Chapter 1: Du Xian ER
¶¾Ïɶù (Du Xian Er): Du= poison Xian=fairy Er= used to call someone close
Night
It was really quiet. asionally, sounds of beasts howling and wind blowing through the grass could be heard. The moon was embedded in the dark blue sky. Under the full moon was a pool of water braved by a thin fog. In this dim white mist, a graceful figure was faintly discernible.
¡°Miss, I¡¯ve found out.¡±
At one side of the pool, a person in dark clothes knelt on one knee with her head bowed to express her respect for the beauty in the water.
¡°Mm......talk.......¡±
That young woman¡¯s voice sounded sweet like the clear spring in the mountains. In this silent night, it was particrly pleasant to hear.
¡°Five years ago, miss and Murong Xin Lian went into the pce together to visit the then Noble Lady Murong Xue Lian. Miss stole the glowing pearl that the emperor had gifted to Murong Xue Lian. Murong Xin Lian found out and told prime minister Murong Tai. Murong Tai punished miss with the home punishment (being beaten with a wooden stick on the back). Then he sent miss to Jing Xin An......¡±
Nobledy is a rank in the imperial harem
Jing Xin An is a temple/nunnery
Hearing this, the young woman chuckled.
So it turned out that this was the reason. No wonder when she woke up, she was in a broken house at the back of a nunnery without a single person around her.
Hearing the young woman¡¯sughter, the person in ck paused. Before she wondered why miss let her go investigate this. However after she investigated, she understood. Originally, she thought her own life was miserable, she didn¡¯t expect that miss¡¯s life was even more miserable. Being beaten half to death by her biological father and thrown in the nunnery to fend for herself. It seemed that being born in a rich and powerful family was not necessarily a happy thing.
Seemingly to have realized the person in ck¡¯s emotions, the young womanughed heartily: ¡°I¡¯m alright, you can continue.¡±
¡°From what this subordinate discovered, the glowing pearl was actually taken by Murong Xin Lian. She let the maid at miss¡¯ side Fei Cui hide it in miss¡¯ chamber and deliberately framed miss. Now, Fei Cui has be Murong Xin Lian¡¯s confidante and head maid.¡±
¡°Oh......So it¡¯s like that ah......Fei Cui, Murong Xin Lian......¡±
The young woman lifted a wisp of ck hair and yed with it in her hands. White fingers yed like snakes with the ck hair, making the ck hair seemed like it was a waterfall. Really beautiful.
¡°Miss, do you want...?¡±
The person in ck made a ¡®kacha¡¯ hand gesture.
This nasty pair of master and servant used such low means to frame miss. Should have killed them long ago.
In the person in ck¡¯s eyes shed a hint of ruthlessness. Just a nod from miss, and she would immediately go to the prime minister¡¯s mansion and kill those two bitches.
She knew the person in ck¡¯s loyalty, but she had never thought about wanting the other party¡¯s life. After all, she is not ¡®her¡¯.
The real miss Murong, she¡¯s afraid, must have already died after the twenty ps from the wooden stick. Now, she¡¯s just a guest from the other world. As long as they don¡¯t provoke her, she¡¯s toozy to bother with those small characters.
¡°Am I not the biological daughter of the first wife? Why does this Murong Xin Lian from the illegitimate line dare to do this to me? Could it be that Murong Tai¡¯s first wife is so muddleheaded?¡±
¡°Answering miss, even though you are from the legitimate line, but since young, your body was weak and you couldn¡¯t practice martial arts, so......¡±
The following words, the person in ck didn¡¯t say but in her heart, she was puzzled. Sir Mozun used ¡®genius from the heaven¡¯ to describe miss. Even that person said miss is ¡®a century rare¡¯ genius. How could it be that she wasbelled as useless by her family?!
¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m a useless decoration. Dad doesn¡¯t like me, mom doesn¡¯t love me. Even after knowing that she¡¯s framed, a useless daughter dying is alright. Is this what you wanted to say?¡±
The young woman swam to the shore and looked smilingly at the person in ck kneeling on the ground.
Hearing that, the person in ck shuddered. She immediately lowered her head.
¡°Miss, this was not what this subordinate meant......¡±
¡°Hahaha! Stand up! I have said, there aren¡¯t that many rules. I¡¯m teasing you!¡±
The young woman¡¯sughter was like silver bells. Seeing that she wasn¡¯t angry, the person in ck¡¯s heart felt slightly relieved.
Everyone knew that miss is like Sir Mozun, temperamental but with extraordinary ability. That¡¯s why she won Sir Mozun¡¯s love. Not only did he adopt her as his daughter, he also passed Moyu over to her.
Moyu: a dark sect from jianghu
In this world, you can offend everyone but you can¡¯t offend miss.
Offending Sir Mozun, at most you¡¯ll die, but if you offend miss, living would be more painful than death. Being with miss for five years, the person in ck understood this fact clearly.
¡°Miss, it¡¯s those people who don¡¯t have eyes. They dare to treat miss, this pearl, as a pebble. It¡¯s their loss.¡±
The person in ck stood up. The look in her eyes while looking at the young woman was stunning.
Even though she served miss for so long, the times she got to see miss¡¯s true appearance weren¡¯t much. Every time she saw her real appearance, even as a young woman, she¡¯s attracted by miss. Such a beautiful young woman, making people not dare to get closer. Not dare to act profane and couldn¡¯t help but bow to worship......
¡°No need to bother with them. These are things of the past. They are just some small shrimps. This old madam (referring to herself in an arrogant way) is toozy to y with them.¡±
The young woman once again swam into the water. The white misty fog enveloped her.
¡°Miss, this time, I¡¯ve found out another thing.¡±
¡°The one with a marriage arrangement with miss, Jing wang1 Longze Jing Tian, had won the south, He Lan Yu. Soon, he¡¯ll return triumphantly with the troops to the capital. Now everyone at court is saying that Jing wang is a young war god. Murong Xin Lian seems to have a crush on Longze Jing Tian and wants to sabotage.¡±
Just now, she was thinking if they didn¡¯t bother her, she wouldn¡¯t bother them. Hearing this, the young woman in the water humphed coldly. Then sheughed again.
¡°Jing wang is returning? Surely in a few days, Murong Tai will send people over to get me. The funny things will begin!¡±
Su Mei couldn¡¯t figure out why miss was happy, but she understood, if miss was happy, someone was in trouble. She just didn¡¯t know if that unlucky person was Murong Xin Lian or another person......
¡°First, you go back to Moyu and arrange everything. When youe back, bring Su Yue. Go......¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
After a gust of wind, the person in ck disappeared without a trace.
The young woman soaked in the hot springzily. Her eyes were looking at the moon in the sky.
In a sh, she had been in this world for five years. Don¡¯t know if the people from that world could also see such a beautiful moon......
Just as the young woman was in deep thought, the sounds of swords came from both far and near.
¡°Go die, Longze Jing Tian! Your people wouldn¡¯te here in time! Brothers, hurry! The person who kills Jing wang, the reward will be his! Hahaha!¡±
¡°Relying on only you guys, you want to hurt me?¡±
Although the voice of this person was calm, but he was already seriously injured. The other party have a lot of men and they¡¯re all experts.
It seems that wanting to take a bath quietly would be impossible.......
The young woman leisurely got out of water. She gently wiped the drops of water from her body. Then she wrapped herself with the white clothes hanging on a tree.
¡°Longze Jing Tian, if it¡¯s under normal circumstances, we certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt you, but you¡¯ve been poisoned for several days. I don¡¯t believe that, with so many people from our Wu Ji Gong, we can do nothing to you! Everyone, don¡¯t listen to him. Let¡¯s attack together! They only have five people!¡±
In the dark, ¡®shua shua¡¯ sounds can be heard. More than a dozen people in ck rounded the five people.
¡°Wangye, you go first. We will dy them here!¡±
Lu Yuan blocked Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Ye, escort wangye and leave!¡±
¡°Big brother, I won¡¯t go! You go with wangye!¡±
At a side, Lu Ye cut off a man in ck¡¯s head.
¡°Big brother, leave!¡±
¡°None of you can leave!¡±
Just in a blink of eye, a charming woman in red stood next to Mei Sha.
¡°Senior brother, such a small thing, howe it¡¯s still not done yet?¡±
¡°Junior sister, Jing wang is not a small character. A lot of our people had died!¡±
¡°Humph! inly, you are useless! Look at me!¡±
A red figure went towards Lu Ye next to Longze Jing Tian. A muffled sound could be heard. On Lu Ye¡¯s abdomen, there was a hole. Blood dripped out.
Lu Ye felt pain, he knelt with one knee. With a sword in one hand, he is supporting himself to not fall. The other hand quickly hit the pressure point to stop the bleeding.
¡°Hehehe, it¡¯s of no use, my dagger has poison on it.¡±
The woman in redughed evilly. White teeth, red lips. Looking at it, she seemed like a demoness from hell.
¡°Ye, how are you?¡±
Lu Yuan hurriedly went to Lu Ye¡¯s side, only to find out that his lips were already purple. His face is filled with ayer of ck.
¡°Demoness, give me your life!¡±
Seeing his little brother hurt, Lu Yuan pointed his sword at Jue Sha, but has been dodged by her.
¡°Longze Jing Tian, our task is only to take your head. Why should you make things difficult for the people who follow you?! As long as you are obedient, we will let them go. I can also give him the antidote!¡±
Jue Sha is standing beside Mei Sha. One in red, one in ck, really matching. It was just, the woman in red was quite pretty and the man in ck was really ugly.
Although that man called Longze Jing Tian was seriously wounded, but he was still standing with a straight back. Although he was somewhat pale, but the aura emitting from his body would make people not dare to get close to him.
¡°Benwang2 wants to know who is the one that wants my life?¡±
Longze Jing Tian slowly opened his mouth. His voice is deep, full of confidence. Even with the present situation, not a trace of panic can be heard.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Mei Sha seemed to have heard a good joke.
¡°Longze Jing Tian, when you are in hell, Yan Luo will tell you. Go die......¡±
Yan Luo is the king of hell
Mei Sha turned into a ck wind and went straight at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s chest.
His speed was fast, making it so that Lu Yuan can¡¯t approach.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Lu Yuan¡¯s roar revealed a trace of despair. He could only watch Mei Sha¡¯s sword pierce into Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart.
¡°Kuang.......¡±
Suddenly, a white wind caught Mei Sha¡¯s sword.
¡°Kuangdang......¡±
The sword turned into ash in the white wind. Then screams were heard. Three people in ck had fallen.
¡°Who are you?¡±
The stunned Mei Sha took a few steps back before he stood firm. He was surprised to see the young woman in white before him. In his eyes showed astonishment.
To be able to cut open his tornado easily, who is this young woman?
¡°You disturbed my quietness.¡±
The young woman in white passed one of her fingers leisurely through her dripping wet hair. With the sweep of the finger, a white mist emerged and her hair became instantly dry. The hair were loose over her shoulders till her ankles.
This scene appeared somewhat spooky to the crowd. When everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the young woman¡¯s face, sounds of saliva dripping on the ground betrayed their inner thoughts.
¡°Boss, it¡¯s a beauty!¡±
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Benwang: this king, I used by the prince of first rank
Chapter 2: Du Xian ER (2)
Chapter 2: Du Xian ER (2)
¡°Boss, this woman is the most beautiful woman I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±
His subordinates¡¯ thoughts were just like Mei Sha¡¯s, but he had more intellect than them. Why such a stunning woman appeared in this deserted mountain was something no one knew.
¡°Wangye!¡±1
Compared to Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people, the people under Longze Jing Tian were calmer. Lu Yuan and the other three people protected Longze Jing Tian in a circle. Seeing his expression turning worse by the minute, Lu Yuan¡¯s heart burst in anxiety. Time was limited, they couldn¡¯t dy longer.
¡°Are you Longze Jing Tian¡¯s reinforcement?¡±
As a woman, seeing another woman who was a thousand times more beautiful than herself made Jue Sha very unhappy. One foot struck at Mei Sha who was still in a daze and she red fiercely at the woman.
¡°I¡¯m not.¡±
The young woman in white smiled. From behind her, another sound of breath being inhaled was heard.
It seemed that she could no longer use this face to meet people. Sooner orter, this face would bring trouble to her! The young woman in white regretted that when she came out, she didn¡¯t wear the ¡®Water Moon Mirror¡¯. She could¡¯ve used it to cover her peerless looks. Then she wouldn¡¯t have these people¡¯s attention.
Water Moon Mirror is like a mask which can seal her original face and give her a normal-looking face
¡°Humph! No matter who you are, since you are here, you have to die!¡±
The sounds of breath being stopped just now, gave Jue Sha more unhappiness. She thought that she was really beautiful. She didn¡¯t expect that this woman in white would steal the limelight. Women¡¯s jealousy was like a venomous snake, hovering around Jue Sha.
¡°Oh?¡±
After listening to that, the young woman in white felt likeughing. She ignored these people and walked to Lu Ye who had just been poisoned. She feed him a pill.
¡°Long ago, I heard that Wu Ji Gong¡¯s Jue Sha¡¯s speciality is poison, however it seems just so-so.¡±
During the moment that she was speaking, Lu Ye¡¯s face turned a lot better.
¡°Thanking miss for your help!¡±
Lu Ye cupped his fists as a way to say thanks and walked with difficulty to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s side. Like everyone else, he protected Longze Jing Tian in a circle.
After seeing that this woman could actually cure her poison, Jue Sha was absolutely shocked.
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°Me?¡±
The young woman in white frowned and thought for a moment. Then she softly answered Jue Sha: ¡°In the jianghu,2 they call me Du Xian Er.¡±
Du Xian Er? The moment they heard this name, the people who had been indulging in the beauty of the young woman in white, immediately paled. Longze Jing Tian was also shocked.
Legend had it that Du Xian Er¡¯s looks could shake the heavens but she¡¯s vicious and merciless. The moment she takes action, no one would live. Some people say that she¡¯s the pearl of that old poisonous fart of Moyu. She had debuted only three years ago, but was now famous over all the jianghu. Although not many people had seen her; the ones who had were all dead.
Didn¡¯t expect that the woman with such vicious methods ording to the rumors, turned out to be such a beautiful woman.
Her exquisite body was wrapped in those white clothes. A pair of white jade-like feet gently stepped on the grass. Those feet were wless like they had been carved out by the world¡¯s most skilled person. They were only as big as a man¡¯s palm size, making people want to y with them in their hands.
This young woman looked innocent and faultless like a fairy. Where can it be seen that she even had half a rtion with poison?!
¡°Your subordinates are really loyal!¡±
The frightening and flustering of the people in ck were within the expectations of the young woman in white. She was toozy to bother with them. The young woman in white turned around and looked at Longze Jing Tian.
So, it turned out that this is Jing wang Longze Jing Tian, ah! Not to mention, this person had an arranged marriage with herself. But looking at his sorry state, the young woman in white felt likeughing.
Just now, she had talked about this person with Su Mei. Didn¡¯t expect that talking about caocao, caocao wille, but they met under such circumstances.
Talk about caocao and caocao wille: talk about the devil and the devil will appear
¡°I¡¯ve heard that what kind of master would have what kind of servants. It appears that your personality is not bad!¡±
Just now, he only saw the young woman in white¡¯s slim figure, but from the expression of the other people, Longze Jing Tian concluded that this woman was a rare beauty.
But now being face to face with her, Longze Jing Tian discovered that using ¡®beauty¡¯ to describe her was not perfect; for her, you could only use ¡®capable of causing the downfall of and¡¯ to convey the meaning.
A strange feeling suddenly filled Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart. When meeting her eyes, Longze Jing Tian clearly heard his heart beat faster with ¡®pu¡¯ sounds. He must get this woman!
The young woman in white didn¡¯t know that Longze Jing Tian had set his eyes on her. She threw him a pink pill.
¡°Such a beautiful scene. Its quietness has been scrambled by them. Really makes people upset. This miss hasn¡¯t used her hands for quite a while. I¡¯m afraid that they have turned rusty. Need to asionally practice. Longze Jing Tian, why don¡¯t we make a deal? If you give me money, I¡¯ll kill them.¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Although the young woman in white¡¯s words were sudden, but Longze Jing Tian still nodded. Her voice calling his name was really pleasant to hear, just like how he imagined.
With their present condition, unless reinforcements arrive, it¡¯ll be really difficult to escape from here. Instead of putting hope on the unknown, he might as well grab on this straw of grass in front of him. Perhaps, this Du Xian Er was the savior that heaven sent to him.
¡°tly, five hundred thousand silver.¡±
Obviously, they¡¯re surrounded by so many killers, but the young woman in white didn¡¯t seem to have put them in her heart. Instead, she started to do business in front of them, making the people in ck a little terrified.
So many people, in the young woman in white¡¯s mouth, it was just like bargaining dishes. It seemed that in the girl in white¡¯s eyes, they were not killers but just a business.
¡°Deal.¡±
An ivory dragon-shaped jade flew from Longze Jing Tian¡¯s hand and fell into the young woman in white¡¯s hand.
¡°This is my keepsake, miss cane any time to Jing wangfu3 to get the money.¡±
¡°Straightforward, I like that!¡±
The young woman in white put away the jade. The arc of her mouth is growing upward. Don¡¯t know when on her wrist appeared a pair of golden bracelet. On each bracelet hung five thumb sized gold bells.
¡°Seizing Soul Bell? That old poisonous fart actually passed this thing to you?¡±
Jue Sha and Mei Sha are shocked after seeing this scene. Jue Sha paled. Mei Sha¡¯s expression changed greatly.
¡°Yes, ah! Dad said that two bastards stole his poison book, betrayed Moyu and dirtied the door of Moyu. He said if I meet them, I must help him clean the door. Very unfortunately, today it was you who came at the point of my sword!¡±
The young woman in white¡¯s word made Mei Sha¡¯s heart tighten. Twenty years ago, they were only two disciples of Moyu¡¯s Sir Mozun. Taking advantage of Mozun practicing with the door closed, they stole his poison book and poisoned a few other disciples. Nearly causing Mozun to let his fire enter the demons and finally destroyed half of Moyu.
×ß»ðÈëħ : the literal meaning is fire entered your demons. It¡¯s a saying used when someone is obsessed with practicing martial arts that they get side- effects.
These two people fled out of Moyu and established Wu Ji Gong. Although so many years have passed, Moyu didn¡¯t cause trouble for Wu Ji Gong, but they are still very afraid of that old poisonous fart.
They didn¡¯t expect that the old poisonous fart adopted a daughter and also passed his secrets to her.
¡°Senior brother, don¡¯t be afraid! Today, that old poisonous fart isn¡¯t here. With only a liar little girl, she can do nothing to us!¡±
Jue Sha gritted her teeth tofort Mei Sha. It was just, although she was saying that, but the cold sweats on her forehead were dripping down. Even she herself wasn¡¯t aware of the fear that the young woman in white bring to her.
¡°Is it like that?¡±
The smile on the young woman in white¡¯s face paused. The golden bells on her hands made some sounds.
Not waiting for people to understand what was happening, ten golden threads flew out from the bells. Like ten golden snakes they flew from her hand. A burst of sweet flower fragrance emerged. The fragrance shrouded the people in ck. Before they had the chance to scream, they fell lifelessly on the ground.
Really powerful poison! Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes turned deeper.
With only a moment of effort and before people understood, the people who just now yelled that they want Longze Jing Tian¡¯s life, fell on the ground. The corpses rotted into water. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
¡°Are they done like this?¡±
The scene in front of him left Lu Yuan stunned. Those vicious killers, in front of the young woman in white, they were like cotton. What kind of situation was this?
¡°Ah......¡±
Lu Yuan¡¯s silly words, made the young woman in white smile amused.
¡°Take your master and go! In the future if you see me, hide! Remember to take the antidote. Next time you won¡¯t have such good luck!¡±
Not waiting for Lu Yuan to understand her words, the young woman in white jumped into the sky, stepped on branches and flew out of their sight like a butterfly.
¡°Really good qinggong4!¡±
Longze Jing Tian words just fell, when he felt his chest turn stuffy. A ck blood rushed to his lips. With a ¡®pu¡¯ sound, he spit it out.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Lu Yuan just now remember the pill that the young woman in white gave them. Could it be the antidote? But this antidote came from an unknown origin, how could he let wangye take it?!
Just as Lu Yuan was hesitating, Longze Jing Tian put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Lu Yuan was startled.
¡°Don¡¯t worry! Du Xian Er won¡¯t harm me!¡±
Longze Jing Tian said this just because of his intuition, but he had won this bet. Sure enough, not long after, he felt better. It seems that this Du Xian Er was quite someone. She could poison and she could cure poison. But just thinking about how those living people turned into water just now, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart sank.
¡°Lu Yuan, benwang 5 wants to know every information of Du Xian Er! If she reallye to wangfu to get the money, be sure to find the ce where she lives!¡±
¡°Wangye¡¯s meaning is......this woman can¡¯t stay?¡± (He means that this woman can¡¯t be left alive)
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment.
¡°No! This Du Xian Er is really to benwang¡¯s taste. Benwang, has decided to marry her as consort!¡±
Not to mention her power with poison, even with her beauty alone, in this world no man wiould not be tempted.
Just thinking about the young woman in white¡¯s small size jade like feet, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart turned hot. This woman is his! No matter if it¡¯s the body or the heart, he will get it!
¡°But wangye, don¡¯t you already have an arranged marriage......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention that rubbish from Murong family! This time when benwang go back, I¡¯ll break the engagement!¡±
With the guards¡¯ escort, Longze Jing Tian left here. After he left, the young woman in white appeared. The moon fell on the girl rose like lips. Like petals, it opened: ¡°Longze Jing Tian, so you hate me this rubbish from Murong family so much, ah?! Wants to break the engagement? Good! Very good! This miss will help you!¡±
1. Wangye/wang: the prince of first rank
2. Jianghu: the world of martial arts
3. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
4. Qinggong: the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees
5. Benwang: this king, I used by the prince of first rank
Chapter 3: Xiangfu’s Third Miss
Chapter 3: Xiangfu¡¯s Third Miss
July.
The sun is so bright that it¡¯s burning the eyes. In Cui Zhu yuan1 at southeast corner of the prime minister¡¯s mansion, while Murong Qi Qi is eating iced watermelon, she is listening to Su Yue who is telling the interesting things that happened recently in the capital.
¡°Miss, since you came back, every three days, there will be someone who start a rumor to nder you......¡±
¡°Some say you are ugly and really ill and will not live past eighteen.......¡±
¡°Some say your personality is vulgar, even rural women are not as wild.....¡±
¡°There were also people who mentioned the theft of that year. They told it like it has a nose and eyes, like they personally have witnessed miss steal the glowing pearl......¡±
¡°This subordinate has found out. The person who is spreading the rumor is Murong Xin Lian¡¯s head maid Fei Cui. Miss, should I......¡±
The more Su Yue was talking, the angrier she got. She want to pass a knife directly into the people who were badmouthing Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Su Yue, calm down!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took over the wet handkerchief from Su Mei and carefully wiped her fingers.
¡°I¡¯ve told you long ago, fighting and killing won¡¯t solve the problem. This miss is a clear sighted person. A gentleman only use words and not hands.¡±
Hearing this, Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but twitch. Miss really could say such empty words without a change of expression and without turning red. When weren¡¯t the matters at the end solved by miss with the most direct ¡®violence¡¯......
This pair of master and servants were talking, when they heard sound of footsteps. It seemed like some people came to Cui Zhu yuan in search of trouble! And it appeared that it was more than one person!
But since the master didn¡¯t say anything, Su Mei and Su Yue also didn¡¯t say anything. They immediately went obediently behind Murong Qi Qi. Just as they finished putting a humble appearance, the people entered Cui Zhu yuan.
¡°Yo! You are really tolerant, ah!¡±
Murong Qing Lian stepped into Cui Zhu yuan and saw Murong Qi Qi lying leisurely in a rocking chair with her eyes half closed.
¡°I say third big sister, outside the rumors are flying to the sky. You the involved party is still indifferent. Is your face really thick skinned or is it that you don¡¯t know what shame is, ah?!¡±
The one speaking is Murong family¡¯s fourth miss. Although her mother Liu Yan Zhi is a concubine, but she is Murong Tai¡¯s most pampered concubine. Murong Qing Lian has reached the fourth level of martial arts. She is leader of the new generation. That¡¯s why she got Murong Tai¡¯s love and also made her develop her arrogant personality.
The young woman in pink beside Murong Qing Lian was Murong Xin Lian. Of course, she came to watch. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything and also didn¡¯t open her eyes to look at them, Murong Xin Lian pretended to be surprised: ¡°Third little sister, you went to Jing Xin An for five years, can it be that your illness got worse?! Or is it that you have turned deaf?!¡±
Su Yue frowned slightly. Then she looked at Murong Qi Qi. She (MQQ) was still like a dead pig who wasn¡¯t afraid of hot water. Didn¡¯t say anything and didn¡¯t look up. Knowing that her master was doing this on purpose, she also yed deaf and mute.
Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian talked for half a day, still Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything. When had people treat the two of them so coldly?
Murong Qing Lian rushed to Murong Qi Qi. Just as she was about to scream in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear, but she had been frightened by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s scream.
¡°Third big sister, you want to scare people to death, ah?!¡±
Murong Qing Lian clutched her ears and shed to a side. Her eardrums are painful.
¡°Fourth little sister, it¡¯s you, ah?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled. When she looked at Murong Xin Lian, her eyes widened and she said in astonishment: ¡°Second big sister, you also came to see me, ah?! Aiya ya, sorry, just now I was asleep and dreamed a good dream. I didn¡¯t know you came. This truly is a sin!¡±
Originally, she thought Murong Qi Qi was ying the fool. At this time, seeing that she was still as simple as five years ago, the doubts in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart dispelled a bit.
¡°Third little sister, what did you dream about? Tell us,!¡±
¡°Right, ah! Third big sister, what good dream have you dreamed about? Tell me, ah!¡±
At this time, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ear didn¡¯t hurt anymore. Instead, she seemed more interested in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dream.
These two people obviously had no sisterly love. They hade over to provoke and attack Murong Qi Qi. But they still had to act as if they had sisterly love between them. Murong Qi Qi felt funny looking at them and also felt disgusted. Because Murong Qi Qi inherited the memory of the previous owner of this body, naturally Murong Qi Qi knew how these two people tormented Murong family¡¯s third miss in private. Which begun with grabbing her clothes; then putting sand and worms in her food and finally giving her beatings for no reason. Pinching and twisting her flesh when they were in a bad mood and also threatened her to not tell anyone......
As long as a ce had these two women, there wouldn¡¯t be a good day for Murong Qi Qi. Now she had be Murong Qi Qi. Speaking about this, it was time to look for them to let them repay the past debt. she couldn¡¯t be bullied without gain.
When Murong Qi Qi got in touch with the ¡®hatred¡¯ in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes, her heart jumped. She made her face get a touch of blush. Her expression also turned shy: ¡°I dreamed about Jing wangye[Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank]. I dreamt about Jing wangyetaking me to an outing......¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words left her mouth, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face immediately paled. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. That¡¯s right, howe she had forgotten that this rubbish is the future Jing wangfei2?!
The man she had a crush on, in the end would need to marry this rubbish, which made Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart furious. Although she was more beautiful and more outstanding than Murong Qi Qi, she was born by concubine. Even though she¡¯s the daughter of the prime minister, an illegitimate daughter could, at most, marry into a good family as a concubine. Thinking about the difference between her mother Zheng Min and the main wife Li Qiu Shui, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart overturned the seas and rivers. One is the legitimate daughter of one of the great families; one is just a merchant family¡¯s illegitimate daughter. After marriage, the difference would be naturally as big as the sky. Not only was the difference between their statuses big, even the statuses of their children would have a big gap.
Overturned the seas and rivers: be in a spectacr mess
What did Murong Xue Lian have to be able to ener the pce? What did she have to get the emperor¡¯s love and be an imperial noble consort? All of it was because of her noble birth! She just didn¡¯t have a mother born from one of the four great families, why was her life so unfair?
The moment she thought about that Murong Qi Qi this rubbish born from a daughter of one of the four great families, even though she¡¯s ipetent and is only rubbish, she could still be Jing wangfei, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart felt as bad as though she had eaten a fly.
Her birth was only ten days apart from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, but why is there such a big difference in their fates?!
Murong Xin Lian doubted more than once. It must had been the wet nurse who switched the babies. It was her who should have been Li Qiu Shui¡¯s daughter. But after all, reality is reality. No matter how much she fantasied in her mind, she was still a concubine¡¯s daughter and was still illegitimate.
¡°Second big sister, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±
Seeing Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face changing into different kinds of expressions, Murong Qi Qi pretended to be concerned and asked. In fact, Murong Qi Qi is delighted!
Envy!
Be jealous!
Hate!
As the seed of greed begins to grow, the flower of indulgence blooms and people will lose their intellect. This miss couldn¡¯t find an opportunity to take revenge, just waiting for you toe and ¡®make trouble¡¯!

Chapter 4: The Fight
Chapter 4: The Fight
¡°No, nothing.¡±
In just a moment, Murong Xin Lian returned back to normal.
Looking at that ordinary face without any special trait, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart felt another round of unwillingness. Everything about her is better than Murong Qi Qi, but her humble origin is a thorn inserted deep in her heart. Moving slightly, the pain would make her unable to breath, really ufortable!
¡°Second big sister could it be that you are jealous of third big sister?! I heard that you really admire Jing wangye1, ah!¡±
Murong Qing Lian grinned with a face full of innocence.
¡°Such a pity, ah! Jing wangye and third big sister already have an arranged marriage. This is probably the so called fools have fool¡¯s luck! Second big sister, you and I don¡¯t have that life. We might as well take the time to upgrade ourselves and be the champion at thepetition between the four countries. Maybe you will then get an ideal husband!¡±
Murong Qing Lian had an innocent face, but every wording out of her mouth was like a thorn. These words seemed like they were consoling Murong Xin Lian, but actually they were fanning the fire. They onlycked oil to put on the fire.
Sure enough, the women from great families were not easy to deal with!
Murong Qi Qi continued to put an innocent expression and did as if she didn¡¯t understand Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words.
Being stimted like that by Murong Qing Lian, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s resentment was like a snowball; the more you roll it, the bigger it got. She also knew that Murong Qing Lian was waiting for her to make a joke of herself, but what the other party has said was the truth. The future Jing wangfei2 was standing in front of her. This was something that no matter what she did, she couldn¡¯t ignore.
But even though her heart was ufortable, she couldn¡¯t afford to lose to Murong Qing Lian.
¡°The way fourth little sister speaks is really interesting. Jing wang is good at everything. The feelings I have for him is like worshipping a hero! Third little sister have such blessing is her good fortune, isn¡¯t that right?!¡±
¡°Hehe......,¡± Murong Qing Lian chuckled loudly.
¡°Second big sister, if you really like Jing wangye, you might as beg third big sister to let her speak good things of you and make Jing wang take you in. Although a cefei3 couldn¡¯t bepared to a main wife, but it was still more decent than a concubine. Little sister¡¯s nning wholeheartedly for you, ah!¡±
While bullying Murong Qi Qi, these two sisters were one mind, but privately these two people were not satisfied with each other.
The reason was very simple. Although Murong Tai had seven concubines, but the ones he pampered the most were these two¡¯s mothers and that was why they were born. And their mothers were also rivals of each other. The two¡¯s struggle would of course continue on the next generation.
Murong Xin Lian saw that Murong Qing Lian was ridiculing her in front of Murong Qi Qi, her expression immediately fell.
¡°Fourth little sister, what do you mean? Are you bullying me because I¡¯m from the illegitimate line? Don¡¯t forget, you are also from the illegitimate line! Later when you get married, you will also only be a concubine!¡±
¡°Second big sister don¡¯t have to worry about this!¡±
After listening to Murong Xin Lian¡¯s words, Murong Qin Lian snorted. She had long hated Murong Xin Lian¡¯s actions. Now she (MXL) was talking words with thorns, Murong Qing Lian was also not easy to deal with.
¡°Daddy said as long as I can get a ce in the athletics tournaments, he will find me a good husband. But second big sister, you have trained so hard, but you are still only at the third level. If I were you, I will hide my face in my sleeves in shame and wouldn¡¯te out to meet with people!¡±
¡°You!¡±
Murong Xin Lian knew that her talent in martial arts was not as high as Murong Qing Lian¡¯s. This was also exactly why when they fought, Murong Tai would be biased towards Murong Qing Lian. Now Murong Qing Lian was obviously humiliating her, how could Murong Xin Lian ept this?
Seeing Murong Xin Lian grit her teeth, Murong Qing Lian was in a good mood. She put her hand on her mouth and snickered.
¡°Aiya, I¡¯ve forgotten, second big sister is now the number one beauty of the capital, how can this face be hidden? You should let people see it more often! Maybe someone will fancy your beauty and directly carry you into a room. Then you can tell daddy about this!¡±
Murong Qing Lian had Murong Tai¡¯s love, so she was used to being arrogant. While talking she wouldn¡¯t go easy on people. In contrast, it was Murong Xin Lian who always wanted to protect her ¡®virtuous¡¯ image. Faced with the eloquent Murong Qing Lian, Murong Xin Lian could only face defeat.
Cool! Really cool! Seeing these two sisters fighting each other, Murong Qi Qi was the happiest person on the scene. What was this called? Cats and dogs! The more they fight, the happier she woudl be!
They came with the intention to humiliate Murong Qi Qi, but in the end she was humiliated by Murong Qing Lian. How could Murong Xin Lian ept this? No matter what, Murong Qing Lian let her lost face in front of the rubbish Murong Qi Qi. This was something she absolutely couldn¡¯t ept.
¡°Use your whip to paint her face!¡±
While Murong Xin Lian was really furious, a voice reached her ears. Not waiting for Murong Xin Lian to understand where these words came from, her hands began to move. She raised the whip and whipped Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face.
¡°Ah!¡±
The one, who just now was as proud as a peacock, immediately covered her face and screamed. She stared at the whip in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hand. Her eyes were full of disbelief.
¡°Second bid sister, you actually wanted to ruin my looks? Murong Xin Lian, shame on you!¡±
Murong Qin Lian pulled out a sword and pointed it at Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Fourth little sister, don¡¯t be impulsive, ah!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian like this, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart almost lost breath because ofughing, but she put an anxious expression.
¡°Second big sister didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡±
¡°Get out of my way! This is none of your business!¡±
How would the furious Murong Qing Lian listen to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®persuasion¡¯? The sword in her hand stabbed Murong Xin Lian at her soft spot.
¡°Miss, be careful, ah!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s maid Fei Cui anxiously warned Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Zhen Zhu, beat that maid to death!¡±
Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t take Fei Cui¡¯s expression. She immediately gave her head maid Zhen Zhu an order.
¡°Beat her fiercely!¡±
Receiving miss¡¯smand, Zhen Zhu also didn¡¯t think much, rushed and pped Fei Cui twice in the face. Her action was fierce and skillful. After a moment, she left five fingerprints on Fei Cui¡¯s face.
¡°You dare to p me?¡±
Fei Cui was now seeing stars because of Zhen Zhu. She followed Murong Xin Lian and has always been a head maid, when had she been bullied like this? She immediately went into a fight with Zhen Zhu.
¡°Don¡¯t fight anymore! Second big sister, fourth little sister, if you have something to say, talk, don¡¯t fight anymore!¡±
Murong Qi Qi hid in the corner. From time to time, she would shout. While she was tired from shouting, Su Mei handed her a slice of melon to soothe her throat.
While Murong Xin Lan¡¯s whip shot out once again, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice once again came over.
¡°Fourth little sister, your face is bleeding. If you don¡¯t treat it, it¡¯ll leave scars!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hand flicked once again and the whip went to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face. The whip left a print on both side, very symmetrical.
¡°Aiya, second big sister, how can you be so cruel?! Even if you¡¯re jealous of Fourth little sister, you don¡¯t need to be like this!¡±
Murong Qi Qi ¡®eximed¡¯ in surprise.
With Murong Qi Qi fanning the mes, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s anger rose. The sword went to Murong Xin Lian¡¯s body mercilessly. A thin hole was left in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s left arm. Finally the sword crossed Murong Xin Lian¡¯s forehead.

Chapter 5: Second Miss is Good at Acting
Chapter 5: Second Miss is Good at Acting
The Murong Xin Lian who¡¯d originally wanted to stop, touched her face. Warm. Bleeding. Murong Xin Lian¡¯s anger got to another level! Murong Qing Lian¡¯s wounds would stop swelling with some cream but the wounds on her own face were the real deal. If it left a scar, she was afraid that her looks would really be ruined!
After thinking that Murong Qin Lian didn¡¯t even care about sisterhood and destroyed her looks that she cared the most about, Murong Xin Lian was also no longer merciful.
Murong Xin Lian began to be serious. Murong Qing Lian was also not easy to deal with. She humphed coldly and alsoe up with her real skills. Since Murong Xin Lian ruined her face, she would also destroy Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face!
¡°Ping pingpang pang!¡±
The two see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s Cui Zhu yuan 1 as a battlefield. Wherever they went, they would smash down.
¡°Don¡¯t, ah! My Cui Zhu yuan, ah! Don¡¯t fight anymore!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wailing continuously transmitted into Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ears. It¡¯s ear-piercing and also let them pay more devotion and wrecked more things.
At the other side, Murong Qi Qi separated Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu with difficulty.
¡°You two, go persuade them quickly. Let them not fight anymore!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression looked really pitiful. Her demeanour was also out of ce. While looking at Murong Qi Qi, Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu couldn¡¯t help but humph coldly. In their hearts, they thought that third miss was really a good-for-nothing.
¡°Third miss, the matter of the masters, we, ves, cannot interfere.¡±
Fei Cui fiercely red once at Zhen Zhu and then straightened her clothes and hair.
¡°You better watch at the side! Swords have no eyes. Be careful not to hurt yourself!¡±
¡°But, But if they continue like this, I¡¯m afraid that if daddy knew, he would be angry......¡±
Murong Qi Qi lowered her head. Her hands were tugging at the handkerchief.
¡°If he investigated the reason, then you two would also be punished.¡±
Murong Qi Qi gentle words went into Fei Cui¡¯s and Zhen Zhu¡¯s ears and made them immediately understand.
That¡¯s right, today second miss and fourth miss caused such trouble, Murong Tai would not only rebuke one of the misses, he would only put the me on them (FC and ZZ). At that time, the ones who would be suffering was them.
Thinking till there, Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu left Cui Zhu yuan one after another. They hurriedly went to search for savers. The two left in a hurry and didn¡¯t notice the strange smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth.
¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, guard.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sentences were short. Su Mei and Su Yue understood that she was going to give some people a hard time. They immediately looked at the door. Fortunately, Cui Zhu yuan was originally a remote ce and there were only them two who were serving. After Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu left, there were only five people here.
Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian had their hands full of fighting each other, when will they still have the time to bother with Murong Qi Qi? They were even more unaware of the strange atmosphere around them.
¡°Si.......¡±
A slim and sharp sound came out of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. The sound reached Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ears. The two acted as though they had heard the samemand. Their eyes gradually turned red. All the resentment and jealousy they had towards the other seemed like firewood had encountered a fire. The more it burned, the more intense it became.
¡°Go......¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled. She looked again and the two people¡¯s eyes had resumed clear, but the attacks became more vicious. Every attack was to take the other¡¯s life.
Envy, jealousy and hate, the sources of all evil!
Murong Qi Qi sat in the rocking chair and leisurely watched the fighting Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian. If you had no resentment in your heart, this opportunity wouldn¡¯t have been given to me. The debt you owe this body, today pay fully for it back!
When Murong Tai rushed over, he hadn¡¯t stepped into Cui Zhu yuan yet when he heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pitiful voice: ¡°Second big sister, fourth little sister, don¡¯t fight anymore! We are all sisters, what can we not talk about?! Second big sister, don¡¯t, ah......¡±
Murong Tai rushed inside. He saw Murong Qi Qi clutching her chest and gasping on the ground and Murong Xin Lian ring fiercely at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Rubbish, don¡¯t need you to intervene! Today, I¡¯m going to kill this bitch! If you keep meddling, I¡¯ll kill you first!¡±
¡°Rebel! Everyone is rebelling!¡±
Seeing his two dishevelled and full of bloodstains daughters, Murong Tai almost couldn¡¯t breath.
He was originally in a meeting with the Li family¡¯s eldest young master, Li Yun Qing. He didn¡¯t expect Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu to rush in at the same time while yelling for help for their misses, making Murong Tai so angry that he had almost passed out. Now that he hade to Cui Zhu yuan, saw the wrecked look of the yuan and then, after seeing his two daughters¡¯ sorry figures, Murong Tai became really furious.
¡°Stop!¡±
Murong Tai¡¯s left hand grabbed Murong Xin Lian¡¯s whip. His right hand grabbed Murong Qin Lian¡¯s sword. He roared and finally the two stopped fighting.
¡°Dad!¡±
When Murong Qing Lian saw Murong Tai, her eyes immediately turned warm and tears fell down.
¡°Dad, look at my face! I¡¯ve been disfigured by her! You must get justice for daughter, ah!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lianin, Murong Xin Lian almost vomited blood. She was about to defend herself when she saw Li Yun Qing standing at one side. There¡¯s an outsider. Murong Xin Lian immediately put on her normally gentle and virtuous appearance. Delicately and pitifully, she stood to the side. She didn¡¯t defend herself. She just let her big tears fall down.
A genius, ah! Seeing Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ¡®virtuous¡¯ appearance, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but praise this woman¡¯s acting. If she was in the 21st century, she could even get the Oscar.
If it wasn¡¯t because she needed to act like the miserable third miss who had been kicked at the chest, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve grabbed Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hand and awarded her the ¡®Best Performance Award¡¯.
¡°What happened?¡±
Seeing his two daughters¡¯ sorry figures which were also stained with blood, Murong Tai frowned. His voice was also extremely severe.
He knew that these two daughters didn¡¯t get along with each other. He just saw it as girls¡¯ petition¡¯. It¡¯s no big deal. But today, he clearly felt strong murderous intent from the two. This shouldn¡¯t have happened.
¡°Dad, it¡¯s second big sister who began! She is jealous of me because I reached level four!¡±
Murong Qing Lian seemed like she didn¡¯t feel Murong Tai¡¯s unhappy heart. Instead, she continued to pull at his hand and acted like a spoiled child.
¡°Dad, second big sister wounded me. You have to punish her and make her kneel at the shrine!¡±
Murong Xin Lian clearly felt that Murong Tai was really angry, but she couldn¡¯t be like Murong Qing Lian and throw a tantrum. Murong Qing Lian was a talent at learning martial arts. She¡¯s only 14 but had already reached level four. In this country which favoured martial arts, she had something to be proud of. Besides, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s mother Liu Yan Zhi gave birth to Murong fu¡¯s2 only male Murong Jun. She had a brother to protect her. That¡¯s why she could speak like this with Murong Tai.
Thinking till there, Murong Xin Lian knelt in front of Murong Tai.
¡°Dad, it¡¯s daughter¡¯s fault! Daughter originally wanted to y a joke with fourth little sister, but in the end the joke got bigger and bigger and has even rmed daddy. It¡¯s daughter who is wrong!¡±
Murong family¡¯s two daughters; one was spoiled, one was gentle. This was the effect that Murong Xin Lian wanted. The more domineering Murong Qing Lian was, the more it showed that she (MXL) was a well-behaved and pleasant person. Even the crowd could see it clearly.

Chapter 6: Big cousin brother and little cousin sister are Family
Chapter 6: Big cousin brother and little cousin sister are Family
Seeing Murong Xin Lian¡¯s acting, Murong¡¯s Qi Qi¡¯s mouth twitched. This person really was a master at acting. If Murong Qing Lian continued on like this, sooner orter, she would suffer defeat at Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hands.
Murong Qi Qi was watching a y as she clutched her chest. Suddenly, she felt a gaze on her. She raised her head and saw Li Yun Qing.
This man was really beautiful!
Really ck hair was hangingzily behind the ears. A simple bamboo hairpin was in his hair. Dressed in emerald colored clothes that showed this man¡¯s tall stature even more. Looking at those eyes, they were as gentle as the spring breeze in May. Just with one nce, it could warm a person¡¯s heart.
It¡¯s just that gentleness was also a knife. From the gentle eyes of that man, Murong Qi Qi saw the cold at the bottom of those eyes. Such a man may seem gentle and passionate, but was actually the most ruthless. Must definitely not provoke him.
With just one nce, Murong Qi Qi set Li Yun Qing on the side of never contacting again. Towards such a man who was soft on the surface but cold in the heart, Murong Qi Qi would unconsciously exclude him.
Feeling that Li Yun Qing was looking at her with probing eyes, Murong Qi Qi lowered her eyes, clutched her chest and coughed softly as if that kick really did her some harm.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cough broke the y that was just ying. Only now did Murong Tai saw the pale-faced Murong Qi Qi.
Towards this daughter Murong Qi Qi, Murong Tai didn¡¯t have any deep feelings. To Murong Tai, in this life he didn¡¯t have any special regret. When he was young, his career rose meteorically. Later, he married one of the four great families, Li family¡¯s eldest daughter. His worth became double of what it was. Now, he is above ten thousand of people and under one person. His eldest daughter is an Imperial Nobel Consort. So, he was very satisfied.
If Murong Tai had sand in his eyes, the only sand in his eyes was his third daughter Murong Qi Qi. Xi Qi Country favoured martial arts. Be it men or women, young or old, the nobility or the civilians, every one practiced martial arts. Respect came with martial arts. The first emperor, Emperor Gaozu got the world with martial arts. Martial arts was the national soul of Xi Qi. In Xi Qi Country, no matter if you are rich or poor, if you knew martial arts, you would be respected and you would seed more easily.
Although Murong Tai was a literary person, he also knew some fists kung fu. The concubines he married also had some skills; every child born had some good talent in learning martial arts.
Originally, life could continue to be perfect like this, but this abnormal Murong Qi Qi appeared. More directly said, Murong Qi Qi was a rubbish. Since the test she received when she was one year old from a monk who¡¯d concluded that she couldn¡¯t practice martial arts, Murong Tai lost all hope in this daughter. Although she is a woman, she still couldn¡¯t practice martial arts. She was nothing but something to warm the bed. She was just useless rubbish.
That¡¯s why, ever since then, Murong Tai discarded Murong Qi Qi in a remote house and was indifferent towards her. Even knowing that she wouldn¡¯t steal and certainly knowing that there was an ulterior motive, even if she¡¯s a legitimate daughter, but what does it matter?
In Murong Tai¡¯s eyes, even raising a dog would have the role of watching the house. And for the one who didn¡¯t have any value to the prime minister, Murong Qi Qi was even inferior to a dog.......
Now, Murong Qi Qi who had been sent to Jing Xin An for five years by Murong Tai, had been back for three days. From the moment she came back till now, Murong Tai had not seen this third daughter. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murong Tai couldn¡¯t help but carefully observe Murong Qi Qi.
Pale skin, slender eyebrows, the eyes were not big, the bridge of the nose was not high, the lips were not thin nor thick and the color of the lips was somewhat light. She could only be considered a delicate and normal woman.
Murong Tai was a handsome man himself and his wife Li Qiu Shui was one of the beauties. His first daughter, the now Imperial Noble Consort Murong Xue Lian, before she had entered the pce, she¡¯d already been given the name of ¡®number one beauty of the capital¡¯. Now his second daughter Murong Xin Lian is being called the number one beauty of the capital. His youngest daughter Murong Qing Lian, although she¡¯s young, she was already quite pretty. Even his only son is also handsome. Only Murong Qi Qi seemed to not have inherited their strong points. In this family full of beauties, she could only be considered an ordinary and mediocre grass.
Originally, Murong Tai thought that Murong Qi Qi would change after these five years. After seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks, the displeasure in his heart welled up again.
To him, this rubbish daughter is like a mole of a beauty on the tip of her nose, spoiling thendscape. She is also like a fish bone in the throat; couldn¡¯t go down but also couldn¡¯t be spit out, really annoying.
¡°Why are you here?!¡±
Murong Tai didn¡¯t have any ce to vent his anger. Just at the right moment, he saw Murong Qi Qi to vent his anger.
¡°You just came back, the rumors are aleeady flying outside. Really a good thing that you did!¡±
Murong Tai didn¡¯t ask for the right or wrong of the matter and just scolded, making Murong Qi Qi feel a lot of ¡®grievances¡¯. With Su Yue¡¯s help, Murong Qi Qi cautiously stood at one side. Her head was lowered till her chest and she didn¡¯t say a word. She looked like an innocent littlemb.
¡°Uncle, this is the ce where little cousin lives. Of course, she should be here.¡±
Just as Murong Qi Qi wanted to continue to pretend to be mute, from one side she heard a voice speaking up for her. Listening to it, it was actually Li Yun Qing.
This person would actually speak up for her? This made Murong Qi Qi very surprised. Although she needed to call Li Yun Qing big cousin brother, but their rtionship was just normal. They didn¡¯t get together a lot.
Seeing Li Yun Qing open his mouth, Murong Tai could only smile: ¡°Oh, yes, here is third little girl¡¯s Cui Zhu yuan.¡±1
Although Li Yun Qing is Li Qiu Shui¡¯s big brother¡¯s son and is a younger generation, Li Yun Qing is the eldest son of Li Kiu, current patriarch of the Li family. In the younger generation, he was considered a talent and also Li family¡¯s future patriarch. Since he had opened his mouth, Murong Tai had to give him face.
¡°Hadn¡¯te here for a long time. I actually didn¡¯t know that little cousin sister lived in such a ce.¡±
Li Yun Qing looked once around Cui Zhu yuan. This shabby old ce, just with one look, you would know that Murong Qi was not treated well at the prime minister¡¯s.
If it was usually, Li Yun Qing wouldn¡¯t have opened his mouth to help, but just now he was surprised to see a hint of ¡®watching a y¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. This little cousin sister seemed to have changed. So he naturally wouldn¡¯t mind to help.
¡°As far as I know, little sister cousin just came back! Justing back and outside, there¡¯s already so many rumors. I think someone is jealous that little cousin sister is about to be Jing wangfei2, that¡¯s why they made up those rumors. Uncle, these rumors should have been let out by people of the mansion. I think you should investigate well to see who dared to bully my, Li Yun Qing¡¯s little cousin sister!¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯s words had threeyers of meanings:
First: Murong Qi Qi had juste back. She didn¡¯t even have a chance to go out. Those rumors were naturally prepared by other people.
Second: the people who had spread these rumors must be jealous that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fianc¨¦ was Jing wang3. This was obviously a nder.
Third: no matter how bad Murong Qi Qi was, her mother is the first wife, Li family¡¯s eldest daughter. Behind her, there¡¯s still Li family.
Murong Tai naturally understood the meaning of Li Yun Qing¡¯s words. He didn¡¯t think that Murong Qi Qi would enter Li Yun Qing¡¯s eyes and to also let him protect her like this.

Chapter 7: Four Women One Drama
Chapter 7: Four Women One Drama
It¡¯s just that here, after all, is Murong fu1 How he taught his daughter a lesson, Li Yun Qing had no right to intervene.
Thinking till here, Murong Tai¡¯s eyes swept twice over Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect that, after not seeing her for five years, she had learned toin. Li Yun Qing saying this, could it be that she had said something in front of Li family?
Seeing Murong Qi Qi maintaining her timid appearance, anger swelled up in Murong Tai¡¯s heart. If it wasn¡¯t because of Li Yun Qing¡¯s presence, he would have kicked this rubbish. Want beauty, have no beauty. Want ability, have no ability. How did he, Murong Tai, give birth to such a thing?! It really was a disgrace!
After Murong Xin Lian listened to Li Yun Qing¡¯s words, she was somewhat afraid and thought that the things she¡¯d let Fei Cui do had been discovered. But she waited for a long time ¨C Li Yun Qing didn¡¯t speak and Murong Tai also didn¡¯t pursue the matter. Murong Xin Lian let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that father really didn¡¯t care about Murong Qi Qi! In the end, rubbish was still rubbish and was no use to the family. No wonder father had turned his back on her!
Before Murong Tai could say which side he stood after Li Yun Qing¡¯s words, they heard a cry that could shake the heaven and earth. Two women dressed in flirtatious clothing cried ¡®my child¡¯ one after another and directly charged into Cui Zhu yuan.
¡°Qing er2, howe your face is like this?¡±
Liu Yan Zhi shook her head which was full of gold and silver jewelleries. She put Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face in front of her.
¡°Who has such a ck heart and used such a hard method, wanting to ruin my child¡¯s face?¡±
Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s tearful voice just fell, Zheng Min also began to wail: ¡°Xin er, my Xin er, howe you¡¯re hurt like this? The most important thing of a girl is her looks. Who is it that hates your beauty and wanted to destroy you so viciously?! My pitiful Xin er, ah!¡±
Because these two people came, Cui Zhu yuan became lively. Liu Yan Zhi embraced Murong Qing Lian and came in front of Murong Tai to let him see the traces of whip on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face.
¡°Old master, look at our Qing er, ah. She¡¯s someone who needs to attend the athletic race, ah. Now that she is hurt like this, how could she go see people?!¡±
Liu Yan Zhi was quite a charming woman. Although she had given birth to two children and was already thirty six, but her skin was still soft and tender. Her facial features had apletely seductive appearance. While she was wiping her tears away with a handkerchief, she also looked furiously at Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Old master, if something happen to Qing er, this concubine will also not live anymore!¡±
Seeing Liu Yan Zhi ¡®being the thief, crying thief¡¯, Zheng Min didn¡¯t spare a minute and grabbed Murong Xin Lian to let Murong Tai see the face which had been ruined by a sword.
Compared with Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s grace, Zheng Min¡¯s body gave out a more delicate and charming state. In particr, that pair of watery eyes. Just inducing a little, it would make people¡¯s hearts be in so much pain.
¡°Old master, Xin er is the number one beauty of the capital, ah! How many young masters from the official families have a crush on our Xin er? How many rich legitimate sons want to marry her? But now her looks have been destroyed, how should my pitiful Xin er continue to live, ah?! Old master, you should get justice for us, ah!¡±
Two women plus two unmarried young maidens; four people crying in a circle, really noisy. Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but frown. If she had known that this would¡¯ve lead to the noises of these women, she would not have let the two begin to fight.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s impatience, falling into Li Yun Qing¡¯s eyes had another meaning. It seems that this little cousin sister really had changed......
Two beloved concubines were crying really hard and wanting him to give them justice, making Murong Tai get a headache. The palm of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat. Two daughters, one had outstanding ability and one had outstanding looks. Usually, they didn¡¯t have such a state of hostility towards each other. What had happened today that they turned out like this?!
No matter how much Murong Tai thought, he couldn¡¯t understand the hidden reason plus the women¡¯s cries were really noisy. And Li Yun Qing was still standing with his hands crossed over each other and with an appearance of wanting to watch a good y, making the anger in Murong Tai¡¯s heart immediately rise.
¡°Stop, don¡¯t make any noise! There¡¯s a guest here. Go back to your ownyuans3!¡±
Liu Yan Zhi and Zheng Min were surprised by Murong Tai¡¯s shout. They saw that Murong Tai was really angry.
These two women, who¡¯d followed Murong Tai for so many years, recovered their tempers and wiped their tears. Each one pulled their daughter away and left Cui Zhu yuan.
When Zheng Min left, she nced once with resentment at Murong Tai. In contrast, Liu Yan Zhi, with an appearance of calling innocence for her daughter, casted an affectionate nce at Murong Tai.
¡°Old master, today this concubine personally boiled chicken soup for master. Tonight, old master muste, ah!¡±
If it wasn¡¯t because there were still people next to her, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve certainly held the spittoon and vomited. No wonder Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s status at the prime minister¡¯s was greater than the first wife. Such a woman was really a ¡®rarity¡¯.
After the people had left, Murong Tai looked coldly at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°You stay here well. Just came back and provoked so many happenings! Punishing you with shutting yourself up for one month and thinking about your mistakes! Don¡¯t be a disgrace! Humph......¡±
With a wave of the sleeves, Murong Tai didn¡¯t care that Li Yun Qing was still here, strode away and left Cui Zhu yuan. The direction he went to was Ou Xiang yuan, the ce where Zheng Min lived. At this moment, Murong Tai was most worried about Murong Xin Lian¡¯s looks getting ruined. This daughter was the number one beauty of the capital. Murong Tai was even nning to marry her into the royal family. By that time, he would have two daughter conosrts, who will bring him unlimited glory!
Murong Tai¡¯s hurried appearance made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heartpletely turn cold for this family. It seemed that this Murong Tai really had no feeling for this third daughter! If it wasn¡¯t because she¡¯d promised godfather that she would protect that person, she would have gone traveling through the jianghu4 and wouldn¡¯t be staying here to y the role of the useless third miss!
¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, troubling you to clean up here. The ones that have no use, throw them away and there¡¯s also no need to purchase them again lest they get destroyed again next time and need to be thrown away once again.¡±
Being disturbed by four women, Murong Qi Qi was somewhat tired. She turned and looked at Li Yun Qing. Murong Qi Qi was even too tired to pretend anymore.
¡°Big cousin brother, help yourself. I¡¯m going to make up for my lost sleep!¡±
¡°Not pretending anymore?¡±
Li Yun Qing was surprised my Murong Qi Qi¡¯s magnanimous. The eyes of this girl showed timid just now, at this moment, she iszy as a cat. Only asionally shing some light, revealing her true nature. This was the real her!
¡°Big cousin brother is a smart man. Pretending in front of a smart man, isn¡¯t that really ridiculous?¡±
In this world, there are some people who are lucky. The moment they¡¯re born, they¡¯re superior to others and their wisdom is also unparalleled in the world. No matter how people acted in front of them, they knew what kind of face is hidden under the mask.
Li Yun Qing is such a person. Since he saw through her, she could better openly show herself, lest treated as a clown while she¡¯s still feeling triumphant.
¡°If aunt saw the changes of lityle cousin sister, she would be very happy.¡±
Li Yun Qing smiled. He really didn¡¯t see wrong. This girl has a pair of lively eyes and an appearance of azy cat. Not right, she is as rebellious as a leopard. It seemed that the future will not be so boring!

Chapter 8: A Pair of Snake Mother and Daughter
Chapter 8: A Pair of Snake Mother and Daughter
At Ou Xiang yuan1, Murong Tai was softlyforting Zheng Min who¡¯s full of tears.
¡°All is well, my darling. The moment you cry, old master¡¯s, my heart really hurts!¡±
¡°Old master is prejudiced! See how Xin er¡¯s 2face is hurt! The double seven festival is just around the corner. What will you let Xin er do?! Not long ago, Anyang wangfei 3 praised our Xin er, saying that she is intelligent. Now looking like this, how will Xin er go see people at the double seven festival? Old master, if this time you do not punish Qing er, this concubine will be unhappy!¡±
Double seven festival is the Chinese valentine which fell on the 7th of July of the lunar calendar
Zheng Min saw that Murong Tai came to her first, naturally she was happy.
Although Murong Qing Lian was a talent at martial arts, but women, after all, have to marry. Men wouldn¡¯t like such a strong woman. Since ancient times it was always the hero who saves the beauty. Never had it been the beauty who saves the hero. What kind of joke was that?!
Zheng Min had full confidence in her daughter. Since Murong Xue Lian became Imperial Noble Consort, her daughter Murong Xin Lian¡¯s looks were also not bad. Not to mention that the main wife Li Qiu Shui is now staying at a temple to pray and didn¡¯t ask for the details about the outside world. Naturally, there was no one to stop her daughter¡¯s road to the wealth.
¡°Alright, don¡¯t cry anymore. First, cure Xin er¡¯s face, then we will talk!¡±
Murong Tai took out a small box of creams.
¡°This is Lian gongzi¡¯s 4Jade Lotus cream. I took it back from Xue Lian. First, let Xin Lian use it! Don¡¯t leave scars, otherwise there¡¯ll be trouble!¡±
The moment she heard strange doctor Lian gongzi¡¯s Jade Lotus cream, Zheng Min quickly took it. She opened the box and a pleasant aroma came out.
¡°This is really a good thing!¡±
¡°It is, Xue Lian only got a total of two boxes. Now this box is Xin Lian¡¯s. Let her make her face look good again!¡±
Murong Tai patiently coaxed Zheng Min for a while. Before he went away, he touched her face and then hastily rushed to Lan Xiang yuan, where Liu Yan Zhi lived.
Seeing Murong Tai¡¯s plump body disappear, Zheng Min humphed coldly. She took the Jade Lotus cream and applied it evenly on Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face.
¡°Mother, father still cares more about fourth little sister.¡±
Murong Xin Lian lowered her head. The long eyshes blocked the emotions in her eyes.
¡°Xin er, remember, no matter how much grievances you suffer, be sure to endure. You are smarter than Qing Lian and also more beautiful than her. In the future, you will marry better than her!¡±
Without a son, Zheng Min could only rely on Murong Xin Lian. So, seeing Murong Xin Lian suffer grievances, her heart was also in pain.
¡°Mother, I want to be Jing wangfei! I want to marry Longze Jing Tian!¡±
Hearing Zheng Min mention marriage, Murong Xin Lian suddenly raised her head. Her watery eyes sparkled with a strange light.
¡°Why is it that that rubbish Murong Qi Qi who¡¯s good at nothing can directly marry Jing wang 5 and be wangfei?! I¡¯m not reconciled, mother, I¡¯m really not reconciled. Her status is just nobler than mine, but what capabilities does she have?!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hands clenched into fists.
¡°Mother, today Qing Lian sarcastically told me that I¡¯m from a concubine and in the future, I can only be a concubine. Mother, don¡¯t you know that at that moment I really wanted to kill her! I really hate ah.......
Listening to Murong Xin Lian, Zheng Min¡¯s eyes filled with tears. Without a son, in this household her spine was a lot softer than Liu Yan Zhi. Normally, Li Yan Zhi mocked and ridiculed her and spoke words with thorns. All of that she could forget. Now even Murong Qing Lian was humiliating her darling daughter, making Zheng Min grit her teeth from hate.
¡°Xin er, mother won¡¯t let you suffer grievances anymore. Don¡¯t you want to marry Longze Jing Tian and want to be Jing wangfei? I have a way!¡±
Zhen Min¡¯s word made Murong Xin Lian¡¯s mood immediately turn good. She grabbed Zheng Min¡¯s hand and began to shake it.
¡°Mother, is what you said true? But their marriage has been bestowed by the emperor. What good way do you have to let Jing wang marry me? Daughter absolutely cannot be the small one. Being bullied by that rubbish Murong Qi Qi, I might as well die. Mother, if I can marry Longze Jing Tian and be wangfei, even in my dreams I will wake upughing!¡±
Seeing Murong Xin Lian like this, Zheng Min knew her daughter had really put Longze Jing Tian in her heart.
That wangye was good at martial arts, handsome and besides he might be the crown prince. In the future, he might even be the emperor. Then won¡¯t Murong Xin Lian be the mother of the world, the empress.......
Thinking about Murong Xin Lian¡¯s beautiful future, Zheng Min gritted her teeth and her heart gave birth to a deadly trap. Murong Qi Qi, since you are blocking my daughter¡¯s road to wealth, then don¡¯t me me for being ruthless!
Zheng Min whispered a few words in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ear. Hearing her mother¡¯s words, Murong Xin Lian muzzled a cry.
¡°Mother, is this alright? Will destroying Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation let Jing wangbreak off the engagement? But where would we find a man?¡±
¡°Man, isn¡¯t there one here?!¡±
Zheng Min¡¯s gentle face shed a hint of viciousness.
Isn¡¯t it because Liu Yan Zhi had given birth to the only son of Murong household that she had been so loved by Murong Tai?! She¡¯d also relied on the fact that she had a son to fall back on and acted as if she was superior. Normally, she gave Zheng Min much anger!
If Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s darling son Murong Jun appeared on third miss Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bed, this brother and sister affair, then not only would Murong Qi Qi be ruined but also Murong Jun will be ruined! She¡¯d like to see if by that time Liu Yan Zhi could stillugh!
¡°Mother, this n is really good. One stone killing two birds! That Murong Jun is always looking in secret at daughter, really disgusting. If we can get rid of both of them, then it couldn¡¯t be better!¡±
Murong Xin Lian knew what Zheng Min was thinking, she immediately said good.
Murong Qi Qi, you can go to hell! You actually dare to steal my man. I¡¯ll let you know my power! That year, the fact that you didn¡¯t die was because you were lucky. This time, I want you to feel that living is more painful than death! Take your noble status and go to hell!
That pair of eyes of Murong Xin Lian which looked simr to that of Zheng Min, at this moment, along with her mother, were shing vicious lights. The two of them were like two poisonous snakes. Their mouths revealed cruel smiles.......
At Lan Xiang yuan, Murong Tai didn¡¯t take long before he appeased this pair of mother and daughter.
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s martial arts was higher than Murong Xin Lian¡¯s, which was why she wasn¡¯t as wounded as Murong Xin Lian. She¡¯d just received superficial wounds. Murong Tai promised to give her a treasure sword. So, he recovered his youngest daughter¡¯s heart.
As for Liu Yan Zhi, the best way to appease her was in bed. Murong Tai always believed in fighting at the front of the bed, making up at the end of the bed. So he didn¡¯t say anything more and directly pulled Liu Yan Zhi for a few rounds. When the beauty was lying breathless in his arms, Murong Tai knew that today¡¯s matter had passed like this.
The next few days, the prime minister¡¯s mansion was very quiet. Murong Qi Qi was ¡®honestly¡¯ staying in Cui Zhu yuan to ¡®reflect¡¯. Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian also didn¡¯t go out. They quietly hid in their yuans to recuperate.
Ten dayster, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s Fei Cui appeared at Cui Zhu yuan. She invited Murong Qi Qi to go admire the full moon at Hu Xin pavilion tonight.
¡°Admire the moon? Don¡¯t want to go! I¡¯m still shutting myself up to reflect over my mistakes!¡±
With just moving a toe, you¡¯d know that, that woman had bad intentions. Recently, Murong Qi Qi was really busy. She had no time to apany that little miss at ying schemes, so she directly rejected Fei Cui.

Chapter 9: Punish the Unruly Maid
Chapter 9: Punish the Unruly Maid
¡°Third miss, our second miss personally wrote the invitation for you, you actually dare to put up an ugly arrogance and don¡¯t want to go? If it wasn¡¯t because second miss remembered you, this third miss, do you think that I¡¯d want to make this trip on this hot day?¡±
Fei Cui talked so much but had been directly rejected by Murong Qi Qi, making her lose face. At this time, Fei Cui was so angry that her cheeks had turned red. Her lips poured out a lot of nasty words.
¡°Why don¡¯t you go look at who you are? You really think you are someone important? Speaking frankly, you are just rubbish. You actually dared to show colors.¡±
Originally, Fei Cui was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head maid. Because she looked down on third miss¡¯s ipetence, she went to rely on Murong Xin Lian. Now, she is her confidante. If it wasn¡¯t because she knew that today Murong Qi Qi needed toe, Fei Cui would¡¯ve been toozy to talk so much with this rubbish.
Murong Qi Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at Fei Cui¡¯s mouth. She didn¡¯t even calcte yet with Fei Cui for the things of the past. She didn¡¯t expect that Fei Cui¡¯s attitude had turned for the worst. One after another ¡®rubbish¡¯ing out of her mouth, really made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart grow hairs.
¡°Are you done?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice became very cold. Su Mei and Su Yue, who were familiar with her, understood that this was the foreshadow of miss¡¯s anger.
¡°Yo, I can¡¯t even talk? Who in the capital doesn¡¯t know that Murong third miss can¡¯t practice martial arts? Could it be that you are afraid that people will talk about it, ah?! You¡¯re so dull, that even the people around you have the same stupid look as you!¡±
Fei Cui seemed to have not noticed that the surroundings have turned cold. In the end, she also criticized Su Mei and Su Yue who were standing behind Murong Qi Qi.
With extreme annoyance, Murong Qi Qi coldly said one sentence: ¡°p her mouth!¡±
Not waiting for Fei Cui to hear clearly, Su Mei had already appeared in front of her. ¡®Pa pa¡¯ two ps on her face.
These past few days had bored Su Mei to death. Seeing Fei Cui ¡®bullying¡¯ miss like this, her hands had long itched. So, just as themand left Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, Su Mei rushed forward. The speed was fast. Fei Cui had no time to dodge.
Su Mei was someone who practiced martial arts. The strength of her hand was great. With just two ps, Fei Cui became confused and disoriented. Her eyes were seeing stars and two rows of red blood flew out of her nose.
After Fei Cui came to, she saw the smiling Su Mei and she touched her nose. Her hands were full of warm blood. Fei Cui immediately screamed: ¡°You! You dare to hit me?!¡±
¡°What about it? The one I hit is you, this darn thing!¡±
Su Mei raised her eyes and rolled her wrists.
¡°Thing that doesn¡¯t have eyes. Actually dare to bully our miss. Beating you is already light!¡±
¡°Ah, ah, ah, ah! I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
When had Fei Cui suffered like this? Seeing the maid around Murong Qi Qi being so ¡®arrogant¡¯, fire pounced in her head. With her head bowed, she rushed directly at Su Mei¡¯s chest.
Not waiting for Fei Cui to touch Su Mei, Su Yue at one side stuck out her foot, hit Fei Cui¡¯s chest and directly sent Fei Cui flying out.
¡®Peng......¡¯
Don¡¯t know if it was Su Yue who did it intentionally or if it¡¯s Fei Cui who was unlucky, but when she fell, her head hid the back of the rockery. She immediately felt dizzy. She touched again. Her hand was full of blood. Fei Cui cried and screamed: ¡°Incredible, killing people, ah! Come quickly. Ah! Third miss wants to kill someone, ah!¡±
Because of Fei Cui¡¯s loud voice, not a moment had passed before it attracted a group of people watching. When Murong Xin Lian heard the news, she also hurried over.
¡°Fei Cui, what happened to you?¡±
When she saw Fei Cui¡¯s swollen cheeks and the face full of bloodstains, Murong Xin Lian almost didn¡¯t recognize her. If it wasn¡¯t because she saw Fei Cui¡¯s clothes, Murong Xin Lian wouldn¡¯t have thought that this person with the pig face was actually Fei Cui!
¡°Woo woo woo, second miss, you must seek justice for this ve, ah! This ve came with second miss¡¯s invitation to invite third miss, but third miss didn¡¯t even say something and let them beat this ve. This ve came with good intentions but has been beaten like this. Third miss also said that she wants to kill me. Second miss must save me, ah!¡±
Fei Cui was a person who¡¯s good at reversing the ck and the white. Today, she had suffered at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, no matter what, she couldn¡¯t swallow this anger. Fortunately, Murong Xin Lian was now here, she might as well make the matter big. After all, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation was already very bad, a bit more wouldn¡¯t do it much harm.
Hearing Fei Cui¡¯s words, Murong Xin Lian was full of doubts. Hadn¡¯t Murong Qi Qi always been weak and ipetent? When had her gut turned so big?
But it didn¡¯t look as though Fei Cui was lying and the wound on her face was truly there. It really existed. It seemed that something must have happened.
¡°Third little sister, is what Fei Cui said the truth? Was it really you who hit her? It was I who had told her toe invite you to admire the moon tonight. Even if you didn¡¯t want to go, there¡¯s no need to vent on a maid, ah! What did Fei Cui do so wrong that you had used such a ruthless hand?¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s reputation in Murong fu1 had always been very good. She was beautiful and more approachable than Murong Qing Lian. She didn¡¯t have the arrogance of a miss, so everyone in the fu really liked this second miss.
At this time, hearing Murong Xin Lian say that Murong Qi Qi had hit Fei Cui without any reason, everyone began to whisper. The things they whispered about were all about how bad third miss was.
She was indeed the goddess of pretending, ah! Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but p in her heart. It seemed that Murong Xin Lian was really popr in the fu. Everyone was speaking up for Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Second big sister, the matter is not like that......¡±
Murong Qi Qi opened her mouth and said softly.
¡°It¡¯s Fei Cui who said that I am a rubbish and that I didn¡¯t even deserve to admire the moon with second big sister. She also said that I¡¯m an ugly duckling, second big sister is the white swan. I don¡¯t even deserve to clean second big sister¡¯s shoes!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words left her mouth, Murong Xin Lian froze. She knew very well what kind of person Fei Cui was. These words being said by Fei Cui was somewhat believable. After all, she usually said the same in front of Fei Cui.
¡°She also forced me to give the position of Jing wangfei2 to second big sister. She said that only a beauty like second big sister is worthy to be standing by Jing wang¡¯s side. She also said that you are a match made from heaven, a perfect match. And I am just a rubbish who can¡¯t practice martial arts. I should just disappear early to not hinder your road¡±
Murong Qi Qi sobbed. Her small shoulders shrugged. Coupled with that pair of watery eyes, she seemed particrly delicate and pitiful. The people who¡¯d just now denounced Murong Qi Qi, after hearing that, the way they looked at Murong Xin Lian and Fei cui began to change.
¡°I was thinking that second big sister is usually such a good person, how can such this ve have been taught by you? This is simply a discredit to second big sister reputation. So I couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said a few words to her. But then she pped herself two times and also mmed her head against the stone. Later, it¡¯s what you¡¯ve seen......¡±
¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! The one who hit me is obviously her! Don¡¯t believe her!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ability to turn the truth around was even better than hers, Fei Cui became anxious.
¡°If the p on my face was done by me, how could the fingerprints be like this?! Don¡¯t listen to this rubbish¡¯s nonsense!¡±
1. Fu: residence/household
2. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
Chapter 10: Appointment
Chapter 10: Appointment
Because of Fei Cui¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes were now directed at her face. Seeing that everyone was now believing her, Fei Cui deliberately raised her head to show everyone the fingerprints on her face.
On her pale skin, the red fingerprints could be clearly seen. It¡¯s just that the two thumbs on the fingerprints were pointing down. With one look, you could tell that she had done it herself. At this point, the servants began to believe Murong Qi Qi.
¡°It seems that what third miss had said is the truth! Didn¡¯t think that Fei cui is actually such a person! Third miss is already miserable enough, Fei Cui still framed her like this!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, ah! Could it be that second miss is teaching Fei Cui like this in private? She really wants to be Jing wangfei1? The big sister wants to steal the little sister¡¯s husband, really shameless, ah!¡±
¡°Even in the presence of third miss, she was saying things like that, really too daring!¡±
How could Fei Cui know that when Su Mei pped her, she already used a trick? And at this moment, seeing everyone talk bad about her, Fei Cui could only look at Murong Xin Lian for help.
¡°Miss, it¡¯s really her who beat me!¡±
¡°Fei Cui, kneel!¡±
Everyone¡¯s words also went into Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ears. She didn¡¯t think that Fei Cui was so stupid and nearly ruined her n.
No matter what, just now Fei Cui¡¯s ¡®rubbish¡¯, everyone had heard it. At this time, if she didn¡¯t punish Fei Cui, everyone would think that it was her who was behind all of this and made Fei Cui act so arrogant. For her reputation, she could now only throw away the soldier (pawn) and defend the carriage.
¡°Second miss.......¡±
Fei Cui didn¡¯t know what had happened. Why was there such terrible coldness in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes?
¡°Second miss, I¡¯m innocent!¡±
¡°Kneel down! Apologize to third miss!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s clenched fists were hidden in her sleeves. The nails had pierced her delicate arms. This Fei Cui was really unable to aplish anything but liable to spoil everything.
No matter what had happened today, the image that she¡¯d used so much effort to maintain was now damaged. It seemed that if she wanted to block everyone¡¯s mouth, she must heavily punish Fei Cui.
¡°Third miss, Fei Cui was wrong.......¡±
Knowing that Murong Xin Lian was angry, Fei Cui stiffly knelt in front of Murong Qi Qi. Although she was dissatisfied, but she had to admit that now she¡¯s in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°Asking third miss to forgive this ve!¡±
¡°Fei Cui, knowing that she was wrong, still did that. Punish her with twenty wooden ps and deprive her of half-year sry. Third little sister, what do you think?¡±
In ancient china, while being punished, the guilty one will need to lie down and receive beatings with a thick wooden stick.
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to speak, Murong Xin Lian directly said Fei Cui¡¯s punishment.
Murong Qi Qi looked at this pair of master and servant acting, but she didn¡¯t point it out. Instead she pleaded: ¡°Second big sister, isn¡¯t such a punishment too heavy? On Fei Cui¡¯s body, there are still wounds. Her head is still bleeding. She needs to see a doctor. Moreover, after all, she has followed you for so long. Even if she didn¡¯t make any contributions but she still worked hard......I think, punish with ten wooden ps. The remaining ten wooden ps, remembering it is enough. As for the sry, one month is enough. Second big sister , what do you think?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®plea¡¯ was to everyone¡¯s surprise. They originally thought that third miss would not be lenient and would punish Fei Cui heavily. How would they know that she would open her mouth to plea for Fei Cui?
At this time, the image of third miss immediately rose in everyone¡¯s heart. Twenty wooden ps on a weak girl, even if she was strong enough to ept it, but she would need to lie down for quite a while. And although half a year sry was not much, but to servants it¡¯s a big part of their ie.
¡°Third miss really has a good heart!¡±
¡°Right ah. Fei Cui framed third miss. Third miss didn¡¯t hold grudges. She really has a good heart!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s good brought out Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ¡®viciousness¡¯. The maid who¡¯d followed her so long, with just one word would be beaten. Aparison between the two misses, who is good and who is bad, the servants of the mansion now made a new assessment.
¡°Good, do it ording to little sister has said! When she is back, big sister will surely teach her well!¡±
Now Murong Xin Lian hated Murong Qi Qi to death. The truth was what she said. Now the one who opened her mouth to plead was also her. Murong Xin Lian struggled for so long, in the end, just because of some sentences from Murong Qi Qi, everyone had changed their views and even felt that she, this second miss was harsh.
Endure! Endure! Murong Xin Lian restrained the hate in her heart. She revealed a smile: ¡°Little sister, admiring the moon at the pavilion tonight, you muste, ah! See it as big sister¡¯s apology to you. You must give face, ah!¡±
¡°Good! Thanks big sister, little sister will certainly be on time!¡±
A farce ended with Fei Cui suffering ten wooden ps.
At Ou Xiang yuan2, Fei Cui was lying in bed. She¡¯d just suffered ten wooden ps. Even moving a bit would be very painful.
¡°Miss, this ve, really didn¡¯t say those words. It¡¯s third miss who has framed this ve!¡±
¡°I believe you...¡±
Murong Xin Lian personally rubbed medicine for Fei Cui.
¡°Didn¡¯t see her for five years, third little sister had actually improved. Fei Cui, rest assured. This hate of today, I will surely get it back for you! Just wait and see! Tonight, I¡¯ll let her regret everything she has done today!¡±
Being Murong Xin Lian¡¯s confidante, Fei Cui also knew what she and Zheng Min were nning. Hearing Murong Xin Lian saying that, Fei Cui revealed an ugly smile.
¡°Miss, what you said is right. Endure for the time being. After tonight, making it so that she can¡¯t even cry!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
Fei Cui¡¯s words obviously made Murong Xin Lian happy.
Murong Qi Qi, you wait! After tonight, your reputation will be ruined! The status of Jing wangfei that you were relying on would be a thing of the past. Only I, Murong Xin Lian, am the best candidate to be Jing wangfei. You don¡¯t deserve it!
Night.
Murong Qi Qi went to the pavilion. The pavilion was located at the west side of the prime minister¡¯s mansion. She didn¡¯t even arrive when she heard a burst ofughtering from the pavilion. From the noise, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s voice was the loudest: ¡°Duanmu big sister, is what you said true? Is that demon wang3 really so dreadful?¡±
¡°Of course, it¡¯s true. He is cursed and caused the death of his eight wives! I heard that those women had died miserably. They suddenly died on the wedding night and the blood of their bodies had been drained! Everyone said that it¡¯s demon wang who had sucked the blood of the bride. He needs to marry a bride every year to take the fresh blood to maintain his life......¡±
¡°Ah, really frightening, ah!¡±
Hearing this, the young maidens in the pavilion eximed.
¡°Don¡¯t talk about this anymore. Too scary!¡±
At this time, Murong Xin Lian saw Murong Qi Qi. She immediately greeted her warmly: ¡°Third little sister, you¡¯ve arrived. Why don¡¯t youe here?! Come, everyone is waiting for you!¡±
¡°Greetings to second big sister!¡±
Murong Qi Qi let Murong Xin Lian hold her hands and went into the pavilion.
Aside from Li Yun Qing whom she had already met, the young masters and misses of the four great families were all here. Bai family¡¯s brother and sister, Bai Mu Fei and Bai Yi Yue, Duanmu family¡¯s brother and sister, Duanmu Hong Chen and Duanmu Yi Yi and Shangguan family¡¯s Shangguan Wu Ji. Even Murong fu¡¯s4 only son Murong Jun was here.
It seemed that Murong Xin Lian has a wide range of friends!
During the five years that Murong Qi Qi had been absent, Murong Xin Lian used much effort to befriend the children of the four great families. Who in the capital didn¡¯t know that Murong fu¡¯s second miss was an outstanding beauty?
At this time, Murong Xin Lian was entertaining everyone as though she was Murong fu¡¯s legitimate miss.
¡°Why did you call this ugly duckling here?¡±
Murong Jun strongly disapproved of this little sister. The moment he¡¯d opened his mouth, ¡®ugly duckling¡¯ cursed out.
1. Wangfei: the main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
2. Yuan: part of a residence
3. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
4. Fu: mansion/household
Chapter 11: Miss Duanmu’s Provocation
Chapter 11: Miss Duanmu¡¯s Provocation
Murong Qi Qi pretended like she didn¡¯t hear Murong Jun¡¯s words. She kept up her innocent appearance and lovingly let Murong Xin Lian hold her hand as they walked into the pavilion.
¡°Greetings to big brother!¡±
¡°Humph!¡±
Murong Jun opened his fan and faced the other way in response.
¡°If I had known that we were waiting for her, I might as well have gone to Yi Hong Lou to find my little Tao Hong! What a waste of this young master¡¯s time!¡±
Yi Hong Lou is probably a brothel
Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian were already ustomed to Murong Jun saying such words. This young master was known as the ¡®loafer of the capital¡¯. An expert in the field of romance. He was well versed in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The thing he likes the most was beautiful women. The thing he loves the most was hanging out with women.
Being Murong household only incense burner, Murong Tai indulged this treasure son very much. Whether it was forcingmoner girls or having gambling debts, in the end, Murong Tai would help him clean up.
Incense burner means the only one who can continue with the family line
This was the first time that Murong Qi Qi saw Murong Jun after she had returned. Although Murong Jun had inherited Murong Tai¡¯s handsomeness of when he (MT) was young, the white of his eyes was now yellow. His ck eyes and thin body betrayed the fact that he indulged too much.
¡°Yo, third big sister, your speed is really slow, ah!¡±
Murong Qing Lian skimmed over Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ¡®third big sister¡¯ drew everyone¡¯s eyes to Murong Qi Qi.
About this Murong household third miss, many had only heard her name through rumors and have not seen her in person. After all, Murong Qi Qi stayed away for five years at Jing Xin An and didn¡¯t appear in the capital. So in this circle of young masters and misses, Murong Qi Qi had never appeared. This was her first appearance after she¡¯d returned.
However, ever since Murong Qi Qi had returned to the capital, there were new rumors everywhere in the capital. Now, after seeing the real person, people couldn¡¯t help but look more carefully. They wanted to see how the woman from the rumors looked like.
Her hair was in a simple braid. She was dressed in a light blue dress. On her head, there¡¯s only one pearl flower. In her hair, a mahogany hairpin. Although her looks couldn¡¯t bepared to Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian, but her expression was demure and gentle. Looking at it, it had a fresh and natural taste. It made her defeat these young maidens who had too much jewelry on their bodies.

mahogany hairpin
¡°I say, who is it that has such a big face? So it¡¯s third miss, ah!¡±
Face is here figuratively.
Just at that moment, a cynical voice was suddenly heard. The speaker was Duanmu family¡¯s eldest miss Duanmu Yi Yi.
¡°You must be more honorable than the others. That¡¯s why you let everyone wait for you. Could it be that third miss looks down on us?¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s sharp mouth didn¡¯t spare people. Others clearly understood why she was so against Murong Qi Qi.
This miss Duanmu was a faithful follower of Longze Jing Tian. She had threatened ¡®if she had to marry, she would only marry Jing wangye¡¯1. Now, she had met the future Jing wangfei 2 Murong Qi Qi who was lesser than her in everything, of course Duanmu Yi Yi must give her a blow.
¡°I¡¯m at fault foringte. What do I need to do to quell miss¡¯s resentment?¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words left her mouth, some people who knew the situationughed out loud.
¡®Resentment¡¯, this word described Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s mood very well. Couldn¡¯t be Jing wangfei, of course her heart had resentment. That was why she was making things difficult for Murong Qi Qi. One word ¡®resentment¡¯ described Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s image of a ¡®resenting wife¡¯ very appropriately.
¡°Murong Qi Qi!¡±
Beingughed at, Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s expression immediately turned ashen. From her viewpoint, Murong Qi Qi deliberately said it like that. She (MQQ) was obviously mocking her (DYY).
She, the dignified Duanmu family¡¯s eldest miss, was now being ridiculed by the rubbish Murong Qi Qi, really too embarrassing.
¡°Little cousin sister,e sit here......¡±
Just when Duanmu Yi Yi was about to open her mouth to make things difficult for Murong Qi Qi, Li Yun Qing sitting on a side, raised his cup of wine smilingly at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Making me wait so long for you, should you not punish yourself with three cups of wine?!¡±
Li Yun Qing opening his mouth was to everyone¡¯s surprise. Must know that this Li family¡¯s eldest young master¡¯s eyes were high on his forehead (meaning he looks down on them). Very few people could enter his eyes. At this moment, he was helping Murong Qi Qi. When had their rtionship be so good?
¡°Letting big cousin brother wait, I should be punished!¡±
Knowing that Li Yun Qing was helping her, Murong Qi Qi gave him a thankful smile. She directly picked up the jug of wine and raised her head. Her red lips parted slightly. She tilted the jug. The pure wine slowly fell into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth.
At this moment, the moonlight fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body, casting a dreamy fog on her. Silence surrounded her. Only the sound of the wine going into the mouth could be heard. Beauty and good wine. The original ordinary Murong Qi Qi at this moment gave out a hallucinatory effect, making people unable to do anything but stare in rapture.
¡°Good capacity of liquor!¡±
After Murong Qi Qi put down the jug of wine, Shangguan Wu Ji cheered loudly.
¡°Didn¡¯t expect third miss to be such a good drinker. Simplyparable to a man!¡±
Shangguan family came from a family of generals. Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s was also very forthright. Around him, there was also a masculine and brave aura.
People of the army naturally liked straightforwardness. So Murong Qi Qi, being a girl drinking forthright like this, left a good impression on Shangguan Wu Ji.
Seeing Shangguan Wu Ji praise Murong Qi Qi, Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s expression turned uglier.
¡°So what if she can drink? She is still a rubbish!¡±
Relying on the fact that the current empress Duanmu Qing is her aunt, Duanmu Yi Yi was a bit more arrogant than others.
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s words made Shangguan Wu Ji frown.
¡°Miss Duanmu talking like this in front of people is notdylike.¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji speaking up for her made Murong Qi Qi look at him with new eyes. She is not familiar with Shangguan Wu Ji, but he saw injustice and generously helped her. Such a person was worth bing friends with!
¡°A rubbish or not, testing it won¡¯t we know?!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi didn¡¯t dare to butt heads with Shangguan Wu Ji. Although her aunt is the current empress, but the empress dowager Shangguan Fei Yan is Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s grandfather¡¯s biological little sister.
Even Shangguan Wu Ji had to call her gu nainai3. The empress dowager loved this younger generation of Shangguan family very much. Even the emperor trusted Shangguan family very much.
But not fighting with Shangguan Wu Ji didn¡¯t mean that Duanmu Yi Yi would let Murong Qi Qi off. She picked up a soft persimmon to pinch. In Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi was just a soft persimmon.
Soft persimmon is a Chinese saying for someone who is easy to deal with.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, if you have the skills, thenpete talents with this miss. If you lose then you have to admit that you are rubbish!¡±
¡°Good idea!¡±
Again, it was Li Yun Qing who opened his mouth first to approve.
¡°This idea of miss Duanmu, I¡¯ll be the first one to approve! But onlypeting is too boring. If we bet......¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯s words immediately let the atmosphere rise.
Although Duanmu Yi Yi was spoiled, but she was also a famously talented woman in the capital. She has real ability.
Now Duanmu Yi Yi waspeting talents with the rubbish Murong Qi Qi. Was there even a need topete?! Was the result not clear yet?!
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
3. Gu nainai: grandfather¡¯s sister/ great-aunt
Chapter 12: Pressing Harder with Each Step
Chapter 12: Pressing Harder with Each Step
¡°Little cousin sister, I bet that you¡¯ll win!¡±
Li Yun Qing, who wouldn¡¯t be satisfied if he didn¡¯t startle people once again, threw out these words, making people dizzy.
He took a medal from his body and threw it on the table.
¡°This is the medal of our Li family. Let it be the award of the winner.¡±
¡°Yun Qing, could it be that you¡¯re joking?!¡±
Bai Mu Fei at a side picks up the medal and looked at it for a long time.
¡°Could this be the Long Hu Ling from the legend? I heard that with this medal, you canmand every people of Li family to do anything......¡±
¡°Right, it¡¯s Long Hu Ling.¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know what Long Hu Ling was, but the other three families including Murong family knew the importance this Long Hu Ling had in the Li family.
Li Yun Qing casually bet the Long Hu Ling on Murong Qi Qi. Waht was he plotting?
¡°Little cousin sister, I put the lives of my family on you. If you lose, when I return, I¡¯ll need to kneel at the ancestral shrine.¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯s calm words and his green jade colored clothes made him seem more upright.
He slowly walked to Murong Qi Qi, lowered his head and looked at her. Howe in so many years, he hadn¡¯t noticed that this little cousin sister had a pair of astonishing eyes?
He didn¡¯t know how dazzling this pair of eyes would be under the moonlight.
¡°I¡¯d like to see the appearance of big cousin brother kneeling at the ancestral shrine.¡±
Murong Qi Qi already understood this big cousin brother¡¯s character. He was someone who liked to watch and wasn¡¯t afraid that his back would get hurt. At this moment, he pushed her into the limelight while he was sitting at a side, watching a y! This guy absolutely did it intentionally!
¡°Haha ha......¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Li Yun Qingughed out loud. Because of hisughter, the hairs on his shoulder flew.
¡°Hearing little cousin sister say this, I know that I won the bet!¡±
A handsome man was a handsome man. Every gesture, every smile or angriness; all were like a painting.
¡°Demon girl!¡±
This time, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t see the coldness in Li Yun Qing¡¯s smiling eyes, instead she saw a touch of gentleness. Could it be that she saw wrong?
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to understand the reason. Li Yun Qing went back and continued to sit leisurely as if he was certain that Murong Qi Qi will win over Duanmu Yi Yi.
¡°I¡¯ve always believed in Yun Qing¡¯s eyes......¡±
Bai Mu Fei pulled down the jade ring on his thumb.
¡°Third miss, if you lose, when I return, I¡¯ll have the same fate as brother Li, ah! Hoping that third miss will work hard!¡±
Bai Mu Fei¡¯s ring also let people be startled. Everyone knew that among the four great families, Bai family was the richest in the capital. Now every business was taken care of by this eldest young master. This jade ring was also his keepsake.
¡°Since big brother thinks that third miss will win, I¡¯ll also bet.¡±
Bai Yi Yue pulled out a golden buyao1.
tumblr_noefsea94a1u796z6o1_500
buyao
¡°This is Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s 2newest hairpin design Bu Bu Shang Lian. Third miss, add oil!¡±
Add oil is a Chinese saying for do your best
Duanmu Yi Yi never thought that Li family and Bai family would bet on Murong Qi Qi. This was really bullying people too much! Which one of the three things they bet wasn¡¯t a treasure? Bai Yi Yue¡¯s ¡®Bu Bu Sheng Lian¡¯ was Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s work. You couldn¡¯t even buy it money.
Guang Hua gongzi just put out a few jewelries throughout the year. Every single one was one of a kind. The moment it came out, it was sold. Even the consorts in the pce took pride at having Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s jewelries.
Duanmu Yi Yi had wished for this ¡®Bu Bu Sheng Lian¡¯ for a long time. For a girl, having jewelry from Guang Hua gongzi would be the happiest thing.
¡°Humph! You all have full confidence in her. When the timees, don¡¯t regret!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi gritted her teeth. She couldn¡¯t believe it. Where was Murong Qi Qi better than her and could get Li family and Bai family¡¯s affection?!
Right! Bai Mu Fei and Li Yun Qing have a good rtionship. It must definitely be because of Li Yun Qing¡¯s face that they stood at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. It must be like that!
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s words once again let Shangguan Wu Ji frown. He silently put a ck dagger on the table.
¡°I bet that third miss will win!¡±
Compared to the three others, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s dagger didn¡¯t seem significant, but Murong Qi Qi thought that the thing Shangguan Wu Ji carried on his body must be a treasure.
She picked up the dagger and pulled it out,
¡®Ceng......¡¯
A light shone, making everyone unable to open their eyes.
¡°Good dagger,¡± Murong Qi Qi said softly.
Although this dagger looked normal, the body was ck. Lying on the floor, it would only be seen as an unusual dagger. But Murong Qi Qi who was familiar with a variety of weapons, knew that this was the ¡®cutting iron like flesh¡¯ treasure.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi liked it, Shangguan Wu Ji felt like he had found one of his kind.
She was obviously a physically weak girl, but the focused look she had when holding the dagger, gave birth to a strange feeling in Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart.
¡°It¡¯s good that third miss likes it!¡±
¡°Young master Shangguan, if I win, would this dagger really be mine?¡±
Murong Qi Qi had always liked daggers. It was easy to carry and this dagger was a rare treasure. She held it in her hand and didn¡¯t want to put it down.
¡°Of course!¡±
¡°Good! For this word, today this miss will risk my life!¡±
Murong Qi Qi loved the dagger so much that she didn¡¯t want to put it down. Although in the eyes of others, Li family and Bai family¡¯s bets have the most luring power, but in her eyes, this dagger was her favorite.
¡°Third big sister, even boasting should have some ability!¡±
Murong Qing Lian had also set her eyes on this dagger. Thinking that this dagger would simply be ruined in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands, Murong Qing Lian directly bet on Duanmu Yi Yi. If Duanmu Yi Yi wins, she could ask for the dagger!
¡°I bet on miss Duanmu!¡±
Murong Xin Lian also bet on Duanmu Yi Yi. No need to say of Murong Jun. He had always looked down on Murong Qi Qi plus the fact that Duanmu Yi Yi was a beautifuldy, so, naturally he needed to please the beauty.
The remaining Duanmu Hong Chen, after looked once more at his little sister and Murong Qi Qi, smiled apologetically at Murong Qi Qi. He put a jade in front of Duanmu Yi Yi.
¡°Sorry, third miss.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
Brothers and sisters should help each other. Besides, Murong Qi Qi felt that she didn¡¯t have a deep friendship with Duanmu Hong Chen that was worthy for him to abandon his little sister and bet on her.
After it was settled, each side had the same number of people, but the bets on Murong Qi Qi side were obviously more expensive, making Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s heart imbnced.
The four great families¡¯ rtionship wasn¡¯t bad, but the other three families seemed like today they had drunk the wrong medicine by betting their treasures on Murong Qi Qi. How could Duanmu Yi Yi not be angry?
¡°Murong Qi Qi, what do you want? This is our bet; you also need to bet something! But looking at your poor appearance, you won¡¯t be able to pull out any treasure.¡±
Gritting her teeth, Duanmu Yi Yi removed the egg-sized East Sea pearls on her skirt.
¡°If you win, these pearls will be yours. If you lose......¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi swept over the calmke and smiled viciously. Slender fingers pointed at the sparklingke.
¡°I want you to jump into theke!¡±

Chapter 13: A Glance at the Mundane World
Chapter 13: A nce at the Mundane World
Duanmu Yi Yi was unwilling to spare Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi finally got annoyed. She had already tolerated for a long time. This woman still wanted to force her, then she also didn¡¯t want to hold in any longer.
¡°Good!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took out a box and opened it. She put it in front of everyone. Inside the boxid a pill, white-like jade filled with excellent fragrance.
¡°This is Xue Fu pill. If I lose, it¡¯s yours. If I win, you also have to jump in theke!¡±
¡°Xue Fu pill?¡±
Originally, they thought that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any treasures. They didn¡¯t expect that she would actually take out Lian gongzi¡¯s 1 ¡°Xue Fu pill¡±, making the way everyone looked at her immediately change.
Xue Fu pill was a first-ss beauty product that improved one¡¯s appearance and maintained a youthful appearance, and it was made by strange doctor Liangongzi. The rumors say that with just one pill, you could maintain a youthful look. The face would not get old. Why did Murong Qi Qi have this?
¡°You say it¡¯s Xue Fu pill, is it really? Who knows if you didn¡¯t just take out some rubbish for show......¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi hadn¡¯t finished talking when Bai Mu Fei picked up the box. After carefully looking at it, Bai Mu Fei announced the result: ¡°It really is Xue Fu pill! Third miss is really generous!¡±
Everyone knew that Bai Mu Fei¡¯s ¡®poisonous eyes¡¯ are very powerful. If he said that this was ¡®Xue Fu pill¡¯, the others would no longer object.
Why did Murong Qi Qi have Xue Fu pill? Did she know strange doctor Liangongzi?
At this moment, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart felt like it had spilled a bottle of vors. The taste was really strange. She wanted to watch a y. Watch Duanmu Yi Yi humiliate Murong Qi Qi. But now, although she didn¡¯t know why, Murong Xin Lian was actually somewhat worried.
The surprises that Murong Qi Qi had given Murong Xin Lian were already too many. Was she really the delicate Murong Qi Qi from this afternoon?
Duanmu Yi Yi stared at ¡®Xue Fu pill¡¯. Her eyes were shining. If she won against Murong Qi Qi and got this treasure, she would surely give it to her aunt Duanmu Qing. There were no women who didn¡¯t love beauty, not to mention the mistress of the harem. Didn¡¯t Murong Xue Lian rely on a fox face to get the emperor¡¯s favor and be Imperial Noble Consort?!
In chinese myth foxes are very beautiful in human form
When she gives the Xue Fu pill, aunt would certainly be overjoyed and would reward her. Then she can mention Longze Jing Tian. Jing wangfei2, that ce was hers, Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s! She would surely not lose to Murong Qi Qi, this rubbish!
¡°Murong Qi Qi, you don¡¯t know martial arts, I will notpete with you on that as to not have an unfair advantage. Today, this miss willpete with you on qin skills! And also while ying, we need to sing!¡±
Qin: Chinese zither. Guqin is a seven stringed zither
Although Duanmu Yi Yi said it very dignified, who didn¡¯t know that she was an expert at ying the zither? At ying zither, even the number one beauty of the capital Murong Xin Lian would lose. Besides, Duanmu Yi Yi had a moving voice like the birds. Competing like this, it was obvious that she was bullying Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Duanmu Yi Yi, suchpetition is really unfair.¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji once again couldn¡¯t help but protect Murong Qi Qi. He couldn¡¯t take Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s arrogant appearance. Murong Qi Qi obviously didn¡¯t do anything, why was Duanmu Yi Yi making things difficult for her?
¡°Shangguan Wu Ji, this is my and her bet. It¡¯s none of your business! Murong Qi Qi, if you know your ce, then obediently admit defeat and jump in theke yourself. There might be a hero who rescues the beauty......¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s eyes swept once over Murong Qi Qi. The mocking in her eyes was really obvious.
¡°Miss Duanmu, I think your ears definitely have some problems. When did I say that I¡¯ll lose?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s originally gentle face turned calm. Shangguan Wu Ji protected her several times, she already saw him as a friend. Now Duanmu Yi Yi was even mocking Shangguan Wu Ji. This made Murong Qi Qi furious.
¡°Instead of mocking me, you might as well think how to win against me. If today, miss Duanmu loses to this rubbish, then I¡¯m afraid that your face will get lost till your grandma¡¯s home......¡±
Murong Qi Qi humphed once. The elegance was exposed in her eyes, covering Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s limelight.
¡°You!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi had been turned speechless by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Servants, bring my guqin here!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s instrument was the guqin. It¡¯s the famous ¡®Bi Lan Qin¡¯. It seemed that this miss had already came prepared. In this regard, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t care. She let someone bring out a liuqin4 and tried the tones.
guqin
guqin
liuqin
liuqin
quzheng
quzheng
Seeing the liuqin in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s embrace, Duanmu Yi Yi scoffed. Liuqin wass mostly used bymoners. Nobledies learned the high up guzheng5 orguqin. Where did people y that thing? Just from this, Duanmu Yi Yi already felt that she had won.
But even so, Duanmu Yi Yi was still very cautious. She knew that she could not lose today. In thispetition, you must know yourself and know your enemy. That¡¯s why she went to one side and let Murong Qi Qi y first.
¡°Are you sure?¡±
Knowing Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s little n, Murong Qi Qi felt very disdainful. Holding the liuqin, she sat down on the edge of a stone in the pavilion. Jade-like fingers plucked at the strings. The song poured from the fingers.
Цºì³¾: a nce at the mundane world. Literal meaning: Laughing at a secr world. It¡¯s a famous song from the film Swordsman 2
¡°The mundane world is ridiculous,
the love affair is meaningless,
so let¡¯s just be arrogant and supercilious.
Life hasn¡¯t ended, mind has already cleared,
and all I want is to be free and unfettered.
Put up a smiley face when I¡¯m awake, dump away all worries when I¡¯m asleep.
This nightfall came just too early. Afterlife is unpredictable, love and hatred are untraceable.
Get me a drink and I¡¯ll start a tune and I¡¯ll sing alone and I¡¯ll get old but I¡¯ll be bold......¡±
¡°I won¡¯t run away though the wind is chill.
I won¡¯t desire more though the flower is pretty,
so let it be and leave me alone.
The higher the sky the narrower the minds and we never ask why,
so let it be and leave me drunk. I¡¯m crying today but I¡¯llugh tomorrow.
This is hard to exin and you don¡¯t know why I¡¯m so proud.
I¡¯m singing now and I¡¯ll dance more. Days and nights and I¡¯ll keep looking for happiness......¡±
Under the moonlight, Murong Qi Qi exuded confidence which attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The smile that was like a flower on the confident girl was so beautiful, it made people ignore her ordinary looks and every ¡®scandal¡¯ about her.
¡°Such confidence......¡±
Li Yun Qing looked at Murong Qi Qi with narrowed eyes. Some ce in his heart had been touched by her singing. Was this the real you? So proud, so confident, so satisfied......so it turned out what you wanted were these......
Beside Li Yun Qing, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s eyes were also firmly locked on Murong Qi Qi.
That was right, she was not the most beautiful, but she was the most enchanting!
A smile, a frown, magnificent style unmatched in this generation. Shangguan Wu Ji had never known that women could also have such aspiration and passion, making people unable to do anything but chase after her! Unfortunately......such a wonderful woman was already engaged and would soon marry another. Thinking till here, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s eyes darkened.
Everyone was attracted by Murong Qi Qi sitting on a stone and singing confidently with ease. No one noticed a pair of deep eyes hidden in the dark, which were already locked on Murong Qi Qi. ring at her like she was his prey. The treasure he had been looking for, had actually appeared in Murongfu3, making this pair of eyes immediately brighten up.
How could this be?
Duanmu Yi Yi looked in shock at Murong Qi Qi. She (MQQ) was so elegant, so free and so easy. Even she (DYY) herself couldn¡¯t learn it. What to do now?! What to do now?! Duanmu Yi Yi grabbed her sleeves. Just from the expression on everyone¡¯s faces, she knew that Murong Qi Qi had won. She hadn¡¯tpeted yet, but she has alreadypletely lost.
At the end, Murong Qi Qi sighed gently. She lowered her head and smiled at everyone.
¡°How was it? Was it enjoyable to the ears?¡±

Chapter 14: A Flying Kick
¡®Pa pa pa¡¯
Bai Mu Fei was the first one to p.
¡°Far more than only enjoyable to the ears. It was just like the sounds of nature. Good lyrics, good music, good voice, good zither skills. It was worthing to the prime minister¡¯s residence today!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood on the rock and jumped down. Her dress fluttered like a fairy and shended in front of Duanmu Yi Yi.
¡°Miss Duanmu, it¡¯s your turn!¡±
¡°I......¡±
Didn¡¯t know why, but Duanmu Yi Yi felt that it seemed as though Murong Qi Qi had changed into another person. The light exuding from her (MQQ) body was so dazzling, making her (DYY) heart feel timid.
Can¡¯t lose! Duanmu Yi Yi gritted her teeth and sat in front of the guqin. Her hands stroked the strings, but her fingers slightly trembled.
Originally, she was thinking that after Murong Qi Qi yed a song, she would know the ability of the other party and pick a good song to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. She didn¡¯t expect Murong Qi Qi to be so good. If she lost to this rubbish Murong Qi Qi, how would she be able face people in the future!
¡®Beng......¡¯
A shrill sound sounded. Duanmu Yi Yi paled. Her lips also began to quiver.
¡°You lost!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked coldly at Duanmu Yi Yi. ying the zither and actually made a broken sound. Anyone who heard this would say that she had lost.
¡°Thiske, are you going to jump on your own or do I need to give you a ride?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression didn¡¯t seem like she is joking. Duanmu Yi Yi knew she had lost, but she never expected that Murong Qi Qi would mention the bet at this moment. Making her the dignified Duanmu family¡¯s miss jump in theke, she might as well kill her!
¡°Big brother......¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi looked pitifully at Duanmu Hong Chen. If today she really jumped into theke, how could she continue to live in the future?!
¡°Ay......¡±
Seeing his little sister¡¯s pitiful expression, Duanmu Hong Chen sighed. Although today Duanmu Yi Yi was really too much, but making him see his little sister jump into theke, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do it.
¡°Third miss, can you give me some face and spare her?¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen thought that because of his identity, no matter what Murong Qi Qi would concede. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would say such a sentence: ¡°Are we very familiar with each other? Who do you think you are? If you can¡¯t afford to gamble, then don¡¯t y!¡±
¡°Eh......¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen¡¯s face stiffened. He being the young master of Duanmu family, when had his face ever been swept like this?
A handsome face, because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, had twisted like rope.
¡°What do I need to do for third miss to let my little sister go?¡±
¡°Let go?¡±
Murong Qi Qi acted as though she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
¡°If the one who had lost today was me, would she have let me go? Would young master Duanmu plead for me?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s questioning made Duanmu Hong Chen speechless. Indeed, if it had been Murong Qi Qi who had lost, ording to Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s unwillingness-to-forgive personality, she would absolutely not let it go. She would have certainly made Murong Qi Qi jump into theke. This matter, after all, was Duanmu Yi Yi who had provoked it......
¡°Qi Qi, it was just a joke, is it necessary to be so serious?!¡±
The silent Murong Jun, at this time, put out a posture of big brother.
¡°This matter should be forgotten like this! You won. All the things are yours. What more do you want?¡±
Murong Jun¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qi sneer: ¡°Big brother, you finally open your mouth to speak. It was just, you saying this, I would think your surname is Duanmu! When other people suffer, there would immediately be a big brother who protected her. I get bullied, I don¡¯t see you, big brothere out, ah?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sarcasm made Murong Jun¡¯s expression immediately turn ck.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, don¡¯t go overboard! Who do you think you are?! You are just a rub......¡±
He didn¡¯t finish the word ¡®rubbish¡¯. A green light shed. A wisp of ck hair near Murong Jun¡¯s ear fell down. Looking again, the thing that cut Murong Jun¡¯s hair was actually a thin leaf. The one who shot it was Li Yun Qing.
¡°Li Yun Qing, what are you doing?!¡±
Murong Jun jumped up. Fortunately, that leaf only cut his hair. If it was a little closer, his carotid artery would have been severed.
Li Yun Qing didn¡¯t bother with Murong Jun. Instead, he smiled at Murong Qi Qi. Because of this smile, his handsome features became more charming.
¡°Just now, didn¡¯t little cousin sisterin that there is no big brother who protects you? From today onwards, I¡¯ll protect you, good?¡±
Li Yun Qing offering a helping hand was outside of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expectation. The thing this big cousin brother liked the most was watching a y. Now he is offering her a helping hand and also making a promise, which made Murong Qi Qi be really surprised. He would protect her? Did this mean that in the future, if anyone wants to bully her, they need to see if Li Yun Qing would agree or not?
Having such a big tree to rely on, Murong Qi Qi is naturally willing.
¡°Big cousin brother, you must honor your promise. If in the future someone wants to bully me, I¡¯ll directly put out your name!¡±
¡°Of course.¡±
¡°Then, if I do anything, or if something happened and I did wrong, there¡¯s big cousin brother to carry the me?¡±
¡°No problem......¡±
Li Yun Qing hadn¡¯t even finished speaking when Murong Qi Qi moved her body behind Duanmu Yi Yi. She raised a foot and kicked her into theke.
¡®Putong......¡¯
Duanmu Yi Yi fell in and made a huge spray of water. All of this happened so fast, making people unable to stop it. When everyone came out from the daze, Duanmu Yi Yi had already thumped straight into the water. While struggling, she shouted ¡®help¡¯.
¡°You!¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen red once angrily at Murong Qi Qi. He jumped into the water and pulled Duanmu Yi Yi out.
¡°You, ah....¡±
Li Yun Qing totally didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi had said so much so she could use such a ¡®kick¡¯ in the end. But since he put her under him, naturally he would protect her. Presumably, Murong Qi Qi wanted to do that, that¡¯s why she had deliberately acted like that.
¡°Little demon girl!¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯s voice had a taste of indulgence in it.
¡°Ah! Murong Qi Qi, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
Being Duanmu family¡¯s eldest miss, when had Duanmu Yi Yi received such humiliation like today? She didn¡¯t care about the fact that her whole body was dripping water, she pulled out the sword from Duanmu Hong Chen¡¯s waist and directly stabbed it in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s direction.
¡°You bitch! Go die!¡±
¡°Be careful!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji shouted, but he was too far away from Murong Qi Qi and had no time to approach her.
¡°Help, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi grabbed the dagger of Shangguan Wu Ji in ¡®panic¡¯. She closed her eyes, screamed and didn¡¯t dare to look at Duanmu Yi Yi.
Seeing that Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s sword was about to pierce Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chest, she (MQQ) moved slightly. The sword brushed past her body. The wrist of the hand of Duanmu Yi Yi holding the sword happened to touch the dagger.
¡®Kuang....¡¯
Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s wrist felt pain, the sword fell on the ground. On her wrist, there¡¯s immediately a bright red color.
¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Big cousin brother, save me, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi screamed and jumped behind Li Yun Qing.
Duanmu Yi Yi held her wrist and screamed: ¡°My hand.......¡±
¡°Little sister!¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen immediately went forward to inspect and found that Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s tendons on her right wrist had been neatly cut by the dagger. Red blood was flowing out. If this right wrist was not treated immediately, he was afraid that in the future, it could no longer be lifted, let alone y the zither or hold a sword.
¡°Little sister, endure!¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen red fiercely once again at Murong Qi Qi. He picked up Duanmu Yi Yi and flew out of the pavilion.
¡°Third big sister, you¡¯re in trouble!¡±
At one side, Murong Qing Lian smirked while taking joy in the misfortune of others.
¡°You actually cut miss Duanmu¡¯s tendons. This time, you are in big trouble! Duanmu family will certainly not let you off easily!¡±
Chapter 15: Beating Someone at Their Own Game
Chapter 15: Beating Someone at Their Own Game
¡°I, I didn¡¯t do anything......¡±
Murong Qi Qi seemed to have been frightened by Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words. Her eyes filled with ayer of water.
¡°She rushed over herself, I don¡¯t know why it be like this......¡±
What happened just now, everyone understood clearly. When Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s sword whooshed over, Murong Qi Qi actually didn¡¯t do anything, but why did it be Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s wrist being cut by a dagger? Have to say that this was to seed by mistake. It could only be said that this Murong Qi Qi is really lucky!
It¡¯s just, was that really only luck? In Li Yun Qing¡¯s eyes rose a touch of interest. It seems that this little cousin sister was like a huge treasure. The closer you get, the more surprised you¡¯ll be.
¡°Third miss, what happened just now, we saw it clearly. It has nothing to do with you. It was just an ident!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi scared like that, Shangguan Wu Ji quickly opened his mouth to appease her.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if they investigate it, I¡¯ll testify for you!¡±
¡°Young master Shangguan, thank you!¡±
¡°Third little sister, drink a cup of wine to calm your nerves!¡±
Murong Xin Lian poured wine and handed it over to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°We were looking; it was not your fault. You don¡¯t need to worry too much. Daddy is also a reasonable person!¡±
¡°Thank you, second big sister!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took over the ss of wine and brought it to her mouth. The moment it went into her mouth, she discovered the problem.
Ah, she (MXL) actually put drug inside! She (MQQ) knew that today won¡¯t end so easily. She (MQQ) waited for so long, Murong Xin Lian finally couldn¡¯t wait anymore and took action. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thickshed shed slightly and calmly drank the wine.
She has been thrown in the poison spring by godfather to soak for two years. She was simply immune to it such child¡¯s y. But since Murong Xin Lian was determined to trap her, why not beat her at her own game?!
Not long after, Murong Qi Qi pressed her head with an appearance of having headache.
¡°I feel a bit unwell. You continue to y. I¡¯ll go back.¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, Murong Xin Lian knows that the drug has taken action. She restrained the delight in her heart and put on a worried look.
¡°Why didn¡¯t your maide with you? I¡¯ll let someone escort you! Ma Nao, bring third miss back to Cui Zhu yuan1!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
A pretty girl immediately appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi and supported her.
¡°Third miss, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Wait!¡±
Murong Qi Qi retracted her hand. Murong Xin Lian paled. Could it be that she discovered something?
¡°I have some things I didn¡¯t take!¡±
Murong Qi Qi walked to the table and put everyone¡¯s bet in her embrace. Then she picked up ¡®Xue Fu pill¡¯ and handed it to Shangguan Wu Ji.
¡°I¡¯ve never met young master, but young master protected me. Take this Xue Fu pill as my thanks. Asking young master Shangguan to please take it!¡±
Not waiting for Shangguan Wu Ji to reject, Murong Qi Qi stuffed the Xue Fu pill in his hands. Then she bowed gracefully at Bai Mu Fei and Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Your kindness, Qi Qi will pay this gratitude in the future!¡±
Once these are done, Murong Qi Qi once again pressed her temples and made an expression of pain.
¡°Ma Nao, bring me back!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi left with Ma Nao, Murong Xin Lian let out a sigh of relief. Her expression also softened.
Just now, Murong Jun had eaten something bad. He already went back. The things were going ording to her expectations. In a moment, the drug on Murong Jun will take action. As long as Ma Nao led Murong Qi Qi to Murong Jun, firewood would encounter fire and would immediately burn.
At this side Ma Nao was supporting the dizzy Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Third miss, third miss!¡±
Calling twice and didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi respond, Ma Nao went ording to the n. She supported Murong Qi Qi to a room and left in a hurry.
After Ma Nao left, Murong Qi Qi opened her eyes.
¡°Miss!¡±
Su Mei appeared.
¡°Did you found out?¡±
She swept away her demeanor of just now. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes gleamed in the dark.
¡°Yes!¡±
Su Mei whispered some words in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile became wider and wider. Sure enough, dogs who bite people don¡¯t bark. Murong Xin Lian was such a person. She wanted to destroy her reputation. She could even do such a wicked thing!
¡°This subordinate already brought concubine Zheng here. Miss, do you want to move and left the bed for her?¡±
Su Yue appeared at the door. Sure enough on her back she is carrying a woman.
After Su Mei and Su Yue put down Zheng Min, the three left. Not long after they have left, Ma Nao walked in the room while supporting another person.
¡°It¡¯s really hot! Really hot!¡±
Murong Jun torn his clothes and climbed in the bed. Then he touched a soft body.
¡°Young master, this is second miss¡¯s gift for you. Enjoy it!¡±
Ma Nao dropped the curtain for the two, sneered and left.
¡°Excitement will soon be yed!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled. If she hadn¡¯t guessed wrong, not long after, Murong Xin Lian will bring people to catch ¡®a couple in act¡¯. If this matter was spread out, not only would she not be able to live, she was afraid that even Murong Jun will be destroyed by this.
At the pavilion, after Murong Xin Lin saw Ma Nao did her heart finally calmed down. The smile on her mouth became wider and wider.
¡°Second big sister, is there something that needs to be happy about, that you are so happy?¡±
Murong Qing Lian felt Murong Xin Lian¡¯s strangeness and asked curiously.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
Murong Xin Lian quickly denied while shaking her head. She quickly covered her guilty conscience. Murong Xin Lian stood up and poured wine for the others.
¡°Today I invited you here. I didn¡¯t know that so many things will happen and ruined everyone¡¯s mood. I¡¯m really sorry. I apologize to everyone with this cup of wine!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Xin Lian to drink the wine, rapid footsteps could be heard together with Murong Tai¡¯s angry growl: ¡°Where¡¯s that unfillial daughter? Murong Qi Qi, roll out here!¡±
It turned out that in just a moment, Duanmu family reported the matter of Murong Qi Qi hurting Duanmu Yi Yi to Murong Tai. The moment he heard that the rubbish of his family had hurt the empress¡¯s niece and the fact that Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s wrist had been broken and it¡¯ll be difficult to put it back together, Murong Tai¡¯s anger was as high as the sky.
¡°Daddy!¡±
The moment Murong Xin Lian saw that Murong Tai hase, her heart became happy.
Really great! With Murong Tai here, Murong Qi Qi would definitely die today! The Murong Tai who always cared about face, if he saw Murong Qi Qi in act together with her biological big brother, didn¡¯t know if he would or would not kill her on spot!
Seeing that people of the three great families are still here, Murong Tai¡¯s expression turned for the better, but his heart was still very angry.
¡°Where is Murong Qi Qi?¡±
¡°Third big sister is feeling unwell, she already went back.¡±
Murong Qing Lian immediately reported in a well behaved posture the whereabouts of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Humph! She is feeling unwell? Causing trouble and then pretending to be sick. She still has reasons!¡±
Seeing that Murong Tai wanted to leave. She knew that he is going to make trouble for Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qing Lian rushed to his side.
¡°Daddy, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±
Watching a y, especially watching that rubbish being scolded, to Murong Qing Lian that was her happiest enjoyment.
Chapter 16: Unexpected Result
Chapter 16: Unexpected Result
Look and look, the more people the better!
Murong Xin Lian once against exposed a strange smile.
¡°Dad, third little sister didn¡¯t do it on purpose. It was miss Duanmu who has gone too far......¡±
¡°Second big sister, no matter if third big sister did it on purpose or not, the truth is that she wounded miss Duanmu. If the empress wants to investigate, one ¡®not on purpose¡¯ is not enough to pass the responsibilities!¡±
Seeing Murong Xin Lian plead for Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qing Lian rolled her eyes.
It seemed that in this family no matter old or young have no ce for Murong Qi Qi, ah!
Hearing Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words, Shangguan Wu Ji couldn¡¯t help but feel heartache for Murong Qi Qi. Living in such a family, being calcted by her sisters and also being disgusted by her own father, he really didn¡¯t know how she survived all these years.
¡°Prime minister, the matter that happened just now, third miss really didn¡¯t do it intentionally. It was miss Duanmu who bullied her first. Asking prime minister to not me third miss too much.¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji speaking up for Murong Qi Qi was outside of Murong Tai¡¯s expectation.
At this time, Bai Mu Fei and Bai Yi Yue also stood out: ¡°It was really an ident. It has nothing to do with third miss. Prime minister, don¡¯t make things too difficult for third miss.¡±
One Shangguan Wu Ji already let Murong Tai be surprised. Now even Bai family¡¯s young master and miss were pleading, made Murong Tai even more surprised. When has Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship with people be so good? Two great family are speaking up for her? Could there really be an ulterior motive in this?
¡°Uncle, we are all witnesses in this matter. Even if Duanmu family get this matter in front of the empress, we will also testify for little cousin sister. Uncle doesn¡¯t need to worry.¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯sst words, gave Murong Tai reassurance. Since there were so many people willing to testify, then he didn¡¯t need to worry about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s matter.
Seeing others speak up for Murong Qi Qi and Murong Tai seemed to have dispelled the idea of going to look for Murong Qi Qi, Murong Xin Lian became anxious: ¡°Daddy, just now third little sister was somewhat unwell. Why don¡¯t we go see her?! Don¡¯t know if she got sick or not!¡±
¡°Even if she dies, she deserves it!¡±
After Murong Tai threw out this sentence. Li Yun Qing¡¯s and Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s expression immediately changed.
Seemed to have realized that his words are too fickle, Murong Tai immediately pulled out a smile. Even if this daughter wasn¡¯t much in his heart, but now there are outsiders. He couldn¡¯t leave a bad impression.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go see her! Really troublesome!¡±
¡°Second big sister, let¡¯s also go!¡±
Murong Qing Lian was really happy. It has been a long time since a thing in the mansion made her happy. Although before she and Murong Xin Lian had some unpleasant things, but bullying Murong Qi Qi this rubbish was her greatest pleasure.
¡°Let¡¯s also go......,¡± Shangguan Wu Ji suggested to the others. He is very worried about Murong Qi Qi. Thinking back the Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression with her tearful eyes and at this moment seeing the people of Murong fu 1 treating Murong Qi Qi like this, Shangguan Wu Ji felt a pumping pain in his heart.
¡°Big brother, I also want to go see third miss.¡±
At this time, Bai Yi Yue was also very worried about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s situation. Although she hadn¡¯te much in contact with her (MQQ), but she liked this third miss from her heart. Now seeing her situation in the prime minister¡¯s mansion, Bai Yi Yue really pitied Murong Qi Qi.
With the two¡¯s suggestion, Bai Mu Fei and Li Yun Qing also nodded. They followed Murong Tai.
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s mood was now very good. The more people, the better. She was worried about that this matter won¡¯t get big. The three great families¡¯ young masters and miss saw Murong fu¡¯s third miss scandal with their own eyes, tomorrow this will spread through all the streets of the capital. Haha ha! Murong Qi Qi, this time, you¡¯re dead!
Everything was carried out ording to Murong Xin Lian¡¯s n. The closer they get to the room she arranged, the smile on Murong Xin Lian would be bigger. She seemed to have seen the position of Jing wangfei2 waving at her. She even saw Longze Jing Tian smiling gently at her.......
¡®Dong......¡¯
Upon hearing this, blood went to Murong Tai¡¯s head. He kicked the door open. Without a word, he rushed to the bed and teared the curtain. When he saw Zheng Min¡¯s expression of being in the seventh heaven, hot blood went in Murong Tai¡¯s head.
¡°Slut! You dare to put a green hat on me!¡±
Green hat means your wife is cheating on you in china that¡¯s why you won¡¯t see people in particr men wear green hats in china. The story that I found on the inte is about Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty enacted aw, which required men who worked in the prostitution trade to wear green hats. Later, it becamemon to say about man whose wife had an affair, that she made her husband wear a green hat.
¡®Pa......¡¯
Murong Tai pped Zheng Min in the face, grabbed Zheng Min and pulled her up.
Murong Xin Lian heard that the voice was wrong, she immediately let people lighten up the room. The moment the room lightened up, Murong Xin Lian saw a naked Zheng Min kneeling on the ground.
¡°Mother, howe it¡¯s you?¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart was in a tremendous shock. Should Murong Qi Qi not be in this room? Why was it Zheng Min?
¡°Old master, please spare my life! Old master, please spare my life!¡±
The man on the bed casually put on his clothes, came off the bed and immediately knelt down.
¡°Old master, it was concubine Zheng who seduced me. It really was concubine Zheng......¡±
The man hadn¡¯t even finished speaking when Murong Tai pulled out a sword and cut off his head. A bloody head rolled in front of Zheng Min. Zheng Min screamed: ¡°Wa......¡±
¡°Slut! You still scream?!¡±
Just thinking that the younger generation of the three great families saw the scandal of his family and saw that he actually had worn a green hat, Murong Tai was really angry. This matter had been seen by outsiders. How would he continue to live?! The more he thought, the angrier he got. The more he thought, the more fire lit in him. Murong Tai simply didn¡¯t think anymore. A sword pointed at Zheng Min.
¡°Daddy, don¡¯t!¡±
Murong Xin Lian wanted to rush inside to save Zheng Min, but Murong Qing Lian stretched her feet making her stumble on the ground. After she got up, the sword has already pierced into Zheng Min¡¯s heart. The blood sshed on Murong Tai¡¯s hem.
¡°No......¡±
Seeing this, Murong Xin Lian cried once and fainted.
Originally they were going to see Murong Qi Qi. Now they saw the prime minister¡¯s scandal. Li Yun Qing and the others exchanged a look and quietly backed out.
At this time, Murong Tai was no longer in the mood to go think about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s matter. Seeing that till dead Zheng Min had her eyes open with a shocked expression, Murong Tai felt resentment. He went forward, pulled out the sword and kicked Zheng Min.
ording to Xi Qi country¡¯sw, when a wife is caught on spot having an affair, she could be killed immediately. Thew will not hold the man responsible. That¡¯s why Murong Tai flew into rage out of humiliation and killed Zheng Min.
¡°Servants!¡±
Murong Tai called the housekeeper Chen Zhong.
¡°Throw this couple out to feed the dogs. Today¡¯s matter no one was allowed to spread it out, otherwise don¡¯t me me for being ruthless!¡±
Murong Tai¡¯s ruthlessness made Chen Zhong¡¯s heart tremble. After all Zheng Min gave birth to Murong Xin Lian for him and normally she is also very favored by Murong Tai. But now this matter happened, Murong Tai didn¡¯t even ask, directly killed her and didn¡¯t even leave a whole body. This prime minister was really heartless, ah......
The only one on the scene who was happy was Murong Qing Lian. Zheng Min died. Liu Yan Zhi could now be the only favored one. And Murong Xin Lian will be shamed because of this. No matter how beautiful she was, good families wouldn¡¯t dare to let her marry into their family!
I tried to find the story I heard when I was younger, but couldn¡¯t find it. I was also curious about the story of the green hat and a family once told me a story.
Long time ago, in the ancient times, there was a merchant who had a wife that sold vegetable on the market. One day, she and a man selling tofu got attracted to each other. When the merchant went away for business, they would have an affair. One time, the merchant went away to buy something and the man selling tofu thought he went again on a business trip. While they were having a tryst, the merchant came back home. The man selling tofu needed to hide. The wife then told the man selling tofu that when her husband goes on a business trip, she¡¯ll make him wear a green hat. The wife said to her husband that she would make him a green hat, so it¡¯ll be like she is with him when he was away. So since then every time the man selling tofu saw the merchant go away wearing a green hat, he¡¯ll think: I¡¯ll go warm your bed for you.

Chapter 17: The Enemy of My Enemy Is a Friend
Chapter 17: The Enemy of My Enemy Is a Friend
After Zheng Min and that man¡¯s body had been thrown out, Murong Tai flung his sleeve and left. He needed to go to Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s to search for constion. After all these kind of matters really hurt a man¡¯s self-esteem.
Murong Qing Lian looked once at the fainted Murong Xin Lian, sneered and also went back to Lan Xiang yuan1.
After quite a while did Murong Xin Lan slowly woke up. The maroon blood on the ground reminded her what just happened. Murong Tai actually killed her mother in front of her. No matter what Murong Xin Lian couldn¡¯t ept this.
¡°Ma Nao,e here!¡±
Murong Xin Lian looked gloomily at Ma Nao.
¡°Why was my mother here? Where is that slut Murong Qi Qi? And where is Murong Jun? Should it not have been them who should be here?!¡±
¡°Second miss, this ve doesn¡¯t know, ah!¡±
Ma Nao had also been scared to death by what happened.
¡°This ve obviously helped third miss get in the bed. Later I also led young master here. Why it became like this, this ve also doesn¡¯t know, ah!¡±
Murong Xin Lian didn¡¯t listen to Ma Nao¡¯s exnation. She only wanted to vent. She wanted to vent the anger and sadness in her heart. Murong Xin Lian pulled out a hairpin and fiercely stabbed it in Ma Nao¡¯s face.
¡°Bitch! You cause my mother to die! Give my mother back to me!¡±
¡°Miss, don¡¯t!¡±
Ma Nao raised her arm to dodge. This kind of action made Murong Xin Lian more furious.
¡°I let you dodge! I let you dodge!¡±
Murong Xin Lian grabbed Ma Nao¡¯s hairs. She directly stabbed the hairpin into Ma Nao¡¯s eye. She pricked once, but it didn¡¯t lessen her hate. She pricked above ten times.
¡°Second miss, spare me! Second miss spare this ve!¡±
Ma Nao¡¯s miserable cries attracted the servants over. When they saw Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ferocious appearance and the small andrge holes full of blood on Ma Nao¡¯s face, everyone was scared till they were in daze by Murong Xin Lian¡¯s cruel means.
Was this still the gentle and pleasant second miss? Could it be that this was second miss¡¯s true colors? In a moment, the image that Murong Xin Lian shaped so hard, fell apart. But at this moment, Murong Xin Lian didn¡¯t care about that. Zheng Min had been caught in bed. She, this second miss had long lose all face.
Even if Murong Tai blocked everyone¡¯s of the mansion¡¯s mouth, there was no guarantee that others wouldn¡¯t tell; for example the young masters and miss of the three great families. Now her face was gone, why did she still need to care about image?!
At this moment, Murong Xin Lian only wanted to vent. Vent the anger inside her. Until Chen Zhong appeared again and dragged the tragic sight of Ma Nao with a body covered in blood away, did Murong Xin Lian sat limply on the ground.
Over, all was over. Today¡¯s matter would let her be Murong household¡¯s, no, she will be the joke of the capital! No one will marry her who had such a matter. No need to mention Jing wangfei2, even bing a concubine to warm Longze Jing Tian¡¯s bed was now impossible.......
Murong Xin Lian sobbed for a while. Until everyone had left, did Fei Cui came.
¡°Second miss, condolences!¡±
Fei Cui handed a handkerchief to Murong Xin Lian.
¡°You can¡¯t give up like this, ah! Someone certainly tempered with today¡¯s matter. You must pick yourself up and get revenge for concubine Zhen!¡±
Fei Cui¡¯s words pulled Murong Xin Lian from her grief. That was right, she couldn¡¯t give up like this! Why did the matter be like this? She must find the reason. She couldn¡¯t let Zheng Min die unjustly!
¡°Did you look carefully?!¡±
Murong Jun gritted his teeth and red full of hate in the direction of Ou Xiangyuan. Murong Xin Lian actually calcted him and Murong Qi Qi to ruin their reputations! That bitch was really malicious!
¡°Why did you help me?¡±
Murong Jun looked at the person in ck. If it wasn¡¯t because of this person¡¯s help, the one who would¡¯ve died on Murong Tai¡¯s sword tonight would be him, Murong Jun!
¡°Can¡¯t continue looking at that bitch pretending!¡±
The person in ck left this sentence and disappeared from the room. Seeing that no one was here, Murong Jun hurriedly left. After he left, the person in ck went to Cui Zhu yuan.
¡°Miss, the matter is finished!¡±
The person in ck ripped of the ck cloth on her face. It was Su Yue. She made an ¡®ok¡¯ gesture at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Not bad!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was sketching on a paper. Su Yue went forward and looked. Murong Qi Qi is designing jewelries, hairpins, earrings, buckles, bracelets, rings...... a set. All have a Begonia flower design.
¡°Miss, are these for Bai family¡¯s eldest miss? So beautiful! It really matches miss Bai¡¯s aura!¡±
¡°Clever!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded. After the final brush, Murong Qi Qi put down the brush and carefully dried the ink.
¡°Su Mei, tomorrow you make a trip to Tong Bao Zhai. Let master Li make the jewelries with the best jade. The sooner the better.¡±
¡°Why did miss save Murong Jun? Making that stick be ruined isn¡¯t it very good?¡±
Su Mei didn¡¯t understand.
¡°The enemy of my enemy is our friend. With one more person to resent Murong Xin Lian, will I not have more time to sleep......¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue nced at each other andughed. Miss was like this. Those who treated her well, even if it was with a drop of water, she would remember. Those who were bad to her, she would also not let go.
Bai Yi Yue would have never thought that today she unintentionally helped Murong Qi Qi, she would be able to get ¡®Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s¡¯[] 3. Gongzi: young master/ also used to call a famous unmarried man] full set of jewelry. If she knew that the Guang Hua gongzi from the rumors was Murong Qi Qi, how would she feel?
Recently, too many things happened at Murong fu3. Third miss Murong Qi Qi injured miss Duanmu, cutting of the tendons of his right hand. Duanmu Lei filled awsuit at the imperial censor. Murong fu¡¯s favored concubine Zheng suddenly died from illness. Second miss couldn¡¯t ept the fact that her mother had passed away and was sick in bed......

Chapter 18: The Empress’s Wishful Thinking
Chapter 18: The Empress¡¯s Wishful Thinking
The emperor Longze Yu had three sons and two daughters. Jing wang1 Longze Jing Tian was 18 years. His consort mother was one of the four consorts, consort Xian, He Xin Er.
An emperor can have four consorts: consort Gui, consort De, consort Shu and consort Xian
Wei wang Longze Jing Ming was 12 years old. His consort mother was just an ordinarydy in waiting. Zhao wang Longze Jing Qi was 9 years old. His consort mother was consort De, Bai Meng Yu. Eldest daughter princess Ping Yang, Longze Yu Er was 15 years old. She was born from Duanmu Qing. Youngest daughter princess Xin Yang, Longze Jin Er was 3 years old. Her consort mother was Imperial noble consort Murong Xue Lian.
That year when Duanmu Qing gave birth to Ping Yang princess, it was a difficultbor. With great difficulty, the mother and daughter were saved, but her body got hurt. Ever since then, she didn¡¯t be pregnant again. Not having a son was Duanmu Qing¡¯s biggest regret. Now the rumors of Longze Jing Tian bing the crown prince were really popr, making Duanmu Qing feel a lot of pressure.
Although Duanmu Qing felt that only the son she gave birth to, was the legitimate son and was qualified to inherit the throne, but these past ten years, her belly didn¡¯t even move a little. No matter how many medicine she ate, it didn¡¯t be better.
The emperor was now really crazy for the soft like water Murong Xue Lian. The first and fifteen of every month, he would juste to Qing Luan Pce as a routine. The other times, he was at Piao Xue pce apanying Murong Xue Lian and youngest daughter Longze Jin Er.
Now Murong Xue Lian was four months pregnant. If she gives birth to a son, seeing how the emperor currently favors her, by that time she is afraid that her status as the empress will not be safe, let alone having the chance to give birth to the crown prince.
¡°Yi Yi, didn¡¯t you say that Murong Qi Qi has Lian gongzi¡¯s 2 Xue Fu pill? If bengong 3 orders a yizhi for her to bring Lian gongzi to cure your hand, what do you think?¡±
Yizhi is an imperial decree by the empress or empress dowager
Shengzhi is an imperial decree by the emperor
Even though she knew that Duanmu Yi Yi fancied Longzi Jing Tian, but Duanmu Qing would never let Yi Yi marry Longze Jing Tian.
At that time, when He Xin Er gave birth to a prince before her, it really made her heart troubled. Although He Xin Er was now dead, but Longze Jin Tian had won the empress dowager¡¯s love and because of this, also got the emperor¡¯s favor. These things were really difficult for Duanmu Qing to ept.
Not to mention that the emperor was in the prime of his life and she was also just 32 years old. She still had the chance to get pregnant. As long as the emperor hadn¡¯t established the crown prince, she would give it a shot! Even if the emperor was determined but this throne should be her child¡¯s! It¡¯s she who is the empress!
Duanmu family, being her mother¡¯s family, should support her, this empress, with all their strength. Whether it was Duanmu Hong Chen or Duanmu Yi Yi, their marriage should have some value.
One side being prosperous, both sides would be prosperous. One side lost, both sides would lose. Without a strong backing, setting a foothold in the pce was very difficult. For the great families, even if they had the ability and were really skillful, without anybody in the pce, it would be useless.
In her heart, Duanmu Qing had already selected a husband for Duanmu Yi Yi. Letting her marry great family Shangguan family¡¯s Shangguan Wu Ji was the best choice. With Shangguan family¡¯s prestige in the military, if she gives birth to a prince, then this entire empire would then be her son¡¯s!
Duanmu Yi Yi didn¡¯t know that her fate had long been arranged by Duanmu Qing. At this time, she only wanted to talk about Lian gongzi with Duanmu Qing.
Strange doctor Lian gongzi¡¯s medical skills were rumored to have reached the level of gods. If Murong Qi Qi really could bring Lian gongzi, not only would her hand have hope to recover, even the empress¡¯ inability to get pregnant will have hope to be cured.
¡°Aunt, if Murong Qi Qi can¡¯t invite Lian gongzi, then what?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t invite?¡±
Duanmu Qing¡¯s lips revealed a cruel smile.
¡°Then bengong will strip her title of Jing wangfei4, making her be an abandoned wife even before being married!¡±
¡°Aunt......¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi was really happy. Aunt hadn¡¯t forgotten her. She really would take revenge on her behalf. But just thinking about her right hand, Duanmu Yi Yi felt really contradictory. Lian gongzi was her only hope for getting her right hand cured. She didn¡¯t want to have a crippled right hand for life.
Seeming to have guessed what Duanmu Yi Yi was thinking, Duanmu Qing gently patted her hands.
¡°Aunt knows your mind. Don¡¯t worry, aunt would surely not let Murong Qi Qi be Jing wangfei! Two sisters, one bing Imperial noble conosrt and one bing Jing wangfei, won¡¯t they get too prosperous by then?!¡±
¡°Aunt, you¡¯re the best!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yiughed darkly. Murong Qi Qi, before long, you¡¯ll be an abandoned wife. I want to see how long you could still be so proud!
It didn¡¯t take long for the empress¡¯s yizhi to reach Murong fu5. The yizhi said very clearly, being sentenced to death could be escaped, but living in hardship would be difficult to escape. Murong Qi Qi must find Lian gongzi within ten days to cure Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s hand to make up for her mistake!
¡°Miss, the empress is obviously wearing the same pair of pants as Duanmu Yi Yi!¡±
Su Mei cut a peach and brought it to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips with a bamboo stick.
¡°What do you n to do? Really going to cure her hand? By this subordinate¡¯s meaning, she dared to point a sword at miss, that hand being crippled is not even enough!¡±
Murong Qi Qi ate small chunks of peach. Really sweet. She always liked sweet fruits.
No one knew that the renowned Lian gongzi was actually Murong fu¡¯s third miss. Duanmu Yi Yi and Duanmu Qing would have never thought that the person they were looking for was nowfortably eating a peach.
¡°Su Mei, saving one life is better than to build a seven floor pagoda. Of course I need to cure Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s hand. Not only will I cure her, I also will cure Duanmu Qing¡¯s inability to get pregnant, letting her be able to get pregnant with a prince. The empress has longed for this child for a long time. After she gives birth to a legitimate son, Xi Qi country will be lively!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile was very sweet. Her voice was soft, but Su Mei was aware of the plot behind Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile. This miss had a personality of wishing for the world to be in chaos. Presumably she had thought of some fun things¡ª-Su Mei silently began to pray for the people who were being calcted by Murong Qi Qi.
The empress¡¯ yizhi didn¡¯t scare Murong Qi Qi. Instead, it made the imperial noble consort Murong Xue Lian at Piao Xue Pce be worried. Murong Xue Lian knew that Duamu Qing wanting to cure Duanmu Yi Yi was just an excuse. In fact, it was for herself. This woman was nearly going crazy from wanting a son! It was just how did Murong Qi Qi that rubbish got to know Lian gongzi? If Lian gongzi really cured the empress and Duanmu Qing bes pregnant with a dragon, then what should she (MXL) do?
¡°No! The ce of the crown prince is bengong child¡¯s. Benggong will certainly not let go!¡±
Murong Xue Lian stroked her slight bulged belly, called her confidante Hu Po and said some things to her. She let her go to the prime minister¡¯s mansion to convey her words.
¡°Third miss, this is the reward that imperial noble consort gifted you!¡±
Hu Po put a box with pearl jewelry in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Really beautiful, ah! Are they really for me?¡±
Murong Qi Qi face is full of disbelief. She touched the bean sized pearls carefully. Her eyes had been attracted by them like it was the first time she saw such good things.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ck of knowledge¡¯ expression, Hu Po twitched her lips and looked at her sarcastically: ¡°It¡¯s good that third miss likes it! How did third miss got to know Lian gongzi?¡±
¡°Oh, when I went to the mountain to get herbs, I got to know him! Lian is very nice to people!¡±
Seeing that the other party finally got to the real subject, Murong Qi Qi smiled like a silly person and revealed her white teeth.
¡°Lian?¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi call Lian gongzi so affectionately, Hu Po was surprised. But her expression was still the same.
¡°Then where is Lian gongzi now?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head. Her eyes were confused.
¡°It¡¯s already been three years since Ist saw him.¡±
Hu Po felt a little relieved. It seemed that Lian gongzi and Murong Qi Qi haven¡¯t been in contact with each other for a long time.
¡°Hu Po big sister, why are you asking this? Look, does this pearl flower look good on me?¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood in front of the bronze mirror, put a pearl hairpin in her hair while making poses.
Once again rolling her eyes, Hu Po didn¡¯t have any more patience to bother with Murong Qi Qi.
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Gongzi: young master/ also used to call an unmarried man
3. Bengong: this pce, I used by the females of the imeprial family
4. Wangfei: the main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
5. Fu: mansion/residence/household
Chapter 19: Real, Fake Lian Gongzi
Chapter 19: Real, Fake Lian Gongzi
¡°Imperial noble consort was worried that the empress will make things difficult for third miss, so she let mee take a look. Imperial noble consort said that it doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t find Lian gongzi1. If something happens, you still have her, she won¡¯t let the empress bully third miss!¡±
Really?¡ª¡ªMurong Qi Qi revealed a mocking smile in front of the mirror.
In the past when the original owner of this body was framed by Murong Xin Lian, she didn¡¯t see Murong Xue Lian, this sister of the same father and mother,e forward to speak up for her! Now, she is worried that her position will be affected, so, she wanted to use this little trick to bribe her. Did she (MXL) still think she was the Murong Qi Qi of the past?
¡°Mm, hearing these words of big sister, I¡¯ll be at ease!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled sincerely.
¡°I was so worried and so scared. Now that I have big sister, I won¡¯t be afraid of anything! Even if the empresses, I won¡¯t be afraid anymore!¡±
Hearing such stupid words from Murong Qi Qi, Hu Po was sure that this third miss, not only didn¡¯t have talent and ability, she also didn¡¯t have a brain. She said some more words and left the prime minister¡¯s mansion in a hurry.
¡°Was it really like that?¡±
Inside Piao Xue pce, after Murong Xue Lian heard Hu Po¡¯s words, her mood was extremely good.
¡°This time, bengong 2 can rest assured! By the way, is there any news from Qing Luan Pce? If Qi Qi can¡¯t find Lian gongzi, how did the empress say she¡¯ll punish her?¡±
¡°The empress will make it so that third miss can¡¯t be Jing wangfei3.¡±
¡°Ha ha!¡±
After hearing this news, Murong Xue Lian apuded. The ruby under her earlobe also shook because of her actions.
¡°This is the result that bengong wishes for! Jing wang 4 is a popr candidate for the position of the crown prince. If he bes the crown prince, then won¡¯t Murong Qi Qi be crown princess and in the future, the empress?Bengong hasn¡¯t even be the empress, how could she have that turn?! The crown prince¡¯s position, bengong has already set my eyes on it. This time, the empress has helped me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi rested for a few days. Originally, she wanted to let Duanmu Qing and Duanmu Yi Yi wait. She didn¡¯t expect that on the fifth day, Duanmu family would send a person to pick her up and say that Lian gongzi is at Duanmu residence. He has already cured the tendons for Duanmu Yi Yi and that Lian gongzi had asked to see her.
¡°Miss, who is pretending to be you?¡±
Inside the carriage, Su Yue frowned. Lian gongzi was obviously her miss, why did another Lian gongzi appear? For what kind of purpose was the other party pretending to be miss?
Seeing Su Yue¡¯s oval face with furrowed brows, Murong Qi Qi reached out her hand to touch her eyebrows.
¡°Whoever he is, counter the soldiers with arm and the water with an earth wear.¡±
Counter the soldiers with arm and the water with an earth wear: to adopt appropriate measures to the situation
¡°If Su Mei had known that someone would dare to pretend to be miss, she would surely dismember the other party!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, Su Yueughed. A faint dimple appeared on her left cheek.
¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t bring her! She is quick tempered; you are more stable. I was worried that she will smash Duanmu residence, that¡¯s why I sent her to Tong Bao Zhai. But I¡¯m very curious about this ¡®Lian gongzi¡¯. Really looking forward to seeing him!¡±
¡°Miss, isn¡¯t this called the ¡®showdown of real and fake Lian gongzi¡¯?¡±
Su Yue began to joke around.
¡°This name is not bad!¡±
While the master and servant chatted, they arrived at Duanmu residence. Great family Duanmu¡¯s housekeeper personally came to lead Murong Qi Qi inside. All the way, the housekeeper¡¯s attitude towards Murong Qi Qi was very respectful. Presumably it was because of Lian gongzi, making Murong Qi Qi looking more forward to seeing this ¡®Lian gongzi¡¯.
¡°We¡¯ve arrived!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi entered the room, she saw a tall slender figure.
¡°Lian gongzi, miss Murong has arrived!¡±
The housekeeper¡¯s voice revealed his respect for this person.
¡°Qi Qi, you¡¯vee......¡±
After this person turned, Murong Qi Qi finally saw his face. The flowing blue clothes on this man, made him seem to be in high spirits. Sterling silver cuffs and cor buttons were perfect for calling attention. It was just that those yellow bean sized buttons must be worth a lot of money. Looking at his eyebrows, they were long like the wings of a giant bird. And that pair of slightly narrowed eyes revealed amusement but will make people unable to pry into them. High nose bridge like a towering cliff and that pair of cold thin lips are in an arc, revealing a cool thin smile.
Who was this person? The precautions in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart opened. Such a handsome and cool man who didn¡¯t have a shortage of smartness, why was he pretending to be Lian gongzi? These were the doubts in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind.
Especially that full of sentiment ¡®Qi Qi¡¯, made Murong Qi Qi got goosebumps.
She was sure that she had never seen this man before. And his intimate tone full of love made everyone¡¯s eyes focus on Murong Qi Qi. Among them, there was a thirty something woman in gorgeous clothes.
¡°Not having seen for three years, Qi Qi has be more attractive.¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soul to return to her body, Lian gongzi has alreadye in front of Murong Qi Qi. Long slender fingers touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheek.
¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯ve be taller and more beautiful.¡±
¡°Who are you?¡±
Murong Qi Qi dodged his touch and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
¡°I¡¯m Lian, ah. Your Lian.¡±
If it wasn¡¯t because there were people still present, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve surely vomit blood. When did she meet this man? And this one ¡®your Lian¡¯, if it wasn¡¯t for the people, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve punched his face and greet his eyes. (She means that the punch willnd on his eyes)
¡°Qi Qi wants to hit me?¡±
Seeming to have realized the anger in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Lian held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s clenched fists with a smile. The two of them stared at each other. Murong Qi Qi saw the smile in the other¡¯s eyes.
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to rebel, Lian gongzi pulled her to the woman in gorgeous clothes.
¡°The things she promised empress, Qi Qi had already done them. Presumably empress wouldn¡¯t make things difficult for Qi Qi anymore!¡±
So this person is the empress, Duanmu Qing?
Murong Qi Qi quickly freed her hands and bowed to Duanmu Qing.
¡°Your subject¡¯s daughter greets the empress! Empress, long live a thousand, thousand, thousand years!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s good attitude made Duanmu Qing feel good. At the pce, she had been fighting with Murong Xue Lian. Here, her little sister treated her respectfully. This greatly satisfied Duanmu Qing¡¯s vanity.
¡°Stand up! Let bengong take a look!¡±
Duanmu Qing held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and carefully looked at her. She didn¡¯t have Murong Xue Lian¡¯s flirtatious look. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks could only be considered ordinary. This made Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart feel even better.
¡°You¡¯re a pleasant child. No wonder Lian gongzi cares about you.......¡±
¡°Empress!¡±
Lian gongzi had already taken Murong Qi Qi into his embrace.
¡°The things I promised empress, I already did them. Asking empress to not forget what empress had promised me. I¡¯ll take my leave......
Not waiting for Duanmu Qing to speak, Lian gongzi grabbed Murong Qi Qi and left here.
After Murong Qi Qi and Lian gongzi had left, Duanmu Lei came to Duanmu Qing¡¯s side.
¡°Little sister, do you believe him?¡±
¡°Big brother, his treatment techniques that he used on Yi Yi, you also saw, it¡¯s really unheard and unseen before. Bengong has a hunch that he will be able to cure me! Big brother, bengong tried so many medicines but they had no effect. Lian gongzi is my only hope. Bengong must give birth to a crown prince!¡±
¡°If he is won over by Imperial noble consort,then what? Murong Qi Qi is Imperial noble consort biological little sister!¡±
1. Gongzi: young master/ also used to call a famous unmarried man
2. Bengong: this pce, I used b the females of the imperial family
3. Wangfei: the main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
4. Wang/Wangye: the prince of first rank
Chapter 20: Meeting Longze Jing Tian Once Again
Chapter 20: Meeting Longze Jing Tian Once Again
¡°Hehe, big brother you don¡¯t need to worry about these. Bengong 1 has already promised him that I¡¯ll break off the engagement of Jing wang2 and Murong Qi Qi and let him get the beauty. Such a person like him won¡¯t y tricks.¡±
Talking till here, Duanmu Qing suddenly envied Murong Qi Qi. Although she didn¡¯t have talent nor beauty, but there was such a handsome man who had fallen at her feet. The pitiful one was her. Although she was Duanmu family¡¯s eldest miss, is the head of the six pces, is the empress, but how was the emperor treating her......
The imperial¡¯s grace was fleeting, so she must give birth to a crown prince! The hand in Duanmu Qing¡¯s sleeves clenched into a fist.
¡°Mi, miss.......¡±
Su Yue, who was waiting at the door, saw Murong Qi Qi being pulled by a man, her chin almost fell off. Who was this man? He dared to put his hands on miss!
¡°Let go!¡±
Murong Qi Qi wantws to pull her hand back, but the other party grabbed it tighter.
¡°Not letting go!¡±
Lian gongzi 3still has a yful expression, but Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t read the mood shing in his eyes.
¡°Do you want to die?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes burned with anger. It had always been her who had everything in her grasp, when did it be that others could meddle in her things? No matter who this man was, she had no interest. If he continued to be like this, then don¡¯t me her for being ruthless!
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes exuding wild light like a leopard in the forest, the way Lian gongzi looked at her began to be admiration.
Indeed, the woman wang > had selected! Could it be that the things that had entered wang¡¯s eyes were this arrogance and the rebelliousness in her eyes? However, these were far from enough, enough for you to stay by that man¡¯s side. Murong Qi Qi, I still want to see your ability that made wang give you special treatment......
¡°Qi Qi, you hid it really deep, ah......¡±
Lian gongzi¡¯s breath was light and very warm, stroking Murong Qi Qi¡¯s earlobe.
¡°What are you two doing?!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to counterattack, a thundering voice came. Looking at the direction, don¡¯t know since when, there were now a few more people led by Jing wang Longze Jing Tian.
At this time, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expression was very livid. Standing behind him were Duanmu Hong Chen, Shangguan Wu Ji and Li Yun Qing.
Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji heard about the matter of the empress letting Murong Qi Qi search for Lian gongzi, they were worried about her. After finding out that Lian gongzi was at Duanmu residence, the two came and happened to encounter Duanmu Hong Chen inviting Longze Jing Tian over. They had just arrived and saw this scene. From their point of view, it was Lian gongzi who kissed Murong Qi Qi......
¡°Wangye, you saw it! She is Murong Qi Qi!¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen¡¯s lips revealed a sarcastic smile. Murong Qi Qi was being so intimate with a man in the open, no man would be able to ept it, let alone Longze Jing Tian.
Duanmu Hong Chen¡¯s expression made Li Yun Qing understand. He deliberately invited Longze Jing Tian along to watch this scene.
Shangguan Wu Ji felt really ufortable. He felt like he was about to lose something important.
¡°Shameless!¡±
Longze Jing Tian red angrily at this ¡®cheating couple¡¯. Although he didn¡¯t fancy Murong Qi Qi and wanted to break off the engagement, but the other party was still his fianc¨¦e in name. His fianc¨¦e was entangled with another man and had been seen by so many people. Where should he, Longze Jing Tian, put his face?!
¡°Qi Qi, he is talking about us!¡±
Lian gongzi simply pulled Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His beautiful pair of eyes looked at Longze Jing Tian, full of provocation.
¡°Is he your fianc¨¦e? I see, he is just so so, how can hepare to the handsome me?! Qi Qi, why don¡¯t you reconsider; kick him out and go with me, alright?¡±
Lian gongzi lifted a wisp of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair and rolled it around his finger.
¡°I promise you, from my head to my toe, I¡¯m clean. Not like him who has long been sullied by the fragrance of those women. You won¡¯t be interested in such a disgusting man......¡±
Lian gongzi¡¯s action provoked Longze Jing Tian¡¯s anger.
His things, even if it was a woman he didn¡¯t want, before he had abandoned it, it was definitely not allowed to betray him. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t be forgiven!
¡°Murong Qi Qi, today I finally got to know how cheap you are!¡±
Longze Jing Tian already knew that the other party was strange doctor Liangongzi. In some aspect, he couldn¡¯t get into his bad side, so he put all the me on Murong Qi Qi.
¡°It¡¯s alright to not have such a slut like you!¡±
¡°Good, if you have the ability then write a break of engagement letter, ah?¡±
Murong Qi Qi finally understood Lian gongzi¡¯s motive. Seeing him provoke Longze Jing Tian so brazenly, he (Lian) must havee to break her engagement. This was what she, Murong Qi Qi, desired!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi grabbed Lian gongzi¡¯s neck and yed with his hair provocatively. The same gesture. Now it was her turn to provoke.
¡°If you¡¯re a man, then quickly help us. A gentleman should have the grace of helping people. If it¡¯s not yours, then don¡¯t use force to get it! Wangye, a fruit got by force is not sweet. Qi Qi¡¯s heart already has someone.¡±
¡°Benwang 4 forced you? Benwang will force this rubbish? Benwang, I, I......¡±
Longze Jing Tian nearly vomited blood. How did he be a person who ¡®rob someone in love¡¯, someone who was blocking another¡¯s fate? He was someone who can¡¯t wait to break off the engagement!
¡°Good, Murong Qi Qi, very good! Don¡¯t regret! Servant, get a brush forbenwang!¡±
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t be impulsive!¡±
The moment he heard that Longze Jing Tian wanted to write a letter of breaking off the engagement, Shangguan Wu Ji immediately grabbed his arm.
¡°Breaking off an engagement is very damaging to a girl¡¯s reputation! Wangye,think it through, ah!¡±
¡°Wangye, your marriage has been decreed by the emperor. If the emperor knew that wangye broke it off in secret, I¡¯m afraid......¡±
At the other side, Li Yun Qing also verbally stopped Longze Jing Tian and let him calm down. Although he didn¡¯t know why Murong Qi Qi was being like this, but if Longze Jing Tian wrote down the ¡®break off engagement¡¯ letter, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation would be gone!
¡°Lian, you once said that your biggest wish was to let another raise your son. It seems that your wish will be realized soon.¡±
Murong Qi Qi pulled Lian gongzi¡¯s hand and carefully put it on her belly.
¡°In fact, I also feel that the surname Longze is really nice in the ears!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Lian gongzi froze for a moment. Then seeing the slyness sh in her eyes, he smiled. This woman was indeed interesting. She even abandoned the virginity that everyone cared about the most. It seemed that she also couldn¡¯t wait to withdrew from the political marriage. Wang was actually worried that she had a crush on Longze Jing Tian and especially let him make this trip. Now it seemed that it was really unnecessary. She would¡¯ve been able to do all of this......
¡°You! Murong Qi Qi, you are simply shameless to the extreme!¡±
Longze Jing Tian, who had been persuaded and got some of his senses back, couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She hadn¡¯t even married but has already made him wear a green hat. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t have such a woman!
1. Bengong: this pce, I used by the females of the imperial family
2. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
3. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer to a famous unmarried man
4. Benwang: this king, I used by the prince of first rank
Chapter 21: Blood Colored Breaking Engagement Letter
Chapter 21: Blood Colored Breaking Engagement Letter
¡®Si......¡¯
Longze Jing Tian tore his hem, spread it out on the stone table, bit his forefinger and wrote with the blood from his fingertip ¡®Break off engagement letter¡¯.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, today, I will dump you! If emperor father search for the me, benwang1 will have an exnation!¡±
¡®Pa......¡¯
Murong Qi Qi stretched out her hand to catch the ¡®break off engagement¡¯ letter Longze Jing Tian threw at her. She swept her eyes once over it and once satisfied, passed it along to Su Yue so she could guard it well.
Leaving Lian gongzi¡¯s2 embrace, Murong Qi Qi bowed at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Thanking wangye 3 for your help! Hoping that wangye will find the woman you like very soon and fly together!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Longze Jing Tian frown. Could it be that she knew the matter of Du Xian Er? On second thought, that was entirely impossible.
¡°Humph! Murong Qi Qi, you better make the best out of it!¡±
Finally, he found a reasonably excuse to dump this rubbish. This made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s mood be very good. Suddenly, he felt his whole body rx. Not having a marriage anymore, he could now openly go search for Du Xian Er! Just thinking of the fairy in the forest made Longze Jing Tian feel happy.
It was just that when he turned and looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bright smile under the sunlight, Longze Jing Tian had a feeling of defeat. She actually wantes to leave him so much and wanted to take off the identity of Jing wangfei4 that everyone else wanted?
Not being wanted by a rubbish, more or less damaged Longze Jing Tian¡¯s proud self-esteem.
¡°Acting on wangye¡¯s words, I¡¯ll surely live till hundred and scourge the millennium!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words thoroughly annoyed Longze Jing Tian. He immediately flipped his sleeves, turned and left. The others were lost behind him.
¡°You really deserved it.......¡±
Duanmu Hong Chen looked once at Murong Qi Qi, taking joy out of her cmity. Then he followed behind Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Little cousin sister, why?¡±
After Longze Jing Tian left, Li Yun Qing sighed. He was not Longze Jing Tian, so of course he wouldn¡¯t believe those nonsense words of Murong Qi Qi. It was just that he didn¡¯t think that she wanted to free herself. Could it be that it was really like the song she sang that night?
However, deep in his heart, Li Yun Qing was happy because Murong Qi Qi got her freedom back. Did this mean that he has a chance?
¡°Big cousin brother, can this Long Hu Ling really ask you to do anything?¡±
Being seen through by Li Yun Qing, Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t a bit surprised. Such an intelligent man, how could he not see through her little y?!
Seeing the Long Hu Ling in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, Li Yun Qing became serious.
¡°Of course, this is my Li family¡¯s keepsake. As long as you¡¯re holding the Long Hu Ling, you can ask the people from Li family to do anything.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thick eyshes shook violently. The dagger in her hands cut open Lian gongzi¡¯s cloth in a lightning speed.
Even as he felt the danger and dodged at his fastest, but the pain in his abdomen and the wet clothes told Lian gongzi that Murong Qi Qi had wounded him.
¡°Qi Qi, you want to murder your husband?¡±
Lian gongzi smiled in pain and quickly touched his acupuncture point to stop the blood. He then wiped medicine on the wound and used his ripped clothes to bandage it. He had forgotten wang¡¯s words when he was leaving: Docile on the outside, but in reality, you cannot mess with her.
¡°When did evil doctor Jin Mo get a hobby of being an imposter?¡±
Evil here doesn¡¯t literally mean evil. It means he is a doctor of the dark side of the jianghu.
Murong Qi Qi went to one side. In her hand was the dagger Shangguan Wu Ji had gifted her.
¡°Ruining my reputation, do you think you can still leave here smoothly?¡±
¡®Dang......¡¯
Murong Qi Qi took out the Long Hu Ling and threw it to Li Yun Qing.
¡°Kill him!¡±
It was the second time that Li Yun Qing saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s speed. The first time was when she had kicked Duanmu Yi Yi in theke. The second time was just now. In front of that lightning speed, even Li Yun Qing would be humble. Was she really a physically weak woman?
Not thinking anymore, Li Yun Qing took action against Lian gongzi.
Jin Mo, who had been confused by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile, at this moment understood. He had fallen into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s trap. She must have long seen through his identity and had the gall to use him to act in her y. And now, she even wanted him killed!
Sure enough, women and viins were difficult to raise. A little woman like Murong Qi Qi must surely not offend.
Shangguan Wu Ji at one side, after hearing the dialogue between them, finally understood that this man in blue clothes wasn¡¯t actually Lian gongzi. Just thinking about how his nonsense words ruined Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation, Shangguan Wu Ji got angry. He clenched his fists, roared once and rushed towards Jin Mo¡¯s back.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, no matter what, I still helped you. How can you take revenge on the one who helped you?¡±
Being attacked at the front and the back, even if Jin Mo was a level seven expert, he couldn¡¯t escape from Shangguan Wu Ji and Li Yun Qing¡¯s well-coordinated coboration.
¡°First sin, being an imposter; second sin, ruining my reputation; third sin, having ulterior motives. Jin Mo, you didn¡¯t stay in Bei Zhou, why did youe to Xi Qi? Using the guise of Lian gongzi to get close to the empress. Say, should we tie you up and bring you to the office of justice to let them investigate you carefully? Or is it that you came here this time because of some secret mission?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was standing in the shade. Her clear voice reached Jin Mo¡¯s ears, making him stumble for a moment and almost fall from the sky. Very good! It¡¯s really very good! Not only did she point out his identity, now she was also make him wear such a big hat.
Wearing a big hat: putting a big usation on someone. MQQ is using him of doing a secret mission in Xi Qi
Who didn¡¯t know that strange doctor Jin Mo is Bei Zhou¡¯s Nan Lin wang Feng Cang¡¯s subordinate. Him appearing in Xi Qi and alsoing in contact with Xi Qi country¡¯s empress, everyone would think that there was some secrets here, some conspiracy.
This woman was really good at ying politics. It was entirely killing without seeing blood......
Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji also understood Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. Especially when thinking about that Nan Lin wang Feng Cang of Bei Zhou who had the name of ¡®demon wang¡¯, the two¡¯s heart trembled. Their attacks became more vicious.
Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji deserved the title of the younger talents of Xi Qi country. Li Yun Qing was good at attacking. His weapon was a green jade flute plus he was wearing light colored clothes. Looking at him, he looked more like an immortal.
Shangguan Wu Ji came from a family of generals. With just one attack, you¡¯ll be able to see solid basic skills. His pair of tiger iron fists, Murong Qi Qi could totally imagine what the oue would be if theynded on Jin Mo¡¯s face which was refined as a precious jade.
Jin Mo felt his figure had never been so sorry before. First, he was attacked by Murong Qi Qi. His belly had a not deep nor shallow wound that kept bleeding and now he is being attacked by two level seven experts, making his situation even more difficult.
Moreover, that damned Murong Qi Qi seemed to have put a drug on the dagger. Jin Mo felt the wound bing numb. His body is also bing unconscious. His hand movements gradually slowed.
¡®Pa¡¯.
Jin Mo¡¯s back has eaten Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s fists.
Damned woman! In order to stop this drug from making him lose consciousness, Jin Mo tore the already bandaged wound. Blood flew out again. The pain shocked him, making him more awake. Jin Mo had some regrets. He should¡¯ve listened to Feng Cang and shouldn¡¯t have underestimated this woman! A woman who entered Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, how could she be an ordinary woman......
The three fighting in Duanmu residence had alerted Duanmu Lei and Duanmu Qing. When she learned that the man who hade today wasn¡¯t strange doctor Lian gongzi but Bei Zhou¡¯s evil doctor Jin Mo, Duanmu Qing paled.
Just now, Jin Mo had checked her pulse. The secret of the mother of a country being unable to get pregnant was now known by a person of another country, this was really shameful! Immediately, unprecedented disgrace entered Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart. This man couldn¡¯t be left alive, he must die!
¡°Come people, kill this thief of Bei Zhou for bengong5!¡±
1. Benwang: this king, I used by the prince of first rank
2. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer to a famous unmarried man
3. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
4. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
5. Bengong: this pce, I used by the females of the imperial family
Chapter 22: Pill for Having Children
Chapter 22: Pill for Having Children
After Duanmu Qing¡¯s order fell, the archers of Duanmu family surrounded Jin Mo. Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji exchanged a nce. They retreated to one side. Arrows immediately fired at Jin Mo.
This was bad......Jin Mo smiled helplessly. He is now regretting very much that he didn¡¯t practice martial arts well. Although his martial arts were not bad, but the thing that he is good at, is the art of healing. Master said that although people need to have skills, but they also need to have the ability to protect themselves. At that time, he didn¡¯t put those words in his heart. Today he understood those words, but it seemed that it was a bit toote.
Now seeing this dark mass of shiny arrows in front of him, Jin Mo once again looked at Murong Qi Qi, who is looking at this y in the shadows. His heart felt bitter and obscure. Could it be that his legendary reputation would be destroyed at the hand of this little woman Murong Qi Qi? Should he really send out a signal for help? Then wouldn¡¯t it let peopleugh till they lose their teeth?!
¡®Kuang......¡¯
At this time, an iron umbre opened in front of Jin Mo.
¡®Kuang kuang kuang......¡¯
The arrowsnded on the ground. Jin Mo clearly saw the people who came. Happiness immediately went into his heart.
¡°Ji Xiang, Ru Yi, howe it¡¯s you guys?¡±
¡°Wang [Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank] said with mister¡¯s IQ, you will definitely not win wangfei1, so he let use save you. Wang was right, mister really is wounded!¡±
Ji Xiang eyes are like crescent moon and both sides of his cheeks have a little dimple. Seeing Jin Mo¡¯s blood-red abdomen, Ji Xiang chuckled.
¡°She is not our wangfei yet!¡±
Jin Mo said it with gritted teeth, but in his heart, he couldn¡¯t help but admire that woman who looked ordinary and weak on the outside. Her wisdom was her most powerful weapon.
¡°Wang said she is wangfei, then she is wangfei. Mister shouldn¡¯t disagree!¡±
Ru Yi and Ji Xiang are twins of mixed sex. The two looked alike. When they areughing, their eyes are like crescent moons. The only difference was that Ru Yi doesn¡¯t have dimples.
They grabbed Jin Mo at both sides. The three people jumped over the fence and disappeared in front of everyone.
¡°Chase! Chase them faster!¡±
Duanmu Lei was sweating profusely because of anxiousness. Jin Mo appeared in Xi Qi, then what about Feng Cang? Where was he? Could it be that he also came to Xi Qi? But wasn¡¯t the tournament of the four countries still a few months away? This year¡¯s location is Bei Zhou, ah? Why did hee to Xi Qi? There haven¡¯t been any signs, ah!
Duanmu Qing¡¯s face color was also not much better. After the people went after Jin Mo, she called Murong Qi Qi alone in a room.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you expose his identity before?¡±
Duanmu Qing looked at Murong Qi Qi sharply.
¡°Answering empress, the moment your subject¡¯s daughter entered, your subject¡¯s daughter had been seized by him. Your subject¡¯s daughter doesn¡¯t know martial arts. I have no means to fight him. Besides empress is here, your subject¡¯s daughter was worried that he will do something bad to empress. That was why I didn¡¯t expose him in the room.¡±
It didn¡¯t look like Murong Qi Qi was lying. Duanmu Qing recalled the scene that had happened earlier. Indeed, it seemed like Murong Qi Qi had been pulled by Jin Mo the moment she had entered. It looked like an intimate act, but after reflecting on it, it did seem strange.
¡°Then how did you find out that he is Jin Mo?¡±
Duanmu Qing was not an idiot. Although Murong Qi Qi passed this round, but in her heart she still has many questions.
¡°Maybe empress doesn¡¯t know, ording to seniority, Lian gongzi 2 is Jin Mo¡¯s little junior brother. That year when your subject¡¯s daughter was living at Jing Xin An, your subject¡¯s daughter passed some time with Lian gongzi. He has mentioned this senior brother to your subjec¡¯s daughter. Lian gongzi is the disciple of the holy doctor. The two of them practiced under the holy doctor. It was just that Lian gongzi became an apprenticeter. At that time, Jin Mo has already mastered the medical skills for many years. So, Jin Mo didn¡¯t know the existence of this little junior brother.¡±
After hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s exnation, Duanmu Qing seemed to understand the reason. But today¡¯s matter made her very embarrassed. If they¡¯ve killed Jin Mo then it¡¯s alright, but now Jin Mo has escaped!
Although her being infertile was something that many people know, but after all, there¡¯s no clear proof, so nobody said it on the surface, they also didn¡¯t dare. If this thing was spread out by Jin Mo, with his medical skills, people would certainly believe it. By that time, it was not so simple with only facing a ¡®not able to have children¡¯, the saliva of the women from the harem would be able to drown her, not to mention Longze Yu who already didn¡¯t have any feelings for her.
Thinking till here, Duanmu Qing began to hate Murong Qi Qi. If it wasn¡¯t because she cut Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s tendons, Duanmu Qing will not have forced her to find Lian gongzi and would also not have been taken advantage by Bei Zhou¡¯s Jin Mo.
Feeling Duanmu Qing¡¯s hatred, Murong Qi Qi quickly took out a small box and raised it with both hands.
¡°What is it?¡±
Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t take it. She only looked coldly at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi with such ordinary looks will have a pair of such beautiful hands. White like jade. Smooth like silk without any ws. It was like they have been finely carved out.
¡°Answering empress this is Lian gongzi¡¯s ¡®having children¡¯ pill. Your subject daughter¡¯s body is on the cool side, it¡¯s the winter cold, so Lian gongzi aside from the Xue Fu pill also gave your subject¡¯s daughter a ¡®having children¡¯ pill.¡±
Winter cold? Was it not the same thing that Jin Mo said that she had? It was very hard for people who have winter cold to get pregnant. Duanmu Qing¡¯s mind moved. She took over the box and opened it. Inside, there was a pill as red as blood.
¡°Originally, your subject¡¯s daughter wanted to save it and use it after the wedding, but......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice choked.
¡°Just now Jing wang has written a letter of breaking the engagement to your subject¡¯s daughter. Your subject¡¯s daughter will no longer be able to use it, so to present the Buddha with borrowed flowers, your subject¡¯s daughter will give it to empress, hoping that empress will give birth to a crown prince soon!¡±
To present the Buddha with borrowed flowers: to win favor using someone else¡¯s property.
¡°Jing wang has written a letter to break the engagement?¡±
Duanmu Qing has already heard of this matter, but she still showed a surprised look.
¡°How can he? Do you want bengong 3 to persuade him and let him take back the letter of breaking the engagement?¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head helplessly.
¡°Your subject¡¯s daughter has self-knowledge. It¡¯s your subject¡¯s daughter who is not worthy for him. The sooner the marriage is dissolved, the better it will be for both of us. Your subject¡¯s daughter doesn¡¯t want to dy Jing wang¡¯s future.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bleak expression fell into Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes. It let her hard heart have a trace of pity.
She also has heard some things about Murong Qi Qi and she also knew that just now, Longze Jing Tian wrote a blood letter in front of everyone without any mercy. It was clear that Longze Jing Tian hadn¡¯t set Murong Qi Qi into his eyes. In the end, she is just a pitiful person!
Thinking about her own experience, Duanmu Qing¡¯s tone became gentler: ¡°Good child! You don¡¯t need to be sad. In this world, there¡¯s always a person who will belong to you. Bengong will ept this ¡®having children¡¯ pill. If it¡¯s really effective, bengong will heavily thank you!¡±
Heavily thank? Murong Qi Qi was not so stupid to really believe Duanmu Qing¡¯s words. Her biological sister Murong Xue Lian has bad rtions with Duanmu Qing in the pce. If Duanmu Qing didn¡¯te to harm her, that is already good!
But even if she knew it clearly in her heart, Murong Qi Qi still showed an uneasy expression.
¡°Taking the burden from empress is something that your subject¡¯s daughter should do. Empress saying that will make your subject¡¯s daughter embarrassed. Your subject¡¯s daughter wish that empress will give birth to a crown prince for my Xi Qi as soon as possible!¡±
1. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
2. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer a famous unmarried man
3. Bengong: this pce, I used by the females of the imperial family
Chapter 23: What Ungratefulness Is
Chapter 23: What Ungratefulness Is
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s modesty made Duanmu Qing feel great joy. Especially thest ¡®crown prince¡¯ made Duanmu Qing feel really good. She stroked her belly as if she¡¯ll immediately be able to conceive a boy and the moment he is born, he¡¯ll inherit the empire.
¡°After bengong1 gives birth to the crown prince, the first one to reward is you!¡±
Not long after Duanmu Qing went back to Qing Luan Pce, Longze Yu came over. Duanmu Qing was very surprised at seeing Longze Yu. Could it be that he already knew of the matter with Jin Mo? She hadn¡¯t thought of a good exnation yet! The emperor already didn¡¯t love her. If he used that excuse and put the me on Duanmu family for colluding with Bei Zhou, then what should she do? In just one moment, Duanmu Qing¡¯s mind had already turned thousands times. Her palms had be wet because she was so tense.
¡°Empress, zhen2 hase today to tell you something.¡±
The thing that Duanmu Qing expected didn¡¯t happen. Longze Yu changed his normal attitude and sat beside her. He put her hands into his palm. Such intimate action made Duanmu Qing startled. How long had it been since they had such intimate action? One year, three years or has it been five years? Even Duanmu Qing herself didn¡¯t remember anymore.
Longze Yu was unaware of the difference in Duanmu Qing. He was just still angry about the thing from a moment ago.
¡°Today, zhen received a marriage proposal from Bei Zhou. Wanyan Lie wants zhen to marry a princess over! You also know, our national forces simply can¡¯tpete with that of Bei Zhou¡¯s!¡±
¡°Wanyan Lie?¡±
It¡¯s not what she thought, Duanmu Qing immediately felt rxed. But the moment she thought about the princesses who were at a marriageable age, only her daughter Longze Yu Er was at a marriageable age, Duanmu Qing immediately panicked.
Looking at the frown on this man in front of her who has apanied her for many years, Duanmu Qing spoke carefully: ¡°Emperor, you are not thinking of marrying Yu Er over, right? But Wanyan Lie¡¯s age, he could already be her father!¡±
¡°Empress, that¡¯s not the case.¡±
Longze Yu pulled Duanmu Qing in his embrace. His chin was against Duanmu Qing¡¯s hair. His voice also became sad: ¡°Wanyan Lie is asking marriage for Nan Lin wang 3 Feng Cang! I heard that Feng Cang¡¯s body has always not been good. Wanyan Lie wants to let a princess marry over for the peace and tochongxi for Feng Cang......¡±
Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the ¡¯event of great joy¡¯ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery
¡°No!¡±
Hearing the words Nan Lin wang Feng Cang, Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart went into her throat once again.
Connecting the matter of now and that of before, Duanmu Qing finally understood why today Jin Mo took such a big risk to go see her. Could it be that it was because she is the future mother-inw of his master? So it was like that, ah! So it was like that, ah!
¡°Emperor, this cannot happen! In this world, who doesn¡¯t know that Nan Lin wang has a violent personality, is cursed and caused the death of eight wives. Now Wanyan Lie wants our Yu Er to marry over, isn¡¯t that pushing her into a pit of fire?!¡±
Just thinking about those rumors of Feng Cang, Duanmu Qing couldn¡¯t help but shudder. Bloodthirsty, cold, without love......Making her daughter marry such a demon, even if she dies, she wouldn¡¯t agree!
Duanmu Qing¡¯s reaction was in the expectation of Longze Yu, but he couldn¡¯t help it! Bei Zhou has strong soldiers and sturdy horses and Nan Lin wang Feng Cangmanded the army like a god. If he doesn¡¯t agree and angered Bei Zhou, the consequences were simply unimaginably disastrous!
Strong soldiers and sturdy horses: a well-trained and powerful army.
¡°Empress, zhen also doesn¡¯t want it to be like this. The war at Yandang Mountain of that year, Xi Qi lost 400,000 men. Although fifteen years had passed, our country had only just recovered our strength. We don¡¯t have the ability to fight with the powerful Bei Zhou, ah......¡±
For the first time, Longze Yu felt failure. He was not a qualified father. Even if he knew that it¡¯s a pit of fire, he still had to send over his own daughter, because he was ipetent and he couldn¡¯t say no to Wanyan Lie¡¯s proposal.
¡°Empress, zhen is sorry to you, sorry to Yu Er......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t!¡±
A figure in yellow rushed in.
¡°Emperor father, empress mother, daughter doesn¡¯t want to marry demon wang! Don¡¯t want to marry him!¡±
¡°Yu Er......¡±
Seeing her daughter¡¯s face full of tears, Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart felt very painful. She immediately moved away from Longze Yu¡¯s embrace and pulled Longze Yu Er into her embrace.
¡°Yu Er, empress mother won¡¯t let you marry him! Won¡¯t let you go chongxi for him!¡±
¡°Muddleheaded!¡±
Hearing Duanmu Qing¡¯s muddleheaded words, Longze Yu opened his mouth to reprimand.
¡°Could it be that you want to let go of the citizens of Xi Qi country because of Yu Er?!¡±
¡°Emperor father, why is it daughter?¡±
After hearing Longze Yu¡¯s words, Longze Yu Er, immediately stood up.
¡°Emperor father can bestow the title of princess on a daughter of an official and let her marry in the ce of daughter! Weren¡¯t there such examples in the past? Why must daughter marry over?! Bei Zhou only said they wanted a princess. They didn¡¯t say it must be a princess from the royal bloodline!¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s words made the original troubled heart of Longze Yu brighten up.
¡°That¡¯s right, ah! It can be like that! Howe zhen has forgotten?! It was zhen who panicked!¡±
After Longze Yu said that, Duanmu Qing was immediately aware that there¡¯s a turning point. She must strike the iron while it¡¯s hot and consolidate his ideas.
¡°Who should be princess?¡±
As Longze Yu was thinking about this problem, Duanmu Qing was also thinking about it. Searching through the four great families as well as officials with high posts; to find a suitable candidate was really not easy.
Suddenly in Duanmu Qing¡¯s mind emerged a figure, Murong Qi Qi. After thinking it through, Duanmu Qing finally decided to push Murong Qi Qi as the ¡®scapegoat¡¯.
¡°Emperor, this subject consort has one candidate.¡±
Duanmu Qing waved at Longze Yu Er to let her excuse herself. She went to Longze Yu¡¯s side and told him everything that had happened today, but she concealed the fact that Murong Qi Qi gave her a ¡®having children¡¯ pill.
¡°Jing Tian wrote a letter of breaking the engagement?¡±
After hearing that Longze Jing Tian broke off the engagement with Murong Qi Qi, Longze Yu was somewhat surprised. In the surprise, he also understood the reason. He understood his son. He was such a proud and arrogant person, how could he ept a rubbish as wife?!
¡°It¡¯s alright that he broke it! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation doesn¡¯t seem that good. If we let her marry over, zhen is afraid that they will not ept......¡±
¡°Emperor, if it really cannot be helped, we can give her more dowry. Beside the mountain is high and the road is far, by the time the rumors here spread over to Bei Zhou, she had long married over. Whether she can or cannot survive the wedding night is still a question!¡±
Duanmu Qing took the initiative and held Longze Yu. Her voice was surprisingly gentle. Although her mouth was saying that but in her heart, she had another idea.
She was eager for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bad reputation to be spread far and wide and to let Fang Cang know the truth quickly, that Murong Qi Qi was just a woman to warm the bed. By that time, if Bei Zhou came to demand an exnation, then she could say that they all have been lied to by Murong family. By that time, she wanted to see how much longer Longze Yu could protect Murong family! If Murong family was ruined, she¡¯d like to see how Murong Xue Lian, that bitch, coudl still show off in the pce!
After hearing Duanmu Qing, Longze Yu was in a good mood. Just now, the tough problems, which made him get a headache, has been solved so easily. Now Longze Yu hadpletely epted Duanmu Qing¡¯s suggestion.
¡°Qing er4, you really are zhen¡¯s good empress, ah! Tonight, zhen will rest here!¡±
1. Bengong: this pce, I used by the females of the imperial family
2. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
3. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
4. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 24: Trouble Knocks on the Door
Chapter 24: Trouble Knocks on the Door
To some extent, it could be considered that Longze Yu¡¯s behavior was like paying the debt of gratitude with the body. Hearing that Longze Yu would stay at Qing Luan Pce today, Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart immediately jumped from happiness. The times she receives grace wasn¡¯t much, so she needed to grab this chance! That¡¯s right! She must take the ¡®having children¡¯ pill. Use all her effort to create a child!
Just one afternoon, the story of Murong household¡¯s third miss being discarded by Longze Jing Tian circted throughout the capital. She hadn¡¯t even married, yet she received the ¡®break off engagement letter¡¯ and Jing wangye1 even used blood to write it. Murong Qi Qi once again became the ¡®person of the year¡¯.
¡°Miss, as of now, about you being discarded, there¡¯s already ten different versions......¡±
Inside Cui Zhu yuan2, Su Mei¡¯s mouth hadn¡¯t stopped moving for one moment.
¡°The one that most people ept is that you and your lover Lian gongzi¡¯s3 child is already two years old. You two were secretly meeting for a date at Duanmu household. The result was that Jing wang caught you two in bed. He was so angry that he vomited blood which sprayed on the wall. Atst, he was so furious that he wrote the break engagement letter with his tears stained with blood.¡±
¡°Pu......¡±
Right at this moment, Murong Qi Qi was eating watermelon. A mouthful of watermelon seeds sprayed on Su Mei¡¯s face. Bits and pieces like ck moles.
¡°Cough, cough, Su Mei, sorry, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi wiped Su Mei¡¯s face whileughing.
¡°I really didn¡¯t expect such a big response. Now my name could be considered to be able to move the capital......¡±
When the news reached Lan Xiang yuan, Liu Yan Zhi and Murong Qing Lian were very happy.
¡°Qing er4, now the second one is ruined, the third one was also ruined. The most precious miss of our prime minister¡¯s mansion is you! You have to work hard and catch a rich husband!¡±
¡°Mom......¡±
Murong Qing Lian stomped. Her cheeks had turned red.
¡°Daughter is still young!¡±
¡°What young, ah? You¡¯re fifteen. You can already get married!¡±
Liu Yan Zhi hugged her precious daughter. She carefully looked at her. The more she looked, the more she felt that the treasure of her family was the most beautiful.
¡°Everybody loves young and talented people, but my daughter must marry the dragon among people. What is Longze Jing Tian? The problem of whether he can or cannot be the crown prince is still a question. Mom will tell you, you need to have an open mind. Don¡¯t only focus on Xi Qi country. At the tournament of the four countries, there will be many princes and nobility. As long as you can participate at the tournament of the four countries, you will find the right one. Qing er, do you understand?!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Murong Qing Lian understood Liu Yan Zhi¡¯s meaning. Among the four countries, Xi Qi country is the smallest. She would not be like Murong Xue Lian whose horizons were narrow and who would be happy as a Imperial noble consort of Xi Qi country.
At Lan Xiang yuan, the mother and daughter were celebrating for Murong Qing Lian¡¯s beautiful future. At Ou Xiang yuan, Murong Xin Lian aggressively rushed to Cui Zhu yuan with Fei Cui. While ¡®resting¡¯ for the past few days, Murong Xin Lian thought carefully about what happened at that night by the pavilion. Plus the fact of what happened to Fei Cui and ¡®that battle¡¯ between her and Murong Qing Lian had a strange taste in it. After much thinking, Murong Xin Lian put the cause of all problems on Murong Qi Qi.
It was definitely that rubbish who did something! Although after Murong Qi Qi came back, she had a submissive appearance, but all the things rted to her deviated from their original track. Something must¡¯ve happened in those five years. This rubbish actually became smarter.
Originally Murong Xin Lian had long wanted toe and cause trouble for Murong Qi Qi, but because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s status as ¡®Jing wangfei5¡¯, she didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for herself in that sensitive stage.
But now, Murong Qi Qi hadn¡¯t even married, yet she became an abandoned wife. Even if Murong Xin Lian murdered Murong Qi Qi, Murong Tai wouldn¡¯t have any objection. After all, one really beautiful daughter was more valuable than one rubbish who had been discarded!
¡°Murong Qi Qi, get your ass out!¡±
The moment Murong Xin Lian entered Cui Zhu yuan, she let Fei Cui seal the door. She had already inquired, Murong Tai was not in the mansion at this moment. In the afternoon, he had been summoned by the emperor to enter the pce. Presumably, the pce must already know about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s scandal.
Now Murong Tai must hate Murong Qi Qi to the bones. He was such a person who loves face. Having such a daughter who couldn¡¯t do anything, he must¡¯ve long wanted to crush her to death. In other words, no matter how she treated Murong Qi Qi today, Murong Tai would not oppose it.
¡°Where did this vicious dog came from?!¡±
Azy voice reached Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ears. She looked for half a day but didn¡¯t see a person. In the end, Murong Xin Lian looked up and finally saw Murong Qi Qi who was lying on the roof, sunbathing.
Her hairy on her chest. Murong Qi Qi had one hand against the pillow. The other hand is holding a fan made from feathers. Su Mei beside her was spoon feeding her a peach smoothie. Su Yue at her side was holding an umbre to block the sun for Murong Qi Qi.
yushan
Looking at Murong Qi Qi, she had an entirely leisurely look. Where was the half a point of sadness?
¡°Yo, second big sister, it¡¯s you who came, ah! Little sister¡¯s eyes are really so bad and saw wrong! It¡¯s my sin, my sin!¡± (she is referring to seeing MXL as a dog)
Murong Qi Qi was saying ¡®sin¡¯, but her face didn¡¯t show even a little guilt. Even the normal cowardice couldn¡¯t be seen, making Murong Xin Lian burst in surprise. Could it be that this was her true face? Were those humble and meek attitudes from before just acting?
¡°Murong Qi Qi, the matter of my mother, does it have something to do with you?¡±
Thinking till here, Murong Xin Lian was sure that Zheng Min has been pushed in the pit by Murong Qi Qi. Her mother¡¯s horrible death surfaced again in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes. She clenched her whip. Her eyes red full of hate at Muong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t seem to have heard Murong Xin Lian¡¯s questioning. Instead, she picked up the cup and gulped the peach smoothie.
¡°Su Mei, your workmanship is getting better and better! Next time, make smoothie of grapes. I only want it to be sweet!¡±
¡°Yes, miss!¡±
Su Mei endured herughter and took over the feather fan from Murong Qi Qi and gently fanned for her miss.
¡°Bitch!¡±
Being ignored by Murong Qi Qi, Murong Xin Lian was really furious. Her feet left the ground and jumped onto the roof.
¡°Do you think you¡¯re still Jing wangfei? You have already been discarded and is now a famous abandoned wife of the capital!¡±
¡°And what.....¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised her head and narrowed her eyes. It was just that her eyes were clear and she didn¡¯t seem to be sad because of this matter.
Why wasn¡¯t she ashamed and resentful? Encountering such a matter, being rumoured by people like this, should she not burst into tears, should she not seek death and give up on life? Why was she still so content, so calm? This was puzzling Murong Xin Lian.
However, when she thought about ¡®seeking death and giving up on life¡¯, an idea suddenly emerged in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s mind. That¡¯s right, ah! She could just kill Murong Qi Qi and then tell the outside world that Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t take the title of an abandoned wife andmitted suicide by hanging. Surely no one would doubt that.
The viciousness in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes betrayed her inner thoughts. Murong Q Qi smiled and pretended not to know.
The things that Murong Xin Lian did recently, Su Yue has long reported to her. Just a level three martial arts, a mediocre snake woman. Murong Qi Qi was not one bit worried that she (MXL) could do something to her.
Based on martial arts, even a little finger from her, Murong Xin Lian would not be able to deal with. Based on venomous, who else in this world would suit that word more than her, Du Xian Er.......
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Yuan: part of a residence
3. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer to a famous unmarried man
4. Er: term of endearment
5. Wangfei: the main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
Chapter 25: Thousand Snakes Dances
Chapter 25: Thousand Snakes Dances
¡°Sure enough, you are as shameless as what the outside say! Murong Qi Qi, as your big siter, today I¡¯ll teach you what sense of shame is!¡±
While her mouth is saying that, the whip in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hand flew mercilessly towards Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. Seeing the whip getting closer to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cid face, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s smile became more and more vicious. Mom, today, daughter will kill this rubbish to avenge you!
¡®Pa......¡¯
While Murong Xin Lian is dreaming, her face felt pain. A trail of blood under her left eye reached down to the corner of her mouth.
What?! The whip actually went around a circle and hit her own face! What¡¯s going on? Murong Xin Lian reached for the burning pain on her face with an astonished expression.
¡°Aiya!¡±
Su Mei covered her mouth and shouted in surprise.
¡°Second miss, didn¡¯t think you have masochistic tendencies and likes to whip yourself. Could it be that you like S&M (sadomasochism)? Then your future husband will be really happy, ah!¡±
¡®S&M¡¯? In Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head, an image immediately appeared of Murong Xin Lian tying up Longze Jing Tian like a rice dumpling. A foot on his back and a whip waving in her hand. Her mouth is shouting ¡®call me queen¡¯......
¡°You!¡±
Listening to Su Mei being so sarcastic, Murong Xin knows for certain that they have tampered with this whip. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have fallen on her own body.
Murong Xin Lian once again waved the whip towards Murong Qi Qi. The soft whip is like a snake dancing in the air and heading towards Murong Qi Qi. When the whip is an inch away from Murong Qi Qi, suddenly it¡¯s like it encountered a transparent wall and once again bounced back.
This time, Murong Xin Lian used more force. The result is also more miserable than before. How much effort she used, all went to her own body. ¡®Pa¡¯, once again sounded. On Murong Xin Lian¡¯s right face appeared a whip scarpletely symmetrical to the left cheek. Looking at it, it¡¯s like an upside down ¡®eight¡¯ (?).
¡°Zeze ze, second big sister, didn¡¯t you always really care about your looks? What stimulus did you receive to so ¡®not want face¡¯?¡± (a pun for calling MXL shameless)
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®not want face¡¯ finally incensed Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Rubbish, you¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t want face! The matter of you and Lian gongzi 1 has long spread throughout the capital. I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯ll face people in the future! Why don¡¯t you just die? If you¡¯re afraid to die, I don¡¯t mind giving you a ride!¡±
¡°A.......¡±
Murong Qi Qi held her hand out whileughing. Su Yue immediately rubbed her fingers, which were contaminated with juice, clean with a wet tissue. Then she (SY) carefully wiped a white cream evenly on her (MQQ) hand.
Su Yue¡¯s action made Murong Xin Lian couldn¡¯t help butpare her to her own maids. With just aparison, she hated Murong Qi Qi even more. She didn¡¯t expect that the people under this rubbish would treat her so well. What can she do or what does she have to let people serve her like this?
¡°Second big sister, byparing, it seems that the person who tried to frame her biological brother and sister doesn¡¯t want face more (is even more shameless)! Or should we put up a stall in the capital to let the people of the capital judge who doesn¡¯t want face more?¡±
¡°You......¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face became livid.
Sure enough, everything happened because Murong Qi Qi tampered with them. She (MQQ) has long known her (MXL) n. So she grafted flowers onto a treeand changed the person into Zheng Min.
Graft flowers onto a tree: substitute one thing for another.
Just thinking about the horrifying way Zheng Min died and the series of consequences that it brought along, Murong Xin Lian wanted to tear Murong Qi Qi into pieces and throw her to feed the dogs. Her mother is gone. The image she maintained is gone. Her good destiny is gone. All of this is because of this damn Murong Qi Qi in front of her!
¡°Murong Qi Qi, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
The furious Murong Xin Lian couldn¡¯t hold it anymore. She waved the whip towards Murong Qi Qi. Now she isn¡¯t as ¡®subtle as before¡¯. She used the inner energy of her body. Her whole body is shrouded in a golden light. This is the symbol of a level three martial artist.
¡°Only level three?¡±
Murong Qi Qi yawned. Su Mei and Su Yue even more didn¡¯t put this into their eyes. Just a small level three and she dared to show arrogance in front of miss? Murong Xin Lian¡¯s head must¡¯ve been struck by lightning!
In this world, martial arts are split into nine levels. The different colors of the inner energy are to distinguish the levels. Level one to level seven correspond to the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Level eight is white. The supreme level nine is ck.
Normally, people will cherish their inner energy and won¡¯t easily show it. Evenst time, Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian only fought with their hands and feet. Since the after-effects of using the inner energy is a weak body and they need to rest for a long time before recovering. So, unless it¡¯s a duel or to protect his/her own life, otherwise nobody will use it easily under normal circumstances because that¡¯s simply wasting it.
Murong Xin Lian apparently knew the truth, but she received deep stimtion and exposed the yellow inner energy to kill Murong Qi Qi. Now in her head, there¡¯s only one thought. That¡¯s to kill Murong Qi Qi to avenge Zheng Min.
At this time, Murong Xin Lian in golden light revealed a bloodthirsty smile. Although she is less than Murong Qing Lian, but she¡¯s still a level three martial artist. Killing a rubbish, is that not an easy thing to do? Murong Xin Lian ispletely immersed in her own thoughts and didn¡¯t see the mockery in Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s eyes.
¡°Thousand snake dance!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s body is shrouded by a dancing whip. This is her ability to kill. Murong Xin Lian is sure, just this one attack will be able to remove Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®dog head¡¯. She is confident in this killer move like how she is confident in her looks.
¡°Child¡¯s y......¡±
Seeing that poop has entered Murong Xin Lian¡¯s head, Su Mei has already take a long jump. Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to open her mouth, she directly stands in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss, this ve hasn¡¯t used my muscles and bones for a long time. Can you donubi a favor and reward this opportunity to this ve?!¡±
Seeing the bright eyes on Su Mei¡¯s oval face are full of yful desire, Murong Qi Qi poked her forehead while smiling: ¡°Alright! Remember, don¡¯t hurt my flower jade-like second big sister......¡±
¡°Yes miss, this ve will surely take care of her,¡± Su Mei said while smiling.
¡°Go die!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi ¡®push¡¯ Su Mei forward as the ¡®scapegoat¡¯, Murong Xin Lian smiled viciously.
¡°You want to die? This miss will help you aplish it!¡±
Murong Xin Lian has long thought well of it. If onees, she¡¯ll kill a pair. If twoes, she¡¯ll kill two pairs. Today, she is determined to take Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head. It¡¯s the best if these two maids are also solved!
In the air, a snake is dancing. Murong Xin Lian incarnated golden arrows that headed straight to Su Mei¡¯s face. The silver whip immediately turned into a sharp weapon as if it wants to devour this little maid.
¡°Humph!¡±
Su Mei sneered. On that small oval face, the almond eyes sparkled. She stood straight. She doesn¡¯t move even with the wind, as if she doesn¡¯t fear the arrogant Murong Xin Lian.

Chapter 26: Borrowing Somebody Else¡¯s Sword to Kill
Su Mei¡¯s expression made Murong Xin Lian pause for a bit. She is just a humble little girl, but the cold auraing from her actually made Murong Xin Lian feel terrified. It¡¯s just that she can¡¯t lose. She can¡¯t back off. She can¡¯t be looked down by Murong Qi Qi this rubbish. She can¡¯t even more not avenge Zheng Min!
Seeing Murong Qi Qi hid leisurely behind Su Mei, Murong Xin Lian looked down on her even more. When something happens push a servant out to block everything, she Murong Qi Qi is not some good bird!
Murong Xin Lian haspletely forgotten that the reason all this happened is because the evil in her heart. In the end it caused today¡¯s consequences. She put the me of all what happened to her on Murong Qi Qi.
¡°All of you go to hell......,¡± Murong Xin Lian screamed. The beautiful facial features contorted because of hatred.
¡®Ka......¡¯
Just as Murong Xin Lian is fantasizing about how the whip will hook around Su Mei¡¯s slender neck and strangle the life out of her, a sound can be heard. The whip has been mped by Su Mei¡¯s index and middle finger. The whip can¡¯t be moved anymore.
Impossible! Murong Xin Lian¡¯s expression stiffened. She can¡¯t believe what is happening in front of her. The other party only used two fingers and easily resolved her level three inner energy.
No, this is impossible! Murong Xin Lian pulled the whip wildly. She wanted to pull it from Su Mei¡¯s fingers. But despite that she used all her energy, the whip still didn¡¯t move.
Who is this maid? She is obviously just a cheap maid. Why does she know martial arts? And her martial arts are far above hers!
Murong Xin Lian looked at the leisurely Murong Qi Qi with a look full of unbelievableness. No wonder she can be so arrogant. At her side, there¡¯s actually a maid with such capability! In the end in what kind of luck did she walk on!
Murong Xin Lian thought that Su Mei is just an ordinary maid. She can just bribe her. She immediately changed to a soft expression and threw out the temptation.
¡°Miss really have good capabilities, ah! You are so capable; why do you need to stay by her side?! A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, as long as you leave that rubbish ande to serve me, I assure you, the moment youe, I¡¯ll let you be the head maid and I¡¯ll pay you five liang a month! Moreover, if I marry, you can follow me as a dowry maid! What do you think?¡±
Liang: chinese currency (chinese coins). Teals: chinese currency only avable in gold and silver
A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in: a talented person chooses a patron of integrity.
A dowry maid is someone who follow their owner when they marry. They have the chance to be the concubine of their master¡¯s husband. It¡¯s consider a honor because then they can get rid of their status as maid.
Using gain as lure? Murong Qi Qizily changed position. With only five liang, she wants to get the allegiance of Su Mei, Moyu¡¯s killer of the fourth rank? Poop must¡¯ve really entered Murong Xin Lian¡¯s head.
Seeing that Su Mei didn¡¯t speak, Murong Xin Lian thought she is moved, so she continued to ¡®guide patiently and systematically¡¯.
¡°You see; this rubbish¡¯s reputation is so bad. If you follow her, you won¡¯t have good days in the future. People walk to the higher path, water flows to the downward path. You are still so young. How can you waste your youth on this rubbish? Follow me, I¡¯ll surely give you a whole new life! If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me big sister. In the future we can be sister, what do you think?¡±
Murong Xin Lian is calcting with a smile. Having such an expert to follow her, her waist won¡¯t be sour and her legs won¡¯t hurt. Walking will also have more vigor. If she encounters Murong Qing Lian, she doesn¡¯t need to be humble anymore! What is Murong Qi Qi? What this rubbish can give, she can also give. Moreover the conditions are more generous than Murong Qi Qi¡¯s! She doesn¡¯t believe that throwing such a ¡®generous¡¯ treatment, Su Mei will not be tempted.
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ¡®believing in herself infallible¡¯ once again reached a high level. Su Mei saw her beautiful face, her (SM) mouth revealed a mocking smile.
¡°Five liang? Dowry maid? Sisters? Murong Xin Lian, why don¡¯t you look at the mirror! Who do you think you are?! I¡¯ll tell you, even a strand of your hair can¡¯t bepared to our miss! Even if you give me ten thousand golden taels, I won¡¯t be following you. Because, you don¡¯t deserve......¡±
¡°You, you......¡±
Being rejected by Su Mei and the words are so ugly to hear, it¡¯s like she has been pped in the face in public. Moreover, it¡¯s in front of this rubbish Murong Qi Qi. Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face immediately turned ck.
¡°Bitch, don¡¯t be unable to tell the good from the bad!¡±
¡°The one who can¡¯t tell good from bad is you!¡±
Su Mei contemted coldly. She grabbed the whip and threw Murong Xin Lian in the air.
¡®Pa, pa, pa......¡¯
The whip broke into parts long like a thumb.
¡°Go!¡±
With Su Mei¡¯s lightmand, the broken parts of the whip flew into the air like rain and hit hard on Murong Xin Lian¡¯s body.
¡°A......¡±
Murong Xin Lian felt pain. She lost bnce. She fell from the air and smashed straight onto the ground.
¡°Miss, miss how are you?¡±
Fei Cui heard sounds, she immediately rushed to Murong Xin Lian¡¯s side and helped her up.
¡°Miss, are you injured?¡±
¡°Go away!¡±
Murong Xin Lian has never been so embarrassed. The other party is just a cheap maid. She actually dares to humiliate her like this!
Looking a Fei Cui in front of her and thinking about the maid beside Murong Qi Qi,paring them, Fei Cui is just a useless thing. Thinking till here, Murong Xin Lian got a towering rage. She pped Fei Cui¡¯s face.
¡°Go away!¡±
¡°Miss......¡±
Receiving a p in the face without reason, Fei Cui felt very wronged. She didn¡¯t do anything, why did miss p her?
¡°Second big sisteryou yourself are useless. Why take it out on the people by your side?! After all, Fei Cui is someone who came from my side. You pping her, is it not like pping my face?! Yo, look, this small face is so aggrieved. Really pitiful!¡±
Don¡¯t know when, Murong Qi Qi also hase to ground. Seeing the scene of Fei Cui being pped, Murong Qi Qi chuckled loudly.
¡°Fei Cui, why don¡¯t youe back at my side?! I¡¯ll let you be the head maid. Your sry will rise to five liang a month. When I get married, you will be my dowry maid. When you go over with me, you can be a concubine, won¡¯t it be really good?! People walk to a higher path, water flow to the downward path. If youe back, I can let bygones be bygones.¡±
Fei Cui knows that Murong Qi Qi is trying to drive a wedge. She immediately looked at Murong Xin Lan. She hoped that Murong Xin Lian will understand that she never has such a thought. But the furious Murong Xin Lian, although knowing that Murong Qi Qi is just giving her back the words she said, but the anger in her heart still can¡¯t be quelled. She need to vent.
¡®Pa pa!¡¯
Again two ps. Fei Cui¡¯s cheek immediately turned red. Seeing that blood appeared on her mouth, presumably some teeth must¡¯ve been broken. No wonder, Murong Xin Lian is still in the stage where she is using her inner energy. The force of the p is ten times from that of usual.
¡°Zeze ze! Second big sister has a really hard heart, ah! Fei Cui, you must feel wronged! If it wasn¡¯t because you told me second big sister¡¯s n, the one who is causing hysteria today will be me. Don¡¯t worry, I know how to pay the debt of gratitude. Fei Cui, as long as you nod, even if I have an acrimonious falling out, I will get you back!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked with sympathy at Fei Cui. That expression looked like she is really feeling heartache for Fei Cui.
¡°Third miss, what, what are you talking about......¡±
Fei Cui shook her head and looked with a look of disbelief. What telling her second miss¡¯s n? She didn¡¯t say anything, ah! Murong Qi Qi obviously wants to borrow somebody¡¯s else¡¯s sword to kill!
After Fei Cui understood this, her face paled.
¡°Second miss, this ve didn¡¯t betray you. You must believe this ve!¡±
Chapter 27: Princess Zhao Yang
Chapter 27: Princess Zhao Yang
Although Murong Xin Lian put a lot of effort to persuade herself that this is Murong Qi Qi¡¯s trick, it¡¯s her (MQQ) who is trying to drive a wedge between her (MXL) and Fei Cui, that she is doing it intentionally. But just the thought of Zheng Min¡¯s tragic death and the shame that it brought her, the way Murong Xin Lian looked at Fei Cui became darker.
¡°Second miss, this ve really didn¡¯t do anything, really!¡±
Sensing Murong Xin Lian¡¯s intention to kill, Fei Cui quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
¡°Second miss, I¡¯ve served you for so many years, even if there¡¯s no credit but there¡¯s hard work! Second miss, this ve has never betrayed you!¡±
¡°Fei Cui, what do mean, ah?! Do you mean that our miss ndered you?¡±
Su Mei isn¡¯t happy hearing that.
¡°Who was it that knelt in front of our miss and said that its second miss who forced you to do that thing that happened that year; it¡¯s second miss who took that glowing pearl and that you werepletely forced? Fei Cui, the words you said don¡¯t not admit it.¡±
¡°Enough, Su Mei!¡±
Su Yue who has been silent for the whole time finally opened her mouth to help.
¡°That year she can betray her master for second miss, now she can also betray second miss for our miss. There¡¯s no need to talk about justification with such person. She is just someone who doesn¡¯t have spine!¡±
¡°Bitch!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s reasoning has disappeared with Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s talks. She rushed to Fei Cui and kicked her in the chest. Fei Cui¡¯s body immediately flew like a disconnected kite against the wall.
¡°Second miss.........¡±
Blood came from Fei Cui¡¯s mouth. She looked incredibly at Murong Xin Lian. She followed this second miss for five years. She has never thought that her loyalty would pay such an oue.
¡°Second little , what are you doing?!¡±
Just at this moment, Murong Jun¡¯s voice came over. The next moment, he appeared in front of Fei Cui.
¡°Fei Cui, Fei Cui, are you alright?¡±
¡°Young, young master?¡±¡±
The person that appeared in front of her made Fei Cui surprised. Why is young master here? Why is he showing a specially caring expression?
Not waiting for Fei Cui to thin it through, Murong Jun stood up. He looked full of anger at Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Murong Xin Lian, you are too vicious! I¡¯ve already promised Fei Cui to take her as concubine. You actually dare to hurt her!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Not only Fei Cui, Murong Xin Lian is also stunned.
Why did Murong Jun take a fancy on Fei Cui? Why did he suddenly take Fei Cui as concubine? Can it be that it¡¯s really like what Murong Qi Qi said; it¡¯s Fei Cui who betrayed her, that¡¯s why Murong Qi Qi and Murong Jun overcame the trap? Right, it must be like that!
A....... Murong Qi Qi lowered her head but theughter in her eyes is really strong. She didn¡¯t expect that this big brother knows how to push the boat with the current, nor is he a fool like how the rumors say.
To push the boat with the current: to take advantage of the situation for one¡¯s own benefit
¡°Do you think that the thing you did is wless? Murong Xin Lian, you are so vicious! When fathere, I¡¯ll let father judge!¡±
Murong Jun took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on Fei Cui¡¯s mouth.
¡°Fei Cui, you have suffered! If it wasn¡¯t for you, I¡¯m afraid that now I¡¯ll be......¡±
¡°In short, Fei Cui don¡¯t worry, the thing I promised you, I¡¯ll definitely do!¡±
¡°No, no.......¡±
Fei Cui was never so afraid like now. When did young master get together with third miss? They are doing this, isn¡¯t it like wanting her to die?! Fei Cui immediately broke away from Murong Jun¡¯s embrace and retreated in fear at the other side.
¡°Miss, I, I didn¡¯t, I really.......¡±
Seeing the gloomy Murong Xin Liane closer and closer, Fei Cui¡¯s eyes showed unprecedented fear. Three men talking makes a tiger, Murong Xin Lian must¡¯ve believed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words!
Three men talking makes a tiger: repeated rumor bes a fact
¡°Slut!¡±
Murong Xin Lian didn¡¯t listen to Fei Cui. A kick again on Fei Cui¡¯s chest. This time, Fei Cui didn¡¯t utter a sound and immediately fainted.
¡°You, you killed her!¡±
Murong Jun put his finger under Fei Cui¡¯s nose. He felt no breath. Murong Jun was so scared that he sat on the ground. The finger pointing at Murong Xin Lian also began trembling.
¡°You killed her!¡±
¡°She is only a cheap maid, what about that I killed her?! If big brother really likes her, I¡¯ll give you this dead body!¡±
Murong Xin Lian red once at Murong Jun, making him shiver. He immediately got away from Fei Cui.
¡°Ai......¡±
Murong Qi Qi seemed like she is unable to bear that Fei Cui fate is like this. She slowly walked to Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Second big sister, she and I after all had an owner and ve rtionship. Let me bury her!¡±
Today she came to calcte with Murong Qi Qi, but in the end the one who was humiliated is herself. Murong Xin Lian really wants to go forward and give Murong Qi Qi a kick like Fei Cui¡¯s. But Murong Jun is here and beside Murong Qi Qi there¡¯s a high skilled martial artist. Murong Xin Lian can only force herself to gulp this anger down. She can take revenge in the future.
¡°If you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±
Murong Xin Lian said that really coldly.
¡°Third little sister really cares about feelings and friendship!¡±
¡°Compared to second big sister, I¡¯m not even close!¡±
Murong Qi Qi said that modestly. Her face returned to the usual humble and meek expression.
¡°Pretend! Keep pretending!¡±
Murong Xin Lian hasn¡¯t finish talking when she heard: ¡°Shengzhi1 has arrived.......¡±
At Cui Zhu yuan, 2three figures appeared. The one in the front is Jing wang3 Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Wangye......¡±
Seeing Longze Jing Tian, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s distorted face immediately became more gentle and full of love. The one who just said that Murong Qi Qi is pretending, now she is pretending, even god will exim in admiration.
Followed behind Longze Jing Tian are Murong Tai and an eunuch.
¡°Murong Qi Qi ept the decree!¡±
Longze Jing Tian coldly swept over Murong Qi Qi with a sullen face. He apparently didn¡¯t let go of what happened this morning and was very reluctant to make this trip.
¡°Kneel, kneel quickly, ah!¡±
Seeing that his children is just standing there, Murong Tai got anxious. He went forward, pulled them and shouted ¡°ten thousand years¡± together. They knelt together in front of Lonze Jing Tian.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s bunch of flowery words, Murong Qi Qi simply didn¡¯t listen to them. She only knows that after this decree fell, she became from Murong fu¡¯s4 third miss to Xi Qi country¡¯s Princess Zhao Yang. In the near future, she will marry to Bei Zhou, marry that Nan Lin wang Feng Cang who people call ¡®demon wang¡¯.
Really overwhelming, ah! Murong Qi Qi stood up and took over the decree. She nced at the horizon. Princess? Marry for peace? Ah, this surprise really came in time!
¡°Congrattions third miss!¡±
Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi. The way she is looking at the sky is alert. It¡¯s different from the frivolous woman at Duanmu fu this morning. Thinking about the meaning behind this decree and the rumors about that Feng Cang, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s hostility against Murong Qi Qi reduced somewhat. In his heart there¡¯s a hint of sympathy.
¡°Bengong 5 is Princess Zhao Yang!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soul returned to her body. She retrieved her gaze. On her mouth, there¡¯s a shallow smile.
¡°Asking wangye to not call me wrong again!¡±
Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to say something, Murong Qi Qi turned and went back inside the room and left the others hanging in the yard.
¡°Stop!¡±
Murong Tai shouted once. Murong Qi Qi not giving face to Longze Jing Tian like this, made Murong Tai feel very embarrassed.
¡°Where are you going?¡±

Chapter 28: Murong Xin Lian Showed Her Talent
Chapter 28: Murong Xin Lian Showed Her Talent
Just now, when he had entered the pce, Murong Tai was worried that the emperor would punish him because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s matter. He didn¡¯t think that Longze Yu would grant her the status of princess and let her marry Bei Zhou country¡¯s Feng Cang.
Thinking about Feng Cang¡¯s deceased father Feng Xie, Murong Tai¡¯s heart tasted bad like it had spilled a bottle of bitter seasoning. From beginning to end, this man has upied the heart of the woman he deeply loves. Even after his death, she preferred to stay at the temple praying. She refused to take one step outside the temple to take a look at Murong Tai and their two daughters.
In his heart, Murong Tai isn¡¯t willing to let Murong Qi Qi marry Feng Cang. Although she is rubbish but after all, she is his own flesh and blood.
His wife Li Qui Shui, throughout her whole life, the only one she thinks of and misses is Feng Cang¡¯s father, Feng Xie. Now, his daughter has to marry Feng Cang to chongxi. No matter how you see it, it¡¯s the Feng family who¡¯s receiving the advantage. This is something that Murong Tai¡¯s pride and dignity as a man could not allow.
Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the ¡¯event of great joy¡¯ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery
But if Murong Qi Qi¡¯s marriage to Feng Cang can return Li Qui Shui¡¯s smile; if sacrificing Murong Qi Qi would make Li Qui Shui step out of the temple she has stayed at for the past fifteen years ande take a look at him, even if it¡¯s only one nce, he will abandon Murong Qi Qi......
With that thought, just now in front of the emperor, Murong Tai epted this matter.
¡°Could it be that prime minister did not understand bengong¡¯s1 words?¡±
Murong Qi Qi jerked back and looked coldly at Murong Tai. That nce is as cold as ice, making Murong Tai¡¯s whole body suddenly feel chilly.
¡°Bengong is princess Zhao Yang, the future Nan Lin wangfei2; asking prime minister to please remember your status. The charge of offending your superior is not something prime minister can afford!¡±
¡®Kuang......¡¯
The door mmed as if it¡¯s showing its owner¡¯s anger. Murong Tai looked at the door with a dark face, but because it¡¯s he who pushed Murong Qi Qi into the pit of fire, he suppressed his anger.
¡°Daddy, don¡¯t get angry. Maybe, little sister is too happy!¡±
Murong Xin Lian cleverly came to Murong Tai¡¯s side andforted him in a soft voice.
¡°That¡¯s right. What Xin er3 said is right. She is happy, is happy!¡±
With Murong Xin Lian giving him a way out of an embarrassing moment, Murong Tai returned to normal quickly. But after seeing the traces of a whip on Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face, Murong Tai frowned.
¡°Your face?¡±
¡°It¡¯s third little sister who wanted to learn martial arts and let me teach her. It¡¯s daughter who didn¡¯t know how to teach, so, so......
Murong Xin Lian covered her face. She only said half, the other half she left it to Murong Tai¡¯s imagination.
¡°Humph! She is just like that!¡±
After knowing that the scars on Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face were made by Murong Qi Qi, the guilt that Murong Tai had felt for third daughter decreased.
Anyway, it¡¯s not a bad thing to have a rubbish married off. Staying at home would take up ce and also stir up trouble. Moreover, such a person like Feng Cang marrying a rubbish; in the future, Feng family¡¯s bloodline will have half of his Murong family¡¯s blood. This let Murong Tai feel a small amount of pleasure from revenge.
Feng Xie, you took away Shui er¡¯s heart. Laofu will let this rubbish scourge the whole Feng n!
Thinking till here, Murong Tai¡¯s mood is excellent. And after seeing Murong Xin Lian look at Longze Jing Tian with a pair of eyes that were full of feelings, Murong Tai¡¯s brain turned and got a good idea. Therefore, he didn¡¯t care that Murong Xin Lian¡¯s looks were currently damaged and took her to Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Wangye, this is this prime minister¡¯s second daughter Murong Xin Lian. Xin Lian, quickly pay respect to wangye!¡±
¡°Your subject¡¯s daughter greets wangye!¡±
The handsome man in front of her is the one she¡¯s fancied for a long time, Jing wang. Murong Xin Lian¡¯s little heart suddenly began to thump hard. Her face is also burning really hot.
Definitely must leave a good impression on Longze Jing Tian. Definitely must use my beauty to keep him!
Murong Xin Lain paid her respect shyly but unexpectedly, the moment her knees bent, the clothes on her body tore open like snowkes. Even her undergarments turned into patches of red petals flying away. When Murong Xin Lian got up, she was standing without anything on her body in front of Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Ah.......¡±
Murong Xin Lian turned red from shyness. Her hands immediately covered her chest. After that, she felt that it¡¯s still not right. She immediately turned around and is now facing Longze Jing Tian with her back. But as soon as she turned around, standing in front of her was a eunuch. Murong Xin Lian wanted to die and fainted.
¡°Xin Lian, Xin Lian!¡±
Murong Tai suddenly shouted, but he didn¡¯t have any intention to step forward and support her.
Seeing that the red-faced Murong Xin Lian was stiffly falling onto him, Longze Jing Tian felt that no matter if he caught her or not, it wouldn¡¯t be right, so he can only take off his outer garments and quickly wrap it around Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Miss, are you alright?¡±
Don¡¯t know if Murong Xin Lian really fainted or had pretended to faint. She let Longze Jing Tian shout and didn¡¯t make a sound and continued to nestle in his embrace, making it so that he had no way out of this dilemma.
¡°Oh......¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a nce. The two dragged Fei Cui away.
Only after Murong Tai and the others had left did Murong Qi Qie out of the room. To her surprise, Murong Jun hadn¡¯t left and was still in Cui Zhu yuan4. The words he said were even more surprising.
¡°Third little sister, are you really going to marry Nan Lin wang? His image isn¡¯t very good.¡±
¡°Big brother, the decree has been sent, what can I do now?¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled faintly. This brother¡¯s performance today let her have some admiration.
¡°Today, thanks big brother for helping.¡±
¡°You and I are biological siblings, no need to be polite. Moreover, third little sister also helped me.¡±
Murong Jun¡¯s words were right to the point, he didn¡¯t say any more or less.
¡°For the offences of the past, asking third little sister to please forgive me. Although I¡¯m yful and unruly, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t distinguish between the good and the bad. What happened today is what I had to do. Third little sister doesn¡¯t need to put it in your heart!¡±
The siblings made eye contact and understood each other¡¯s meaning.
Murong Jun stayed for a moment longer and then left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned: ¡°Third little sister, in the future, if fourth little sister goes overboard and offends you, please spare her.¡±
So it turned out that Murong Jun knew that Su Mei did something to Murong Xin Lian¡¯s clothes. Murong Qi Qi only chuckled: ¡°Big brother, my motto has always been ¡®if people don¡¯t bother me, I don¡¯t bother them¡¯.
¡°I understand.¡±
Murong Jun sighed heavily. Murong Qi Qi said it so straightforwardly; he could only hope that his little sister would behave a little. This third little sister is not as weak as she seemed. He¡¯s afraid that she is the best out of the whole Murong n.......
In just one night, the wind changed. Murong Qi Qi transformed into an imperial princess & Nan Lin wangfei while Murong Xin Lian has be Jing wang¡¯s cefei5.
¡°Miss, I didn¡¯t expect that I ruined her clothes only to have her achieve her dream! But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already let out rumors. Now the whole capital knows that Jing wang broke off the engagement for Murong Xin Lian. They have long had an affair. Murong Xin Lian stole her little sister¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Now her reputation really stinks. Of course, Longze Jing Tian is also no better! Humph! Who let them bully miss?!¡±

Chapter 29: Begonia¡¯s Spring Sleep
begonnia
Begonia
In Cui Zhu yuan, 1 Su Mei radiated with delight. Murong Qi Q had said when doing things, you need to use your brains, don¡¯t always go fight and kill. So she also learned these.
¡°Very good!¡±
Murong Qi Qi threw a milk white jade dragon at Su Mei.
¡°Longze Jing Tian still owes me five hundred thousand silver taels. You go get it. Remember, I only want bank biljets!¡±
Su Mei touched the jade and looked at Murong Qi Qi. She had heard from her miss about the encounter with Longze Jing Tian in the forest. Going to collect a debt at this time is most appropriate.
¡°Miss, then I¡¯ll go now!¡±
After receiving themand, Su Mei left xiang fu 2 cheerfully.
As Su Mei appeared in front of Jing wangfu, 3
one of the four great families Baifu 4 also received an unfamiliar guest.
¡°Tong Bao Zhai?¡±
Tong Bao Zhai is the ce where they sell jewelry. It is the jewelry store of Guang Hua gongzi
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Bai Mu Fei was stunned for a moment. They didn¡¯t have any business going on with Tong Bao Zhai. He didn¡¯t know why the shopkeeper of Tong Bao Zhao hade to visit. But in this world, he¡¯s afraid that there¡¯s no one who would refuse Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s 5 Tong Bao Zhai.
¡°Pleasee in!¡±
The one who came in was a forty-something middle-aged man. His face was dark of color and he¡¯s slim. When he saw Bai Mu Fei, he came forward and bowed: ¡°Bai gongzi!¡±
¡°Shopkeeper Fang!¡±
Bai Mu Fei politely bowed back. He immediately let someone pour tea. He didn¡¯t dare to show the slightest neglect.
Fang Kui sat down. The attendant behind him put a sandalwood box on the table.
¡°Bai gongzi, I will not talk in rounds. Today, I came to your fu because our family¡¯s gongzi¡¯smanded me to give this box of jewelry to miss Bai.¡±
Bai Mu Fei was even more surprised by Fang Kui¡¯s words. Which jewelry from Tong Bao Zhai was not hard to find and couldn¡¯t even be bought with money? Now he¡¯s giving a full box to Bai Yi Yue. What did Guang Hua gongzi mean by this? Could it be that he took a fancy to little sister?
The way Bai Mu Fei thought seemed to be within Fang Kui¡¯s expectations. He stroked his beard while smiling.
¡°Bai gongzi doesn¡¯t need to think more of it. It¡¯s just that my family¡¯s gongziowes miss Bai a favor. Now, he¡¯s just repaying a debt.¡±
¡°Repaying a debt?¡±
Now Bai Mu Fei didn¡¯t understand it even more. When did little sister help Guang Hua gongzi? Why didn¡¯t he know about it? Even though he thought like this, he still let the servant go call Bai Yi Yue.
Today, Princess Ping Yang Longze Yu Er also happens to visit Bai fu. Since she did not have to go chongxi for demon wang, Longze Yu Er¡¯s mood was very good. As to why she came to Bai fu, it¡¯s because of Bai Mu Fei.
Ping Yang is her title as princess. Longze Yu Er is her given name
The family that Duanmu Qing had taken a fancy to as Longze Yu Er¡¯s husband is the Bai family. The Bai family is really rich, they had plenty of money. If Longze Yu Er be Bai family¡¯s first daughter-inw, in the future if her (DQ) son got the throne and needs money, she don¡¯t need to be afraid that the Bai family would be stingy!
¡°Actually, I think third miss Murong is very pitiful.¡±
After seeing Longze Yu Er¡¯s happiness, Bai Yi Yue said her thoughts.
¡°After all, there are too many rumors about Feng Cang. A girl marrying to another country is not something that an ordinary woman would be able to bear.¡±
¡°Bai Yi Yue, what do you mean, ah?¡±
Seeing Bai Yi Yue take Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, Longze Yu Er is unhappy.
¡°If she doesn¡¯t go, could it be that you want bengong 6 to marry demon wang?Don¡¯t you know the fate of those women who married demon wang? Do you want bengong to die tragically on the wedding night, ah?!¡±
Bai Yi Yue is already ustomed to Longze Yu Er¡¯s craftiness, but she won¡¯t bow down just because the other party is a princess.
¡°Princess, everyone is born from a mother and father. They didn¡¯t pop out of a stone. Now that third miss is going to Bei Zhou in your ce, you should be thankful instead. Yue er7 never had those thoughts that princess said and only described the facts.¡±
¡°You......¡±
Longze Yu Er was so angry that she gritted her teeth in rage. She is a princess, why did Bai Yi Yue whisk her face everytime like this! Seeing Bai Yi Yue¡¯s calm expression, Longze Yu Er felt her anger rise.
Humph! For now, bengong will let you be. After bengong marries into Bai family and bes your sister-inw, you¡¯ll see!
Just then, the servant Bai Mu Fei had sent broke the heavy atmosphere. After hearing that Tong Bao Zhai had gifted Bai Yi Yue a box of jewelry, Longze Yu Er immediately put the unhappiness in the back of her mind. Instead, she acted like she is the one who had received the gift: ¡°Where is it, escort bengong?!¡±
When she entered the main hall and saw the box next to Fang Kui, she immediatelymanded him to open the box.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, our gongzi said that this box of jewelry is for miss Bai. Only miss Bai can personally open it!¡±
Her face being torn in public, immediately made Longze Yu Er¡¯s expression turn dark. Fang Kui¡¯s eyes leaped over the princess in front of him and kindly looked at Bai Yi Yue, who had appearedst.
¡°Greeting to miss Bai! To express his gratitude to miss¡¯s helping hand, our family¡¯s gongzi specially designed this set of ¡®Begonia¡¯s spring sleep¡¯ and asked this little one to give it to miss as miss¡¯s sixteenth birthday gift.¡±
Fang Kui opened the box in front of Bai Yi Yue. Immediately, only the sound of breaths being drawn out could be heard. Stars appeared in the eyes of all the women present. Even Bai Mu Fei as a man had no choice but to admire the superb skills and sophisticated design.
¡°How beautiful!¡±
Longze Yu Er reached out and wanted to touch, but was stopped by Fang Kui.
¡°Princess, this set of jewelry is very precious!¡±
The hidden meaning was, you don¡¯t break it.
This time, Longze Yu Er got angry: ¡°What about bengong taking a look at it? What a bad toy!¡±
Fang Kui didn¡¯t get angry because of Longze Yu Er¡¯s inappropriate words. Instead, he put the box in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hands.
¡°Behind every jewelry, there¡¯s miss¡¯s maiden name engraved on them. Our family¡¯s gongzi said Tong Bao Zhai won¡¯t make a second set of this jewelry. Asking miss Bai to be rest assured. In this world, there won¡¯t ever appear the same set of jewelry. If there is, it will surely be an imitation.¡±
Born in the richest family, Bai Yi Yue only lived in brocade garments and jade meals.
Brocade garments and jade meals: a life of luxury.
What kind of good things had she not seen? But she still was deeply attracted to this set of ¡®Begonia¡¯s spring sleep¡¯ in front of her. Just with one nce, she knew that this was the highest quality of suet jade. Such a big expense, such fine jewelry, was it really for her? Bai Yi Yue couldn¡¯t believe it.
¡°Is such a precious gift really for me? With all respect, Yue er doesn¡¯t remember having ever seen Guang Hua gongzi. Let alone ever helping him. Could it be that Guang Hua gongzi remembered wrongly? If it¡¯s like this, Yueer cannot ept this gift because it¡¯s really too precious!¡±
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s words were very sincere. Seeing her this way, Fang Kui was very pleased. The way miss sees people was really good. This miss Bai is indeed worthy to be friends with!
¡°Miss, be assured, our family¡¯s gongzi didn¡¯t remember wrongly. It¡¯s just that miss has a good heart and inadvertently did something good and didn¡¯t remember it. But to our family¡¯s gongzi, meeting miss by chance and miss speaking out for justice is the most valuable! Please be assured!¡±
After seeing Bai Yi Yue inadvertently getting Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s full set of jewelry, Longze Yu Er¡¯s eyes almost fell out from envy. No! She is a princess, why does Bai Yi Yue have it and she doesn¡¯t?
Thinking till here, Longze Yu Er stood in front of Fang Kui. She put one hand on her hip and pointed the other hand at him: ¡°Hey, go back and say to your family¡¯s whatever gongzi, bengong also wants a set of jewelry and it also needs to be unique! Let him make it quickly for bengong! By that time,bengong will reward him heavily!¡±

Chapter 30: Ce Wangfei
Chapter 30: Ce Wangfei
Longze Yu Er¡¯s overbearing manner made Bai Mu Fei and Fang Kuifrown at the same time. Bai Mu Fei didn¡¯t say anything, but Fang Kui couldn¡¯t let someone speak like this about his master.
¡°Even if princess can pay, it also depends on whether or not our family¡¯s gongzi 1 is in the mood. Not to mention.......¡±
Fang Kui looked at Longze Yu Er from head to toe: ¡°Looking at princess¡¯ worth, I fear that you cannot afford it.¡±
¡°What did you say? Did you say that bengong 2 doesn¡¯t have any money?¡±
Being the high-above princess, when has Longze Yu Er ever been mocked like this?
¡°What bengong has is plenty of money. Say, how much do you want?¡±
¡°Hehe......¡±
Seeing Longze Yu Er acting so ignorant, Fang Kui sneered.
¡°Just the material of this set of ¡®Begonia¡¯s spring sleep¡¯ in miss Bai¡¯s hand is worth ten thousand golden teals, not includingbor, product price and appreciation potential. Only this, princess is already unable to afford it. Moreover, even if princess is willing to sacrifice everything you have and is somehow able to get the money, our family¡¯s gongzi may be unwilling to do it. After all, there are only very few people who can get in my family¡¯sgongzi¡¯s eyes. Princess can have less of these ideas, so as not to be a joke!¡±
¡°You!¡±
Fang Kui not giving her face, made Longze Yu Er flip out on the spot: ¡°Servants! Kill this bastard! Seal Tong Bao Zhai! Everywhere beneath the sky is the imperial family¡¯s; around each corner, there are imperial officials.Bengong doesn¡¯t believe that a small Tong Bao Zhai can defy bengong¡¯mand!¡±
¡°Ha ha ha!¡±
Hearing Longze Yu Er¡¯s words, Fang Kuiughed out loud: ¡°Don¡¯t need to trouble princess! From this day forward, there¡¯s no longer a Tong Bao Zhai in Xi Qi country. My family¡¯s gongzi has already moved Tong Bao Zhai to another country. The gift for miss Bai is our family¡¯s gongzi¡¯sst work in Xi Qi country.¡±
After saying this, Fang Kui bowed respectfully to Bai Mu Fei and Bai Yi Yue: ¡°Our family¡¯s gongzi said to thank you two for your former care. Today, he has repaid miss Bai; in the future, he will surely send a big gift for Bai gongzi. The task gongzi gave this little one has been fulfilled. I won¡¯t stay any longer and will take my leave!¡±
After just a ¡®take my leave¡¯, Fang Kui and the attendant disappeared in front of everyone.
Level eight martial artist! Bai Mu Fei was really shocked. Such a person is actually willing to be Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s subordinate and be a small shopkeeper. Then what kind of stunning figure is that Guang Hua gongzi?!
When the imperial guards of the capital arrived at Tong Bao Zhai, it was empty. Because princess Ping Yang wanted to close down Tong Bao Zhai, Tong Bao Zhai became the new topic. Miss Bai getting the set of ¡®Begonia¡¯s spring sleep¡¯, Jing wang 3 breaking off the engagement andMurong Qi Qi marrying to a far awaynd became the hottest topics in the capital.
At this point, the gloomiest person was none other than Jing wang Longze Jing Tian. With great difficulty, he was able to get rid of Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect that instead, he would be bound by Murong Xin Lian.
What Murong Tai said the moment he opened his mouth was about killing Murong Xin Lian. A woman¡¯s body had been seen by another, no one would be willing to marry her. Such an immoral thing, it¡¯s really a shame to the family. Holding a life in his hand, he forced Longze Jing Tian into agreeing to let Murong Xin Lian be a cefei4.
The second Longze Jing Tian nodded, Murong Tai immediately went into the pce to get the emperor¡¯s approval. Soon afterwards, he let a small carriage directly send Murong Xin Lian to Jing wangfu5.
Now, Murong Xin Lian has already be Longze Jing Tian¡¯s official ce wangfei. Without a reason, the wangfu got one more woman, which madeLongze Jing Tian feel extremely irritable.
It just so happened that at that time, Du Xian Er had sent someone over with the jade pendant to get the five hundred thousand silver teals. After getting the money, the other party kept saying: ¡°the greatest wish of our family¡¯s miss in this lifetime is ¡®willing to get one person¡¯s heart
till their hairs be white and still unwilling to be apart¡¯. Since wangyealready has a gentle and charming bride, don¡¯t put on that kind of infatuated expression anymore. Deceiving another¡¯s feelings is a small thing, but dying our family¡¯s miss¡¯ marriage is big trouble!¡±
Don¡¯t know where Du Xian Er got such an eloquent girl. Every word was able to choke people to death but Longze Jing Tian was unable to do something to the other party. After all, she¡¯s Du Xian Er¡¯s confidante. He still wanted to marry Du Xian Er and make her his wangfei. He couldn¡¯t offend the people around her.
¡°Wangye, I lost her.¡±
Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Longze Jing Tian. His head was lowered and he¡¯s waiting to be reprimanded. He was originally following Su Mei and didn¡¯t expect that the other party knew the capital very well. Just two blocks and she put him behind her.
¡°Asking wangye for punishment!¡±
¡°Her people, naturally......¡±
Everything was within Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expectations. Such a woman who was clear as ice and clean as jade, the people around her were naturally not bad. But she misunderstood him,
didn¡¯t want to see him, what can he do?
After thinking for a long time, Longze Jing Tianmanded: ¡°Du Xian Er is surely inside the capital. Lu Yuan, send people to investigate. You must find out Du Xian Er¡¯s whereabouts. Benwang 6 doesn¡¯t want her to misunderstand. Benwang must clearly exin it to her in person.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Regarding wangye¡¯s infatuation, Lu Yuan could only sigh in secret. It¡¯s just that she wants to hide with all her heart, so how will they be able to find her?!
Outside the study, Lu Ye stopped Murong Xin Lian, who hade to visitLongze Jing Tian while carrying a tray of food.
¡°Ce wangfei, wangye has something to do and doesn¡¯t want to be bothered.¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Murong Xin Lian was somewhat disappointed. She lifted her eyes to look at the closed door. Her wish had finallye true. Although it¡¯s only acefei, Murong Xin Lian was confident that with her wisdom and beauty, she would surely be able to seize Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart. But yesterday night, Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯te to her ce. In other words, Longze Jing Tian just gave her a ce to live in the wangfu and didn¡¯t have any other thoughts about her. This made Murong Xin Lian a bit worried.
Seizing a man¡¯s heart or giving birth to an offspring. This was the method Murong Xin Lian¡¯s mother Zheng Min had once taught her! Not getting love? Then, must have a son to fall back on. Only then could a woman be considered to have something to look
forward to.
No, no, it can¡¯t be like this! Cannot admit defeat easily like this!
Murong Xin Lian took a deep breath. She just came into the wangfu. There would be ample time. She cannot be impatient. Impatience will botch things. After all, she has plenty of time! Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart, she wants! Son, she wants! The seat of wangfei, she also wants! What women deserve or not deserve, she wants them all!
¡°This is the green bean lily soup I personally stewed. Troubling you to send it to wangye. I will go back now!¡±
Murong Xin Lian let the maid next to her put down the food container. From beginning to end, her face showed a soft smile. There isn¡¯t any trace of anger.
¡°I will go back! Sorry to trouble you!¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s attitude towards this new ce wangfei, Lu Yuan and Lu Ye, who followed him, knew very well. Originally, Lu Ye thought that after Murong Xin Lian heard that Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t want to see her, she would get angry and put up airs. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party was so pleasant. This made Lu Ye have some good feelings towards this ce wangfei. He picked up the food container and walked in.
¡°Benwang doesn¡¯t like sweets, you guys eat!¡±
Longze Jing Tian frowned and pushed the food container away.
¡°In the future, if she sends more, you eat them all. Benwang doesn¡¯t want to see it.¡±
For ten consecutive days, regardless of the weather, every afternoon Murong Xin Lian would personally send a pot of soup for Longze Jing Tian. The result was that all of it went to the two brothers from Lu family and she didn¡¯t know.
And during these ten days, from Bei Zhou came the news that Nan Lin wang Feng Cang would personallye to Xi Qi to escort wangfei to Bei Zhou. And he sent an aunt who knew etiquette very well to teach Bei Zhou¡¯s court etiquette to Murong Qi Qi. He also sent a multi-talented master to travel with the aunt, mainly to teach the future Nan Lin wangfei Bei Zhou¡¯snguage and customs.

Chapter 31 Feng Cang¡¯s Mass Line

Cui Zhu yuan 1 was filled with the gifts Feng Cang had sent over from Bei Zhou. From clothes and jewelries to home decorations. He even sent snacks from Bei Zhou. In short, everything a wangfei 2 should have, Feng Cang had prepared them all.
¡°Princess is really beautiful, wearing our Bei Zhou¡¯s clothing!¡±
Feng Yu stood in front of Murong Qi Qi with a face full of glee. Feng Yu is the aunt Feng Cang sent. She¡¯s Feng family¡¯s servant. Only because her family had shown loyalty, generation after generation, that she was bestowed the surname ¡®Feng¡¯.
Through living together these past few days, Feng Yu had be very satisfied with Murong Qi Qi, this future Nan Lin wangfei. The same etiquette,Feng Yu only needed to show it once, Murong Qi Qi would learn it very well. No need to show it a second time.
Feng Yu had seen many nobledies in Bei Zhou, but she¡¯d never met one who learned so quickly. Just after a few days, Feng Yu felt that whatever she knew,Murong Qi Qi now knew. She¡¯s nearly bing useless.
¡°No matter what our miss wears, it¡¯ll look good!¡±
Su Mei had high expectations for the future guye3. At least for now, Su Mei was very satisfied about the attitude Feng Cang showed towards Murong Qi Qi. Besides, this guye seemed really attentive. Even her and Su Yue¡¯s clothes have been prepared. It seemed that this guye really knew how to ¡®follow the mass line¡¯!
Su Yue really liked Bei Zhou¡¯s clothes. The upper half and bottom half were separated. Bei Zhou¡¯s folk were also not as strict as the south. Women could ride a horse and y football. This was really to Su Yue¡¯s personality.
¡°Although miss is very beautiful when wearing a dress, but wearing Bei Zhou¡¯s clothes makes miss look more valiant and easy going!¡±
Su Yue¡¯s evaluation was very fair.
¡°Aunt Feng Yu, these few days have been a trouble for you to teach me, thank you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi respectfully thanked Feng Yu ording to Bei Zhou¡¯s etiquettes.
¡°Aiyo, princess, what are you doing?! Such a big etiquette, I won¡¯t be able to ept it!¡±
Feng Yu quickly helped Murong Qi Qi up.
¡°These are what this ve should do. Princess shouldn¡¯t be like this anymore in the future. If outsiders see it, it¡¯ll be bad for princess. You are the futurewangfei. This ve is always just a ve. Should pay attention to the hierarchy!¡±
¡°Aunt Feng Yu, there are no outsiders now. Could it be that aunt wants to tell other people?!¡±
Su Yue smiled while looking at aunt Feng Yu.
¡°Our family¡¯s miss is thanking aunt sincerely. Aunt, don¡¯t refuse it!¡±
Although Su Yue said it very reasonably, but Feng Yu still didn¡¯t dare to be so rash. Before she came, Feng Cang said a thousand times to let her serveMurong Qi Qi well. Feng Yu had stayed at wangfu4 for so long and had never seen Feng Cang care so much about a miss. Even to Bei Zhou¡¯s Princess Bao Zhu and the number one talented woman Mu Yu Die, wangye5 didn¡¯t show a good face.
Earlier, Feng Yu still had some doubts about this bestowed princess, the future Nan Lin wangfei, but after getting along these past few days, Feng Yu felt thatFeng Cang¡¯s eyes were very good.
Although Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks were ordinary, but she¡¯s agile and intelligent. Her personality was generous and gentle. Just with learning Bei Zhou¡¯snguage, the teacher had only taught for three days and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ent scared the teacher so much that he nearly kowtowed to let Murong Qi Qi be his teacher.
With such a pleasant person next to wangye, presumably wangye will get better soon!
How could Feng Yu know that the so-called Bei Zhou¡¯snguage was exactly the same as Mandarin of the future. For Murong Qi Qi, this was a piece of cake.
Only speaking after learning for three days was because Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to scare the teacher, but she didn¡¯t expect that she would still frighten the teacher. The teacher kept saying ¡®princess is talented¡¯. Su Mei and Su Yueturned him into a joke.
¡°Miss, it is time for the teaching.¡±
Su Yue looked at the time and reminded her.
The so-called teaching, aside from learning Bei Zhou¡¯snguage, there¡¯s also Bei Zhou¡¯s history.
The teacher Feng Cang sent was actually not over twenty-six years old. He¡¯s in fact a young talent named Nn Xin. After Murong Qi Qi opened her mouth to speak Bei Zhou¡¯snguage and scared Nn Xin, the ss ofnguage was skipped. Nn Xin began to teach Murong Qi Qi Bei Zhou¡¯s history.
Nn Xin didn¡¯t know with what words he could describe this student. Have to say, this princess Zhao Yang is exceptionally intelligent. Just with some teaching, she¡¯s able to learn by analyzing. Originally, Nn Xin didn¡¯t understand why wangye chose Murong Qi Qi, but now he totally understood.Wangye was insightful and saw a pearl. Only such a glowing pearl is worthy ofFeng Cang.
¡°Da Lu has four countries: Bei Zhou, Xi Qi, Nan Feng and Dong Lu. Dong Lu country is the oldest. From the beginning of its dynasty till now, it¡¯s already 238 years.¡±
¡°Bei Zhou, Xi Qi and Nan Feng formed 25 years ago. At that time for some reason, the then great general Wanyan Zhi upied the north and established Bei Zhou. The minister of personnel Longze Lan established Xi Qi. Guo Zhang Ming unknowingly established Nan Feng which resulted in the world being split into four!¡±
Nn Xin didn¡¯t know why Feng Cang wanted him to tell Murong Qi Qi about this. Murong Qi Qi is only a woman, why did she have to know so much? But this was Feng Cang¡¯smand, he could only follow it.
¡°Teacher, I heard that Dong Lu is not big. How did it exist for so long even when facing with other countries being usurped?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s question made Nn Xin nod approvingly. He had forgotten that just now, he¡¯d thought that Murong Qi Qi was just a woman and didn¡¯t need to know so much.
¡°Princess, Dong Lu is near the sea. Their maritime industry is very well developed and their rtionship with Peng Lai Ind is very good. Every empress of Dong Lu is a student of Peng Lai Ind. If the country is met with crisis, Peng Lai ind will definitelye forward to help.¡±
¡°Moreover, Dong Lu produces salt. Salt is somethingmoners must have. Although other countries have vastnd, but they still need Dong Lu for salt.¡±
¡°Peng Lai Ind?¡±
Murong Qi Qi thought of the legendary Peng Lai fairnd, but this Peng Lai Ind was not the same as the one in the legend.
Nn Xin especially took a day off to tell her about Peng Lai Ind. He heard that over there, martial experts were as much as clouds. The great purple level seven experts from Da Lu are just small level disciples at Peng Lai Ind.
If there¡¯s really such a ce, I really need to find an opportunity to go take a look! As Murong Qi Qi is thinking, Peng Lai Ind made all thebative cells on her body jump. Don¡¯t know with her current ability, what position she would get in Peng Lai Ind?
In a house in the capital, Feng Yu and Nn Xin were standing respectfully behind a man in white clothes. One hand was holding a container with fish food, the other hand tossed the fish food in the pond in front of him, attracting a group of koi.
koi
Koi
¡°Oh? Wangfei performed so well?¡±
After listening to the two¡¯s report, Feng Cang¡¯s mouth showed a smile.
¡°It seems that this little wangfei is a somewhat unpredictable woman! It was hard on you two!¡±
The happiness revealed inside Feng Cang¡¯s words was sincere. Feng Yu andNn Xin lowered their heads slightly to express their respect to this man in front of them. Being able to make wangye happy, they were also happy. But all of these were thanks to Murong Qi Qi.
1. Yuan: mansion/residence
2. Wangfei: the wife of the wangye
3. Guye: son inw/ als used by the servants of the female¡¯s family
4. Wangfu: residence of a wangye
5. Wangye: prince of the first rank
Chapter 32 A man’s small selfishheart
Chapter 32 A man¡¯s small selfishheart
¡°What about those few flies? Did they go look for wangfei1 recently?¡±
Feng Cang handed the fish food container over to Ji Xiang next to him and took the wet towel from Ru Yi to wipe his hands.
Seeing Feng Cang uses ¡®flies¡¯ to describe Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji, Feng Yu and Nn Xin felt that this master eating such ¡®vinegar¡¯ is a bit too baffling.
Eating vinegar: getting jealous.
The two just came to visit after hearing wangfei has to marry for peace, but has immediatelybelled as ¡®flies¡¯ who has malicious thoughts on Murong Qi Qi. And they (FY&NX) couldn¡¯t help but y the role of ¡®fly swatter¡¯, shutting the door for all of the opposite sex who came to visit wangfei.
¡°Wangye2, rest assured. I watched wangfei tightly. I will not let others covet wangfei.¡±
Because Feng Cang has been brought up by Feng Yu, that¡¯s why she is different from other servants in front of Feng Cang. Feng Cang respects her very much.
With Feng Yu¡¯s words, Feng Cang feels more assured.
He seems a bit too sensitive, but the lighting from his little wangfei is so eye catching. He must make her his before others notice her uniqueness. That¡¯s right, make her his. Hid her under his wings! Carefully protect her, making her belong exclusively to him!
If Feng Cang¡¯s monologue is heard by the people next to him, they will faint. Is he still their cool, astute, wise and deity like Nan Lin wang? Why is he like a child who has encountered his favorite toy? Childish to the extreme!
Feng Cangmanded some more things. It¡¯s nothing more than the same old tune. Protect Murong Qi Qi. Can¡¯t let people bully her etc.
Nn Xin eximed in his heart. Wang is really too worried. At least getting along for such a short time, he felt that Murong Qi Qi is not someone weak! It¡¯s just why can¡¯t wang see it? Can this be the so called concern will cause chaos of the mind?
After Feng Yu and Nn Xin left, Jin Mo came in carrying a bowl of thick ck medicine.
¡°Wang, time to drink medicine.¡±
¡°Jin Mo, are you sure this is not revenge? Why do I feel that recently the medicine is especially bitter?¡±
Looking at the thick medicine, smelling the pungent taste, Feng Cang frowned.
¡°You surely must¡¯vee to collect a debt! You suffered at the hands of my little wangfei and couldn¡¯t do anything to her, so that¡¯s why you are giving me a hard time!¡±
¡°Wangye, just drink the medicine!¡±
Jin Mo took out a small bottle and poured out a spoon of yellow medicine powder. He handed it to Feng Cang.
¡°If you still want to get the girl, take the medicine! If you don¡¯t care about your body, after you die, she can only be a widow!¡±
Hearing Jin Mo¡¯s words, Feng Cang can onlyugh bitterly. The poisonous tongue of this person who followed him for ten years, Feng Cang has experiences it so many times that he is now used to it. He swallowed the powder medicine in one gulp. Feng Cang raised the bowl of ck medicine and swallowed it together.
Bitterness.......from Feng Cang¡¯s mouth, throat it spread till his stomach. Really bitter......
Putting down the bowl, Feng Cang rinsed his mouth. When a sweet date is in his mouth, did he feel morefortable. The words Jin Mo just said is still ringing in his ears, making his emotions go down. Seemingly at this matter he is a bit headstrong.
¡°Jin Mo, you say, am I a bit too selfish? Obviously I know that this body of mine will......but I still want to get her into my world.¡±
Seeing the unprecedented sadness in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, the disgust Jin Mo has for Murong Qi Qi went ayer deeper.
¡°Wang, how can you say that? I will definitely cure you!¡±
When has wang been like this? Since getting to know that girl, wang¡¯s emotions becameplicated. If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Cang cares about Murong Qi Qi and send Feng Yu and Nn Xin to protect her, Jin Mo would have already used any means to destroy her.
¡°Jin Mo......¡±
Feng Cang coughed twice. The chill in those distinct purple eyes is very strong. He calmly stared at Jin Mo. Word by word stabbed Jin Mo¡¯s heart: ¡°Don¡¯t touch her, otherwise I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
Jin Mo understood the intention to kill in Feng Cang¡¯s words. Feng Cang really got angry just because he showed hostility towards Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I know.¡±
Although unwilling, but Jin Mo still promised.
¡°But wang, did you think about empress dowager? The death of great general Feng and princess Ming Yue is rted to Xi Qi. Moreover, she is Murong Tai¡¯s daughter. That year at Yandang Mountain......¡±
¡°Jin Mo! As for imperial waizumu3, benwang4 will go talk to her. In the end what caused that matter of that year isn¡¯t known. Was it an insider job or other things? Benwang doesn¡¯t want to involve the innocent. She is the wangfei benwang recognizes. Naturally benwang will protect her!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Only when Feng Cang is angry will he use ¡®benwang¡¯. Jin Mo knows that his words reached Feng Cang¡¯s bottom line. Is not that he is afraid that Feng Cang will kill him. He is concerned that Feng Cang will refuse treatment. The hot humid weather of the south is not suitable to rest and recuperation. The sooner they go back, the better.
This trip to Xi Qi, Jin Mo is disappointed that he couldn¡¯t find this junior brother Lian gongzi 5 that master mentioned. Before he came, Jin Mo received master¡¯s letter. He said that his disciple Lian gongzi is a genius. If he can find Lian gongzi, maybe Feng Cang¡¯s disease will have the right approach and saves time. This made it that Jin Mo definitely must find Lian gongzi.
It¡¯s just that master¡¯s letter only has a few words and didn¡¯t mention more about Lian gongzi, making it so that Jin Mo till now doesn¡¯t know much about this little junior brother.
The only information he got is that Murong Qi Qi and Lian gongzi know each other. Don¡¯t know if he can find a breakthrough through that......
¡°Wang, I want to take time off to see wangfei to ask her about my junior brother. ording to reliable sources, that day Murong Qi Qi gave Duanmu Qing the having children pill. It¡¯s made by my junior brother. They definitely know each other. Besides the anesthetic Murong Qi Qi coated on the dagger that day, Jin Mo has never heard and seen such anesthetic before. I¡¯m certain that it has something to do with my junior brother.¡±
Jin Mo had carefully studied the anesthetic on his wound, but in the end he didn¡¯t find anything. If such an anesthetic is used in the medical field, when giving medical treatment, the patient won¡¯t feel so much pain anymore. This is also why Jin Mo wants to know the ingredients of the anesthetic.
¡°No need, the future is long.¡±
Feng Cangzilyy down. The medicine is beginning to take effect. He began to feel dizzy.
Hearing Feng Cang saying that, Jin Mo knows that Feng Cang is still guarding against him, worrying that he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold himself and do something to Murong Qi Qi. Wangye actually cares about her so much, making Jin Mo ask the question that has been hovering in his mind for quite a long time.
¡°Wang, why is it her? In this world there are many women more beautiful than her. There are more talented women than her. There are many women more noble than her. There are many women more intelligent than her. Why is it her? Jin Mo thinks that a worthier person should apany wang!¡±
¡°Haha......¡±
Why? Feng Cang also has asked himself that question. Just thinking about that girl casual and lofty appearance under the moonlight, he will feel that in his heart there¡¯s a sun slowly rising. Presumably it¡¯s the light emitting from her which attracted him! Just one look, he is set for life.
¡°Jin Mo, as time goes by, you will know.¡±
Feng Cang closed his eyes. His face has the color of jade. Seeing that Feng Cang doesn¡¯t want to say anymore, Jin Mo covered the nket for Feng Cang and quietly left.
Ten years. These ten years he followed Feng Cang and witnessed too many things. He can only obey Feng Cang¡¯s insistence.
If Murong Qi Qi is really as Feng Cang said, even if he needs to use all means, he will make Murong Qi Qi stay at Feng Cang¡¯s side. But if Murong Qi Qi is not worthy of wangye, even if she is the flesh of wangye¡¯s heart, he, Jin Mo will cut her with the sharpest knife!
1. Wangfei: wife of a wangye
2. Wangye: prince of first rank
3. Waizumu: maternal grandmother
4. Benwang: I used by a wangye/wang
5. Gongzi: young master/also used to refer an unmarried man

Chapter 33 Lake tour
Don¡¯t know who spread out Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®A nce at the mundane world¡¯. Now in the entire capital, no matter where you go, you will hear people hum: ¡°I¡¯m crying today but I¡¯llugh tomorrow. This is hard to exin and you don¡¯t know why I¡¯m so proud......¡±
When they got to know that this song was sung by chenxiangfu¡¯s 1 rubbish third miss, the whole capital was stunned. Plus, those rumors that Su Mei released before, everyone thought it¡¯s the truth!
It turned out that the evillest people are xiangfu¡¯s second miss and Jing wang 2 Longze Jing Tian! These two has long has a darkmitment and affair. It turned out that the most wronged person is third miss Murong!
Smarter people deduced many things from one case. Just thinking back at the rumors about Murong Qi Qi when she just returned to the capital, moving the brains a little, they guessed that it¡¯s second miss who let them out to deliberately ruin third miss¡¯s reputation! For a time, the citizens of the whole capital stood at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side without second thought.
¡°Is this song really made by Murong Qi Qi?¡±
When Longze Jing Tian heard people y ¡®A nce at the mundane world¡¯, he was surprised. Such a song, such a state of mind, is actually made by the Murong Qi Qi he abandoned? What kind of person is she? Why does he suddenly have some regret? Regretting to so easily gave her freedom......
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expression fell into Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes making her heart be grimmer. This Murong Qi Qi still hasn¡¯t dispersed!
Don¡¯t need to guess the happening of the outside. It must¡¯ve surely been done by her (MQQ)! What should she (MXL) do? If wangye gets interested in Murong Qi Qi, by then will her position not be affected? Although she wants to kill Murong Qi Qi, but Murong Xin Lian still hasn¡¯t recovered from using her inner energy that time. Using martial arts, won¡¯t be able to do it......However Murong Xin Lian grew up ying schemes. Just slightly moving her brains, she thought of a way to deal with Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangye, this song is really made by third little sister.¡±
Murong Xin Lain still maintained her loving and gentle appearance.
¡°Wangye, chenqie 3 really wants to invite two little sisters to tour on theke. Before, our sister¡¯s rtionship was very good. Now we are suddenly separated, I somewhat miss them.¡±
¡°Do as you like!¡±
With Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words, Murong Xin Lian sent out invitation to the four great families¡¯ misses and young masters. Not only that, Murong Xin Lian also invited princess Ping Yang, Longze Yu Er. This time she must let Murong Qi Qi lost face, utterly lost face!
¡°Miss, are you really going?¡±
Su Yue read the content of the invitation to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Of course!¡±
Murong Qi Qi picked up pieces of a white dress.
¡°Second big sister personally wrote the invitation, if I don¡¯t go won¡¯t it be like not giving her face?!¡±
When Murong Qi Qi arrived at the eastke with Su Yue, almost all the other people have arrived. After going on board, Murong Qi Qi met some acquaintances. She nodded at Li Yun Qing, Shangguan Wu Ji and Bai Mu Fei. Murong Qi Qi sat down on a ventted ce
As Jing wang¡¯s cefei, 4 Murong Xin Lian is dressed very grandiosely. She is Longze Jing Tian¡¯s first consort. Even if it¡¯s only a cefei, but the other princes are still young and hasn¡¯t married. Moreover, Jing wangfu 5 doesn¡¯t have a wangfei6, so Murong Xin Lian¡¯s status can be considered very high. Now shepletely looks like the hostess and made the arrangements.
On the boat the men sat at a side drinking wine. The women sat at the other side.
¡°Is miss Bai¡¯s hairpin made by Guang Hua gongzi7? How beautiful!¡±
When Duanmu Yi Yi saw the lifelike begonia flower, the envy in her eyes became apparent.
Sure enough, it¡¯s like how Murong Qi Qi predicted. Bai Yi Yue really suits such begonia flower.
¡°Really beautiful!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled at Bai Yi Yue. It¡¯s seems that her taste is very good.
¡°Ah, you also know it¡¯s beautiful?¡±
The moment Duanmu Yi Yi saw Murong Qi Qi she thought back about that night her tendons were cut. The eyes looking at Murong Qi Qi are bing more hostile.
¡°I thought you don¡¯t understand anything and is an idiot!¡±
¡®Pa......¡¯
Su Yue behind Murong Qi Qi rushed forward. She raised her hand and gave Duanmu Yi Yi a resounding p on the face. The boat turned quiet. Everyone looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side.
¡°You, you dare to hit me?!¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi turned frantic. One hand is covering her cheek, the other is pointing at Murong Qi Qi and Su Yue. Her finger is trembling.
¡°The one I hit is you,¡± Su Yue humphed. ¡°My family¡¯s miss is personally bestowed the title of princess Zhao Yang by the emperor, is Bei Zhou country¡¯s Nan Lin wangfei. If you still dare to speak so presumptuous then it won¡¯t be as simple as just pping, you!¡±
People couldn¡¯t pick thorns from Su Yue¡¯s words. When Duanmu Yi Yi is mocking Murong Qi Qi, her voice was very loud. Everyone on the boat heard it. If Murong Qi Qi really pursue the matter, then the one who will have to take the consequences will be Duanmu Yi Yi.
But being taught by such a girl, no matter what, Duanmu Yi Yi can¡¯t swallow this anger. She withdrew her sword and wanted to fight, but her ears heard Murong Qi Qi cold and leisurely voice: ¡°Can it be that miss Duanmu is feeling hot and want to go into theke for a bath?¡±
Don¡¯t know why, but this voice made Duanmu Yi Yi shiver. The weather is obviously very hot, why is she feeling so cold?!
A storm has been resolved by Murong Qi Qi, made Murong Xin Lian feel a bit cold. She immediately stood up and greeted everyone with a smile. But unexpectedly Longze Yu Er at a side opened her mouth gloomily: ¡°Princess Zhao Yang¡¯s temper is really big. Your maid even dare to hit the empress¡¯s niece!¡±
Her rtionship with Duanmu Yi Yi has always been good. Since the moment she knows that Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s hand has been hurt, sheined for her. Now she saw that Murong Qi Qi is so arrogant; hitting Duanmu Yi Yi in front of her, Longze Yu Er totally thinks that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give her face.
¡°Thanks for your praise! Bengong¡¯s 8 people are naturally different!¡±
Murong Qi Qi did as if she didn¡¯t hear the anger in Longze Yu Er¡¯s words.
¡°You.......¡±
Even Longze Yu Er didn¡¯t expect Murong Qi Qi to have such a thick face.
¡°Servants, drag this cheap maid out and give her twenty ps with the wooden stick,¡± said Longze Yu Er suddenly pointing at Su Yue.
¡°The reason?¡±
Murong Qi Qi is still leaning softly on the cushion with one hand propping her chin. She looked pollution free white rabbit and doesn¡¯t seem to be nervous for her maid.
¡°Bengong is unhappy seeing her. She hinders bengong¡¯s eyes, affects bengong¡¯s mood and made bengong lose appetite. You say, do these count as reason?¡±
After Longze Yu Er¡¯s voice fell, a grin appeared on Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s red and swollen face.
¡°Is still princess who is the best! Still noting to drag this cheap maid down?!¡±
¡°Hehe.......¡±
Not waiting for the people to move, Murong Qi Qiughed.
¡°A few days ago, the aunt who came to teach me etiquettes said wangye¡¯s body is not good. If chongxi,9 it¡¯s the best toe in pairs and asked if bengong has a suitable candidate. Today, bengong saw princess Ping Yang and miss Duanmu. I feel one of the two of you are a suitable candidate. Who should I tell wangye to choose? This is really giving me headache.......¡±
1. Chenxiangfu/ xiangfu: residence of the prime minister
2. Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
3. Chenqie: subject¡¯s wife/ I, used by the female of the imperial family when talking to someone from the imperial family
4. Cefei/ce wangfei: second ranked wife of the wangye
5. Wangfu: resdience of a wangye
6. Wangfei: main wife of a wangye
7. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer a famous unmarried man
8. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by the females of the imperial family
9. Chongxi: Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the ¡¯event of great joy¡¯ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery
Chapter 34 One laughter on azure water (1)
Chapter 34 Oneughter on azure water (1)
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words almost made Duanmu Yi Yi vomit blood. Who doesn¡¯t know Nan Lin wang¡¯s1 situation? Even if Murong Qi Qi went into a pit of fire herself, she shouldn¡¯t harm people like this.
The four great families know that Feng Cang sent people to teach Murong Qi Qi. Now everyone believes Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words even more. Immediately, Duanmu Yi Yi forgot the pain in her face. She hastened away from Longze Yu Er and sat far away from her.
¡°Looks like miss Duanmu forfeited, then bengong2can only rmend princess Ping Yang. But what do we do?! You and I are princesses. If we married together who will be the first wife and who will be the concubine?¡±
Murong Qi Qi pretended to have a headache. She thought for a long time and suddenly said: ¡°Aiya, how can bengong forget? On the letter the emperor write to Bei Zhou clearly has bengong¡¯s name. Since it¡¯s like this, princess can only feel a bit wronged and be the concubine!¡±
Longze Yu Er almost fainted from anger. She doesn¡¯t want to marry Feng Cang! Is because of this that Duanmu Qing pushed Murong Qi Qi out as the ¡®scapegoat¡¯! Marrying Feng Cang and also be the concubine, even if they beat her to death, she won¡¯t be willing!
¡°Murong Qi Qi, what is your motive?¡±
Now Longze Yu Er finally understood why Duanmu Yi Yi hate Murong Qi Qi so much; because she is really hateful!
¡°How is princess¡¯s mood right now? Is your appetite better? If you still feel ufortable, then my maid is really guilty. Doesn¡¯t princess want to beat my maid? Quickly go do it, otherwise her sin will be bigger!¡±
¡°Murong Qi Qi, you have guts!¡±
Knowing that Murong Qi Qi is threatening her because of Su Yue, Longze Yu Er gritted her teeth: ¡°Bengong is feeling very good now, very very good!¡±
¡°Being young is so good. Say feel good and you¡¯ll immediately feel good! Su Yue, quickly say thanks to princess!¡±
Su Yue suppressed herughter and walked to Longze Yu Er. She bowed: ¡°Su Yue thanks princess!¡±
This pair of master and servant is obviously bullying her, but Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words are put there. Longze Yu Er really worries that if she took Su Yue, Murong Qi Qi will use underhanded ways to deal with her. She can only gulp down this anger. The second round, Murong Qi Qi won again.
The women¡¯s liveliness reached the men¡¯s side. In their hearts a lot of people have a new assessment of Murong Qi Qi.
Ever since he heard that Murong Qi Qi needs to marry to Bei Zhou, Shangguan Wu Ji is very worried about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s situation. He wanted to go see her, but have been stopped at the door by the people of Bei Zhou. Now seeing the young girl¡¯s smile, Shangguan Wu Ji is happy for her, but he also feels somewhat at loss.
Such a fine woman needs to marry Feng Cang! This is what Shangguan Wu Ji can¡¯t ept. Speaking of this, great family Shangguan and Bei Zhou¡¯s Feng family have a blood feud.
Fifteen years ago, Xi Qi country and Bei Zhou county were at war at the border of Yangdang Mountain. Although it ended with Bei Zhou¡¯s defeat, but the truth is that 400000 Xi Qi¡¯s soldiers were beheaded by Bei Zhou¡¯s army. Countless people of Shangguan family died, including Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s grandfather and several uncles were killed in the battle.
Since young, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s dream is to be a great general to led Xi Qi¡¯s army against Bei Zhou to avenge the heroes of Shangguan family who died at that battle. But this dream hasn¡¯t had the time to realize yet and she is already leaving.
Just in a few days, Murong Qi Qi became the victim of the political battle and needs to marry to the far away Bei Zhou, marry Feng Cang. How can Shangguan Wu Ji ept his? After all, after all, this is the first time his heart moved for a woman, ah.......
Moreover, that year, the one who helped Xi Qi¡¯s army out of trouble is Murong Tai. Precisely because Murong Tai¡¯s reinforcement arrived on time, Feng Xie suffered defeat, princess Ming Yuemitted suicide to follow her husband. It can be considered that Murong Tai is Feng Cang¡¯s archenemy who killed his father and mother. Since it¡¯s like this, how can Feng Cang treat Murong Qi Qi well?
Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s expression is not good. Li Yun Qing expression isn¡¯t also very good. He promised to protect Murong Qi Qi. Now he sees that she has be a chest piece of someone else, but he is unable to change the oue, making him hate himself.
Murong Qi Qi still has a soft smile on, but in that soft smile there¡¯s stubbornness. It¡¯s this unyielding attitude makes Li Yun Qing feel more bitter. If, if he was one step earlier, will the oue be different?
For a time, the atmosphere on the boat became down. Murong Xin Lian seeing this immediately let the music y and let the dance girl perform to let the atmosphere go up. It¡¯s just that the song happens to be ¡®A nce at the mundane world¡¯, making the people who knows where this song came from feel more conflicted.
¡°Hearing this song once again reminded me of that day.¡±
Bai Mu Fei is the only one in this group whose mood is at peace.
¡°I¡¯m afraid that in the future we won¡¯t be able to hear such a good song anymore.¡±
Bai Mu Fei¡¯smenting has caught Murong Xin Lian: ¡°Third little sister, today¡¯s scenery is excellent, why don¡¯t you make a new song?! It as how young master Bai said, in the future when little sister marries too far away, the mountain is high and the road is long, we won¡¯t be able to hear little sister¡¯s voice anymore......¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s attitude is very sincere. Her expression was also at ce. She seemed to be very concerned about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s situation after she married to Bei Zhou. After all it the matter of Nan Lin wang being cursed and caused the death of his eight wives is a truth. It¡¯s still a question of if Murong Qi Qi will be able to survive the wedding night. Moreover, Feng family and Xi Qi country also has history......
If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qi Qi is familiar with Murong Xin Lian¡¯s nature, Murong Qi Qi felt that she is almost taken over by Murong Xin Lian¡¯s acting.
Because of Murong Xin Lian¡¯s words, the atmosphere on the boat turned more down. Even Duanmu Yi Yi who wasughing at Murong Qi Qi just now gave birth to a trace of pity. After all, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s life is more bitter than hers!
The only ones who didn¡¯t change are Longze Yu Er and Murong Qing Lian. The ironic smile on their lips revealed their thoughts. They couldn¡¯t wait for Murong Qi Qi to be finished.
¡°Deference is no substitute for obedience!¡±
Deference is no substitute for obedience: epting a request
Murong Qi Qi stood up. Murong Xin Lian has long guessed such a scene. Murong Qi Qi will never refuse. Seeing Murong Qi Qi walking into her trap, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes flickered with happiness. She let people prepare the instruments.
After the instruments has been brought up and there was no liuqin that Murong Xin Lian wants, Murong Xin Lian deliberately got angry: ¡°What? No liuqin? Why didn¡¯t you prepare liuqin? Princess Zhao Yang can only y the liuqin. She doesn¡¯t know how to y other instruments. How do you guys work?!¡±
liu qin
liuqin
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s voice is very loud. After hearing her words, Longze Yu Erughed: ¡°Xin Lian jiejie, don¡¯t me them! How can there be a liuqin at imperial big brother¡¯s boat? Only a cheap geisha will use liuqin. This is a wangye¡¯s boat and not amoner boat for geisha¡¯s.¡±
She means that it¡¯s not a pleasure boat
The two people coborated like one. Murong Qi Qi finally understand what Murong Xin Lian wants.
Liuqin is a musical instrument which can¡¯t be put on the table. In front of these imperial and noble families it¡¯s a shameful thing. On the surface, they are talking about liuqin, but in truth they are belittling Murong Qi Qi.
Longze Jing Tian has been watching Murong Qi Qi silently. The feelings that this girl gave him today is really too much. Longze Yu Er domineering and arrogant attitude is famous in the capital. She was actually able to be like a fox who exploited a tiger¡¯s might and quelled princess Ping Yang. This little woman is so brave.
fox who exploited a tiger¡¯s might: intimidated someone powerful
Now seeing Murong Xin Lian making things difficult for Murong Qi Qi, Longze Jing Tian is sitting still on the bench to watch. He wants to see how Murong Qi Qi will resolve this embarrassment.
1. Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
2. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by the females of the imperial family
Chapter 35 One laughter on azure water (2)
Chapter 35 Oneughter on azure water (2)
Women, ah! Give them a little sunlight and they will shine. Give them some rain and they will flood......
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any interest in the games that these women are ying, but just letting them make a fool out of her like this is not Murong Qi Qi¡¯s personality. She walked to the geisha and took over the guzheng.
¡°Let me borrow it for a while!¡±
guzheng
quzheng
Murong Qi Qi went with the guzheng to the front of the boat. She sat on the railing. She put down the guzheng and moved the strings.
¡°Isn¡¯t it that you can¡¯t......,¡± Murong Xin Lian saw Murong Qi Qi like that, her heart suddenly jumped. Can it be that today she again tried to be clever and end up with an egg in her face?
Try to be clever and end up with an egg in one¡¯s face: to overreach oneself
¡°It seems, that I have to disappoint you again,¡± Murong Qi Qi said with sarcasm. Her fingers moved over the strings. A ¡®Laughter on azure water¡¯ sounded.
Aughter on azure water ?????: Another song of the movie swordsman
¡°The blue sea isughing, the tidal waves are surging up on both shores
Drifting along with the waves, I only remember today
The blue sky isughing, the tidal waves of human society are numerous andplicated
Who will win, who will lose, only Heaven knows
The rivers and mountains areughing, the misty rain is far away
How many temporal affairs in human society have the waves erased?
The pure wind isughing, unexpectedly provoking feelings of loneliness
The magnanimous feelings still remain
Themon people areughing, no more loneliness
Yet the magnanimous feelings in me are stillughing crazily.........¡±
It is breezing. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ck hair was only held with a white hairband. The wind passed by. The ck hair on her forehead swayed with the wind, making her look like she was confident and at ease.
Suddenly a big breeze came. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s white dress blew with the sun. At this time, she took advantage of it and her voice turned louder as if she wants to went with the wind, making people want to reach out and grab but unable to reach her.
Why? Longze Jing Tian sped the jade cup in his hand. Why is there a voice now in his heart shouting: Keep her! She belongs to you! If you let her go, you¡¯ll regret it! Why is it like that? Why is such confidence and easygoingness appearing on a girl? Why is it that even though her looks are ordinary but his eyes are still attracted by her?
Li Yun Qing took out the jade flute and teamed up with Murong Qi Qi. Shangguan Wu Ji also began to sing. His hands are pping. Even Bai Mu Fei couldn¡¯t help but cheer.
¡°Slut!¡±
Seeing Bai Mu Fei¡¯s expression, Longze Yu Er scolded in a low voice.
¡°She actually knows how to seduce men so well!¡±
What Longze Yu Er is saying is what Murong Xin Lian is thinking in her heart. Murong Qing Lian at a side also nodded: ¡°Really didn¡¯t know that third big sister has such ability. I need to learn well from her. Second big sister, look at your wangye1. He also has been attracted by third big sister.¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words are really ugly to hear. After Murong Xin Lian heard that she red at her (MQL) fiercely.
¡°Aiya, second big sister why are you ring at me? If you want to re, go re at third big sister, ah. She is the focus of all men!¡±
Murong Qing Lian sneered and looked back at Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyes which are full of killing intent.
¡°If you have such time, why don¡¯t you think about how to gain the favor of your wangye?!¡±
Although Duanmu Yi Yi hate Murong Qi Qi, but in her heart she couldn¡¯t help but admire Murong Qi Qi. To be able to make such a song, if theypete on talent, she is less than Murong Qi Qi. But she still dislikes Murong Qi Qi. At least when she saw the way Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi, her heart grew with resentment.
Sensing the jealousy of the women on the boat towards that girl, Bai Yi Yue sighed. If it¡¯s possible, she would¡¯ve preferred that Murong Qi Qi stays. Even if she marries into Bai fu 2 and be her sister inw, that won¡¯t be bad. Such a person with such a transparent soul actually needs to marry to Bei Zhou, really a pity.......
¡°La.¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji walked to the front of the boat and sat beside Murong Qi Qi. His hands patted the deck and loudly hummed with Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice is slightly thin to sing this song. Now being joined with Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s rugged high voice; one strong, one soft, the song is more perfect. And Li Yun Qing¡¯s flute also gained a lot of points.
¡°Only heavens will have such song, ah!¡±
Bai Mu Fei silently looked at Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s as if he was talking to himself but it also felt like he was speaking to let Longze Jing Tian hear.
¡°I¡¯ve a feeling that Xi Qi country will eventually regret because of losing her.¡±
Although Bai Mu Fei¡¯s voice is small, but when transmitted to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ears, it¡¯s actually very clear. Longze Jing Tian knows Bai Mu Fei¡¯s ability very well. Murong Qi Qi is the first person he ever praised.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
When the song reached the end, Murong Qi Qi let everything go andughed out loudly. That girl¡¯sughter is like flowers, so free. The confidence and pride exuding from her is so blinding.
A few yearster, once someone asked Longze Jing Tian when he fell in love with Murong Qi Qi.
Thinking for a long time, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s memory went back to this day. On the boat where that girl stood in the front of the boat with the wind. The ck hair flew elegantly with the breeze. It¡¯s at that moment that she entered his heart and became the dream he pursued all his life. It¡¯s just that at that time he didn¡¯t know. That¡¯s why he missed her and lived his life in regret.
A one time mistake, ruined all his life.
Not far away, on a skiff Ming Yue Cheng is holding a fish rod while quietly watching the girl in white on the boat.
¡°Who is that girl?¡±
¡°Answering your highnesz, it¡¯s Xi Qi country¡¯s Murong Qi Qi who was just bestowed the title of princess Zhao Yang and she is also the future Nan Lin wangfei3¡±
¡°A pity......¡±
Ming Yue Cheng threw the fish rod in the water. A gauze hat blocked his face.
¡°Such a girl, such a mood, really a pity.......¡±
When he said ¡®pity¡¯, Ming Yue Cheng suddenlyughed. When did he became so sentimental? He actually learned to pity others.
¡°Your highness, one day we will go back to Nan Feng!¡±
Fu Er looked at his master and said with certainty.
¡°Go back?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng eyes turned from misty to firmness. It¡¯s already been ten years since he came to Xi Qi as a hostage. He almost forgot how the mountains of Nan Feng is like and how sweet the water is. If imperial father wanted to take him back, Nan Feng would¡¯ve already sent someone.
That one in the pce must not be able to wait for him to die here. Then no one will block her imperial son to the road of bing the crown prince. Otherwise why will she let He Lan Yu provoke Xi Qi. It¡¯s nothing more than want to annoy Xi Qi and make his days here bad.
¡°I heard that imperial noble consort wants to send second imperial sister over to form an alliance.......¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Ming Yue Xin is already on the way. This subordinate found out that the one they want to form an alliance with is Jing wang Longze Jing Tian. Your highness, what do you think we should do?¡±
¡°They calcted well! They help Longze Jing Tian get the throne, in turn Longze Jing Tian will also help them, help that little brother of mine be the crown prince. Really good calctions! Fu Er, let people pay attention to all movement of Nan Feng. I also want a list of every people who wille to Xi Qi.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Fu Er bowed slightly. His pair of eyes is unusually smart. Empress has sent someone with a letter. The emperor¡¯s body doesn¡¯t seem well. The imperial physician checked, it¡¯s probably in these two years......¡±
After listening to Fu Er, Ming Yue Cheng slightly smiled. He raised the fishing rd. on it hung a bright red carp.
¡°A sign of good luck!¡±
¡°Is the one on the boat Nan Feng¡¯s crown prince? Our family¡¯s wangye invites you on the boat!¡±
Just at this time, the big boat came over. Someone is shouting on the boat and then put down adder.
¡°Your highness......¡±
Fu Er¡¯s voice revealed his concerns.
¡°Fu Er, I¡¯m fine.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng smiled and pulled down the gauze hat. He raised a pair of bright eyes: ¡°It¡¯s this small one. So it¡¯s your highnezs Jing wang¡¯sboat, ah!¡±
It¡¯s this small one: an answer to the question of him being the crown prince. He is calling himself small one as to lower his status
1. Wang/ wangye: prince of the first rank
2. Fu: mansion/ residence
3. Wangfei: maim wife of a wangye
Chapter 36 Nan Feng’s crown prince
Chapter 36 Nan Feng¡¯s crown prince
¡°Ming Yue Cheng is Nan Feng country¡¯s crown prince. It¡¯s already been ten years since he came to Xi Qi as a hostage,¡± whispered Shangguan Wu Ji to Murong Qi Qi after Ming Yue Cheng came on board.
Hostage? Crown prince? Is that not a prisoner... ... Murong Qi Qi stared thoughtfully at Ming Yue Cheng.
A pair of wooden clogs, barefoot. Simple purple clothes, casually bound together with a knot, revealing a bronzed chest. A wine gourd is hanging at his waist. A silver purple ribbon simply tied his ck hair together. A pair of unruly eyes floated across the crowd. When they looked at Murong Qi Qi, he nodded slightly at her in greeting. Then his eyes rested on Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Greetings to wangye1!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng greeted and didn¡¯t care so much about etiquette. He sat directly on the floor and took the jug of wine at the same time.
¡°Good wine......¡±
Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to open his mouth, Ming Yue Cheng raised his head and poured the good wine into his mouth.
This man is interesting! Murong Qi Qi thought in her heart.
Looks like this is an era of young, handsome men. Every man on this boat, which one is not a fine specimen? Longze Jing Tian is noble, Shangguan Wu Ji is heroic, Li Yun Qing is elegant, Bai Mu Fei is handsome and this crown prince Ming Yue Cheng, who is in dire straits, also has another air.
Don¡¯t know how that husband of hers, whom she had never met, looks like. The rumors say that Nan Lin wang is Bei Zhou¡¯s most handsome man. There are also people who say he is the number first beauty of the world. Don¡¯t know if these rumors are true or false......
Those girls didn¡¯t seem to put Ming Yue Cheng into their eyes. After all, one¡¯s not an optimistic hostage, even if it¡¯s a crown prince, so what? It¡¯s still a question whether he can or cannot return to Nan Feng. Let alone talking about a future!
¡°Wangye, this is good wine, can you gift it to me?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng drank enough of the wine but didn¡¯t seem to be satisfied. He looked somewhat cravingly at the jug of wine in front of Longze Jing Tian. It¡¯s like a cat seeing a fish.
¡°My treasure hasn¡¯t encountered such good wine in a long time!¡± (TN: his treasure is probably his jug)
While talking, Ming Yue Cheng took down the jug at his waist as if it was the world¡¯s most precious thing. It attracted Longze Yu Er¡¯s ridicule.
¡°Imperial brother, since he is so greedy, why don¡¯t you reward it to him lest people say we are bullying a hostage!¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s contempt attracted the girls¡¯ughter. Only Bai Yi Yue is sitting quietly as if it¡¯s not a matter of concern.
Ming Yue Cheng acted like he didn¡¯t hear the ridicule in Longze Yu Er¡¯s words and continued to stare at the jug with hungry eyes.
¡°Ah.....¡±
The other party¡¯s expression seemed to make Longze Jing Tian happy. He waved his hands and let people bring a jar of wine in front of Ming Yue Chen.
¡°For you!¡±
¡°Thank you wangye! Thank you wangye!¡±
Ming Yue Chen excitedly said thanks two times. A momentter, he acted like he couldn¡¯t believe that Longze Jing Tian would be so generous and asked: ¡°Are you really giving them to me?¡±
That cautious look made Longze Jing Tianugh: ¡°I said to reward them to you, then they are yours!¡±
¡°Thanks! Thanks!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng impatiently filled his jug with wine. Then he carefully closed the jars.
¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll drink it slowly when I go back! Such a good wine needs to be carefully savored!¡±
¡°En, you can leave first!¡±
After teasing Ming Yue Cheng, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart, which had been affected by Murong Qi Qi, seemed a lot better.
¡°You can go!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng carefully handed a jar of wine over to Fu Er and took the other half-filled jar of wine into his embrace. Another hand held thedder as he left the boat. Don¡¯t know if it¡¯s done on purpose or it¡¯s just an ident but the boat suddenly shook two times. Ming Yue Cheng hadn¡¯t held onto thedder well and went straight into theke.
¡°Your highness!¡±
Fu Er anxiously extended a paddle to lift Ming Yue Cheng up, but he didn¡¯t expect that Ming Yue Cheng would firstly put the half-filled jar of wine onto the boat.
¡°My wine! Don¡¯t let my wine be spoiled!¡±
¡°Pu chi......¡±
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng being so useless, Murong Qing Lianughed.
¡°I really never saw such a crown prince. He doesn¡¯t even deserve to clean wangye¡¯s shoes!¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words received everyone¡¯s approval. In their eyes, this crown prince of Nan Feng country was just a loser.
However, was he really a loser? Murong Qi Qi looked thoughtfully at Ming Yue Chen, whose whole body had be wet and after climbing onto the boat, was still giggling at the crowd. This person was really interesting......
¡°Third little sister, drink some green bean soup. It¡¯s refreshing.¡±
After the farce, Murong Xin Lian smilingly came up, holding a bowl of green bean soup.
¡°Drink, ah!¡±
¡°No need!¡±
Just from smelling it, Murong Qi Qi knew that something had been added to this green bean soup. But this time, she¡¯s toozy to y with Murong Xin Lian. She directly put her hand up to refuse.
¡°I can¡¯t afford to drink second big sister green bean soup. In the past, I drank second big sister¡¯s wine and almost did something wrong. Today, if I really drink this green bean soup, maybe I will fall into theke and won¡¯t even know how I will die.¡±
Murong Qi Qi being so direct made Murong Xin Lian¡¯s face turn from blue to red and then back to blue. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would not give her face and directly say that out loud.
Looking once again, Longze Jing Tian seemed to have heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. He looked at her while frowning, making Murong Xin Lian¡¯s heart feel even more hatred. But on her face, she couldn¡¯t not put a gentle smile.
¡°Third little sister, you really love to joke around!¡±
¡°Second big sister, everyone knows how our rtionship is. There¡¯s no need to act so artificial. All these years, I apanied you to act. I¡¯m tired of acting. Now second big sister you got your wish, little sister also has a ce to go to. Today, I saw how harmonious second big sister and brother-inw are living with each other, I can now be at ease.¡±
Murong Qi Qi walked to the center of the boat and bowed at everyone.
¡°Murong Qi Qi thanks everyone for your care. If in the past there were some unpleasantness, please forgive me. In the future, the mountains are high and the water is long, we won¡¯t have a chance to see each other again. Today, I will borrow brother-inw wangye¡¯s name and will see this as a farewell banquet for me. This cup of wine is me making amends to everyone!¡±
Murong Qi Qi drank the cup of wine and showed everyone the empty cup.
¡°Su Yue, let¡¯s leave!¡±
Just as everyone¡¯s wondering why Murong Qi Qi was saying that, a small boat pulled over. The one on the boat is Feng Yu.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s the time for learning. Asking princess to go back!¡±
¡°Needs to trouble aunty!¡±
Murong Qi Qi and Feng Yu are talking in Bei Zhou¡¯snguage. Longze Jing Tian is really surprised. Just in a few days, Murong Qi Qi can already speak Bei Zhou¡¯snguage so well. Is this young maiden really the rubbish that everyone talks about?
This question already had no way of being answered. Murong Qi Qi had gotten on the small boat.
Seeing the small boat move further away, Longze Jing Tian once again heard the cries deep in his heart. Keep her, otherwise, you will regret it! This voice came unexpectedly. Even Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t control it. When he came out of the daze, the beauty was already far away.
When the boat reached the shore, Murong Qi Qi handed a letter to Su Yue to let her give it to Ming Yue Cheng.
At the other end, Ming Yue Cheng also reached the shore. Seeing the letter Su Yue had sent, Ming Yue Cheng was somewhat puzzled.
¡°Our family miss said that your highness is no ordinary person. She hopes that your highness wakes up soon.¡±
Su Yue left Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s vision smilingly.

Chapter 37 If I become the emperor
Chapter 37 If I be the emperor
¡°The difficulties urring in heaven would lead to the emergence of a greater immortal. Therefore, people can also be greater. They must first suffer and work to their bones, until their skin be stuck on their body from hunger, making their body weak. The road to one¡¯s appointed ce is full of confusion, so it¡¯ll tempt people¡¯s heart and they are able to suffer what others won¡¯t. Once people survive that, they can change. Trap their heart, consider well and then make the move. The journey is full of colors showing one¡¯s inner voice. Such a person can¡¯t go home without capabilities and leave this foreignnd without having suffered. They¡¯ve known hardship through life and will die of happiness too.¡±
This was a poem MQQ wrote for MYC. MQQ is telling MYC that even though he is a hostage now (in a difficult situation), he can be stronger. He must first pass many hardships before he can get back to his appointed ce (the future emperor of Nan Feng). During that process, he may have many doubts which will tempt him, but he will be able to ovee hardships that others can¡¯t. Once he passes through these hardships, he will be stronger. Make the decision, consider all possibilities and take action. His journey will be hard and he¡¯ll want to give up many times. A great person can¡¯t go home without having the abilities. After he understood all the hardships, he can enjoy his life and die in happiness.
Just a few words made Ming Yue Cheng emotionally overwhelmed and burning with excitement. He looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage which was travelling further away. Ming Yue Cheng clenched the letter in his hand. Only then did he notice a sentence written on the back: ¡°A great man has to be ruthless.¡±
¡°Hahahaha!¡±
Ming Yue Chengughed out loud while looking at the direction of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage. His eyes turned darker.
That young maiden in white actually could see through his endurance of humiliation as part of an important mission. She actually could see deep into his heart. On one side, she¡¯s telling him to continue to endure. On the other side, she¡¯s telling him to assess the situation and look for an opportunity to use a killer move without letting the other party have time to react.
Sure enough, it¡¯s really a pity that you are getting married to Bei Zhou... ...
Fu Er didn¡¯t know what was written in the letter. Seeing that Ming Yue Chen¡¯s demeanor was not quite right, he quickly stepped forward and said with care: ¡°Your highness, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Fu Er, that woman is my soulmate.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng pointed forward. His eyes were firm.
¡°If I be the emperor, I will snatch her to be my empress!¡±
¡°Miss, what did you write in the letter? Why is Nan Feng¡¯s crown princeughing so happily?¡±
Su Yue nced back curiously at Ming Yue Cheng, who stood thereughing.
Murong Qi Qi brushed the hair off her forehead, picked up the feather fan and gently shook it.
¡°I was just thinking with what identity should I form an alliance with this crown prince who is in dire straits......¡±
¡°Hehe,¡± Su Yueughed. ¡°Miss, you have so many identities. Just take any out, wouldn¡¯t he be willing? But why do you want to help him?¡±
¡°A crafty rabbit has three burrows.¡±
A crafty rabbit has three burrows: a sly individual has more than one n to fall back on.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Su Yue turn silent. Indeed, going to the far away Bei Zhou this time, it¡¯s still unknown if it¡¯s a blessing or a curse. Having a ce to retreat to is always good.
After ¡®A nce at the mundane world¡¯, ¡®Oneughter on azure water¡¯ once again swept the capital. More and more people wanted to learn Murong Qi Qi¡¯s easygoingness. But in the end, no one could be like Murong Qi Qi.
Inside Ci Ning Pce, empress dowager Shangguan Fei Yan tasted Murong Xin Lian¡¯s lotus seed soup. She kept saying ¡®it¡¯s good¡¯.
lotus seed soup
Lotus seed soup
¡°You and your big sister are alike. You all are well behaved!¡±
¡°Thanking empress dowager!¡±
Murong Xin Lian took over Shangguan Fei Yan¡¯s bowl and then she filled some more for her.
¡°If you like it, Xin er1 will make it every day!¡±
¡°This child, your mouth is really sweet!¡±
Obviously, Shangguan Fei Yan has a good impression of Murong Xin Lian. Gentle and beautiful. Has a good personality. It¡¯s really pleasing to the eye.
¡°Call aijia2 imperial grandmother like Jing Tian! We all are one family. Calling aijia empress dowager really isn¡¯t intimate!¡±
Hearing empress dowager say that, Murong Xin Lian was really happy. She immediately knelt and kowtowed: ¡°Xin er thanks imperial grandmother!¡±
¡°Hehe, get up, ah! Really a truthful child!¡±
Shangguan Fei Yan let people help Murong Xin Lian up.
¡°You, ah. Don¡¯t always run to aijia here. Making aijia hold a great-grandson is the real business! Put the heart you spend on aijia on Jing Tian instead. Aijia has wished for this great-grandson for a long time!¡±
¡°Imperial grandmother......¡±
Murong Xin Lian blushed but in her heart, she¡¯s secretly crying. Since theke tour, Longze Jing Tian seemed to be acting colder to her. It¡¯s certainly because of that bitch Murong Qi Qi!
¡°Are you shy now? Young people, ah really have thin face. Take it slowly! You see, your big sister will soon add a prince to the imperial family. You also need to work hard!¡±
Shangguan Fei Yan¡¯s words made Murong Xin Lian suddenly understand one thing. That is, the emperor hadn¡¯t named a crown prince yet. Seeing how Murong Xue Lian is currently favoured, maybe the prince she gives birth to would be bestowed the title of crown prince. Then won¡¯t her dream of crown princess, her dream of empress, be shattered?!
No! The ce of the crown prince is Longze Jing Tian¡¯s. The ce of the crown princess is hers! She must think of a way to give birth to the first imperial grandson! They say that after a generation, the rtion would be closer. Maybe by that time, the emperor would love the first imperial grandson and will then make Longze Jing Tian the crown prince.
Previously, all of her fifteen years had been suppressed by Murong Xue Lian. With great difficulty, she had finally entered the imperial family. If she¡¯s still surpassed by her, then won¡¯t her efforts, her work and Zheng Min¡¯s death be wasted!
After returning to the wangfu, 3 Murong Xin Lian once again prepared soup and delivered it to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s study. It had long be Lu Ye¡¯s snack. After these past few days, they were already familiar with it. Within their hearts, their impression of Murong Xin Lian, this cefei4 was not bad. They felt that she¡¯s beautiful and polite and didn¡¯t have the arrogance of those pampered nobledies.
¡°Wangye5, ce wangfei sent soup to clear the heat.¡±
¡°You drink it!¡±
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t even raise his head.
¡°That¡¯s right, how¡¯s the matter that I let you investigate going?¡±
¡°Answering wangye, there was nothing wrong with Murong Qi Qi on the night of admiring the moon at the pavilion. But this subordinate found out another matter. It¡¯s that on that same night, ce wangfei¡¯s mother was having an affair with another man and got caught by the prime minister. Prime minister killed them on the spot. Regarding this matter, aside from the Duanmu family, the young masters and misses of the other three families were also present.¡±
Lu Ye told Longze Jing Tian everything he found out whilst drinking the ¡®clearing heat¡¯ soup.
¡°Oh? Such coincidence?¡±
Longze Jing Tian touched his chin. He felt that there¡¯s something fishy. He believed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. That woman dared to do and dared to admit. What she said must be true.
¡°Yes, ah!¡±
Lu Ye put down the bowl and wiped his mouth.
¡°Prime minister sealed all the mouths of the people of xiangfu6. To the outside, he said that concubine Zhang died of illness. At that time, ce wangfei was sick for a long time.¡±
The more Lu Ye talked, the thirstier he felt. His whole body was hot. He couldn¡¯t help but fan with his hand. After that, he simple tore off his cor, but his whole body was getting hotter and hotter.
¡°Hot?¡±
Longze Jing Tian spotted Lu Ye¡¯s strangeness. He put his hand on Lu Ye¡¯s wrist. After he checked, the color of his face changed.
¡°Servants, prepare cold water! Also, call the physician!¡±
The physician came over and carefully examined the ¡®clearing heat¡¯ soup.
¡°Answering wangye, inside there¡¯s a medicine added which will let people act impulsive.¡±
The physician¡¯s words were very subtle. When saying it inly, it¡¯s spring medicine (aphrodisiac). This result made the physician wonder. Could it be that wangye is unable to do that? He actually needs such stuff?
Obviously, he guessed wrong. Longze Jing Tian seemed to have felt the physician¡¯s strange look. He looked at the physician coldly. The physician immediately lowered his head.
¡°Go look at him!¡±
Longze Jing Tian pointed at Lu Ye who¡¯s soaking in cold water.
¡°Is there a way to make him morefortable?¡±
¡°Answering wangye, this medicine is too strong. The only remedy is woman.¡±
¡°Idiot!¡±
Longze Jing Tian kicked down the stool. Now he finally came to understood the meaning of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. Murong Xin Lian actually used such viinous ways to seduce him. If the one who had drank the ¡®clearing heat¡¯ soup today was him, then she would have surely seeded.
Just thinking that from the first moment he saw Murong Xin Lian, he had already entered her calctions, all her gentleness and goodness was a disguise, Longze Jing Tian felt that this woman was too disgusting.
Presumably the matter of Zheng Min was because she wanted to calcte Murong Qi Qi but in the end, she ended up with an egg on her face. Then after thinking about how Murong Xin Lian used such low ways to deal with Murong Qi Qi, Longze Jing Tian felt fire in his heart which he had no ce to vent.

Chapter 38 Jue Se Fang
Chapter 38 Jue Se Fang
¡°This thing that happened today, you aren¡¯t allowed to spread, understand?¡±
Even though Longze Jing Tian¡¯s back was facing the imperial physician, the old imperial physician could still feel Jing wang¡¯s1 repressed anger. He quickly said two times ¡°don¡¯t dare¡± before he retreated.
¡°Servants!¡±
Longze Jing Tian snapped. Two people in ck appeared in front of him.
¡°Go get Murong Xin Lian for benwang2!¡±
At this time, Murong Xin Lian was anxiously waiting for the result. The medicine should take effect soon! It¡¯s onlymon sense that Longze Jing Tian¡¯s guards woulde to get her, the only woman in the wangfu3. But why was she kept waiting for so long, there still hasn¡¯t been any movement?!
Murong Xin Lian was in deep thoughts that she didn¡¯t even notice the two people who had appeared at her back. A muffled sound could be heard, Murong Xin Lian became limp in one of the people in ck¡¯s embrace.
Lu Ye was now so hot that he had be irrational. Longze Jing Tian and Lu Yuan put Lu Ye on the bed. After seeing Murong Xin Lian in the bed, Lu Yuan was shocked: ¡°Wangye, this... ....¡±
¡°All of this is done by this bitch! Let her do it!¡±
Longze Jing Tian stopped Lu Yuan and pulled down the curtains. No matter how much Murong Xin Lian screamed from pain inside the curtains, Longze Jing Tian remained unmoved. And Lu Yuan, after knowing what Murong Xin Lian had done, his impression of her directly hit the bottom and now thought she was shameful.
After one night, Murong Xin Lian had been tormented half to death. After that, she was thrown back to her ce by Longze Jing Tian¡¯s guards. When Murong Xin Lian woke up, the pain, along with those green and purple ces on her body, made her jump for joy.
Was it Longze Jing Tian who came over? Was the man fromst night him? Then, will she get pregnant? Murong Xin Lian stroked her belly. Although her body¡¯s in pain, but in her heart, she¡¯s happy. At least, she got what she wanted.
After hearing people report Murong Xin Lian¡¯s condition, Longze Jing Tian revealed a mocking smile.
¡°Wangye, won¡¯t you give her soup for not having children... ...¡±
Lu Yuan was worried. It would be bad if Murong Xin Lian bes pregnant. It wouldn¡¯t be good for wangye¡¯s reputation.
¡°No need.¡±
Longze Jing Tian shook his finger.
¡°Since this is her wish, why not fulfill it? What bennwang wants to see most is the expression of those greedy people when their dream is shattered! Let people serve ce wangfei4 well. No matter if it¡¯s things to use or to eat, give her the best. Benwang wants her to fall until all bones are broken!¡±
Seeing the cruel smile on Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face, Lu Yuan knew that this wangye was really being ruthless.
But this was what she asked for herself. His own little brother Lu Ye was still unconscious in bed. The imperial physician said that the medicine was too strong, Lu Ye had hurt his body. He needed to rest well. All of this was thanks to Murong Xin Lian!
In one month, Murong Xin Lian got the best of care. The whole wangfu was treating her as the female master, letting Murong Xin Lian¡¯s pride be greatly satisfied.
Aside from Longze Jing Tian not allowing her to go into the study and also nevering over to her ce, the other things made Murong Xin Lian very content.
As for Longze Jing Tian, Murong Xin Lian admits that she used tricks and made him angry, but Murong Xin Lian was sure that he had feelings for her. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have let people treat her like this.
Besides, Murong Xin Lian already has a card in her hand. Her period hadn¡¯te this month. Let the heavens bless her with a child. Maybe she can then use this child. By then, she would be a step closer to the position of wangfei5
Finally, September arrived. Bei Zhou¡¯s Nan Lin wang Feng Cang arrived at the capital after a month and a half trip.
¡°Wang, all has been arranged. On the ninth of September, Longze Yu will hold a banquet. At that time, you can see wangfei.¡±
Ru Yi helped Feng Cang put on clothes and then helped himb his hair.
After they finished dressing, Feng Cang drank medicine. The first thing he asked about was the banquet at the pce.
¡°Is the dress for wangfei ready?¡±
For almost two months, Feng Cang restrained the impulse to go see Murong Qi Qi. He had been quietly recuperating at the house located outside the capital. The so-called trip to Xi Qi was just a pretext. No one knew that he had long arrived at Xi Qi.
¡°All is ready!¡±
Ji Xiang pped. Immediately, ten female servants appeared. In everyone¡¯s hands, there¡¯s a dress for Feng Cang to choose. With just a nce, Feng Cang frowned.
¡°Dismissed!¡±
Just with one look, Ji Xiang knew that her master isn¡¯t satisfied. She immediately let them retreat with the clothes.
¡°Are those the dresses you chose?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very gentle, but it made Ji Xiang shudder. She immediately knelt down: ¡°Wangye, don¡¯t be angry. This ve admits the mistake!¡±
Feng Cang put a candied fruit in his mouth and sipped carefully. He didn¡¯t let Ji Xiang get up. His finger gently tapped on the table.
¡°I heard that in Xi Liang, a ¡®Jue Se Fang¡¯ has opened. Let¡¯s go take a look. Perhaps there will be a surprise... ...¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Ru Yi stood to one side. He didn¡¯t dare to plead for his twin sister. He could only helplessly look at Ji Xiang once and escorted Feng Cang away.
Jue Se Fang, one of Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s6 shop. It originally opened at Nan Feng country. Now, it has opened a branch in Xi Liang, Xi Qi¡¯s capital. Just a banner would¡¯ve attracted a lot of people to watch. It wasn¡¯t even open yet, but has already caused a sensation.
Everyone knows that Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s Tong Bao Zhai is dedicated to creating jewelries and Jue Se Fang¡¯s clothes were famous in the world.
It¡¯s rumored that Nan Feng country¡¯s imperial noble consort He Lan Min loves Jue Se Fang¡¯s dresses. After Jue Se Fang arrived, He Lan Min no longer wore anything embroidered in the pce. She only wore something from Jue Se Fang. And because of this imperial noble consort¡¯s respect, it made Jue Se Fang¡¯s fame reach an unparalleled height.
¡°Young master, our shop will open at the ninth of September!¡±
The shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang, Fang Tong, had eyes in the shape of green beans. He looked smart with a little cunning and deceitfulness.
Looking at Feng Cang who¡¯s dressed in white with a gauze hat, Fang Tong warmly served tea.
¡°First, take a look. If there¡¯s something pleasing to the eye, you can ce an order.¡±
¡°Good.¡±
The moment Feng Cang opened his mouth, Fang Tong was surprised. Then he immediately smiled: ¡°Take your time in looking. If you have the need, call the customer service personnel. They will answer you with the most detailed answer.¡±
¡°Customer service personnel?¡±
These words were very fresh... ...
Feng Cang looked at the store. Have to say Jue Se Fang is a unique shop. No need to say about those beautiful gorgeous clothes, but those life-size models made from wood carving made people admire Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s mind.
Clothes just hanging there are dead. When dressed on a model, they became alive. And there¡¯s also those customer service personnel, who were full of smiles. They¡¯re dressed very finely. Even if they were dressed the same, but the nuances on the cor and cuffs was enough to help people realize their differences.
Fang Tong hurried to the back and opened a door. After he went in, he shut the door. Seeing Murong Qi Qi inside, Fang Tong respectably knelt on one knee.
¡°Rise!¡±
Murong Qi Qi leisurely watched the scenery outside the window. Su Yue and Su Mei were standing at the other side.
¡°Miss, a precious guest arrived downstairs. It seems he is the future guye7.¡±
Fang Tong cautiously nced at Murong Qi Qi. Nicknamed ¡®preternaturally good hearing¡¯, Fang Tong¡¯s ears were the best in Moyu. He only needed to hear a voice one time; he would never forget it again. A few years in the past, Fang Tong went to Bei Zhou and saw Feng Cang. So that¡¯s why the moment Feng Cang opened his mouth, just a ¡®good¡¯ and Feng Tong already knew his identity.
1. Wangye/ wang: prince of the first rank
2. Benwang: I, used by a wangye
3. Wangfu: residence of a wangye
4. Cefei/ cewangfei: second ranked wife of a wangye
5. Wangfei: main wife of a wangye
6. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer a famous unmarried man
7. Guye: son inw/ also used by the servants of the female¡¯s family
Chapter 39 Gold thread dress
Chapter 39 Gold thread dress
¡°Oh......¡±
Inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice, there¡¯s no surprise. When she had met Jin Mo earlier, Murong Qi Qi had already known that Feng Cang was in Xi Qi. Today, he came to visit Jue Se Fang, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Just thinking once, Murong Qi Qi already guessed Feng Cang¡¯s intention.
During this time, she seemed to have been ¡®pampered¡¯ till she had became spoiled by Feng Cang¡¯s care. Clothes, foods, houses, transportation, Feng Cang made all the arrangements for her. Even the nts and flowers in her Cui Zhu yuan1 had been specially sent by his people.
Feng Cang was even worried that she would not be ustomed to the food of Bei Zhou. He specifically sent the cook of his wangfu2 to chengxiangfu3 to make roastmb, Mongolian hotpot (instant boiled mutton) and milk tea for her.
This man must¡¯ve learned the trick to get someone¡¯s heart. He¡¯s obviously in Xi Qi, but never showed up. He just let everything around her, every stitch, every nt and trees be branded with his mark, making it so that even if she wanted to forget, it would be difficult. Have to say, this was a very good method. Now, even Su Yue and Su Mei are talking about how good Feng Cang is.
Not long ago, news came from Fang Kui. On the first day Tong Bao Zhai had opened at Bei Zhou, the flower crown design Murong Qi Qi made with golden threads ¡®Autumn Flower¡¯ was bought by a mysterious person at a high price. That person was Feng Cang¡¯s subordinate. Feng Cang probably did it for the banquet at the pce!
However, as to why Feng Cang was treating her so good made Murong Qi Qi feel very confused.
ording to research, his parents had died at the battle on Yangdang Mountain. The one who¡¯d turned the tables, making Xi Qi win the battle was Murong Tai. Feng Cang should be hating Xi Qi, hate the Murong family. So why does he want to marry her, this ¡®rubbish¡¯ from Murong family and keep spoiling her again and again?
Could it be that he changed his method to get revenge? Does he want to get her to the top and then let her fall to her bones as revenge for his parents? If it¡¯s like this, then he picked the wrong person......
¡°Miss, you look... ...,¡± Fang Tong opened his mouth. This matter was rted to Murong Qi Qi, miss needed to make her own decision.
¡°No need to worry!¡±
Seeing through Fang Tong, Murong Qi Qi smiled: ¡°Whenever he takes a fancy to any clothes, just shout a high price. Having Nan Lin wang4 Feng Cang¡¯s campaign for us, Jue Se Fang would surely be on fire in Xi Qi country. This banquet at the pce is a good opportunity!¡±
Talking til here, Murong Qi Qi paused.
The only clothes that could match ¡®Autumn Flowers¡¯ was the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯. If Feng Cang gave her ¡®Autumn Flower¡¯ in order to gain her favor, then only this ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ could match it.
¡°Send the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ out. He would surely love it.¡±
Murong Qi Qi slowly stood up. A silver light shed from her hand. A little dandelion got hooked and was now in her sight. (TN: she hooked the flower from outside the window)
Seeing miss taking action, Fang Tong didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly.
Everyone knew that miss had sir Mozun¡¯s skills. The ¡®Grasp flowerugh¡¯ seen just now was one of sir Mozun¡¯s secret skills. If you got the strength right, then taking people¡¯s lives was a matter simpler than breathing.
¡°By the way, tell him the poem.¡±
Murong Qi Qi got the dandelion down and stared at it thoughtfully.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak any further, Fang Tong bowed again and retreated. He personally took the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ to Feng Cang.
¡°This is our shop¡¯s treasure ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯.¡±
Although Feng Cang was wearing a gauze hat and Fang Tong couldn¡¯t see this wangye¡¯s expression, but with his knowledge of his miss¡¯s craftsmanship, he must be shocked. If this future guye5 found out in the future that his miss is Guang Hua gongzi6, really don¡¯t know what kind of expression he¡¯ll expose!
Although it¡¯s called ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯, in fact it has nothing to do with gold. It¡¯s a fire-red dress. The color was youthful and beautiful. On top, it¡¯s covered with a gold colored gauze.
The most amazing thing was that on the gold colored gauze, there¡¯sndscape outlined on it. Thousand cranes flying, vigorous pines majestically towering over a cliff to covet a day, whereas breeze strokes the goldenrod cliff.
And at the end of the cliff, there¡¯s a waterfall spraying many sshes. Even the drops were clearly outlined like they¡¯re alive. Under the waterfall, you would even be able to see a few fish swimming joyously.
If it was a painting, it¡¯s already artistic. If it¡¯s on a dress, it could be considered a treasure.
Feng Cang had never seen such a painting being drawn on clothes. So alive. It seemed that Jue Se Fang was so famous since it indeed had some capabilities.
¡°Not bad.....¡±
It¡¯s like what Fang Tong thought. Feng Cang really took a fancy on this ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯.
¡°Did your gongzi say where this gold thread dress came from?¡±
¡°When our gongzi designed this gold thread dress, he made a poem.¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Feng Cang obviously had strong interest in this poem. Fang Tong saw this and acted ording to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s order. He wrote down the poem and handed it to Feng Cang.
¡°Advise gentleman to not pity gold thread dress, advise gentleman to cherish time (of being young), flowers blossoming may endure breaking but must break over time, don¡¯t stay there waiting till the flower breaks.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very appealing to the ears. Even Fang Tong, as a man, felt veryfortable listening to it. It¡¯s just, don¡¯t know how the personality of this future guye is......
¡°Guang Hua gongzi is really interesting! This dress, I... ...¡±
Feng Cang hadn¡¯t finished speaking when they heard an arrogant voice: ¡°Bengong7 wants this dress!¡±
At the door stood a well-dressed girl. She rushed to ¡®Gold thread dress. There were stars shining in her eyes.
¡°Heavens! Really beautiful! Bengong finally understands why Nan Feng¡¯s imperial noble consort only loves Jue Se Fang¡¯s clothes! Imperial sister-inw, look, isn¡¯t it really beautiful?¡±
The one talking was princess Ping Yang Longze Yu Er and the imperial sister inw was Murong Xin Lian. The two originally came to prepare for the banquet at the pce. They heard that Jue Se Fang hade to the Xi Liang, so they came together.
Xi Liang is the capital of Xi Qi.
Since theke tour, Longze Yu Er and Murong Xin Lian inexplicably became a lot closer. Maybe it¡¯s because the two of them don¡¯t like Murong Qi Qi. That¡¯s why they have so much inmon to talk about. Longze Yu Er even saw Murong Xin Lian as her close friend and would talk about everything with her.
¡°Really beautiful!¡±
After Murong Xin Lian saw this ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯, her gaze never left it. Although she also wanted this dress, but Longze Yu Er was a princess. Her purpose today was to please Longze Yu Er, so she had to reluctantly cut her love.
¡°When princess wears it at the banquet, princess will surely shine over everyone else there!¡±
Longze Yu Er was very happy after hearing Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ttery. She took a fancy to this dress from the first nce. In Longze Yu Er¡¯s eyes, this dress was tailor made for her. And only her, this noble and excellent princess, had the right to wear this ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯.
Fang Tong knew who she was, but miss said this dress was for future guye. Fang Tong naturally wouldn¡¯t let other people get it.
¡°Sorry! This dress has already been bought by this young master!¡±
¡°What?!¡±
Hearing someone refuse her, Longze Yu Er angrily put on one hand on her hip. The other hand pointed at Fang Tong¡¯s nose. She said angrily: ¡°Open your dog eyes and look clearly. Bengong is princess Ping Yang! Who took a fancy on this dress? Is the other party nobler than bengong?¡±

Chapter 40 Chop him for bengong
Chapter 40 Chop him for bengong
Facing Longze Yu Er¡¯s bossy attitude, Fang Tong¡¯s expression remained the same and his voice was still stable.
¡°Answering princess, first I don¡¯t belong to the dog group of the Chinese zodiac. Although my eyes are small, but my vision is very good. Second, our Jue Se Feng sells clothes in order of the first one who came is the first one served. No matter who you are, what your identity is and how noble you are, when youe to our Jue Se Fang you all are our guests. We will treat everyone equally.¡±
Fang Tong¡¯s decent appearance and humorous discourse, let Feng Cang appreciate him very much. This appreciation even reached to Guang Hua gongzi 1 who is behind this Jue Se Fang. Being able to teach his subordinate like this, this Guang Hua gongzi is no ordinary person.
¡°Presumptuous!¡±
Murong Xin Lian saw that Longze Yu Er suffered defeat, immediately came forward.
¡°This dress has been fancied by princess. You just need to sell. Is it not money, how much do you want?¡±
¡°Ten thousand golden teals.¡±
Fang Tong shouted the price. It directly let Murong Xin Lian¡¯s eyelid jump.
¡°Ten thousand? Golden teals! You want to ughter people, ah!¡±
¡°You are?¡±
Fang Tong squinted his eyes and pretended to not know Murong Xin Lian¡¯s identity.
¡°Humph!¡±
Murong Xin Lian stroked her clothes and raised her sharp chin.
¡°I¡¯m Jing wangfei2!¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Fang Tong stretched his voice.
¡°Seemingly Xi Qi country¡¯s Jing wang3 only has a ce fei4......¡±
¡°You......¡±
The thing that Murong Xin Lian is now most tangled about is her own status. Why is it not wangfei? Why is there a ¡®ce¡¯ in front? Because of this she is actually beingughed at by a small shopkeeper. Her expression immediately turned bad.
¡°I will soon be wangfei!¡±
While talking, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hand unconsciously touched her belly. This movement has been taken into Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. So it¡¯s like that. No wonder she is so arrogant. It¡¯s because she already has something to rely on, ah!
¡°Shopkeeper, here¡¯s is ten thousand golden teals.¡±
Ru Yi put a box in front of Fang Tong. He opened. Golden colors everywhere.
¡°Our family¡¯s young master has taken a fancy on this ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯. We paid the full amount. On the ninth we wille collect it.¡±
Ru Yi polite manner and Longze Yu Er¡¯s arrogance became a stark contrast. And his way wasvish making people unable to breath, making the other guests murmur at each other.
¡°Since young master paid the full amount, this shop will make an exception and let young master take the dress first.¡±
Fang Tong let people wrap the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ and smilingly handed the dress over to Ru Yi.
¡°Young master must¡¯ve brought this dress for your wife! Your wife is really lucky!¡±
¡°Thanks......¡±
Fang Tong using wife for Murong Qi Qi, making Feng Cang¡¯s mood very good. That¡¯s right ah, not much longer, she will be his bride, be his wangfei. Furen?5 Wife? Beloved consort? Qing Qing? Qi er6......Using these nicknames for her is really not bad.
Qing Qing: term of endearments between spouses.
¡°Stop!¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang and Ru Yi walked to the door with the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ that she fancied, Longze Yu Er didn¡¯t make trouble for Fang Tong anymore. Instead she let people block Feng Cang.
¡°You can leave, but you need to leave the dress here!¡±
Longze Yu Er stared at the ¡®Gold thread dress ¡®in Ru Yi¡¯s hand. The golden sunlight shone on the gauze made it have a mysterious light. Longze Yu Er absolutely loves this dress. She definitely won¡¯t allow such a beautiful dress being dressed on someone else!
¡°Can it be that princess wants to be a robber in broad daylight?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice has a thinyer of coldness. Ru Yi knows his master¡¯s mind. He immediately fired a firework in the sky. Red firework exploded in the air, really beautiful.
Knowing that the other party is sending a sign for help, but Longze Yu Er isn¡¯t afraid. Here is Xi Liang, Xi Qi¡¯s capital. She is Xi Qi¡¯s princess Ping Yang. Unless imperial father and mother is here, otherwise no one can stop her!
¡°This dress is something bengong7 took a fancy on!¡±
The men under Longze Yu Er already sent a messenger to the imperial guard of the capital. Seeing that man run faster than a monkey, Feng Cang revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
¡°Nonsense! It¡¯s obviously my young master who ordered it first and also paid ten thousand golden teals!¡±
Seeing that the imperial guards of the capital have arrived, Ruyi stood in front of Feng Cang to protect him.
¡°Didn¡¯t expect that a princess of a country will be so rude and unreasonable! Can¡¯t afford it, now turned into robbing. What kind of reason is this?! Do you still care about thew?¡±
¡°Law?¡±
Hearing this word, Longze Yu Er seemed like she heard the funniest thing in the world.
¡°Laws are being made by my family. Here, bengong is thew!¡±
The head of the imperial guards of the capital Hu Bu Xiu rushed over. The moment he saw Longze Yu Er, he got headache. This princess doesn¡¯t have other skill than to order them to here and to there.
A while ago when she wanted to seal Tong Bao Zhai, in the end, the result is that all thedies of the whole capital have a grudge on him. Without Tong Bao Zhai, the jewelries they love so much are gone. They can¡¯t do anything to princess, they can only use a ck hand on him, this small head of the imperial guards. Even his own wife has punished him by not letting him sleep on the bed.
Just a few days without trouble, princess Ping Yang once again made trouble. He really doesn¡¯t know when there will be an end......
¡°This subordinate greets princess Ping Yang......¡±
Although unwilling, Hu Bu Xiu still went forward and bowed. Who let the other party¡¯s identity be so noble and her father is the biggest boss in this country!
¡°You, go rob that dress for bengong!¡±
Longze Yu Er pointed at Feng Cang. Murong Xin Lian at a side pulled Longze Yu Er¡¯s sleeves. Only then did she change her words: ¡°No, it¡¯s get the dress for bengong!¡±
¡°Princess, this dress is another¡¯s. How can you......¡±
¡®Pa¡¯. Longze Yu Er was full of anger and didn¡¯t have a ce to vent on. She heard Hu Bu Xiu¡¯s words and immediately pped him.
¡°When did it be that when bengong does something, you, a ve, has the right to meddle in?! If you can¡¯t take the burdens off bengong, then for what do I need you?!¡±
Longze Yu Er kicked Hu Bu Xiu away. She ordered to the guards at the back: ¡°You all listen, who robs the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ for bengong, bengong will let him be the head of the imperial guards of the capital!¡±
Those words fell into those guards¡¯ ears, all of them exploded.
The head of the imperial guards, everyone wants to sit on that position! Anyway, if something happens, there¡¯s princess Ping Yang who will block for them. Also the other party just have one master and one servant. Their mind turned and immediately surrendered to Longze Yu Er.
Just a moment, forty imperial guards have surrounded Feng Cang and Ru Yi. Their weapons pointed at this pair of master and servant. They have the posture as if they will use force.
¡°Audacious!¡±
Ru Yi didn¡¯t expect that this group of people will actually listen to a woman and will use force to his wangye. If this is Bei Zhou, even if he gives them ten galls they won¡¯t dare.
¡°Puchi....,¡± not only Longze Yu Er, Murong Xin Lian alsoughed. Just a servant, when talking he does looks like it. Saying such words when facing Xi Qi¡¯s princess, his mind must¡¯ve gotten into water.
¡°Hey, hand over princess¡¯s dress!¡±
Someone¡¯s hand is on the swords. His posture is like if Feng Cang doesn¡¯t hand over the dress, he¡¯ll do something to him.
Seeing the other party like this, Feng Cang humphed coldly.
¡°What if benwang8 says no?¡±
¡°Hahaha! Did you hear, he actually said benwang! Benwang?¡±
Longze Yu Erughed out loud. The hairpins and beads on her head also shook.
¡°Audaciousmoner, you actually dare to impersonate a wangye. Really a sin to die one million times! Chop him for bengong!¡±

Chapter 41 Forty heads
Chapter 41 Forty heads
The moment Longze Yu Er¡¯smand fell, the imperial guards took out their shiny swords and rushed at Feng Cang.
¡°Don¡¯t even dare to hurt our family¡¯s wangye1!¡±
Not waiting for Ru Yi to open his mouth, a crescent knife came flying through the air and directly cut off the head of the imperial guard who was at the very front of the pack.
¡®Dang......¡¯ The head hit the ground. It even rolled a few times and became contaminated with dust. It also left a bright red trail of blood.
¡°Ah! They killed someone!¡±
A person in the crowd watching from afar saw this bloody scene, screamed and fainted.
Longze Yu Er and Murong Xin Lian saw this scene, and they almost vomited.
Then, a burst of hooves was heard. Ten ck armored soldiers on tall horses appeared in front of Feng Cang.
¡°Subordinates camete to the rescue, asking wangye for punishment!¡±
Wangye? Which sort of wangye is he? Longze Yu Er¡¯s brain hadn¡¯t gotten far when a string of shrill voices was heard. All the heads of the forty people who had surrounded Feng Cang reached the ground. Red blood sprayed onto Longze Yu Er¡¯s face. She was so afraid that she began to scream.
¡°You, you... ...¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s voice was trembling. Her whole body also began to tremble.
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°They are Nan Lin wang¡¯s eagle troup!¡±
Someone in the crowd saw the eagle head embroidered on the sleeves of the soldiers riding the horses and they immediately recognized the symbols.
Nan Lin wang? Not only Longze Yu Er, everyone else present was in shock. That man in white with the gauze hat is the rumored Nan Lin wang Feng Cang? Is he the Nan Lin wang who people called the ¡®God of War¡¯ and who became famous throughout the four countries at just the age of fifteen?
A gust of wind blew. It wanted to lift up the white gauze hat to let people see Feng Cang¡¯s looks, but just as a perfect chin was exposed, Feng Cang stopped it.
¡°Hehe... ...¡±
After his identity got exposed, Feng Cang chuckled. He pulled the gauze down over his face.
¡°Ru Yi, if someone wanted to murder benwang2 in Bei Zhou, what kind of sin is that?¡±
¡°Answering wangye, murdering an imperial family, the punishment is death on the spot and the execution of nine generations!
Ru Yi¡¯s voice is very loud. When it reached Longze Yu Er¡¯s ear¡¯s, it¡¯s very piercing. Long has she heard that Nan Lin wang¡¯s acts are out of ordinary. He is reckless. She didn¡¯t expect that he would dare to kill Xi Liang¡¯s imperial guards!
¡°You, you don¡¯te over.......¡±
The one who was just now so arrogant, and showed her strength by wanting to rob the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ in Feng Cang¡¯s hands, her two rows of teeth were now beginning to tremble. She actually forgot that Bei Zhou¡¯s missionaries had arrived at Xi Liang. Besides, Feng Cang had also brought along Bei Zhou¡¯s most elite eagle troup. The behavior of just now was simply seeking death!
¡°This ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ indeed is very beautiful!¡±
Feng Cang opened the wrapping of the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯. Under the sunlight, the dress sparkled. The picture on the golden gauze came alive, making everyone who saw it surprised. They forgot about the bloody scene that had just urred.
¡°But... ...,¡±, Feng Cang¡¯s voice changed. ¡°Only benwang¡¯s wangfei3 has the right to wear such clothes. Princess, could it be that you want to be benwang¡¯s wangfei?¡±
At this moment, Longze Yu Er¡¯s vision waspletely attracted by the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯. She didn¡¯t pay any attention to Feng Cang¡¯s words. It was only because of Murong Xin Lian pulling at her clothes that made her minde back.
¡°No! No! Bengong 4 doesn¡¯t have such thoughts!¡±
What a joke, letting her marry demon wang for a piece of clothing? She still wants to live a long life! The moment Longze Yu Er moved her legs, she fainted.
¡°Ah, her courage is just like that......¡±
Feng Cang put away the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯. He no longer bothered with Longze Yu Er and Murong Xin Lian. Instead, he turned and cupped his hands in obeisance to Fang Tong: ¡°I¡¯m sorry for dirtying Jue Se Fang¡¯s store. Benwang will apologize to Guang Hua gongzi5 here!¡±
¡°No need, no need. This is red for a good start! It¡¯s a good sign!¡±
Fang Tong¡¯s eyes took in all of Feng Cang¡¯s actions. In his heart, he¡¯s raising his thumbs up for this wangye. Presumably, only such a person could match with his miss!
Fang Tong¡¯s words couldn¡¯t help but let Ru Yi look once more at this shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang. This person really was interesting. If it were anyone else, they would¡¯ve already been trembling with fright. He actually said that this is red for a good start. This Jue Se Fang¡¯s really interesting.
¡°Shopkeeper has good measure! As forpensation, benwang will look after Jue Se Fang in the future! In the future, if someonees searching for trouble at Jue Se Fang, then they are against benwang and is against benwang¡¯s eagle troup!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice is not loud, but these words reached everyone¡¯s ears. Jue Se Fang got Feng Cang as their backing, even if Longze Yu Er wanted to touch Jue Se Fang, she wouldn¡¯t be able to.......
¡°Thanking wangye!¡±
Understanding that Feng Cang is protecting Jue Se Fang, Fang Tong bowed to Feng Cang.
In just one afternoon, Nan Lin wang Feng Cang and the matter of Feng Cang cutting off the heads of the imperial guards spread throughout Xi Liang. At the same time, inside Cui Zhu yuan6 Murong Qi Qi also received the dress and jewelries Feng Yu brought in. It was as she had guessed. It¡¯s ¡®Autumn flower¡¯ and ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯.
¡°How beautiful!¡±
Even though Feng Yu is a middle-aged woman, after seeing these things, she couldn¡¯t seem to put them down. She couldn¡¯t help but say in admiration: ¡°If given the chance, I really want to see that Guang Hua gongzi! How fine a person can be to have such an exquisite heart to be able to design such beautiful ornaments!¡±
When Feng Yu said that, Su Mei and Su Yue onlyughed. The Guang Hua gongzi everyone is searching for is precisely Murong fu¡¯s7 third miss, ah!
¡°Zeze, princess, look!¡±
Feng Yu carefully picked up golden crown.
¡°How beautiful, ah! Really beautiful. Princess, you will be the most beautiful person at the banquet!¡±
¡°It¡¯s indeed very beautiful!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t show much happiness like Feng Yu. Such stuff, she can get it just with a movement of her fingers. It¡¯s her own design. She has long be bored from touching it.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s in expression made Feng Yu love this future wangfei even more. If it¡¯s an ordinary girl, seeing Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s jewelries, she would surely be tempted. This princess Zhao Yang remained unaffected. Really a posture of someone grand! She is well matched with wangye!
At the pce, right at this moment, Longze Yu Er is kneeling in front of Longze Yu. Duanmu Qing is exculpating for her daughter.
¡°You... ...¡±
Longze Yu looked at Longze Yu Er with some hate for iron not bing steel.
Hate for iron not bing steel: feel resentful/resentment
¡°Anybody else you mess with would be alright. You actually go provoke that bad star?! Could it be that you don¡¯t know his rumors? Howe I gave birth to such a stupid daughter?!¡±
¡°Emperor, appease your anger! This time, Yu Er really did wrong, but Feng Cang shouldn¡¯t have killed inside the capital, ah! This is Xi Qi country, it¡¯s Xi Liang. It¡¯s not their Bei Zhou! Who gave him the gall?!¡±
Duanmu Qing knew that this wasn¡¯t Longze Yu Er¡¯s fault. It would have been alright if she had stolen someone else¡¯s dress. So you can¡¯t me her for stealing from Feng Cang. Feng Cang didn¡¯t say his identity. In short, it¡¯s Feng Cang¡¯s fault!
Hearing Duanmu Qing say such ¡®bad words¡¯, Longze Yu¡¯s finger pointed towards the sky. He didn¡¯t know what to say anymore.
¡°Stupid! She is stupid, why do you follow her and also be stupid?! Is Feng Cang someone to mess with? Not mentioning the killing of forty people, if he wanted to hold Yu Er ountable for today, zhen8 will not protect her!¡±
¡°Emperor, you being like this, is it not like letting another¡¯s backbone be more impressive than yours?!¡±
Duanmu Qing is somewhat dissatisfied with Longze Yu¡¯s fuss. The other party is just a wangye of different surname. How could he be more noble than the emperor of Bei Zhou?
Feng Cang¡¯s surname is Feng. The imperial family of Bei Zhou¡¯s surname is Wangyan. Most of the time, the title of wangye is bestowed on the princes of the imperial family. A wangye of a different surname usually has a lower status than those with the imperial family¡¯s surname.
¡°Idiot! Zhen wondered why Yu Er is so stupid, it¡¯s because she has such a mother as you! You think well about it!¡±
Longze Yu swung his sleeve and left Qing Luan Pce.
1. Wangye/wang: prince of the first rank
2. Benwang: I, used by a wangye
3. Wangfei: main wife of a wangye
4. Bengong: I, used by the females of the imeperial family
5. Gongzi: young master/ also used to describe a famous unmarried man
6. Yuan: a part of a residence
7. Fu: residence/ mansion
8. Zhen: I, used by an emperor

Chapter 42 Double ninth imperial feast
¡°Empress mother......¡±
Longze Yu Er climbed to the empress¡¯ side, full of grievances.
¡°Empress mother, doesn¡¯t emperor father love Yu Er anymore?¡±
¡°Yu Er, endure it a little longer. After empress mother gives birth to a little brother, he will be the crown prince and then emperor, and nobody would dare bully us anymore!¡±
Duanmu Qing gently patted her daughter¡¯s back.
After hearing Duanmu Qing¡¯s words, Longze Yu Er pushed her away.
¡°Crown prince, crown prince, crown prince! In your eyes, in your heart, there¡¯s only little brother. You only want a son; you don¡¯t care about me, this daughter! Since you like sons so much, why didn¡¯t you just strangle me to death when you gave birth to me?!¡±
¡°Yu Er, what are you saying?¡±
Seeing her daughter¡¯s unfamiliar side, Duanmu Qing was frightened. She wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears in Longze Yu Er¡¯s eyes, but her hand was pushed aside.
¡°I despise you. I despise you all! I hate you all!¡±
Longze Yu Er rushed out crying. Duanmu Qing went limp on the ground. Why, why didn¡¯t Yu Er understand her difficulties of being a mother... .... Duanmu Qing stroked her belly. Both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh. Both are her children. She must protect them.
Both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh: both are of equal importance
¡°Baby, because of you, big sister got angry with empress mother. After you grow up, you must protect big sister, do you understand?¡±
Inside Piao Xue Pce, Murong Xue Lian was eating grapes in small chunks. One hand¡¯s on her belly. She had passed six months safely. Three more months and this child woulde into the world. Murong Xue Lian had let an imperial physician look at it in secret. He said it¡¯s a prince which made her very happy.
When this child is born, she must let him be the crown prince! Definitely!
Hu Po came in quietly. She let all the other pce maid retreat. She went to Murong Xue Lian¡¯s back to massage her.
¡°Niangniang1, empress niangniang is one month pregnant and that one in Jing wangfu2 is also pregnant.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Murong Xue Lian had a grape seed in her mouth. She couldn¡¯t swallow it and couldn¡¯t spit it out. It¡¯s choking her, very ufortable.
¡°Are you sure?¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
Murong Xue Lian, who had been in a great mood, immediately had clouds in her expression.
¡°That hen who couldn¡¯ty a egg got pregnant. Really hateful! Also, that bitch wants to fight with bengong3. Could it be that she¡¯s dreaming that the child in her belly will get the ce of crown prince for Longze Jing Tian? Humph!¡±
¡°Niangniang, what do we do?¡±
¡°Let bengong think. Bengong needs to think well about it.¡±
Murong Xue Lian finally spat out the seed. Long red nails on her slender finger touched her belly.
¡°Since these two want to fight with bengong, then don¡¯t me bengong for being ruthless!¡±
The viciousness that shed through Murong Xue Lian¡¯s beautiful face frightened even Hu Po, who had followed her for many years.
¡°Come here!¡±
Murong Xin Lian alsomanded Hu Po with her finger. She whispered in Hu Po¡¯s ears: ¡°Let a rumor out, let the one in Qing Luan Pce know that Jing wang¡¯s4 cefei5 is pregnant. Bengong wants them to have a dogfight.¡±
¡°Niangniang is wise!¡±
In Hu Po¡¯s eyes shed a strange light. Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight is what this master is best at. It seems the calm life is nowing to an end......
Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight: watch in safety whilst others fight then reap the rewards when both sides are exhausted
The ninth of September.
The weather was neither cold nor warm. The sky was cloudless everywhere and in the pce, there¡¯s goldenrod in full bloom. Everywhere, it¡¯s shiny. With one look, it looked full of extravagance.
Longze Yu was very serious about the marriage alliance between Bei Zhou and Xi Qi. That¡¯s why this year¡¯s double ninth festival was exceptionally grandiose. The officials have long arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the pce where the banquet is being held. Even the emperor, the empress and imperial noble consort have arrived.
After waiting for half a day, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, the two main characters haven¡¯t yet arrived. Longze Yu¡¯s expression looked somewhat bad. The people were just sitting around. The atmosphere¡¯s a bit tense.
No need to me these people. After all, Nan Lin wang Feng Cang¡¯s name is too big and his ways are also astonishing. Chopping the heads of forty imperial guards in the capital a while ago made most people admire him. After that, the emperor didn¡¯t pursue the matter. This demonstrated the deterrence of this Bei Zhou¡¯s wangye.
It¡¯s just this wangye is too arrogant. He actually let Xi Qi country¡¯s officials wait for him alone. There¡¯s also that princess Zhao Yang Murong Qi Qi. She actually also didn¡¯te! The officials couldn¡¯t help but cast a variety of eyes again and again at Murong Tai.
At this moment, Murong Tai also couldn¡¯t sit still for much longer. He took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat. When he left, Murong Qi Qi was obviously already awake. He didn¡¯t know why she still hadn¡¯t arrived. If Longze Yu pursued the matter, then it¡¯ll be troublesome.
Murong Tai wished that he could hang Murong Qi Qi and beat her when she arrives. But these are just the thoughts deep in his heart. The truth is that he can¡¯t and he has no way to deal with Murong Qi Qi.
These past days, those people of Bei Zhou used Feng Cang¡¯s name to go tantly in and out of his xiangfu6 From time to time, they would make cutting remarks in Bei Zhou¡¯snguage about him. And also that cook. Every day, he made roastedmb, making the whole xiangfu billow with smoke. Everywhere, there¡¯s the smell ofmb, making him lose appetite for several days.
All these made Murong Tai get headaches, but he couldn¡¯t afford to offend Feng Cang. So he can only endure. In his heart, he wished that Murong Qi Qi would get married, the sooner the better; once gone, gone for good.
While everyone¡¯s wondering what Nan Lin wang and princess Zhao Yang are doing, inside a carriage outside the pce, Murong Qi Qi finally woke up.
Early in the morning, she had been dug out of bed by Feng Yu. Feng Yu said she must definitely beautify herself. The result was that while Murong Qi Qi was sleeping, she let Feng Yu bathe her, dress her ad then paint her body in balm. Then she (FY) put the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ on her (MQQ). Only after that did she (FY) began to make her (MQQ) hair and make-up.
Murong Qi Qi swore she never knew a woman dressing and putting on make-up would take up so much time. Feng Yu had very skillful hands. Just a few turns with her ck hair and a beautiful hairstyle appeared on her head, making Murong Qi Qi sigh in admiration.
Just when Murong Qi Qi thought that everything was done, Feng Yu once again put her on the stool and continued to be busy with her hair. Finally, when the hair was done, Feng Yu began at her face.
From beginning to end, Su Mei and Su Yue didn¡¯t help. They only looked from the side. While they were looking, they will sighing in admiration at Feng Yu¡¯s skillful hands, making Feng Yu more proud and she showed off even more.
The whole process, Murong Qi Qi was half-awake, half-asleep. Several times when she was almost asleep, she would be woken up by Feng Yu. One time, it¡¯s painting the eyebrows; one time, it¡¯s adding blush; another time, it¡¯s to smear rouge on the lips.......
After seeing Feng Yu¡¯s forehead covered with ayer of sweat, even if Murong Qi Qi was very tired, she endured it.
This person was good to her from the bottom of her heart. She¡¯s also doing this for her, so she can¡¯t spoil Feng Yu¡¯s heart. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body was put in front of a mirror after Feng Yu had finished. Su Mei took out a brush and painted a goldenrod on her forehead to match everything Feng Yu did to her.
¡°Princess is really beautiful......¡±
Have to say, after the goldenrod was finished, it made her whole person more vivid and pretty. Feng Yu gracefully put Murong Qi Qi into the carriage. In her heart, she was fantasizing about the expression wangye has when he sees Murong Qi Qi.
How would Feng Yu know that from the moment Murong Qi Qi entered the carriage, she would sleep till she reached the pce gate.
TL Comments:
Held on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, Chongyang Festival is also called Double Ninth Festival. In Chinese, nine is regarded as the number of Yang (which means masculine as opposed to Yin which is feminine). The ninth day of the ninth month is the day that has two Yang numbers, and ¡®chong¡¯ in Chinese means double which is how the name Chongyang was created. It is a day for people to eat Chongyang cake, drink chrysanthemum wine, climb mountains, and pay homage to chrysanthemums.
Just as other Chinese festivals have their own unique story, so does the Chongyang Festival. It is said that, during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 ¨C 220), a devil inhabited the Nu River which caused disease in the neighbouring people. The parent of a young man, named Hengjing, died because of the devil¡¯s magic. In order to rid the people of the devil, Hengjing went through extraordinary lengths to find an immortal to teach him swordsmanship in order to expel the devil.
On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, the immortal told Hengjing that the next day the devil would appear and he was to go back to get rid of the devil and the disease. Taking a bag of dogwood and some chrysanthemum wine, Hengjing returned to his hometown. In the morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Hengjing led all the vigers who were each holding a piece of dogwood leaf and a cup of Chrysanthemum to the nearest mountain. At noon, when the devil came out from the Nu River, the devil suddenly stopped because of the fragrance emitted from the dogwood and the chrysanthemum wine. At that moment Hengjing used the sword to battle the devil for a few rounds and won.
Since then the custom of climbing mountains, drinking chrysanthemum wine and holding onto dogwood on the ninth day of the ninth month have be popr.

Chapter 43 Male and female lead brightened the scene
When Murong Qi Qizily opened her eyes, she smelled something fishy.
¡°Who?¡±
Two threads appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s palms. As soon as the other party takes action, she will also ruthlessly take action.
¡°Did you sleep well?¡±
Feng Cang propped his chin. He didn¡¯t move and only looked at that pair of bright eyes of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. Just now, she slept like a well behaved cat. Now she is like a leopard whose territory got vited. Sure enough, this girl is interesting!
Murong Qi Qi was bursting from anger in her heart. Howe she had slept so deep? He¡¯d appeared before her and she didn¡¯t even notice. Because Su Mei and Su Yue were at her side, that¡¯s why Murong Qi Qi went to sleep without any worries. She didn¡¯t expect that an unexpected character would appear.
¡°Feng Cang......¡±
Murong Qi Qi was more surprised about the man in front of her. Before, she had only heard rumors about Feng Cang. Now seeing him in person made Murong Qi Qi greatly surprised.
His face¡¯s like the moon of the autumn festival. His color is like the spring flowers. His temples seemed as though they were carved out. His eyebrows are like a painting. The contour of his face is like peaches. His gaze is like ripples of spring... ....
It seems that all good words put on this man weren¡¯t overstated... ...
¡°Does Qing Qing really know that I¡¯m Feng Cang?¡±
While Feng Cang was talking, his hand put her messy hair back in ce. That action was as natural as it could be and very adept like they had been spouses for many years. It¡¯s as if he did it more than a thousand times.
¡°I guessed it.¡±
Murong Qi Qi moved slightly backwards to avoid Feng Cang¡¯s hand. To be honest, she isn¡¯t used to being intimate with people, especially if it¡¯s a stranger and a man.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®alienation¡¯ made Feng Cang feel slightly frustrated but it also let him have a trace of happiness. At least his wangfei1 is not someone casual. And she¡¯s also not like those love-struck fools who lost themselves in his appearance and forgot what their names were. This girl¡¯s will is very strong and also sensible, making Feng Cang love Murong Qi Qi even more.
It¡¯s just that seeing her whole body guarding against him and her feeling of wanting to be be alienated from him, made Feng Cang got a headache. What does he need to do to let them be closer? If she is like that with everyone, then what does he need to do to be the only one?
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know that in the head of this Nan Lin wang2 who shook the four countries, it was full of thoughts about how to please her.
¡°Wangye, the hour is gettingte, shouldn¡¯t we go over?¡±
Murong Qi Qi lowered her face and looked submissive. Feng Cang had appeared too suddenly. So sudden that it made her forget her disguise. Now that her mind came back, she once again put up her calm appearance.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s radiant face suddenly be so calm, Feng Cang got more curious about her. How can a person have so many faces and can instantly change expressions?
However what Feng Cang¡¯s certain about is that right now, he had no ce in Murong Q Qi¡¯s heart. That¡¯s why she¡¯s using such an expression to face him.
It seemed that this little wangfei¡¯s guarding against people is really strong. To open the door to her heart and let her show her true self to him would be really very difficult, ah! But when has ever he feared? The more Murong Qi Qi is like this, the more determined Feng Cang is to open the door to her heart.
¡°Qing Qing, let¡¯s go!¡±
Without exnation, Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand.
¡°Wangye......¡±
Murong Qi Qi wanted to shake his hand away, unfortunately his big hand is like an embrace, packaging her hand inside his, making her unable to break away.
Forget it, let him have his way! She couldn¡¯t go against him and show her true colors just because of such a little thing, right? Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi no longer struggled and let Feng Cang hold her hand and also let Feng Cang hug her out of the carriage.
¡°Mi, miss.......¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi in Feng Cang¡¯s embrace, Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s eyes fell out. The two received Murong Qi Qi¡¯s warning look at the same time. They immediately lowered their heads.
Murong Qi Qi was ming them for letting Feng Cang making it so that she was without any preparation. However, she couldn¡¯t me them, ah! These two girls didn¡¯t know why guye3 is so pleasing to their eyes. Together with the bribes before, the natural bnce of their hearts tilted a bit.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t me them. It was I who was afraid to disturb Qing Qing¡¯s good dream and didn¡¯t let them convey to you.¡±
Feng Cang put Murong Qi Qi down and personally help her tidy up her dress.
¡°Qing Qing is really beautiful today!¡±
¡°Wangye......¡±
Murong Qi Qi blushed. The reddish pink looked particrly attractive. She lowered her head even more.
¡°Let¡¯s go, don¡¯t let the people wait so anxiously!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
All the way, Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand. His pace is very big, but he walked very slowly. It seemed that he waited for Murong Qi Qi to be in unison with him. This man¡¯s care and dedication to every detail reached even to the tiniest detail.
When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the eunuch in the front saw the couple who had walked over from far away, his mouth was wide open from being stunned.
Should such a person be owned by the world? Could it be that it¡¯s an angel who¡¯d descended from heaven? The eunuch couldn¡¯t help but rub his eyes. Because of surprise, the eunuch forgot to bow. He just looked at how Feng Cang led Murong Qi Qi in. He also forgot to announce.
¡®Kuangdang......¡¯
When Longze Yu Er, who was originally holding a cup of wine, saw the peopleing in, the cup of wine in her hand fell onto the ground. The smell of wine attracted the attention of people. She didn¡¯t seem to have noticed. She just looked in daze at the people who¡¯d arrived.
She saw that man dressedpletely in white. The wide robe is held by a belt with a green jade. On the hem and cuff are violets embroidered with the finest silver threads. The ck hair is held by one single hawksbill hairpin.
That face, it¡¯s seems a little too devilish. His color is white-like jade, almost transparent like he is sick. Because of the sun, it made him have ayer of gold, making the cold emitting from his body fade a bit.
Looking at those eyes which is so deep as a cold pool of water of a thousand years. It¡¯s like carved from a knife.
Those eyes are crystal clear, but was obscured by the sparkling on the surface, making people unable to guess his inner thoughts. It also made people unable to daree forward to explore him some more. They were concerned that if they¡¯re just a moment careless, they¡¯d get sucked into those eyes and all their thoughts deep inside their hearts would be seen by the owner of this pair of eyes.
He is obviously a man so beautiful like a devil, but his whole body is dressed in white. It just happens that this body in white actually expresses his appearance of a human and a demon. It¡¯s as if he was born for this white color.
When the other people saw Feng Cang, their expression is not much better than Longze Yu Er¡¯s. Even the faces of those consorts of Longze Yu became slightly red like they saw their first love again. They looked at Feng Cang full of feelings.
Devil, really a devil! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart eximed. Fortunately, she saw Feng Cang¡¯s painting before and also her self-control is strong enough. Otherwise, she would be like those people drooling in front of a handsome man. She¡¯s afraid that Feng Cang would¡¯veughed in her face then.
Although Feng Cang had long be ustomed to people¡¯s infatuated eyes, but being stared at like wolves by those women, still made him be very unhappy. He frowned gently. And this frown is also so perfect. People began to draw air.
¡°Did you look enough?¡±
Only when Feng Cang¡¯s deste voice stung the eardrums of those people did they woke up. The pce eunuch and maids who didn¡¯t have inner energy put their hands on their painful ears. The te and jugs in their hands fell onto the ground, making a burst of ¡®dingdang¡¯ sounds.
1. Wangfei: main wife of a wangye
2. Wangye/ wang: prince of the first rank
3. Guye: son-inw/ also used by the servants of the female family when referring to their Mistress¡¯ husband
Chapter 44 Infatuated princess’s regret
Chapter 44 Infatuated princess¡¯s regret
It could be seen that this devilish beauty was also arrogant......
Murong Qi Qi lowered her head and smiled. Long before Feng Cang opened his mouth, her ears were covered by his big hands as if he feared his voice would hurt her. It seemed that he didn¡¯t find out everything about her. That¡¯s very good.
¡°Ahem... ...,¡± Longze Yu coughed twice, embarrassed. The whole scene became chaotic because of Feng Cang. Those eunuchs and maids knew they did wrong. All of them were kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear.
¡°Retreat, retreat!¡±
Longze Yu didn¡¯t punish them. Although these people made him lose face, but what difference was there between him and those people? Wasn¡¯t he also attracted by his face? Really lost face at his own home!
Only then did the people notice the girl standing next to Feng Cang. For a time, no one recognized Murong Qi Qi. Even Murong Tai didn¡¯t recognize his own daughter. Instead, he was wondering who this girl was. Could it be that Feng Cang wanted to break the engagement? And wanted to marry this beauty?
Seeing that she had be the focus of many, Murong Qi Qi was about to greet the emperor and empress who were sitting on the top seat but was pulled up by Feng Cang, who didn¡¯t let her kneel. Why should his people bow and bend the knee for others? He will not allow it!
¡°Qing Qing, our seat is here!¡±
Feng Cang gently held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and led her to their specified seat. His gestures were so gifted and noble, making those women¡¯s eyes almost fall out from envy. All of them were specting as to who this girl was. What did she have to be able to apany such a man?
However, the one who first recognized Murong Qi Qi was Murong Xue Lian. After all, she¡¯s a country¡¯s imperial noble consort. Although Feng Cang was indeed attractive, she knew that the only man she could rely on was this man next to her. That¡¯s why she collected her heart back quickly and observed the girl next to Feng Cang. That appearance was somewhat simr to the Murong Qi Qi from her memories, but Murong Xue Lian wasn¡¯t very sure.
¡°Third little sister......,¡± Murong Xue Lian decided to test the waters.
¡°Greetings to eldest sister!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled and raised her head. She finally saw her big sister of the same mother and father. But when she saw Murong Xue Lian, she was somewhat surprised.
Murong Xue Lian¡¯s features are lovely. She has an oval face, petal-like eyebrows, almond eyes, cherry lips; she¡¯s born with a seductive appearance which seems to emit from her bones. But as her sister of the same mother and father, why are her own looks so different from Murong Xue Lian?
On Murong Xue Lian¡¯s body, you could still see Murong Tai¡¯s shadow. Even the other people in xiangfu1 looked like Murong Tai, but on her own body, it¡¯s something that cannot be found. Could it be that she resembles Li Qui Shui?
It¡¯s just that Li Qui Shui had entered the temple after she was born. Seeing her just once seems harder than seeing the emperor... ...a small question mark appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart.
¡°You are Murong Qi Qi?¡±
Now it¡¯s Longze Yu Er¡¯s turn to be surprised. Her eyes were full of disbelief. When she saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dress, Longze Yu Er¡¯s eyes slowly turned from surprise to hatred.
Longze Yu Er¡¯s shout attracted the attention of several people to Murong Qi Qi. After looking at her from head to toe, everyone sighed. Really people rely on clothes, Buddha demands gold adornments.
People rely on clothes: clothes make the people
Buddha demand gold adornments????: I don¡¯t know what this means. I think it means that even Buddha demands gold to be seen as Buddha.
Earlier on, the matter of Longze Yu Er fighting with Feng Cang over the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ had been spread throughout the whole capital. All the people present knew about the matter. Now seeing the dress on Murong Qi Qi, the women eximed. The originally ordinary Murong Qi Qi had been made like an angel by this dress. Who didn¡¯t want such an oue?!
¡°Is that the ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯?¡±
¡°How beautiful!¡±
¡°My god! When I go back, I need to make a trip to Jue Se Fang!¡±
¡°Lord, you need to buy for me!¡±
Various types of voices reached Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. Her heart has long been so happy that it bloomed like a flower. It seems that giving that ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ to Feng Cang was a good idea. After today¡¯s advertisement, Jue Se Fang¡¯s business will probably have a good start in Xi Qi. By that time, countless gold and silver will go into her pocket.
And when the eyes of those women moved from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body to the crown on her head, Murong Qi Qi felt envy, jealousy and hatreding from them. Even the empress Duanmu Qing was attracted by that gorgeous crown. She couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Is this the new work of Guang Hua gongzi2......¡±
Murong Qi Qi nced once at Feng Cang. Only when he nodded did she answer Duanmu Qing: ¡°Answering empress niangniang3, ¡®Autumn flower¡¯ is Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s treasure at Bei Zhou and has been bought for me by wangye4.¡±
While talking, a faint red appeared on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheeks. When looking at it, people thought she was shy and also made people feel surprised at the level of Feng Cang¡¯s care towards Murong Qi Qi.
However, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words also aroused all the women¡¯s dislike for Longze Yu Er even more. If it wasn¡¯t because of her, would Guang Hua gongzi have migrated Tong Bao Zhai to Bei Zhou? In the future, if they wanted to buy those fine jewelries, it would be so much trouble. They would have to get it from Bei Zhou. This was the ¡®good thing¡¯ that this insensible princess did!
Sensing the hostility from the women, Longze Yu Er¡¯s gaze fiercely swept once over the crowd, forcing those people to lower their heads. But when her gaze met Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, Longze Yu Er clearly saw the ridicule in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes and also the provocation.
That¡¯s right. It¡¯s provocation! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ck and white eyes was entirely full of provocation!
Longze Yu Er clutched her sleeves. Her teeth rattled. That¡¯s right, she regretted it! If she had known sooner that Feng Cang was such a figure, no matter what, she wouldn¡¯t have listened to the rumors and missed this marriage.
At this moment, Longze Yu Er had long forgotten the words Duanmu Qing usually told her. Also Bai Mu Fei, Bai Fu¡¯s eldest daughter-inw, all of this, she threw them to the back of her mind. In her eyes, there¡¯s only Feng Cang and also ¡®Gold thread dress¡¯ and that dazzling ¡®Autumn flower¡¯.
All of these should have been mine! No matter if it¡¯s the handsome Feng Cang, or other things, they should have been hers! Why are they now that rubbish¡¯s?! This is not fair!
Longze Yu Er¡¯s head was filled with such thoughts. From her point of view, all of this was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fault. It¡¯s she who stole everything that belonged to her. Feng Cang¡¯s gentleness, his smile, all of this should have belonged to her, Longze Yu Er. But now they were upied by Murong Qi Qi, she upied her territory!
Longze Yu Er¡¯s dark expression and her eyes full of hatred, Murong Qi Qi was very familiar with them.
It seemed that today wouldn¡¯t pass in ease! But it also seemed that it¡¯s been a long time since she had encountered such a fun thing. Besides, she lived cowardly for so long. It¡¯s time to counterattack. Some people still owe her a debt. Before leaving Xi Qi, she must let them repay her back. Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi revealed a tempting smile.
The smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth was directly defined as ¡®sarcasm¡¯ by Longze Yu Er, making thest string of sensibleness in her head snap.
No, what belonged to her, she must win it back! Why should she let Murong Qi Qi have it?! She is nobler than Murong Qi Qi. She is more beautiful than Murong Qi Qi. No matter where, she is stronger than Murong Qi Qi. Why should she surrender her belongings to Murong Qi Qi?!

2. Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer a famous man
3. Niangniang: used to call the female¡¯s of the imperial family by people of lower rank

Chapter 45 Nan Feng’s princess Ming Yue Xin
Chapter 45 Nan Feng¡¯s princess Ming Yue Xin
Just as Longze Yu Er was about to stand up and make things difficult for Murong Qi Qi, a voice announcing ¡°Nan Feng¡¯s princess Xin has arrived¡± broke her actions.
Recently, it¡¯s be known to everyone that Nan Feng¡¯s country had the intention of forming a marriage alliance with Xi Qi country. As for Nan Feng¡¯s princess Ming Yue Xin, she¡¯s imperial noble consort He Lan Min¡¯s daughter and also the most favorite princess.
Today, Ming Yue Xin arrived at Xi Qi. She had directlye for the position of Jing wangfei1, making the faces of these officials and nobles change expressions. Especially Duanmu Qing, Murong Xue Lian and Murong Xin Lian. All three were rted to this matter. Their expressions didn¡¯t look good.
If Longze Jing Tian really became a couple with Ming Yue Xin, then it meant that behind Longze Jing Tian, there¡¯s Nan Feng country¡¯s support. This was not good news to the empress and imperial noble consort, both of whom hoped that the child in their belly will be the crown prince. Jing wangfei is a country¡¯s princess position, so Murong Xin Lian¡¯s dream of bing wangfei would also get broken.
For a time, an undercurrent spread among these three women. No matter what their starting point was, their goal is now the same: unwilling to let Ming Yue Xin be Jing wangfei.
As the three were thinking of how to deal with the situation, Min Yue Xin slowly entered the hall.
From far away, a figure in white entered the people¡¯s eyes. That white dress is very dreamlike, making the girl appear very refined. The girl¡¯s hair is brushed into a shuangfeiji.
shuangfeiji
shuangfeiji
The head is full of pearl jewelry. With one look, you would know that they hade from famous masters.
As the person approached the gathering, the people couldn¡¯t help butment. Nan Feng has good feng shui. It actually gave birth to such national grace and divine fragrance.
National grace and divine fragrance: outstanding beauty
¡°Xin er2 greets emperor uncle!¡±
Min Yue Xin¡¯s voice was soft and pretty. Especially that ¡®uncle¡¯, which had a taste of a child acting spoiled. When people heard it, their hearts would itch like the feeling of a foxtail caressing the cheek. Really a temptation.
¡°Haha, go sit quickly!¡±
Longze Yuughed. No man could resist feminine beauty even if this beauty was much younger than him.
¡°Last time when zhen3 saw you, you were only four or five. Now ten years have passed, you have grown into a big girl! Zhen couldn¡¯t help but feel old... ...!¡±
¡°Emperor uncle, where are you old? You are still handsome as before!¡±
After Ming Yue Xin sat down, she kept bootlicking Longze Yu, making Longze Yu grin to his ears. Duanmu Qing and Murong Xue Lian, who were sitting beside him, both got ayer of goosebumps.
¡°Really? You are not allowed to lie to zhen!¡±
¡°Emperor uncle, Xin er never tells lies, really!¡±
While Ming Yue Xin is talking, a thumb-sized pearl on her forehead shook, making people have a ripple of amorous feelings.
A pity... ...Murong Qi Qi sighed. The clothes and jewelries on Ming Yue Xin¡¯s body came out of her hands. That white dress is obviously lofty and elegant and the pearls are noble, but has now been matched with a trace of tackiness by Ming Yue Xin. Really wasted!
But whatever the oue, it¡¯s still a living advertisement. At least it let Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang¡¯s name be more known. The profit will also increase. This will be good.
Ming Yue Xin continued topliment Longze Yu as if there was no one else around. Feeling a bit bored at this banquet, Murong Qi Qi lowered her head and yed with the bottle of wine in her hand. Normally they would use cups, but on formal asions, they changed to bottles. But the bottle prepared for Feng Cang was a bit too delicate; gold embedded into jade, very valuable. It did match with Feng Cang¡¯s status.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any interest in Ming Yue Xin. He also didn¡¯t have any interest in this little trick of Nan Feng country and Xi Qi country. The person he¡¯s interested in was the little wangfei sitting next to him.
Murong Qi Qi ying with the wine bottle, Feng Cang¡¯s also watching it earnestly.
What made Feng Cang greatly surprised was that although Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks are ordinary, but that pair of soft, white and slender hands look like a work of art. White as porcin and smooth as silk. The ten fingers are pointy like new bamboo shoot after the rain. Even the fingernails are cute. On the outeryer, there¡¯s a thin painting of wind and mountain, making them appear more beautiful. People couldn¡¯t help but want to take them to admire them.
Before when Murong Qi Qi was asleep inside the carriage, her pair of hands were inside her sleeves. Feng Cang didn¡¯t see them. When he was holding them, he thought that inside his palms, there were really soft small hands. He didn¡¯t look at them carefully. Now that he¡¯s looking at them, he loves them so much. He wished he can y with them every day.
Sensing Feng Cang staring at her hands, Murong Qi Qi quietly hid her hands under her sleeves. Could it be that this Nan Lin wang4 has some strange fetish?
For example, there was once a person with a foot fetish who chopped off human feet and stacked them till they became a tower. On top of the tower was the pair of jade-like feet of his favorite concubine... ....If Feng Cang has a hand fetish, liked to collect human hands and wanted to make a tower out of human hands, then that scene would be really horrific... ...
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small action made Feng Cang surprised for a moment. Then he smiled. He just stared at her and this little wangfei became shy? Then at the wedding night, would she not bury her head into his chest?
It¡¯s just why does someone with such beautiful hands have such ordinary looks? Aside from her pair of eyes... ...could it be that there¡¯s some secret? Could it be that she wore a human skin mask? If it was true, Feng Yu had served Murong Qi Qi for so long, she must have sensed it. How is it that even she couldn¡¯t have sensed it?
The thoughts in these two¡¯s heads were going in opposite directions. The more they thought, the further apart their thoughts became from each other¡¯s. It¡¯s only that the two didn¡¯t notice it. And Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®interactions¡¯, when it reached some people¡¯s eyes, became ¡®the man is full of feeling and the woman is full of desire¡¯. Their hearts had be one.
¡°Humph!¡±
Longze Yu Er forcefully put down the bottle of wine on the table. This sound broke Ming Yue Xin¡¯spliments and also pulled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts back to the banquet.
Following Longze Yu Er¡¯s gaze, Ming Yue Xin saw Feng Cang. With just one look, Ming Yue Xin almost felt that she couldn¡¯t breathe. Heavens! The world actually has such a man! Why did she only meet him today?
Before, Ming Yue Xin also secretly saw Longze Jing Tian. Towards this husband that her consort mother had arranged, Ming Yue Xin was very satisfied. Besides, her consort mother had said that when she became Jing wangfei, she will support her to be the crown princess and let her be the mother of the country.
But now, after seeing Feng Cang, in Ming Yue Xin¡¯s heart, Longze Jing Tian only be so so.
Ming Yue Xin clearly felt her little heart jump. The blood on her body also rushed to her face like a fire, burning her very badly. She has long heard that Nan Lin wang Feng Cang also arrived at Xi Qi, could it be this person was Feng Cang? Why¡¯s there such a big differencepared to the rumors?
Before, there was a Longze Yu Er. Now, there¡¯s a Ming Yue Xin. It seems that this future husband of hers can really attract the bees and butterflies, Murong Qi Qi thought.
Attract bees and butterflies: attract the opposite sex
¡°What is Qing Qing thinking about?¡±
Feng Cang reached out and put Murong Qi Qi¡¯s jade-like hands into his palm. Really small. They didn¡¯t even reach the second joint of his middle finger.
¡°Wangye, everyone is looking... ...¡±
The other party¡¯s intimate action made Murong Qi Qi ufortable. But in front of the crowd, it isn¡¯t good to resist. She could only pretend to be shy. She wanted to draw her hand back, but it had been grabbed by Feng Cang.
¡°Qing Qing¡¯s hand is really beautiful!¡±
These wordsing out of Feng Cang made Murong Qi Qi believe even more that this Nan Lin wang had a hand fetish! He¡¯s obviously quite a normal person; why does he have such a strange fetish?
Seeing the ¡®intimacy¡¯ between the two people, Longze Yu Er blurted: ¡°Shameless!¡±
1. Wangfei: main wife of a wangye
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Zhen: I, used by an emperor
4. Wang/ wangye: prince of the firt rank
Chapter 46 He likes to tease
Chapter 46 He likes to tease
Immediately, the atmosphere turned cold. Feng Cang coldly looked up at Longze Yu Er. His gaze was like an ice knife.
¡°Who are you talking about? Say it once more?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made the whole ce freeze. The icy air emitting from his body made even Longze Yu sitting on the highest seat feel cold. No wonder, at Bei Zhou, there are some who say that they would rather offend the emperor than the demon wang1... ...
¡°I, I... ...,¡± Longze Yu Er stuttered. Don¡¯t know why, but when she met Feng Cang¡¯s pair of eyes full of killing intent, she, who¡¯d always been eloquent, suddenly became someone who didn¡¯t know what to do. Her two rows of teeth were ttering, not because of anger, but because of fear.
The killing intent from that person was real. And this kind of killing intent was not ordinary, but it was the same experience as on the battle field. Just the hostility alone already made people¡¯s heart feel very cold. To put it inly, Longze Yu Er was just a princess who was raised in the pce. When had ever she seen a posture like this?
¡°I, I... ...¡±
Just when the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony had almost be Feng Cang¡¯s icehouse because of Longze Yu Er¡¯s stupidity, Murong Qi Qi spoke softly: ¡°Wangye, I¡¯m hungry.¡±
One ¡®I¡¯m hungry¡¯ pressed down Feng Cang¡¯s emotions. Feng Cang put away the coldness from his body. No matter how big of a thing it was, it couldn¡¯t bepared to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Qing Qing, what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll pick it up for you!¡±
¡°Bamboo shoot!¡±
bamboo shoots
bamboo shoots
Murong Qi Qi pointed at the dish located to the left side of Feng Cang.
¡°Good!¡±
Suddenly, the whole atmosphere rxed. Just a moment ago, it was twenty-seven days after the Winter Solstice. Now, it had returned back to spring. It was a surprise to everyone that Murong Qi Qi had been able to calm down Feng Cang¡¯s emotions. No need to even mention the people of high status. The way they looked at Murong Qi Qi became even more different.
Twenty-seven days after the Winter Solstice: the coldest day of the year
Seeing that all of Feng Cang¡¯s attention was focused entirely on Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Xin quickly stood up.
¡°Emperor uncle, this Xin er2 especially prepared the dance ¡®Tread wave¡¯ for you!¡±
¡°Good, good, good!¡±
Longze Yu was happy that someone hade forward to warm up the scene. Just now, Longze Yu Er acted really too muddle-headed. She actually dared to say that about Feng Cang. Longze Yu broke into a cold sweat because of this reckless daughter. He was afraid that Feng Cang would let her blood stter the hall. At this moment, Ming Yue Xin¡¯s willingness to perform, naturally Longze Yu would support it.
With the y of the music, Ming Yue Xin began to dance. Have to say that her waist was very flexible. Her expression was also in ce, expressing a cute girl vividly and also attracting everyone¡¯s attention.
Longze Jing Tian picked up the bottle of wine and looked at the dance. His gaze fell upon that pair of lovers.
Feng Cang¡¯s greatness was not part of Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expectations. It really matched the old saying ¡®seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times¡¯. No matter what the rumors were, it¡¯s not as urate as seeing it in person. Although Longze Jing Tian is an outstanding person among the imperial children, but nowpared to Feng Cang, he couldn¡¯t help but admit that he would lose on one point.
As for Murong Qi Qi, he¡¯s even more surprised. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t help but think back to the forest when he saw Du Xian Er. Obviously, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks are ordinary and he had seen her several times, but in his mind, he still couldn¡¯t help butpare the two. Even Longze Jing Tian himself felt that it¡¯s strange.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s attitude made Murong Xin Lian sitting next to him mistakenly think that he took a fancy at Ming Yue Xin. Looking at the girl vividly dancing, Murong Xue Lian¡¯s palms were full of cold sweats.
What should she do? What should she do?! If Ming Yue Xin announced that she wants a marriage alliance with Longze Jing Tian, then what should she do? Being stepped on by an official wife who is a princess, even if she gives birth to a son, it will only be a son from the illegitimate line. He simply cannot be someone bigger!
No! Can¡¯t let Ming Yue Xin enter the fu3! Only she, Murong Xin Lian, can be Jing wangfei4 and only she has the right to be the future empress! Just in a moment, Murong Xin Lian made up her mind. She needs topete with Ming Yue Xin to see who is better. She can¡¯t let her position be upied by another!
On the other side, Ming Yue Cheng was still wearing a purple robe. On the table was his beloved wine gourd. The only difference today was that his hair¡¯s neatlybed with a crown above his head. It¡¯s just on his forehead, there were a few strands of hair, which highlighted the owner¡¯s original character.
Ming Yue Cheng poured wine for himself and drank on his own. He also wasn¡¯t sitting ording to etiquette like the others. Instead, he had found afortable position and leaned in that position. His gaze steadily stared at Murong Qi Qi.
After not having seen her for a few days, the aura around this girl seemed to have be more powerful. Just now, she was the closest to Feng Cang when he showed hostility, but she not only wasn¡¯t afraid but actually dispersed the hostility with a few floating words. It seems that this girl¡¯s ability is great! Or Feng Cang also knew that she is different... ...
Ming Yue Xin did her best to move her waist. From time to time, she would look at Feng Cang. But Feng Cang didn¡¯t seem to have any interest in Ming Yue Xin. He just cared about his little wangfei now. He mustn¡¯t let her go hungry. Finally, he got the interest, put down his status as wangye and began to serve Murong Qi Qi dishes.
¡°Eat more, you are too skinny. Having a little more meat is a good feel... ...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qi almost bite her tongue. Good feel? Does he like the types with more meat?
¡°Wangye, no matter how much I eat, I won¡¯t be fat.¡±
¡°Oh... ...¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Feng Cang looked at her thoughtfully for a long time before saying: ¡°Qing Qing, I heard that after a woman gets married and is in a loving rtionship with her husband, they will gain some weight. Why don¡¯t we get married as soon as possible?!¡±
¡°Ke ke......¡±
Murong Qi Qi choked. This wangye seemed to not rest if he hasn¡¯t startled people. What loving rtionship? His other wives didn¡¯t even live past the wedding night! Could it be the earlier they marry, the earlier she¡¯ll meet her demise and go reincarnate?
¡°Qing Qing, the direction of your thoughts is wrong!¡±
After realizing what Murong Qi Qi was thinking, Feng Cang pushed that devilish face forward. That pair of beautiful eyes locked onto Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. He earnestly said: ¡°Qing Qing, I don¡¯t eat people!¡±
¡°Pu... ...¡±
Finally, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. All the food in her mouth sprayed onto Feng Cang¡¯s face.
¡°Eh... ...¡±
Seeing the scattered rice on Feng Cang¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qiughed embarrassingly. A pair of hands quickly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his face casually.
¡°Wangye, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I just couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore... ....¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi spray rice on Feng Cang¡¯s face, Longze Yu Erughed. She¡¯d heard that Feng Cang had an obsession with cleanliness. Murong Qi Qi acting like this, wouldn¡¯t he kill her?
The eyes that were originally on Ming Yue Xin, were now staring at Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. In a moment, the atmosphere turned even stranger than before. Many people were mourning for the unlucky Murong Qi Qi. Provoking demon wang, hope she makes the best of it!
Feng Cang didn¡¯t seem to have noticed the strange atmosphere. Instead, he was enjoying Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®serve¡¯. Her hands are really soft and there¡¯s also a faint fragrance on them. This fragrance is different from the women¡¯s smell powder, but instead it has a natural sweetness, a kind of green apple vor.
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s apple! Thinking till here, Feng Cang moved his gaze to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s not thin nor thick pair of red lips. Don¡¯t know if the taste there also has the smell of apples! Sentimental with a slight sweetness.......
Chapter 47 Snobbish mother
Chapter 47 Snobbish mother
If Murong Qi Qi knew that Feng Cang¡¯s mind was now full of thoughts on how to explore the taste of her lips, she would¡¯ve let a p hit his face. She would¡¯ve let the hand Feng Cang loves so much go greet his devilish beautiful face.
¡°Wangye1, is it not better if you go change clothes... ....¡±
Although Murong Qi Qi wiped off the rice on Feng Cang¡¯s face, the soup on those white clothes couldn¡¯t be removed.
Murong Qi Qi wiped it for quite a while before finally giving up. She hanged her head guiltily like a child who did something wrong and was waiting to be scolded by an adult.
That look was so well behaved and so cute, making Feng Cang really happy. Then he looked at his clothes. It¡¯s indeed dirty.
If it was a normal day, Feng Cang would¡¯ve long gone to change his clothes, but today¡¯s different. Murong Qi Qi was still here. Besides, the people here were not easy... ...Thinking till here, Feng Cang asked Murong Qi Qi in a low gentle voice: ¡°Qing Qing, is it alright if I leave for a moment?¡±
¡°Is it alright?¡± It¡¯s not asking Murong Qi Qi if he can leave, but it¡¯s asking Murong Qi Qi whether or not she can deal with the situation.
Seeing Feng Cang being so careful, Murong Qi Qi finally revealed her first sincere smile of the day: ¡°It¡¯s not like wangye wouldn¡¯te back. I will wait for you here.¡±
A ¡®I wait for you¡¯ made Feng Cang¡¯s heart jump. So having someone waiting for you is so wonderful.
¡°Wait for me!¡± Feng Cang pressed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. He stood up, swept his gaze over the crowd. His gaze especially stayed on Longze Yu Er, making her tremble.
Knowing that Feng Cang was worried that while he¡¯s absent, Longze Yu Er would make trouble for her, hence the ring, Murong Qi Qi was somewhat touched.
So far, the care that this man has shown her was not fake. If his concern is false, then he can simply go and be an Oscar winner.
¡°I¡¯ll be back soon... ...¡±
Feng Cang, under the guide of servants, went to a side hall to change. The atmosphere at the Hall of Supreme Harmony became more lively because of his departure.
They didn¡¯t see Feng Cang scold Murong Qi Qi, some people felt slight regret. They were hoping to add salt to the wound. Shortly afterwards, dancers came up. The scene became bustling again.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s gaze seemed to always be falling on Nan Feng¡¯s princess Ming Yue Xin, making Murong Xin Lian, who¡¯s sitting next to him, feel sour. She¡¯s now more sure that Longze Jing Tian had taken a fancy to Ming Yue Xin and she¡¯s also more uneasy and worried about her future.
After thinking for a moment, Murong Xin Lian finally stood up. She¡¯s the number one beauty in the capital and her talent is also outstanding. She can¡¯t be pressed down like this by Ming Yue Xin. She must also show people her dance skills and attract Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart.
Murong Xin Lian volunteering to dance made Longze Yu very happy. Ming Yue Xin¡¯s dance was superb. Xi Qi country couldn¡¯t do a bad jobpared to Nan Feng country.
¡°Zhen2 gives permission!¡±
Seeing Murong Xin Lian dance, both Duanmu Qing and Murong Xue Lian revealed a mysterious smile. Two pair of eyes closely watched Murong Xin Lian¡¯s belly. They didn¡¯t even leave for a second.
Although knowing that she¡¯s pregnant and needed to rest, but now in the moment between life and death, Murong Xin Lian didn¡¯t want to give up the position of wangfei3 like this. She¡¯s gambling, gambling with the child in her belly. If she loses the child, but get Longze Jing Tian¡¯s favor, get the position of wangfei, then why shouldn¡¯t she do it? If the child is alright and she can be wangfei, then that¡¯s even better!
Child, mother¡¯s future is relying on you now. You must live up the expectations, ah! When she got on the scene, Murong Xin Lian gently touched her lower abdomen.
This action went into Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes. He sneered. This woman must¡¯ve be crazy from wishing for power! In order to chase fame and fortune, she even gambled her child¡¯s life. To this child, having such a mother is simply the saddest thing......
After seeing such action from Murong Xin Lian, Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t help but think about his own mother consort Xian He Xin Er.
He Xin Er has passed away for many years, but her voice and expression remained in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart. In the past, the imperial physician diagnosed that her body was too weak to have children, but after getting pregnant, she insisted on letting the child be born. That¡¯s why there¡¯s Longze Jing Tian.
Although for the next five years, He Xin Er spent her days in bed because of a too weak body and she also lost Longze Yu¡¯s favor because of this, the love she had for Longze Jing Tian was the greatest and the most selfless. Even at the time when she had to leave this world, she didn¡¯t forget to request Longze Yu to look after Longze Jing Tian.
Compared with He Xin Er, Murong Xin Lian doesn¡¯t even have the right to be a mother! She also isn¡¯t qualified to be a mother! Longze Jing Tian humphed coldly. In his heart, he has long sentenced Murong Xin Lian to death.
Murong Xin Lian couldn¡¯t fathom Longze Jing Tian¡¯s mood. Her body swayed ording to the music. She danced Xi Qi country¡¯s national dance¡ª-picking tea dance.
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s dress was too gorgeous. It didn¡¯t express the meaning of the dance very well, but her dance was quite good. After all, for the title of the number one beauty, she also paid a lot of hard work. No matter if it¡¯s the qin skills or the dance skills, she had intensive training.
The people who knew that Ming Yue Xin came here to form a marriage alliance with Longze Jing Tian, after seeing Jing wang ce fei¡¯s4 performance, all knew what was going on. This ce fei must not be willing for the position of Jing wangfei to be taken away by another woman, that¡¯s why she wanted topete with Nan Feng¡¯s princess.
It seems that there will be a good show again! Those spectators, who had lost their hearts just now because of Murong Qi Qi, revived again. Don¡¯t know who will be the final winner after this. Many people secretlypared the two in their hearts.
As for the involved party Ming Yue Xin, at this moment, her attention was stuck on Murong Qi Qi. Compared to Longze Jing Tian, she¡¯s now more interested in Feng Cang. And Feng Cang¡¯s future wangfei Murong Qi Qi has now be Ming Yue Xin¡¯s rival.
In just a moment, Ming Yue Xin got to know about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®glorious past¡¯.
Humph! Just a rubbish who was pushed forward as the ¡®scapegoat¡¯. What right does Murong Qi Qi have topete with her?
Ming Yue Xin doesn¡¯t believe that Feng Cang would chose a rubbish as wangfei and that he isn¡¯t tempted by her, a princess of a country! Men love country and love beauty. Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯tpete with her on beauty. Her (MQQ) family background is even more iparable with hers (MYX). This bet, she will definitely win!
However, Ming Yue Xin is more cautious than Longze Yu Er. Just now, everyone saw Feng Cang¡¯s care towards Murong Qi Qi. She can¡¯t be too rash, lest she would end up like that stupid Longze Yu Er who hasn¡¯t even gambled yet, but has already lost from the start!
At this moment, Ming Yue Xin¡¯s mind is full of thoughts on how to grab Feng Cang¡¯s attention and how to get his favor. She didn¡¯t even care about Murong Xin Lian and also put all the words that He Lan Min had told her before she came here at the back of her mind.
After Murong Xin Lian stopped while panting, Longze Yu was the first to p.
¡°Award!¡±
Longze Yu seemed very happy.
A ¡®award¡¯ made Murong Xin Lian felt that she had already won half of it. The remaining half must rely on luck! She couldn¡¯t help but nce at Longze Jing Tian. The first thing she wants to know is if he¡¯s satisfied with her performance.
Wangye/ wang: prince of the first rank ?
Zhen: I, used by an emperor ?
Wangfei: main wife of a wangye ?
Wang cefei/ cefei: ssecond ranked wife of a wangye
Chapter 48 Wangye, they are bullying me
Chapter 48 Wangye, they are bullying me
Longze Jing Tian smiled at Murong Xin Lian, this smile let Murong Xin Lian¡¯s disturbed heart calm down. He has always been cold, but now he smiled at her. This means, after he watched her dance he likes it! Murong Xin Lian was very happy. She walked back and sat down next to Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Ce wangfei1, this is what empress niangniang2 awards you.¡±
A pce maid appeared in front of Murong Xin Lian. She put down a te of dessert and a ss of wine down. Then she quietly retreated.
Murong Xin Lian raised her head and saw Longze Jing Tian nod at her. She knows that she just performed well. She has been praised by the emperor. This is the same as a reasurement for him. Thinking till here, Murong Xin Lian was even happier. The heat made her feel somewhat thirsty. She tasted the dessert and drank the wine.
¡°Emperor uncle, at Nan Feng, Xin er3 heard that Xi Qi¡¯s imperial noble consort and Jing wang¡¯s4 cefei are sisters. The two are number one beauties and also have numerous talents. Just now, seeing cefei¡¯s dance, Xin er couldn¡¯t help but admire from the bottom of my heart. It seems that all misses from Murong fu5 are exceptional. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know if Murong third miss is also as remarkable as her two sisters......¡±
Ming Yue Xin¡¯s words once again let everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Murong Qi Qi. Knowing the other party¡¯s intention, Murong Qi Qi lowered her head. She yed with her fingers as if there was no one around. As if she didn¡¯t hear Ming Yue Xin and she doesn¡¯t seem to know that Ming Yue Xin is waiting for her to make a fool out of herself.
¡°This.......¡±
Longze Yu saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression, he was somewhat embarrassed and helpless.
Although Murong Qi Qi is Murong fu¡¯s third miss, but now she has another identity. That¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s Nan Lin wang¡¯s wangfei6. And just now everyone saw the attitude of Feng Cang towards Murong Qi Qi. Even if Longze Yu was muddle headed, he won¡¯t go look for trouble at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s.
At this time, the one who is the happiest can¡¯t be anyone but Longze Yu Er. Having Ming Yue Xin¡¯s at the head, she can just put a bit of firewood. She doesn¡¯t believe that it won¡¯t burn up.
¡°Third miss, since it¡¯s a pce banquet, everyone is just nning to have fun. Princess Xin and Xin Lian imperial sister inw has danced a dance. Why don¡¯t you also let us open our eyes, alright?¡±
Having Longze Yu Er join, this matter became even more interesting. Murong Qi Qi finally raised her head and revealed an innocent smile.
¡°Can it be that the edict emperor made known to the world is false? Why does everyone not know that bengong7 is already princess Zhao Yang? Or is it that a princess title bestowed by emperor less noble than a princess from the imperial family, so that why I need to be like a geisha and please the crowd to let them have fun?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Ming Yue Xin and Murong Xin Lian¡¯s expression change dramatically. What does she mean? Is it making fun of their action for being like a geisha? The two red fiercely at Murong Qi Qi, but the other party still has a ¡®I¡¯m innocent¡¯ expression which immediately made anger rose in the two¡¯s hearts.
¡°Ah, a rubbish is just a rubbish. Even if you let her wear a princess hat, she will still be a rubbish.¡±
Taking advantage that Feng Cang isn¡¯t here, Longze Yu Er continued to attack Murong Qi Qi with vicious words.
Anyway, the other party has information that can be used against her (MQQ) in her (LYE) hand. If it bes a big deal, she can just make those scandals of Murong Qi Qi public. Presumably Feng Cang won¡¯t marry a wangfei full of misdeeds, not to mention that she isn¡¯t a virgin anymore! These pasts of Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang certainly doesn¡¯t know them!
Nobody spoke against Longze Yu Er¡¯s words. Longze Yu, Duanmu Qing and Murong Xue Lian only listened, nobody stopped her.
Seeing all of these people with the appearance of spectators, Murong Qi Qi sneered in her heart. Just now when Feng Cang was here, they were like mouse seeing cat. They didn¡¯t even dare to breath loudly. Now they didn¡¯t have any care and said what they wanted. Really dog eyes who looked down at people!
¡°What are you talking about?¡±
Just as Murong Qi Qi was about to counter attack, when a soft voce ringed in her ears. Feng Cang came back after changing into clean clothes.
Seeing Feng Cang, Longze Yu Er¡¯s expression changed. She didn¡¯t know if Feng Cang heard those sarcastic words or not......
¡°Wangye, you finally came back!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked up with a face full of grievances. Two sparkling tears rolled in those ck and white eyes for a long time, before they finally rolled down her face and fell onto Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
¡°What happened?!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi cry, Feng Cang felt that his heart was also in pain. The aura of hostility on his body also broke out.
¡°Qing Qing, who bullied you? After you tell benwang, benwang 8 will give you justice!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made Longze Yu¡¯s heart tremble.
This Feng Cang is someone who says something and will definitely do it. Even if he is at Xi Qi country now, if he wants to kill someone, as an emperor Longze Yu is also unable to prevent it. Although Feng Cang only came with thousand eagle guards, but those thousand eagle guards are elites; one can kill hundred. It¡¯s not impossible if Feng Cang wants his pce to meet its demise.
¡°They!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fingers circled around the entire banquet. She included everyone who wanted to watch a y, making Longze Yu¡¯s little e heart shook badly
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid!¡±
Feng Cang pulled Murong Qi Qi into his embrace and gently wiped the tears for her.
¡°It seems that Xi Qi country already healed from the scar of fifteen years ago. That¡¯s why in everyone¡¯s eyes, Bei Zhou is nothing. Feng Cang is also nothing. So, that¡¯s why you dare to insult benwang¡¯s beloved consort......¡±
Feng Cang said those words very slowly and also extremely gently as if he was just telling something and didn¡¯t seem to have any lethal energy. But the people who heard those words, began to worry in their hearts.
Everyone knows that Bei Zhou is the strongest amongst the four countries. Their military force is also the strongest and Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor Wanyan Lie is very ambitious. He likes the war very much and Feng Cang is a rare genius at war. Plus, the fact that this Nan Lin wang¡¯s personality is strange. If he really uses this as an excuse to dere war, the consequences will simply be disastrous!
¡°Misunderstanding, all was a misunderstanding!¡±
Longze Yu quickly tried to save everything and also continued to send signals at Murong Qi Qi to let her exin.
Just now he has an expression that it¡¯s not rted to him and now he is begging her? Is she Murong Qi Qi so good to speak to? Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth lifted. Her tears continued to spread, making Feng Cang anxious. He continued to wiped her tears. The cold aura on his body became more intense.
¡°Wangye, they say I¡¯m rubbish andughed at me that I can¡¯t do anything. I argued, but no one believed. Everyone bet that princess Xin and princess Ping Yang will win. No one believed in me......¡±
Murong Qi Qi voice was very soft full of innocence and grievances, making people who just listen to the sound will willingly protect this little poor thing.
After hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Longze Yu almost vomited blood. What is called add oil and vinegar? What is called pour oil on the fire? How can Murong Qi Qi make up those words to have said it so smoothly? Not only was Longze Yu surprised, the other people who heard those words also almost fainted.
Add oil and vinegar: exaggerate things
Pour oil on the fire: enrage people and make matters worse
It seems that this princess Zhao Yang can also invert the right and wrong! Ming Yue Cheng at a side revealed a meaningful smile. Just now he was worried that she will be insulted by people. Now it seems that his concerns are superfluous. This woman is a master at ying games!
And seeing Murong Qi Qi act ¡®spoiled¡¯ to Feng Cang, Longze Jing Tian felt strange in his heart. If he had insisted, then will the one embracing her now be him?
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m not a rubbish. If you don¡¯t believe me, I can gopete with them! Really, I won¡¯t let you lose face!¡±
Ce wangfei/ cefei: second ranked wife of a wangye ?
Niangniang: used to call a female of the imperial family by someon of lower rank ?
Er: term of endearment ?
Wang/ wangye: prince of the first rank ?
Fu: residence/ mansion ?
Wangfei: main wife of a wangye ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Benwang: I, used by a wangye
Chapter 49 Bet on your lives
Chapter 49 Bet on your lives
¡°Who said Qing Qing is a rubbish? Qing Qing has more capabilities than any of them! What does Qing Qing want topete in? They don¡¯t believe in you; I believe in you. I bet a hundred thousand golden taels that Qing Qing will win!¡±
One hundred thousand golden taels! The people around couldn¡¯t help but exim! They heard that the Gold thread dress on Murong Qi Qi is worth ten thousand golden teals. This Nan Lin wang1 is really too generous!
Now everyone is looking at Murong Qi Qi from the top to the bottom. They wanted to see some clues on her body. No matter how they look, she¡¯s just an ordinary beauty; pure and cute. She doesn¡¯t have the fox beauty. How was she able to make Nan Lin wang be crazy about her? Not only did hee forward for her, but also gave her backing? Really don¡¯t understand, ah... ....
¡°Wangye, talking about money will hurt feelings. It¡¯s a bit vulgar, how can this be worthy of wangye¡¯s status!¡±
Just as everybody was sighing, Murong Qi Qi spoke softly: ¡°Besides, you protecting me like this, I¡¯m afraid that you have scarred the two big sisters. How would they dare to show off in front of you? This seems a bit unfair to the two princesses.......¡±
Unfair? Feng Cang smiled. It seems that little wangfei2 has found some fun.
¡°Qing Qing, what do you want then?¡±
The little person in his embrace had a faint fragrance on her body, making him a bit obsessed with it. Forget it, let her y. Anyway, if something goes wrong, he¡¯ll clean-up for her......
¡°Just take it as a girls¡¯ game. It has nothing to do with others!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood up and went to the middle of the hall. She looked at Longze Yu Er and Ming Yue Xin smilingly. Her face is as smooth as jade. There simply isn¡¯t a trace of those tears anymore.
¡°Just us three ying for a moment, how does that sound? Don¡¯t take out the identity of a princess and also don¡¯t put emperor or wangye out to scare others. We bet between us, how about that?¡±
How could Longze Yu Er stand being provoked by a rubbish? She immediately stood out and walked to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Alright, bengong3 takes this bet!¡±
At the other side, Ming Yue Xin also came over. She was not afraid! Besides, she needs to get that position of Nan Lin wangfei!
¡°Alright, what do we bet?¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we bet what we have? For example, bengong¡¯s crown, bengong¡¯s position of wangfei or... ... ...your lives!¡±
The lethality of thest phrase ¡®your lives¡¯ing out of Murong Qi Qi soft voice was diminished a lot. In Longze Yu Er¡¯s and Ming Yue Xin¡¯s ears, it sounded like a joke.
¡°Betting lives? What a big tone! Can you afford to bet?¡±
The mockery on Ming Yue Xin¡¯s face was very evident. A rubbish daring to just bluster things out. What kind of ability does she has? Besides, just now, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t let Feng Cang help. Putting aside her backing, she¡¯s just a useless thing... ...
Ming Yue Xin¡¯s words let Longze Yu Er pinch a sweat. But after seeing that Feng Cang¡¯s just sitting there, without any intention of helping Murong Qi Qi, Longze Yu Er put her heart at ease. It seemed that Feng Cang really doesn¡¯t n on reaching out a helping hand. That¡¯s why her courage also gradually became bigger.
¡°That¡¯s right, ah. Can you afford to bet it?¡±
¡°Hehe... ...¡±
Seeing that the matter was developing ording to her expectations, Murong Qi Qi smiled.
¡°Since the two big sisters aren¡¯t at ease, we can write down an agreement! Today, there are representatives of all three countries, we can ask them to be the judge, isn¡¯t that right?¡±
¡°Setting an agreement of the bet? This is not bad!¡±
Longze Yu Er was very happy. Just now, she had been worried that Murong Qi Qi would put Feng Can out to protect her. She (LYE) didn¡¯t expect that she (MQQ) would make such a request. Didn¡¯t this fit her(LYE) own purpose?
Anyway, if Murong Qi Qi loses, even if they want her life, Feng Cang will not vite the bet agreement. After all, offending two countries because of a woman is not a worthwhile thing!
¡°Emperor, since it¡¯s like this, why don¡¯t we invite Nan Lin wang, Nan Feng¡¯s crown prince and Jing wang to be the judges!¡±
High on the tform, Murong Xue Lian¡¯s jade hand moved back and forth on the back of Longze Yu¡¯s hand. No matter what, today¡¯s matter has nothing to do with her. No matter what the oue is, she will be happy. So this imperial noble consort would dly push the boat with the current.
Push the boat with the current: take advantage of the situation for one¡¯s own benefit.
¡°Alright!¡±
Longze Yu nodded. At least, if something happened like this, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t hold anyone ountable for it.
¡°It¡¯s just what do you want to bet on?¡±
¡°Emperor, why don¡¯t youe up with the subject?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi threw this question to Longze Yu.
¡°This... ...¡±
Longze Yu narrowed his eyes in deep thoughts.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s performance just now made Longze Yu very dissatisfied. She¡¯s just a bestowed princess; does she really think she¡¯s something?! She didn¡¯t even marry and already forgot that she¡¯s Xi Qi¡¯s citizen. She almost stabbed him in the back and also ignored him when he sent her signals with his eyes. He must let her suffer to make her know how much she weighs!
Weighs here means what kind of position/importance she has.
Longze Yu looked at Ming Yue Xin and Longze Yu Er. Ming Yue Xin is famous for her paintings in Nan Feng. Although his daughter is somewhat mischievous, but she wouldn¡¯t lose to Murong Qi Qi in this. Thinking till here, Longze Yu cleared his throat: ¡°This year, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden has just opened. Why don¡¯t youpete on painting! The subject is chrysanthemum, along with a poem!¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Ming Yue Xin was the first one to agree. In this respect, she¡¯s an expert. She didn¡¯t believe that Murong Qi Qi could win over her. Ming Yue Xin looked provocatively at Murong Qi Qi once as if she was saying ¡®you¡¯re dead!¡¯.
Towards Ming Yue Xin¡¯s provocative eyes, Murong Qi Qi onlyughed: ¡°Since we already have the subject, we can now talk about the bet!¡±
¡°I want the position of Nan Lin wangfei!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to finish, Longze Yu Er rushed to say it out loud.
¡°If you lose the position of Nan Lin wangfei is bengong¡¯s!¡±
¡°Yu Er!¡±
Hearing her daughter¡¯s words, empress Duanmu Qing was shocked. She never expected that Longze Yu Er¡¯s heart would move for Feng Cang. Although that man is very beautiful, but he isn¡¯t a good person, ah!
Even Longze Yu frowned. Before, the one who cried and refused to be Nan Lin wangfei was her. Now, the one who is fighting to be it is also her. This daughter, ah. In the end, she had been spoiled by him......Longze Yu helplessly shook his head.
¡°What about you?¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at Ming Yue Xin.
¡°Bengong wants your life!¡±
Ming Yue Xin revealed a ruthless smile. She won¡¯t be as mindless as Longze Yu Er. If there¡¯s a possibility that Feng Cang really has an interest for Murong Qi Qi, and would not letting her be Nan Lin wangfei, then he can let her be cefei4. That¡¯s why she wants her life! As long as Murong Qi Qi is dead, with her talent, beauty and her noble identity, Ming Yue Xin didn¡¯t believe that Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t be tempted!
¡°Good... ...if you win, I will surely let your wishese true.¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled like a dream and a fantasy.
¡°As for bengong, usually what bengong likes the most is collecting beautiful things. The two princesses¡¯ hands are very beautiful. If you lose, troubling you to leave your pair of hands here... ...¡±
Leave a pair of hands? The moment Longze Yu Er thought about the image of her hands being chopped off, she couldn¡¯t help but shudder. She wanted to back off, but when she met Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, she could see the sarcasm at the bottom of her eyes. Longze Yu Er gritted her teeth and took the bet.
¡°Good! No problem! Now we only have to see if you have the ability!¡±
¡°Bengong also doesn¡¯t have a problem with it!¡±
Ming Yue Xin was full of confidence. Confronting Murong Qi Qi, she only needs a small finger. She has nothing to worry about.
Wang/ wangye: prince of the first rank ?
Wangfei: wife of a wangye ?
Bengong: I, used by a female of the imperial family ?
Cefei/ ce wangfei: second ranked wife of a wangye
Chapter 50 Borrow your blood for a moment
Chapter 50 Borrow your blood for a moment
Immediately, a paper was brought up where the bet had been written in ck ink on white paper. The three read it over once. Since there weren¡¯t any questions, they put down their fingerprints.
¡°To the imperial garden!¡±
Because of the bet of the three princesses, it became crowded inside the imperial garden. Aside from those high level officials and their wives who were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the aristocratic and officials¡¯ families who were waiting outside also came over. Everyone wanted to see thispetition.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi once again, Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji were shocked. Normally, she was dressed very inly; now that she had dressed up, she didn¡¯t lose to others. When they saw Feng Cang next to Murong Qi Qi, they were even more surprised. So Nan Lin wang1 turned out to be such a beautiful person!
Feng Cang¡¯s appearance once again caused a small sensation. All those bad rumors about him was crushed by that devilishly beautiful face of his. In particr, the hearts of those misses were greatly moved. When they saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s clothes and crown, they all became envious.
¡°Heavens! Is she Murong Qi Qi?¡±
Duanmu Yi Yi prodded Murong Qing Lian and found that the other party had lost her mind on Feng Cang¡¯s beauty.
Duanmu Yi Yi had already seen Feng Cang. He is indeed a stunning man, but Duanmu Yi Yi felt such a devilishly beautiful man is too unreal. Inparison, she prefers Longze Jing Tian more.
Duanmu Yi Yi already knew that Ming Yue Xin hade to form a marriage alliance. Now, Ming Yue Xin ispeting with Murong Qi Qi. Although Duanmu Yi Yi doesn¡¯t like Murong Qi Qi, but she still hopes that Murong Qi Qi will win. After all, if Murong Qi Qi wins, Ming Yue Xin will lose face. In Duanmu Yi Yi¡¯s eyes, that is a happy thing.
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes never left Feng Cang since the moment he appeared. Heavens, since the moment she was born until now, she actually didn¡¯t know that in this world, there¡¯s such a man. He really is the favorite of the heaven and earth... ...
After the bet agreement was made public, the content caused an uproar. It¡¯s known in the capital that Murong Qi Qi is a rubbish. Even if she had recently made two songs, but it still can¡¯t change her identity as a rubbish. On the surface, this didn¡¯t seem to be a bet in favor of Murong Qi Qi!
¡°Big brother, what do you think?¡±
At Bai Yi Yue¡¯s side stood Bai Mu Fei. The brother is handsome, the sister fresh and pure. They looked very outstanding in the crowd.
¡°Ah......¡±
Bai Mu Fei smiled, this third miss Murong had brought them too many miracles. Presumably, today there will also be a miracle!
¡°I bet that princess Zhao Yang will win!¡±
Bai Mu Fei was so sure, Bai Yi Yue also smiled: ¡°I think the same as big brother!¡±
But this was only the Bai sibling thoughts. In most people¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi will definitely lose. No! She is dead! After she loses, Ming Yue Xin will take her life. So losing is dying. Dying is also losing.
The tform where the paintingpetition would take ce was built in a moment. Three people, three ces where they would not disturb each other. The time is one incense stick. Incense has been lit. Paint of good quality was brought out for the three people by pce servants.
When they reached Murong Qi Qi, just as the pce maid was about to hand over the paint, she had a slip of hand. The porcin box fell on the ground, breaking into pieces. The paint inside scattered all over the ground. With a gust of wind, those powdered colors flew away.
¡°Aiya, how can you be so careless?!¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s voice, which sounded like she¡¯s rejoicing from other¡¯s misfortune, sounded at the back of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°What do we do now? Without paint, how can you paint, ah?¡±
¡°Asking princess for forgiveness! This ve didn¡¯t do it on purpose! This ve didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡±
Although the pce maid knelt down in front of Murong Qi Qi and her mouth kept saying ¡®asking princess for forgiveness¡¯, but the tone of her voice didn¡¯t show any guilt. It seemed that it had some happiness and the feeling of sess in it. It seemed that this pce maid definitely did it on purpose and she must¡¯ve been ordered by someone.
Such a person, she would definitely calcte with her in a moment. Murong Qi Qi rolled the paper open. She leisurely started grinding.
¡°First, continue kneeling......¡±
Originally, she thought that without paint, Murong Qi Qi would surely be frantic or directly admit defeat, but all this time, she was calm as if nothing had affected her mood. Instead, it let people admire this princess Zhao Yang¡¯s tolerance.
The wind was blowing slowly. The incense had already burned down to half.
Ming Yue Xin and Longze Yu Er have long began to paint, only Murong Qi Qi was still grinding. She seemed like she wasn¡¯t worried, making the onlookers couldn¡¯t help but pinch a cold sweat for her!
At this time, Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. What¡¯s the matter with Murong Qi Qi? Just now, she had the look that she would win; so why is she indifferent now? Could it be that she gave up? Or is it that she really didn¡¯t want to be Nan Lin wangfei2? If it¡¯s like that, then after she loses and Ming Yue Xin is making trouble for her, he muste forward to protect her!
Compared to Longze Jing Tian, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression seemed more at ease, but in his heart, he was really worried. He didn¡¯t know what Murong Qi Qi wanted to do. Although he¡¯s very willing to believe that Murong Qi Qi would win, but towards this imperial little sister Ming Yue Xin¡¯s capabilities, Ming Yue Cheng is more or less clear about. If in the end, Murong Qi Qi really lost, what method should he use to protect her?
The only person who didn¡¯t change was Feng Cang. This wangye seemed assured of sess. His expression was calm as always. He sipped tea with an expression that showed he was not worried. And his calm demeanor looked more tempting, making Murong Qing Lian blush.
Why did Murong Qi Qi this rubbish had to meet such a man? If she had known it¡¯ll be like this, then she should¡¯ve taken the initiative and pleaded. Even if it¡¯s chongxi3!
¡°You, get up!¡±
Finally, just when everyone almost lost their patience with waiting, Murong Qi Qimanded with her fingers at the pce maid who had just broken the porcin box to let here over.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s innocent looking face, the pce maid nced at the person high up. That person nodded at her. Only then did the pce maid slowly stand up and walked to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Princess, what matter do you have by looking for this ve?¡±
¡°You destroyed bengong¡¯s4 paint, of course you need to lend some color to help bengong finish this painting!¡±
¡°This ve didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Princess, what do you want this ve to do?¡±
Although she¡¯s iming that she didn¡¯t do it on purpose, but on the pce maid¡¯s face, there¡¯s written ¡®deliberately did it¡¯.
And the eyes of the pce maid betrayed her inner thoughts. The one she looked at was precisely the empress who got pregnant because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s help... ...Duanmu Qing.
¡°That¡¯s easy. Come here!¡±
When the other party moved her head over, Murong Qi Qi grabbed the pce maid¡¯s hair. She poured all the ink in pce maid¡¯s mouth.
Not waiting for people to understand the situation, Murong Qi Qi pped the pce maid twice on her face.
¡°Pu... ...¡±
The pce maid felt pain. She opened her mouth. The ck ink sprayed like rain on the paper.
¡°Thanks!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice just fell, in her hand there¡¯s suddenly a shiny dagger. The pce maid didn¡¯t have time to struggle. On her white neck, there¡¯s a trace of blood. The next moment, blood gushed out.
¡°Ah!¡±
The pce maid felt pain. She struggled while screaming. But unfortunately, her hair was held by Murong Qi Qi. She couldn¡¯t break out. Looking once more, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s right hand has a brush now. She mixed the blood with the ink and began to paint quickly on the paper.
TL Note: I don¡¯t understand why they just don¡¯t go get another set of paint. It¡¯s almost impossible for the pce to only have three boxes of paint.
Wanng/ wangye: prince of the first rank ?
Wangfei: main wife of a wangye ?
Chongxi: Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the ¡¯event of great joy¡¯ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery, what does it matter?! To be able to be with such a man, even if in the next moment she¡¯d die, she¡¯ll still be happy ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family
Chapter 51 Blood colored chrysanthemum
Chapter 51 Blood colored chrysanthemum
¡°Ink mixed with blood. It really is a good paint!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile was sweet, but the hands weren¡¯t the slightest bit cking. The pce maid¡¯s blood spread over the paper. The brush in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand began to dance on the paper.
In the background, there was just silence. No matter if it was the emperor Longze Yu or others, no one had ever seen such a way of painting like Murong Qi Qi¡¯s; using fresh human blood as paint. Originally, it was an extremely monstrous picture, but because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brush dance, it became beautiful.
¡°Princess, this ve is wrong, this ve is wrong! This ve doesn¡¯t dare anymore!¡±
The pce maid felt that her life is slipping away, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of stopping the bleeding for her. She was feeling somewhat dizzy. Her thinking also became slow. If she continues like this, she will definitely bleed to death!
¡°Say who is behind you, then bengong1 will let you off!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very low. So low that only the two of them could hear.
Speak out? The pce maid shuddered. Making her confess that it¡¯s the empress who let her deliberately break the porcin box so that Murong Qi Qi would not have any paint to use? Then in the end, she would also die!
In just a moment, the pce maid weighed the pros and the cons. She decided to protect Duanmu Qing.
¡°Princess, this ve begs you. Please let thsi ve go!¡±
The pce maid cried hysterically. She was gambling, gambling that Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t dare to treat human life as grass, gambling that Murong Qi Qi would care about the so called virtues and morality and will be forced to let her go under public pressure.
to treat human life as grass: to kill people as if you¡¯re cutting grass/a politician acting with total disregard for the life of his countrymen
The pce maid¡¯s hesitation made Murong Qi Qi¡¯sst vestiges ofpassion die. The pce maidpletely estimated wrongly. Not everyone can fathom Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind. The dagger once again appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. The dagger went down. A trail of red once again surfaced.
¡°Bengong just needs some color. Bengong doesn¡¯t want your life.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very soft and gently without a trace of evilness.
¡°Bengong¡¯s future husband has an evil doctor. I heard that as long as there¡¯s still one breath inside the person, he¡¯d be able to save that person. Don¡¯t worry, the heavens want virtues. Besides, bengong will soon be marrying to Bei Zhou, that¡¯s why bengong also needs to amass good fortune. So bengong will absolutely not kill you!¡±
¡®Still one breath¡¯. Those words made the pce maid¡¯s whole body turn cold. Does she (MQQ) mean that all her blood will be drained till there¡¯s only onest breath left? Then, how can she still live?
The pce maid, who previously had illusions about princess Zhao Yang¡¯s character,pletely lost hope. She could only struggle and shout over and over: ¡°Empress niangniang2, save me!¡±
This shout let people see the hidden intention. The way they looked at Duanmu Qing also became strange. By this time, although on the surface, Duanmu Qing looked dignified, but in her heart, she was hating this pce maid for not carrying out the mission well. Such a small thing and she can¡¯t even do it properly. And the fact that she (pce maid) actually confessed that it was her (DQ) intention to kill made her hatred grow even more.
¡°Since you¡¯ve mentioned empress niangniang, then bengong cannot not give face to empress.¡±
The drained blood was almost enough. Besides, she had already achieved her purpose. Murong Qi Qi finally let go. The pce maid, who had bled excessively, stumbled. She fell from the tform onto the ground. Blood spilled all over. Two eunuchs immediately came forward and dragged the pce maid away.
Seeming to have sensed the empress¡¯ intention to kill, the pce maid began to struggle.
¡°Empress niangniang, have mercy, ah! Niangniang, please forgive this ve ! Niangniang... ...¡±
¡°Still not blocking her mouth!¡±
Even if Duanmu Qing could camouge well, but at this moment, anger couldn¡¯t help but rise. Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s faintly smiling eyes, Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart thumped. Her hand unconsciously touched her belly.
So it¡¯s like that... .... Coldness shed in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. Using her to get pregnant. At this moment, she turned against this benefactor. In the imperial family, it seemed that there¡¯s always such ungrateful people.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cold eyes scanned Duanmu Qing¡¯s belly, making Duanmu Qing¡¯s whole body shiver. Why does she have a feeling of being targeted by a hunter?
¡°Niangniang... ....¡±
The pce maid was still struggling. Her mouth has just been blocked and she was dragged down by force.
She¡¯s just a small pce maid. Was there a need to kill? Murong Qi Qi looked at the bloodstains on the ground and sighed slightly. But there were so many of such innocent souls. She already gave the pce maid the right to choose. It¡¯s just that she didn¡¯t grasp the chance. After all, there are only a small number of smart people... ....
Just as Duanmu Qing was bing ill at ease, a ¡®the incense has burned¡¯ could be heard, making everyone¡¯s attention go back to thepetition. Ming Yue Xin and Longze Yu Er had already finished. Even Murong Qi Qi put down her brush.
Just now, Ming Yue Xin and Longze Yu Er saw how Murong Qi Qi took human blood. Their hearts were also scared. They didn¡¯t expect that of Murong Qi Qi, who had seemed so weak, but her actions were so scary.
Recalling the scene of painting with blood, Longze Yu Er was suddenly somewhat afraid. She was afraid that if she lost, Murong Qi Qi would really want her pair of hands.
But after a second thought, she¡¯s a country¡¯s princess. Even if Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give face to the monk, she needs to give face to the Buddha. Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t do anything to her. Moreover, she still has Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®information to be used against her¡¯. By that time, if Murong Qi Qi made things difficult for her, then don¡¯t me her (LYR) for betraying and announcing everything!
Not giving face to the monk, giving face to the Buddha: not giving face to Longze Yu Er but needs to give face to emperor
Three paintings were taken up by six pce maid to be disyed to the public. The two maids in charge of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s painting saw the bloodstained dagger and shook with fright. They cautiously took the painting in fear that if something went wrong, they would end up like that pce maid.
All three paintings painted a garden full of chrysanthemum, but the styles were very different.
Ming Yue Xin¡¯s painting was full of gold, very extravagant. Longze Yu Er used more colors. The painting was colorful, making it look more beautiful and youthful. And Murong Qi Qi¡¯s painting attracted everyone¡¯s attention.
Firstly, it¡¯s because of the style of painting; using blood as paint was too shocking. Secondly, it¡¯s because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s painting. Ink for the branches and leaves. Blood for the flowers, buds and butterflies. This was a chrysanthemum map! Blood colored chrysanthemum that was full of killing intention, making people who looked at it really frightened!
¡°Rustling sound of the west wind flew over the garden full of nts. Pistil fragrant cold butterflies are difficult toe. If in that year I be the young emperor, announce that the peach flowers will blossom in the first season.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng stepped forward on his moon clogs, holding a wine bottle and with a body covered in the smell of alcohol, walked shakily up the stairs towards the painting. He read out loud Murong Qi Qi¡¯s poem that had been written on the right side of the painting.
¡°Good poem! Good poem, ah!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s voice was loud. The poeming from his mouth sounded particrly charming. These officials present, which one is not an expert? When they heard this poem, they couldn¡¯t not be impressed by the aloofness and arrogance of the poem. Is this really made by a rubbish? Why did such a little girl have such a state of mind?
¡°You won!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng looked at Murong Qi Qi.
Previously, they were too far separated from each other and he didn¡¯t look carefully at her. Now, she¡¯s standing right in front of him. He carefully took this girl into his eyes. Although this girl¡¯s just ordinary, but she has a pair of eyes that are more bright than the sun, and is able to make the precious gem on earth lose against this pair. Why didn¡¯t anybody notice it before?
¡°Bengong refuses to ept!¡±
Not waiting for Ming Yue Cheng to speak again, Ming Yue Xin jumped in.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, are you still Nan Feng¡¯s people? How can your elbow turn the wrong way and help outsiders?! Did she give you some benefits?¡±
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Niangniang: used to refer the females of the imperial family by someone of lower rank
Chapter 52 Cut off her pair of hands
Chapter 52 Cut off her pair of hands
Ming Yue Xin addressed her imperial big brother only by his name, which made Murong Qi Qi frown. It seemed that Nan Feng really wants to change their crown prince, that¡¯s why this princess could act so brazen and speak like this towards Ming Yue Cheng in front of Xi Qi¡¯s people.
When Murong Qi Qi¡¯s frown fell into Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes, it made his heart feel warm. So many people, yet only Murong Qi Qi would frown because of Ming Yue Xin¡¯s words and feel wronged for him. So many people, yet only Murong Qi Qi would give him sincere encouragement and wouldn¡¯t look at him with different eyes.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know that just a casual frown would help this pitiful crown prince make the decision that he would strongly uphold for the rest of his life.
Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak, making Ming Yue Xin feel that he was in the wrong, so she also became triumphant.
Ming Yue Xin ordered the two pce maids to show her work to the crowd. She didn¡¯t believe that this girl¡¯s painting would be better than hers. She had started to learn painting when she was three. It¡¯s been thirteen years since then. The paints she used was able to let the river change colors. How could she be worse than Murong Qi Qi?!
¡°Look!¡±
Not waiting for Ming Yue Xin¡¯s triumph to pass, someone pointed at the sky and shouted.
A colorful cloud drifted down. Only when it came near, did the people realise that it was a group of butterflies. The one in the lead was a blood red butterfly.
It¡¯s already autumn. Butterflies weren¡¯tmon. Now so many butterflies had appeared and they were flying towards the paintings, making everyone surprised. What¡¯s happening? Could it be that these butterflies came for the paintings?
The crowd hadn¡¯t yet understood the situation when the butterflies flew towards Murong Qi Qi. These little thingsnded on the chrysanthemum on the painting. Their small wings were twinkling and immediately, a ¡®miracle¡¯ appeared!
Originally, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s painting only had ink color and blood color. Now because of these butterflies, the chrysanthemums were covered in colors.
These butterflies had different colors and theynded on different chrysanthemum. Their wings glittered and it immediately became a live colored chrysanthemum painting. And thatrgest blood red butterflynded on the biggest chrysanthemum in the center. The wings glittered under the sun and showed different kinds of colors.
¡°How beautiful!¡±
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s ¡®how beautiful¡¯ voiced out the inner thoughts of everyone. Having seen so many paintings, but none wereparable to this ¡®live¡¯ painting.
¡°A miracle!¡±
An old official shouted. Then he knelt down and shouted: ¡°Auspicious sign from the heavens, bless my Xi Qi!¡±
After seeing someone take the lead, immediately people knelt down and shouted ¡®ten thousand years¡¯. This boot-licking made Longze Yu smile look like a blooming chrysanthemum as if the painting was made by him. Now, Murong Qi Qi looked very pleasing in Longze Yu¡¯s eyes. Hepletely forgot about the bet. In a moment of impulse, he opened his mouth: ¡°Zhen1 announces that Murong Qi Qi has won!¡±
Just some words made Ming Yue Xin¡¯s and Longze Yu Er¡¯s thoughts stop at a dead end. The two¡¯s faces immediately became greyish. Especially Longze Yu Er. Her own father said so, could it be that he really wanted her to gift her pair of hands to Murong Qi Qi?
¡°Bengong2 refuses to ept!¡±
Ming Yue Xin rushed over, took Murong Qi Qi¡¯s knife from the table and cut the painting into two.
¡°Be careful!¡±
Seeing Ming Yue Xin take action against Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Cheng screamed. He wanted to rush to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, but a man beat him to it. Not waiting for the dagger in Ming Yue Xin¡¯s hand to touch Murong Qi Qi¡¯s clothes, Feng Cang threw her away with a flying kick.
¡®Bang!¡¯
Ming Yue Xin¡¯s body hit the table like a broken kite. She immediately coughed blood. Seeing his empty arms, Ming Yue Cheng revealed a bitter smile. How could he have forgotten that Murong Qi Qi was already promised to Feng Cang?
Seeing Feng Cang embrace Murong Qi Qi, that woman was so near, yet he was unable to reach out his hand. It made Ming Yue Cheng feel hatred. He hated himself for being powerless, hated himself for not being able to protect her. Instead, he can only watch her go away with someone else... ...
Although knowing that nothing had happened to Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but beat faster.
¡°Qing Qing, are you alright?!¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at the butterflies lying on the ground that Ming Yue Xin had killed, and her heart felt some pain. She broke out of Feng Cang¡¯s embrace and walked towards the torn painting. She gently picked up the wings and cut up bodies of the butterflies and wrapped them carefully in a handkerchief.
¡°It¡¯s been hard on you! I will take revenge for you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi waved her hands at the butterflies in the air. They seemed to understand Murong Qi Qi, circled around her once, shed their wings and then left.
After doing all of these, Murong Qi Qi slowly walked towards Ming Yue Xin, making Ming Yue Xin very scared.
¡°What... ... ...what do you want, want to do?!¡±
¡°These are my stuff!¡±
Murong Qi Qi picked up the dagger from the ground and carefully wiped the blood on it.
¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯te over! Imperial big brother, save me!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi getting closer and closer, Ming Yue Xin endured the pain in her heart and asked help from Ming Yue Cheng: ¡°Big brother crown prince, save, save me!¡±
¡°Toote!¡±
Now, she finally knew that Ming Yue Cheng was the crown prince, was her big brother and wants to get help from him? Murong Qi Qi smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. Step by step, she got closer to Ming Yue Xin, the dagger in her hands also slowly went up.
The other party was obviously a small white rabbit, but it let Ming Yue Xin felt fear.
¡°No! No! Big brother crown prince, save me!¡±
Ming Yue Xin crawled on the ground and wanted to escape from here. She now knew what it meant to be afraid. She knew that Murong Qi Qi was not someone to make trouble with! However, it¡¯s toote... ...
¡°Qing Qing... ... ...¡±
Just as the dagger in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s was about to go down, Feng Cang came up behind her. He took over the dagger and put Murong Qi Qi into his arms. Seeing that Feng Cang has saved her, Ming Yue Xin felt grateful. She has forgotten about that kick he had just given her. She looked smitten at Feng Cang: ¡°Wangye3......¡±
Ming Yue Xin thought that Feng Cang¡¯s heart was moved for her. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t bear to let her lose her pair of hands. So that¡¯s why he helped her. She didn¡¯t expect that the following wordsing out of Feng Cang¡¯s mouth would be like a thunderbolt to her!
¡°Qing Qing, such a thing, let me do it, lest it makes Qing Qing¡¯s hands dirty......¡±
Not waiting for Ming Yue Xin toe out of her daze, a pair of jade hands got cut off at the wrist by Feng Cang.
¡°Ah... ...¡±
Only a scream could be heard. Ming Yue Xin fainted from the pain and that pair of hands flew in the air, flew towards the crowd.
¡°Ah... ....¡±
Those who were watching saw those bloody hands flying towards them, and they dodged. In the end, the two hands fell on the ground and were contaminated with mud. The originally smooth surface became ugly because of the blood and the mud mixed together.
¡°Ai, what a pity... ...¡±
Everyone was in shock, but Murong Qi Qi said it was a pity.
The moment that Ming Yue Xin¡¯s hands were cut off, Feng Cang flew her away from the tform to avoid Ming Yue Xin¡¯s blood dirtying their clothes. And at this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®what a pity¡¯ couldn¡¯t help but make Ming Yue Cheng look at her once again. Could it be that she thought about Ming Yue Xin¡¯s backing, Nan Feng country, and was now regretting it?
¡°Obviously on the body, it¡¯s very attractive. Why is it so ugly when cut off? Really a pity!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice sounded faint. Ming Yue Cheng almost feltpletely terrific... ...So this is what she felt pity for! This girl really is different, making it so that people couldn¡¯t help but love her.
Zhen: I, used by the emperor ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Wangye/wang: prince of the first rank
Chapter 53 Longze Yu Er’s hidden card
Chapter 53 Longze Yu Er¡¯s hidden card
The time from painting till cutting off the hands has only been one hour, but there has been such a change, making the people in the imperial garden feel frightened. The way they looked at Murong Qi Qi became even stranger.
¡°Servants, quickly bring princess Xin down for treatment!¡±
Longze Yu was the fastest to recover from the shock.
Nan Feng¡¯s princess¡¯s hands has been cut off in front of him. It happened so fast that he was toote to stop it, making Longze Yu¡¯s expression be very ugly. Just now, he was immersed in the happiness of ¡®good fortune from heaven¡¯, now he couldn¡¯t help but get a headache because of Ming Yue Xin¡¯s matter. If Nan Feng country asked for who was responsible, what should he do then?
One side is the ¡®trying to form a marriage alliance¡¯ Nan Feng country, the other side is the arrogant Feng Cang with Bei Zhou ring like a tiger behind him. Which side to choose is the problem that Longze Yu must consider now. A mere Nan Feng country, Xi Qi is not afraid of. But if this matter isn¡¯t handled properly, offending both sides; by then, the two sides put together will cause him many troubles.
Longze Yu is considering about his country and empire. Longze Yu Er is thinking about how to keep her hands.
Feng Cang¡¯s means went into her eyes, fear into her heart. But still Longze Yu Er didn¡¯te to her senses. She thought the reason Feng Cang¡¯s acting like this is because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s provocativeness. So as long as she attacks Murong Qi Qi and let Feng Cang know about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®true colors¡¯, then she can be saved!
Not having Ming Yue Xin as apetitor and also ruining Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation, then wouldn¡¯t the position of Nan Lin wangfei1 be hers, Longze Yu Er¡¯s?!
Thinking till here, Longze Yu Er clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She tried to make herself look calmer and not to think of Ming Yue Xin¡¯s bloody hands anymore.
¡°Nan Lin wang2, bengong3 has something to say!¡±
Feng Cang carefully checked on Murong Qi Qi to see if anything happened to her. He simply ignored Longze Yu Er.
The other party ignoring her made Longze Yu Er¡¯s expression turn very ugly. She hated Murong Qi Qi even more. Her voice also reached its highest pitch: ¡°Nan Lin wang, you have been cheated by Murong Qi Qi! Not only is she a rubbish but she is also a thief. Stealing is her nature! She even stole her sister¡¯s glowing pearl. This is a matter that everyone knows about. Don¡¯t believe her!¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s words made Feng Cang raise his head. Seeing that he was looking at her, Longze Yu Er¡¯s heart sped up and she also became more excited. She must expose Murong Qi Qi and let Feng Cang know her true colors! She must save him and not let this bitch Murong Qi Qi bewilder him!
¡°What bengong said is true! You just arrived at Xi Liang and don¡¯t know about these matters. As long as you go out and just ask anybody, even if they aremoners, everyone knows about this shameful thing. She also has something going on with Lian gongzi4. They even have a child together! You must believe bengong. Every word bengong said is true. Bengong also has a witness!¡±
At this time, Longze Yu wanted to die. Why is it that at this time, when he is under great pressure and wanted to calm things down, wanted to protect Longze Yu Er, this daughter seemed like she¡¯s out of her mind and would say such things? Could it be that faeces entered her brains? If Feng Cang finds out about this ¡®brilliant¡¯ past of Murong Qi Qi, the first one he would held ountable is Xi Qi country!
¡°Yu Er, shut up. Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±
Longze Yu really wanted to let someone seal Longze Yu Er¡¯s mouth.
¡°Emperor father, why don¡¯t you let me say it? Today, I want to make all things clear!¡±
Longze Yu Erpletely disregarded Longze Yu¡¯s ¡®good intentions¡¯. She poured out all those bad rumors with added oil and vinegar.
Add oil and vinegar: to exaggerate things
Around them was a dead silence. Longze Yu Er¡¯s totally unaware that these words would cause much anger.
Li Yun Qing clenched his fists. Shangguan Wu Ji gritted his teeth and Longze Jing Tian was trying very hard to suppress his anger. If it wasn¡¯t because of his special identity, Longze Jing Tian would¡¯ve rushed forward and kicked her!
As for Ming Yue Cheng, his pair of yer¡¯s eyes turned increasingly cold and ruthless. How could he bear to hear such nder on Murong Qi Qi?
¡°Princess said so much, could it be that princess is jealous of princess Zhao Yang? Since princess said this with such detail, why don¡¯t youe out with evidence to let us be convinced?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect that the first one to open his mouth to protect her would be Ming Yue Cheng. She couldn¡¯t help but look at Ming Yue Cheng twice more, but she didn¡¯t know that her little actions made the person next to her be jealous.
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m still next to you and you¡¯re thinking about fondling the flowers and trample the grass?¡±
Fondle the flowers and trample to grass: to womanize.
TL Note: A man womanizes, a woman...ment below if you know.
Editor: There isn¡¯t a perfect equivalent but I¡¯d say any of these: ¡®temptress¡¯, ¡®coquette¡¯, ¡®manizer¡¯, ¡®yer¡¯ or ¡®man-eater¡¯.
Feng Cang really didsn¡¯t rest until he startles people. Longze Yu Er is spitting saliva in all four directions at the other side; he is here on this side, putting on a ¡®jealous husband¡¯ expression. Apanied with that beautiful face, Murong Qi Qi almost lost her soul.
Seeing that ¡®amazement¡¯ at the bottom of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang finally smiled.
¡°I¡¯m more handsome than him, Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s actions inadvertently provoked Longze Yu Er, she rushed towards Murong Xin Lian and pulled Murong Xin Lian forward.
¡°Jing wang¡¯s cefei5. is the witness! She previously witnessed with her own eyes how Murong Qi Qi stole imperial noble consort¡¯s glowing pearl. She is the witness!¡±
Those ¡®gossips¡¯ she talked in her free time with Longze Yu Er, has been brought out by her. At this time, Murong Xin Lian is standing awkwardly there and epted everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Imperial sister-inw, say it! Quickly say that everything bengong said is true and expose her with bengong!¡±
Seeing that Murong Xin Lian didn¡¯t say anything, Longze Yu Er became anxious.
¡°Imperial sister-inw......¡±
¡°Beloved consort, did you...really...saw...with...your...own...eyes?¡±
Murong Xin Lian is actually Longze Yu Er¡¯s ¡®partner¡¯, making Longze Jing Tian really angry. This bitch is really restless. It seems that he needs to remind her of her status.
Although Longze Jing Tian used ¡®beloved consort¡¯, but Murong Xin Lian saw the disgust and coldness in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes, making her shudder. Could it be that he misunderstood the closeness between Longze Yu Er and her? And thought that she is the empress¡¯ people? No, she isn¡¯t! She can¡¯t let Longze Jing Tian misunderstand!
Thinking till here, Murong Xin Lian hastened to deny that she saw anything, but she didn¡¯t want to offend princess Ping Yang, so she pushed all the fault onto the deceased Fei Cui.
¡°It¡¯s my maid Fei Cui who saw it!¡±
¡°Then where is Fei Cui? Let here out to testify!¡±
Longze Yu Er was unwilling to let go of any opportunity.
¡°She... ...¡±
Murong Xin Lian nced once at Murong Qi Qi and put on a look of apprehension.
¡°She has already been murdered by princess Zhao Yang.¡±
Having seen many shameless people, but never has once seen such a person without face or skin! Murong Qi Qi once again gave herplete admiration to Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Haha, did you hear! She did something wrong and in order to hide it, she actually murdered someone!¡±
Longze Yu Er was very happy. This is great. Not only will Feng Cang be disgusted by Murong Qi Qi and the marriage will get annulled, she¡¯ll also have awsuit!
¡°Imperial big brother, speak! What did you see on that day at Duanmu family¡¯s?! Isn¡¯t it right that you saw her and Lian gongzi do that dirty thing? That¡¯s why you wrote the ¡®breaking engagement¡¯ letter in anger? Nan Lin wang, don¡¯t you see? The woman you¡¯re going to marry is not only snake-hearted but she also had an affair with another man. She¡¯s a broken shoe that my imperial big brother didn¡¯t want! A broken shoe, ah!¡±
Broken shoe: loose woman
¡°Enough!¡±
A roar made Longze Yu Er¡¯s ears in pain.
Wangfei:main wife of a wangye ?
Wang: prince of the first rank ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Gongzi:young master/ also used to refer to a famous man ?
Cefei/ce wangfei: second ranked wife of a wangye
Chapter 54 Shou Gong Sha
Chapter 54 Shou Gong Sha
¡°Imperial big brother, you roar at me?¡±
Longze Yu Er looked at Longze Jing Tian with eyes full of disbelief. Although they didn¡¯te from the same mother, but towards this little sister, normally Longze Jing Tian still spoil and love her. He has never been so stern with her. At this time, seeing aplete strange Longze Jing Tian, Longze Yu Er totally couldn¡¯t ept it.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, benwang¡¯s1 imperial little sister talked irresponsibly. Asking Nan Lin wang2 and princess Zhao Yang for forgiveness!¡±
Longze Jing Tian turned around and apologized to Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. He was hoping from the bottom of his heart that Feng Cang didn¡¯t hear those ¡®darn words¡¯ of Longze Yu Er. If Feng Cang believed those words and doesn¡¯t recognize this marriage, then Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation will be so bad that she will be the joke of everyone for the rest of her life!
Now, Longze Jing Tian felt very remorseful. If he didn¡¯t break off the engagement, Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t have to marry faraway and also won¡¯t cause her so much trouble because of the broken engagement. Thinking till here, the way Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi turned more remorseful.
¡°Ha......,¡± Feng Cang chuckled loudly. He reveled a beautiful smile. ¡°Since princess said there was, benwang thinks is better to investigate lest to let another nder benwang¡¯s wangfei3 again in the future. Today, taking this opportunity to let everything be clear!¡±
With Feng Cang¡¯s words, Longze Yu Er¡¯s spine also straightened. After all, what man doesn¡¯t care about that kind of thing? Losing chastity before marriage, this is a big scandal, ah! No one will be so stupid to want a second hand good! Longze Yu Er began to admire her own cleverness.
¡°Fei Cui is already dead. The dead can¡¯t testify. That matter can¡¯t be let go. As for is she is or isn¡¯t a broken shoe, just take a look at the Shou Gong Sha and we will know!¡±
Shou Gong Sha
Shou Gong Sha
Shou Gong Sha: gecko cinnabar/ protector of the pce. In ancient China there should be blood on the bed when a woman has intercourse for the first time. Another way to check if they were a virgin was with the gecko cinnabar. The gecko cinnabar is a red colored powder made of dried gecko fed on cinnabar. It is said to leave a red mark on a woman¡¯s body, most of the time the upper arm. Supposedly, the mark will fade away once the woman had intercourse.
Check the Shou Gong Sha? This is not a bad idea! Murong Qi Qi revealed a cold smile. Having watched Longze Yu Er performing alone for so long, she this involved part also needed to appear.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, what are youughing at?¡±
Seeing the smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Longze Yu Er froze for a moment. Then she taunted: ¡°Now you still have the face to smile? Wait a while and you won¡¯t even be able to cry!¡±
Seeing Longze Yu Er like that, the hand Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands was somewhat chilly. His voice also turned cold: ¡°Longze Yu Er, don¡¯t go too far!¡±
Standing beside Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi clearly felt the chill on this man¡¯s body. If it wasn¡¯t because he was still talking in soft and gentle words to her, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve thought the person next to her was changed.
¡°I believe you.¡±
Feng Cang squeezed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft hand.
¡°No matter how you are, you are still the wangfei benwang wants!¡±
The meaning of Feng Cang¡¯s words were very clear. No matter what Murong Qi Qi chose, he will protect her and he also doesn¡¯t need for Murong Qi Qi to use such way to prove herself, because he believes her.
Feng Cang¡¯s protectiveness let Murong Qi Qi be very moved.
To a woman, verifying the Shou Gong Sha is a very humiliating thing. But her reputation being publicly insulted, if she didn¡¯t prove it then it¡¯ll be like a scar on her body and she will be bearing an ugly reputation for the rest of her life. For her whole life, she wouldn¡¯t be able to raise her head again.
After all, here isn¡¯t the twenty first century. This is a traditional society. Since she came here, she must follow the rules of this world and she can¡¯t let people nder her!
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m fine since princess Ping Yang questions bengong¡¯s4 innocence, bengong is willing to be investigated. But if bengong is clean as ice and clear as jade, then all of these will be princess Ping Yang ndering and vilifying me. Then how should we punish princess¡¯s nder?¡±
Clean as ice and clear as jade: spotless
¡°If what bengong said is false, bengong is willing to ept any punishment.¡±
Longze Yu Er wasn¡¯t afraid. Murong Xin Lian told her all of these. She doesn¡¯t have a reason to lie to her.
¡°Good! If it¡¯s nder, bengong wants the head on princess¡¯s body as the price for humiliating bengong today!¡±
Murong Qi Qi said those words chopping the nail and slicing the iron, making Longze Yu Er flustered. But thinking about those rumors and everything Murong Xin Lian told her, Longze Yu Er got her strength back. Besides she is Xi Qi country¡¯s princess, Murong Qi Qi is just an official¡¯s daughter. Wanting her head, can it be that Murong Qi Qi wants to offend her superior?
Chopping the nail and slicing the iron: resolute and decisive
¡°No problem! But if you are not a virgin, bengong wants you to die!¡±
The things happened too suddenly, so sudden Duanmu Qing hadn¡¯t had the time to stop her daughter. That day she was present. There wasn¡¯t Lian gongzi5 and there wasn¡¯t the so called affair. All of these are rumors. She didn¡¯t think that her foolish daughter will believe them!
Since the bet has already been put, what can she do now? What can she do? Should she let the old maid who will do the examinationmit fraud?
Duanmu Qing¡¯s anxiousness went into Murong Xue Lian¡¯s eyes. Just thinking once, she understood the situation. Such a good chance to hit the empress, how can Murong Xue Lian let it pass?!¡±
¡°Emperor, princess Zhao Yang is the future Nan Lin wangfei. Her body is precious. How can servants touch her body? Besides, girls have thin face. If you let her be examined in the crowd, how will she be able to face people in the future?¡±
Murong Xue Lian had some fatigue. Her body slightly tilted and nestled in Longze Yu¡¯s arms.
Murong Xue Lian¡¯s words went into Longze Yu¡¯s heart. Longze Yu Er really has a pig¡¯s brain. No matter if Murong Qi Qi is or isn¡¯t a virgin, in the end Feng Cang will get angry. The one who will suffer damage is still Xi Qi! Longze Yu really wanted to strangle this daughter!
¡°Beloved consort, what do you think we should do?¡±
Fragrant jade in his arms, Longze Yu¡¯s mood became slightly better. It¡¯s still this little woman in his arms who is the most understanding and understands his heart.
¡°Why don¡¯t we look for a few misses from the great families with the same status. Everyone is the same age and wouldn¡¯t have that awkwardness.¡±
Murong Xue Lian proposal made Longze Yu couldn¡¯t help but p. Then he asked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s opinion. Murong Qi Qi has nothing to say. No matter what, today¡¯s shame, she must get it back!
Misses from the great families with same status, there are only two......Bai Yi Yue and Duanmu Yi Yi. They have been called forward. Then the pce maids pulled down a two-meter-high white cloth. In the middle of the imperial garden, the cloth held up like a barrier box. The three entered.
It¡¯s the first time that Duanmu Yi Yi encountered such a thing. She was a little nervous. After all, the empress is her paternal aunt. Longze Yu Er is her cousin. Their rtion is not so general.
Seeing the situation Duanmu Yi Yi is in, Murong Qi Qi was calm and generous. She took off her outeryer of the gown and exposed a snow white arm. A bright red as blood and been sized Shou Gong Shay quietly on that piece of whiteness. The truth is exposed.
¡°Princess has suffered!¡±
Bai Yi Yue saw the Shou Gong Sha and nodded at Murong Qi Qi. She personally helped her put the dress back on.
¡°Hoping that the two of you will give bengong¡¯s innocent back!¡±
After being dressed, Murong Qi Qi went out of the barrier.
What should she do? What should she do?! Duanmu Yi Yi was very hesitant. What should she do if she said the truth and Murong Qi Qi really kills Longze Yu Er? Then if empress aunt wants to find who is ountable for, she will definitelye calcte with her!
But to let her nder Muong Qi Qi, not mentioning that there¡¯s still a Bai Yi Yue as witness, she can¡¯t even pass her own conscience. Duanmu Yi Yi knows very well how important reputation is to a woman!
As Duanmu Yi Yi was still being hesitant, Bai Yi Yue said some words which made her decidepletely.
TLNote: I moved the special and history over to vre. The characters will remain on rosy.
Benwang:I, used by a wangye ?
Wang: prince of the first rank ?
Wangfei: main wife of a wangye ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Gongzi: young master/ also used to refer to a famous man
Chapter 55 They want to kill to silence
Chapter 55 They want to kill to silence
¡°I heard that the empress dowager has always been kindhearted. Jing wang1 was raised at the empress dowager¡¯s side since he was young. He is naturally influenced her, so his character is also extraordinary. Since miss Duanmu is interested in Jing wang, you should understand what the other likes. This is also for yourself.......¡±
Has to say, Bai Yi Yue¡¯s words yed a very important role. Just a moment and Duanmu Yi Yi already made decision.
When they got out, everyone was waiting for them to announce the result. Duanmu Qing was staring straight at Duanmu Yi Yi. She knew this niece very well. She also knew that Duanmu Yi Yi hates Murong Qi Qi. As long as Duanmu Yi Yi deny, there will be room to maneuver.
¡°How was it?¡±
Longze Yu looked anxiously at the two. Never before has he felt that time flies so slowly.
¡°Answering his majesty, princess Zhao Yang is pure and noble.¡±
For Longze Jing Tian, for her own future, Duanmu Yi Yi calmly told the truth. Bai Yi Yue who was next to Duanmu Yi Yi nodded: ¡°Princess Zhao Yang is indeed a good woman who knows how to love herself. Asking his majesty to give justice to princess Zhao Yang!¡±
¡°Yi Yi!¡±
Duanmu Qing was very surprised. Inside the surprise there¡¯s also a trace of anger. Didn¡¯t Duanmu Yi Yi hate Murong Qi Qi? Why is she helping her now? Now what will happen to Longze Yu Er? If Murong Qi Qi really wants to pursue the matter, then how should she protect her daughter?
Facing Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes full of usations, Duanmu Yi Yi lowered her head. Inside her eyes echoed the words Bai Yi Yue just said. Aunt, I¡¯m sorry! I can¡¯t let Jing wang hate me!
Having these two¡¯s words, Longze Yu suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, this Murong Qi Qi is innocent, otherwise if Feng Cang hold them ountable for casually stuffing a dirty woman at him, then it¡¯ll be big trouble.
But, he just let out a breath of relief, Longze Yu began to have a headache again. Since Murong Qi Qi is innocent, then isn¡¯t it that Longze Yu Er ndered her?
ording to the agreement, Murong Qi Qi will get Longze Yu Er¡¯s life! Although the child didn¡¯t live to his expectations, but she is still his biological child. If she is killed under his own eyes, when this get out, what will the citizens think? How will the worldugh at him?
Seemingly to be aware of her situation now, Longze Yu Er changed her arrogance. Her whole body began to tremble.
¡°Princess Ping Yang, are you going to do it yourself or should I give you a ride?¡±
Pretending to not see that Longze Yu Er is backing off step by step, Murong Qi Qi pulled out the dagger.
¡°Although bengong[2 Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family] has never killed anyone before and also didn¡¯t kill chicken, duck or anything, but just now when wangye cut off princess Xin¡¯s hands, bengong watched carefully and learned a lot. Although I can¡¯t do it as neat as wangye, but you can be at ease, bengong will try to make you not feel pain. Really!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was smiling. Her voice was so gentle. If it wasn¡¯t that very word was threatening, then others would¡¯ve just thought that she was chatting.
¡°No, no......¡±
The more Murong Qi Qi was being so harmless, the more people will feel their blood run cold. Longze Yu Er shook her head and stepped back. She didn¡¯t want to be like Ming Yue Xin. She didn¡¯t want to end like her. She is a princess! How dare Murong Qi Qi to be so rude to her?
Not waiting for Longze Yu Er to finish talking, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression changed: ¡°No? How can we do that?! Do you think bengong is easily bullied? The dignified Nan Lin wangfei2 was actually forced to prove her innocence in Xi Qi country¡¯s feast. If this gets out, how do you want bengong to be able to continue to live?¡±
Talking till the end, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were moist again. Not waiting for people to understand, sparkling tears like flood poured out and raged down.
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know what to do facing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears. While carefully wiping her tears, his hostility skyrocketed: ¡°Qing Qing, the humiliation you suffered today, benwang3 will definitely get it back for you on the battlefield!¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang is making this matter bigger and even mentioned battlefield, Longze Yu can no longer sit still and rushed to Longze Yu Er. Pa, pa. he mercilessly pped her twice.
¡°Darn thing! How did I give birth to a thing like you!¡±
¡°Emperor father......¡±
Longze Yu Er only saw stars in her eyes after the two ps from Longze Yu. Although she is a daughter, but since little, she was doted by Longze Yu. Emperor father has never touched even a small finger of her. Today he pped her in front of so many people.
¡°Shut up!¡±
Fearing that Longze Yu Er will say more ¡®darn words¡¯, Longze Yu scolded her to let her shut up. Knowing that Longze Yu was really angry, Longze Yu Er bitterly endured the tears. She stood there with a red face without daring to move.
After teaching his daughter a lesson, Longze Yu turned and smiled at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi: ¡°Nan Lin wang, all is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding......¡±
¡°Misunderstanding?¡±
After Murong Qi Qi hears that, she cried even louder.
¡°It must be because I¡¯m not a real princess and doesn¡¯t have a noble identity, that¡¯s why they are humiliating me like this. Wangye, it¡¯s said to hit the people but not hit the face. Everyone knows I¡¯m Nan Lin wangfei. They are like this. They obviously look down on you and looks down on Bei Zhou country!¡±
Such a big hat being put on Longze Yu¡¯s head, making him ufortable, but he doesn¡¯t dare to take it off. In Longze Yu¡¯s heart, he really hates Murong Qi Qi. If he had known that she will be so difficult to deal with, he should have just find an easy woman to be the princess. Then he wouldn¡¯t have all these troubles.
¡°I being falsely used is a small thing, but wangye is a real man, the Nan Lin wang who shook the four countries. How can wangye bear such humiliation?! Even if they don¡¯t give face to the monk, they should give face to the Buddha. How are they bullying me? They arepletely bullying wangye, ah!¡±
If one, crying, two, make a scene, three, hang herself are a woman¡¯s most powerful tricks, then Murong Qi Qi yed the first one. Even Longze Yu felt like he doesn¡¯t have the tears to cry anymore. A big hat came down on Longze Yu¡¯s head and tightly fastened onto his head, making him feel that his head is bing bigger and bigger. His heart is also more and more disturbed.
Cry, 2. Make a scene, 3 hang herself: make a terrible scene, throw a tantrum
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small nose bing red from crying, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace, turned and wanted to leave.
¡°Qing Qing, let¡¯s leave! Benwang will immediately write a letter to emperor uncle. His nephew¡¯s wife has suffered. Let¡¯s see if he does or doesn¡¯t help!¡±
This time, Longze Yu wanted to die.
Who doesn¡¯t know that Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor Wanyan Lie is the most protective and that the one he loves the most is his treasured nephew? That¡¯s why when Feng Cang was ten years old, he bestowed him the title of wang. When he was fifteen years he let him have military power. Now there¡¯s even the thought of giving him the throne.
If the matter of today get informed to Wanyan Lie with vinegar and oil, he will surely give Feng Cang the permission to use the troops in Xi Qi country. In history there are no small amount of cases where war began just because of a trivial matter!
Adding vinegar and oil: exaggerating.
¡°Wangye, stay behind!¡±
Longze Yu quickly stopped Feng Cang.
Seeing Longze Yu in front of her, Murong Qi Qi ¡®shivered¡¯ and hid into Feng Cang¡¯s embrace.
¡°Wangye, do they want to kill to silence,¡± Murong Qi Qi asked sheepishly
¡®Pu......¡¯
Longze Yu almost vomited blood.
What kill to silence? What does she mean? He just didn¡¯t want the matter to be more serious and only wanted to exin! Howe when it reached Murong Qi Qi, it became kill to silence? Even if you give him ten galls, he will not dare to do something to Feng Cang in front of so many people!
Wang/ wangye: prince of the first rank ?
Wangfei: main wife of a wangye ?
Benwang: I, used by a wangye
Chapter 56 The culprit behind the scenes
Chapter 56 The culprit behind the scenes
Longze Yu wanted to scold Murong Qi Qi, but she was being protected by Feng Cang like that, so he can only resist his temper and smiled: ¡°Wangye1, stay. No matter how we say it, this matter is Yu Er¡¯s fault. Zhen2 will apologize to wangfei3 for Yu Er.¡±
In just a few minutes, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s status has upgraded from princess to wangfei. These words seemed to go along with Feng Cang¡¯s mind. Feng Cang stopped. It¡¯s just that he still guarded Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangfei, zhen doesn¡¯t have many children. Although Yu Er was being too much, but after all she is zhen¡¯s biological daughter. Zhen wasx in discipline. Zhen is also wrong. It¡¯s just can you understand a father¡¯s heart. Can you not not let zhen be the white haired person to send a ck haired person away?¡±
White hared person to send a ck haired person away: to see one¡¯s child die before oneself
Longze Yu¡¯s words were very emotional. It didn¡¯t rule out any possibility to get sympathy. To this point, he is still protecting Longze Yu Er. This pointpared to Murong Tai who was silent from the beginning and let Murong Qi Qi fend for herself is much stronger.
¡°What emperor said makes sense.......¡±
Murong Qi Qi seemed to be somewhat moved, but Feng Cang remained silent. He has already handed this matter for his little wangfei to deal with. It¡¯s just a cheap life. If Murong Qi Qi wants to let Longze Yu Er off, then he won¡¯t stop. If Murong Qi Qi wants Longze Yu Er¡¯s life, then he will certainly help her get it.
¡°Yes, ah......¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi so soon swayed and no longer pursued the matter, Longze Yu exhaled. It seemed that she is just a little liar girl. Just with some eloquent words and she relented.
Seeing Longze Yu¡¯s thoughts, Murong Qi Qi slowly wiped her tears.
¡°I heard there¡¯s an idiom ¡®a financial loss may prevent disaster¡¯. If emperor is willing to give up a little something in exchange for princess¡¯s life, then bengong4 can reconsider this matter!¡±
Hearing that Murong Qi Qi proposed an exchange, Longze Yu nodded: ¡°Good! No problem! If wangfei let bygones be bygones, whatever you want, zhen will give you!¡±
The moment Longze Yu¡¯s golden words fell, Murong Qi Qiughed. Seeing that girl¡¯s smile in front of him, Longze Yu suddenly has a feeling of falling into a trap. Can it be that Murong Qi Qi went around such a circle and was waiting here for him?
Not waiting for Longze Yu to understand, Murong Qi Qi said: ¡°I heard my father say, inside Xi Qi¡¯s pce there is a century old Tai Sui. It¡¯s just happens that our wangye still miss a Tai Sui for his medicine. Why don¡¯t we use this as exchange......?
I have no idea what a ?? (Tai Sui) is. It¡¯s probably a kind of (herbal) nt which is good for the body
Murong Qi Qi hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet, Longze Yu already felt so much pain, he almost bled.
This century old Tai Sui is something his emperor father looted from Da Qin pce when he established Xi Qi. It¡¯s priceless. It¡¯s a good thing. It¡¯s able to make you feel healthy and let you live longer. It¡¯s a treasure he left to save his life, ah!
Da Qin is the dynasty before the world was split into four.
Hearing Murong Qi Qi say that it¡¯s Murong Tai who told her, Longze Yu red once fiercely at Murong Tai. This bastard! He actually told Murong Qi Qi this! Now Murong Qi Qi is taking this as exchange, what should he do?
Murong Tai had no choice but to suffer in silence. He had unspeakable bitter suffering. He doesn¡¯t remember when he has told Murong Qi Qi this. Could it be when he was drunk? This girl is usually very stupid. Why at this moment is she so clever?
Longze Yu was silent, making Murong Qi Qi smile. She gentle ¡®cheche¡¯ two times and looked with somewhat sympathy at Longze Yu Er.
¡°It seems that emperor doesn¡¯t really love you. Then bengong can only tackle this difficult job and take your life!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t!¡±
Longze Yu Er knelt in front of Longze Yu.
¡°Emperor father, usually doesn¡¯t you love Yu Er the most? Can it be that you want to see Yu Er die in front of you? Emperor father, how can you watch and do nothing? Then, what will the world say about you?!¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯sst words, hit Longze Yu¡¯s heart.
Usually he paid most attention to things like virtues and moralities. If today he let Murong Qi Qi behead Longze Yu Er, then the one whose reputation will be damaged is him, this country¡¯s ruler. If the citizens know that he is so ruthless and without a heart, watching and doing nothing, then the people¡¯s heart will be unstable. By that time, he will lose even more!
Gritting his teeth, Longze Yu nodded and epted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s requirements.
¡°Since it¡¯s for making medicine for wangye, then this is a must! Let¡¯s take it as a dowry zhen gave princess Zhao Yang!¡±
¡°Thanks!¡±
When the servants brought the century old Tai Sui, Murong Qi Qi epted it. She smiled and bowed at Longze Yu.
Seeing his treasure in the arms of Murong Qi Qi, Longze Yu really wanted to rush forward and grab it back.
The immortality that many ancient emperors seek is this Tai Sui. Not to mention that the one in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands is a century old Tai Sui, ah! Cut of one, one will grow. Eating one today, tomorrow one will grow. Such a treasure went to Murong Qi Qi with just one sentence. Now Longze Yu¡¯s heart is really bleeding and his body is in pain.
After her life was saved, Longze Yu Er let a breath out of relief. She finally survived! She survived without any damage! Although emperor father lost a century old Tai Sui, but she is a princess. Can it be that a princess¡¯s life is less worthy than that Tai Sui?¡±
¡°Princess......¡±
Longze Yu Er¡¯s heart didn¡¯t feltfortable yet, when Murong Qi Qi slowly walked in front of her.
¡°What do you want?¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile, Longze Yu Er took two steps back. Her eyes were alert.
¡°The Tai Sui was given to you. We don¡¯t own each other anything. Murong Qi Qi don¡¯t go overboard, ah!¡±
¡°Princess, do you want to know who deceive you?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very low. Only the two of them could hear. ¡°Deceive me?¡±
Longze Yu Er froze for a moment and didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words.
¡®Pa, pa......¡¯
Murong Qi Qi pped. Someone who looked like a maid came forward and knelt in front of Longze Yu Er.
¡°Who are you?¡±
Longze Yu Er was sure she has never seen this maid before. What does this maid have to do with what Murong Qi Qi said?
¡°This ve is Fei Cui.¡±
¡°Fei Cui!¡±
The one who shouted wasn¡¯t Longze Yu Er but Murong Xin Lian.
What happened? Was Fei Cui not beaten to death by her? Why is she here? Why does she have anything to do with Murong Qi Qi? Murong Xin Lian¡¯s right eye suddenly twitched badly. Left eye twitching means wealth, right eye twitching means disaster. Can it be that some bad things will happen again?
¡°Second miss, are you surprised that this ve didn¡¯t die?¡±
Fei Cui slowly stood up. She red fiercely at Murong Xin Lian.
¡°You let me steal the glowing pear and put it in third miss¡¯s room to frame her. I did it! You let me release rumors to sully third miss. I did it! You let me pour drug into third miss drink to ruin her reputation. I did it! You wanted to take the opportunity to kill third miss and let me watch out, I also did it......I was so loyal to you, why do you want to murder me!¡±
Fei Cui¡¯s words made everyone whisper. So everything was done by this Jing wang¡¯s cefei5, ah! So she was behind all of that!
¡°Really you did all of that?¡±
Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth while looking at the woman next to him. All those rumors were made by her. All of the things to make him misunderstand has been done her. This woman is so vicious! And he is so foolish to believe those rumors. That¡¯s why she and that girl missed out each other!
Chapter 57 The good play begins
Chapter 57 The good y begins
¡°No, no! Wangye1, you have to believe me!¡±
Seeing the hatred in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes, Murong Xin Lian hastened to defend herself.
Not waiting for Murong Xin Lian¡¯s outstretched hand to touch his sleeve, Longze Jing Tian waved and pushed her away.
¡°Get away......don¡¯t disgust benwang2!¡±
¡°Wangye......¡±
How can Murong Xin Lian ept that the man who just smiled gently at her is now looking at her full of disgust?
No! This is all Murong Qi Qi¡¯s trick. Murong Qi Qi hates her for entering Jing wangfu3. Now she wants to sabotage her and Longze Jing Tian! She can¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi¡¯s evilness seed!
Not being able to move Longze Jing Tian, Murong Xin Lian can only put all her anger on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s aplice......Fei Cui.
¡°Fei Cui, I treated you well. Why did you go along with Murong Qi Qi to frame me?¡±
¡°Second miss, what are you saying? You did so many things against the conscience, can it be that you aren¡¯t afraid of lightening or retribution?!¡±
Fei Cui¡¯s eyes were red and swollen. She cried very pitifully.
¡°That day, you wanted to kill me. Eldest young master was also there. If princess doesn¡¯t believe, you can ask eldest young master!¡±
Originally Murong Tai didn¡¯t believe in these. He firmly believed that it¡¯s just Murong Qi Qi wanting to take Murong Xin Lian down. He wanted to help his second daughter, but Fei Cui mentioned his eldest son. He was a bit hesitant and couldn¡¯t help but look at Murong Jun next to him.
¡°What Fei Cui said is true.¡±
Murong Jun stood up and told everything that happened that day.
Murong Xin Lian totally didn¡¯t expect that Murong Jun who normally looked down at Murong Qi Qi the most, at this time will stood at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side and bite herself in the back. Why is it like that? Why does Murong Jun want to help that rubbish Murong Qi Qi?
¡°Why are you all making trouble for me? Why are you ndering me? Murong Qi Qi what motive do you have? Why is even big brother being bribed by you and help you lie?¡±
At this time, Murong Xin Lian still didn¡¯t forget to attack her. Murong Qi Qi sighed: ¡°Second big sister, we don¡¯t have injustice or animosity between us. Why do you hate me so much?¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words brought back all the memories in Murong Xin Lian.
Why? Why! No matter what the reason is, she just hates Murong Qi Qi. Hate her for obviously being a rubbish, but because of her noble birth, she can get a good marriage. That¡¯s why she hates everything about Murong Qi Qi!
Now, her beautiful dream is about toe true, but before Murong Qi Qi left she made such a scene. Why does this Murong Qi Qi always ruin her matters? Can it be that the heavens send Murong Qi Qi to strain her?
Seeing Longze Jing Tian¡¯s frost like eyes, Murong Xin Lian¡¯sst string of reasoning copsed.
¡°That¡¯s right, I just despise you! I hate you! Aside from having a mother from a noble birth who gave you a noble identity, you are nothing. You are obviously a rubbish, but because of your noble blood, you can be Jing wangfei4. What do you have to get that position? I let Fei Cui spread those rumors. I also told princess many bad things about you. All of these are done by me! I had a hard time, I¡¯ll also let you have a hard time!¡±
People were stunned by Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hysteria.
The truth came out. No matter how stupid Longze Yu Er is, she understood the whole story. If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Xin Lian inciting, confusing the right and the wrong to let her believe those rumors about Murong Qi Qi, she wouldn¡¯t have be such a big joke today!
A country¡¯s princess was being yed by a woman from the illegitimate line. Being used and also lost face in front of the envoys of the three countries. Even more, she let Longze Yu lost the Tai Sui. Because of this she also became theughing stock of the high society. All of these are things Longze Yu Er couldn¡¯t ept.
¡°Murong Xin Lian, bengong5 will kill you!¡±
The just humiliated Longze Yu Er drew out a sword and rushed in Murong Xin Lian¡¯s direction.
The sword¡¯s silver nce stimted Murong Xin Lian¡¯s nerves and also let her woke up. Heavens! What did she just say? Howe she confessed? Why is it that when her eyes met Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, her mind became nk?
Having no time to think all of these through, Murong Xin Lian dodged the oing sword. Seeing Murong Xin Lian dodge, Longze Yu Er became angrier. She immediately pushed her inner energy. Her body was immediately surrounded by orange color.
The other has the intention to kill. For self-protection, Murong Xin Lian was also forced to use her inner energy. She was immediately wrapped b a circle of yellow light.
¡®Ping, Ping!¡¯
Sword and whip shed in the air. Two graceful figures were also intertwined in the air. The ces where they touch were be ruined. Others screamed and dodged, afraid to being hurt by those two. For a time, the imperial garden was a chaos.
¡°Rebel, rebel!¡±
Longze Yu¡¯s beard shook in anger.
¡°Stop them for zhen6! Quickly!
Longze Yu¡¯s words just fell, the two figures rushed towards the royal concubines. Then a scream was heard. Murong Xue Lian knelt on the ground, holding her belly. Under her legs was bright red.
¡°Emp, emperor, save chenqie¡¯s7 child!¡±
¡°Beloved consort!¡±
Longze Yu was also anxious. He hastily rushed to Murong Xue Lian and held her hand tightly.
¡°Imperial physician! Get the imperial physician!¡±
¡°Emperor......¡±
Murong Xue Lian¡¯s face was pale. Her slender left hand clutched her gown. Feeling the warm flow moving in the lower part of her body, Murong Xue Lian was in horror. This child is the root for her to settle down, ah! Nothing must happen!
¡°Emperor, save our child! I beg you!¡±
The beauty¡¯s cry and the unstoppable bleeding, made Longze Yu¡¯s expression became livid.
¡°Darn! Tie them up for zhen!¡±
Before people could separate Murong Xin Lian and Longze Yu Er, they heard a loud noise. Longze Yu Er felt straight to the ground. Her face color was purple. Around her neck was Murong Xin Lian¡¯s whip.
¡°Yu Er!¡±
Duanmu Qing stumbled to Longze Yu Er, but found out that she already passed away!
¡°Yu Er!¡±
¡®Dong......¡¯
At the other side, Murong Xin Lian also knelt on the ground. Blood stained her lower part of the body, but the blood has already be ck.
¡°My child! My child!¡±
Murong Xin Lian grabbed the dress on her belly.
¡°My child!¡±
For a time, the court was in chaos. All the imperial physicians rushed to the imperial garden. The other people stood at a distance. They didn¡¯t even dare to breath loudly, because Longze Yu¡¯s expression is already very very bad.
¡°Emperor, pardon us. The prince couldn¡¯t be kept......¡±
¡°Emperor, pardon us, princess is gone......
¡°Emperor, pardon us. Ce wangfei 8 had a miscarriage......¡±
One after another bad news hit Longze Yu. When she heard that the unborn child couldn¡¯t be kept, Murong Xue Lian eximed and then fainted. The imperial physician immediately rushed forward and let her swallow ginseng tablets. After a long time, Murong Xue Lian slowly woke up.
¡°Beloved consort......¡±
Longze Yu was very sad for losing the child. He really looked forward for this child toe into this world. He hadn¡¯t thought that the child will be lost.
¡°Emperor!¡±
Murong Xue Lian heartbrokenly leaned against Longze Yu¡¯s embrace.
¡°Emperor, you must definitely take revenge for our child! Definitely take revenge for our child, ah!¡±
Wang/ wangye: prince of the first rank ?
Benwang: I, used by a wangye ?
Wangfu: residence of a wangye ?
Wangfei: main wife if a wangye ?
Bengong: I, used by the females of the imperial family ?
Zhen: I, used by an emperor ?
Chenqie: used by the females of the imperial family towards someone of higher rank ?
Cefei/ ce wangfei: second ranked wife of a wangye
Chapter 58 The bad news one after another
Chapter 58 The bad news one after another
Murong Xue Lian kept shouting revenge. Her eyes are ring full of hate at Duanmu Qing. Why? Why is the unlucky one her? Why is her child that she tried so hard to protect for six months gone and Duanmu Qing is unscathed?
¡°Good! Beloved consort, be assured. Zhen1 will give justice to you and your child!¡±
Longze Yu¡¯s mood is very terrible. All bad things stacked together. Here he hadn¡¯t appeased Murong Xue Lian yet, when there Duanmu Qing began to cry.
¡°Yu Er, my Yu Er. Wake up, ah! Wake up quickly, ah!¡±
Duanmu Qing held Longze Yu Er¡¯s body and cried loudly.
¡°Yu Er, Yu Er.......¡±
Just in one hour, he lost two children. Longze Yu couldn¡¯t help but look at Murong Xin Lian angrily. Everything is because of her! If it wasn¡¯t because of her, Longze Yu Er wouldn¡¯t die. Murong Xue Lian also wouldn¡¯t have a miscarriage!
Sensing the killing intent in Longze Yu¡¯s eyes, Murong Xin Lian climbed to Longze Yu and kowtowed: ¡°Emperor, I¡¯m innocent! I also lost a child. That¡¯s your first grandchild, ah!¡±
Murong Xue Lian¡¯s words let Longze Yu¡¯s gaze shift to the long trail of blood behind her. That blood is not red like Murong Xue Lian¡¯s but dark. It seemed that there¡¯s some more to it!
Longze Yu didn¡¯t believe Murong Xin Lian. Before he didn¡¯t hear anything about an imperial grandson. Howe there¡¯s now suddenly an unborn imperial grandson? Immediately Longze Yu let the imperial physician inspect Murong Xin Lian¡¯s body. He wanted to know the truth!
The imperial physician stroked his beard while checking the pulse for Murong Xin Lian. After a while, he changed to the right hand. After a while again, the imperial physician walked to Longze Yu and knelt down.
¡°Emperor, Jing wang cefei2 took medicine for abortion. That¡¯s why she miscarriage. Besides this drug is strong. Ce wangfei hurt her body. I¡¯m afraid that she won¡¯t be able to get pregnant in the future anymore......¡±
¡°Medicine for abortion?¡±
Not only Longze Yu, Murong Xin Lian was also in stunned.
What did she eat? Why is it like this? Murong Xin Lian forgot the pain on her body and tried hard to remember everything that happened after she entered the pce. At the end, she remembered the empress rewarding her dessert and wine!
¡°It¡¯s you! It was you, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Murong Xin Lian struggled to get on her feet. Her finger trembled when pointing at Duanmu Qing: ¡°I only ate the dessert and wine you rewarded. It¡¯s definitely you! Right? How can you be so heartless? Why......?¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s words incensed Duanmu Qing¡¯s anger. She stood up and pped Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Who do you think you are to dare to speak like this to bengong3! Bengong didn¡¯t even pursue the charge of you murdering the princess. You actually dare to frame bengong? Servants, drag this bitch down for bengong!¡±
¡°The empress dowager has arrived.......¡±
Just at this moment, a group of people escorted a grey haired olddy in.
¡°Empress mother, why did youe over?¡±
Seeing Shangguan Fei Yan, Longze Yu immediately went to greet her.
¡°Aijia4 heard that some things happened ande over to take a look.¡±
Seeing the blood on the ground, Shangguan Fei Yan frowned.
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Empress mother, you need to get justice for chenqie5!¡±
Duanmu Qing knelt down in front of Shangguan Fei Yan and cried hysterically.
¡°Yu Er died, empress mother!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Only after hearing this Shangguan Fei Yan saw the lifeless body of Longze Yu Er on the ground. Immediately her expression changed.
¡°What happened? Who is so cruel to kill aijia¡¯s Yu Er?¡±
¡°Imperial grandmother, asking you to get justice for granddaughter inw! Asking you to get justice to your great grandchild!¡±
Seeing Duanmu Qing being the thief crying thief, Murong Xin Lian also knelt in front of Shangguan Fei Yan. Her whole body was covered in blood. Her face was pale because of the miscarriage. She looked very pitiful.
After Shangguan Fei Yan understood what has happened, the cane in her hand hit the ground hard.
¡°Investigate! Investigate throughout for aijia! Wu Ji, you take charge!¡±
The empress dowager personallymanded Shangguan Wu Ji to take charge of the investigation. Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t say anything. The four great families; she came from Duanmu family, behind Murong Xue Lian there¡¯s Li family. As for Bai family, they have always just only been merchants. Shangguan Wu Ji is then the most suitable candidate.
Just in a moment, Shangguan Wu Ji already found the pce maid who send the dessert and wine to Murong Xin Lian, but she had already been silenced. The whole atmosphere became more heavy because of the pce maid¡¯s death.
The person Duanmu Qing sent to send the dessert and wine to Murong Xin Lian is dead. People couldn¡¯t help but suspect Duanmu Qing.
¡°Empress, what¡¯s going on?¡±
Although Shangguan Fei Yan is over fifty years, but her prestige is still there.
¡°Muhou, chenqie doesn¡¯t know. Someone must¡¯ve definitely framed chenqie.¡±
Duanmu Qing also didn¡¯t expect that the oue will be like this, but she really didn¡¯t do anything, ah!
¡°It¡¯s definitely you!¡±
Murong Xin Lian began to cry.
Just the thought that because of Duanmu Qing, she won¡¯t be able to get pregnant ever again, Murong Xin Lian was full of hate till her teeth ttered. Even if Longze Jing Tian dotes on her very much, but not being able to have children, she won¡¯t have a thing to fall back on. Moreover, the disgust that Longze Jing Tian has for her is so obvious. In the future, she won¡¯t have good days anymore on Jing wangfu6
¡°You don¡¯t have children, so you¡¯re jealous that I¡¯ve be pregnant. That¡¯s why you can¡¯t tolerate him!¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s lips trembled and she was very emotional.
¡°Just now I saw with my own eyes how princess hurt imperial noble consortniangniang7 which led to her miscarriage. Now you harmed me so I lost the child. It must be because you can¡¯t see our Murong fu8 be well. That¡¯s why you used underhanded means to kill! It¡¯s definitely like this!¡±
Not waiting for people to understand, Murong Xin Lian rushed to Duanmu Qing. She grabbed Duanmu Qing. She rolled with Duanmu Qing on the ground and twisted into a ball.
¡°Presumptuous! It¡¯s obviously you who killed my Yu Er! You¡¯re just too vicious!¡±
Duanmu Qing also didn¡¯t show weakness, grabbed Murong Xin Lian¡¯s hairs and teared at it.
¡°Presumptuous! Really presumptuous!¡±
An empress and a wangfei9 are now like abandoned wives shouting on the streets. Really shameful! Longze Yu¡¯s face became red from anger.
¡°Separate them! Separate!¡±
Don¡¯t know if it was Duanmu Qing who was unlucky or what, when the two were separated, Duanmu Qing stepped on Murong Xin Lian¡¯s gown. Along with the two pce maids, the four fell down. Duanmu Qing was the unluckiest. She was pressed down by three people above her.
¡°Aiya......¡±
Murong Xin Lian¡¯s knee just happened to touch Duanmu Qing¡¯s belly. The next moment, Duanmu Qing felt pain in her belly. Immediately two hands covered her belly, but it was toote. A warm liquid streamed out along her thigh.
¡°My child. My child!¡±
Seeing such a scene, Duanmu Qing was in daze.
¡°Imperial physician, imperial physician! Come quickly. Save my child!¡±
Duanmu Qing being pregnant surprised the crowd. Originally she wanted to stabilize the foetus before telling Longze Yu, but such an ident happened in the middle.
¡°Niangniang, don¡¯t grief too much......¡±
After the imperial physician checked the pulse for Duanmu Qing, he shook his head. Just a few words broke Duanmu Qing¡¯sst hope.
¡°No! My son, ah......¡±
The child she hoped to get for so many years was gone in just a moment. Duanmu Qing couldn¡¯t ept this fact. She shook her head and screamed: ¡°No......¡±

Chapter 59 Cohabiting before marriage (1)
Chapter 59 Cohabiting before marriage (1)
The supposed to be very lively Chongyang pce feast, because of the death of one princess and the miscarriages of three imperial females became very strange. Smell of blood entered the people¡¯s noses. The wind also became biting. The whole scene was very quiet. So quiet that it became somewhat scary.
¡°Wangye1 I¡¯m tired.¡±
Just then, Murong Qi Qi softly spoke: ¡°Let¡¯s go back.......¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Feng Cang saw from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face that she is tired. He held her hand and said goodbye to Shangguan Fei Yan.
¡°Please return, Nan Lin wang. When princess Zhao Yang marry, aijia2 will definitely personally send her off!¡±
Shangguan Fei Yan waved her hand somewhat tired.
A royal scandal was seen by a wangye of another country. No matter how you see it, her face can¡¯t be held up. Letting them go back is better, lest to let them find out the truth. If these people know that royals are killing each other, then Bei Zhou country willugh till they lost their teeth.
Out of the pce, Murong Qi Qi became a lot more rxed. Even breathing became more easy.
¡°Miss!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi came out, Su Yue and Su Mei immediately went forward and greeted.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Murong Qi Qi went on the carriage. She didn¡¯t expect that Feng Cang will follow her.
¡°Qing Qing, why don¡¯t youe and live at with me?¡±
¡°Does wangye want to cohabit before marriage?¡±
Murong Qi Qi removed a hairpin. Hair fell like loose like waterfall.
Really tired! Although this ¡®Autumn Flower¡¯ is really beautiful, but those gold are really too heavy. If she had known that this crown will be on her head, she would¡¯ve designed it more light weighted.
¡°Cohabiting before marriage? This sentence is not bad!¡±
Feng Cang came nearer, lifted some hair and sniffed it.
¡°I don¡¯t have a problem. Don¡¯t know what Qing Qing think of it?¡±
¡°Not good!¡±
Murong Qi Qi withdraw her hair from his hand and sat on the other side.
¡°Wangye, I want to go back to xiangfu3. Today was so busy. I¡¯m tired. After the marriage, wangye can see me every day. Now, asking wangye to leave. After all men and women have differences. Etiquettes are indispensable!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were so upright, making it that Feng Cang can onlyugh bitterly. Originally he thought that after what happened at the pce, little wangfei4 will ept him. He didn¡¯t expect, ah......that there also will be a day when he is rejected. He is actually being ¡®driven¡¯ out of the carriage by Murong Qi Qi.
Looking at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage slowly fading away, Feng Cang heard a chuckle around him. It¡¯s Ru Yi. His face was red, but he didn¡¯t dare tough out loudly.
¡°Laugh, don¡¯t suffocate to death.......¡±
¡°Hahahaha!¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to finish speaking, Ru Yi hunched down with his hands on his belly. Heughed out loud. Even tears came out.
¡°Wangye....... hahaha......wangfei is really too cute......hahaha......if those misses in Bei Zhou gets to know this....... hahaha....... wangye, your fame, ah.......¡±
¡°Are you very happy that your wangye has been rejected?¡±
Seeing the tears in Ru Yi¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang smiled while shaking his head.
Remembering Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile like flower and her faint sense of alienation, Feng Cang said: ¡°I¡¯d like to let my fame go into ashes, just to get the beauty to smile......¡±
Back at Cui Zhu yuan5, Murong Qi Qi let the people retreat and only let Su Yue and Su Mei stay.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak. She just quietly stared at the tea leaves rotating in the cup. So silent, that it made Su Yue and Su Mei terrified. Probably they followed ¡®humane¡¯ Murong Qi Qi for too long and has forgotten her identity and also forgotten her methods.
It was quiet for about the time to make tea, Murong Qi Qi gently put down the cup of tea.
¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, you go back to Moyu and exchange Wu Qing and Tie Xue toe serve me......¡±
Hearing this, the two rmed. They immediately knelt down in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss, subordinates know our fault! Miss don¡¯t drive us away!¡±
¡°What, you don¡¯t even listen to my words anymore?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice is very gentle. Her gaze floated over the two.
¡°Or is it that you think I¡¯m not as great as godfather. That¡¯s why I can¡¯t order you?¡±
¡°Miss, subordinates know our wrong. Subordinates must devote to our duty and stopped Nan Lin wang. Subordinates are wrong!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue kept kowtowing. The two know very well what they did wrong today. They are the most personal people of Murong Qi Qi. Today they just let Feng Cang in. Fortunately, Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any bad intention towards Murong Qi Qi. If he wanted to harm Murong Qi Qi, in an unsuspecting circumstance even if Murong Qi Qi is an expert in martial arts, she will suffer first before she can react.
The two heads made ¡®dangdang¡¯ sounds on the floor, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t relent.
Presumably it has to do with her experience from the previous life. Even here, when Murong Qi Qi is asleep, she is sixty percent asleep and forty percent awake. Only until when she got Su Mei and Su Yue, the two were very loyal, she gradually loosened and was able to sleep peacefully.
It¡¯s just that this time, the two let Feng Cang in. It seemed that she needs to restore to her previous state.
It was rare to believe in people again. She has ced her life in the two¡¯s hands. But can people¡¯s heart really be trusted? In the previous life, the person she trusted so much have given her a fatal blow. The pain of the bullet prating her heart, she still can feel it.......
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes became misty, Su Mei and Su Yue felt heartache.
That year when sir Mozun brought Murong Qi Qi to Moyu, she was like this. She is clearly in sight, but will let people feel out of reach. As if when they touch her, she will disappear.
¡°Miss, give subordinates one opportunity to correct! Please give subordinates one more opportunity!¡±
Gradually, the two¡¯s forehead skin became torn. Blood began to came out. How can they forget that as personal guards, they are Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes and ears and herst line of defense, ah?! Their master is only Murong Qi Qi, ah!
¡°Miss, please give us one more chance! Thest chance! We will definitely not disappoint miss again!¡±
Today, the trust they cultivated so hard at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s disappeared. This is what they protected for so long, ah! Because of an oversight, they lost miss¡¯s trust!
Another time to make tea passed. Murong Qi Qi stood up and throw a porcin bottle at Su Mei and Su Yue.
¡°Only on time, thest chance!¡±
¡°Yes! Thanks miss! Thanks miss!¡±
Being able to say at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, Su Mei and Su Yue almost shouted in happiness. The two quickly got up and respectfully stood behind Murong Qi Qi.
¡°First apply the medicine. It¡¯ll be bad if you are disfigured. It¡¯s better for females to be beautiful!¡±
¡°Yes! Yes!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue rubbed the medicine. Murong Qi Qi looked at the happy appearance of these two people who followed her and smiled.
Since life is a gamble, then let her gamble one more time! And be stubborn for one more time. Believe people¡¯s heart one more time! If she is wrong, then she only has to pay with one life. It¡¯s just that the next time, she doesn¡¯t know if there will be a chance to be reborn again......
At night, news came from the pce. The truth has been found out. The culprit behind everything is Murong Xin Lian. She yed and directed a miscarriage drama and got one stone hitting three birds. Not only did she let empress and imperial noble consort lost their child, she also killed princess Ping Yang.
¡°Miss, did second miss really do it? Howe subordinate feel that there more inside all of this?¡±
The forehead of Su Yue became less swollen after applying medicine. Although there¡¯s still some clotted blood, but Murong Qi Qi¡¯s medicine, with only two or three days, it¡¯ll be turn back to how it was before.
¡°She?¡±
Murong Qi Quughed.
¡°She is nothing but a pitiful scapegoat......¡±
¡°Then who is the culprit behind of this?¡±
Su Mei frowned.
¡°Although miss provoked the fight between princess and second miss, but the other things were out of our reach, ah!¡±
¡°Ah......who is the biggest beneficiary? The one whoughedst is the real culprit!¡±
A dark mist crossed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. She looked in the direction of Jing wangfu6.
TLNote: remember in the previous chapter when DQ was surprised that the maid had been murdered? I think she didn¡¯t gave MXL any abortion medicine. It¡¯s all done by Jing wang. But it isn¡¯t specified in the book, so let your imaginations run wild.
Inside the dungeon, Murong Xin Lian pped the cell door with a pale face,
¡°Let me out! I¡¯m Jing wang cefei7! Let me out! I¡¯m innocent!¡±
¡°What are you screaming about? Do you not want to let people sleep?¡±
The head prison guard came over. He raised a whip and whipped a few times.
¡°If you don¡¯t stay still, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
Having eating pain, Murong Xin Lian became well-behaved. She didn¡¯t cause a ruckus anymore and grabbed the head prison guard¡¯s trouser. Trembling she handed him the gold bracelet from her wrist.
¡°Please help me. Please go to Jing wangfu. Jing wang will definitelye to rescue me! I¡¯m beg you!¡±
Weighing the gold bracelet in his hands, the head prison guard smiled and revealed a mouth full of yellow teeth. His eyes swept back and forth over Murong Xin Lian¡¯s body.
¡°And these, all of these I can give you!¡±
Seeing this person¡¯s greed, Murong Xin Lian quickly took down all the jewelry from her body and gave them to the head prison guard.
¡°If I can go out, I¡¯ll definitely repay your kindness! I beg you, help me find Jing wang. I¡¯m his beloved consort. He will definitely help righten the injustice!¡±
¡°This is not bad!¡±
The head prison guard put away the treasures and went back to Murong Xin Lian. He opened the door. The head prison guard walked to Murong Xin Lian while revealing a mouth of yellow teeth.
¡°Beauty, want me to help you get out, alright! But you should let me and my brothers feel happiness first!¡±
¡°What do you want to do?!¡±
Only now did Murong Xin Lian saw the desire in his eyes. She took a few steps back. But because of her body being weak, only a few steps and she had been caught.
¡°Let me go! I¡¯m Jing wang cefei! Bastard! Let me go! Your gall is big!¡±
Murong Xin Lian struggled, but unfortunately during the day all her energy has been depleted. Now her body doesn¡¯t even have the slightest strength. She is no match for the strong head prison guard. After just a moment, she had been stripped clean.
¡°Zeze! In the end you really are a wangye¡¯s woman. The skin is soft, ah!¡±
The head prison guard stared at Murong Xin Lian. His saliva almost dripped out. A white flower like nephrite simted his senses. Not waiting any longer, in just a moment, he stripped himself clean.
¡°I beg you, don¡¯t! I just had a miscarriage, I won¡¯t be able to......¡±
Murong Xin Lian cried. She shoved the head prison guard who ising at her. But her strength is too small. Her fist hit the head prison guard, but they felt like raindrops on the ground. It didn¡¯t have any effect.
¡°Beauty, just let me be! I will love you very well......¡±
¡°Ah! Beast......wuwuwu......get away......¡±
Outside the cell, a candle flickered. The shadow on the wall moved very hard. Murong Xin Lian¡¯s mouth has been covered by the head prison guard¡¯s hand. Desperate tears rolled down her cheeks andnded on the straw. Everything was crystal clear with unlimited resentment......and humiliation.
The time seemed particrly slow. So slow that it felt like a lifetime.
After the head prison guard put on his pants and stood up contentedly, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s didn¡¯t have any more tears to shed.
¡°The taste is not bad! Next time, I still want......¡±
The head prison guard didn¡¯t finish yet, when his body went to the ground. On his back, there¡¯s a shiny dagger. And behind him, stood a masked person in ck.
¡°Can you still move?¡±
¡°Who, who are you?¡±
The sudden appearance of the person in ck scared Murong Xin Lian. Can it be that he came to silence her? Can it be that she will die being so weak? She is unwilling, ah! Obviously she is the victim, ah!
The person in ck threw a set of clothes at Murong Xin Lian.
¡°The pce told everyone that you did everything. You are now an abandoned person. If you don¡¯t go now, you¡¯ll be a vengeful spirit. You can choose to follow me or you can choose to wait and die here.¡±
Long before, Murong Xin Lian already guessed this oue, but she still held on the illusion. At least she got pregnant for Longze Jing Tian and also had a miscarriage for him. He at least will care about their old love. She didn¡¯t expect......
¡°I, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±
Enduring the pain on her body, Murong Xin Lian gritted her teeth and stood up. She covered her body in the ck clothes.
¡°Go!¡±
The person in ck seemed very familiar with the surroundings. Murong Xin Lian carefully followed behind him until the pce was far behind them.
¡°Benefactor, thank you!¡±
Reaching a safe ce, Murong Xin Lian couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and limply fall to the ground. She breathed quickly. The pain from her body stimting her. If it wasn¡¯t because she had to survive, she simply won¡¯t be able to endure for so long.
¡®Pa!¡¯
The person in ck threw a ck bag towards Murong Xin Lian.
¡°Flee! Flee to somewhere nobody knows you. Begin a new life!¡±
Opening the bag, inside are full of gold leaves. Murong Xin Lian immediately kowtowed three times to the person in ck.
¡°Benefactor, today you saved me. I, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s life is yours. In the future if benefactor has any need, just order. Even if it¡¯s going through fire and water, I will do I without hesitation!¡±
¡°You are someone who knows gratitude......¡±
The person in ckughed. He went forward and helped Murong Xin Lian up.
¡°No matter if in the future you are living in riches or living humbly, you only have to do one thing. Don¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi live well. Then it¡¯s a repayment to me!¡±
¡°Murong Qi Qi?¡±
Hearing this familiar name and thinking back to the today¡¯s series of tragedies; everything happened from the moment she brought in Fei Cui. Only after that did she end up so miserably. Murong Xin Lian gritted her teeth and nodded fiercely.
¡°Benefactor, be assured. Murong Qi Qi is also my enemy. As long as I have one breath, I will be her enemy and let her not be able to live well for her whole life. If there¡¯s me, there won¡¯t be her. If there¡¯s her, there won¡¯t be me!¡±
¡°Then I can be assured! Go quickly. If you goter, then it¡¯ll be toote!¡±
Murong Xin Lian said her goodbyes to the person in ck. With pain, she walked slowly. She walked two step and turned back. The person in ck already disappeared.
Who is that person in ck? Why does he have so much hostility towards Murong Qi Qi?
Murong Xin Lian doesn¡¯t know this. She also doesn¡¯t want to figure it out. The only thing she is certain about is that she needs to go to Bei Zhou country. Not for anything else, just because Murong Qi Qi will go there. Because Murong Qi Qi is the woman who ruined her life!
She wants revenge! Take revenge! For her mother, for her son, for her loss of the position of wangfei, for all the humiliation she suffered! She must take revenge! She must let Murong Qi Qi fall into the eighteenth level of hell without any chance to revive again!
When the news of Murong Xin Lian escaping the prison came out, Murong Qi Qi was lyingzily on the roof. She was enjoying the chrysanthemum cake that Su Mei just made.
¡°Oh? Escaped?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth turned into a devilish arc.
¡°Miss, should we investigate?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s intuition is telling her that Murong Xin Lian can¡¯t stay alive. Besides, she always does things without giving a chance for the enemy to survive! Cutting the weed without eliminating the roots, the spring wind blows once and it¡¯ll live again! Moreover, it¡¯s Murong Xin Lian. Such a stubborn thing that no matter how you beat it, it won¡¯t die! So, this person must die!
Cut weed and eliminate the roots: eliminatepletely
¡°Issue an ¡®Order to kill¡¯. No matter who, as long as they take Murong Xin Lian¡¯s head, then he is this year¡¯s ¡®Best killer.¡¯
¡°Yes!¡±
Inside the pce, because of Murong Xin Lian¡¯s matter, Longze Yu was very furious. He immediately approved a decree. The whole country is to chase after Murong Xin Lian. For a time, Murong Xin Lian¡¯s potraits were stered over whole Xi Qi¡¯s streets. Whole Xi Qi knows of Murong Xin Lian¡¯s ¡®stained misdeeds¡¯. Everyone casted this snake-hearted woman away.
In contrast, Ming Yue Xin this Nan Feng¡¯s princess has been forgotten by people.
Without her hands, Ming Yue Xin was crying in Xi Qi¡¯s pce. Longze Yu was so busy. He can only get Ming Yue Cheng to appease her. However, it doesn¡¯t seem to have any effect at all. Only in the middle of the night did Ming Yue Cheng return to his own hostage fu8.
¡°Who?¡±
Just when he opened the door of the study, Ming Yue Cheng felt the strangeness. The next second, two silver light went straight to his eyes!
¡®Hong!¡¯
Ming Yue Cheng dodged. His hand mped silver needles, but the other party has a backup move. A silver dagger flew over. It left only a half-inch away from his throat.
¡®Ka......¡¯
Ming Yue Cheng opened his mouth and bite the dagger. The silver needles in his hand flew out at the same time to the other party¡¯s face. But it didn¡¯t reach the other party yet, the other party waved; the needles went into the sleeves.

Chapter 60 Cohabiting before marriage (2)
¡°Your highness, your highness!¡±
Outside, Fu Er heard the movement inside and quickly came in. Seeing that inside the study there¡¯s one more man in red, Fu Er was surprised.
¡°Who are you? Why did you trespass into the hostage fu1?¡±
¡°Ah, crown prince has good skills!¡±
The man in red turned around.
Heavens! When he saw this man, Fu Er couldn¡¯t help but admire him in his heart. His own crown prince is already like a celestial being, he didn¡¯t think that in this world there¡¯s still such a refined man. Not only Fu Er, when Ming Yue Cheng saw that man, his heart also escted. But the other party didn¡¯t look old. He can only be referred as a boy.
This boy is about fifteen or sixteen years old. From far, he looked like an immortal; refined and elegant. From close, standard eyebrows, phoenix eyes, handsome nose and cherry lips. The skin is like cream. The face is peach shaped. He looked clever and quick-witted without any trace of dust.
Although his clothes are hot red color, but it didn¡¯t erase anything from him. Instead this eye-catching red made him appear more outstanding. And between the eyebrows of this boy, there¡¯s a rose color mole, which made him have a hint of the aura of an immortal. He also has a hint of earthly obsession with made him look like a half human half deity.
Presumably, deities must look like this! Inside Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart gave birth to such thoughts.
¡®Ceng......¡¯
Ming Yue Cheng was lost in thoughts. The boy appeared in front of him in a gust of wind. A feather fan is held against Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s neck artery.
¡°Crown prince, if your thoughts are elsewhere, your life will be lost!¡±
¡°Presumptuous!
Seeing that the boy is being so rude, Fu Er shouted. His hands turned into fists and headed toward the boy.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that old uncle is a high skilled master!¡±
The boy smiled very dreamlike. His body disappeared. When Fu Er noticed, the feather fan is already at his neck. A few centimeters closer and his head will fall on the ground.
Cold......Fu Er has never seen such charm and ghost like skill. Immediately his back turned cold full of cold sweat till his bones. Although scared, but Fu Er soon calmed down.
¡°Hero, if you want money, go ahead. If you want life, please spare crown prince. Take my life!¡±
Daxia (hero): is something used to call people who roam the jianghu. They are not real heroes. As there were manyins that I use too many Chinese terms, I¡¯ll use hero for daxia in the future chapters.
¡°No!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng came out of daze. Cold eye stared at the boy in red. His body burst of coldness.
¡°If you dare to hurt Fu Er, even to the end of the earth, I will find and kill you!¡±
In just a moment, the atmosphere in the room turned heavy. The boy didn¡¯t retrieve his hand but also didn¡¯t attack. He only looked at this pair of master and servant smilingly.
¡°Ah, interesting.¡±
After quite a while, the boy retrieved his fan. His feet moved and he sat on a pear wood chair.
¡°I¡¯ll introduce myself. My name is Guang Hua. I came to talk about a business with crown prince!¡±
¡°Guang Hua gongzi2?¡±
Not only Fu Er, Ming Yue Cheng was also very shocked.
Rumors say that Guang Hua gongzi unrivalled in his time. Today they saw him. Such looks, such ability, really only the word ¡®Guang Hua¡¯ can match with him. It¡¯s just what people never imagined is, that Guang Hua gongzi is actually so young......
Guang Hua means brilliance
The other party showed his intention, Ming Yue Cheng nodded. Fu Er quietly retreated and shut the door.
¡°Business? Don¡¯t know what kind of business Guang Hua gongzi wants to do with me? I¡¯m only a hostage. What do I have to let the famous Guang Hua gongzi set his eyes on?¡±
The other party entered the hostage fu secretly. Now he showed his identity. It seems that there really is something going on. Ming Yue Cheng sat across Guang Hua gongzi. He still lookedzy. It¡¯s just that asionally a touch of agility will sh in his eyes making people unable to ignore it.
¡°The throne......,¡± Guang Hua gongzi slowly spit out two words. ¡°What does crown prince think?¡±
Have to say, that such direct words from Guang Hua gongzi let Ming Yue Cheng go in daze for a moment. ¡®The throne¡¯ is indeed something very tempting. But Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t understand why Guang Hua gongzi looked for him and want to help him? In the world there¡¯s no free lunch. He understood this.
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ¡®carefulness¡¯, Guang Hua gongzi opened the feather fan in his hand and waved slowly.
¡°All the clothes of Hn Min came from my Jue Se Fang. Your emperor father¡¯s robe came out of my hand. If I did something on those, within a month, they will die from a heart attack. Then gongzi will have a chance......¡±
Guang Hua gongzi talking like this, Ming Yue Cheng understood why the other party have such air.
The love Hn Min has for Jue Se Fang has already became to the state of addiction. From a silk handkerchief, to her socks, to a side stitch in her dress must be produced from Jue Se Fang.
Hn Min is the mother of princess Xin and the imperial noble consort of Nan Feng
If doing it ording to how Guang Hua gongzi say, put some drug on the objects, then it¡¯ll be really that even a ghost won¡¯t be able to detect it. It¡¯s also the best way.
¡°What do you want? Or what do you want to get to know from me?¡±
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng be serious, Guang Hua gongzi chuckled. His pair of phoenix eyes jumped and became radiant.
¡°I¡¯m a merchant. Merchants naturally value benefits the most. If I help your highness get the throne, I want the sixteen states of You Yun.
Hearing this, Ming Yue Cheng got angry. Sixteen states of You Yun. Among them Nan four states is Nan Feng country¡¯s northern gate which connects to the three countries. It¡¯s a military fortress. Now Guang Hua gongzi is saying that he wants sixteen states of You Yun, it¡¯s obviously wanting Ming Yue Cheng to cut off territory! How can he ept this?!
¡°Sixteen states of You Yun? Guang Hua gongzi has big appetite! Can it be that you want to make yourself emperor?¡±
¡°Crown prince is too impatient. I haven¡¯t finish talking yet! I only want the ¡®special ess order¡¯ of the sixteen states of You Yun.¡±
¡°Special ess order?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng knows about this.
That year when the country divided in three, the sixteen states of You Yun have also been divided. Each of the four countries upied four states. It¡¯s a special geographic location. The sixteen states of You Yun became the location where the merchants of the four countries gather, the ce where the countries exchange things with each other. Even foreign countries wille here for transaction. So the profits are veryrge.
However, the people who can do business in the sixteen states of You Yun are no ordinary people. It may be an imperial merchant, a nobility, or a young master from the four great families......all of them have prominent identities. All of them have some rtionship with the imperial family. They are no ordinary merchants.
To enter the sixteen states of You Yun and do business there, you must have a ¡®special ess order¡¯. This order is extremely rare. It¡¯s only in the hands of the imperial family. Ordinary merchants have no way to get it.
Now, the special ess order of Nan Feng country is in the hands of Hn Min¡¯s nephew Hn Lian Yi¡¯s hands. What Guang Hua gongzi wants is this special ess order.
¡°If your highness gets the throne and can give me the special ess order, I¡¯ll give your highness an annual bonus of one percent. What does highness think?¡±
¡°Three percent! I want three percent annual bonus! Doing business in the sixteen states of You Yun, how big the profit is, Guang Hua gongzi presumably knows better than I. So I want three percent annual bonus. It¡¯s not a bit going overboard!¡±
Ming Yue didn¡¯t hesitate the slightest and raised three fingers in the air.
¡°Good!¡±
Guang Hua gongzi epted without hesitation. Then he took out a ¡®contract¡¯. Seeing that the boy in red even prepared this, Ming Yue Cheng knows that the other party came prepared. The other party has long wanted to do business with him. In his heart, he trusted Guang Hua gongzi a bit more.
They signed, put a fingerprints and each one took a copy of the contract.
Guang Hua gongzi carefully put away the contract. Then he gave Ming Yue Cheng a Guanyin carved out of sandalwood.
ujh
Guanyin: goddess of mercy
¡°After your highness return, you can use this keepsake and go to Jue Se Fang in Nan Feng¡¯s capital. The shopkeeper Fang Bai will listen to your instructions. I will wait for your highness¡¯ good news!¡±
¡°You believe in me so much?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng looked at this young man who is full of confidence.
¡°If I lose, you will also lose......¡±
¡°Haha!¡±
Hearing Ming Yue Cheng say that, Guang Hua gongziughed.
¡°Your highness is the true son of heaven. How will you lose?! Crown prince winning is me winning. A win-win deal.... everyone will make money, how will your highness not be tempted? Besides in the pce, isn¡¯t there empress Wan who can help......
The more Guang Hua gongzi talk, the uglier Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression be. He actually knows that the current empress Gu Yun Wan is his people. Is there something that he doesn¡¯t know about?
¡°Unless crown prince has forgotten the three hundred twenty-one innocent people of Miao family who died unjustified; Unless crown prince can sleep well every night on empress Yun¡¯s jade pillow.......
¡°Shut up!¡±
Hearing thest part, Ming Yue Cheng roared. With one stroke, he smashed the wooden table in front of Guang Hua gongzi.
¡°Don¡¯t mention my empress mother!¡±
The Ming Yue Cheng at this time is different from the usual romantic and yer self. His eyes are blood-red and red ferociously at Guang Hua gongzi. That look is like he wanted to cut him (GH) in thousand pieces! It¡¯s like wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Miao Chu Yun, Nan Feng¡¯s empress, because of practising witchcraft was sent to the cold pce. Later Miao familymitted treason. The whole n was executed......
Outsiders think empress Yun is vicious and that Miao family deserve it. Only Ming Yue Cheng will never forget that night ten years ago. The cold pce was in big fire, making the whole sky be red. His empress mother used her life, used Miao family¡¯s demise in exchange for his safety.......
¡°Cheng er3, you must definitely continue to live well! Even if it¡¯s living in humiliation; even if it¡¯s to live and drift without purpose, you must definitely live! You must definitely get justice for empress mother and Miao family. You must let the whole world know that empress mother died in injustice!¡±
Thest words of empress Yun while she was in the fire still rang in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ears. Every night he dreamed of the smiling appearance of his empress mother being burned to ashes. Every night it haunted his mind making him unable to sleep......even in death, he won¡¯t forget!
¡®Pa, pa!¡¯
Guang Hua gongzi pped twice.
¡°I thought that being in Xi Qi for ten years, even crown prince¡¯s edge has been drained. Now seeing crown prince like this, I can be at ease. Crown prince, don¡¯t use such gaze to look at me. The one you need to hate and take revenge on, is in Nan Feng. I¡¯m not your punching bag.¡±
¡°Humph!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng took over the sandalwood Guanyin from Guang Hua gongzi. Arrogance covered his fierceness of before. His pair of eyes looked coldly at Guang Hua gongzi. His whole body exuded a noble air. It¡¯spletely different from his usual yer self. This is only an aura an emperor can have!
¡°When zhen4 ascend the throne, zhen will definitely give you punishment for the disrespect of today!¡±
¡°Then, I¡¯ll wait and see......¡±
A ¡®zhen¡¯ let Ming Yue Chengpletely change. This man has been awakened. Then the sky of the south (nan) will change......
The day that Murong Qi Qi will leave is getting closer and closer. In Xi Qi when girls reach sixteen, they will be considered an adult. Murong Qi Qi happens to turn sixteen at neenth of September. Because she is princess Zhao Yang which was personally bestowed by the emperor and because she is Bei Zhou¡¯s future Nan Lin wangfei5, that¡¯s why the ceremony to be an adult was exceptionally grand.
Although Xi Qi¡¯s imperial family suffered a series of bad luck before, but for princess Zhao Yang¡¯s ceremony, Longze Yu still sent over the court ritualists. Plus, the fact that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtions with people is not bad. Many of those members of the good families also came.
¡°Congrattions princess!¡±
Bai Yi Yue is a month older than Murong Qi Qi. She has long put her hair up. The gift Bai Yi Yue brought today for Murong Qi Qi is a hundred-year-old purple ginseng. A hundred-year-old ginseng is rare. A purple ginseng is even rarer.
Women in the ancient times have different hairstyles ording to their age/ married state.
¡°Thank you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi has a very good impression of Bai Yi Yue. That why she gave Bai Yi Yue a ¡®Begonia¡¯s spring sleep¡¯ on her ceremony as a gift.
¡°Princess is marrying far away. In the future if you have the need, you can take my big brother¡¯s ring to Bai family¡¯s store. As long as we are able to do it, we will definitely help princess!¡±
The ring Bai Yi Yue was talking about is that ck jade ring Bai Mu Fei gambled on Murong Qi Qi on that night they were admiring the moon. Now Bai Yi Yue is saying this, it must also be Bai Mu Fei¡¯s meaning. This sibling¡¯s personality is not bad. Originally, Murong Qi Qi wanted to keep this ck jade ring for future use.
¡°Yi Yue, I don¡¯t know how to express my thanks to you two!
¡°Princess living happily in Bei Zhou is the way to thank us!¡±
Bai Yi Yue smiled sweetly: ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. The people outside are getting impatient. Everyone came for the ceremony! Let¡¯s go!¡±
The sign of bing an adult is binding the hair together. Today, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s long hair was neatlybed. Ity down her back till her ankle.
Usually, binding the hair together is done by the mother or the father. However, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s birth mother Li Qiu Shui has entered the temple for fifteen years already. Although Murong Tai has sent someone to the temple to invite her, but till now she hasn¡¯t appeared.
Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t have the slightest impression of this mother. It¡¯s said that not long after she was born, Li Qiu Shui has entered the temple. She threw the Murong Qi Qi who was crying pitifully for food at Murong Tai and has nevere out of the temple again.
All these years, Murong Tai believed that the reason Li Qiu Shui went into the temple was because of Murong Qi Qi. He felt that it¡¯s because of Murong Qi Qi that he lost his beloved wife. So he let others bully Murong Qi Qi and he watched as a cold spectator. He was indifferent to her and paid no attention to her.
In fact, Murong Tai is very clear about the real reason. That woman in temple has broken the will to be on earth because the man she loved has died. But his heart couldn¡¯t take this, so he put all the me on Murong Qi Qi.
It¡¯s just that the child is innocent......
¡°Prime minister, the auspicious time has arrived.¡± The ceremonial official reminded Murong Tai.
¡°Ai......,¡± Murong Tai sighed.
Sure enough, she still doesn¡¯t want toe out, doesn¡¯t want to see him. Even at their child¡¯s bing an adult ceremony, she as a mother still refused toe at the scene. But since this is the case, that year, why did she, while heavily pregnant rushed to Yangdang Mountain to tell him about Bei Zhou¡¯s military insight and let that god like man be defeated at his hands?!
Presumably, she also didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xie will die, didn¡¯t expect that the oue would be like that......if she had known that Feng Xie will lose the battle, and will take his life for the loss, presumable she wouldn¡¯t have helped him. And he, Murong Tai will also not be famous because of what happened at Yangdang Mountain and be a country¡¯s prime minister overnight.
In the end, is it fate ying with people or is it people¡¯s heart ying with people? Shui er, you only remember Feng Xie¡¯s valiant and heroism on the horse. Have you ever remembered that year in the Peach Grove when you tempted my eyes and caused my heart to be in disorder......?
¡°Let me!¡±
Murong Tai took theb and walked to Murong Qi Qi.
It was so many years, this is the first time Murong Tai looked at this daughter so carefully. She didn¡¯t inherit her parent¡¯s good genes. This face put in Murong family is simply too ordinary, toomon. However, Murong Tai found out today that this third daughter has a pair of eyes that are like stars. So bright, so dazzling, stealing away all the nces.
With eyes so touching, how can she be an ordinary girl?! Seeing her performance at the pce feast, she is not a ¡®rubbish¡¯ ah! Thinking of the recent events where Murong Qi Qi escaped, Murong Tai sighed with deep regret.
Although this daughter didn¡¯t inherit his and Shui er¡¯s looks, but she is their child. How could she be bad?!
¡°You¡¯ve grown up......¡±
Murong Tai is full of regret at the moment. In his heart there is also a rising wave of guilt.
Time flew fast. That baby who cried in his arm has now grown into a graceful girl and would marry to be a mother of another. Ignoring this daughter for so many years; now facing this adult version, Murong Tai didn¡¯t know what to say.
Towards Murong Tai this father, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any special feelings. She is not the original owner of this body, how can she generate feelings between a father and a daughter?! Besides, this person as a father did so many things that was cold and ruthless. Even though, now, in his eyes shone fatherly love and there are those guilty feelings, but the person he should repent to, is dead. She is just an extra-terrestrial guest.
¡°Let me!¡±
Just as Murong Tai¡¯sb was about to touch Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thick ck hair, a gorgeous voice rang into the people¡¯s ears.
¡®Kuang......¡¯
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, theb in Murong Tai¡¯s hand fell onto the ground.
¡°Shui er, is it you?¡±
Murong Tai didn¡¯t dare to turn around. He is afraid that if he turned all will be a dream. That cruel woman is so unfeeling. No matter how he cried, how he promised, she didn¡¯t turn back. Without fondness, she only left him a cold back, making him wait for fifteen years. Now, did she reallye?
¡°Husband......¡±
How long has he not heard this appetion? Murong Tai couldn¡¯t remember anymore...... it seemed like it was on their wedding night. They were a perfect match. Very romantically, they nestled by the window. But is this ¡®husband¡¯ really as sincere as she made it sound? Does she really see him as a husband?
¡°Husband, let meb Qi Qi¡¯s hair!¡±
A woman in light coloured clothes appeared in front of Murong Tai. She bent down and picked up heb from the ground.
¡°Shui er, it¡¯s really you!¡±
Only until after he saw the real person, did Murong Tai believe his eyes. Fifteen years, he has be fat, out of shape and old. He is no longer handsome. But she is still so beautiful and didn¡¯t have a trace of bing old.
Soft white skin, smooth as jade forehead, pretty nose, smiling eyes......time didn¡¯t leave any marks on her body. She is still the same as that year and didn¡¯t change.
¡°Husband, long time no see.¡±
Li Qiu Shui smiled slowly. So quiet, high and generous as the winter fairy. Her gestures are like the style of the great families.
¡°Long......long time no see.¡±
Li Qiu Shui appearance made the crowd very surprised. Especially the younger generation of the great families. They know from their parents that the wife of the prime minister went into the temple, but they have never seen this wife of the prime minister, Li family¡¯s eldest miss.
¡°Why did shee?¡±
Liu Yan Zhi wrung her handkerchief. She red full of hate at Li Qiu Shui¡¯s back. Although she is a gift Li Qiu Shui gave Murong Tai and because of this she enjoyed a decade of glory, but she isn¡¯t grateful towards Li Qiu Shui!
This woman stayed at the temple for fifteen years. Why didn¡¯t she continue stay there? Why did she have toe out?! Those pair of Murong Tai¡¯s eyes which is full of adoration, made Liu Yan Zhi furious. He really missed this bitch. No wonder every time they did that thing, while moving he will embrace Liu Yan Zhi and shout ¡°Shui er¡± ......
Liu Yan Zhi is Murong Qing Lian and Murong Jun¡¯s mother
Li Qiu Shui looked at Murong Qi. Her expression is veryplicated. After a long time, did she say: ¡°Qi Qi is already so big......¡±
¡°Mother......¡±
Finally, she saw this body¡¯s biological mother. The small question mark which stayed in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart for so many days turned into doubt. She doesn¡¯t look like Li Qiu Shui. They look nothing alike!
Chapter 61 Feng Cang’s vinegar, everywhere (1)
Chapter 61 Feng Cang¡¯s vinegar, everywhere (1)
Not like Murong Tai, also not like Li Qiu Shui! Then who does she resemble? What more secrets are hidden inside this body? Could it be that she inherited from the previous generation and looked like her grandparents or maternal grandparents? There are such cases, but her situation is very rare.
¡°Qi Qi, can mother bind your hair together?¡±
Li Qiu Shui doesn¡¯t know Murong Qi Qi¡¯s inner thoughts. She only gently asked.
¡°Good!¡±
Li Qiu Shui came to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s back and carefullybed her hair. Two times, three times......Li Qiu Shui¡¯s tears fell down and fell onto Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ck hair and disappeared in the waves of that ck hair.
¡°Shui er1, Qi Qi has grown up. We need to be happy! We need to be happy!¡±
Seeing his wife¡¯s excitement, Murong Tai quickly and softlyforted at her side.
¡°I know. I didn¡¯t expect that time would go by so fast. It¡¯s been sixteen years......¡±
After Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair was bound together, Li Qiu Shui took out a jade hairpin and put it in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair.
¡°The ceremony has concluded......¡±
Hearing the ceremonial official¡¯s voice, Murong Qi Qi stood up. Apuse rang to celebrate her bing an adult. Binding the hair let her be an ¡®adult¡¯ in this world.
At night, inside her room, Murong Qi Qi counted the gifts she received this time. She didn¡¯t expect that in this ¡®bing an adult¡¯ ceremony, she would receive five hairpins.
The green jade hairpin was from Li Yun Qing. The blue fluorite hairpin was from Shangguan Wu Ji. Long Jing Tian gave a red coral hairpin. The hairpin Ming Yue Cheng sent was made from amethyst. The hairpins sent by those four, although they¡¯re not from Tong Bao Zhai, but they were still valuable.
Only Feng Cang sent an ordinary silver hairpin.
¡°Miss, wangye2 is usually so generous. Why did wangye gift such an ordinary gift on miss¡¯s ceremony of bing an adult?¡±
Su Mei took the silver hairpin, looked at it left and right, but didn¡¯t see anything out of the ordinary. She only knew that this hairpin was somewhat old because the silver color was not as bright anymore and looked somewhat dull.
¡°This hairpin should have special significance! If I¡¯m not mistaken, this hairpin must belong to his mother princess Ming Yue.¡±
¡°Qing Qing knows me well!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice just fell, when the door was pushed open by someone. Feng Cang appeared at the door.
¡°Wangye, howe you are here?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was very surprised. It¡¯s a dark and stormy night. Feng Cang appearing at Cui Zhu yuan, he surely didn¡¯te in from the main entrance. Could it be......
¡°Qing Qing, you guessed it. Benwang3 came in by jumping over the wall.¡±
Feng Cang openly entered Murong Qi Qi¡¯sdy chamber. He carefully looked around once.
¡°Qing Qing¡¯sdy chamber doesn¡¯t have any of those vulgar powder fragrances. This is great. This is great!¡±
Feng Cang hadn¡¯t suddenly appeared at night to chit-chat. Murong Qi Qi calctedly allowed Su Mei to go make tea and let Su Yue go get dessert. She went to sit opposite Feng Cang.
¡°Wangye, you didn¡¯t answer my question yet? Why did youe here sote?¡±
¡°I missed you......,¡± Feng Cang said slowly, making Su Mei almost spill the tea she was pouring.
¡°Hehe......,¡± Murong Qi Qi embarrassinglyughed twice. Weren¡¯t ancient people supposed to be reserved? Why was this Nan Lin wang an exception? They weren¡¯t even married yet, but he had already raided herdy chamber. If people knew about this, their spit, full of etiquettes, would be enough to drown people. Looks like he doesn¡¯t care a bit.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes turned a deeper color. The wordsing out of his mouth had a slight grievance: ¡°It seems that Qing Qing didn¡¯t even miss me a bit! Fancy that I think about you day and night and have countless of sleepless nights.......¡±
¡°Hai, hai!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yuepletely copsed. The two small faces became so red. Howe the future guye4 talks so bold? They heard that the folk of Bei Zhou were simple. Could it be that all the people over there confess like this? Then wouldn¡¯t people die from shyness?
¡°You guys go out first!¡±
Murong Qi Qi waved her hand. Su Mei and Su Yue received the order and immediately left like the wind, as if there¡¯s some gue in the room.
¡°Qing Qing¡¯s heart still has me, so you deliberately sent them away.¡±
Feng Cang came smilingly to Murong Qi Qi and pulled out the white jade hairpin from her hair.
¡°Today was Qing Qing¡¯s ¡®bing an adult¡¯ ceremony. I only wanted toe and bind Qing Qing¡¯s hair.¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to reject, inside Feng Cang¡¯s hand, there¡¯s ab. He gentlybed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair. His skill was adept. It doesn¡¯t seem like it¡¯s the first time he did this. Could it be that he was like this to another person?
¡°When I was young, I often saw fatherb mother¡¯s hair. Then I was puzzled. Mother has so many maids, why should father do it?¡±
¡°I searched for an opportunity and asked the question in my heart. I still remember that after mother heard it, her face became red and shut father and I outside the door. Father lifted me up and told me: ¡°When you grow up and have someone you love; you will be able to experience the fun in it.¡±¡±
Feng Cang spoke slowly, Murong Qi Qi listened quietly. For a time, the room was quiet and it was unusually harmonious. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair is thick. It¡¯s like silk and satin. Ity quietly in Feng Cang¡¯s hands and enjoyed his gentleness.
¡°Wangye must surely have someone you love very much. That¡¯s why you are so skilful.¡±
Murong Qi Qi lowered her head. Her hands were hidden in her sleeves.
Could it be that he said those words to make her feel guilty? He had someone he loves and wanted tob hair for his loved one, that¡¯s why he told her in such a subtle way that she should not interfere with them?
¡°Wangye, rest assured! Although I¡¯m a woman, I know that after marriage, I must obey the husband. Even though I will upy the position of wangfei5, it¡¯s just for the alliance of the two countries. When people gradually forget about this, I¡¯ll give the position of wangfei to the woman wangye loves and support you!¡±
¡®Ka......¡±
Listening till here, theb in Feng Cang¡¯s hand folded in half because of his strength.
What did she say? Want to support him and his sweetheart? She thinks that he is disloyal and that another woman lives in his heart? Support? Those words came out like a breeze, so carefree. What is this little woman¡¯s mind thinking? Or is it that she has a sweetheart and is very anxious to leave him?
¡°Does Qing Qing really think like that?¡±
Feng Cang lowered his head, tilted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chin and gazed into her eyes. Those beautiful eyes were cid without jealousy, without anger and also without any love.
She really didn¡¯t have any slightest feeling for him, ah! Feng Cang¡¯s eyes became injured. His heart ached. It turned out that unrequited love is such a feeling. It¡¯s like watching safflower on a tree. Wanted to pick it, but no matter what, he can¡¯t reach it.
Prior to knowing her, he didn¡¯t know what love is. After knowing her, he knows what love is, but he also tasted the bitterness of love.
¡°If me quitting helps the lovers be husband and wife, then of course I¡¯ll be supportive!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s body is filled with a touch of sadness, making Murong Qi Qi somewhat puzzled.
It seems that he must love that woman very much, that¡¯s why his eyes are filled with such sadness. So it turned out that people who were in such high positions also have their distress and difficulties. It¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t know who this woman is. Why couldn¡¯t they be together? It seems that she really has be a big light bulb.
Light bulb: third person in a rtionship
The two thoughts, one left, one right. It¡¯s like a painting, wanting to go left, wanting to go right.
¡°Ah......¡±
Feng Cang let her chin go. He turned and saw the four hairpins on the table. Immediately, jealousy spread.
No wonder she wants to support him! In fact, it¡¯s letting him support her! Doesn¡¯t she know the meaning behind receiving a hairpin on a ¡®bing an adult¡¯ ceremony? Not only did she ept a hairpin from a man, but epted four at the same time! It seems that his little wangfei is very popr! Could it be that among them is her sweetheart? Then what should he do?
¡°Wangye, wangye......¡±
Seeing Feng Cang stare at those hairpins on the table, Murong Qi Qi is somewhat puzzled. Did these hairpins provoke him? Why are his eyes like that?
Murong Qi Qi quickly put them away in her jewellery box. Her move made Feng Cang suspect even more.
¡°Qing Qing, is the hairpin I sent not good enough? Why do you still ept from other people?¡±
Feng Cang immediately put on a pitiful expression. He leaned towards Murong Qi Qi. His eyes kept staring at the jewellery box Murong Qi Qi was guarding.
Before going to Bei Zhou, the two weren¡¯t allowed to meet. That¡¯s why Feng Cang tolerated until now and only today did he secretlye over. He didn¡¯t expect that his little wangfei received so many hairpins.
Four! Isn¡¯t that the same as saying that he has four rivals? Who is the one? He must let Nn Xin find out!
Those people actually dare to put ideas on his little wangfei, did they eat the guts of a leopard? This wangfei is someone he set his eyes on. She is his! He must p those flies and mosquitoes to death!
¡°The hairpin wangye sent is very good, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have epted it. As for these, they are gifts from friends. Naturally, I can¡¯t reject them.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s expression made Murong Qi Qi puzzled. He is not poor, ah. Why does he covet her hairpins so much? These hairpins can¡¯t be sold for much gold. Why is the way he looks at them the same as how hungry people looked at bread?
¡°Qing Qing, gift these hairpins to me, alright? I¡¯ll exchange them with Tong Bao Zhao¡¯s hairpins. No matter what you take fancy on, I¡¯ll buy it for you!¡±
Tong Bao Zhao¡¯s jewellery is indeed a tempting condition. If Murong Qi Qi was a normal girl, she will definitely be swayed. But she¡¯s the boss behind the scenes of Tong Bao Zhai. Those jewelleries are personally designed by her. So the temptation Feng Cang threw out, absolutely didn¡¯t have any affect.
¡°Wangye, how can gifts from friends be exchanged? Then wouldn¡¯t that be the same as betraying a friend¡¯s heart?!¡±
Feng Cang almost ¡®fainted¡¯. His wangfei is really ¡®stubborn¡¯. Why couldn¡¯t she be a bit greedier, have lesser thoughts and be less sensitive like other women?
But then again, if Murong Qi Qi was also as infatuated, as without brains and short-sighted, he wouldn¡¯t have set his eyes on her.
It¡¯s just that now the most critical question is how to cheat those four hairpins that had be thorns in his eyes from his little wangfei! When he gets them, he must smash those hairpins into powders, let people pack them and send them back to their owners. Humph! How can they covet his, Feng Cang¡¯s wangfei?!
Just as Feng Cang was racking his brains about how to cheat those hairpins from Murong Qi Qi, from outside came Su Mei¡¯s voice: ¡°Mistress!¡±
¡°Where is miss?¡±
¡°Miss is in the room. Please let this ve go announce!¡±
It turned out that Li Qiu Shui hade over. For Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t stay any longer. Before leaving, Feng Cang red fiercely at the jewellery box in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands. Then he jumped out of the window.
This man is really strange......Seeing that figure in white disappear, Murong Qi Qi is even more puzzled. Could it be that beside hand fetish, he also has a fetish for things? He likes to collect hairpins?
¡°Miss, mistress hase!¡±
Su Mei opened the curtain and didn¡¯t see Feng Cang. Her heart was now more at ease.
Although this person was not her mother, but she had given birth to this body. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s etiquettes were still in ce: ¡°Mother, sit down!¡±
¡°Take a break, let mother look at you!¡±
Li Qiu Shui pulled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands and let Murong Qi Qi sit beside her. She looked at her affectionately.
Being stared at by a woman, Murong Qi Qi is somewhat ufortable. Don¡¯t know if it¡¯s her feelings who has a problem, but she felt that the Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes has someplicated feelings. It¡¯s like she¡¯s looking at her, but also like she¡¯s looking at another person through her.
¡°Qi Qi, in front of mother, do you still need to disguise? Quickly take off the Water Moon Mirror. Let mother take a look at your face!¡±
Water Moon Mirror! Li Qiu Shui actually knew that she¡¯s wearing the Water Moon Mirror? Then this means that what she guessed was right. She might not be Murong Tai¡¯s biological daughter after all. Li Qiu Shui definitely knows the truth!
With these questions, Murong Qi Qi slowly removed the clear like water mask, exposing her original appearance.
¡°Alike, really alike.......,¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, Li Qiu Shui couldn¡¯t help but utter three words. The way she¡¯s looking at her became more excited.
¡°Mother, who do I look like?¡±
Murong Qi Qi pretended to be na?ve and curiously asked Li Qiu Shui.
¡°Like......,¡± sensing her own diposure, Li Qiu Shui quickly coughed once. ¡°I mean; you look like......your father!¡±
¡°Mother, who is the father you¡¯re talking about?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t let it go and continued to ask.
¡°Is my father not Murong Tai?¡±
¡°He?¡±
After hearing Murong Qi Qi mention Murong Tai, Li Qiu Shui humphed. The contempt in her eyes was apparent. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi saying that would make her self-worth be lesser.
It seemed that she really isn¡¯t Murong Tai¡¯s daughter. It¡¯s just that who¡¯s the ¡®father¡¯ that Li Qiu Shui mentioned. Could it be that Li Qiu Shui betrayed Murong Tai in the past? She¡¯s the daughter Li Qiu Shui had with another man?
¡°Mother, who is my biological father?¡±
Murong Qi Qi quietly looked at Li Qiu Shui, this woman who is like a mystery.
She is Li n¡¯s eldest miss. She is of noble descent. That year, Li Qiu Shui went against her parents¡¯ wishes and married the poor schr Murong Tai. It was infamous and once caused a sensation. With her help, not only did Murong Tai became the zhuangyuan, but his career also went very smoothly......
Zhuangyuan: the top ranked schr at a literary exam
It¡¯s just that, sixteen years ago, after giving birth to Murong Qi Qi, she suddenly went into the temple and never came out again. No one knew why she entered the temple at a time when Murong Tai was famous throughout the world.
Many people thought that it¡¯s because Murong Tai took a concubine and betrayed their original oath of being one life, one pair of people. So Li Qiu Shui was hurt and broke the love......
There were also people who said that she got advice from a priest that she must enter the temple for Murong Tai¡¯s road to be smooth. For the man she loves, in the end, Li Qiu Shui entered the temple. And therefore, Murong Tai also really climbed up high......
Others say that Li Qiu Shui is a proud and arrogant person. After she gave birth to Murong Qi Qi, she hurt her body and wouldn¡¯t be able to give birth anymore. She couldn¡¯t ept this fact and couldn¡¯t ept the fact that a son of a concubine would inherit Murong fu6, that¡¯s why she broke her love and feelings......
In short, Murong Qi Qi heard all kinds of rumors, but no one knew which was true or which was false aside from this person in front of her.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s straightforwardness made Li Qiu Shui panic: ¡°I can¡¯t say. Qi Qi, don¡¯t force me!¡±
Facing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s clean and thorough eyes, Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes dodged.
¡°You only need to know that Murong Tai is not your biological father!¡±
Li Qiu Shui¡¯s expression made Murong Qi Qi very sceptical. Why did she see hate from Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes?
Although it was fleeting, but she was still sensitive enough to capture that kind of intense hate. Who does she hate? Does she hate Murong Tai? That¡¯s why she betrayed him? Since she hates Murong Tai, then why did she marry him in spite of her family¡¯s wishes? What kind of secret is exactly hidden here?
¡°Qi Qi, mother was not good before. I ignored you and let you suffer many grievances. It¡¯s mother who is sorry!¡±
Li Qiu Shui held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, full of love. In her eyes, there¡¯s tears. An expression full of regret and also the heartache towards this daughter.
¡°Mother is sorry towards you!¡±
Li Qiu Shui being like this suddenly made Murong Qi Qi startled. Could it be that she really had her difficulties?
Since that¡¯s the case, she won¡¯t ask anymore. After all, who doesn¡¯t have an unspeakable secret? Besides, having an affair behind her husband is not a glorious thing for Li Qiu Shui. If she and that person truly love each other, then what wrong did she have?! This page should be turned over.......
Towards women, especially women in tears, Murong Qi Qi has no way out. Although this person is not her birth mother, but in the end, she gave life to this body. Although she can¡¯t show filial piety like a daughter towards a mother, but softly appeasing, Murong Qi Qi can still do that.
¡°The one mother should be sorry to is not only me. Could it be that mother forgot big sister who is inside the pce? A few days ago, big sister had a miscarriage. Her mood is very bad. If mother goes and visits her, maybe she will feel much better.¡±
¡°She?¡±
Byparison, after mentioning Murong Xue Lian, Li Qiu Shui¡¯s voice turned a lot more indifferent. There¡¯s no sense of intimacy. It¡¯s a lot more alienated. So much that her voice even revealed a feeling of shame.
In the end, howplicated is this family, ah?!
Only now did Murong Qi Qi became aware of this problem. She suddenly remembered the information Su Yue brought back in respect to Murong Xue Lian¡¯s birth. She was born after Li Qiu Shui and Murong Tai had been married for eight months. Murong fu told outsiders that mistress had a premature birth......
Now seeing Li Qiu Shui full of resentment, could it be that Murong Xue Lian wasn¡¯t premature, but she was actually born after the full term? Could it be that Li Qiu Shu had gotten pregnant before marriage? If it¡¯s like that, then Li Qiu Shui got married because of an unnned pregnancy. Then could it be that Murong Tai had forced himself on Li Qiu Shui? She, because of her pregnancy, was forced to marry Murong Tai?
No wonder, no wonder when Li Qiu Shui mentioned Murong Tai and Murong Xue Lian, in her eyes, there¡¯s no love.
Chapter 62 Feng Cang’s vinegar, everywhere (2)
Chapter 62 Feng Cang¡¯s vinegar, everywhere (2)
Although during the day, as Li Qiu Shui was binding the hair for Murong Qi Qi, she used ¡®husband¡¯ to address Murong Tai, but Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t detect any trace of feelings in her voice. No wonder it was like that......
Straightening out the rtionships till here, Murong Qi Qi felt some sympathy towards Li Qiu Shui. Although she was born in a noble family, in the end, she was a weak woman and couldn¡¯t determine her own destiny. Then, could it be that she, Murong Qi Qi, was a revenge against Murong Tai, which is why she (LQS) had her with another?
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi suddenly felt that the original owner of this body is even more pitiful. The only reason Li Qiu Shui gave birth to her was for revenge......could there be such extreme feelings in human nature?
¡°Qi Qi doesn¡¯t need to worry about your eldest sister. She¡¯s an adult and knows how to take care of herself. You are marrying far away to Bei Zhou. It¡¯s remote and it¡¯s another country. The one mother is now most worried about is you!¡±
Li Qiu Shui held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands, full of concerns.
¡°Is Feng Cang good to you? Bing another¡¯s wife will not be as good as at home. Although he doesn¡¯t have parents and you don¡¯t have parents-inw, but he is from the imperial family. The imperial etiquette is veryplicated and there are also many rules. The rtionship in the imperial family is also veryplex. You must deal with them carefully, ah!¡±
At this time, Li Qiu Shui was like an ordinary mother and was carefully telling the daughter who¡¯s about to be married how to be a good wife. The night is quiet; only Li Qiu Shui¡¯s voice could be heard telling her over and over again to be careful.
¡°The most important thing is giving birth to his heir. We women need to rely on men our whole lives. At home, obey father; after marrying, obey husband and when the husband dies, obey son. Father can¡¯t apany you till you¡¯re old. If your husband has a new woman, then he is unreliable. The only one you can rely on is your son.¡±
¡°When you marry, you be wangfei1. Giving birth to the shizi2 to inherit the position of wangye3 is the top priority. Then, even if Feng Cang has a new person in the future, your son is the shizi. No one will dare to be too irreverent towards you. And there also wouldn¡¯t be anyone who would dare to steal your position!¡±
Murong Qi Qi understood what Li Qiu Shui was saying. It¡¯s all about the ways the women in this world used to survive. But she isn¡¯t from this world, so naturally she will use other ways. However, she couldn¡¯t reject Li Qiu Shui¡¯s good intentions directly. She can only patiently listen to Li Qiu Shui.
By the time Li Qiu Shui¡¯s ¡®warnings¡¯ ended, it was already midnight. Only when Murong Qi Qi yawned and almost fell asleep, did Li Qiu Shui stop.
¡°In short, the most important thing is to quickly give birth to a child, preferably a boy! Take advantage of the fact that you are young, and give birth to as many as you can!¡±
¡°Yes! Daughter will remember mother¡¯s teaching.¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded. She seemed really sleepy. Li Qiu Shui didn¡¯t think she had taught enough, but she couldn¡¯t say anything more. She just repeated: ¡°Need to give birth to a child.¡±
After saying that, Li Qiu Shui left.
After Li Qiu Shui left, the sleepiness in Murong Qi Qi disappeared. Her eyes turned astute and deep.
Li Qiu Shui visiting at night and talking so much, in the end, what does she mean? If Li Qiu Shui was really concerned about her, then why in the past sixteen years did she turn a blind eye towards this daughter? Now, she suddenly came and said so many seemingly concerned words, but the motivation couldn¡¯t help but make people be on their guard.
¡°Miss, should it be investigated?¡±
Su Yue sensed the strangeness in Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Let Tie Xue investigate all the things that happened fifteen years ago at the battle at Yangdang Mountain. I also want all information from the moment of Li Qiu Shui¡¯s birth till now. The moreprehensive, the better.¡±
Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t know if she¡¯s being too suspicious or not. Although whenever Li Qiu Shui mentioned Murong Tai and Murong Xue Lian, her voice had a coldness that people couldn¡¯t ignore; although all those warnings she told were indeed something a mother would say, but she didn¡¯t feel any ¡®love¡¯ of a mother towards a daughter from Li Qiu Shui.
If she really feels as guilty as she imed, why wasn¡¯t there the slightest feeling of guilt in her eyes and words? The words she said also seemed like an dialogue she said many times before. It¡¯s not said from her feelings. What hidden secrets are in here?
Recently, in Xi Qi¡¯s country Xi Liang, the most talked topic was princess Zhao Yang Murong Qi Qi. As the day of her leaving drew closer, the topic became livelier.
Nan Lin wang personallying to Xi Qi to get wangfei illustrated the importance Bei Zhou put on this marriage alliance. Plus, the recent rumors about how Feng Cang favours Murong Qi Qi, made themoners have a lot more to gossip about.
However, the most widely gossiped was still whether or not Murong Qi Qi would survive the wedding night.
Everybody knew about the matter of Nan Lin wang¡¯s eight previous wives dying on the wedding night. Many people sympathized with Murong Qi Qi from the bottom of their hearts. Marrying so far away, and also to the demon wang. The tragic fate of this girl seemed destined a long time ago.
No matter how brilliant her performance was at the pce feast, her fate was still tragic. Really a pity......
Finally, it¡¯s the day to marry far away.
The sun is shining; the sky is cloudless.
Early in the morning, Li Qiu Shui already came to Cui Zhu yuan4 and gave Murong Qi Qi a red wedding dress with thick gold threads, making a dazzling golden scenery.
¡°This is what your mother sewed these past few nights for you.¡±
Murong Tai stood at Li Qiu Shui¡¯s side. Seeing Li Qiu Shui¡¯s red eyes, he exined to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Thanks mother!¡±
Li Qiu Shui let Su Mei take the wedding dress away.
¡°Qi Qi, when you marry, you must wear the wedding dress mother made for you! Take it as though mother is personally looking at daughter getting married!¡±
Li Qiu Shui grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°Mother sewed ¡®bless¡¯ on the wedding dress. It¡¯ll certainly make you full of blessing and let you be safe!¡±
Safely passing the wedding night? Murong Qi Qi was thinking in her heart. She continued to give thanks: ¡°Mother, I know. I¡¯ll certainly wear the wedding dress you made for me.¡±
With Murong Qi Qi¡¯s promise, Li Qiu Shui felt a bit more reassured and watched Su Mei put the wedding dress in a box.
This time, since Murong Qi Qi was marrying far away, aside from the dowry from the imperial family, Murong fu5 also prepared some dowry for Murong Qi Qi.
The reason why Murong Tai was so generous had some hint of wanting topensate Murong Qi Qi and also some idea of wanting to get into Li Qiu Shui¡¯s good shoes. After all, Li Qiu Shui still cared about the child. If there wasn¡¯t the matter of Murong Qi Qi marrying far away, he didn¡¯t know when he would have been able to see Li Qiu Shui again.
So this time, Murong Tai took out one hundred and twenty boxes of dowry which filled Cui Zhu yuan. This matter almost angered Liu Yan Zhi and her daughter to death. Especially Murong Qing Lian. The hatred she now has for Murong Qi Qi went deep into her bones.
Originally, Murong Xin Lian was ruined. Thus, no one would be fighting with her anymore in this house. Everything in this house would be hers, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s. See what¡¯s happening now. A hundred and twenty boxes, ah! All of these were her Murong Qing Lian¡¯s dowry, ah!
Because of the matter of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dowry, Liu Yan Zhi fought once with Murong Tai. In the end, only after Murong Tai gave her one p, did she quiet down.
And this one p also made Liu Yan Zhi thoroughly understand that she¡¯s just a toy to Murong Tai. In his heart, there¡¯s only Li Qiu Shui.
¡°Qi Qi, these are daddy¡¯s mind......¡±
Murong Tai took out a stack of money and gave them to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Daddy¡¯s ability has its limit and can¡¯t help you much. This money is for you. Don¡¯t be too much of a saver and let yourself suffer......¡±
¡°Thanks daddy!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Tai to finish talking, Murong Qi Qi smilingly took over the money. Before it was a hundred and twenty boxes, now it¡¯s a thick stack of money, making the eyes of the silent Liu Yan Zhi and her daughter be redder.
¡°Daddy, you are biased!¡±
Murong Qing Lian immediately shouted.
¡°Biased?¡±
Knowing that the other party got the so-called ¡®jealous, envy, hate¡¯ disease, Murong Qi Qi gave the money to Su Yue to let her put it away. She turned to look smilingly at Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Bengong6 is princess Zhao Yang, personally bestowed by his majesty, the future Nan Lin wangfei and also Murong fu¡¯s legitimate daughter. You are only a small illegitimate daughter, but you are yelling here at bengong. What is the hierarchy? What is seniority? Could it be that you don¡¯t know? Or is it that concubine Liu really thinks that she¡¯s the female master of Murong fu and can hide the sky with one hand? And you also see yourself as a legitimate daughter?¡±
Hide the sky with one hand: hide the truth from the masses
Every word from Murong Qi Qi stabbed and stroked Murong Tai¡¯s heart.
Li Qiu Shui is still here, and Murong Qing Lian is treating Murong Qi Qi like this, could it be that it¡¯s instigated by Liu Yan Zhi? Seeing something like this, what will Li Qiu Shui think? If she went into the temple again because of anger, then how much longer would he need to wait?
Immediately, Murong Tai trashed Murong Qing Lian till she saw stars in her eyes: ¡°Darn thing! You dare to be disrespectful at princess! Still not going away?!¡±
¡°Daddy, you hit me?¡±
Murong Qing Lian looked at Murong Tai, full of disbelief.
Need to know that because Murong Qing Lian¡¯s physique was fit for martial arts and because she¡¯s the most outstanding in Murong fu, Murong Tai held her in the palm of his hands. Not to mention a p in the face, not even a strand of her hair has he touched.
But today, Murong Tai pped her in front of so many people because of Murong Qi Qi, this rubbish! How can Murong Qing Lian, who likes to have face and act arrogant, ept?!
¡°I hate you all!¡±
Murong Qing Lian fiercely stomped away and left Cui Zhu yuan with red eyes.
¡°Qing er7!¡±
Liu Yan Zhi looked at Murong Tai with resentment and then chased after Murong Qing Lian.
Murong Jun, who was standing at one side, didn¡¯t say a word. He knew Murong Qi Qi¡¯s method very well. He only hoped that his mother and sister could be a bit more on their guard and don¡¯t provoke Murong Qi Qi.
The people from Bei Zhou put Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dowry into the carriage.
¡°Princess, we need to leave!¡±
Feng Yu came to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side.
¡°I know!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded.
¡°Father, mother, I¡¯m leaving!¡±
She didn¡¯t bow, Murong Qi Qi only bent a bit. She is a princess now. Her status is now different. After saying goodbye to Murong Tai and Li Qiu Shui, Murong Qi Qi walked out of Cui Zhu yuan.
Outside of xiangfu8, there¡¯s a sea of people. A lot of people came to watch. More people spected that because she had to marry to demon wang, princess Zhao Yang would be crying really hard right now!
When Murong Qi Qi with a face like the sun came out of Cui Zhu yuan, the people¡¯s eyes shed. Her face didn¡¯t have any traces of tears. Her eyes also didn¡¯t show any signs that she had cried. And that smile was bright like spring flowers of April. It didn¡¯t seem false. Generous and frank attitude, she¡¯s indeed a legitimate daughter of xiangfu!
She turned around once more to look at the ce this body had lived in for many years, and Murong Qi Qi took a deep breath. From now on, she will leave here to start a new journey......
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Murong Qi Qi, with the help of Su Yue, entered the carriage.
¡°Go!¡±
A grandiose crowd of servants headed towards the gate to meet with Feng Cang¡¯s team. Beneath the tower, there were many onlookers. Longze Yu and Shangguan Fei Yan had both personally came to the gate to send Feng Cang off.
Longze Jing Tian stood next to Longze Yu. With pinched lips, he looked at Murong Qi Qi who was full of radiance. In his heart, he has an unspeakable taste. He had already send the messenger out. That person will surely coborate with him. As long as he can block their marriage, he will still have a chance! This marriage may not bepleted! And she may not belong to Feng Cang!
Since the pce banquet, Longze Jing Tian has been reflecting. Why should he be so foolish to hang onto Du Xian Er and because of this obsession, miss Murong Qi Qi?
Du Xian Er is indeed beautiful, but he doesn¡¯t need a rose with thorns at his side. And Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rxed and limitless performance at the pce banquet, was more suitable to be his wangfei or even a country¡¯s empress. He is, for sure, the future emperor of Xi Qi. And at his side, he needs a woman from noble birth who¡¯s smart and generous.
The carriage headed north.
¡°Wait!¡±
When Xi Liang capital disappeared behind the carriage, a man on a horse hurried to catch up with them.
¡°Wait!¡±
The man stopped before Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage. Putting aside the curtain, Murong Qi Qi saw Ming Yue Cheng.
At this time, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hair were loose on his forehead, blocking his eyebrows. He was still wearing those purple clothes, revealing a bronzed chest. He was gasping for air. The wine gourd at his waist was shaking badly. It seemed that he had really hurried to catch up.
¡°That day at theke, thanking princess for pointing out. Today, princess is traveling to far away, I don¡¯t have much to give. This wine gourd followed me for ten years. I gift this wine gourd to you as a memory!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng passed the wine gourd to Murong Qi Qi. His eyes fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face as if he wanted to imprint her into his life.
¡°I¡¯ll leave the position of empress at Nan Feng for you. If he betrays you, let somebody send a message and I¡¯lle pick you up!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to answer, Ming Yue Cheng rode the horse and drifted away. As quickly as he came, he left.
¡°Miss, what did Nan Feng¡¯s crown prince say?¡±
Su Mei frowned. Just now, the wind was blowing too hard and Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s voice was too low, even they, who were next to Murong Qi Qi, didn¡¯t hear what he said.
¡°He said to wish me good luck!¡±
Murong Qi Qi held the wine gourd and looked at the disappearing figure of Ming Yue Cheng. Left the position of empress for her? So does this mean that he¡¯s determined to go back and seize the throne? Then she can use this opportunity and earn a good bit of money in Nan Feng!
If a certain crown prince knew about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts, he would certainly cry. He had worked a lot of courage to propose this way, ah!
It would take two months to reach Bei Zhou¡¯s capital Yan Jing from Xi Qi¡¯s capital Xi Liang. Taking into ount the tournament of the four countries which happened every five years and would be held at the end of this year in Bei Zhou, Feng Cang must be present for it. So they hastened on the journey nonstop.
Longze Yu sent Shangguan Wu Ji to escort princess Zhao Yang. Because Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang haven¡¯t married yet, the two were not travelling in the same carriage. With the traditional social restraints, Feng Cang wanting to see Murong Qi Qi would be very difficult.
¡°Ji Xiang, send these grapes to little wangfei!¡±
Feng Cang tasted the grapes which had been given to him just now. The taste was sweet. Knowing that Murong Qi Qi loved to eat sweet fruits, he immediately let Ji Xiang send them over.
¡°Yes!¡±
Ji Xiang took the te and walked towards Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage.
Ever since the matter of the dress for the pce banquet, Feng Cang had ignored Ji Xiang for quite a while. Wherever he went, he would only bring Ru Yi, making Ji Xiang feel sad for a long time.
As a personal bodyguard being sent to do insignificant things, Ji Xiang still couldn¡¯t ept it. But she has always been loyal towards Feng Cang. Although there¡¯s a small lump between them, but she never showed it. Everything that Feng Cang ordered, she wouldplete them in all seriousness without cking.
¡°Wangfei, these are the grapes wangye sent!¡±
She came to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage and handed the grapes over to Su Mei.
¡°It so happened that miss just said that in this season, she can eat grapes! Didn¡¯t expect Ji Xiang sister would send them over. Thanks, ah!¡±
Su Mei enthusiastically took over the grapes and called Ji Xiang into the carriage.
¡°No, wangye¡¯s carriage still needs people. This ve will retire first!¡±
After Ji Xiang was gone, Su Mei looked at her back and said: ¡°Miss, seeing Ji Xiang going by the book, don¡¯t you think she¡¯s a lot like Tie Xue? If Tie Xue was here, I would think they were siblings! Ru Yi is so easy-going, why is Ji Xiang so serious? Weren¡¯t they born at the same time?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know this. Go ask their parents. Perhaps one of their personalities resembles the mother and the other resembles the father.¡±
Murong Qi Qi lowered her head, painted and wrote on a paper. Only when Su Mei washed the grapes and put them near her mouth, did she open her mouth and swallowed it.
¡°Really sweet!¡±
¡°Miss, it must be the heart that is sweet!¡±
Su Mei smiled and joked.
¡°If guye9 has something good, he always sends it to miss first. It seems that he cares very much about miss!¡±
¡°Talkative!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled and handed the paper to Su Yue.
¡°Send it to Fang Kui. This time, the tournament between the four countries is held in Bei Zhou. We can use this opportunity to let Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang reach another level!¡±
After hearing that the moment Murong Qi Qi opened and closed her mouth was about money, Su Yue smiled: ¡°Miss, before long we can ¡®whitewash¡¯, right?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded.
¡®Whitewashing¡¯ was something Murong Qi Qi invented after taking over Moyu.
Traditionally, Moyu had been ssified as an evil cult by the upright ns and was despised by them. Murong Qi Qi lived at Moyu for five years and has many feelings towards Moyu. From the moment Murong Qi Qi took Moyu over from her godfather, Murong Qi Qi has been thinking about how to let Moyu appear openly in the sun. This is what she called ¡®whitewashing¡¯.
As a top assassin organization known in the world, the people from Moyu, aside from killing, didn¡¯t know any other lines of business. From the day Murong Qi Qi became the head of Moyu, she had secretly vowed to give them a new life, a new beginning.
No one was born loving blood and love killing. A lot of people were forced to embark on this road. She had experienced the hardships and the thrills. The kind of despair in this dark life, she had deeply felt it. So she even more wants to bring a bright life to everyone.
That¡¯s why Murong Qi Qi uses the identity of Guang Hua gongzi10 to create many miracles from Tong Bai Zhai to Jue Se Fang.
Chapter 63 Wangfei eloped with a man (1)
Chapter 63 Wangfei eloped with a man (1)
The world only knew about Guang Hua gongzi¡¯s1 talent, but no one knew that he is the hear the wind and lose gall Du Xian Er. Also, no one knew that from a shopkeeper to a small servant of Tong Bao Zhao and Jue Se Fang, all were killers from Moyu.
Hear the wind and lose gall: terror-stricken
All of these were the prelude.
When Ming Yue Cheng gets the throne, she gets the ¡®special ess order¡¯. She will build the ¡®world¡¯s best ce of business¡¯ in You Yun¡¯s sixteen states. A continental bag of business and earning universal money! She will let the world¡¯s best ce of business really be the world¡¯s best. At that time, the people of Moyu can also proudly start a new life!
At this time, Shangguan Wu Ji, being the messenger to escort princess, was promoted to a general and had the special task of taking care of the basic necessities of Murong Qi Qi and to take care of her safety.
All the way, unavoidable, Shangguan Wu Ji personally intervened and checked everything.
Escorting the person in his heart to marrying far away, seeing her bing someone else¡¯s wife with his own eyes, undoubtedly to Shangguan Wu Ji, it was an extremely cruel thing. Every time he saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s indifferent expression, Shangguan Wu Ji felt like a knife was stabbing into his heart. Piece by piece, making blood drip.
A day passed again. The sun went down. The long line of troops stopped and stationed. Shangguan Wu Ji rode a horse and stopped next to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage.
¡°Princess, tomorrow we will reach the Stone Gate.¡±
Stone Gate is the border between Xi Qi and Bei Zhou. After passing the Stone Gate, they will be in Bei Zhou.
Although she¡¯s someone who practiced martial arts, but sitting in the carriage for the whole day was somewhat too much for Murong Qi Qi. Her whole body felt like it¡¯s breaking apart. The moment she heard that they would take a break, Murong Qi Qi, with the help of Su Yue and Su Mei, went down the carriage.
The closer they got to the north, the more tter and open the terrains became, and it also became more and more deste. There are no Xi Qi¡¯s mountains. Only a grey vast field could be seen. Plus the fact, that¡¯s already early in the winter. The grass has withered. The whole vast ground is deste, looking increasingly tragic.
¡°Princess, the moment we pass Stone Gate, we will be entering Bei Zhou. If we ride day and night, only need ten days¡¯ time to reach Bei Zhou¡¯s capital Yan Jing.¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji dismounted, walked towards Murong Qi Qi and exined the journey of the following day.
¡°Ten days, still ten days.......¡±
Just the thought of needing to stay in the carriage for ten more days made Murong Qi Qi get a headache. It just so happens that she is a ¡®princess¡¯ and can¡¯t ride on a horse. She can only hide in the carriage. The following days will be harder to pass.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression went into Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s eyes, but it turned into another meaning.
Sure enough, she doesn¡¯t want to go to Bei Zhou and doesn¡¯t want to marry Feng Cang! That being the case, why didn¡¯t he take her away with him. The further away they get, the better!
This night, the moon and the stars were diluted. There was no wind. A quiet full moon hung on the sky. It¡¯s the fifteenth of a month again.
Feng Cang was already asleep. And his eagle troops were like usual, setting up hundreds of tents which surrounded Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tents like two huge arms which protected them inside.
Late at night, aside from the night watcher, the others were asleep. Suddenly, a bird shouted twice: ¡°Cuckoo! Cuckoo!¡±
Then a gust of wind passed dragging a long arrow and shot over.
¡°Assassin!¡±
A shout, the eagle troop went to meet the enemy. No panic could be seen. The ones who came were five hundred men. ck clothes, ck clothed masks, revealing only their ck eyes.
¡°Kill!¡±
¡°Protect princess!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji shouted loudly while he rushed to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tent.
The attack at night came so sudden. The five hundred people were well-trained people. Their skills were no less than the eagle troop and they seemed to hold the determination to die. So the killers became more ruthless. For a time, the scene was in chaos. Blood and fire filled the air.
¡°Princess! Princess!¡±
When Shangguan Wu Ji arrived, Murong Qi Qi was already fully dressed and was sitting inside the tent.
¡°Come with me!¡±
When he saw Murong Qi Qi, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the tent. Outside, everything was on fire. Shangguan Wu Ji pulled Murong Qi Qi onto his ck horse. A whip hit the horse butt. The horse rushed towards the side with fewer people.
¡°Shangguan Wu Ji, where are you taking me to?¡±
The wind was whistling in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear. Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s horse¡¯s hooves sounded loudly and ran very fast.
¡°Taking you away!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji ripped off his cloak and wrapped Murong Qi Qi in it.
¡°Are you crazy?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was very surprised.
¡°Shangguan Wu Ji, you are defying the decree, you know?!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t bother with it so much! I can¡¯t let you marry him!¡±
The news that Shangguan Wu Ji took away Murong Qi Qi, spread to the outside of Feng Cang¡¯s tent in a moment.
¡°What happened?¡±
Feng Cang was bathing in a bucket full of medicine. The dark syrup emitted an odor. He was pale. Large drops of sweat were on his forehead. He looked very scary. The only thing that didn¡¯t change was that pair of crystal like water eyes.
¡°Wangye2, all is right.¡±
Jin Mo stood behind Feng Cang. The silver needle in his hand stuck into Feng Cang¡¯s skull.
¡°They are just some small things. It won¡¯t take long. Be assured......¡±
¡°Is it?¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t believe Jin Mo. He heard someone mention Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Ru Yi, you say!¡±
¡°This venomous insect is too strong. Wait till I force it out.¡±
The silver needles in Jin Mo¡¯s hands rapidly went into Feng Cang¡¯s body. From the back of his head to his back, all have a silver color.
¡°Jin Mo, what are you hiding from me?¡±
Knowing Jin Mo¡¯s personality, Feng Cang didn¡¯t let those words sway him.
¡°Ru Yi, if you don¡¯t say it, then don¡¯t stay at benwang¡¯s3 side anymore.¡±
Ru Yi is now in a dilemma. If he doesn¡¯t say, Feng Cang will get angry. ording to his (FC) personality, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to serve at wangye¡¯s side anymore. However, today is the fifteenth. It¡¯s a critical moment of wangye¡¯s disease. If he tells Feng Cang that little wangfei4 eloped with Shangguan Wu Ji, wangye will get angry. It¡¯ll be bad if this anger hurts his body.
Just as Ru Yi was hesitating, Feng Cang pushed Jin Mo away and stood up.
¡°Wangye......¡±
Seeing Feng Cang acting like this, Jin Mo became nervous and anxious. The treatment being interrupted, how much damage that will cause Feng Cang¡¯s body, he knows it all too well.
Feng Cang¡¯s vessels bulged like vines wrapped around his arms, covering his whole body. It looked very scary, but the coldnessing out of his body was the scariest of them all.
¡°Say! What happened to wangfei?¡±
Feng Cang red at Ru Yi. The coldness in his eyes was overflowing. There wasn¡¯t a trace of human in it. And the pressure released from his body made people unable to bear it.
¡®Pa!¡¯
Knowing that wangye had be really angry, Ru Yi¡¯s knees went weak and he knelt in front of Feng Cang.
¡°Wang, wangfei she......¡±
¡°Why are you mentioning her?! Wangye, I¡¯ll continue.......¡±
Jin Mo prevented Ru Yi from speaking. But the next moment, Feng Cang¡¯s big hand unexpectedly locked tightly at his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
¡°Wangye......¡±
¡°Jin Mo, benwang will say it once again, Murong Qi Qi is benwang¡¯s wangfei. If you don¡¯t respect her, benwang will kill you!¡±
The coldness in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes is true. The intention to kill is also true. Jin Mo never expected that after following him for a decade, Feng Cang would do this to him because of this little trifle.
¡°Say!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hand tightened some more. His purple eyes are deste, icy and even more colder. It¡¯s like an ice-house which is able to freeze people.
Feng Cang¡¯s eyes turns purple when his disease is acting up. His eyes are normally ck. Later in the book, we will find out the reason why.
How long has it been since hest saw Feng Cang get so angry? Jin Mo¡¯s heart tightened. The pain on his throat spread throughout his body. He knew that if he said one more word, Feng Cang will not be lenient. So, he honestly closed his mouth.
¡°Wangye, general Shangguan took wangfei away!¡±
Ru Yi closed his eyes, endured the tears and told the truth.
¡°Took away......¡±
After hearing this, Feng Cang froze for a moment. His heart bolted out of the blue as if he suddenly lost a bone. The strength in his hand weakened and his body fell back.
¡®Boom.¡¯ The medicine water spilled all over the floor.
¡°She left?¡±
Feng Cang thought that Murong Qi Qi would follow him to Bei Zhou, would marry him and they would have their own children. He didn¡¯t expect that she would go away with Shangguan Wu Ji! Why? Why?
¡°Wangye, wangfei went away with Shangguan Wu Ji.¡±
Seeing Feng Cang so pale and feeble sitting there, Jin Mo couldn¡¯t bear to see him like this. This wangye¡¯s love got moved, his heart turned chaotic. Finding out that wangfei eloped with another man, his heart must be in pain. He is such a proud person, this time he must be really heartbroken......
Enduring the pain on his throat, Jin Mo continued to put needles into Feng Cang. Today is the fifteenth. It¡¯s the day Feng Cang¡¯s disease will act up. Jin Mo already cursed Murong Qi Qi a thousand times. This woman is really not letting them be peaceful! Since she has another in her heart, why did she still provoke Feng Cang?! Damn!
¡°Wangye, endure. It¡¯ll only take a while.¡±
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Feng Cang let Jin Mo practice acupuncture on him and pushed back those ugly bruises. His hair hung down, blocking his purple eyes, making people unable to guess what this wangye is thinking. It¡¯s just that even Jin Mo and Ru Yi could detect the disease in Feng Cang was bing slightly worse. It¡¯s all because of that woman!
¡°Done......¡±
Finally, Jin Mo let out a long sigh. Fortunately, this time, they passed through it. He was worried that Feng Cang¡¯s impulsiveness would ruin today¡¯s treatment.
Just as Jin Mo said the word done, Feng Cang spit out a mouthful of ck blood.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Jin Mo was shocked. He had guessed wrong. The position Murong Qi Qi has in Feng Cang¡¯s heart is not normal. Just now, he (FC) forced all the rage into his body. Now the matter has be worse! If it damages the internal organs, it¡¯ll be big trouble!
Feng Cang opened his eyes. His eyes turned back to ck. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up.
¡°Ru Yi, guide benwang to search for wangfei!¡±
¡°Wangye, you can¡¯t. Your body......¡±
¡®Peng......¡¯
With one stroke, Feng Cang swept Jin Mo who had been blocking the way. He strode out of the bucket and draped his body in white clothes. He turned back. The coldness on his body was strong.
¡°Jin Mo, if next time you have so many words again, benwang really won¡¯t be polite anymore!¡±
¡°Wangye!¡±
This time, Ru Yi was very anxious. Seeing Feng Cang looking like this, if he really goes out to search for Murong Qi Qi now, what should he (RY) do if he (FC) faints? Or if wangfei wanted to elope from the bottom of her heart, then what should wangye do? Would he let them be or kill that pair on the spot?
Ru Yi couldn¡¯t specte Feng Cang¡¯s inner thoughts. Seeing him so decisive, nobody could stop him. Ru Yi could only help Feng Cang dress and get the horse for him.
¡°Ji Xiang, let the eagle troop kill without leaving any survivors!¡±
As he left the tent, he nced at those stubborn people in ck. Feng Cang humphed coldly and quickly mounted the horse. He thought about which way Shangguan Wu Ji went with Murong Qi Qi and chased after them in that direction.
¡°That¡¯s demon wang! Kill him!¡±
When a white clothed Feng Cang appeared in front of the people in ck, someone immediately shouted.
¡°Big reward for killing demon wang......¡±
This person hadn¡¯t even finished talking when a sharp arrow went straight through his throat. Not far away, Ji Xiang held a bow in her hand. The bow had five arrows. She shot all the ck people who rushed towards Feng Cang to death.
¡°Overconfident!¡±
The eagle troop who got themand, now they also got serious. They only listened to Feng Cang¡¯smand. Since wangyemanded that they need to kill without leaving any survivors, then these five hundred people can only stay here to be fertilizer.
At this side, Shangguan Wu Ji is rushing with Murong Qi Qi.
Shangguan Wu Ji had studied the escape route many times. If they go back to Xi Qi, before long they will be found. Only the most dangerous ce is also the safest ce. Surely Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t expect that they will go to Bei Zhou, so they need to go to Bei Zhou first to stay out of trouble and then go to Dong Lu.
¡°Shangguan Wu Ji, put me down!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji suddenly making such a scene, made Murong Qi Qipletely became senseless. He wants to flee with her from the marriage? Take her wandering around the world? Did he ever ask about her thoughts?!
¡°Put me down!¡±
Murong Qi Qi struggled hard. Shangguan Wu Ji was worried that she will fall from the horse, so he could only stop.
Not waiting for the horse to stop, Murong Qi Qi got off, scaring Shangguan Wu Ji so much that he also jumped off. He wanted to see if Murong Qi Qi was hurt, but she evaded him.
¡°Take me back!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi opened her mouth, it was those words.
¡°No!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji shook his head.
Sending her back into that pit of fire? Let her marry demon wang and then die on the wedding night? He couldn¡¯t do this, no matter what! And he can¡¯t see her disappear from this earth with his own eyes! When he asked a decree to escort Murong Qi Qi, Shangguan Wu Ji already had the thought of taking her away. Now is the right opportunity!
¡°Do you know what you are doing?¡±
Facing such a handsome and stubborn man, Murong Qi Qi waspletely speechless. Does he think he is a knight who rescued a princess from a monster¡¯s hands? Does he know what¡¯s at stake here?
Hearing the anger in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice, Shangguan Wu Ji took a few steps forward and took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace.
¡°Qi Qi,e with me! I¡¯ll take you away!¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart jumped strong and powerful. In this quiet night, you can hear it particrly clear.
Go away? It¡¯s much easier said than done. Has this man thought about it? If the princess to form a marriage alliance disappeared, the emperor of Bei Zhou will be angry; if war is started, then many lives will be lost. The ones who will be suffering are themoners. They will have to bear the name of causing disaster!
¡°Wu Ji, I know you care about me and worry about me, but I can¡¯t go away with you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head and broke away from Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s embrace.
To her, a soul in a different world, she can settle everywhere. But now she has the title of princess Zhao Yang, she must continue to walk on this road.
She cannot, because of her own happiness and freedom, let others sink into unhappiness. Besides, behind her she still has more than a thousand lives from Moyu. She has promised them to use clear means to let them have the right to stand under the sun. How can she leave them alone......?
¡°You are a child from great family Shangguan. You can¡¯t betray your blood! You can¡¯t let the people fall into water and fire because of your selfishness! You also can¡¯t let Shangguan family¡¯s ancestors be in shame just because of the braveness of a moment! Besides, the empress dowager is still there. How can you let empress dowager broke her heart?!¡±
¡°And I also can¡¯t go with you. I have my responsibilities and obligations. I also have people I want to protect. I can¡¯t give them up because of my selfishness.¡±
Can¡¯t betray the godfather who gave her a new life. Can¡¯t betray the people from Moyu who apanied her for five years.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words engraved in Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart. She has people she wants to protect? But doesn¡¯t she know that the only one he wants to protect is only her, Murong Qi Qi?!
Under the moonlight, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s decisive face made Shangguan Wu Ji feel heartache. If he had spoken first and asked the empress dowager to grant marriage, then would there still be these twists and turns? And she also wouldn¡¯t have to bear all of this.
¡°Wangye, howe you came?¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked behind Shangguan Wu Ji and eximed.
Hearing that Feng Cang came and he didn¡¯t even notice, Shangguan Wu Ji was very shocked. He turned but there was no one, he only felt pain at his neck. With a sound, Shangguan Wu Ji fell onto the ground.
¡°Miss, subordinates camete!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi and knelt down.
¡°Bring general Shangguan back.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue strapped Shangguan Wu Ji onto the horse and left. Murong Qi Qi also mounted a horse and slowly went back.
At this time, Murong Qi Qi is thinking how to exin what happened today to Feng Cang. General escaped with the princess, Feng Cang must already know this. What will he think? Will he hold Shangguan Wu Ji responsible? Will he magnify the me and because of this, deal with Xi Qi?
Although in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s opinion, the matter of the country has nothing to do with her, but Shangguan Wu Ji is her friend. He had repeatedly extended a hand to help her, she can¡¯t let something happens to him. Although what Shangguan Wu Ji did was reckless but the starting point is because of her.
Murong Qi Qi was lost in thoughts. She didn¡¯t even sense Feng Canging closer. When she looked up, Feng Cang already reined the horse. He was only five meters away from her.
¡°Wangye......¡±
Chapter 64 Wangfei eloped with a man (2)
Chapter 64 Wangfei eloped with a man (2)
Under the moonlight, Feng Cang¡¯s face was pale and looked haggard. Not waiting for the ¡®wangye¡¯ toe outpletely from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, Feng Cang flew forward and took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His chin was on her ck hair. He closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of her hair.
¡°Wangye1......¡±
¡°Hush Qing Qing, let me hold you for a moment.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s strength was great as though he wanted to rub Murong Qi Qi into his bones. Only when the woman in his embrace was having difficulties breathing, did Feng Cang loosen his hands.
¡°Sorry, I hurt you!¡±
Feng Cang lifted the hair on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead and looked at her bright eyes. After a long time, he continued speaking: ¡°Qing Qing, why......didn¡¯t you go away with him?¡±
He knew? He knew everything! Murong Qi Qi frowned. The sensitive Feng Cang was immediately aware of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts.
¡°Is Qing Qing worried that I will make things difficult for general Shangguan?¡±
¡°Wangye, Shangguan Wu Ji didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±
In this regard, Murong Qi Qi could only exin it like this.
¡°Is the one in Qing Qing¡¯s heart him?¡± Feng Cang continued to ask.
¡°Ah?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was startled. He actually suspected that she and Shangguan Wu Ji were having an affair? How can this be?! She sees Shangguan Wu Ji as only a good friend. What is this wangye¡¯s mind thinking? Can it be that between a man and a woman can only be love and not friendship?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression told Feng Cang her answer.
¡°Hu......,¡± Feng Cang finally let out a sigh of relief. In her heart, there¡¯s no Shangguan Wu Ji. He still has a chance. His chase hasn¡¯t been in vain!
Thinking till here, Feng Cang once again took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His ten fingers were intertwined with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ten fingers.
¡°Qing Qing, no matter what you did today and for whom you stayed; since you stayed, I¡¯ll take it as you are determined to be my, Feng Cang, woman! And I also will not let go of your hand. I won¡¯t give you the opportunity to regret!¡±
Towards Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®deration of possession¡¯, Murong Qi Qi was stupefied: ¡°Wangye, don¡¯t you already have a person in your heart......?¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Feng Cang finally understood what she meant about ¡®support¡¯ that night. So it turned out that she misunderstood him and thought he already had a person in his heart! This little woman, ah! Why is she so cute? Can it be that she doesn¡¯t know that in his heart only lives her?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eye were somewhat dazed and clueless. In Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, they seemed very cute.
His little wangfei2 is actually so muddle-headed and doesn¡¯t understand the love between a man and a woman. Even more, she hasn¡¯t been touched or fell in love with someone. That¡¯s why she is so confused like a small deer. Silly and na?ve. This demeanour ispletely different from her cunning and calcting self. He really picked up a living treasure!
If it¡¯s like this, presumably Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t know about the matter of the hairpins on a ¡®turning adult¡¯ ceremony! No wonder she epted five hairpins at once, causing his jealousy to fly all over the sky and she didn¡¯t care. And also made him eat vinegar for a few days......
So the truth is like this, ah! This little wangfei, ah! At the pce feast, she was so smart while making others miserable, so why is she like a baby in the matters of love? Really like unripe apples. It¡¯s the same as the scent from her body!
However, this is also fine. Since she is a rough jade that hasn¡¯t been carved, then he will be the craftsmen to carve the jade. Let her mind and body be branded with his name, so that shepletely belongs to him!
Feng Cang¡¯s expression changed many times, making Murong Qi Qi wonder even more. Don¡¯t know what this wangye is thinking. So she simply lowered her head and became a small rabbit.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi returned to her usual self, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help himself from reaching out and squeezing her small nose.
¡°Wangfei, let¡¯s go back!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Although Feng Cang didn¡¯t use much strength, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t like the feeling of being pulled by the nose. She felt the same as a small dog. No matter how, it doesn¡¯t feel right.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Seeing the unhappy expression of Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cangughed. She is real one time, fake another time. Real, real, fake fake. Fake fake, real, real as if her face has a thousand expressions. Seems like he really needs to spend a good deal of effort to learn more about Murong Qi Qi.
The two returned to the camp. The traces of blood have already been cleaned as if the attack didn¡¯t happen, as if the five hundred men never came. Everything was clean. Even the air felt fresh without any smells of blood.
This time, aside from the driver who had died, some were only slightly injured and the others didn¡¯t even suffer a bit.
¡°Wangye, eight were caught alive.¡±
Ji Xiang let people bring the eight tied people in ck in front of Feng Cang.
¡°Kill!¡±
The moment Feng Cang¡¯s words left, a light from a sword appeared. Eight heads fell on the ground, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t question and directly let people kill them. Such directness and efficiency made even Murong Qi Qi nod in approval.
They were attacked at the border, so these people were certainly not sent by Xi Qi. No matter how stupid Longze Yu is, he wouldn¡¯t let something happen to Feng Cang in his territory. He is more than willing to let Feng Cang leave Xi Qi safely. The only possibility was Bei Zhou. There are people who dislike Feng Cang in that country. That¡¯s why they chose to make a move at the Stone Gate to frame Xi Qi.
It¡¯s just that who in Bei Zhou has so much hatred towards Feng Cang, even wanting to kill him? It seems that Feng Cang¡¯s poprity is also general, ah. Then does this mean that more fun things will happen when she goes there?
¡°Qing Qing, in view of this time¡¯s ident, we shouldn¡¯t be so far away from each other. Youe closer to me. Then I can protect you better, ah! Lest you be separated again like today and I need to go search.......¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to oppose, Feng Cang directly let people move her tent next to his. Looking at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tent, Feng Cang nodded with satisfaction: ¡°From tomorrow on, Qing Qing and I will be in the same carriage! Then I can protect your safety!¡±
¡°Wangye, this, this is not appropriate......¡±
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat helpless.
Every day, facing with that devilish beautiful face of Feng Cang? How strong of a mind will be enough, ah?! Besides, is this wangye¡¯s aim really to protect her? This felt really fishy!
Guessing that Murong Qi Qi would refuse, Feng Cang looked around and with a puzzled expression, he asked: ¡°Uh, where did general Shangguan go? Why didn¡¯t I see him the whole night?¡±
You have guts! The other party used Shangguan Wu Ji, used today¡¯s ¡®outrageous¡¯ matter to threaten her, so Murong Qi Qi can only thoroughly go with him. This is entirely ckmailing and intimidating, ah! He actually used Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s matter to grasp her. He is really too ck bellied!
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s displeasure, Feng Cangughed. Inside the flirtatious Feng Cang¡¯s eyes appearedughter.
¡°Qing Qing, did you see general Shangguan? Is he not responsible for your safety? Can it be that he is still asleep? How can this happen?! All these movements didn¡¯t even wake him. It seems that general Shangguan¡¯s vignce is too low, ah! In the future, how about I protect you?¡±
¡°Alright......¡±
This ¡®alright¡¯ing from Murong Qi Qi seemed like it came through gritted teeth. Feng Cang even seemed to have heard the sound of her teeth grinding. The smile in his eyes became thicker.
¡°Qing Qing, can it be that you are not willing? Then benwang3 can only go look for general Shangguan......¡±
¡°I¡¯m willing!¡±
Murong Qi Qi immediately nodded and revealed a bright smile.
¡°In the future, I¡¯ll trouble wangye! It¡¯ste now. I¡¯m going to rest. See you tomorrow!¡±
After talking, Murong Qi Qi rushed into her own tent. Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure disappear, Feng Cang¡¯s smile faded and he went back to his tent.
¡°Ke, ke!¡±
Just as he went inside, two mouthfuls of ck blood were coughed out, which ckened his white clothes on his chest.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Jin Mo, who had been waiting for him here, immediately went forward to help Feng Cang. With Ru Yi, he helped Feng Cang to the bed.
¡°I¡¯m fine. Speak a bit more quietly. Don¡¯t let her hear.¡±
Although the edges of his mouth still had ck blood, but Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and smile wereughing. He finally let her stay. No matter if she¡¯s happy or not, he believed that his sincerity can even affect metal and stone. He will surely be able to move her heart.
¡°Wangye, is it worth the trouble......?¡±
Jin Mo sighed. This night, he almost worried to death. He was afraid that when Feng Cang saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®love¡¯, he would be in shock, which would stimte the gu poison in his body.
Gu: is a venom based poison which involves sealing several venomous creatures inside a container where they devour one another and allegedly concentrate their toxins into a single survivor. In ancient china, people from the south (nan) used gu to do all sort of things. Because gu is so small, it can enter someone¡¯s body without being noticed. That¡¯s why they are very dangerous and people used to avoid people from the south.
Fortunately, he came back safely, although he brought back Murong Qi Qi. This made Jin Mo feel somewhat unhappy. But to Jin Mo, Feng Cang returning safely was the best thing.
Letting the others retreat, Jin Mo began to practice acupuncture on Feng Cang. Feng Cang¡¯s treatment being interrupted had harmed his body greatly. Tonight would be a sleepless night again. Those attackers came well prepared. They actually chose the night of the full moon; when Feng Cang will fall ill to attack. Really damn them!
¡°Jin Mo, you don¡¯t understand.¡±
Feng Cang closed his eyes and remembered every smile and frown from Murong Qi Qi. And then after remembering her angry and unwilling expression, his mood became better. He didn¡¯t mind that earlier on, his heart was in his throat and how worried he was about Murong Qi Qi walking away......
¡°Jin Mo, you¡¯re such a cold-blooded person, seemingly heartless, but in fact, you are exceedingly empathic. If you really met your true love, you wouldn¡¯t hesitate even more than I do.
¡°I don¡¯t believe in those nothingness!¡±
Jin Mo didn¡¯t believe in Feng Cang¡¯s words. His whole life, he only pursued excellence of medicine. Love? It¡¯s only a thing to pass boring times. And he didn¡¯t even have time to rest.
Jin Mo¡¯s biggest wish is to cure Feng Cang. It¡¯s not just only for friendship but it¡¯s more about enhancing himself. Cracking medical problems is what Jin Mo¡¯s most interested in. As for women, they are troublesome species. He wished he can avoid all and stay at a distance, how would he put feelings into them.......
¡°Do you dare to gamble with me?¡±
Feng Cang opened his eyes and smilingly looked at Jin Mo¡¯s cold eyes. At this time, his (FC) eyes doesn¡¯t have the previous haze anymore. His eyes were translucent, showing that the owner of this body was in a very good mood.
¡°I bet if you met a woman you love; you will not hesitate to let the moth fly into the me!¡±
The moth flies into the me: fatal attraction
Under the candle light, the ¡®realness¡¯ in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes surprised Jin Mo. Them his hands began to be busy again. He would not be like Feng Cang. Because of Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang chased after her, regardless of his illness. He would never give up his life because of a woman.
¡°Wangye, you want to bet? Alright. But if you lose, you have to cooperate with my treatment. You can¡¯t be like today. In my hands, there¡¯s no person who had died. Don¡¯t tarnish my reputation!¡±
¡°Deal!¡±
Seeing Jin Mo being so foolish, Feng Cang just smiled and epted the deal. Then he closed his eyes again and epted the treatment.
The whole night, Jin Mo didn¡¯t rest. He had been treating Feng Cang with acupuncture. Only when the horizon turned white did Jin Mo put away his needles and wiped the sweat on his face away with a white handkerchief.
¡°Wangye, next time, you can¡¯t be headstrong like this again. Otherwise, even if my master is here, he wouldn¡¯t be able to cure you.¡±
Jin Mo helped Feng Cang up and repeatedly warned him.
¡°I know!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s face color returned to normal. Receiving treatment the whole night made his face somewhat pale, but his spirit was a lot better.
¡°Jin Mo, you and I are the same age, why are you nagging like an old aunt?¡±
¡°Is it not because wangye doesn¡¯t listen to advice and does whatever you like?!¡±
Jin Mo didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry at Feng Cang¡¯s joking tone.
¡°As long as wangye cooperates and treats yourself well, I¡¯ll certainly find a way!¡±
¡°Rest assured, Jin Mo......¡±
Feng Cang pointed at his heart.
¡°Now I have someone I worry about in here. I¡¯ll certainly take care of my body. I want to grow old with her and also have many children and grandchildren. So in the future, I¡¯ll be troubling you.¡±
The ¡®eloping at night¡¯ matter wasn¡¯t pursued like Feng Cang said and Murong Qi Qi becamepletely imprisoned in his circle. The two were in the same carriage on the same road during the day and at night, their tents were only a few steps away of each other. In short, wherever Feng Cang is, there Murong Qi Qi will be also. The range of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s activities didn¡¯t exceed the sight of Feng Cang.
A few times, Shangguan Wu Ji wanted to talk to Murong Qi Qi, but was blocked with a phrase from Ji Xiang, ¡®wangye will protect wangfei¡¯. Plus the fact that Feng Cang had been attacked inside Xi Qi, after Longze Yu found out, he sent a decree to scold Shangguan Wu Ji very hard. These past few days, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s spirit was very low and his expression looked bad.
¡°Wangfei, the things you wanted have been prepared.¡±
In order to avoid being face to face with Feng Cang; the boring thing of small eyes staring at big eyes, Murong Qi Qi let people make a set of chess. Have to say, the people under Feng Cang are very effective. She was just painting a xiang chess set out of boredom, the next day Feng Cang let people sent one over.
They are obviously on a journey with no craftsmen or anything, but the xiang chess set Ru Yi brought was so exquisite. Half of the chess pieces were made from red sandalwood. So yellow, they became translucent. So purple, they emitted redness.
This era only has Gobang (Gomuku/Five in a row) and xiang chess. Towards this xiang chess designed by Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang was very interested.

Feng Cang is Bei Zhou¡¯s war god. He used military forces like a god. So Murong Qi Qi is also interested in battling with this general from ancient times to see who is better. So she patiently told Feng Cang how to y. She just told once and demonstrated twice, and Feng Cang already understood the cleverness of this xiang chess.
¡°Clever! How did Qing Qinge up with the idea of such wonderful chess?¡±
Now, Feng Cang even more felt the mystery behind this girl. Is she really that rubbish third miss from the rumors? Why is it from the pce feast to this xiang chess set, she continued to bring him surprises?
¡°I learned by ident. Wangye, why don¡¯t we y?¡±
Murong Qi Qi has long been overjoyed. The other party is a war god. Don¡¯t know how his ability of ¡®talking military on paper¡¯ is!
Seeing those bright eyes of the woman in front of him, Feng Cang smiled: ¡°If Qing Qing is happy, why not?! I¡¯m willing!¡±
Inside the carriage, two people yed chess. Although Feng Cang is a novice, but he has actualbat experience. And xiang chess is the same as military confrontation, so only after three, four times, Feng Cang became skilled at it, making Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but admire Feng Cang¡¯s wisdom.
During the process, Feng Cang also couldn¡¯t help but admire the inventor of the xiang chess even more. Magnificent army with thousands of men and horses are all on this board. This is a concentrated mini battlefield, ah! It looked like just a game of chess, but isn¡¯t it also military forces facing each other?!
¡°Checkmate!¡±
Murong Qi Qi put down the ¡®horse¡¯.
¡°Wangye, your turn!¡±
¡°Benwang lost.......,¡± Feng Cang sighed.
¡°Wangye, you just got to know xiang chess and you already can y so well. A few more days and you¡¯ll be better than me.¡±
Murong Qi Qi knew that even though she won, she won because of the experience of ying xiang chess for so many years.
¡°Since Qing Qing said so, let¡¯s y one more game!¡±
Ten days passed quickly. These ten days, inside Feng Cang¡¯s carriage, ¡®kill¡¯, ¡®fight¡¯, ¡®exchange¡¯ and ¡®checkmate¡¯ were constantly heard. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice is delicate, Feng Cang¡¯s voice is high, making the eagle troop raise their eyebrows. They were wondering what wangye and wangfei were doing inside.
However, it seemed that wangye and wangfei have a good rtionship. This made everyone happy aside from Jin Mo. He had been brooding about the matter of Feng Cang going to chase after Murong Qi Qi with no regard to his treatment. Whenever he saw Murong Qi Qi, he would have a gloomy expression.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi ¡®turned a blind eye¡¯ to this, because now she found new fun. It¡¯s ying chess with Feng Cang. This person is a genius! Using the art of war on xiang chess. In just a few days, he was evenly matched with Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi learned to y xiang chess for many years. Besides, she also received guidance from a famous teacher. Now, just in a few days, Feng Cang already has her achievements of ten years. It made Murong Qi Qi gradually begin to admire Feng Cang from the bottom of her heart.
Murong Qi Qi starts to admire Feng Cang and Feng Cang can¡¯t love this little wangfei enough. He even thought that if Murong Qi Qi was a man, she would certainly not lose to him and would certainly be a war god.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi is a woman and is now his wangfei. If she was a man who was loyal to Xi Qi, then when they met on the battlefield, she would bepeting against him. It would be difficult to know who would have won and who would have lost.
¡°Aiya, why hasn¡¯t Cang gege<4e yet!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu tiptoed to the entrance of wangfu5 and peered at the distance.
¡°Ning er6 sent some people to go take a look!¡±
¡°Princess, wangye has already entered the city. He will be here soon!¡±
The pce maid Ning er next to Wanyan Bao Zhu told the news to Wanyan Bao Zhu smilingly.
¡°Be a bit more patient and wait a bit! You will see wangye soon!¡±
¡°Ning er, did you find out clearly? That Murong Qi Qi is really ugly?¡±
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu heard that Feng Cang was arriving soon, she immediately straightened out her dress. She didn¡¯t forget to ask about Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s true! Murong Qi Qi really is a rubbish and ugly woman!¡±
Yong er at one side, helped Wanyan Bao Zhu with her braids.
¡°Princess, rest assured! You are our Bei Zhou¡¯s number one beauty. How would you be defeated by a rubbish?!¡±
¡°En!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu nodded. Cang gege is her groom. She will definitely not hand him over! Regardless if the other party is Xi Qi¡¯s princess or any other person, whoever dares to block her on the road of bing Nan Lin wangfei, she will not let them off lightly!
When Wanyan Bao Zhu nearly lost her patience from waiting, Feng Cang¡¯s carriage slowly appeared on the street.
¡°Cang gege!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart jumped from joy. She wanted to rush over there, but was stopped by Ning er: ¡°Princess, beposed! Be modest! You always wanted to learn and be like Mu family¡¯s miss. She will not raise her skirt and run to a man like that!¡±
¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ll beposed. I¡¯ll be modest!¡±
Hearing Ning er, Wanyan Bao Zhu immediately stopped and stood at the entrance. Men like gentle and virtuous women. She must change her burning temper and be a little woman! She doesn¡¯t want to lose to Mu Yu Die!

Chapter 65 A gang of butterflies (1)
The carriage finally stopped in front of Nan Lin wangfu1.
¡°Qing Qing, we¡¯ve arrived!¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan¡¯s Bao Zhu¡¯s ¡®Cang gege2¡¯ to finish, Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and carefully came off the carriage. Such care made Wanyan Bao Zhu perplexed. Is this still the Feng Cang who put people thousand miles away? When has he treated a girl so pleasantly?
Is that person who Feng Cang is guarding, Murong Qi Qi? Wanyan Bao Zhu stared at Murong Qi Qi from head to toe. Features can only be considered ordinary. Besides, her title of princess is only bestowed. She is not nobler than herself! It¡¯s just, why is Cang gege holding her hand? Could it be something happened on the journey?!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t notice Wanyan Bao Zhu, instead she looked up at the three words ¡®Nan Lin wang3¡¯ on the que at the entrance. There¡¯s a trace of pride in the letters. With a look, you can see it came from the hands of a famous calligrapher.
¡°Good words,¡± Murong Qi Qi said in admiration.
¡°Is Qing Qing also interested in calligraphy?¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi said that, Feng Cang immediately became interested.
¡°Wangye, who wrote this que?¡±
¡°Cang gege wrote it!¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to answer, an arrogant voice came between them.
Only now did Murong Qi Qi see Wanyan Bao Zhu. She was around sixteen-year-old. Her length is about 1.68 meters. The skin is reddish, revealing a healthy color. Willow eyebrows, almond eyes, cherry lips and her ck her were made into braids hanging on her back. On her head was a blue hat. She was wearing blue clothes. On her feet were blue boots made from deer skin. She is a vibrant girl!
Seeing Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s height, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but envy. In the past life, she was 1.70. Why here, is she only 1.62? Although, 1.62 isn¡¯t considered short, butpared to Feng Cang¡¯s 1.92, she felt like she is ¡®cute and helpless-looking¡¯.
¡°Cang gege, why did youe back only now, ah?!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s hand on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s mouth immediately pouted. Pout is the way she thought is a ¡®cute¡¯ approach. Often, she practiced for half a day in front of the mirror so that she can express her ¡®cute¡¯ side in front of Feng Cang.
Oh......Murong Qi Qiughed in her heart. It seems that it¡¯s again someone who has a crush on Feng Cang. Feng Cang is still her husband in name. This Wanyan Bao Zhu is looking at him so full of resentment, really like a ming wife; as if someone owed her something.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t bother with Wanyan Bao Zhu and didn¡¯t put her ¡®dissatisfaction¡¯ into his eyes. He just frowned and looked at the housekeeper Feng Qi.
Seeing wangye¡¯s cold eyes, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Wangye is angry! Feng Qi knew that the wrong is on him.
Earlier, Feng Cang sent a letter to let housekeeper Feng Qi clean up Tingsong building. He said he will bring back wangfei4 and also repeatedly said to not let peoplee bother Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect that the moment he came back, he will saw such a big infatuated flower at the entrance. How can he not be angry?! What do he do if his little wangfei misunderstands?
It¡¯s just that Feng Qi also didn¡¯t have a way, ah!
She is a dignified princess and also wangye¡¯s little cousin. Early today, Wanyan Bao Zhu already came and waited till now. No matter how he persuaded; with kind words or forced, she didn¡¯t go away. He couldn¡¯t let people take a broom and chase a princess out, ah! Not to mention, that the princess again and again used ¡®imperial grandmother¡¯ sent me, making people even more helpless.
It appears that he can only go ask for punishmentter, Feng Qi was thinking.
All of this is because this damned princess. She doesn¡¯t anything, why doesn¡¯t she get married. She is just always bothering his wangye. A girl who doesn¡¯t even know how to write the word ¡®shame¡¯ and now even caused him to receive punishment! Fortunately, wangye never bothered with princess, otherwise if he really let this girl be the wangfei, then won¡¯t the whole wangfu be so restless that not even the chickens and dogs are left undisturbed!
Not even the chickens and dogs are left undisturbed: greatmotion
Wanyan Bao Zhu pouted very hard as if she suffered much grievances. Fortunately, Feng Cang¡¯s attitude towards Wanyan Bao Zhu was very cold. This made Murong Qi Qi feel a bit relieved.
No matter how the butterfly was bothering the flower, but this flower didn¡¯t bloom. It just don¡¯t let you get the honey. Even if you yearn for it, what can you do about it? No matter how beautiful the butterfly is, facing a flower with an iron face, you will be at your wit¡¯s end. It¡¯s not like you can tear the petals piece by piece to open him! Then you need to have great ability!
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat determined to test where the bottom line of this princess is and also wanted to know if Feng Cang is really cool or pretending to be cool. So, she took two steps. Her body swung, her hands stroked her head and she shouted that she was dizzy.
¡°Qing Qing, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi being unwell, made Feng Cang very anxious. He directly lifted Murong Qi Qi up, hurriedly went pass Wanyan Bao Zhu and didn¡¯t even look at her once.
¡°Jin Mo, follow us!¡±
Not waiting for Wangyan Bao Zhu to open her mouth once again, Feng Cang rushed into the fu5 with Murong Qi Qi in his arms, leaving Wanyan Bao Zhu standing foolishly at the entrance. Her two subordinates were also standing with the same expression at the entrance.
Feng Cang actually held a woman! No matter what, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t believe this. She even suspected that something happened to her eyes. Only when Feng Cang¡¯s figure disappeared from her sight, did she believe that this is true.
¡®Princess hug¡¯! This is a scene that appeared many times in her fantasy. Feng Cang actually princess hugged Murong Qi Qi! Why?! The jealousy in Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart began to turn badly.
Ai, again someone with an unrequited love! Murong Qi Qi looked back at Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s almost crying face. She somewhat pities her. She hopes that this princess has self-knowledge and not be as stupid as Longze Yu Er and Ming Yue Xin. She (MQQ) doesn¡¯t have such a good temper......
At this point, even Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t realize that her cid heart has some changes towards Feng Cang.
Feng Cang like a wind brought Murong Qi Qi to Tingsong Building where he lives. After carefully putting Murong Qi Qi down, he grabbed Jin Mo to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Jin Mo, check quickly for wangfei. Qing Qing doesn¡¯t feel well. Is she sick?¡±
Towards Feng Cang bringing Murong Qi Qi to Tingsong Building, Jin Mo was extremely surprised.
This is Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®personal ce¡¯. In the whole capital, only four people can enter Nan Lin wangfu¡¯s Tingsong Building. Now, not only did he let Murong Qi Qi in, but also let her live here. He even emptied his most loved third floor, devoted to let Murong Qi Qi live there. How can Murong Qi Qi be able to ept such love!
Jin Mo felt that Feng Cang dote on Murong Qi Qi too much. From the chasing that night to this Tingsong Building, the doting Feng Cang showed to Murong Qi Qi is something Jin Mo never saw. This girl has ordinary looks. How did she bewilder Feng Cang to this point? This question has rooted in Jin Mo¡¯s heart.
Although Jin Mo doesn¡¯t like Murong Qi Qi, but as a doctor he still carefully checked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pulse.
He didn¡¯t find anything out of ordinary. Jin Mo¡¯s expression turned ugly and stood up.
¡°How is it?¡±
Feng Cang anxiously came forward.
¡°Nothing is wrong with wangfei.¡±
Facing Feng Cang, Jin Mo couldn¡¯t get angry, so he can only press his anger down.
¡°Really?¡±
Feng Cang somewhat didn¡¯t believe it.
Just now Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was obviously bad. Can it be that Jin Mo has prejudice against Murong Qi Qi and that¡¯s why he won¡¯t check carefully? It¡¯s just that he knows Jin Mo¡¯s personality. Although this man¡¯s mouth is somewhat sharp, but his skills are good. His (JM) character is also good, otherwise he also won¡¯t let Jin Mo stay by his side for so long.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m really fine!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang taking it as real, Murong Qi Qi quickly exined.
¡°Just now I suddenly feel dizzy. Now I¡¯m fine......¡±
¡°It¡¯s fortunate that Qing Qing is feeling well!¡±
Murong Qi Qi is fine, Feng Cang finally was assured. Seeing this, Jin Mo even felt even more injustice for his wangye.
Even he as an outsider saw clearly Feng Cang¡¯s care towards Murong Qi Qi, but he didn¡¯t think that Murong Qi Qi will pretend to be sick to trick Feng Cang! It¡¯s not like she didn¡¯t see Feng Cang¡¯s worried face. Can it be that teasing people like this, she is very happy?
Jin Mo felt injustice for Feng Cang. He felt that Feng Cang is inside the matter, has been bewildered by Murong Qi Qi and love carried his mind away. It¡¯s obviously such a simple trick, but he (FC) didn¡¯t see through Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®falseness¡¯!
Jin Mo¡¯s expression was very ugly. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi was also very scary. Sensing the enmity from Jin Mo, Murong Qi Qi stuck her tongue out behind Feng Cang¡¯s back.
This person, really! At any rate, she should call him senior brother, he actually didn¡¯t give her face, making her see his ugly expression all the way and just now even threw an ugly expression at her.
Did she not just only stab him before? Why is he so small minded and till now still hold a grudge?
Really don¡¯t know if he is intentional or what? Everyone can see that just now; she was just pretending to have a headache. He this evil doctor actually didn¡¯t see it. It seems that this senior brother really don¡¯t have a bit of humanity. Really don¡¯t know how master choose him in the past!
Murong Qi Qi sticking her tongue out, made Jin Mo surprised for a moment. His expression sunk even more. This woman, from the beginning, she didn¡¯t seem usual. He needs to keep an eye on her. If she has some ill intention towards Feng Cang, he will not her get away with it!
Not long after Feng Cang returned to his country, Wanyan Lie¡¯s decree came. The content is nothing more than to rest well. Three dayster, he will hold a banquet for him and Murong Qi Qi. With the decree came all kinds of jewelries. Those were for Murong Qi Qi.
A new master came to wangfu. All the servants have been called to outside of Tingsong Building. The one leading was wangfu¡¯s housekeeper Feng Qi.
Towards this new wangfei, the people couldn¡¯t stop the curiosity in their hearts. All of them heard some of the rumors, but today they saw the care wangye showed wangfei. They felt that Murong Qi Qi was even more mysterious.
What kind of person can grab Feng Cang¡¯s heart and let wangye brought her to Tingsong Building?
Tingsong Building was great general Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue¡¯s love nest. Later it became Feng Cang¡¯s personal ce. In this fu, aside from Ji Xiang, Ru Yi, Jin Mo and housekeeper Feng Qi, no one can enter Tingsong Building. Even princess Bao Zhu didn¡¯t get in once, not to mention those eight previous wangfei.
After waiting for quite a while, did Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qie out of Tingsong Building.
Feng Cang is still that devilish beauty dressed in white without a trace of dust. And Murong Qi Qi was wearing a light pink dress. She was smiling and gracefully stood in front of everyone. Only Jin Mo was standing with an ugly expression at the side. From time to time, his eyes will sweep over Murong Qi Qi as if he has a great hostility towards Murong Qi Qi.
¡°From this day on, she is benwang¡¯s wangfei. In this fu, her words are benwang¡¯s6 words. Who dares to slight her, don¡¯t me benwang for being ruthless!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Feng Cangmanding like this made everyonee to an understanding. It seems that this time wangye really dotes on this new wangfei. That why he gave her the same right as him. They hope that this new wangfei has a good temper, is easy to get along and don¡¯t have a weird personality!
¡°Wangfei, this is the wangfu¡¯s ount book and also the ounting books of the shops under wangye¡¯s name.¡±
With a female master, Feng Qi surrendered his timely power and let people bring the thick stack of ount books.
¡°No need!¡±
Looking at those thick ount books, Murong Qi Qi waved her hand. Although she came to form a marriage alliance, but they didn¡¯t have the wedding yet, so she isn¡¯t Nan Lin wangfei. She can¡¯t do this ¡®taking over power¡¯. Besides, Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai are under her watch, where would she get the time to do these?
¡°How this wangfu was in the past is how this wangfu will be in the future. Make the best use of everything. Everyone can do your duty at the best of your abilities. I believe that the people under wangye will not do things like stealing and lying.¡±
Bing a wangfei, but not immediately take power, made Feng Qi has a new understanding of this wangfei. Before he thought that Murong Qi Qi bing the wangfei, she will definitely manage the household. He didn¡¯t expect that she let everything like how it was and wash her hands off managing. It seems that this new wangfei is very interesting!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®make the best use of everything, everyone can do your duty at the best of your abilities¡¯, made Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but nod in appreciation. He didn¡¯t expect that this little wangfei also understand the way to the workers¡¯ heart, making him have a new level of respect for her!
When Wanyan Bao Zhu learned that Feng Cang arranged Tingsong Building for Murong Qi Qi, her heart immediately rmed.
She knew Feng Cang for so many years, Feng Cang never allowed her into Tingsong Building. Now a Murong Qi Qi appeared, he immediately let her into Tingsong Building. What does this show? Could it be that Cang gege really fell in love with that woman?
In order to figure out what is in Feng Cang¡¯s mind, Wangyan Bao Zhu smilingly walked to Feng Cang after he arranged everything.
¡°Cang gege, the pce banquet three dayster, you must bring Murong sister, yo! Imperial grandmother went to pray for a year. The day after tomorrow she wille back. By then you must let imperial grandmother take a good look at Murong sister!¡±
Hearing Wanyan Bao Zhu mention the empress dowager, Feng Cang¡¯s expression changed and changed back quickly.
¡°I know. It¡¯ste. I and your imperial cousin inw is also tired. You go back first! Servant, send princess out!¡±
After he finished, Feng Cang pulled Murong Qi Qi back into Tingsong Building.
Being refused by Feng Cang, Wanyan Bao Zhu stood alone for a long time. Her eyes have been spinning the whole time. Although in the past, Feng Cang also didn¡¯t like talking, but he has never made her embarrassed like now. What happened with Cang gege?
After she couldn¡¯t see Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s sour face anymore, Murong Qi Qiughed out loud: ¡°Wangye talking like this to princess, she, a little girl will be sad!¡±
¡°Qing Qing, she is older than you. She is no longer a little girl! Besides, I only care about Qing Qing¡¯s heart. Others have nothing to do with me.¡±
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi and smelled the fragrance of her hair.
Since, the two people got closer in the carriage because of xiang chest, Feng Cang seize every opportunity to have ¡®body contact¡¯. Although he only can hold her small hands and put his hand on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small waist, but in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, those are already great progress.
As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. He must strike while the iron is hot and take little wangfei¡¯s heart down.
Feng Cang¡¯s manly breath moved the hair close to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear. Slowly and warm, making Murong Qi Qi very itchy. Murong Qi Qi moved her neck a bit, but didn¡¯t expect that when she turned her head, her ear touched something soft. She looked and it turned out to be Feng Cang¡¯s lips.
Immediately, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned red. She quickly shed and stood at the other side. She looked at Feng Cang and coughed twice embarrassingly: ¡°Wangye, I¡¯ll go clean up the room......¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to answer, Murong Qi Qi rushed up the floor.
¡°Hehe......¡±
Feng Cang stood alone and looked how Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure disappeared from his sight.
Just now he clearly saw the redness on her face which spread till her ears. Pinkish, like flower budsing to bloom. It seemed that his little wangfei is not only sensitive but also very shy. Such an appearance making people couldn¡¯t help but dote on.
But, just thinking about the empress dowager that Wanyan Bao Zhu mentioned, Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face turned dark.
If Dongfang Lan knows that he wants to marry Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, she will treat it severely without listening to excuses. How should he face empress dowager¡¯s disapproval without letting Murong Qi Qi suffer even a bit? This mater is really not easy......
Feng Cang¡¯s guess was confirmed two dayster. The originally went to pray empress dowager Dongfang Lan came back from Gui Yun Temple. Immediately, someone told her the news of Feng Cang marrying Murong Qi Qi. The moment she heard that her grandson will marry Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, Dongfang Lan expression immediately turned dark.
Everyone knows that empress dowager¡¯s daughter and son-inw died at Yandang Mountain, died at Murong Tai¡¯s hands. Now Feng Cang actually brought the enemy¡¯s daughter back. What will Dongfang Lan think?
¡°Is the wedding already held?¡±
In the end, she is an empress dowager and experienced many storms. One question and she asked the key of the matter.
¡°Answering empress dowager, still hasn¡¯t. Emperor¡¯s meaning is to wait till youe back from praying and let you host Nan Lin wang¡¯s wedding. But, wangye arranged princess Zhao Yang into Tingsong Building......¡±
The gentle beauty sitting in front of Dongfang Lan is crown prince Wanyan Hong¡¯s crown princess Yu Shi Shi. The moment empress dowager returned to the pce, she came early in the morning with imperial grandson Wanyan Jie to pay respect. Conveniently, also told the happenings in the capital to this old madam.
¡°Tingsong Building?¡±
After hearing this, Dongfang Lan¡¯s frown became deeper.
Since her daughter and son-inw died, Feng Cang upied that ce for fifteen years. Aside from people close to him, even she, this imperial grandmother hasn¡¯t entered it. He went so far as to arrange Murong Qi Qi there? It seems that this matter is somewhat difficult to handle.
But fortunately, the wedding hasn¡¯t been held. There¡¯s still room to maneuver. In her eyes this wedding is not conclusive yet. Murong Tai destroyed her daughter and son-inw. Now he sends a daughter to destroy her grandson? No matter what, she won¡¯t agree to this matter!
¡°As long there¡¯s no wedding, she is not Cang er¡¯s wangfei, she is not aijia¡¯s granddaughter inw!¡±
Chapter 66 A gang of butterflies (2)
Chapter 66 A gang of butterflies (2)
After hearing Dongfang Lan¡¯s words, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart finally rxed. She shook Dongfang Lan¡¯s hand and acted spoiled: ¡°Imperial grandmother, this matter has nothing to do with Cang gege1. Everything is because that damned Longze Yu forced that woman on Cang gege. You can¡¯t get angry at Cang gege!¡±
¡°Aijia2 knows. Aijia is aware of the situation!¡±
How could Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s little trick escape Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes? It¡¯s just that in the past, she had promised Feng Cang that he can decide on his own marriage, so now she can¡¯t help Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Although she had promised previously, but if Feng Cang wanted to marry Murong Qi Qi, no matter what, Dongfang Lan won¡¯t agree. The enemy¡¯s daughter cannot enter Feng family. This is her bottom line!
Three dayster, the banquet was held as scheduled. When Murong Qi Qi went down Tingsong Building and saw Feng Cang, who was wearing all white, waiting downstairs, her ears couldn¡¯t help but be red.
Since the day the two inadvertently had ¡®intimate contact¡¯, Murong Qi Qi somewhat deliberately avoided Feng Cang.
Even though she didn¡¯t understand the matters of love, but she still could understand Feng Cang¡¯s haw fruit-like eyes. The feeling of a deer rambling in her heart is a first for her but it also let her be somewhat distraught.

In the past life, adopted father taught her many things. Whether it was martial arts, business management or foreignnguages and he even passed the organization to her, but in the end, adopted father didn¡¯t teach her how to grasp her feelings.
In this regard, adopted father himself was a loser, which made adopted mother leave him. That¡¯s why he also couldn¡¯t teach her anything. He only told her that she needs to follow her heart.
Because of those words, she had rejected her adopted big brother. Originally, she had thought that even without love, the two¡¯s friendship wouldst forever. She didn¡¯t expect that adopted big brother would fly into a rage out of humiliation. At the most critical time, he gave her a fatal blow......
Now Feng Cang¡¯s eyes are looking at her the same way as how adopted big brother looked at her then. It¡¯s just that adopted big brother¡¯s eyes were more overbearing, full of possessiveness and inside Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were sweenesst, doting and indulgent.
What should she do? Murong Qi Qi was somewhat worried. She didn¡¯t understand feelings and also didn¡¯t understand love. However, the pain of betrayal from someone close, till this day, she remembered.
Once, she had trusted her adopted brother so much and saw him as the closest person to her in this world next to adopted father. The two had grown up together. Learned martial arts together and learned together behind adopted father. She once thought that such days would continue on forever, but she never expected that the result would be like that......
Don¡¯t know if those enemies of her, if they find out that the ¡®witch¡¯ of the ck and white world had in the end, died at the hands of her adopted brother, would theyugh so hard till they lose their teeth?!
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi in a daze, Feng Cang went forward and wrapped her small hand into his palm. He has never seen Murong Qi Qi like this before ¨C acting like a flower bud inside a wind- vulnerable and delicate, making people unable to stop themselves from taking her into their embrace to protect her well.
¡°Wangye3, let¡¯s go!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked up and smiled. It¡¯s just that the smile was so aloof that it made Feng Cang feel even more heartache. What had she experienced before? Who made her be like this? It seems that he needs to investigate her past well......
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
The way Feng Cang looked at Murong Qi Qi turned even more sympathetic. She is his people. He can ignore the matters of the past, but from now on and even in the future, he will stay at her side! Forever!
The pce of Bei Zhou looked majestic. Although it wasn¡¯t as beautiful and exquisite as Xi Qi¡¯s pce, but it showed dignity. Here was also the former Qin country¡¯s pce. Ever since twenty-five years ago, when Qin country was split into three ¨C bing Xi Qi, Nan Feng and Bei Zhou, people would use former Qin to refer to the empire that disappeared.
¡°Nan Lin wang arrived! Princess Zhao Yang arrived!¡±
A thin and long voice went through theyers of the pce and spread into Taiji Hall.
After hearing that Feng Cang had arrived, the people inside Taiji Hall unconsciously looked to one side, wanting to know what kind of wangfei4 that Feng Cang, who hadn¡¯t appeared for a long time, had brought from Xi Qi.
Although Murong Qi Qi had already been in Yan Capital for three days, Feng Cang had protected her very well. Aside from Wanyan Bao Zhu, who had seen Murong Qi Qi and was chased out, the others were rejected with the excuse that the journey was very tiring and she needed to rest.
Crown princess Yu Shi Shi was somewhat nervous. She couldn¡¯t help but straighten her skirt. This action fell into Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes. His face couldn¡¯t help but reveal a sarcastic smile: ¡°Beloved fei, till now, you are still unable to forget him?¡±
Hearing Wanyan Hong¡¯s strange voice, Yu Shi Shi raised her head. Seeing the ruthlessness in Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes, her heart startled. She quickly smiled: ¡°Your highness, what are you saying?¡±
¡°Beloved consoert.......¡±
Wanyan Hong took Yu Shi Shi into his embrace. His big hand fiercely pinched her waist, so painful that Yu Shi Shi¡¯s tears almost fell out.
¡°Beloved consort seemed to have forgotten that you are already someone¡¯s wife and mother. Could it be that this crown prince didn¡¯t put enough effort, that¡¯s why beloved consort is distracted by seeing your old lover and forgetting your identity? It seems that this crown prince needs to take good care of you tonight and let beloved fei remember who is your heaven!¡±
The moment Wanyan Hong¡¯s words fell, Yu Shi Shi immediately paled. Thinking of that ¡®taking good care¡¯, Yu Shi Shi couldn¡¯t help but shudder. Could it be that tonight will be a nightmare again?
¡°Beloved consort, don¡¯t cry in front of this crown prince like that. This crown prince hasn¡¯t died yet.¡±
There¡¯s a smile on Wanyan Hong¡¯s face. With his lips against Yu Shi Shi, he whispered: ¡°Even dying, this crown prince will take you, lest you make this crown prince wear a green hat. Don¡¯t you think that this is alright?¡±
Green hat: being cheated on by one¡¯s wife
¡°Your highness, your highness......¡±
The pain on her waist almost made Yu Shi Shi screamed out in pain.
¡°Smile! Smile for this crown prince!¡±
Seeing the pain on Yu Shi Shi¡¯s smiling face, Wanyan Hong smiled more recklessly.
¡°Smile for this crown prince. Otherwise, this crown prince wouldn¡¯t mind let Jie er5e watch tonight.......¡±
Wanyan Jie is their son
¡°No!¡±
Although the pain was unbearable, but Yu Shi Shi put on a smiling face. Although there were tears in her eyes, but she endured and forced her tears back.
¡°That¡¯s how you do it!¡±
Just as Wanyan Hong released his hand, Feng Cang entered with Murong Qi Qi into Taiji Hall. The man is a devilish beauty. The woman is a well-behaved and pleasant person. They slowly walked in and seemed well matched.
Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor Wanyan Lie sat on the dragon throne. After seeing that Feng Cang looked very happy, he exempted them from kneeling.
¡°Cang er, quickly take princess Zhao Yang to a seat!¡±
It seemed that Wanyan Lie really doted on this nephew! Murong Qi Qi followed Feng Cang and sat down. Numerous eyes followed them. People continuously looked at Murong Qi Qi. Some looked at the scene, some sighed, some feltpassion, some had malicious thoughts......
From all of these eyes, Murong Qi Qi obviously sensed one with resentment. She raised her head. So, it turned that it¡¯s from a beauty sitting not far away.
That beauty was wearing a golden crown and dressed in a pink dress. Her facial features were soft. Under a beautiful pair of willow eyebrows was a pair of peach-shaped eyes full of feelings. It¡¯s just that inside those peach-shaped eyes was resentment, as if Murong Qi Qi owed her a life.
At the beauty¡¯s side sat a man with an aquiline nose. From the look of his purple gold crown and the silver dragon embroidered on his robe, he should be this empire¡¯s crown prince Wanyan Hong. To be able to sit next to him, that woman is certainly the crown princess. It¡¯s just that she had met the crown princess for the first time. Why is she looking at her like that?
After a minute, Murong Qi Qi understood Yu Shi Shi¡¯s meaning because her eyes stayed only a moment on Murong Qi Qi and then fell onto Feng Cang.
It seemed that there is one more butterfly, ah! There¡¯s already a Wanyan Bao Zhu. Now there¡¯s another crown princess. Really don¡¯t know how many people this wangye has attracted......
Men, if they are ugly, it¡¯s a hinder to the eyes. If they are handsome, although it¡¯s a feast to the eyes, but it also attracts bees and butterflies and stirs up trouble. Just those small flies and mosquitoes are already troublesome things!
Attracts bees and butterflies: attracts the opposite sex.
Murong Qi Qi turned her head and looked at the perfect side view of Feng Cang¡¯s face. High nose, red beautiful lips, curved chin. She sighed again in her heart.
Devilish beauty, ah! Really a devilish beauty, ah! Could it be that in the future, she needs to let him wear a veil while going out? Using a veil to hide that devilish beautiful face, it may be better. It¡¯s just that going out using a veil, then wouldn¡¯t it be the same as Arab women?
Inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind immediately emerged a picture of Feng Cang wearing a veil. Murong Qi Qi shook her head. This man has a pair of flirtatious eyes. Just those eyes will be able to take away someone¡¯s soul. No matter what, the aura of such devilish beauty cannot be covered......
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Sensing the difference in Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang turned. Seeing her prop her chin and stare at him, Feng Cang¡¯s phoenix eyes smiled. His lips turned up.
¡°Can it be that Qing Qing is intoxicated by my gorgeous appearance? If Qing Qing likes to look, when we go back, you can look as much as you want!¡±
Such intimatenguage made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face be red.
Really, is it not ancient times here? Shouldn¡¯t ancient people be abiding by the etiquettes and act reserved? This wangye actually flirted with her under the watch of such arge crowd. Fortunately, the people sitting beside her were located far away and couldn¡¯t hear. Otherwise, she would¡¯ve wished for the ground to create a hole and swallow her.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi blush, Feng Cangughed out loud. A heartyughter echoed inside Taiji Hall, making everyone look towards them.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Seeing them be the focus of attention, Murong Qi Qi lowered her head till her chest. She swore that she would never do any more stupid things like stare at him again, lest get teased by him.
The ¡®sweet interaction¡¯ between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi surprised the people around them.
Who here didn¡¯t know that this wangye was temperamental? Usually he looked polite, but always kept a not far and not close distance from people. If you angered him, he would immediately fall out with that person. Everyone had seen his ruthless side, but no one had ever seen himugh so heartily before.
Feng Cang¡¯sughter made Yu Shi Shi¡¯s eyes be obsessed. How long has it been since she saw himugh like that? It seems that it¡¯s been fifteen years! Ever since princess Ming Yue and great general had died at Yandang Mountain, he hadn¡¯tughed like that again. Why is it that when he¡¯s together with that woman, he wouldugh so happily......
No longer tolerating Yu Shi Shi¡¯s memories, Wanyan Hong once again attacked her waist.
¡°Ah!¡±
Yu Shi Shi came out of her daze in a panic. Her head heavily hit Wanyan Hong¡¯s chest.
¡°If you look any longer, when we go back, do you believe that this crown prince will dig out your eyes?¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s dense voice sounded next to Yu Shi Shi¡¯s ear.
¡°Or do you want me to handle you here in this pce?¡±
¡°No, no!¡±
Yu Shi Shi shook her head anxiously. She understood Wanyan Hong¡¯s personality. He¡¯s someone who would do what he says. Besides, he would do it to the extreme. If it¡¯s really in the pce......then she doesn¡¯t need to live anymore.
¡°Hehe, since you don¡¯t want, then this crown prince will love you dearly when we go back,¡± Wanyan Hong whispered in Yu Shi Shi¡¯s ear. ¡°Your childhood sweetheart already has a new love. Looking at them, don¡¯t you feel very sad, ah?¡±
¡°No, no......¡±
Yu Shi Shi lowered her head and suppressed the sadness in her heart. Her eyes rolled a few times. She fought for a long time, but in the end, a tear still fell out.
¡°Zeze!¡±
Wanyan Hong stretched out a finger and let the tear fall onto it. He tasted it.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t because he (FC) couldn¡¯t, this crown prince would have thought that he¡¯s Jie er¡¯s biological father!¡±
Hearing Wanyan Hong question their son¡¯s parentage, Yu Shi Shi opened her eyes. Tears were in her beautiful eyes. Inside the timidity showed strength.
¡°Your highness, if you still question Jie er¡¯s parentage, chenqie6 is willing to prove it with death!¡±
Yu Shi Shi said it so seriously. Wanyan Hong¡¯s hand gradually rxed. He stared straight into her beautiful eyes. A momentter, heughed.
¡°Beloved consort, benwang7 was joking with you. You take it as real! Of course, Jie er is this crown prince¡¯s son. In the future, he will be Bei Zhou¡¯s crown prince. How can this crown prince not believe you?! This crown prince still wants to love you for a hundred years and have many children and grandchildren. How can this crown prince be willing to let you die......¡±?
Not willing to let her die, but making her everyday life more painful than death! Yu Shi Shi bit her lips and remained silent.
The couple¡¯s loving appearance sitting opposite her deeply stung her eyes. If it hadn¡¯t gone wrong, then the one sitting next to him now would¡¯ve been her. Why is fate ying like this with people? Why......
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s interactions made the sitting high up Wanyan Lie very happy. While he was stroking his beard, he nodded smilingly. Being able to see his nephew¡¯sughter, he, as an uncle, was also very happy. If Murong Qi Qi can give birth to a son or daughter for Feng Cang, then he would be even happier!
Seeing that Wanyan Lie had a good impression of Murong Qi Qi, consort De, who was sitting next to Wanyan Lie, immediately gave a lip service: ¡°Emperor, see how good they look together! This princess Zhao Yang is someone people will love. She and Nan Lin wang really are a match made from heaven!¡±
An emperor can have four consorts: Gui (noble), Xian (virtuous), Shu (kind and gentle) and De (moral). They are ranked in the fourth ce below the empress, the imperial noble consort (huangguifei) and the noble consorts (guifei).
¡°Right, right, what beloved consort said is right! Zhen8 also feels that princess Zhao Yang is very kind looking!¡±
Wanyan Lie and Lin Ke Xin¡¯s dialogue went into the empress Li Bing¡¯s ears. She couldn¡¯t help herself from humphing coldly: ¡°Consort De said she is so good, but she must also have the blessing to survive the wedding night!¡±
¡°Big sister, what you said is not right. We all are hoping for Nan Lin wang¡¯s well-being. Howe your words don¡¯t seem right, ah?! Can it be that big sister doesn¡¯t wish for your niece-inw to be well and to continue Feng family¡¯s line?¡±
Consort De wasn¡¯t scared of the empress¡¯s provocation. The other party had a crown prince, but she not only had second prince Wanyan Yi but also had fifth prince Wanyan Kang. Although the other party¡¯s son was the crown prince, but her Yi er¡¯s reputation was very good outside.
It¡¯s well known that the crown prince didn¡¯t have any talent or virtues. Half of the old court officials supported second prince Wanyan Yi. In whose hands this throne will fall to is not known yet!
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s cynicism made Li Bing so angry that she gritted her teeth. It happened that what she had just said was also heard by Wanyan Lie. Now Wanyan Lie was looking at her with dissatisfied eyes.
No matter how strong Li Bing was, in order to live and survive well in this pce, getting the emperor¡¯s favor was the most important thing.
In recent years, those foxes hooked Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. Although she¡¯s the empress, but that was in name only. Wanyan Lie hadn¡¯te at her ce for half a year already. Today, if she made Wanyan Lie angry, not only would she lose the emperor¡¯s heart, she¡¯s afraid that she would also lose her position of empress and Wanyan Hong¡¯s position of crown prince.
¡°Emperor, chenqie doesn¡¯t dare! Chenqie didn¡¯t mean it like that! Chenqie is only worried that what had happened previously would happen again. Just now, chenqie looked at this princess Zhao Yang¡¯s appearance. She is indeed someone with much blessings. It seems that chenqie worried too much. There¡¯s a saying, ¡®heaven helps the worthy¡¯. Princess Zhao Yang is a fortunate person!¡±
Wanyan Lie liked hearing these words. He felt that they were exceptionallyfortable to the ears.
¡°What empress said is very well. Zhen saw that Cang er also seems to love this Murong Qi Qi very much. Zhen has never seen such affection from him before. As long as Cang er is happy, nothing matters anymore!¡±
¡°Emperor is right!¡±
The son of heaven has spoken. Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin immediately answered in unison.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Seeing the empress and consort De get along so well, Wanyan Lie was very happy. He couldn¡¯t help but pull the two beauties¡¯ hands and put them together.
¡°Zhen is most pleased to see you two being so harmonious!¡±
Humph! Although Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin may be smiling, but their eyes, full of dissatisfaction, couldn¡¯t deceive each other.
Just at this moment, a shout came: ¡°Empress dowager has arrived!¡±
Two beautiful women escorted a white-haired woman.
Wanyan Lie personally went to receive Dongfang Lan.
¡°Empress mother, why did youe?¡±
¡°Aijia heard that Cang er has returned and specificallye to see him!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s appearance attracted the attention of Murong Qi Qi. This empress dowager was dressed in a ck gold phoenix robe. In her hand was a dragon head walking stick. Her white hair was towering with a silver phoenix hairpin. On the phoenix feathers were soy bean sized rubies. It¡¯s gorgeous but also didn¡¯t lose dignity.
There were many rumors about this empress dowager. Most of them said that she had never lost to a man. When she was younger, she rode a horse with a sword in her hands, apanying Wanyan Zhi on wars from the north to the south. But now, she got old and became the empress dowager. She had retired into the pce and slowly faded from the public.
It¡¯s said that year when the three families split up Qin dynasty, the first one toe forward with the idea and put it into action was the founding emperor of Bei Zhou, Wanyan Zhi. And the one who had fueled and induced the will for this great general to rebel was the woman behind him, now the empress dowager Dongfang Lan.
The empress dowager had arrived. Everyone immediately bowed respectfully. Even Feng Cang¡¯s attitude towards Dongfang Lan was very respectful.
¡°Cang er,e here quickly. Let Aijia take a look at you!¡±
When she sat down, Dongfang Lan immediately waved her hands to let Feng Cange to her side. She narrowed her eyes, looked for a very long time, before she finally nodded.
¡°Not bad! Didn¡¯t lose weight, instead gained some weight! Before, Aijia was worried because the journey to Xi Qi is very far. Now it seems that it¡¯s not that bad!¡±
¡°Grandmother, grandson is like this because of princess Zhao Yang¡¯s diligent care during the trip.¡±
Seeing that Dongfang Lan was deliberately ignoring Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang quickly put her in the spotlight.
¡°Oh?¡±
Dongfang Lan finally experienced Feng Cang¡¯s protective side towards Murong Qi Qi. She had just ignored Murong Qi Qi for a moment and he already became protective. It seemed that Feng Cang really put Murong Qi Qi into his heart. The matter would now be difficult to handle.
Dongfang Lan calmly looked at Murong Qi Qi. Her voice revealed dignity. Her pronunciation was very clear: ¡°This is......princess Zhao Yang Mu-rong-Qi-Qi?¡±
Chapter 67 The empress dowager’s harsh conditions (1)
Chapter 67 The empress dowager¡¯s harsh conditions (1)
¡°Wishing empress dowager good health!¡±
Murong Qi Qi paid her respects to Dongfang Lan ording to how Feng Yu had taught her.
Murong Qi Qi could sense the hostility Dongfang Lan had against her, which was rted to the grudges of the previous generation. She, more or less, had an understanding of it. So she cannot let the other party find a thorn in her etiquette!
¡°En!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s etiquette was at its ce. The gestures were generous without losing nobility. Dongfang Lan couldn¡¯t pick any faults. Therefore, she nodded slightly so as to show her satisfaction.
¡°You are a child who knows etiquette. You¡¯ve been trained well!¡±
¡°Thanking empress dowager!¡±
Although she couldn¡¯t pick out any faults, but this didn¡¯t mean that Dongfang Lan would let Murong Qi Qi off. However, she¡¯s an empress dowager. If she really made matters difficult for Murong Qi Qi, not only would she offend Xi Qi, but also let people make a controversy of it and say she is small-minded. Fortunately, she prepared earlier. That¡¯s why she brought along these two beauties.
Among these two beauties, Murong Qi Qi has seen one. It¡¯s Wanyan Bao Zhu, Bei Zhou¡¯s princess and Bei Zhou¡¯s flower. The other is the prime minister¡¯s granddaughter. People call her the most talented woman of Bei Zhou, Mu Yu Die.
The two both have good feelings towards Feng Cang. Mu Yu Die was twenty years old and hadn¡¯t married yet. She was bent on waiting for Feng Cang. Since Dongfang Lan brought them here, it¡¯s apparent that she didn¡¯t want to make Murong Qi Qi look good.
¡°I heard that princess came from a schrly family. Don¡¯t know what kind of books princess usually reads?¡±
The one asking is Mu Yu Die. She has a white face, dignified features. Her body has a schrly aura. Plus, the fact that she was wearing white, she looked like an orchid on a mountain stream. Very elegant.
However, relying on the fact that her grandfather is the prime minister, Mu Yu Die¡¯s eyes has a hint of harsh aristocratic pride, ruining her overall beauty and making it her w.
The other party was acting so aggressive in front of so many people. The empress dowager must¡¯ve given her permission. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know which rumors about her these people know. But in a situation where she doesn¡¯t know the other party¡¯s bottom line, going head to head isn¡¯t a good idea.
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi answered somewhat ¡®cowardly¡¯: ¡°Woman with no talent is virtuous. I only know a few words.¡±
After Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words fell, there wasughter. The one whoughed is none other than Mu Yu Die. She had long heard that this Murong Qi Qi was a rubbish of ignorance. Originally, she wanted to embarrass her today; let her be a fool in public. She didn¡¯t expect that she (MQQ) would admit it all on her own.
Know only a few words? Then, doesn¡¯t this mean that she is no different from farmers?! How can such a person be worthy of Feng Cang? She is not even worthy to clean Feng Cang¡¯s shoes!
¡°What, does thisdy feel that what I¡¯m saying isn¡¯t right?¡±
Seeing the sarcasm in the other party¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi acted as if she didn¡¯t understand. Her eyes were clear and her smile was like rainbow. It¡¯s so clean, it¡¯s refreshing.
¡°Before the departure, my mother repeatedly told me that women without talent were virtuous. Instead of reading those poetry and literature, it¡¯s better to learn how to manage the house, how to be a qualified wife and how to obey the husband and teach the children. After marrying, obey the husband. Only husband is my sky. Should listen to husband in every way. Can it be that you think this isn¡¯t right?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Dongfang Lan feel veryfortable. Three obeys and four virtues are the essential qualities of a woman. Of course, women must see their husband as the sky. Why does she need to understand so much? It¡¯s more practical and reliable to be good to the husband and teach the children! It seemed that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mother isn¡¯t a befuddled person and taught her well.
Three obeys and four virtues: Confucian moral injunctions for woman. Obey three men: father, husband and son. Plus, they need to have four virtues: morality, physical charm, proper in speech and efficiency in needlework.
It¡¯s very strange. When Dongfang Lan was young, she was a sloppy woman. She was not bound by etiquette. But now that she is old, she began to put importance on these and also asked the same from others. That¡¯s why she was quite satisfied with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. It could be considered that she passed on the virtues.
¡°Well said! Indeed, needs to be like that!¡±
Dongfang Lan nodded. Seeing Murong Qi Qi standing well-behaved there; her facial features are verymon without a fox beauty, the dissatisfaction in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart calmed a bit.
Her looks are ordinary. She looked like she knew her ce well. These are alright. If she wasn¡¯t Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, she might have nodded at this marriage.
Feng Cang felt somewhat surprised with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer.
With his understanding of Murong Qi Qi, she wasn¡¯t simply as someone who only knew a few words......Looking at her again, Murong Qi Qi looked humble and full of humility. Feng Cang almostughed out loud. He was worried that she wouldn¡¯t pass, how could he forget that his little wangfei1 is someone who eats people?
It¡¯s just that Mu Yu Die provoking Murong Qi Qi at such an asion made him very unhappy.
It seemed that he needs to go have a hearty talk with prime minister Mu. A woman staying at home at such an old age, she might have forgotten the etiquette. It¡¯s time to find a husband for her!
Dongfang Lan¡¯s appreciation made Mu Yu Die¡¯s heart rmed. She was thinking of poetry and wanted to show off her talents, but she had forgotten that empress dowager was mostpliant with these ¡®traditional virtues¡¯.
No wonder, the empress dowager knew that sh liked Feng Cang, but she never nodded. Could it be that this was the reason? Before, she was thinking of how to show off her literary grace and definitely suppress Murong Qi Qi. She didn¡¯t expect that she moved a stone to stub her own feet! It seemed that she needs to hide her talent and be respectful. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to enter Nan Lin wangfu2 in this life, not to mention to be together with Feng Cang!
Moved a stone to stub her own feet: make a move which turned bad for oneself
Wanyan Bao Zhu was very happy seeing Mu Yu Die suffer defeat.
Everyone in Yanjing capital knew that she and Mu Yu Die werepetitors. Both liked Feng Cang. Although she¡¯s a princess, but Mu Yu Die was always on top of her because of her virtues and talents. This made Wanyan Bao Zhu very unhappy. She bore with it for a long time. Now she finally saw Mu Yu Die be embarrassed. Naturally, Wanyan Bao Zhu was happy.
Mu Yu Die was tactfully retorted by Murong Qi Qi, so Wanyan Bao Zhu came up with another question. She isn¡¯t mindless as Mu Yu Die. These past few days, Wanyan Bao Zhu has been reading information about Murong Qi Qi. She thought for a long time beforeing up with this question. It will surely embarrass Murong Qi Qi!
¡°To be able to break the rule and be bestowed the title of princess, big sister must¡¯ve extraordinary talents. Don¡¯t know which level of martial arts did big sister reach?¡±
¡°Martial arts. I don¡¯t know martial arts,¡± Murong Qi Qi answered honestly.
After hearing this, Wanyan Bao Zhu pretended to be surprised and put her hand before her mouth.
¡°Doesn¡¯t have any martial arts? Then, isn¡¯t that a rubbish? Aiya, bengong3 is straightforward, big sister don¡¯t take it too hard!¡±
Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but frown at Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words. He has never had other ideas just because Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t have martial arts. He loves Murong Qi Qi. He loves her for being her and not because of the benefits she can bring him. Those are just added values!
Love shouldn¡¯t be a bargain and also doesn¡¯t need those added gorgeous adornments.
Having this person at his side is better than anything! Besides, he is a man. Protecting his wife and children is something he should do. As long as he loves her, even if Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t know anything, he wouldn¡¯t mind. He decided that his marriage is not the goddamn business of others!
Some of the rumors about Murong Qi Qi had long spread to Yanjing. Now that Murong Qi Qi admitted in public that she didn¡¯t know any martial arts, the officials below couldn¡¯t help but begin to murmur.
Doesn¡¯t have martial arts, doesn¡¯t have literary talent; she doesn¡¯t have anything, but has been promised to Feng Cang. Dongfang Lan was very unsatisfied. Plus, the fact that she saw Feng Cang protectiveness towards Murong Qi Qi and also let her live inside Tingsong Building, the package in her heart was already as big as the sea. She bore with it for a few days just to embarrass Murong Qi Qi today. That¡¯s why Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t stop Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Since Murong Qi Qi admitted in public that she didn¡¯t have any martial arts, Wanyan Bao Zhu raised her chin proudly.
She is already a level four martial artist. Soon, she will enter the blue level five. No matter if it¡¯s ability, family background or appearance, no one could bepared to her. Only she is worthy to be next to Feng Cang. As for Murong Qi Qi who doesn¡¯t have anything, she can only be a rubbish to warm the bed. Where is she eligible to be Nan Lin wangfei?!
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s provocation is like a child¡¯s grudge in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. No matter how beautiful this butterfly is, it also needs the flower to be willing to bloom, ah! What¡¯s the meaning of having an unrequited love? It¡¯s simply a journey where an idiot goddess will grow.
Seeing Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s proud face, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brain moved and thought of a way to make her angry, but it needed Feng Cang¡¯s coordination.
¡°Wangye4, aside from female work, cooking, taking care of the household and a loyal heart, Qi Qi doesn¡¯t know any other thing and also doesn¡¯t have any other thing, will you be dissatisfied with Qi Qi?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t directly answer Wanyan Bao Zhu, instead she looked pale-faced at Feng Cang, acting as if Feng Cang said a ¡®no¡¯, she would bepletely disheartened. That delicate and pitiful appearance made people couldn¡¯t help but love!
¡°Qing Qing, how can benwang5 be dissatisfied with you?!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang immediately showed his attitude. Hee to her side and lovingly grabbed her hand.
¡°Can it be that Qing Qing forgot about the assassination night? If it wasn¡¯t because of Qing Qing took care of benwang without resting, how would benwang recover so fast?! The whole journey, Qing Qing took care of benwang¡¯s necessities of life. Every day, you did it full of dedication and didn¡¯t ck off for a moment. All of this, benwang took in my eyes and remembers in my heart. How is benwang a superficial person?!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi listened to this, her whole body got ayer of goose bumps, but her face showed a look of happiness.
Say she could act, now she feels that Feng Cang can act even more. What is taking care of him without resting? What is taking care of his necessities of life, full of dedication during the whole journey? Howe those words, no matter how you listen to them, would make people think they had an affair......
Just a few words from Feng Cang directly put Wanyan Bao Zhu into the category of ¡®superficial¡¯. Hearing that they were so intimate on the journey made Wanyan Bao Zhu so angry that she stomped her feet. She turned and pulled Dongfang Lan¡¯s sleeves.
¡°Grandmother, see how Cang gege6 is talking!¡±
¡°Cang er7, what did you just say? Did somebody go to assassinate you? When? Did you get injured?!¡±
Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t pay attention to the unhappiness of her granddaughter. Now she is most concerned about Feng Cang¡¯s safety. Once she heard that the only blood left by her beloved daughter had encountered an assassination attempt, Dongfang Lan became anxious.
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Empress mother, it¡¯s like this.¡±
Emperor Wanyan Lie saw that his empress mother got angry, and worried that she would hurt her body from anger, quickly told her what happened.
¡°Zhen8 already sent people to investigate this matter. Empress mother, be assured. Zhen will definitely find the culprit!¡±
When Wanyan Lie said ¡®culprit¡¯, Murong Qi Qi obviously sensed the coldness in Feng Cang. Could it be that he already knew who the culprit was? Why didn¡¯t he say it in public? Or was there another hidden motive?
Previously, Murong Qi Qi had looked at some information about Feng Cang. The information said that because Feng Cang was especially liked by Wanyan Lie, he once had the idea of dethroning the crown prince and let Feng Cang be the crown prince instead.
Although in the end that matter hadn¡¯t seeded, but the rtionship between crown prince Wanyan Hong and Feng Cang became very awkward. It was also said that Wanyan Hong has a deep-rooted hatred towards this Nan Lin wang who took his emperor father¡¯s love. Could this matter be done by the crown prince? But, second prince Wanyan Yi is also a popr contender for the crown prince¡¯s possiton. Maybe he wanted to frame the crown prince......
It seemed that Feng Cang wasn¡¯t as bright as he looked like. Raised in the imperial family and being in such a sensitive position must¡¯ve been really hard on him.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fingertips gently tapped Feng Cang¡¯s palm to let him not think too much. Sensing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s concern, Feng Cang¡¯s heart felt warm. He squeezed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand to let her not worry, but the wordsing out of his mouth were cornier.
¡°Grandmother, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s all thank to princess Zhao Yang taking care of me the whole journey. Speaking of it, she is my lucky star. Since the assassination attempt, benwang was safe after going to live in her tent. No other idents happened after that.¡±
Only now did Dongfang Lan see where the problemy. Originally, she thought that the two were clear as water. She didn¡¯t think that they had actually lived in the same carriage and tent.
Now it¡¯s impossible to return Murong Qi Qi or promise her to another. Besides, Feng Cang already has feelings for Murong Qi Qi. If she forcefully breaks them apart, she fears that Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t agree.
At this point, Dongfang Lan is in a dilemma.
If she agrees, her heart will be troubled because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity. If she opposes, then she will get the name of being a betrayer. After all, Murong Qi Qi came to form a marriage alliance. Said it uglier, she came to chongxi for Feng Cang. She can¡¯t go too overboard. This involves the politics of the two countries.
Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the ¡¯event of great joy¡¯ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery
Moreover, something happened to all of the former women sent to Feng Cang. This time, Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang stayed together for so long, but she is unscathed. Maybe her bazi can suppress the killing in Feng Cang¡¯s bazi......
Bazi: eight characters representing the year, month, day and hour of one¡¯s birth. Every one of them has two characters which form eight characters. A bazi is used in fortune telling.
Could it be that this is fate? Dongfang Lan is not happy and not willing to resign to this fate.
However, Feng family¡¯s bloodline needs to continue. Feng Cang is already twenty-five. Other men at his age already have sons and daughters. Only Feng Cang, while marrying one, he would curse one, making it now that nobody dares to marry him. Could it be that she really needs to let Murong Qi Qi enter Feng family? Let the future children of Feng family have the enemy¡¯s blood in them?
In just a moment, Dongfang Lan thought about a lot. The grandson in front of her, is the grandchild she loves the most. This child lost his parents at ten and also suffered from calctions of others which ruined his body. Very hard, he became an adult, but getting a granddaughter-inw is so difficult.......
Looking at Murong Qi Qi again; her skin is ordinary, her ability is ordinary, everything is ordinary. No matter how she looked at it, Murong Qi Qi is not worthy of Feng Cang. But she has entered Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and also nothing happened to her when she stayed beside Feng Cang. Could it be that it¡¯s enemies who will fall in love with each other?
Dongfang Lan hesitated and was silent for a long time. Only when Wanyan Bao Zhu called her, did shee out of a daze.
¡°Just now, princess said you have a loyal heart. Did aijia9?¡±
Dongfang Lan looked at Murong Qi Qi with sharp eyes.
¡°You didn¡¯t hear wrong.¡±
¡°Then aijia asks you, are you now Xi Qi¡¯s citizen or are you Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen? If there¡¯s conflict between the two countries, on which side will you stand?¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words were very aggressive. Everyone could see that shes making things difficult for Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Answering empress dowager, no matter if it¡¯s Xi Qi or Bei Zhou, they have nothing to do with me.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s magnanimous answer made people breath out loudly. Have nothing to do with her? What does this mean? Dongfang Lan frowned, but unexpectedly, Murong Qi Qi has more to say.
¡°I only stand by wangye¡¯s side. What wangye choose, I¡¯ll choose.¡±
A perfect answer, throwing the ball at Feng Cang. Now Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but love this little woman more! She knows how to stand in the shade of the big tree and throw all the problems to him, let him face them. Does this woman believe in him or does she only find them too troubling?
¡°En,¡± Dongfang Lan nodded. No matter if Murong Qi Qi answered Xi Qi or Bei Zhou, she will leave something for people to use against her. Only answering like this is the best. It seems that she isn¡¯t so stupid after all.
If her heart is really thinking like that and sees Feng Cang as the sky, then Dongfang Lan will be at ease. It¡¯s just that she (DL) doesn¡¯t know if her (MQQ) mouth is saying something, but her heart is thinking otherwise.
She is not a stubborn olddy. She spent one day to get to know about Murong Qi Qi. She (MQQ) is also a pitiful child! It¡¯s just that no matter what, Murong Qi Qi is Murong Tai¡¯s daughter. It¡¯s also a fact that Feng Xie was defeated at Murong Tai¡¯s hands!
For so many years, Dongfang Lan often dreamed about Wanyan Ming Yue. Dreaming about her with Feng Xie carrying their child while standing full of blood in front of her and saying: ¡°Empress mother needs to get revenge for Ming Yue! Needs to get revenge for Ming Yue!¡±
Chapter 68 The empress dowager’s harsh conditions (2)
Chapter 68 The empress dowager¡¯s harsh conditions (2)
That year, after the battle on Yangdang Mountain, Feng Xiemitted suicide by cutting his throat and Ming Yue alsomitted suicide. Together with the child in her belly, the family of three burned into mes. Not even a whole corpse was left.
Every time she thought about her daughter and son-inw¡¯s tragic experience and the unborn grandchild¡¯s pitiful fate, Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart burned with thick hatred. Hatred towards Xi Qi! Hatred towards Murong Tai!
Dongfang Lan knew in her heart that Murong Qi Qi was innocent, but was her Ming Yue also not innocent?! Was her unborn grandchild also not innocent?! In this world, there are no innocent people. There are only people involved in right and wrong. Does it even matter if there are innocent people?!
¡°Princess Zhao Yang saying that, aijia1 can then be at ease. This time¡¯s tournament between the four countries is being held in the Bei four states. I heard that princess¡¯s fourth little sister is a contestant. Since princess¡¯s whole heart is Cang er¡¯s2, then aijia will look forward to princess¡¯s performance at the tournament of the four countries.¡±
In c60, You Yun was mentioned. You Yun is split into sixteen states. Each of the four countries have four states. It¡¯s the ce where the countries connect.
¡°If princess is really protecting Cang er¡¯s interest wholeheartedly, then this time Bei Zhou should get first ce. After Bei Zhou gets first ce, aijia will hold the wedding between princess and Cang er. What does princess think?¡±
It¡¯s old ginger that¡¯s hot. Even Murong Qi Qi wanted to p at Dongfang Lan¡¯s proposal, not to mention Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die.
Old ginger is hotter than a young one: people with experience are more difficult to deal with
Only when Bei Zhou wins first ce, can she and Feng Cang marry. If Bei Zhou doesn¡¯t win, then their marriage would be dashed. Where she came from is where she should go back.
She, Murong Qi Qi, is just a powerless woman without martial arts and without any inner force. She can¡¯t participate in the tournament, but now Dongfang Lan is binding the tournament to her marriage. It¡¯spletely making things difficult for her! It seems that this empress dowager really doesn¡¯t like her!
¡°Grandmother......¡±
¡°Cang er, this is aijia¡¯s biggest concession. Do you understand?¡± not waiting for Feng Cang to continue, Dongfang Lan interrupted him. This was her bottom line. Even if it¡¯s Feng Cang, she can¡¯t help!
That¡¯s right. Her heart was ufortable letting the enemy¡¯s daughter marry her only grandchild from her daughter. This was a very difficult choice for the empress dowager who had lost her beloved daughter. Even if she¡¯s making things difficult for Murong Qi Qi, she also needed to see if Murong Qi Qi was worthy of Feng Cang.
After Feng Cang was interrupted, Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t bear to see his nephew suffer, so he immediately helped him out: ¡°Empress mother, can this matter not be a bit more flexible? Princess Zhao Yang came to form a marriage alliance. This is a matter that all the four countries know about. If we are too harsh, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll affect the rtionship with Xi Qi. Besides, zhen3 sees that this princess is very good and Cang er is also interested in her, why don¡¯t we let them be?! Moreover, princess doesn¡¯t have martial arts, ah......¡±
¡°No!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s plea was like putting oil on fire. Dongfang Lan immediately rejected it. If it wasn¡¯t because she took into consideration that Murong Qi Qi was a princess from Xi Qi who hade to form a marriage alliance, she would have let people beat her out of here. The pain of losing a daughter, a white-haired person sending a ck-haired person away, was not a mattter that others understood!
¡°Aijia doesn¡¯t need a useless granddaughter-inw. Feng family also doesn¡¯t need an ipetent female master. If princess Zhao Yang is ipetent, then please yield!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words spread throughout Taiji Hall. Everyone was silently looking at Murong Qi Qi and waiting for this princess¡¯s reaction. The empress dowager making things difficult was understandable. It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know if this princess would ept or go back to Xi Qi crying......
Just as everyone started waiting, Feng Cang¡¯s cold voice reached everyone¡¯s ears: ¡°Grandmother, if I can¡¯t marry princess Zhao Yang, I will rather stay alone till I die.¡±
¡°You, you......¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made all the anger in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart get stuck in her throat. She almost suffocated. Wanyan Bao Zhu quickly patted Dongfang Lan¡¯s back.
¡°Cang gege4, look how you made imperial grandmother angry like this......¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu hadn¡¯t finished speaking when she felt Feng Cang¡¯s cold re, making her shiver and immediately shut up. How could she have forgotten Feng Cang¡¯s personality?
¡°Cang er, you are really too insensible!¡±
Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t expect that Feng Cang would be so persistent. In this world, is there not every type of women? He actually wants to choose the enemy¡¯s daughter! Is this not wanting to angry her to death?!
¡°Grandmother, my mind is set. Aside from princess Zhao Yang, I will not marry someone else. Moreover, in this life, I will only have her as my woman.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words were not only an oath, it was also his promise towards Murong Qi Qi.
A whole lifetime, one pair of people? Murong Qi Qi looked up at Feng Cang¡¯s firm face. Did he really mean this? Why? Why did he say that? Didn¡¯t all men in this world have three wives and four concubines? In the past, Feng Xie only had princess Ming Yue as his only woman. Besides, he also made a promise on the wedding day, that in this life, he would only have her as his woman. Could it be that Feng Cang inherited Feng Xie¡¯smitment to love?
¡°Very well! Very well!¡±
Dongfang Lan was very angry. Feng Cang actually used that to ckmail her. Really opposing her!
¡°You want to marry her? Alright, hand over your tiger tally and peel off your position of wangye!¡±
tiger-tally
tiger tally
Tiger tally: a two-piece object made in the shape of a tiger, used in ancient China as proof of authority. One half of a tally could be issued to a military officer and this would be matched with the other half when verification was required
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words made everyone shocked. Feng Cang has been in charge of the tiger tally for many years. Now empress dowager is being like this, could she be forcing him to hand over the military power? Moreover, peeling him off his position of wangye5, doesn¡¯t this mean she¡¯s demoting Feng Cang tomoner status?
The empress dowager and Feng Cang¡¯s deadlock made the whole atmosphere be very tense. The officials were staring at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi beside him. They didn¡¯t know what this Nan Lin wang would choose!
Without military power, without the position of wang, he is just a humblemoner who doesn¡¯t have anything. Will Feng Cang, because of this rubbish princess from Xi Qi, give up his high position, wealth and the power he has?
¡°This, I¡¯ve already brought it!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words made Feng Cang chuckle. From his arms, he removed two pieces of a tiger tally.
¡°Without the person I love, what meaning does being in a high position and having brocade garments and jade meals has?!¡±
Brocade garments and jade meals: life of luxury
Seeing Feng Cang really took out the tiger ally, crown prince Wanyan Hong who was watching at one side, aside from being surprised, he was excited. If Feng Cang discarded the military power for a beauty, then he definitely needs to get that military power! Before, Feng Cang relied on the fact that he has the tiger tally in his hand, that¡¯s why Feng Cang didn¡¯t put him in his eyes. If he gets the tiger tally, the first thing he would do is kill Feng Cang!
¡°Little cousin brother, why be so persistent!¡±
Wanyan Hong suppressed, with all his strength, the secret happiness in his voice. However, his eyes kept on staring at the tiger tally in Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
¡°Discarding your power and hurting imperial grandmother¡¯s heart for a beauty; why do you need to be like that?! At this crown prince¡¯s mansion, there are some newly selected beauties. A whileter, this crown prince will let people send them to you. Don¡¯t fight anymore with imperial grandmother!¡±
¡°Hehe......¡±
Feng Cang understood the meaning behind Wanyan Hong¡¯s words very well. He shook the tiger tally in his hand and his mouth revealed an evil, charming smile: ¡°Didn¡¯t crown prince want this tiger tally for a long time? Come and take it, ah!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang say that, Wanyan Hong reached out to get it, but was stopped by a snap from emperor Wanyan Lie. He retreated.
¡°This tiger tally is Cang er¡¯s. No one else can get it!¡±
Wanyan Lie fiercely red at Wanyan Hong once. This darn thing who didn¡¯t live up to expectations. Even at this time, he¡¯s fanning the mes and thinking about things he shouldn¡¯t be thinking about.
¡°Even if you have the tiger tally, but you also need to have the ability to move them!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s wordspletely dashed Wanyan Hong¡¯s idea. He knew that what emperor father said was true.
The army of Bei Zhou had been single-handed built by Feng Xie. Later, when it got into the hands of Feng Cang, it entered a new level. Everyone only listened to Feng Cang. This tiger tally, to some extent, it¡¯s nothing more than an ornament. Even if you took the tiger tally, if the great general didn¡¯t see a letter personally written by Feng Cang, he wouldn¡¯t listen to you. This also made Wanyan Hong hate Feng Cang even more.
The empress dowager didn¡¯t hide her dislike towards Murong Qi Qi. This let Murong Qi Qi have a better understanding of this empress dowager¡¯s personality.
The founder of Bei Zhou, Wanyan Zhi, was once the great general of the previous Qin. Being the general¡¯s wife, Dongfang Lan also came from a family of generals. She did things neatly and had a straightforward personality. Joy or anger showed on her face. She was a hundred times stronger than those people, who with a smiling face, would stab you in the back.
Now, Dongfang Lan put down those words in front of all the court to trouble Murong Qi Qi. Her being so open and straightforward made people admire her. Even Murong Qi Qi felt that Dongfang Lan is a cute grandmother. She likes people who are straightforward, even if that person doesn¡¯t like her.
Seeing Feng Cange up for her, made Murong Qi Qi felt very grateful and also very touched.
One side was the grandmother who brought him up. The other side was the woman he had only known for a few days. No need to mention the ¡®fate¡¯ between Murong Tai and Feng family. This matter, no matter if it¡¯s in the terms of emotions or logic, Feng Cang shouldn¡¯t havee forward. Doing that, no matter what the oue would be, it¡¯ll only damage the affection bound by blood between them.
After all, blood is thicker than water. Besides, Dongfang Lan was an elder. If Feng Cang formed a wall between him and the empress dowager, people would point at Feng Cang for being unfilial. They would use her even more.
Instead of that, she should just openly ept the bet. If Dongfang Lan loses, then with her straightforward personality, she would not embarrass herself. She would not make things difficult for her (MQQ). Besides, she doesn¡¯t want to see Feng Cang put in a difficult position. She doesn¡¯t want to see his frowning expression......
Just as many people were wondering about the result, Murong Qi Qi smiled and bowed at Dongfang Lan: ¡°Thanks empress dowager for giving bengong6 this opportunity. Bei Zhou will surely get the first ce in the tournament between the four countries. Also, bengong will definitely be a good head of the household!¡±
At this moment, the tolerating aura on Murong Qi Qi disappeared. It¡¯s reced by iparable confidence, making people surprised for a moment. And the originally intense atmosphere was dissolved by her smile.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi change the humble ¡®I¡¯ into the confident ¡®bengong¡¯, Dongfang Lan knew that this princess Zhao Yang epted this agreement.
Humph! Her courage was great. Not only did she ept, but she also dared to look at her (DL) straight in the eyes! Because of Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, Feng Cang fell out with her, his grandmother, in front of everyone. This woman has good means!
Now she¡¯s being so bold. Could it be that this was the real her? No matter if she really can do as her arrogant words dered, but she dared to ept. Such courage and valor was not bad.
Originally, Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for Feng Cang. Now that Murong Qi Qi epted the bet, it gave her a good way out of this situation.
¡°Then aijia will wait for princess Zhao Yang¡¯s good news.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, full of spirits, made Dongfang Lan startled. Who did that pair of eyes resemble? Why was it so familiar? Dongfang Lan thought for a long time, but she couldn¡¯t recall who in her memories also had such a beautiful pair of eyes.
After quite a while, did Dongfang Lan recover from the daze. Perhaps it¡¯s because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s decisive performance; perhaps it¡¯s because of that pair of familiar eyes, but Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t make any more trouble for Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Aijia is tired. Aijia will go back first, you continue......¡±
After Dongfang Lan¡¯s departure, joy and serenity was restored. Dancers and singers performed. The feast was going well. Nothing seemed to have ever happened.
Murong Qi Qi was sitting. While admiring the dancers, she tasted the delicious food. She looked as though nothing had happened. So calm that it made Feng Cang appreciate her even more. It¡¯s just that the tournament between the four countries was no trivial matter. Today, she epted in front of all the officials. If Bei Zhou didn¡¯t win, then would he lose her?? What should he do?
¡°Wangye, is the dance not good? Or is it that these delicacies are not to your taste?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hands reached out in front of Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and waved.
¡°You were already in a daze for quite a while.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s concern made Feng Cang smile. Immediately, he held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand.
¡°Qing Qing, do you know what the tournament of the four countries is?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know,¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head. Her answer almost made Feng Cang bite his tongue. His pair of phoenix eyes couldn¡¯t help but get bigger and stare at Murong Qi Qi. Seeing that nothing was wrong with her demeanor, Feng Cang finally understood that Murong Qi Qi really didn¡¯t know anything. A girl who doesn¡¯t have martial arts, how could she understand this?!
¡°Qing Qing, you don¡¯t know and still dared to ept grandmother¡¯s conditions. If Bei Zhou lose, then don¡¯t we have to separate......¡±
This foolish woman. Should he say that she is like a newborn calf who isn¡¯t afraid of the tiger or what?!
If just now he insisted, empress dowager wouldn¡¯t have formed a wall with him in public. She would¡¯ve surely epted them. But Murong Qi Qi stopped him. He listened to her and didn¡¯t continue to dispute with empress dowager. Feng Cang knew that Murong Qi Qi did that so that he wouldn¡¯t get the name of being unfilial. Her thinking for his sake, made Feng Cang understood Murong Qi Qi¡¯s care even more.
Obviously, she¡¯s the one who had suffered the most injustice, but she took everything down. This little woman, ah! Really has an unyielding spirit. Even he couldn¡¯t help but admire her!
¡°Don¡¯t I still have wangye? Having wangye, I¡¯m not afraid!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer was half truthful, half lies, but this answer made Feng Cang feel extremely gratifying. She was being like this because she had him! Immediately, a sense of manly pride entered Feng Cang¡¯s heart. She trusted him so much and saw him as her big tree; how could he let her suffer any grievances?!
Feng Cang took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. He rubbed his chin against her ck hair. His heart felt very sweet. It turned out that the feeling of being relied on is so good, ah! If so, he¡¯s willing to hold the sky for her and let her rely on him for a lifetime.
¡°Qing Qing saying that, I¡¯m really happy. Qing Qing, rest assured, I will surely get the first ce for you! The position of Feng family¡¯s female master is certainly yours!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s doting words sounded at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears.
This man was so determined. His words sounded as an oath, making people feel very warm. Just now, when Dongfang Lan made things difficult for her in public, her answer was also for herself. It¡¯s not really for the position of Nan Lin wangfei7. Now that this man gave a vow to her, it made a certain ce in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart slowly be soft.
Looking at Feng Cang¡¯s eyes that were full of love, Murong Qi Qi became somewhat sentimental. How should she respond to his efforts? She had never understood this and hadn¡¯t tried before. Now after facing his tenderness and passion, she felt somewhat helpless. She didn¡¯t know what she should do......
¡°What is Qing Qing thinking about?¡±
Murong Qi Qi being in a daze fell into Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. He couldn¡¯t help but pull her little nose and put on a sad face.
¡°Could it be that I don¡¯t even have the slightest attraction to Qing Qing? I¡¯m in front of you and you still went into a daze. This is really too much! Could it be that inside Qing Qing¡¯s heart lives another? That¡¯s why even if I¡¯m here, I still cannot catch your interest?¡±
¡°No, there¡¯s no one in my heart.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful face coupled with his pitiful eyes, plus the sadness in his voice, made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brain temporarily stop working. How did a man grow up beautiful enough to be able to damage a country and cause sufferings to people? Really devilish beauty, ah!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer made Feng Cang happy. Her gaze, without any guards, told Feng Cang that these were Murong Qi Qi¡¯s true words.
¡°Since inside Qing Qing¡¯s heart there¡¯s no one, how about let me live there? Only let me live there; live for a whole lifetime!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words were full of temptation, like magic. And Murong Qi Qi, as if being possessed by a demon, nodded: ¡°Alright.¡±
After saying ¡®alright¡¯, Murong Qi Qi suddenly woke up. What did he ask just now? And what did she answer? She actually said ¡®alright¡¯? She actually lost her soul in front of him......
Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t allow Murong Qi Qi to go back on her words. Immediately, their fingers intertwined. His eyes were firm.
¡°If a gentleman says it, a fast horse would gallop with a single strike of the whip. Since Qing Qing promised me, Qing Qing must do as you say. From today onwards, Qing Qing¡¯s eyes and heart can only have me like how I feel about Qing Qing! We will grow old together while holding each other¡¯s hands. I don¡¯t ask for us to be born in the same year, same month and same day, but we will die the same year, same month and same day. Qing Qing, what do you think?¡±
If a gentleman says it, a fast horse would gallop with a single strike of the whip: a gentleman¡¯s words is as good as gold.
A series of changes; Murong Qi Qi did not catch up yet. When she came around, she had found that she went onto Feng Cang¡¯s thief ship. Everything was to me on Feng Cang having such a beautiful face, making her lose her soul and opening her mouth to promise.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m a little girl, not a gentleman......,¡± Murong Qi Qi lowered her head.
¡°Can it be that Qing Qing wants to go back on your words? They say being fickle is a woman¡¯s nature. Can it be that Qing Qing is also someone who will go back on her words?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes locked onto Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pretty eyes. The grief in those beautiful eyes made Murong Qi Qi surprised. Her heart also felt pain. Why, whenever she sees him being sad, she will feel heartache? Never before has she had such feelings. Why did they appear?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®silence¡¯ made Feng Cang feel pain in his heart. Could it be that he is moving too quickly, that¡¯s why she is so hesitant?
¡°Qing Qing, I was too anxious. I¡¯m sorry!¡±
Feng Cang softly apologized.
¡°You don¡¯t need to put those foolish words I said in your heart. In the future, I will not force you again! I can wait patiently; wait for the day Qing Qing opens your heart to me; wait till you ept me!¡±
Feng Cang just finished speaking when Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell. Looking at that, Feng Cang was now more startled. Immediately, he reached out to wipe her tears.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. Everything is my fault. Don¡¯t cry anymore. Qing Qing, don¡¯t cry!¡±
¡°Feng Cang, why are you so good to me? Why?¡±
Murong Qi Qi choked and asked the question that¡¯s been bothering her.
Aside from her adopted father, there was no one else who treated her so well. She and Feng Cang had only known each other for one to two months, but he had been so caring and gentle. All in all, she somewhat couldn¡¯t continue ept it anymore.
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s question made Feng Cang go silent for a moment. Then, for the first time, he said his inner feelings: ¡°If I say, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you, would you believe it?¡±
Hearing the word ¡®love¡¯ing from Feng Cang¡¯s mouth made Murong Qi Qi very surprised. Because of the surprise, she¡¯s even more confused.
¡°Wangye believes in love at first sight? But that day on the carriage, I didn¡¯t do anything in particr that would attract people......¡±
Chapter 69 Snake beauty’s heart (1)
Chapter 69 Snake beauty¡¯s heart (1)
¡°Qing Qing, the first time we met was at Murong fu!1. That night, you yed ¡®A nce at the mundane world¡¯ under the moonlight. It¡¯s at that time when your self-confidence and pride was engraved in my heart. Like a warm day, it lightened up my life.¡±
Thinking about those memories, Feng Cang¡¯s voice became exceptionally gentle. It¡¯s as if he¡¯s describing the best thing he had ever encountered in his life.
¡°Later, you were identally bestowed the title of princess Zhao Yang and had to be my wife. The moment I got that news, I was so excited. I won¡¯t hide this from Qing Qing. In fact, I was nning to use some means to let you marry me. But I didn¡¯t expect that everything would be destined by heaven; that you would be the princess to form a marriage alliance. Qing Qing, you say, is this not fate?¡±
Facing this Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know what to say.
Feng Cang¡¯s words unlocked all of the doubts that were in her heart. No wonder he let Feng Yu and Nn Xin go to Murong fu to teach her those things. No wonder he couldn¡¯t wait to move the entire wangfu2. No wonder he protected her like that at the banquet. No wonder......
It¡¯s just that Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t know how to face Feng Cang¡¯s adoring confession. Such an excellent and affectionate Feng Cang made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart be timid. She was somewhat afraid; afraid that Feng Cang had too high expectations of her and that she would disappoint him.
Looking at her own image inside Feng Cang¡¯s ck eyes, Murong Qi Qi wanted to back down, but Feng Cang trapped her in his embrace.
¡°Is Qing Qing afraid of me or does Qing Qing loathe me? Is it that Qing Qing also heard those rumors and became scared?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s injured voice sounded once again.
¡°No, no, it¡¯s not like that!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was like the wind chiming under the eaves. The moment the wind breeze passed by, sad music would y. In the end, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer and also embraced Feng Cang. Why is this man¡¯s smile so warm, but his body is so cold? Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart gave birth to pity.
¡°Wangye3, I¡¯m someone who doesn¡¯t understand love. I¡¯ve never experienced such a thing. I don¡¯t know what to do......¡±
This was the first time Murong Qi Qi has bared her own heart. She also didn¡¯t know why she was able to reveal this. Maybe it¡¯s because she felt trust from Feng Cang. Maybe it¡¯s because she also wanted to get a taste of love......
Such frank wordsing from Murong Qi Qi made Feng Cang¡¯s heart beat very fast.
Does this mean that in her heart, there¡¯s now a small bit of trust for him? Does this mean that she¡¯s slowly beginning to open her heart to him? So, the barrier of her heart is this. She is worried that she will not do well. This little wangfei4, ah. Really silly, na?ve and cute!
¡°I can teach you, ah!¡±
Inside Feng Cang¡¯s voice, there was a trace ofughter.
¡°Why don¡¯t we slowly learn together?¡±
¡°Slowly learn together?¡±
Hearing these words, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s first reaction was to verify carefully.
This seemed to be a good way. Adopted father didn¡¯t teach her this, so maybe Feng Cang can teach her. It¡¯s just that why did she see some pride and some small calction in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes? Why does she have a feeling like she¡¯s a sheep falling into a tiger¡¯s mouth?
¡°Qing Qing, this is the first time you threw yourself into my arms!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was in a daze again, theughter in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes became stronger.
¡°Originally, I thought that Xi Qi¡¯s women are reserved. Only now do I know that Qing Qing is so hot and passionate. Really...... very charming!¡±
¡°Ah......¡± Only now did Murong Qi Qi remember that she¡¯s still embracing Feng Cang. Immediately, she pushed him away. Unfortunately, it¡¯s toote. Feng Cang had already circled her into his arms. Strong arms trapped her; not letting Murong Qi Qi get away.
¡°Feng Cang, let me go. Everyone is watching!¡±
Hearing theughter around them, Murong Qi Qi discovered that they had be the focus of everyone. Immediately, her cheeks became red. Even her ears became red.
¡°Not letting go. Not letting go for a whole lifetime!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pinkish face let Feng Cang¡¯s mood be very good. Once again, heughed out loud. That radiant look made every woman nearby lose their soul. Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die¡¯s faces both have looks of infatuation.
From Feng Cang¡¯s embrace, Murong Qi Qi saw the infatuation of those women. Inexplicably, she felt a bit unhappy and there was a block in her heart. Since she had just opened her mind and told Feng Cang her feelings, the seal between them had separated. Murong Qi Qi was no longer acting cautious.
Adopted father said to follow your heart. He was probably speaking about expressing her true feelings to let the other person know. So, now Murong Qi Qi was feeling unhappy. She immediately reached out and grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s face to let him look at her.
¡°Wangye, you are too able at fondling flowers and trampling grass! This makes me very unhappy!¡±
Fondling flowers and trampling grass: to womanize.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s angry small face with the pinkish blush on her cheeks matched the burning small me in her eyes, and it made Feng Cang lose his soul. So, it turned out that she¡¯s so beautiful when angry!
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to understand, she felt something warm at her forehead. Feng Cang gently kissed her forehead in front of everyone.
Pupupu...... Murong Qi Qi could hear her heart beating; it¡¯s fast like a small pony running. She didn¡¯t move and didn¡¯t dare to move. She only foolishly opened her eyes widely.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reaction made Feng Cang want to dote on her even more. Although he only kissed her forehead, but her smooth skin which exuded a fragrance of green apple, made him unable to stop.
No, he can¡¯t! Only just now, his little wangfei opened her heart to him. He can¡¯t force her too much lest she would flee.
Thinking till her, Feng Cang¡¯s lips left Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. He had known that her taste is sweet, but he hadn¡¯t expected that with a simple kiss, she could let him be bewildered.
¡°Qing Qing, my heart only has you. My eyes also only have you. You must believe in me!¡±
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand to his chest.
¡°Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it.¡±
Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it: there are so many potential lovers to choose from, but you only pick one from among those potential lovers.
Li: Chinese mile: 500 meters
When Feng Cang said ¡®Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it¡¯, the dance in Taiji Hall stopped right at that moment. It was so quiet that the silence highlighted Feng Cang¡¯s voice even more.
¡°Well said! A very well ¡®Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it¡¯,¡± Wanyan Lie praised. The intimate interaction between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie saw very well from above. Now that Feng Cang had said such an oath, it could be seen that the feelings between the two were excellent.
The feelings of his nephew have found an owner; he, as an uncle, was naturally happy. However, to unlock empress dowager¡¯s heart, it was not a simple matter. This was a big problem.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi having a good rtion was something that both Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin agreed on. Who didn¡¯t know that in Nan Lin wang¡¯s hands, there¡¯s military power and he also had the favor of Wanyan Lie? If it wasn¡¯t because his body was weak which made Wanyan Lie dispel the idea of passing the throne to him, the dynasty would have long changed surnames and be Feng Cang¡¯s.
Now, Feng Cang liked Murong Qi Qi. This let Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin feel relieved.
The previous wangfei of Feng Cang were all rich and noble. If they had formed an alliance, they would have be his powerful allies. By then, even if their sons ascended the throne, Feng Cang would have been a danger. Fortunately, those women didn¡¯t have a long life. Don¡¯t know if they had bad luck or Feng Cang¡¯s life was too hard. In short, they all died.
Now, Feng Cang was forming a marriage alliance with Murong Qi Qi, the rumored rubbish; this made the empress and consort De very happy.
Although Murong Qi Qi was a princess, but behind her was Xi Qi, was Murong Tai! Although Xi Qi and Bei Zhou acted amiably on the surface, but thanks to Wanyan Lie¡¯s ambition, sooner orter there would be a battle with Xi Qi.
If there¡¯s really a battle, then Murong Qi Qi being in the middle as well as Feng Cang being Xi Qi¡¯s prime minister¡¯s son-inw would certainly gain criticism. Maybe at that time, they take away the military from Feng Cang. Not to mention that the empress dowager really disliked Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s future days didn¡¯t look good.
So, although these two people were always on the opposite side on other things, but regarding the matter of Feng Cang marrying Murong Qi Qi, they were absolutely on the same page.
¡°Emperor, chenqie5 sees that princess Zhao Yang is someone who will arouse love and affection from people. Why don¡¯t chenqie take her for a walk around the pce! Our Bei Zhou¡¯s scenery is different from Xi Qi¡¯s. Presumably, princess hasn¡¯t seen it yet! What do you think?¡±
Lin Ke Xin being understanding made Wanyan Lie very happy.
¡°That¡¯s right! Consort De, you take Qi Qi out for a walk. Let her be familiar with the environment. In the future,e to y frequently at the pce!¡±
¡°Yes! Chenqie obeys emperor¡¯smand!¡±
¡°Emperor father! I also wants to go!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu saw that Consort De wanted to take Murong Qi Qi for a walk at the pce, so she immediately stood up.
Just now, Feng Cang¡¯s doting towards Murong Qi Qi made Wanyan Bao Zhu so jealous that her eyes almost fell out. It would not be easy to find another opportunity to be alone with Murong Qi Qi; how can she let it go? She must let Murong Qi Qi be in shame! This was what Wanyan Bao Zhu was thinking in her heart.
Wanyan Bao Zhu acting like a spoiled little daughter amused Wanyan Lie so much that heughed out loud. Being Wanyan Lie¡¯s only daughter and also because she had lost her mother at a young age, Wanyan Lie loved this princess Bao Zhu very much. Seeing that his daughter was willing to take the initiative to get along with Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie felt very happy.
¡°Alright! All can go, all can go! Girls must have many topics to talk about! Crown princess, you also go! Yu Die, you also go. All the girls go! Young people should get together more often!¡±
Since Wanyan Lie said those words, even if Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to go, she could only stand up. Being in someone else¡¯s territory, even if there¡¯s Feng Cang at her side, but Wanyan Lie was this country¡¯s biggest boss. She couldn¡¯t make things difficult for Feng Cang.
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Feng Cang was somewhat worried. Although Murong Qi Qi was indeed smart, but now they were in Bei Zhou and not in Xi Qi. Would she be able to handle it?
¡°Wangye, rest assured!¡±
Murong Qi Qi chuckled and gave Feng Cang an ¡®I¡¯m alright¡¯ gaze.
¡°This time, it¡¯s wangye¡¯s turn to wait for me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words let Feng Cang remember Xi Qi¡¯s pce banquet. That day, one ¡®I¡¯ll wait for you¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi made his heart warm for a long time. Now, it¡¯s his turn to wait for her. This was not a bad thought.
¡°Troubling consort De!¡±
Feng Cang stood up and slightly bowed at Lin Ke Xin. Although he bowed, but it¡¯s also a warning. I put this person in your hands. If something happens to her, then don¡¯t me me!
How could the clever Consort De not understand the meaning behind Feng Cang¡¯s words?! It seemed that this time, Feng Cang really cared about princess Zhao Yang which was also what she wanted.
¡°Nan Lin wang, rest assured! Bengong6 will definitely take good care of princess Zhao Yang!¡±
Feng Cang personally put a light green hooded cloak on Murong Qi Qi and also carefully tied the strap for her. Only after putting a heater in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s arms did he let her go.
¡°Wangye really dotes on you!¡±
Lin Ke Xin personally held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand with a kind smile. Under the empress¡¯s lead, a line of women left Taiji Hall.
After leaving Taiji Hall, Lin Ke Xin first led Murong Qi Qi to her Jingxin pce. Later, Wanyan Bao Zhu proposed to go take a walk outside. Lin Ke Xin, because of the wind, got some headache, and asked crown princess Yu Shi Shi to take care of Murong Qi Qi. She (LKX) stayed inside Jingxin pce.
¡°Niangniang,7 seeing princess Bao Zhu¡¯s expression; it doesn¡¯t seem she has given up.¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s old maid handed her a cup of hot ginseng tea.
¡°Just now, Nan Lin wang handed princess Zhao Yang to you. If princess Bao Zhu does something, then what should we do?¡±
¡°What to do? Humph! Bengong handed her over to crown princess. You say, if something really happens, old and new love, who would Nan Lin wang choose?¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s words made old maid Du cover her mouth to snicker.
¡°Niangniang still remembers such an old matter. The way I see it; there isn¡¯t a man who doesn¡¯t forgot the old and love the new. Not to mention Nan Lin wang, even emperor.......¡±
Speaking till here, Du mama suddenly paused. She realized that she was too blunt and actually mentioned the thorn in Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart. Not waiting for Lin Ke Xin to say anything, Du mama knelt in front of her and fiercely gave herself two ps.
¡°Call you for being old and confused! Call you for saying the wrong thing! Call you for not remembering!¡±
Originally Lin Ke Xin was somewhat angry, but seeing Du mama like that, the anger in her heart slightly subsided. Only after Du mama¡¯s old face turned red, did Lin Ke Xin open her mouth again: ¡°Enough, mama, in the future, don¡¯t say such words again. If this gets to the ears of the emperor, even bengong will not be able to protect you!¡±
¡°Yes! Thanks, niangniang! Thanks, niangniang!¡±
Only when Lin Ke Xin nodded, did old maid Du stand up.
It¡¯s just the originally happy mood had been ruined by old maid Du words. Now, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s expression was somewhat ugly: ¡°How is that one of Changqui pce doing?¡±
¡°Answering niangniang, after noble consort Yue got a miscarriage, she became sickly. Now, she lost a lot of weight and looks just like a sick beauty. The emperor still goes there every day. It¡¯s just that a string is stuck in noble consort¡¯s heart. Every day, she eats very little. I heard that now only thin bones are left on her.¡±
¡°Humph! Even if she is skinny, the emperor still loves her,¡± after hearing those words from old maid Du, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s voice couldn¡¯t help but get louder, making old maid Du hurriedly rush towards her and cover her mouth.
¡°My niangniang, these words can only be said privately. If the emperor gets to know this, it¡¯ll be very troublesome! Could it be that you forgot beautifuldy Zhou¡¯s ending!¡±
Beautiful here doesn¡¯t mean beautiful. It¡¯s a rank. On a side note, every women in the pce is beautiful
Old maid Du¡¯s words made Lin Ke Xin shudder.
That beautifuldy Zhao only said one bad sentence about Yue Lan Zhi. When that had reached to Wanyan Lie¡¯s ears, her tongue was pulled out. Before she was a water-like beauty. Now, not only had she be a mute, but her legs had also been crippled. She could only pass the rest of her days in the cold pce. Really pitiful.
However, just the thought of that one in Changqui pce would make an inexplicable anger rise in Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart. That Yue Lan Zhi had only entered the pce for half a year, but had already jumped from a talenteddy to the position of a noble consort. Such a speedy upgrade was unprecedented within the pce.
Talenteddy is one of the lowest ranks in the Chinese imperial harem. From low to high: talenteddies, beautifuldies, nobledies,dies of bright countenance,dies of bright deportment,dies of handsome fairness, imperial concubines, consorts, noble consorts, imperial noble consorts and finally the empress. So, she jumped 7 ranks in half a year.
Not only that, Wanyan Lie also bestowed her Changqui pce, which had always been the living ce of the empress. Every month, most of the time he spent with her (YLZ). That¡¯s why she got pregnant quickly even though she had only lived in the pce for such a short time.
Although in the end, Yue Lan Zhi couldn¡¯t protect the child, but it¡¯s obvious to all that Wanyan Lie doted on her. How can the once favored consort De ept this? No need to even mention the many women in the imperial harem waiting for the favor of the emperor.
In this meat more than wolves, porridge more than monks harem, which piece of meat doesn¡¯t want to be eaten by the wolf? Which porridge was not begging the monk to eat it? However, this Yue Lan Zhi upied Wanyan Lie and became the most favored of the harem. This let her inadvertently be the thorn in the women of the harem¡¯s eyes.
¡°Serve her right! ording to bengong, she miscarriaged because she umted too much resentment. That¡¯s why she couldn¡¯t keep the child!¡±
¡°Shh!¡±
Old maid Du got more frightened seeing that the more Lin Ke Xin talked, the angrier she (LKX) got. She quickly looked around. Only when she saw that there was no one around, did she let out a sigh of relief.
¡°Niangniang, now she¡¯s favored. She¡¯s the meat for the emperor. You can¡¯t touch her. Bear with it a while longer! In this pce, there are many people who hate her. Naturally, there will be people who will deal with her. You should just protect the two princes, why bother with her?!¡±
When old maid Du mentioned the princes, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s mood turned a lot better. Just the thought of her second son, the second prince Wanyan Yi of this dynasty, Lin Ke Xin finally revealed a smile.
Wanyan Lie had five sons. She had given birth to two. That¡¯s why she was able to be Consort De. Lin Ke Xin was very proud of that. Although Wanyan Kang was a bit unruly, but Wanyan Yi was perfect and also the strongestpetitor against the crown prince.
Three forces hold the court. The literary officials are divided in two groups. The group led by the state head support the crown prince. The group led by the prime minister support Wanyan Yi.
I searched for a trantion for ?? (guozhang), but couldn¡¯t find one, so I decided to use state head. Guozhang is usually a position held by the emperor¡¯s father inw e.g the empress¡¯s father. It¡¯s a very high position.
The military officials see Feng Cang as their leader, but they are loyal and support the emperor. Whoever gets Feng Cang¡¯s support would be the future emperor. It¡¯s just that Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t ept salt nor oil and has now be a candidate for the crown prince¡¯s position. This let Lin Ke Xin be somewhat worried. How to draw Feng Cang to their side and how to control him were the questions that consort De and empress were both thinking about......
Chapter 70 Snake beauty’s heart (2)
Chapter 70 Snake beauty¡¯s heart (2)
Inside Jingxin pce, as Lin Ke Xin was thinking about how to bribe Feng Cang and let him be under her son¡¯smand, Murong Qi Qi was brought to the Sun and Moonke in the pce by Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°How is it? Here is much more beautiful than Xi Qi, don¡¯t you think?!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu raised her chin like a proud peacock and still refused to look at Murong Qi Qi with direct eyes.
Doesn¡¯t look with direct eyes means that WBZ sees MQQ as someone below her.
¡°En.¡±
Murong Qi Qi put on a nk face. She nodded but didn¡¯t say yes nor no.
Although it¡¯s already winter, the snow hadn¡¯te yet. Theke was unusually deserted. It emitted a burst of coldness. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know why Wanyan Bao Zhu brought her here, but looking at the expressions of those other women, she knew it was not something good. That¡¯s why she had long prepared to catch her (WBZ) next move.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wooden eyes, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t understand why Feng Cang liked Murong Qi Qi. Not only did she not understand, even Mu Yu Die and Yu Shi Shi couldn¡¯t understand why Feng Cang¡¯s taste was so ¡®unique¡¯.
However, the one who first opened her mouth to make things difficult for Murong Qi Qi was not Wanyan Bao Zhu, but crown princess Yu Shi Shi.
¡°Xi Qi¡¯sndscape must be very good. That¡¯s why it could raise such a delicate person as princess. Even wangye1 treats you differently. It¡¯s just, there¡¯s a sentence bengong2 doesn¡¯t know if bengong should say it or not......¡±
You already opened your mouth, will I still be able to not let you fart? Murong Qi Qi was thinking in her heart, but on her face, she put up a respectful smile: ¡°Please enlighten me, crown princess niangniang3.¡±
¡°Wangye is excellent in both literature and military. He is the famous hero of Bei Zhou; but princess, it seems like you know nothing. If this is spread around, people will feel injustice for wangye. Although women without talent are virtuous, but she still needs to know the basics. Otherwise, when men encounter new people, it¡¯ll be very easy to forget the old one.¡±
So, it turned out that she was talking about this? Murong Qi Qi sneered in her heart, but her face showed an even more respectful smile: ¡°Crown princess niangniang is right. It¡¯s just that bengong likes embroidery and management of the household more. Bengong feels that putting oneself in someone else¡¯s shoes, in the end will get the other party¡¯s true heart. No matter how wangye treats me in the future, bengong will surely treat him wholeheartedly and will certainly not live in the wangfu4 while the heart is elsewhere; using one heart for two purposes......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were like a strike, fiercely pping Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face. Immediately, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s expression turned bad......
What does she mean? What does she mean by using one heart for two purposes? What does she know? Or has she heard something? Why does she know her inner thoughts......?
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face turned pale then turned red. She stood there. It wouldn¡¯t be right if she answers that; it wouldn¡¯t be right if she stood there without saying anything. She could onlyugh embarrassingly.
The girls present also heard some of the rumors about Yu Shi Shi and Feng Cang. Although it¡¯s not confirmed, but after seeing Yu Shi Shi¡¯s performance at the banquet; no one was blind. That¡¯s why when Murong Qi Qi said that, those girls covered their mouths andughed.
Wanyan Bao Zhuughed till she was trembling. She had long known that Yu Shi Shi was a ¡®cunning plot¡¯. It¡¯s just that because of her identity, she couldn¡¯t say anything. Now that Murong Qi Qi embarrassed Yu Shi Shi, Wanyan Bao Zhu was naturally happy.
Everyone knew that Yu Shi Shi and Feng Cang once had an engagement. However, before the marriage, Yu Shi Shi backed off and married crown prince Wanyan Hong. Binding herself to such a big tree as the crown prince, in one single step, she became the crown princess.
Ever since Yu Shi Shi backed off from the marriage, Feng Cang had gotten bad luck. For eight, consecutive years, after the first day of marriage, the next day would be the day of mourning. The position of Nan Lin wangfei[wangfei: main wife/ consort of the prince of first rank] also seemed cursed, making it that, although these women adored Feng Cang, but they were stopped by the position of wangfei.
Many people attributed Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®tragic fate¡¯ to Yu Shi Shi. Because she backed off, she broke Feng Cang¡¯s fate, which resulted in that none of Feng Cang¡¯s marriages were ever fulfilled. That¡¯s why, every time there¡¯s a court meeting, no one would bother with this crown princess. In the whole upper ss, her rtionship with women was simply bad to the extreme.
A country¡¯s crown princess got humiliated by another country¡¯s princess and it was witnessed by so many people. The more Yu Shi Shi thought about it, the angrier she got.
But she is a crown princess, the future empress. She needs to remain virtuous and be big-hearted. So she acted like nothing had happened. It¡¯s just that in her heart, she hated Murong Qi Qi to death. She felt that Murong Qi Qi shouldn¡¯t expose her in public and let her be everyone¡¯s joke!
Although crown princess suffered defeat and many people wereughing at her, but there were also people who helped her. The one who opened her mouth next was Mu Yu Die. She was also an old woman who waited for Feng Cang till twenty years. This woman seemed quiet and gentle, but the wordsing out of her mouth were filled with thorns.
¡°Princess being so virtuous is wangye¡¯s blessing. No wonder wangye is infatuated with you and there¡¯s no one else in his eyes. Especially that sentence of just now, ¡®Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it¡¯ really made the people who listened to it envious!¡±
Mu Yu Dieing to her rescue, crown princess couldn¡¯t help but look at her gratefully. And Mu Yu Die¡¯s words made the women who had justughed at Yu Shi Shi turn to Murong Qi Qi.
Wanyan Bao Zhuughed most brilliantly just now. Now, her expression also changed the fastest. Just now, it was the spring of March. Now, it¡¯s the cold winter of December.
Mu Yu Die didn¡¯t feel enough with just talking. She walked to Murong Qi Qi and carefully looked at the light green cloak on Murong Qi Qi. This cloak had long before grabbed Mu Yu Die¡¯s attention. This time, after looking at it closely, in Mu Yu Die¡¯s eyes, there was not only surprise but also envy, jealousy and hate.
¡°This cloak is so fine. It must be certainly from a master¡¯s hands!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cloak was light green. On it were four four-leaf clovers embroidered with light golden threads. This four-leaf clover was a new thing. No one had seen it before. That¡¯s why everyone was surprised and the embroidery also made people praise it. The person wearing the cloak only needed to move a little bit and she would be glittering like the sun.
¡°This is a new cloak from Jue Se Fang. Wangye ordered it early on.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were to the point. Everyone understood the value of this cloak.
Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai were the most favorite ces of the women of this world. Although Tong Bao Zhai already has a branch in Bei Zhou country, but Jue Se Fang did not. This meant that Feng Cang prepared this cloak when they were in Xi Qi.
¡°What is this type of leaves called? I¡¯ve never seen it before!¡±
Mu Yu Die pointed at the four-leaf clover on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cloak.
¡°Oh, this is a four-leaf clover and they are also called lucky clovers. From ten thousand three-leaf clovers, there¡¯s only one four-leaf clover. Legend has it that the person who can find a four-leaf clover will always be happy.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was like gurgling spring water; sweet and moving. After hearing her exnation, they had a new understanding of four-leaf clovers and felt that these four-leaf clovers are a special nt.
¡°Where did princess hear this from?¡±
Mu Yu Die imed to be the most talented woman. In this group, she was the most talented. That¡¯s why she wouldn¡¯t ept Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words so easily.
¡°It¡¯s the shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang who told wangye. Then wangye told me.¡±
Mentioning Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smiling face blushed. Her eyes were filled with happiness, making Mu Yu Die who saw it feel like a knife is cutting into her heart. However, it seemed like Murong Qi Qi did it intentionally. From time to time, her eyes swept over Mu Yu Die. This made Mu Yu Die¡¯s heart feel even more ufortable, but there¡¯s nothing she could do.
¡°Wangye is really good to princess!¡±
Mu Yu Die smiled awkwardly. She took a deep breath in her heart and alsoforted herself. She (MQQ) is nothing but a slut. She should not lower herself to her (MQQ) level! She should not spur into action by her (MQQ) remarks!
¡°En,¡± Murong Qi Qi continued to nod and act like a shy girl, making Mu Yu Die, who was self-regting, angry till she gritted her teeth. Mu Yu Die¡¯s forced expression made Murong Qi Qi very happy.
She is but an old woman and she still dares to want things? Does it even matter if you had anything to do with Feng Cang before? What does your high status matter? What does your talent matter? Now, there¡¯s her (MQQ). She has to take care of all these small mosquitoes and flies! Not to mention such an old woman!
(Emituofo, don¡¯t attack at the case of the woman¡¯s old age. In that era, 20 years old is already an olddy)¡ªfrom the author
Murong Qi Qi viciously ssified twenty years old Mu Yu Die as ¡®old woman¡¯. If Mu Yu Die knew that in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart, she, who was as beautiful as a flower, was nothing more than an old woman, she would definitely cough blood from anger......
¡°I heard the shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang say that they will open a few stores in Bei Zhou by the end of the year. By that time, there will be many of these beautiful cloaks.¡±
At this time, Murong Qi Qi did not forget to advertise for her Jue Se Fang.
Sure enough, after hearing that Jue Se Fang will open stores in Bei Zhou, these women became excited.
¡°Do you know when?¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand in excitement.
¡°Princess, you hurt me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi frowned. Wanyan Bao Zhu pouted. In her heart, she felt that Murong Qi Qi was too fragile and weak. She looked down on her even more.
After Wanyan Bao Zhu let her go, Murong Qi Qi smiled softly: ¡°I also don¡¯t know the specific date. I just heard that it¡¯s at the end of this year. It¡¯ll catch up with the new year.¡±
Say a vague time to let everybody long for it. Everyone here today aredies and young masters of noble families. Let them spread it out, before long Jue Se Fang¡¯s fame will spread greatly in Bei Zhou. When they finally open, she will then earn many gold and silver.
For a time, thedies were immersed in the fantasy of Jue Se Fang.
Before, when Tong Bao Zhai opened in Bei Zhou, it was very lively. Because there were too many people, shopkeeper Fang Kui couldn¡¯t help but use the auction way to sell the jewelries. The result was that all the jewelries were quickly gone and the revenue was much higher than expected.
Those jewelries, not to mention the exquisite materials used, only the wonderful designs made people love it too much to part with it. They loved them so much that they weren¡¯t willing to put them down.
Unfortunately, on that day of the auction, one set had been bought by Feng Cang. It¡¯s the ¡®Autumn flower¡¯ that Murong Qi Qi wore before. The set ¡®Clear moon¡¯ was bought by Wanyan Lie. He gave it to noble consort Yue Lan Zhi.
¡®Autumn flower¡¯. The moment she thought about ¡®Autumn flower¡¯, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart would have a knot.
She had just taken a fancy to that jewelry and didn¡¯t even have time to shout a price, when it was bought directly by Feng Cang¡¯s subordinates at a high price. Later on, he gave it to Murong Qi Qi and let her shine at the banquet in Xi Qi. Really, such a good jewelry was wasted!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Bao Zhu asked Murong Qi Qi directly: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wear ¡®Autumn flower¡¯ today?¡±
The moment she asked that did the others know that the set of jewelry was at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. Immediately, their eyes, as they looked at her, turned into ¡®envy, jealousy and hate¡¯. Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s jewelries was famous throughout the world and priceless. What does she, Murong Qi Qi, has to be able to wear ¡®Autumn flower¡¯ that was personally designed by Guang Hua gongzi5?
¡°Wangye said that Autumn flower is too heavy. Wearing it too long is not good for the neck.¡±
Murong Qi Qi pushed everything on Feng Cang. Anyway, no one would dare to go verify with Feng Cang. No matter what she said, it wouldn¡¯t matter.
The look of Murong Qi Qi today was very fresh. Every jewelry was made by grinding furong stone (crystal);pact yet elegant. It¡¯s just that no one knew this furong stone. So, they didn¡¯t see it as a rarity and it also didn¡¯t get the women¡¯s interest.
white furong stone
If they had the foresight and knew that Tong Bao Zhou would soonunch a series of outstanding beautiful jewelries which all were made with the not eye-catching furong stone, they would most certainly take down all of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s jewelries for themselves.
Although Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks were ordinary, and so was her ability, but she was still a princess that Xi Qi had sent for a marriage alliance. Moreover, she kept saying wangye this and wangye that, making the people gain some good feelings for Feng Cang. The women who had fantasies about the position of Nan Lin wangfei looked at her with even more resentment.
When all of those looks full of resentment fell on Murong Qi Qi, she remembered them all one by one. It¡¯s just that why hasn¡¯t anyone made a move yet? They already came to such a remote ce. Presumably, there would be some women who won¡¯t be able to hold it in any longer!
After walking some more, a stone arch bridge appeared before them. Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die nced at each other. After exchanging thoughts, Wanyan Bao Zhu was the first one to stand on the stone bridge.
¡°Koi, in this season, there¡¯s actually koi! Ning er6, bring the fish food! Yong er, bring the! Bengong wants to personally catch a few koi to hold a fish feast for giving princess Zhao Yang good luck!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu ordered everything. Mu Yu Die also helped. Before, when the two were against each other because of Feng Cang, they were rivals. Now, in order to deal with Murong Qi Qi, they becamerades.
Yu Shi Shi seemed to not have seen anything. She let people put a heater and nkets in the pavilion. She also let people prepare tea and snacks. Others seemed to have a tacit, mutual understanding and helped Wanyan Bao Zhu. It¡¯s as if they were waiting to see a good show of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Qi Qi, can bengong call you that? Come take a look. Now, there still are koi. It¡¯s really strange! It¡¯s certainly because they knew you wereing and came here to wee you!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu pointed at theke and gestured for Murong Qi Qi toe over.
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s ¡®Qi Qi¡¯, made Murong Qi Qi feel somewhat ¡®ttered¡¯. After hearing that there were fish seen in a winter season, Murong Qi Qi immediately became ¡®exhrated¡¯ and went on the stone bridge.
¡°Where? Where are they?¡±
¡°Here! Princess,e quickly and take a look!¡±
Knowing that Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to mess with Murong Qi Qi, the others quickly gave way to let Murong Qi Qie on the bridge.
¡°Where?¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked curiously, while she sneered in her heart. Where was there fish in thiske? There weren¡¯t even fish scales! They led her here, could it be that they want to throw her into theke?
¡°Princess, the fish food came!¡±
Just at this moment, Ning er came, holding a box with fish food. That so-called fish food turned out to be whirring and meaty worms.
However, it seemed that these women were already ustomed and didn¡¯t feel a bit afraid. Instead, they looked smilingly at Murong Qi Qi as if they were waiting for her ending.
¡°Wo, worms.......¡± Murong Qi Qi covered her mouth. Seeing those worms, she almost vomited and her expression was very afraid, making those women prouder of themselves. Usually, they use worms to fish and were no longer surprised by them anymore. They didn¡¯t think that Murong Qi Qi would be so afraid of worms. What a joke!
Don¡¯t know if Ning er did it intentionally or what, when she almost reached Murong Qi Qi, she slipped. The box of fish food flew directly towards Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Ah! No.......¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked very distressed as if seeing those oing worms was very scary. Her feet also began to slip. She just took a step back when someone put her feet behind her and wanted to make her trip. If she really fell from this stone bridge, even if she didn¡¯t sprain her legs, she¡¯d still get a cerebral concussion. If the direction was a bit off, then she would go directly into the water!
Humph! Really good calction! Murong Qi Qi, without a trace of politeness, stepped on the other party¡¯s foot. After a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound, Mu Yu Die¡¯s scream could be heard. And Murong Qi Qi conveniently fell in the opposite direction, just in time to open a way. All those worms flew toward Wanyan Ba Zhu and Mu Yu Die.
It happened that while the worms were flying towards them, Mu Yu Die¡¯s mouth was open, which caused her to swallow five or six worms.
¡°Ou.......¡±
At this time, Mu Yu Die has forgotten about the pain on her foot. She immediately went to a side of the stone bridge and began vomiting. And when she turned, just at the right time she happened to bump into Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Not waiting for the people to understand, Wanyan Bao Zhu was bumped into theke by Mu Yu Die.
¡°Ah! Princess, princess! Servants! Quicklye! Princess has fallen into theke!¡±
Ning er was the first one to react. She quickly began to shout.
The moment Mu Yu Die saw that she had bumped into the princess, making her fall into theke, she was so afraid that she forgot to vomit. She also forgot about the worms she had swallowed and even ignored the pain on her foot. She immediately reached out, wanting to pull Wanyan Bao Zhu up: ¡°Princess, grab my hand! Grab my hand!¡±
The moment Mu Yu Die shouted, everyone became anxious. Falling into the water in this weather, not to mention the fact that Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t swim, even if she could swim, she would¡¯ve been frozen terribly.
¡°Save me! I don¡¯t know how to swim! Save me!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu sshed about in the coldke water. The bone-piercing cold made her whole body hurt.
When she saw Mu Yu Die reach over, Wanyan Bao Zhu did her best to extend her hands, wanting to grab onto Mu Yu Die¡¯s hands. However, she didn¡¯t expect that just when she almost grabbed the hands, she would lose strength and fall back. A few mouthfuls of cold water repeatedly went into her stomach.
Damn! She certainly did it intentionally!
The moment the thought of Mu Yu Die bumping her into the water hit her, Wanyan Bao Zhu felt immense hatred for the Mu Yu Die who kept shouting ¡®princess, grab my hand¡¯. For who is she acting? It¡¯s obviously you who made me fall into theke, now you are acting like that. Really didn¡¯t think that you are the most underhanded person!
When Mu Yu Die once again reached out her hand, Wanyan Bao Zhu took a deep breath and in a momentum, strove to grab Mu Yu Die¡¯s hand.
¡°I caught the princess! Come help quickly!¡±
Mu Yu Die was very happy. She reached out her other hand to pull Wanyan Bao Zhu, but unexpectedly when everyone came over, they touched her injured foot. At that point, Mu Yu Die¡¯s foot felt immense pain. So painful that her face changed color. She couldn¡¯t help but relinquish her grip.
Seeing that Mu Yu Die still wanted to ¡®y¡¯ with her, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She tightly grasped Mu Yu Die¡¯s hand and then pulled her into theke with her.
¡°Let you trick me!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu fell into theke before Mu Yu Die. Now, she had almost adapted to the coldness of the water. Only Mu Yu Die, who had just fallen in, became numb because of the cold water. Taking advantage that Mu Yu Die was still adapting, Wanyan Bao Zhu put her arms around Mu Yu Die¡¯s neck, pressing Mu Yu Die in the water.
¡°Let you trick me, bitch! Dare to trick bengong!¡±
Mu Yu Die didn¡¯t understood the situation yet, as she had already been pressed into the water by Wanyan Bao Zhu and drank a few mouthfuls of water. When she came to understand that the other party was ¡®repaying kindness with hatred¡¯, Mu Yu Die also got angry. She grabbed Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s hair and began to fight with her in the water.
At this point, the scene became more chaotic. And Murong Qi Qi, who nearly fell onto the ground after being pushed off the stone bridge by people, was saved by someone. It¡¯s a man? Just as she sniffed the ambergris fragrance on the other party¡¯s body, Murong Qi Qi had already fallen into the arms of the other party.
Chapter 71 The first kiss (1)
Chapter 71 The first kiss (1)
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to stand well, that person pushed her away.
¡°Ugly thing! Go away!¡±
The one who spoke was the fifth prince, consort De¡¯s son Wanyan Kang.
Seeing the three-wed dragon embroidered on the other party¡¯s clothes, Murong Qi Qi guessed that he was a prince of Bei Zhou. As for his ¡®ugly thing¡¯, she didn¡¯t put that in her heart. She just gently said thanks and then retreated to one side to watch the y.
This woman didn¡¯t get angry? This made Wanyan Kang somewhat curious. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Murong Qi Qi twice more.
He was just kind-hearted and happened to pick up the woman who was falling to the ground. After seeing her appearance, while he was at it, he also donated her an ¡®ugly thing¡¯ sentence. Originally, he thought that this woman would cry. He didn¡¯t expect that her response would be so calm.
Moreover, she didn¡¯t seem to be in a bit of panic or feeling sad. Weren¡¯t women most concerned about their faces? Looking at her face, he was sure that he hadn¡¯t seen her before. Which family was this girl from? She¡¯s somewhat interesting, somewhat interesting!
¡°Fifth younger brother, princess and miss Mu fell into the water!¡±
The moment Yu Shi Shi saw Wanyan Kang, she acted as if she saw a ¡®savior¡¯. She immediately stepped forward to ask for help and also interrupted Wanyan Kang¡¯s interest in Murong Qi Qi.
Seeing Yu Shi Shi, Wanyan Kang changed his expression to a face with a mischievous smile.
¡°Yo, wanting to take a bath, don¡¯t need be like this, ah!¡±
Although the wordsing from his mouth were very vicious, but Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t watch the y. He stepped onto the surface of the water and came towards the two people. Each hand grabbed one at their hair, pulled them up and threw them onto the stone arch bridge. Then he also turned and went on the stone bridge.
¡°Little sister must be in a good mood to actually y in the water with miss Mu! It¡¯s just that it¡¯s this cold. Can¡¯t you feel it?¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Wanyan Bao Zhu began to feel cold. Soon afterwards, she sneezed twice. Ning er1 took a nket to wrap her in it. On the other side, there were also pce maids who wrapped the shaking Mu Yu Die in a nket.
Didn¡¯t expect that this matter would be finished like this. Murong Qi Qi felt a bit regretful. ording to her n, she would¡¯ve wanted to let them stay in the water for a bit longer. However, a Chen Yaojin happened to suddenly appear.
Chen Yaojin was a general who served in the Tang dynasty. The Chinese saying ¡®Chen Yaojin shows up suddenly along the way¡¯ is used to describe a situation where someone shows up unexpectedly and disrupts the n
In others¡¯ eyes, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression looked like she was kind of ¡®frightened¡¯. Yu Shi Shi¡¯s eyes swept once over Murong Qi Qi. Seeing her like that, she humphed lightly. In the end, she was someone useless. Just like this, she was frightened.
However, let them misunderstand! She didn¡¯t have much time to fight over jealousy with these women. If she had that energy, she might as well go take care of ¡®the world¡¯s best ce for business¡¯. By then, it¡¯s also good to y an owner.
As for the man of just now; he turned out to be fifth prince Wanyan Kang. No wonder that he would call her an ¡®ugly thing¡¯.
It was said that this fifth prince of Bei Zhou was extremely fond of beautiful things and beautiful people. In his eyes, everything that is in and ordinary is ugly. Not to mention that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance was now only ordinary, naturally she would be ssified in the category ¡®ugly thing¡¯ by him. This prince was a weird one of the imperial family.
Just in a moment, what happened at Sun and Moonke had been reported to Taiji Hall. The moment he heard that Murong Qi Qi was there, Feng Cang didn¡¯t have the time to say something to Wanyan Lie. His body shed and he rushed to theke.
Seeing Feng Cang like that, empress Li Bing was now even more certain about the conclusion of her guess. This Nan Lin wang2 really fell in love with that princess who hade to form a marriage alliance. If it wasn¡¯t like that, then why would he be so preupied and his mind elsewhere ever since the moment Murong Qi Qi left? His concern wasn¡¯t fake now that there¡¯s a problem.
It seemed that the idiom even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman was not false. Although Murong Qi Qi was not a beauty, but in the lover¡¯s eyes, she was. In Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Xi Shi.
Xi Shi is one of the four most beautiful women of China. Legend has it that she was so beautiful that even fishes will drown while staring at her. She lived in the times where Yue and Wu states were at war. Yue was defeated. The ministers of Yue suggested to offer beautiful women to the king of Wu as the king of Wu was known for being unable to resist beauties. One of the ministers Fan Li found Xi Shi. While training her, they fell in love with each other. However, Fan Li still gave her to the king of Wu. The king of Wu was so bewitched by her that he neglected state affairs and killed his best advisor. The king of Wu even built the Pce of Beautiful Women for her. The strength of Wu dwindled and the king of Yueunched his revenge. In the end, the king of Wu was defeated andmitted suicide. There are many versions of what happened to Xi Shi afterwards. The most known is that she drowned in the river. Another version is that she and Fan Li went away and no one ever saw them again. The other three beauties were Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan and the most famous of them all Yang Guifei (noble consort Yang). The sad thing is, they all died young hence there¡¯s a Chinese idiom ???? (hong yan bo ming) which means beautiful women suffer unhappy fates.
Since things were like this, the matter would be easy to handle. The old madam would surely not be able to tolerate Murong Qi Qi. If she helped and let Feng Cang get the beauty, then maybe Feng Cang would help Wanyan Hong to the throne.
This man, the moment he wanted to do something, he would certainly get it done. Rather than let him get his wish with his own power, she should let him be in debt with her. By that time, she can than mention her conditions.
At the Sun and Moonke, the crown princess saw Feng Cange over. Wanyan Hong followed behind him. He will not let Feng Cang and Yu Shi Shi have the opportunity to be alone together. Even if he doesn¡¯t like this woman, but she is his. He won¡¯t let anyone touch her. Even if he destroys her, she is his.
When Feng Cang arrived, Murong Qi Qi and the others had already moved to the nearest Orchid Pce. The pce maids brought warm water. Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die were bathing. Murong Qi Qi and Yu Shi Shi waited outside.
Yu Shi Shi was somewhat anxious because such a thing happened. What excuse should she use to let herself not suffer any me? After all, among these people, she was the crown princess and also the eldest. Consort De also repeatedly told her to take care of them. She didn¡¯t expect that princess and the prime minister¡¯s granddaughter would fall into theke. What should she do?!
Although the prime minister supported second prince Wanyan Yi, but on the surface, she still need to act decent. If people say that she was deliberately looking for an opportunity to make things difficult for Mu Yu Die, then even if she had ten mouths, she wouldn¡¯t be able to clear herself.
She had been married into the imperial family for many years now. She had seen many simr matters which were turned upside down. As long as there were political issues involved, even if it¡¯s the size of a sesame, in the end it can be rendered to an immeasurable point. Now Yu Shi Shi was no longer in the mood tough at Murong Qi Qi. She was worried about today¡¯s matter. Will it cause the prime minster to misunderstand? Will it affect Wanyan Hong¡¯s ¡®great cause¡¯?
Murong Qi Qi pretended that she didn¡¯t see Yu Shi Shi¡¯s tension. She kept her head down and yed with her fingers. Now she (YSS) knows how to be afraid? Just now, what did she (YSS) do? Whatever, this matter has nothing to do with her, Murong Qi Qi. She only needs to watch the y.
Murong Qi Qi ying with her fingers, attracted the attention of Wanyan Kang.
The ¡®ugly thing¡¯ sentence just now didn¡¯t make Murong Qi Qi cry, which already let Wanyan Kang be very surprised. In his memory, as long as it¡¯s a woman hearing another say she is ugly, even if she doesn¡¯t cry, she would sulk. However, this girl seemed like she didn¡¯t hear anything. Very interesting!
For the first time, Wanyan Kang discovered such a ¡®unique¡¯ woman. So, he also followed to Orchid Pce. Seeing Murong Qi Qi y with her fingers, he came to her and looked at her ying with her fingers. Just one look, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t take his eyes off them anymore. This person is an ¡®ugly thing¡¯. So why are her hands so beautiful?
¡°Hey, ugly thing. Your hands are quite beautiful!¡±
Wanyan Kang was but seventeen or eighteen. He was wearing a silver robe. He had small eyes and long eyebrows. He looked somewhat like Wanyan Hong, but he didn¡¯t have Wanyan Hong¡¯s dark aura. Instead, he seemed bright and someone to trifle without respect apanied with the noble aura at his every gesture, he had a hint of the taste of a ck belly. Plus, the smirk he had on his mouth, with one look you would know that he¡¯s a spoiled prince.
¡°Really?¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised her head and smiled sweetly: ¡°Once, someone else said so!¡±
¡°Oh? Who?¡±
Hearing that someone has the same ¡®standard of appreciating beautiful things¡¯ as him, Wanyan Kang immediately became interested. He must get to know that person and learn from each other about the perception of ¡®beauty¡¯.
¡°It¡¯s.......¡±
Murong Qi Qi hasn¡¯t finished yet, when she fell into a familiar embrace. And Wanyan Kang at her side was sent flying.
¡°Qing Qing, are you alright?!¡±
Feng Cang quickly checked Murong Qi Qi from head to toe. Only after seeing that she didn¡¯t get hurt, did he let out a sigh of relief.
At the other side, Wanyan Kang sensed a murderous aura. He quickly turned around and hid nearby. Only after he stood firm, did he see Feng Cang.
¡°Cousin brother, you want tomit homicide, ah?!¡±
Wanyan Kang immediately shouted exaggeratedly. However, there¡¯s happiness on his face. This Wanyan Kang had always had a good rtionship with Feng Cang. Seeing that Feng Cang had returned, he immediately went forward and wanted to give him a hug.
¡°Stop......¡±
He hadn¡¯t reached Feng Cang yet, when Murong Qi Qi shouted to stop him. Only then did Wanyan Kang see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s posture. It¡¯s very amorous. Very, very amorous! Murong Qi Qi was entirely in Feng Cang¡¯s embrace. Wanyan Kang had never seen such a scene before. His chin almost fell on the ground.
¡°Fifth royal highness, you have bad habits. That¡¯s alright. It¡¯s your choice, but don¡¯t stick to our family¡¯s wangye, ah! Otherwise, if outsiders see it, they would think our family¡¯s wangye is a cut sleeve. How would that be alright?!
cut sleeve: euphemism for homosexuality, originating from History of Western Han: emperor Han Aidi (real name Liu Xin) was in bed with his lover Dong Xian, and had to attend a court audience that morning. Not wishing to awaken Dong Xian, who was sleeping with his head resting on the emperor¡¯s long robe sleeve, Aidi used a knife to cut off the lower half of his sleeve.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was sweet and gentle, making the hearts of the people who hear it turn soft and itchy. However, the wordsing out of her mouth was able to anger people to death! Wanyan Kang understood that Murong Qi Qi was ridiculing him by saying he¡¯s a cut sleeve. This made Wanyan Kang so angry that he nearly went mad!
¡°Who said that?! I¡¯m not a cut sleeve! I like women! Women, do you understand, ugly thing?!¡±
Wanyan Kang using ¡®ugly thing¡¯ to describe Murong Qi Qi made Feng Cang¡¯s expression sank: ¡°Wanyan Kang, who did you call ugly thing?¡±
¡°I say it¡¯s......,¡± Wanyan Kang suddenly paused. He looked at Murong Qi Qi and then looked at Feng Cang. He has an expression of sudden realization.
¡°Cousin brother, she¡¯s the princes who came for a marriage alliance? She¡¯s that mysterious woman you hid in Tingsong building? She¡¯s the Murong Qi Qi for who you went into a confrontation with grandmother and also wanted to give up the tiger tally?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s bengong.3 Thanking royal highness for your help just now, thanks!¡±
Murong Qi Qi wanted to pay her respect to Wanyan Kang. Unexpectedly, she didn¡¯t get the chance to move as Wanyan Kang got out of the way and waved with his hand.
¡°No, no, no. I don¡¯t want you to pay me respect! In the future, you will be my cousin-inw. Making cousin-inw pay respect to me will have my life shortened. This young master doesn¡¯t want that!¡±
Finally, Feng Cang¡¯s expression turned better after Wanyan Kang used ¡®cousin-inw¡¯ to call Murong Qi Qi and didn¡¯t bother him (WK) anymore about the ¡®ugly thing¡¯ of just now. After seeing Feng Cang¡¯s expression had turned better, Wanyan Kang let out a relieved breath. Hu hu, that was a close call, ah! If he had known Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity, he wouldn¡¯t have made cousin brother angry!
Seeing Wanyan Kang¡¯s relieved expression, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but want to tease him. Just now, he called her ¡®ugly thing¡¯ many times. She didn¡¯t bother with it, but that didn¡¯t mean she wasn¡¯t angry. After all, there are no women who liked to be called that.
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi smiled at Wanyan Kang. This smile was sweet like flowers in the spring, but Wanyan Kang keenly sensed conspiracy inside it. His heart rmed. This woman didn¡¯t make her identity known before, making cousin brother swat him like a fly. What kind of tricks does she want to y now?
¡°Just now, didn¡¯t royal highness want to know who else praised my hands for being beautiful? It¡¯s wangye, ah! When I met wangye for the first time, wangye said my hands are beautiful.¡±
Murong Qi Qi stretched her arms out to show Wanyan Kang her white jade-like small hands.
Very beautiful, ah! Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands, Wanyan Kang was in a daze for a moment. It¡¯s the first time he has seen such beautiful hands! Really don¡¯t know how they will feel when touched......
Not waiting for Wanyan Kang¡¯s fantasy to finish, a gust of wind came towards him. Danger! Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart was eximing that this was bad. He quickly got out of the way, but was a beat too slow. Finally, he fell on his butt on the ground. So painful that he gritted his teeth to not make a sound.
The next moment, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands were already in Feng Cang¡¯s palms. He personally hid Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands in her sleeves and didn¡¯t let Wanyan Kang have the chance to take even one more nce.
¡°You did it on purpose!¡±
Being fanned by Feng Cang to the ground in front of so many people, Wanyan Kang¡¯s expression turned very ugly. He finally knew that Murong Qi Qi did that on purpose. Her motive was to provoke the contradiction between him and Feng Cang. Right, that woman must be thinking that!
¡°Just now, didn¡¯t royal highness use ugly thing to call me again and again? Could it be that royal highness doesn¡¯t know that a woman¡¯s heart is as small as a needle? Everything else that can be said is alright with me, but I¡¯m very narrow-minded. I remember very well all who bullied or offended me. Royal highness, I have a name. My name is not ugly thing. If next time royal highness is as impolite, then I¡¯ll......¡±
¡°What will you do?!¡±
Wanyan Kang stood up and rubbed his butt. Feng Cang went too hard on him. Was she not just an ugly thing?! He (FC) actually used his hands on him (WK). Really too mean!
¡°Then, I can only ask wangye for help!¡±
Murong Qi Qi putting Feng Cang out made Wanyan Kangpletely not have a way out. Just now, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were like des. If they were really des, then he (WK) was afraid that his (WK) eyes would¡¯ve been dug out by now. Before, Wanyan Kang only heard that Feng Cang pampered Murong Qi Qi very much. He didn¡¯t expect that he pampered her to this extent.
It¡¯s just that cousin brother¡¯s possessiveness was too much! He just looked once, only once, and he (FC) felt the need to disce a killing intent! Wanyan Kang is not a fool. He saw very clearly how much Feng Cang cared about Murong Qi Qi.
At this point, Wanyan Kang made up his mind. In the future, he needs to mingle with Murong Qi Qi.
Since Murong Qi Qi was the person in Feng Cang¡¯s heart, he only needed to get in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s favor. Then, Feng Cang cousin brother will certainly be happy. By that time, he (FC) might let him (WK) train in the military, lest to not let him be idle in the capital all day long.
¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯m afraid of you! I apologize to you!¡±
Here he doesn¡¯t mean he is afraid of MQQ. Chinese use the phrase ¡®I¡¯m afraid of you¡¯ when they admit defeat and can¡¯t endure it any longer.
After Wanyan Kang said that, he actually bowed to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Cousin-inw, forgive this little brother! This little brother has eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai! In the future, such a thing won¡¯t happen again!¡±
Have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai: fail to recognize somebody important; to be blind to the fact. Mount Tai is a mountain with historical and cultural significance in China. It¡¯s the most sacred mountain of China. It¡¯s associated with sunrise, birth and renewal.
This bow let Murong Qi Qi know this prince¡¯s personality. Didn¡¯t think that in the pce of Bei Zhou, there¡¯s actually such an interesting person! Seeing Feng Cang, their rtionship doesn¡¯t seem bad. Then, she will consider him as one of their own!
Originally, Yu Shi Shi was thinking about how to solve the problem. Ever since Feng Cang appeared, she had been repressing her heartbeat. Her eyes were following him. After witnessing how Feng Cang pampered Murong Qi Qi, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s heart was in pain like a knife was digging at it. Especially when Murong Qi Qi used ¡®our family¡¯s wangye¡¯ again and again, her voice was very ear-piercing.
Now, seeing that Murong Qi Qi was able to get familiar with Wanyan Kang, who had the weirdest personality of the imperial family, in such a short time, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s expression looked somewhat bad. Plus, hearing Wanyan Kang calling Murong Qi Qi ¡®cousin-inw¡¯, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s jealousy expandedpletely.
¡°Fifth little brother, princess Zhao Yang and wangye¡¯s marriage isn¡¯t set yet. You saying it like this would make people misunderstand. It¡¯s not good for the reputation of a girl!¡±
Yu Shi Shi softly opened her mouth. Every word was like, she was considerate about Murong Qi Qi. However,ing out of her mouth, the words revealed a deep jealousy.
How would Wanyan Kang not know what Yu Shi Shi was thinking? He grinned and lightly humphed from his nose.
¡°Imperial sister-inw, the person involved doesn¡¯t care, so why would you worry? In the end, is it cousin brother who is marrying or is it imperial brother who is marrying, ah? As long as cousin brother likes her, what does it matter what other people think?!¡±
Wanyan Kang saying it so beautifully was very much to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s liking. Seeing Yu Shi Shi be so angry that even her nose was crooked, Murong Qi Qi wanted tough, but her face was full of modesty. The next moment, she stepped out of Feng Cang¡¯s embrace.
¡°Crown princess is right. It¡¯s bengong who was negligent. Wangye, bengong is not wangfei yet, there are differences between man and woman!¡±
Murong Qi Qi lowered her head slightly with a well-behaved expression. Seeing her like this, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s heart got somewhat morefortable. After all, seeing Feng Cang embrace Murong Qi Qi was eye-piercing. Her eyes felt painful like a needle was poking into them.
Yu Shi Shi wasn¡¯t even happy for two seconds, when Murong Qi Qi once again fell into Feng Cang¡¯s embrace.
¡°This is benwang¡¯s4 domestic affairs. Don¡¯t need to trouble crown princess to worry!¡±
Such cold words hit her directly like thorns, making Yu Shi Shi feel pain over her whole body.
¡°Wangye, I did it for your own good.......¡±
Just as Yu Shi Shi¡¯s tears were about to fall, a gloomy voice came from behind her: ¡°Beloved consort, can you put the heart of caring for other people onto this crown prince, ah?!¡±
¡°Your, your highness!¡±
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Her expression immediately changed. From the one full of grieving to the now gentle and dignified expression. Such a fast change that even Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but want to raise her thumbs to praise her. Master, really a master! Changing expression is even faster than turning a page!
¡°Your highness, howe you came?¡±
Yu Shi Shi just turned, when she was locked into Wanyan Hong¡¯s embrace.
¡°This crown prince is worried about you, ah!¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes swept once over Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang. Finally, his eyes fell on Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face.
¡°En, good. You didn¡¯t lose anything!¡±
These words made Yu Shi Shi extremely embarrassed and Murong Qi Qi was able to see how this couple got along with each other. However, Feng Cang didn¡¯t speak and Wanyan Kang was looking at the ceiling. He was even singing a song. Murong Qi Qi simply continued to pretend to be a small white rabbit.
When emperor, empress, consort De and the others arrived, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die had already changed into new clothes. Their hair were also neatlybed. There was not a single trace of the embarrassment of just now.
¡°What happened?¡±
Wanyan Lie looked at Yu Shi Shi. On the way here, Consort De Lin Ke Xin had exined what happened. Now, it¡¯s Yu Shi Shi¡¯s turn to exin.
Yu Shi Shi exined what happened in a simple way. In the end, she added one more sentence: ¡°Daughter-inw was a bit far and didn¡¯t see clearly. Princess Zhao Yang is one of the involved parties. Emperor father can ask princess Zhao Yang.¡±
TL Note:
When imperial family or court officials refer to themselves in front of someone of higher rank, they will use chen. For example, erchen (subject son/daughter, used by children of the emperor), chenqie (subject wife/concubine, used by wives of the imperial family), chenxi (subject daughter inw, used by daughter inws of the emperor), chennu (daughter of your subject, used by daughters of officials). This means that before they are family, they are subject to the emperor first.
Chapter 72 The first kiss (2)
Chapter 72 The first kiss (2)
It seemed that this woman really hated her! After hearing Yu Shi Shi¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi made a judgement of her. She pushed away all responsibility. With one sentence ¡®did not see clearly¡¯, she got rid of all rtion. Now, she pushed her (MQQ) out. Does she (YSS) think that she (MQQ) really is a pushover who everyone can bully?
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t be afraid. Say what you saw.¡±
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand and seemed to cheer for her. In fact, it¡¯s also telling everyone that he¡¯s standing on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side.
With Feng Cang¡¯s support, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s confidence was enough. She pretended to recall what had happened. Her expression paled. Her voice began to tremble. Her voice pointed at pce maid Ning er1 who was standing at Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s side.
¡°Worms......many worms......Then I fell. Fifth royal highness saved me.¡±
Such short sentences made people unable to guess the content. The people who heard it became even more puzzled. They didn¡¯t know what kind of meaning this princess Zhao Yang wanted to express. It¡¯s the eloquent Wanyan Kang who then tranted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words.
¡°Emperor father, it¡¯s this pce maid who poured the worms on princess Zhao Yang. Princess Zhao Yang was afraid. As she was taking a step back, she slipped and fell. As for how miss Mu pushed little sister into theke and how she was then pulled into theke by little sister, this subject son doesn¡¯t know a thing about it.¡±
ck, really a ck belly! Hearing Wanyan Kang¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi almost vomited blood. You already said that it¡¯s Mu Yu Die who pushed Wanyan Bao Zhu into the water and then she herself was pulled into the water by Wanyan Bao Zhu, in the end you still say you don¡¯t know anything? This fifth prince was a ck belly to the extreme.
Having this testimony of Wanyan Kang, the truth about the ¡®falling into water¡¯ incident came out. Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die also didn¡¯t have anything to say. They red once at each other, full of hate.
¡°It¡¯s good that nothing happened. It¡¯s good that everyone is safe!¡±
Empress Li Bing smoothed things over. As long as this incident had nothing to do with crown princess Yu Shi Shi, then she was relieved. The empress wanted to let this incident pass, but someone was not willing.
¡°Ai, this poor child. You must be certainly frightened!¡±
Lin Ke Xin saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression, and her mouth showed much heartache: ¡°Empress, it¡¯s chenqie¡¯s2 fault. Chenqie¡¯s body is weak. Just took two breezes and my head felt a powerful headache. I had to let crown princess take care of them. Didn¡¯t expect that such a thing would happen......¡±
One sentence let all the responsibility fall onto Yu Shi Shi again. This crown princess Yu Shi Shi was the empress¡¯s daughter-inw. How could consort De let her be well?
After listening to Lin Ke Xin¡¯s words, Wanyan Lie nodded: ¡°Crown princess, you are also responsible for this incident. When you go back, shut yourself up and ponder over your mistake for one month! As for pce maid Ning er, she knows the rules and still offended her superior. Drag her out and beat her to death!¡±
¡°Daughter-inw epts the decree.¡±
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face was pale. Her body shook a bit. Obviously, this incident didn¡¯t have anything to do with her. Why was it that it had turned around in a circle, that the one who would receive punishment was her?!
As for Ning er, she had it even more bitter. She knelt and kowtowed.
¡°Emperor, have mercy! Emperor, have mercy! This ve knows this ve¡¯s wrongdoing. Emperor, have mercy!¡±
Seeing that emperor father wanted to sentence Ning er to death, Wanyan Bao Zhu also got anxious.
¡°Emperor father, Ning er didn¡¯t do it on purpose! This is not Ning er¡¯s fault. It¡¯s this subject daughter who let her go get the fish food! Emperor, have mercy! Ning er served this subject daughter since little. This subject daughter is already ustomed with using her. Emperor father, don¡¯t kill Ning er! Asking emperor father to please have mercy!¡±
One word of the son of heaven is worth nine sacred tripods. Once those words came out, naturally they cannot be recovered. So Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t soften at his daughter¡¯s tears. It just so happened that empress and Consort De helped with Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s plea, making Wanyan Lie¡¯s frown loosen up a bit.
One word of the son of heaven is worth nine sacred tripods: one word of the emperor has enormous weight. It means that the emperor cannot easily go back on his words.
¡°Emperor, since this incident has something to do with princess Zhao Yang, why don¡¯t we listen to her opinion?!¡±
After all, she¡¯s a person who shares a bed with Wanyan Lie. Only a subtle movement from him, and Lin Ke Xin can figure his mind out clearly. After seeing that Wanyan Lie wanted to let Ning er off the hook, but because he had opened his golden mouth and couldn¡¯t go back on his words, Lin Ke Xin found a way out for Wanyan Lie.
Ultimately, this ball was kicked back to Murong Qi Qi. The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu saw that things could turn out for the better, she quickly let Ning er go beg Murong Qi Qi.
Although Ning er was full of tears, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t see the slightest remorse in her eyes. Even Wanyan Bao Zhu let out a breath, thinking that she wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to Ning er.
Ai, this master and servant, ah. They really misjudged her!
¡°At home, there are rules of the home. On a country, there arews of the country. Qi Qi doesn¡¯t dare to be presumptuous and change the decision of the son of heaven!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nced once ¡®full of fear¡¯ at the emperor. With a soft voice, she kicked the ball back to him and tightly closed Ning er¡¯s way to survival. Since Murong Qi Qi said it like that, Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t go back. One order, Ning er¡¯s mouth became blocked and she was dragged out. Outside, she was directly beaten to death.
A weing banquet ended with the death of a pce maid. Outside the pce gate, Murong Qi Qi took a deep breath. The pce and her really don¡¯t mesh well. Why was it that every time she went into the pce, there would always be people dying?
Murong Qi Qi taking a breath had been seen by Wanyan Kang. He couldn¡¯t help but open his mouth to tease her: ¡°Cousin-inw, in the future you need to be careful, ah! Today, Ning er died. Bao Zhu will certainly put this thing on your head. That girl bear grudges very strongly. You need to be careful!¡±
Obviously, it¡¯s good advice, buting out from Wanyan Kang¡¯s mouth, it had the taste of him wanting to watch a ¡®y¡¯.
Murong Qi Qi pretended to not understand the meaning of Wanyan Kang¡¯s words. She looked at Wanyan Kang confusedly.
¡°Royal highness, why would princess me me? Was it not the emperor who sentenced her to death? This is Ning er¡¯s blessing, ah! Wangye3 don¡¯t you think so?¡±
It so happened that Feng Cang nodded.
¡°Indeed, it¡¯s her blessing!¡±
¡°Blessing?¡±
This word choked Wanyan Kang half to death. Was this princess Zhao really na?ve or was she pretending to be na?ve, ah? Why was cousin brother also following her in ying the fool, ah? Not waiting for Wanyan Kang to understand, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage slowly drifted away.
Inside the carriage, Murong Qi Qi was leaning against Feng Cang¡¯s chest. She closed her eyes slightly. In her mind, she was thinking about Yu Shi Shi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtionship. Although, today she had met many infatuated flowers, but in her heart, Murong Qi Qi felt that this infatuated flower was somewhat different. She didn¡¯t know how it was different. However, the hatred emitting from her (YSS) towards her (MQQ) was a lot strongerpared to the others.
¡°Frightened?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s big hand was on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ck hair.
¡°No.¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head. She wasn¡¯t afraid of those worms. There were many things more frightening than worms, such as people¡¯s hearts.......
¡°Do you have anything you want to say?¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi remained silent and was not the same as usual, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but inquire into this little wangfei¡¯s4 heart.
¡°Wangye, there¡¯s something that I don¡¯t know if I should say it or not.¡±
¡°Say it. What is it that let my Qing Qing be sulky?¡±
Only when Feng Cang said that did Murong Qi Qi be aware that ever since she had stepped inside the carriage, she had been unhappy. Could it be because of Yu Shi Shi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtionship?
¡°Wangye, the way crown princess looks at me is very strange. It¡¯s as if she is looking at a love rival. You say, what does she mean, ah? Is she eyeing what¡¯s in the pot as she eats from her bowl? Is she standing next to crown prince and still misses you, ah?¡±
Eyeing what¡¯s in the pot as she eats from her bowl: not content with what one already has/ wandering eye.
Murong Qi Qi twisted her hair in her fingers and bit her lips. A pair of watery eyes looked at Feng Cang, making him almost lose his soul. So, it¡¯s because of Yu Shi Shi? His little wangfei saying that, could it be that she¡¯s a bit jealous? Feng Cang felt somewhat happy.
¡°She and I once had a marriage agreement. Half a month before the marriage, she suddenly cancelled the agreement and married Wanyan Hong.¡±
Feng Cang concisely summed up in a few words what his rtionship with Yu Shi Shi was.
¡°Oh......?¡±
Hearing Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®exnation¡¯, Murong Qi Qi stretched her voice and didn¡¯t ask any further.
The silence made Feng Cang feel ufortable. He gentle patted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose twice.
¡°What kind of rtionship did Qing Qing think we have?¡±
¡°At the very least, it should be childhood sweethearts.¡±
Murong Qi Qi vaguely remembered that the other girls mentioned childhood sweethearts. Those girls certainly said it on purpose for her to hear. So, she still remembered.
¡°Childhood sweethearts?¡±
This was the first time Feng Cang heard such words. So, the others thought that he and Yu Shi Shi¡¯s rtionship was that of childhood sweethearts? What a joke! It¡¯s just that when they were young, their parents knew each other and also had some connections with each other. They saw each other a few times only. Howe they had be childhood sweethearts to everyone? No wonder every time crown prince looked at him, his demeanor was not right. Could it be because of this?
Listening to the tone in Feng Cang¡¯s voice, Murong Qi Qi becamepletely rest assured.
If a man uses a cold, ruthless and with some disdain type of voice to mention a woman, then that woman certainly doesn¡¯t have any ce in his heart. Besides, Feng Cang¡¯s voice also had a trace of disgust as if, if he goes to touch that person, he would get dirty. Could it be that this was the so-called obsession with cleanliness?
¡°Wangye, you are so ruthless, thosedies¡¯ hearts will certainly be broken!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood was very good. This also let Feng Cang¡¯s face be full ofughter.
¡°Qing Qing is now at ease?¡±
Her state of mind being pointed out by Feng Cang made Murong Qi Qi immediately feel embarrassed. Her small face turned pinkish. She nced at Feng Cang. Seeing the smile in his eyes, Murong Qi Qi felt even more embarrassed. She hid her face to not let Feng Cangugh at her.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi hide her head like an ostrich, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t love her enough. He reached out and took her into his embrace.
¡°Little fool, don¡¯t restrain yourself too much! Come out!¡±
¡°No!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stubbornly shook her head. What a shame! All those thoughts had been seen through by Feng Cang.
¡°Come out, alright?! I promise not tough at you. Really!¡±
Feng Cang coaxed Murong Qi Qi with a soft voice and gentle words. It¡¯s just that she refused. Only when they had arrived at the entrance of wangfu5, did Murong Qi Qi raise her red head.
¡°Feng Cang, there¡¯s one thing I want to tell you.¡±
Although, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was still pink, but her eyes were clear and thorough. Her voice was also very serious.
¡°What?!¡±
¡°I have love phobia. I have no way of epting polygamy. Besides, I also have no way of epting my husband having other women. My man, no matter if it¡¯s his body or heart, must bepletely belong to me. Being touched by others, no matter if it¡¯s unintentional or intentional, I will feel dirty. Rather than living in torture together, it¡¯s better to leave alone, free and easy.¡±
Murong Qi Qi said that very seriously. Feng Cang also listened very seriously. He didn¡¯t expect that his little wangfei¡¯s personality is so resolute! This is quite to his taste. Their thoughts coincide and are the same!
¡°Qing Qing, I assure you, my whole body from head to toe is very clean without any impurities. Aside from the time when I was young and my mother bathed me, there are no other women who has seen my body, let alone touch it. I absolutely meet your requirements. Moreover, with Qing Qing in it, my heart has no room for other people. Not to mention being intimate with others. Even if you don¡¯t feel dirty, I will think it¡¯s dirty!¡±
After some silence, Feng Cang added two sentences: ¡°Today, I gave my first kiss to you. Qing Qing must take responsibility!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t react for a long time to the ¡®first kiss¡¯ Feng Cang mentioned. When she remembered the kiss Feng Cang ced on her forehead at the banquet, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face burned badly.
¡°Qing Qing, will you take responsibility?¡±
Feng Cang moved closer to Murong Qi Qi and shot a flirtatious nce at her. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body immediately shivered. This man, whether he¡¯s being cold and ruthless or acting spoiled like this, he was still the most outrageous out of all the outrageous.
¡°Qing Qing won¡¯t take responsibility towards me; I can¡¯t continue live anymore!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer for half a day, Feng Cang clutched his face and pretended to cry. This time, Murong Qi Qi was out of words. How could he cry whenever he wants? She has never met such a man as Feng Cang.
¡°Alright, I will be responsible for you.¡±
Sobbing for a long time and finally heard this sentence, Feng Cang immediately smiled and took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace.
¡°Qing Qing, why don¡¯t we pledge our love with a kiss?!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to react, Feng Cang¡¯s lips was already on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips.
Ice cold, this was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s first feeling. Why was it so cold? Even though now it¡¯s winter, Feng Cang¡¯s body temperature was not like ordinary people. Wasn¡¯t senior brother already performing treatment for Feng Cang? Why was it that after so many years, he still didn¡¯t get any better? What kind of problem does Feng Cang¡¯s body exactly have?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts already flew to the highest cloud. How would she remember that now it¡¯s their first kiss and she needed to be serious about it?!
¡°Qing Qing, you didn¡¯t concentrate!¡±
After realizing that this little person¡¯s mind was elsewhere, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes showed that he was injured.
Only when the cold disappeared from her lips and at her ears sounded the resentful voice of Feng Cang, did Murong Qi Qi became aware that her behavior was too much and would hurt a man¡¯s ¡®self-esteem¡¯.
¡°Wangye, I, I, it wasn¡¯t on purpose......¡±
¡°How can Qing Qing¡¯s heart not have another?¡±
Feng Cang raised Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chin and looked at her in the eyes. The result of his first kiss really let Feng Cang feel surprised. His little wangfei¡¯s mind actually wandered off, making him unable to not want to know Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind.
¡°There isn¡¯t.¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head quickly to exin.
¡°I only felt that wangye¡¯s temperature is different from ordinary people. Don¡¯t know what kind of medicine wangye is usually taking? Why is your body so cold?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s questions were very subtle, but it made Feng Cang surprised for a moment.
So, it was like that! She was worried about him. He actually misunderstood her! He didn¡¯t expect that she was so careful and so considerate. With just a small detail, she was able to think of so much.
¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just some old diseases. I¡¯m already working with the treatment of Jin Mo! I believe that after a while, he will be able to find a cure for me!¡±
Feng Cang only said two sentences about the problems on his body. He didn¡¯t want to scare Murong Qi Qi and didn¡¯t want her to be too worried. Especially about gu poison, he didn¡¯t want Murong Qi Qi to know. He didn¡¯t even more want Murong Qi Qi to see his appearance when the disease was acting up. This matter, if he could hide it, he would hide it!
Feng Cang said it with so much certainty that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t think about it anymore. Murong Qi Qi believed in Jin Mo¡¯s skills. In the past, master said that although Jin Mo was somewhat heartless and long-winded, but his skills were excellent. With this senior brother here, Feng Cang would certainly be alright.
At this side, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feelings advanced one more step. At the other side, Yu Shi Shi was receiving inhuman torture.
The crown prince¡¯s carriage had entered the East Pce. It stopped at the entrance of the study, but for a long time, no one hade down. Towards such happenings, the servants at the East Pce were already used to. They continued what they were doing. No one was concerned about why the crown prince and the crown princess still hadn¡¯te out of the carriage.
The East Pce is the ce where every prince lives when they be crown prince until the moment they be the emperor.

Chapter 73 The enemy (1)
Chapter 73 The enemy (1)
In the past, this woman came to beg him, saying that she didn¡¯t want to marry Feng Cang and that she was being forced to. She used flower-like tears to touch him, making him stand up against Feng Cang. Finally, he boosted her to the position of crown princess.
Originally, Wanyan Hong believed that everything she had said was true. Onlyter on, did he discover that in Yu Shi Shi¡¯s heart, there¡¯s another cunning plot.
That year, since Feng Cang¡¯s body became sick, Wanyan Lie finally dispelled the intention of making Feng Cang the crown prince. She couldn¡¯t be the crown princess, couldn¡¯t be the empress, that¡¯s why she cancelled the engagement before marriage. That¡¯s why she climbed onto his bed like a dog and begged him, the just-been-titled crown prince.
And he was stupid enough to believe her and thought that he was the hero saving a young maiden from the ws of something evil. He didn¡¯t think that this woman didn¡¯t actually care about him one bit. All she cared about was his status, his position as crown prince and all the splendor and riches he could bring to her.
Now, she gave birth to the first imperial grandson. Her position is more secure now. So, she doesn¡¯t need him anymore. Her sinking, lonely heart is also beginning to miss her old lover. She is also deliberately thinking about how to let him, a country¡¯s crown prince, wear a green hat. This woman is really a slut!
¡°Your highness, calm down your anger!¡±
A young man, with his face covered in white powder and his lips had a touch of red paint, came to Wanyan Hong. Soft hands touched Wanyan Hong¡¯s body.
¡°Hurting your body because of anger, this person will feel heartache!¡±
This young man was but fifteen years old. His features were delicate. It¡¯s just that his face was covered in white powder, which made it difficult to see his original face.
¡°Your highness, let Nu er1 serve you!¡±
While the boy was talking, he pulled Wanyan Hong¡¯s hand and let his hand probe into his thin clothes. When he touched the smooth surface inside, Wanyan Hong¡¯s face showed a smile.
¡°It¡¯s still Nu er who is good! Come, this crown prince will pamper you very well!¡±
¡°Your highness, you¡¯re really bad......¡±
Inside the room, it was spring. Yu Shi Shi dreamed a beautiful dream. She dreamed about her and Feng Cang. He loved her very much and showed her so much affection. He let her go to the clouds and she also tried her best to meet all his......
¡°It seems that beloved consort is very satisfied with this crown prince¡¯s arrangement. It seems that you want more......¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s peculiar voice came into her ears. Yu Shi Shi raised her head. She saw Wanyan Hong lying on the couch at one side with a boy in his arms and he looked coldly at her.
¡°Ah......¡±
Yu Shi Shi quickly pulled up the quilt to cover herself. She didn¡¯t cover herself fully yet, when Wanyan Hong¡¯s sneer went into her ears.
¡°What¡¯s there to cover? Which part of your body hasn¡¯t this crown prince seen?¡±
¡°Your highness!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Hong was talking to her like that in front of a boy, Yu Shi Shi was somewhat ufortable. Besides, the way it looked, that person of just now was certainly not Wanyan Hong. This bastard! He used such a way to humiliate her! Why does he need to treat her like this?! Doesn¡¯t he care even a bit that his woman is being insulted by others?
¡°Ah......¡±
As if he saw through Yu Shi Shi and knew that she was cursing him in her heart, Wanyan Hong¡¯s big hand stroked the boy¡¯s back, but his eyes were staring at the white shoulder of Yu Shi Shi.
¡°Don¡¯t pretend anymore in front of this crown prince! Just now, didn¡¯t you scream very happily?! If Feng Cang was here, seeing you are so infatuated with him; even when while making love, you don¡¯t forget to call out his name, he will certainly be moved!¡±
¡°Your highness......¡±
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face paled.
¡°Don¡¯t call this crown prince. This crown prince finds you dirty!¡±
Wanyan Hong stood up. He still hugged the boy and refused to let go.
¡°Beloved consort, since emperor father punished you with thinking behind closed-door for a month, then you can stay in the study! As for Jie er, this crown prince will let Mei cefei2 help look after him for a few days. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
While hugging the boy, Wanyan Hong walked out of the study. Immediately, someonee to lock the door.
¡°No, no!¡±
The moment she heard that Wanyan Hong wanted to let other people look after her son Wanyan Jie, she no longer cared that she was not wearing any clothes and quickly got off the bed. Barefoot, she rushed to the door and beat hard on it.
¡°No, your highness! Jie er is my son! Don¡¯t break us apart! No!¡±
After listening to the pleas of Yu Shi Shi, Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t turn around. His mouth showed a satirical smile.
¡°Look after crown princess well!¡±
Wanyan Hong left with big steps, leaving Yu Shi Shi a cruel back. Seeing that he¡¯s so cold and ruthless, Yu Shi Shi gritted her teeth. In her eyes was only hate. He finds her dirty? Why doesn¡¯t he take a look at himself and see how disgusting he is? If she had known that he was a pervert and liked men, she wouldn¡¯t have chosen him. It would¡¯ve been better to choose the sick Feng Cang!
Thinking of Feng Cang, thinking about everything she had missed, thinking about the ridicule she had suffered at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands in the day, Yu Shi Shi hated so much that her teeth itched. Was he not sick and about to die? Why was he now getting better every day? If she had known that it would be like this, she wouldn¡¯t have cancelled the marriage.
What should she do now? Wanyan Hong¡¯s meaning was to put her in captivity and also put Wanyan Jie under Mei Ji. How could she let that happen?!
That is the child she carried for ten months before finally giving birth to him. How could he be put at Mei Ji, that whore¡¯s side?! She had used a lot of effort to let Wanyan Hong finally climb into her bed. Even thought it was just one time, but she had a lucky life and got a son with the first try. Now that slut Mei Ji was given that advantage for free. How could she let that happen?!
Moreover, Wanyan Jie was the eldest imperial grandson; he¡¯s her fundamental person to settle down in the East Pce, ah! He¡¯s also her important bargaining chess piece in the imperial family, ah! This thing cannot happen. She cannot let Wanyan Hong steal the thing she relied on. Men cannot be relied on, that¡¯s fine, but she must protect her son!
Jin Xuan Pce.
The light of the sunset fell on the red wells, making it very shiny. Empress dowager Dongfang Lan leaned on a rocking chair. In her arms, she held a white poodle. Beside her stood Qing Gu, who had followed her for half her life.
¡°Qing Gu, you say that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t suffer at the hands of Bao Zhu and that girl from Mu family?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, empress dowager niangniang3.¡±
¡°Hehehe......¡± Dongfang Lanughed twice. In her mind emerged that pair of bright like the spring sun eyes of Murong Qi Qi. Who do they resemble? This feeling was really familiar......
She thought for a long time, but still couldn¡¯t think of who Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes resembled. In the end, Dongfang Lan simply didn¡¯t think about it anymore. Instead, she switched to another topic: ¡°Qing Gu, yesterday aijia4 didn¡¯t dream about Ming Yue. You say, is it that Ming Yue and Feng Xie went to reincarnate with their child? Since Ming Yue¡¯s suicide, every night aijia will dream about them. But yesterday, they didn¡¯te. Aijia is really not ustomed......¡±
Looking at the empress dowager¡¯s white hairs, Qing Gu took a coat and draped it over her.
¡°Miss, this is a good thing, ah! Do the folk not say that when dreaming about a family member who passed away, it means that this family member couldn¡¯t let go of the loved one(s) on earth and is reluctant to go into reincarnation. Now, you didn¡¯t dream about princess and prince consort, maybe they know that emperor is filial to you, that¡¯s why they are finally at ease and the whole family went to reincarnate.¡±
Qing Gu¡¯s exnation let Dongfang Lan nod her head thoughtfully.
¡°Reincarnate is good lest to let aijia worry about them every day. Qing Gu, ah. It¡¯s been so many years. Only you still stayed at aijia¡¯s side and still call aijia miss......The emperor is indeed filial but after all, he is not aijia¡¯s biological son. Qing Gu, after aijia passes away, you also leave! You¡¯ve served aijia for so many years, you should also consider about yourself!¡±
¡°Empress dowager, what are you saying? Is this not driving Qing Gu away?!¡±
Hearing Dongfang Lan¡¯s words, Qing Gu immediately knelt in front of her.
¡°Qing Gu¡¯s life was saved by miss. Wherever miss is, is where Qing Gu will be! Even if miss is gone, Qing Gu will go to the imperial mausoleum to guard miss! Qing Gu won¡¯t go away!¡±
¡°Get up, get up!¡±
Dongfang Lan pulled Qing Gu up.
¡°What nonsense are you saying?! For aijia, you didn¡¯t marry. Could it be that you want aijia to let you stay till death? Listen to aijia; if aijia is gone, you also leave! Don¡¯t stay at the icy imperial mausoleum. It¡¯s too cold there. You also need to have your own life.¡±
¡°Empress dowager......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say anymore. It¡¯s settled like this.¡±
Dongfang Lan stood up and put the poodle on the ground.
¡°Little Snow, go y by yourself! Don¡¯t go too far away!¡±
¡°Wang wang!¡±
The poodle called Little Snow barked twice and then ran out.
¡°Qing Gu, you say, Murong Qi Qi and aijia made a bet; will she win? Howe aijia feels that this time, Cang er is bent on marring this girl. Ai, it¡¯s not that aijia is devoid of sense. It¡¯s just, the moment aijia thinks about her identity, aijia¡¯s heart will have a thorn stabbing it; very ufortable.¡±
¡°Since princess Zhao Yang epted, miss, why don¡¯t you just wait for the result?! If she wins, then it¡¯s her and wangye¡¯s fate. It indicates that their red strings have really been pulled together by Yue Lao, then you just need to wait to carry a great-grandchild! If miss wins, then is that not even better?¡±
Yue Lao is the god of marriage. He binds the red strings of people together in his temple. Read my other book Seven unfortunate lifetimes, all thanks to a moment of impulse to know more about the disciple of Yue Lao, Xiao Xiang Zi.
¡°Aijia is worried that if aijia wins, Cang er will refuse to take a wife, then what should aijia do? Feng family only has one descendant left. It¡¯s not like aijia can let the bloodline end here!¡±
Qing Gu escorted Dongfang Lan and chuckled: ¡°Miss, in the end, you¡¯re still too kind-hearted and love Cang wangye5 dearly. Since this thing has already been settled, then just look at how everyone¡¯s fate will y out! Even if princess Zhao Yang loses, they wouldn¡¯t be able to me you. However, don¡¯t me this ve for talking too much, if princess Zhao Yang wins, will you really let go of the past and hold the wedding for them?¡±
Hearing Qing Gu say that, Dongfang Lan paused in her tracks. Her eyes swept over her (DFL) once: ¡°Does aijia look like someone who¡¯s dishonest? If Bei Zhou cane first in the tournament of the four countries, aijia will certainly hold a grand wedding for them!¡±
The tournament of the four countries started with the demise of former Qin. Before, it was every state of former Qin choosing the best people toe to the capital to participate in the tournament. It was simr to the literary exam. Only when former Qin was divided by the three families, did it officially be a ¡®tournament¡¯ and Dong Lu also came to participate.
Starting twenty-five years ago, from the moment Bei Zhou, Xi Qi and Nan Feng were founded until now, every five years, the tournament of the four countries was held. Although in between, the countries had some conflicts and war, but this tournament was never stopped. It¡¯s still held every five years.
There were some special rules for this tournament. For example, there¡¯s no limit for the number of contestants. As long as the country had and was willing to let that person participate, even if you sent out a hundred of people, it¡¯s not a problem. If the ability was not enough, then you could overwhelm the other party with the number of contestants!
However, because there were too many people, to have one after another battle would be a waste of time. Also to guard against a sea of people appearing at the same time, there would be a knockoutpetition first. During the knockoutpetition, there would be a big ¡®cleaning¡¯. The people who survived in the end were the ones who really could enter the tournament finals.
As for where the tournament of the four countries was being held, it¡¯s at the country who lost thest time. And the content of the knockoutpetition would be decided by the country who wonst time.
Although there¡¯s no rule, but the tournament of the four countries had always been held in the sixteen states of You Yun. The sixteen states of You Yun were originally a fort with the expertise in attacks and also the best ce to retreat to. That year, none of the four countries could give up on the sixteen states of You Yun, but no one had the ability to take over this ce. In the end, the four countries could only split it. They split the sixteen states of You Yun into Bei four states, Xi four states, Nan four states and Dong four states in order to consolidate the bnce.
Although Bei Zhou¡¯s national strength and military strength was the strongest among the four countries, the national capacity as whole was strong, but it had very few top figures. The tournament of the four countries had been held for a total of four times, and Bei Zhou had never been the winner. This let Bei Zhou feel embarrassed.
¡°To participate in the tournament, men can¡¯t be over twenty-three years and women can¡¯t be over eighteen years old?¡±
Seeing this one rule, Murong Qi Qiughed out loud. Her elbow stabbed at Feng Cang, who was sitting at one side.
¡°Wangye, looking at your age, you cannot participate in this tournament, ah! Since it¡¯s like this, what to do? If those people happen to not be useful, and Bei Zhou loses, then what to do?¡±
Feng Cang was twenty-five years old this year. ording to the rules of the tournament, he was naturally too old to participate. Seeing Murong Qi Qi use his age to make fun of him, Feng Cang yed with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand in his hand.
¡°Could it be that Qing Qing dislikes me for being old? Or is it that Qing Qing likes the younger ones such as general Shangguan?¡±
Chapter 74 The enemy (2)
Chapter 74 The enemy (2)
When Feng Cang mentioned Shangguan Wu Ji, Murong Qi Qi immediately softly made a ¡®pooh¡¯ sound. Although Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s task was to safely escort her to Bei Zhou to marry, but because the marriage had been blocked by the empress dowager, his mission had not beenpleted yet, so he could only wait at the house of the embassy.
Shangguan Wu Ji repeatedly came to Nan Lin wangfu1 to see Murong Qi Qi, but every time, he was stopped by housekeeper Feng Qi. He always used the excuse ¡®my family¡¯s wangye2 is nurturing feelings with wangfei3¡¯, literally making that handsome face of Shangguan Wu Ji so red that it could drop blood.
Of course, such cheesy words were also instructed by Feng Cang. His purpose was to let Shangguan Wu Ji give up. Murong Qi Qi was his, how could he let other people covet her?!
However, it looked like that this young general was somewhat stubborn. He still came every day to wangfu to ¡®pay his respect to princess¡¯. Even when he got the cold shoulder and also heard a lot of stories about how good the rtionship between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi is, but he still insisted on seeing Murong Qi Qi.
Feng Cang was not afraid of stubbornness!
Now, he saw Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s earnestness as a war between them. He was a young god of war. Now that the world was at peace, he had nothing to do, but defending was also his expertise. Guard Murong Qi Qi inside this capital; swat all the other people who want to covet her was the most important thing right now.
¡°Wangye saying it like that is not right! I¡¯m a particrly unusual person. I like mature men! ¡®Old men¡¯ are chewy with toughness and also can exercise one¡¯s teeth! Getting three birds with one stone. How can the young I not like ¡®old men¡¯?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying it so seriously amused Feng Cang. Heughed out loud. He took Murong Qi Qi into his arms. His chin gently dawdled on her forehead. This little woman, ever since she had opened her heart, her personality became livelier.
¡°Qing Qing, I also like to eat such fresh and tender grass like you. It¡¯s a good taste for the mouth. There¡¯s enough moisture. Besides, my teeth is not good. There¡¯s no need to chew tender grass, only need to swallow it......¡±
¡°So, wangye and I are a perfect match?¡±
Although Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheeks were red, but the wordsing from her mouth were a lot bolder.
¡°Of course! Could it be that you¡¯ve forgotten that you came to this world with only the mission to be my wangfei?¡±
Feng Cang saying that made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face gopletely red. Originally, she wanted topete with Feng Cang to see whose face was ¡®thicker¡¯. She didn¡¯t expect that after the numerous confrontations of the past few days, ultimately, she would be defeated by Feng Cang. She really was not able to say words that were more cheesy than that.......
These two flirted like there was no one around them, making Ru Yi and Su Yue who were also in the room get red faces. While serving their masters, their ears feverishly listened to their flirtation.
Such scenes happened for five days already. Although they didn¡¯t know what happened that day at the banquet, but everyone could feel that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship had reached a new level. The two often had some intimate action or said some love words which were able to sweeten people to death, making they, the servants, feel very embarrassed.
However, regardless of Su Yue and the others¡¯ embarrassment, but this pair have be addicted to sweetness. Everywhere in wangfu, Feng Cang¡¯sughter could be heard. This was the first time it ever happened in these past ten years, which made the servants of the fu4, when they had nothing to do, gather outside of Tingsong Building to watch. They wanted to know what ability this new wangfei had to make wangye so happy.
For a time, the outside of Tingsong Building became the liveliest ce of Nan Lin wangfu. Everyone wanted to see this new wangfei¡¯s elegant bearing.
Unfortunately, Feng Cang, this wangye¡¯s possessiveness was too strong. He never allowed Murong Qi Qi to leave his side for even half a step. Even when going out, he would put a veil on her. So, this princess from Xi Qi became a mystery. And talk about this mysterious princess was spread to the outsiders by the people of wangfu. She also became the hottest topic of recent discussion in the capital.
Since the weing banquet, the empress dowager didn¡¯t continue to make things difficult for Murong Qi Qi. However, didn¡¯t know who spread the word about the bet; now all the streets of the capital were rumoring about this matter. There were even gambling dens which opened bets; betting if Bei Zhou can or cannot win, betting on if Murong Qi Qi can sessfully be the new wangfei.
From the moment Bei Zhou was founded till now, Bei Zhou hadn¡¯t win for four consecutive tournaments. Not to mention thest time; Bei Zhou camest among the four countries. Could this time, because of a princess who came to form a marriage alliance, be a turning point? Can that even happen?
In many people¡¯s hearts, the answer to this question was negative. No matter how mysterious Murong Qi Qi was, it didn¡¯t change the fact that she was a ¡®rubbish¡¯. Regardless of how outstanding Feng Cang, this Nan Lin wang was, it also couldn¡¯t change the fact that his eight wives had all died.
Simrly, no matter how strong Bei Zhou was, it also couldn¡¯t change the fact that this country didn¡¯t have any top experts. Although this was a contest between young people, but from the ability of the young people, the new strength of a country could be seen. This was a fact everyone understood. Almost everyone put their bet on the side of that Murong Qi Qi would lose, on the side that Bei Zhou would lose.
Although the citizens loved their country, and they all wished for Bei Zhou to get the first ce, but the truth was put in front of them. Besides, this matter was rted to the silver in their purse. So, in the end they chose their most truthful thought.
However, there were always exceptions. When Guanghua gongzi5 bet five million silver teals that Bei Zhou would certainly win, all of Bei Zhou was in an uproar.
Guanghua gongzi? What kind of character was he? In this vastnd, as long as there¡¯s women, there would be people who knew about Guanghua gongzi. If the times were more open and women could have fantasies, Guanghua gongzi would definitely be the first fantasy of women.
Never was there a man who understood the needs and desire for beauty of a woman and could express it through jewelry and clothing. The women of this world, no matter if they were noble or humble, no matter if they were beautiful or ugly, as long as they were a woman, they would have a heart which loved beauty. And Guanghua gongzi fulfilled their wish.
For women, even if they couldn¡¯t afford those expensive jewelry and clothing, but as long as they could take a nce, even if the next moment they die, they would be willing.
Now Guanghua gongzi was actually betting that Murong Qi Qi would win, making everyone¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but gather at Nan Lin wangfu.
No one had ever seen Guanghua gongzi, that¡¯s why people rumored him to be so marvelous. There were some who say he¡¯s a prince of a country. Others say that he was a young master of a great family. There were also some who say he¡¯s the descendant of a mysterious n. In short, a variety of bizarre identities had been put on him.
And such a mysterious Guanghua gongzi had ced a bet of five million on Murong Qi Qi. There seemed to be an ulterior motive behind it.
While everyone was thinking about how Nan Lin wang Feng Cang would guess Murong Qi Qi and Guanghua gongzi¡¯s rtionship, how Nan Lin wangfu would now be in a mess, another mysterious person ced a ten million bet on Bei Zhou winning the tournament.
This time, Guanghua gongzi was defeated. The other party didn¡¯t leave any trace of information, which resulted in a variety of spection. There were even people who suspected that this person was the emperor of Bei Zhou Wanyan Lie. The emperor saw that his own citizens were betting that Bei Zhou would lose, his heart was ufortable and he also lost face. So, he bet ten million to buy back a face.
However, all spections were fleeting. The rumors intensified, but the truth was known to no one. The famous person from the rumors, Murong Qi Qi, with the help of Guanghua gongzi and the mysterious person, in one shot became the person Bei Zhou paid most attention to. These happenings didn¡¯t affect Murong Qi Qi¡¯s daily life, but it let some other women hate till their face became distorted.
¡°Bastard! Bastard!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu kicked the stool. Angry, she smashed all the porcin onto the ground. Originally, she wanted to see Murong Qi Qi be a joke, she didn¡¯t expect that two men would appear, disturbing her mood of watching a y.
¡°Bastard!¡±
¡°Princess, don¡¯t be angry!¡±
Yong er6 quickly caught the porcin vase from Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s hand and let people put it to one side. She helped Wanyan Bao Zhu sit down.
¡°Princess, don¡¯t anger your body because of a slut. You are too noble, ah! If your body gets sick because of anger, it¡¯s you who will feel pain and the enemy will feel happiness. Besides, it¡¯s almost time for the tournament. Didn¡¯t you also want to show yourself at the tournament?! You can¡¯t get sick, ah!¡±
¡°Bengong7 is not satisfied!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu bit her lips. Two tears rolled from her eyes.
¡°Go, go call Chou er over. Didn¡¯t she say that she has a way to deal with Murong Qi Qi? Call her over.¡±
Yong er brought Chou er over. She was a woman who wore a veil that only revealed her eyes. Even though only her eyes could be seen, but that pair of eyes was so beautiful that it could touch people.
¡°This ve Chou er greets princess!¡±
¡°You can get up!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu gestured with her hand to let other people retreat. She only let Yong er and Chou er stay.
¡°That day when bengong saved you, you said you were Xi Qi¡¯s citizen, is that right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. This ve is Xi Qi¡¯s citizen.¡±
¡°You¡¯re Xi Qi¡¯s citizen. Then tell bengong the origin of your rtionship with Murong Qi Qi.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
When Murong Qi Qi was mentioned, in Chou er¡¯s eyes were hatred and also ice-cold intention to murder. Even Yong er at one side felt afraid. Chou er spent an hour talking about her and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship. Hearing Chou er¡¯s words, Wanyan Bao Zhu looked at her thoughtfully. She believed some parts, but didn¡¯t believe the whole story.
¡°Chou er, since you say that Murong Qi Qi is jealous of your beauty and ruined your face, then drop your veil. Let bengong take a look at your face.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words made Chou er shiver a bit. She took a deep breath and slowly untied the veil on her face.
Just one look, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but breathe deeply. What kind of hideous face was that, ah?! It¡¯s covered with small,rge, round and t scars. It¡¯s like someone cooked beans andid it out on Chou er¡¯s face.
And because the injury on her left face was too deep, the wound was infected. Because there wasn¡¯t any timely treatment, it had began to rot and on it grew new skin. Red scars against the white skin and those withered yellow scars ruined a pretty facepletely.
¡°How did she give you those scars?¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu covered her mouth and her brow frowned. She gestured for Chou er to put the veil back on.
¡°Spraying with hot oil.¡±
Just four simple words was able to let people see the cruel situation at that time.
So, Murong Qi Qi did all of these! Wanyan Bao Zhu was shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that the woman who looked so weak would have such vicious means. Just because the man she liked looked once at this Chou er; just because Chou er was more beautiful than her, she did such a cruel thing! How could such vicious woman stay at Cang gege¡¯s8 side!
Just thinking about her Ning er dying because of Murong Qi Qi made Wanyan Bao Zhu be furious.
¡°Chou er,e with bengong! Bengong will take you to Nan Lin wangfu and let you confront Murong Qi Qi in person. Bengong will let you have justice and also let Nan Lin wang see how ugly Murong Qi Qi is, let him see her true face!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu mmed the table, stood up and immediately wanted to go, but Chou er clung onto her legs and begged, ¡°Princess, this ve knows that you are doing it for this ve. This ve is very grateful towards you, but if you go now like this, not only will you bring cmity to this ve, but also bring cmity to yourself, ah! Now Murong Qi Qi has Nan Lin wang¡¯s love. Even if you say it, Nan Lin wang may not let it enter his ears, let alone such a humble and small person like this ve!¡±
Chou er¡¯s words made sense, making Wanyan Bao Zhu stop in her tracks. Just in a moment, she thought of another way.
¡°Since that doesn¡¯t work, then bengong will go with you to the censor! We¡¯ll go find emperor father! He will certainly get justice for you!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words let Chou erughed once bitterly. She continued to kowtow: ¡°Princess is kind, believes in this ve¡¯s words and is willing to get justice for this ve. However, Murong Qi Qi is Xi Qi¡¯s princess who came to form a marriage alliance. Her status is noble. Even if she kills one or two ves, it¡¯s just normal. Although emperor is wise, but Nan Lin wang is emperor¡¯s nephew and loves him dearly. So naturally, he (WL) will love everything about and around him (FC). How will he, because of a ve from Xi Qi, go investigate Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrongdoing?!¡±
¡°This is just a trifle matter. It won¡¯t be able to take Murong Qi Qi down in one shot. Instead, it¡¯ll implicate princess and harm the rtion between you and Nan Lin wang. Such a thing naturally cannot happen. Asking princess to reconsider!¡±
Chou er was crying, full of grief. Her words also pointed out the crucial factors, making Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but stop in her tracks once again and think about what she had said.
Indeed, the whole capital knew about the love Feng Cang had for Murong Qi Qi. At this time, it¡¯s unlikely that Feng Cang would abandon Murong Qi Qi because of a ve. If she can¡¯t take Murong Qi Qi down in one stroke, and get bitten instead by her (MQQ), then wouldn¡¯t her image in Cang gege¡¯s heart bepletely destroyed?!
It¡¯s just that not being able to do anything, her heart felt like something was blocking it.
Obviously, she knew that woman (MQQ) had a poisonous heart, iparably vicious, but she wasn¡¯t able to say anything and also couldn¡¯t do anything. She would have to see her in Feng Cang¡¯s arms andter be Feng Cang¡¯s bride. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu ept this?
¡°Can¡¯t do this, can¡¯t do that. Then you say, what should bengong do?!¡±
¡°Princess!¡±
Chou er once again bowed in front of Wanyan Bao Zhu. Her mottled forehead knocked hard on the ground.
¡°If princess really cares about this ve, asking princess to let this ve serve at princess¡¯s side! As the saying goes, not bearing the small matter will ruin the big matter. Murong Qi Qi acts very well. If you don¡¯t have any evidence, you can¡¯t do anything to her. Since it¡¯s like this, we can only wait for the right time.¡±
¡°Although this ve doesn¡¯t have any ability, but the hatred towards Murong Qi Qi is the same as princess¡¯s. This ve only asks to stay at princess¡¯s side, work like a horse and an ox, serve princess and wait for the right opportunity! This ve¡¯s hatred towards Murong Qi Qi will let us unable to live under the same sky. One day, this ve will step on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head and let her regret for her past!¡±
Work like a horse and an ox: work extremely hard.
Looking at Chou er¡¯s expression, Wanyan Bao Zhu pondered for a while. Eventually, she nodded: ¡°Alright! It so happens that bengong¡¯s side needs a personal maid. You can take that ce. However, didn¡¯t you say before that you have a way to deal with Murong Qi Qi? Howe now it became ¡®wait for the right time¡¯?¡±
To be able to stay, Chou er let out a breath of relief in her head. To Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s question, Chou er quickly and cautiously answered.
¡°Answering princess, soon it¡¯ll be the tournament between the four countries. This ve heard that the empress dowager is very dissatisfied with Murong Qi Qi. Because of Nan Lin wang¡¯s resolution, she was forced to make a bet with Murong Qi Qi. The bet is the first ce of the tournament of the four countries. Therefore, this tournament of the four countries is our opportunity.¡±
¡°As long as we obstruct in secret, don¡¯t let Bei Zhou win, then Murong Qi Qi won¡¯t be able to be Nan Lin wangfei. A princess to form a marriage alliance, but the marriage alliance is unsessful, it¡¯s like a p in her face, ah!¡±
As she talked excitedly, inside Chou er¡¯s eyes shed a strange light, making Wanyan Bao Zhu startle for a moment. Her face was already ruined like this, but her eyes were still so beautiful. Although it was currently being blinded by hatred and contaminated turbid, but the original beauty of that pair of eyes didn¡¯t lessen much. It seemed that in the past, this person was certainly a beauty! Now, Wanyan Bao Zhu believed Chou er a bit more.
¡°And after that?¡±
Hearing Chou er talking with so much excitement, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s mood also became better as if she was already able to see the tragic appearance of Murong Qi Qi as she was driven out of the pce. She couldn¡¯t help but want to see what would happen next.
¡°Originally, her title of princess was just bestowed. Now that her marriage is being cancelled by Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family, because of face, Xi Qi won¡¯t ept her back. By then, she doesn¡¯t have the back of Xi Qi and also doesn¡¯t have the identity of princess, Murong Qi Qi is just a trivial woman. By then, wouldn¡¯t princess be able to dispose of her any way you want?!¡±
Chou er¡¯s voice seemed to have magic in it, making Wanyan Bao Zhu be in a very good mood. Just now, her face was like dark clouds, now even a thousand of miles away, it¡¯s a clear sky as if the day Murong Qi Qi would fall was just around the corner and the position of Nan Lin wangfei was now hers.
¡°Chou er, what you said is very right! Howe at bengong¡¯s side, there¡¯s no one as clever as you?! Say, when bengong catch Murong Qi Qi, how should bengong torment her? Cut her head or pull out her tongue? That¡¯s right, bengong will first pull out her tongue, then ruin her face. When she is begging pitifully, then cut her throat!¡±
The more Wanyan Bao Zhu talks, the more excited she got. She even took out a dagger and gestured at the sky.
¡°Princess, to a woman, destroying her reputation will let living be more painful than death. There are so many beggars in Yanjing capital. Why don¡¯t you find some who didn¡¯t get to taste meat for quite a while and reward Murong Qi Qi to them? Let them get the taste of a princess who came to form a marriage alliance.¡±
Meat doesn¡¯t mean meat here. It means women.
Chou er¡¯s rmendation made Wanyan Bao Zhu widen her eyes. Completely in disbelief, she asked: ¡°It can also be done like that?¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
Chou er revealed a shiny smile, but inside her head appeared the scene in the dungeon. The way that man breathed, those straws contaminated with red blood, that candle-dim lit night; she wouldn¡¯t forget such humiliation for life. She vowed, she must get revenge. She must let Murong Qi Qi feel that living was more painful than death!
¡°However, princess what you need to do now is n how to do the first step well. This time, Nan Lin wang is the leader of Bei Zhou. For the woman he loves, he will surely do his best to get the first ce. How to do, how to destroy is what you need to pay attention to the most. Although Nan Lin wang is not a participant, but this ve has heard that the subordinates of Nan Lin wang are very capable......¡±
¡°Ah, you can rest assured about this!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu raised her head and revealed a mocking smile.
¡°Bengong doesn¡¯t know how it¡¯s in other countries, but Bei Zhou always sends four men and four women, eight yers. It so happens that bengong is also a participant this year and bengong also knows the other three yers. There isn¡¯t anybody in Bei Zhou who doesn¡¯t know that bengong likes Cang gege. If they want to block bengong¡¯s fate, bengong won¡¯t go easy on them! Bengong wille forward for this matter, they won¡¯t not give me face. By that time, even if Cang gege has the heart, he will be powerless.¡±
¡°But there are always exceptions.......¡±
¡°Humph! If they can¡¯t be used by bengong, then there¡¯s no need to keep them!¡±
She means that if they can¡¯t be used by her, then they must die.
Thest sentence, Wanyan Bao Zhu said it like to chop the nail and slice the iron. The viciousness on her face was no different from Chou er¡¯s.
To chop a nail and slice the iron: resolute and decisive, unhesitating
Chapter 75 Feng Cang’s disease (1)
Chapter 75 Feng Cang¡¯s disease (1)
After seeing that Wanyan Bao Zhu believed her, inside Chou er¡¯s1 eyes shed happiness. This Bei Zhou¡¯s princess really was simple minded. Just a few words and she believed her. Could it be that the women who grew up in the pce were deeply loved, butcked IQ?
After hiding for a long time, finally she had found an opportunity to get close to Wanyan Bao Zhu, how could Chou er let go of such an opportunity?!
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that all the way here, there were people were chasing after her in order to kill her, would she have willingly hidden her flower-like appearance......all of this was because of Murong Qi Qi! If it wasn¡¯t because of Murong Qi Qi bringing that bitch Fei Cui, none of this would¡¯ve happened. She would¡¯ve still be her Jing wang cefei2 and wouldn¡¯t have be like this!
So, she must avenge this hatred!
As Chou er was immersed in the pleasure of her revenge fantasy, she suddenly smelled a strange smell of medicine. Only when she came out of the daze, did she find that Yong er was holding a jade box. Inside itid a pearl-sized ck pill. That smell hade from this jade box.
¡°Princess, you......¡±
Chou er¡¯s eyelids jumped. It seemed that Wanyan Bao Zhu was a lot smarter than Longze Yu Er!
¡°This is Faithful pill.¡±
At this time, Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t have the impatient appearance of just now. She tilted her legs and sat on the chair. She put her hand in an orchid manner and leisurely blew the tea leaves that were floating in the tea.
Orchid manner
Orchid manner: join the thumb and middle finger while the other fingers are extended
¡°Although bengong3 pities you, but after all you are Xi Qi¡¯s citizen. As the saying goes, there¡¯s no knowing what is in a man¡¯s heart, how can you let bengong believe what you say? Since you want to stay at bengong¡¯sside, eat this pill, then bengong will believe you and will help you get revenge.¡±
So, it turned out that this Bei Zhou¡¯s princess was not a straw bag? Faithful pill? Ah, the name is not bad. Faithful, faithful. Presumably, it¡¯s a poison that would make the person who eats it be manipted. Chou er didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Bao Zhu would use such a trick on her.
Straw bag: idiot.
This pillid quietly in the jade box. The jade box was ced in front of Chou er.
¡°Miss Chou er, eat it! After you eat it, our family¡¯s princess will believe you!¡±
Yong er stood beside Chou er and silently looked at her. Her mouth was gently curved up.
¡°I believe that miss Chou er won¡¯t let our family¡¯s princess be disappointed!¡±
This was only the first step. If she wants to get Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s help, she must seek refuge from her.
Looking at the Faithful pill which emitted bitterness, Chou er gritted her teeth. She put it in her mouth and forced herself to swallow it.
¡°Good!¡±
Seeing that Chou er didn¡¯t hesitate, Wanyan Bao Zhu nodded.
¡°Rest assured, bengong will not harm you! Every month, bengong will give you an antidote to let you not be in pain. When the matter is finished, bengong gets my wish fulfilled and bes Nan Lin wangfei4, bengong will naturally give you the antidote. Besides, bengong will also reward you heavily!¡±
¡°The heaven and earth can see this ve¡¯s loyalty towards princess. This ve will certainly be princess¡¯s helping hand, help princess get your wish!¡±
Chou er once again knelt. This time, she was personally helped up by Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Good! Bengong believes you!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu smiled like a flower and Chou er¡¯s face under the veil also had a smile. Ah, you believe me? Believe me and yet you still gave me poison? Fortunately, I was prepared or else I would¡¯ve be your pet and be ordered by you whenever you wanted.
These two women, because of the same purpose, they made a pact. Although they didn¡¯t trust each other, but their target was Murong Qi Qi. Only this one thing was enough to unite the two of them.
Tonight, the weather was gloomy. The moon was blocked by the dark clouds. Because it¡¯s winter, the weather was also getting colder. So, the pce servants also slept early. Chou er was someone new and also came inte, so she was arranged to live in a remote room.
However, she didn¡¯t have any dissatisfaction towards Yong er¡¯s arrangement. It¡¯s amon thing that new people were excluded. Remote ces also have their own benefits. For example, you can call your lover......
When the night watchman pped the gong two times, a figure appeared at the door of Chou er¡¯s room. Twice, there was a ¡®dongdong¡¯ sound. The door was opened with a squeaky sound, revealing a small gap. This person immediately entered. The door was immediately closed.
As soon as this person entered, he immediately took Chou er into his embrace. While he was sniffing the fragrance from her hair, his hands went straight into her skirt and explored.
¡°Xin er, I missed you so much!¡±
Seeing the other party acting like this, Chou er grabbed his hand. Laughingly, she came out of his embrace. She turned to look at the person.
This was a man about thirty years old. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips and square face. He looked very burly and tall. Originally, he looked upright, but because he had a pair of triangr eyes, his whole look turned a lot more cunning.
¡°Hurry!¡±
Chou er chuckled, but she didn¡¯t hate what he was doing to her.
¡°You, ah!¡±
Chou er¡¯s index finger poked his forehead a bit.
¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you a long time, howe you only arrived now?!¡±
Such soft words were like a plush scratching at people¡¯s heart, making it itchy. The man once again lifted Chou er and let her sit on him.
¡°Xin er, do you think the pce is my Wu Ji Gong where I cane and go as I like? Your ce was not easy to find. I searched for a long time before I came in. I also needed to hide from those guards. I also didn¡¯t have it easy, ah!¡±
Wu Ji Gong was the sect of those people,st seen in the first two chapters, who tried to assassinate Jing wang and he was then saved by Du Xian Er (aka MQQ).
While talking, the man¡¯s hands had already reached into Chou er¡¯s clothes. With one stroke, he pulled down her skirt and revealed two lotus-like feet.
¡°Don¡¯t need to hurry!¡±
Seeing that the other party was in such a hurry to find happiness, once again Chou er grabbed his hands. Although she sensed his restlessness, she still pressed down his desire once again.
¡°Seeing this face of mine now, you are still interested? Aren¡¯t you scared?¡±
The man raised his head and looked at Chou er¡¯s mottled face. He smiled and revealed a mouth full of white teeth.
¡°Xin er, what I like is you, it¡¯s not this face of yours. Even if you be like this for real, I¡¯ll still like you!¡±
The man¡¯s words let Chou er¡¯s hard heart be a bit touched. At least, whenever she saw her own face in front of the mirror every day, even she would feel nausea. It took a long time to adapt before she got ustomed to it. In this man¡¯s eyes, there¡¯s not even the slightest disgust. This was considered rare in this world, where men saw beauty as everything.
¡°Still, let me take it down. I don¡¯t like this face that you¡¯ve made for me one bit! It makes me always be seen as ugly by others!¡±
Chou er turned around. Her fingers groped at her ear and ripped off a very thinyer of human skin mask. She turned back and changed into a countenance of a flower, face like a moon appearance.
Countenance like a flower, face like a moon: very beautiful
Although he had seen this face many times before, after seeing it once again, the man still couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. The desire in his eyes became stronger.
¡°Xin er, you truly are beautiful! Really! You are the most beautiful woman I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±
Although, in the past, there were many people who were attracted by her beauty, but this was the first time that there¡¯s a man who praised her so directly, making Chou er blush a bit.
¡°You, are you telling the truth? Howe I feel that you have many sets of such words? Is it that you have previously said them to many people? Is it that you want to make me happy by lying to me?¡±
While talking, Chou er specifically moved her slender waist and deliberately touched the man¡¯s body, making him breathe deeply once again.
¡°No! I swear! In my heart, there¡¯s only Xin er. If I go against my oath, I¡¯ll be struck by a thunder......¡±
The man hadn¡¯t finished speaking yet when Chou er immediately covered his mouth.
¡°Not allowed to say such things. If something happens to you......then what should I do? I only have you now!¡±
One sentence brought out the man¡¯s deepest, innermost desire to protect. He immediately took Chou er into his embrace. His lips bit her cherry-like small mouth. His tongue probed inside and sucked her breath: ¡°Xin er, I want you......¡±
¡°En......¡±
Chou er¡¯s skin was infected with a bit of pinkish flush.
Although in the past, she had experienced all those bad things, but after being saved by this man, he brought her many unusual experiences, making her gradually be enlightened in this area. Now, she hade to like this kind of happiness between man and woman.
¡°Xin er, Xin er!¡±
Although the temperature outside was already very low, but inside the room, the heat waves were somersaulting. The man¡¯s voice was low and hoarse and Chou er was biting her lips to not let herself make any sounds.
¡°Let it out, Xin er. Scream it out......¡±
The man seemed to be forcing Chou er to let herself go. His lips, intentionally or unintentionally, touched her ears, making Chou er very itchy. In the end, with tears in her eyes, she still bit her lips.
¡°Xin er.¡±
The man had some understanding towards Chou er¡¯s stubbornness. He didn¡¯t continue to insist and just went straight to the main aim.
For a long time, only when the night watchman hit the gong once again, did the many down next to Chou er whilst breathing heavily.
¡°Today, princess gave me a pill saying it¡¯s a Faithful pill......¡±
Chou er narrowed her eyeszily. On her body was ayer of sweat.
¡°You say, will something happen to me, ah?¡±
¡°No!¡±
The man turned over to lie down. He hugged Chou er and gently sniffed the fragrance of her ear.
¡°Rest at ease. In this world, there is still not an antidote or poison I cannot make. When I go back, I¡¯ll make the antidote for you!¡±
Hearing the man say that, Chou er was at ease. She actively leaned on the man¡¯s chest. Her ear was on his chest and quietly listened to his heartbeat.
For a long time, seeing that Chou er didn¡¯t speak, the man was somewhat bored. His fingers yed with Chou er¡¯s ears.
¡°What are you thinking about, Xin er? Is it that you¡¯re still thinking about those people who were hunting you down to assassinate you? I let some people investigate. Those people are from Moyu. When did you offend Moyu?¡±
¡°Moyu?¡±
After hearing this, Chou er looked somewhat confused at the man.
¡°What is Moyu? I¡¯ve never heard about it and also don¡¯t know what it is.¡±
Only after looking at Chou er¡¯s eyes, did the man believe that she really didn¡¯t know. So, he slowly began to exin about Moyu.
¡°In the martial arts world, there are good and evil. Moyu and our Wu Ji Gong are ssified as evil.¡±
¡°Then, which one of you is stronger?¡±
The moment Chou er heard that, she became interested. She raised her sharp chin and looked smilingly at the man.
¡°How to say it? Moyu¡¯s Mozun was an expert in the use of poison and Moyu is well-known for their assassinations. Wu Ji Gong can¡¯t match with these two points. Before, our master and vice master died at the hands of the newly-titled head of Moyu, Du Xian Er!¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Chou er nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: ¡°Is that Du Xian Er very powerful? How is shepared with you?¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
Hearing Chou er say that, the man revealed a confident smile.
¡°Humph! Of course, she cannot bepared with me! Du Xian Er has disappeared for a long time. Maybe she even died! His royal highness the crown prince already said, as long as we can get this time¡¯s matter done beautifully, he will certainly help me take down Moyu! By then, the whole martial arts world will be mine. By then, I¡¯ll be the chief of the martial arts world. You will then be the wife of the chief of the martial arts world; a hundred answers to one single call. Xin er, what do you think?¡±
A hundred answers to one single call: onemand will get hundred servants to follow thatmand.
Must say, the picture the man painted was very beautiful. After listening to this, Chou er became lost in the wild and fanciful thoughts about herself.
The wife of the chief of the martial arts world? The sound of that was very impressive! By then, with one call, she would be served by many. Whoever she didn¡¯t like, she can beat. Whoever offended her, she can behead on the spot. There wouldn¡¯t be that many rules nor ufortable feelings. It¡¯s a hundred times better than being a wangfei!
¡°Princess has already allowed me to follow her at the tournament of the four countries!¡±
¡°Oh? That¡¯s great! Xin er, you¡¯re awesome!¡±
The man rewarded Chou er with a kiss.
¡°She let you take the Faithful pill, meaning she doesn¡¯t trust you that much. You¡¯ve suffered! Be assured, Faithful pill is not a poison. It¡¯s only used to control people. When I go back, I¡¯ll make some antidote for you. Take the antidote and all will be alright!¡±
This man really thought for her sake. At least,pared to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s indifference, he was much better.
¡°I¡¯m fine. This is what I should do. You saved me. My life is yours! I¡¯m willing to do anything for you! Not to mention, Murong Qi Qi is my enemy. She caused me to be so miserable. I must take revenge! This is also why I volunteered!¡±
Recalling the things she had experienced, Chou er¡¯s expression was painful, making the man feel a lot of heartache. He firmly held Chou er in his arms.
¡°Xin er, forget the past! I¡¯ll be good to you! I¡¯ll protect you. I won¡¯t let you suffer again!¡±
¡°Zhao Lang......¡±
The affection inside the man¡¯s voice let Chou er¡¯s eyes be red.
¡°Why are you so good to me? Everyone abandoned me, why are you treating me like this?¡±
¡°Because I like you!¡±
Zhao Lang wiped Chou er¡¯s tears.
¡°Your past makes me feel heartache! Xin er, forget Longze Jing Tian, forget about all that unhappiness. I¡¯ll give you a happy future!¡±
Having Zhao Lang¡¯s promise, Chou er¡¯s mood became much better. She told Zhao Lang about how she went ording to their n and approached Wanyan Bao Zhu, how she got her attention, and how she gained Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s trust.
¡°En! My people will also mix into the tournament of the four countries. At that time, they will be your help! Don¡¯t you hate Murong Qi Qi? Why don¡¯t we get her first? I heard that she is the woman Nan Lin wang5 cares about. Starting with her, to let Nan Lin wang¡¯s heart hurt for a while!¡±
¡°Murong Qi Qi is very crafty. We must carefully n this matter. Besides, her two maids are high level martial artists. If we want to deal with Murong Qi Qi, we must divert them away.¡±
Each time, she mentioned Murong Qi Qi, Chou er¡¯s voice would get colder. Seeing the hatred in her eyes, Zhao Lang gently patted Chou er.
¡°Everything has passed! Look, look at how I will take revenge for you!¡±
Zhao Lang whispered a few words in Chou er¡¯s ears. Chou er¡¯s expression immediately turned good.
¡°This is not a bad idea! Humph! Murong Qi Qi, I want to let you experience a living that¡¯s more painful than death for your whole life!¡±
Feeling once again that Zhao Lang¡¯s good to her, Chou er let her body be pasted to his. Her hands were also moving on Zhao Lang¡¯s body. The eyes looking at him also became hazy. Unexpectedly, when her hand was about to touch little Zhao Lang, her hand was caught by Zhao Lang.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t you want it?¡±
Chou er¡¯s white shoulders were exposed in front of Zhao Lang. Her expression also became more delicate and charming.
¡°Can¡¯t today! I need to go back! Now, you¡¯ve entered the pce. It¡¯s different from the past. Although here is deste and no one wille, but we still need to be careful. If something happens, I have martial arts, but you can¡¯t escape. I can¡¯t get you into trouble!¡±
Zhao Lang gently kissed Chou er¡¯s forehead. He stood up, put on his clothes and covered the quilt on Chou er.
¡°Xin er, take good care of yourself! When we finish themand that crown prince has ordered us to do, then we can openly be together. I¡¯ll let it be all red for ten li and let you have a big wedding!¡±
Li: Chinese mile: 500 meters
Only after Zhao Lang had left for a long time, did Chou er think about all the moments she had been with Zhao Lang. Although Zhao Lang¡¯s looks and background could not bepared to Longze Jing Tian, but he was very good towards her. He was so caring, so sympathetic towards her......
Women always grew after experiencing many things. For example, Chou er. Now she understood that Longze Jing Tian was just a dream she had pursued when she was younger. And that waking up from the dream was the most miserable and tragic experience. So now, her thoughts were more realistic. It¡¯s better to find a man who was good to her and spend the rest of their days together. Since Zhao Lang was willing to give her so much, she was also willing to try.
After leaving the pce, Zhao Lang didn¡¯t go somewhere else, but he turned and went to the East Pce.
¡°How¡¯s the matter going?¡±
Wanyan Hong hadn¡¯t slept yet. His hair was loose and he wore just a thin cloth.
¡°Did she get in?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
After Zhao Lang gave a detailed description, Wanyan Hong revealed a strange smile.
¡°This time, Feng Cang will lead the people there. This crown prince already said that I will not go because of sickness; lest to when something happens, emperor father will not hold this crown prince ountable again.¡±
¡°Your royal highness the crown prince is wise!¡±
Zhao Lang lowered his head and was very respectful to this man in front of him.
¡°Hah, tter less! The thing this crown prince promised you, this crown prince will certainly give you. What you agreed to do for this crown prince, you should also get it done. But, is that woman reliable? After all, she is Xi Qi¡¯s citizen, this crown prince is a bit worried.¡±
¡°Asking your highness to feel rest assured. Now, she is dead set in love with me. Princess gave her the Faithful pill. When I give her the antidote, I¡¯ll put some poison inside. She will then bepletely under my control.¡±
¡°Not bad! Not bad!¡±
Wanyan Hong stood up while patting his clothes and walked to Zhao Lang. He grabbed Zhao Lang¡¯s chin.
¡°This crown prince thought that you had lost your mind for that woman and was worried that she would lead you by the nose. This crown prince was also afraid that you would be reluctant to be hard on her! Now, it seems that this crown prince is wrong. A Knife Wolf is still a Knife Wolf and won¡¯t let the matter go down because of a woman! It was not a waste for this crown prince to help you get Wu Ji Gong......¡±
Because Zhao Lang acted fast and ruthless, that¡¯s why the people from the jianghu6 gave him the nickname Knife Wolf.
Since Wu Ji Gong¡¯s Mei Sha and Jue Sha had died at the hands of Du Xian Er, Wu Ji Gong didn¡¯t have someone to lead them and was inplete chaos. At that time, Knife Wolf met Wanyan Hong and was then ced in the position of the head of Wu Ji Gong with his (WH) help. They also killed a group of people. Now, from the head to the bottom of Wu Ji gong were all his people. A big part of this was all thanks to Wanyan Hong¡¯s help.
¡°Thanking your highness for the praise! Your highness¡¯ kindness towards Zhao Lang is unforgettable. Zhao Lang will only be loyal to your highness!¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Wanyan Hong sniffed at the edge of Zhao Lang¡¯s cor. His face revealed an expression of disgust.
¡°That¡¯s a woman¡¯s smell. Is it Murong Xin Lian¡¯s?¡±
¡°Your highness, this is a necessary sacrifice......,¡± Zhao Lang exined, somewhat embarrassed. Wanyan Hong also recognized this exnation.
¡°Alright, go clean yourself and thene back. This crown prince needs to talk with you about the things in the tournament of the four countries. While you¡¯re at it, also massage this crown prince¡¯s back......¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Zhao Langughed naughtily. He retreated and then came back. After he cleaned himself up, he exuded a refreshing fragrance.
¡°Come here!¡±
Wanyan Hong starred at Zhao Lang¡¯s strong abdominal muscles intently.
¡°Don¡¯t let this crown prince say it twice. Come......here......¡±
Chapter 76 Feng Cang’s disease (2)
Chapter 76 Feng Cang¡¯s disease (2)
The day to leave for the tournament of the four countries drew near. Each time, the tournament of the four countries had ended at the end of the year; when it¡¯s new year in the four countries. This time, Bei Zhou¡¯s contingent was led by Feng Cang. Coming back to Yanjing, he didn¡¯t even rest for too long before Feng Cang had to be on the road again.
¡°Feeling cold?¡±
Inside the carriage, Feng Cang warmed Murong Qi Qi in his embrace.
It¡¯s been five days since they have left the capital. Knowing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t like the bumpy ride in the carriage, Feng Cang especially let people put a very thick mat inside the carriage. No matter if it¡¯s sitting or lying down, it¡¯s a lot morefortable.
¡°Still good.¡±
Murong Qi Qi leaned back in Feng Cang¡¯s arms while thinking about all those people in the other carriages who she didn¡¯t wish to see. Her mood would turn bad then.
Bei Zhou had sent four men and four women. Among the four, there were two who Murong Qi Qi already knew......Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die. When she saw Mu Yu Die, Murong Qi Qi was thinking why, when she had previously stepped on her foot, she didn¡¯t break her toes. Really let her get off too easily!
Although all this time, Feng Cang was very caring towards her, but there were so many butterflies fluttering in front of her and even looking with infatuated expressions at her man, making Murong Qi Qi very unhappy.
If it weren¡¯t for her image of ady, she would¡¯ve certainly go forward and sent the two of them flying! Even the people around her didn¡¯t like those two.
Since Su Mei got to know about the two¡¯s calctions against Murong Qi Qi, her heart was stuck with a breath unable to let it go. Now they are even more unpleasing in her eyes. Each of her movements has been stopped by Murong Qi Qi. If it wasn¡¯t because of the tournament of the four countries, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve long nodded and let her get rid of them in private.
¡°Wangye1, when will we arrive at Yongzhou?¡±
This time, the ce where the tournament would be held was one of the four Bei states, Yongzhou. It¡¯s located about a half month away from Yanjing.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi asked this question every day, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but pinch her nose.
¡°Can¡¯t sit any longer? Why don¡¯t benwang2 take you out to ride a horse?¡±
¡°Ride a horse?! Really?!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi heard that, she became interested. She immediately hid herzy expression and sat up. Her eyes were shining like crystals.
¡°Good! Riding a horse is a lot morefortable!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was happy, Feng Cang naturally hoped that every day, Murong Qi Qi would sparkle like this. He immediately told people to stop the carriage and let people lead his horse to them. Heunched onto the horse with Murong Qi Qi. With one whip, the horse spread out its hooves and ran joyfully towards the vast wilderness.
¡°What? Wangye took little wangfei3 for a walk?¡±
In another carriage, when Jin Mo heard this, he immediately stood up.
¡°Ruyi, didn¡¯t you stop wangye? Today is the fifteenth!¡±
¡°I couldn¡¯t stop him, ah!¡±
Ruyi pouted with some injustice.
¡°Wangfei was unhappy. Of course, Wangye wanted to make her happy......¡±
¡°Wangfei, wangfei, whose wangfei is she?! She hasn¡¯t entered the family yet! You guys already spoil her to death like this and let her think like she is heaven. How will the wangfu4 be in the future?¡±
The moment he heard that it had something to do with Murong Qi Qi, Jin Mo was immediately on fire. It¡¯s her again! Why did wangye lose control every time he encountered this woman? Wangye followed her to act willfully, was he not aware of the condition of his own body?!
¡°Servants, prepare a horse! Ruyi, follow me! We¡¯ll go search for wangye!¡±
Jin Mo rushed out with his own medicine chest. Ruyi followed him.
Because the snow had just fallen, the whole vast wilderness was an expanse of white. Plus, with a bit of sunlight, the snow got a thinyer of gold on it, making it very beautiful.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi travelled very far on the horse. Only when the carriage was no longer visible did they stop.
¡°Refreshing!¡±
Although she was riding on one horse with Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi was still very happy. She inhaled the cold fresh air. Her mood was very good.
¡°Bei Zhou¡¯s scenery, a hundred leagues locked in ice, a thousand leagues of whirling snow! Beautiful! It¡¯s really beautiful here!¡±
For a time, Murong Qi Qi was full of lofty ideals and even read out the first three sentences of Patio Spring Snow. Then she thought that over here, there¡¯s no Great Wall, so she immediately stopped and no longer continued speaking.
¡°A hundred leagues locked in ice? A thousand leagues of whirling snow?! Good sentence, good sentence!¡±
Feng Cang became even more curious about this little wangfei. Although Murong Tai was a zhuangyuan5, but as far as he knew, out of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s siblings, there¡¯s no one with a particr outstanding talent at literature. She repeatedly let him be surprised.
¡°What¡¯s next? Is there no next sentence?¡±
¡°Eh, haven¡¯t thought of it yet!¡±
Murong Qi Qiughed embarrassingly. In her heart, she med Feng Cang for hanging onto the question, making her almost put herself in an awkward situation.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t exin, and Feng Cang didn¡¯t ask any further. Before, he let people investigate Murong Qi Qi¡¯s past. He found out that during the five years she was living in Jing Xin An, everything about her waspletely nk. There was no trace to investigate any further. Even they found the head of Jin Xin An, she said that miss Murong only rested at the back of the mountain. She didn¡¯t know anything else.
It seems that this little woman has many secrets, ah!
However, what he had was plenty of time for her to slowly open her heart to him and also had plenty of patience for her to ept him. Moreover, his little wangfei was a very rich treasure. Wouldn¡¯t it be a better feeling to dig slowly to discover all those treasures......
Feng Cang quietly held Murong Qi Qi. The two quietly watched the vastnd and felt the silence between heaven and earth. Murong Qi Qi also heard Feng Cang¡¯s heartbeat.
¡°Wangye......¡±
¡°Mm?¡±
¡°If some day, I¡¯m not me anymore, will wangye still like me?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words startled Feng Cang for a moment. Then his phoenix eyesughed enchantingly.
¡°If Qing Qing is not Qing Qing, then who will you be?¡±
¡°I......¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to answer, Feng Cang kissed her forehead.
¡°Qing Qing, you don¡¯t have to say any more. No matter who you are, you are my, Feng Cang¡¯s people. I only need to know that!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s full trust made Murong Qi Qi feel very touched. She smiled and hugged Feng Cang. Her head leaned against Feng Cang¡¯s chest.
¡°Wangye, we must win this time¡¯s tournament, ah! The thought of needing to part with wangye when we lose makes my heart ache......So, it¡¯s better to win. I want to stand upright next to wangye with the identity of Nan Lin wangfei......¡±
This was probably the most truthful thought that came deep from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart and also Murong Qi Qi¡¯s first ¡®confession¡¯.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know if his heart was excited or what; in short, his eyes had heat in them. His little wangfei seemed to have begun to understand! So, his investment was finally paying off!
Feng Cang raised Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head. The eyes, which usually emitted coldness, now exuded hazy glory and the words that came out of those red lips made people feel very embarrassed: ¡°Qing Qing, if you tempt me like this again, I fear I wouldn¡¯t be able to hold it in and would kiss you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face immediately became red. She summoned a lot of courage to say such a thing and he only thought of that? Really, didn¡¯t know what men¡¯s heads were always thinking about.
¡°Since Qing Qing didn¡¯t speak, does this mean that you gave permission?! Then I¡¯ll......¡±
Feng Cang closed his eyes and leaned forward, but he touched coldness. He opened his eyes. It¡¯s actually Murong Qi Qi holding out a snow ball.
¡°Hahaha! Wangye, how does this snowball taste?¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang toe out of the daze, Murong Qi Qi already went down the horse with a silvery bell-likeughter. Her boots stepped on the thick snow.
¡°The taste is not bad!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s lips was stained with snow. His eyes were red. Coupled with that stunning and charming face, it made Murong Qi Qi lose her soul.
Such a beautiful man actually belonged to herself! Suddenly, inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart was a feeling of pride of herself as if she would get face because the man was handsome. For a time, she forgot all about the unhappiness Wanyan Bao Zhu and her group brought her!
Anyway, the person in this man¡¯s heart was her, why should she be bothered about those butterflies?! Such a stunning man like him, it¡¯s her blessing. Since it¡¯s a blessing, then there would be anger for her to suffer. However, no matter what, it¡¯s alright if he is hers! Embrace her man, let them be envious, jealous and have hatred!
The word blessing (??, fuqi) in Chinese is made of ? (fu) and ? (qi). The qi is anger. So, she means that since it¡¯s a good fortune (fu), she will also need to suffer the anger (qi) in order to have blessing.
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi lightly knocked Feng Cang over on the ground of snow.
¡°Wangye, if you tempt me like this, I fear I¡¯ll be unable to hold it in and kiss you by force!¡±
Murong Qi Qi gave back the words Feng Cang had previously rewarded her. She changed the end a bit, to make it sound like a female overlord who robbed a husband.
¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t guess wrong. Under Qing Qing¡¯s pure appearance hid a fiery heart.¡±
A beauty taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms was what Feng Cang¡¯s happy to see. The smile on his face now was more devilish. His gaze also became more attractive.
¡°Come on, Qing Qing. This time, beauty is willing to ept any punishment from Qing Qing! ¡°
¡°Haihai!¡±
Murong Qi Qi choked on her breath and repeatedly coughed several times. It seemed that this time, she failed at teasing once again. In the end, her skin wasn¡¯t as thick as Feng Cang¡¯s. Although she also wanted to overwhelm him in this matter, but unfortunately, he was Nan Lin wang. His boldness was what she, a little woman could not match......
¡°Ai, this little woman admits defeat!¡±
Murong Qi Qi sighed and pulled Feng Cang up.
¡°Today, wangye wins again!¡±
Only now did Feng Cang understand that every time Murong Qi Qi ¡®bickered¡¯ with him, it was to win him. Seeing her with her small face lowered and with such a sad expression like a child who didn¡¯t get any candy, Feng Cangughed out loud.
¡°So, it turns out that Qing Qing wanted topete in this. Next time, I¡¯ll let Qing Qing win, alright?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head and then put her hands on her hips. She looked at Feng Cang fiercely.
¡°I¡¯ll certainly let you suffer defeat! When I catch up with you, then I¡¯ll be promoted to first ce for having a thick skin!¡±
¡°Hahahaha!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®serious¡¯ expression made Feng Cang unable to hold back. Heughed till he bent over.
¡°Qing Qing, you are too cute! You are really too cute. Too cu......hai......hai......¡±
He didn¡¯t finish speaking, when he suddenly began to cough.
Oh no, the disease was acting up! Feng Cang¡¯s heart tightened. Before, it was every fifteenth night that the disease would act up, so why was it acting now ahead of time? Could it be that because the treatment got affectedst month, that¡¯s why it acted up earlier this time around? What should he do? Jin Mo wasn¡¯t here and now they were outside......the most important thing was, when Murong Qi Qi sees his appearanceter, would she think he¡¯s a monster? Would she alienate herself from him because of this?
¡°Wangye, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Murong Qi Qi sensed Feng Cang¡¯s strangeness. She was about to lean forward when Feng Cang came to her and hugged her. He then pushed her onto the horse and then gave the horse a p.
¡°Snow, go back!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s race horse was called Snow and it had followed him for five years. It was especially intelligent. Hearing Feng Cang say that, Snow spread its hooves and ran in the direction of where the team was located.
Wind whistled at her ears. The scenery at both sides passed by quickly. Just in a moment, Murong Qi Qi understood Feng Cang¡¯s meaning. It must be that something had happened to him and he didn¡¯t want her to be worried. So, he let her go back. Could it be that his disease was acting up? What kind of disease was it? Why didn¡¯t he want to let her see? Now, he was alone in the wilderness. Would there be a problem?
Didn¡¯t think more, Murong Qi Qi turned. Regardless of Snow galloping fast, she rolled onto the ground. When she stood up, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feet lightly stepped on the snow and rushed in the direction where she had juste from.
The moment Murong Qi Qi left, Feng Cang knelt on the ground. He grasped his hair. His expression was grim.
Damn it! Feng Cang bit a mouthful of blood. Using the cold weather, he forced himself to remain sober. He must hold on till Jin Moes! He must hold on till the end!
Inside his body, that kind of undercurrent began to move again. A momentter, beginning from his toes, his blood vessels swelled. The blood vessels swelled like ck vines around his ankles. Along the ankles, they reached the other parts of the body. Even his face was full of ck veins, looking very terrifying.
Damn it! Seeing himself like this, Feng Cang severely swore in his heart. A pair of ck eyes also gradually became grape violet. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi stay. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t see him like this!
Feng Cang struggled to contend with the undercurrent in his body. In his mind, he was constantly recalling, bit by bit, the happy moments he had with Murong Qi Qi. He struggled to keep himself clear-minded, a bit more clear-minded. He couldn¡¯t let himself go insane because of this gu. He couldn¡¯t let himself yield under this thing!
However, at this moment, a heart-tearing and long-bursting pain pierced his happy memories. That kind of pain, although he had experienced it for fifteen years, but every time it attacked, it still made him want to die.
¡°Feng Cang!¡±
Just as Feng Cang was about to lose his mind, a familiar voice came from far away.
¡°Wangye, where are you?¡±
When Murong Qi Qi reached the area, Feng Cang no longer was there. At that ce, there¡¯s a very long trail of footprints which extended to the other side.
¡°Feng Cang!¡±
Murong Qi Qi followed the footprints and found the curled-up Feng Cang. Seeing him like this, Murong Qi Qi was startled. Feng Cang snapped at her to stop: ¡°Stop! Don¡¯te over!¡±
¡°Feng Cang, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±
From Feng Cang¡¯s voice, Murong Qi Qi heard pain. She was even more worried and hurried forward. When she was in front of Feng Cang, she was waved away by Feng Cang.
¡°Why did youe back? Didn¡¯t benwang let you go away?!¡±
On the ground, full of snow, Feng Cang¡¯s voice revealed a coldness that would make people stay thousand miles away. And this was the first time he pulled out his identity in front of Murong Qi Qi and used the word ¡®benwang¡¯.
Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®rudeness and irrationality¡¯ made Murong Qi Qi startled for a moment, but then she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Her intuition was telling her that Feng Cang was hiding something from her. Besides, from start to finish, he had his back to her. This was something that never happened before.
¡°Wangye, if I¡¯m gone, what would you do?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t get angry from Feng Cang¡¯s coldness to her. Instead, her voice became even more gentle: ¡°Wangye, didn¡¯t you say that day that you wouldn¡¯t ask for being born at the same year, same month and same day, but that you would ask for dying at the same year, same month and same day?! How can wangye forget your own oath? Letting me go alone, what¡¯s wangye concealing from me? What¡¯s wangye hiding from me? Or is it that wangye doesn¡¯t want me anymore?¡±
Murong Qi Qi said thest sentence very pitifully, making Feng Cang¡¯s heart tighten. She must be hurt by what he had said before, but he didn¡¯t want her to see such a him! The him who is like a monster!
¡°Wangye......¡±
Murong Qi Qi tried to get closer to Feng Cang, but just when she had touched Feng Cang¡¯s cloak, Feng Cang shouted: ¡°Get lost.¡±
He pushed Murong Qi Qi away with a p and rushed forward.
This p didn¡¯t hurt Murong Qi Qi, but it let her be more convinced of her thoughts.
At this time, Feng Cang¡¯s head felt heavier. His breathing also became more rapid. Every step he took felt like his feet was filled with lead. It felt like stepping on a burning red edge, so painful that he was unable to extricate himself!
No, he couldn¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi see such a him! It¡¯s just, what did he do just now? He actually pped her! Feng Cang looked at the left hand which pped Murong Qi Qi. He wished he could chop it off.
He touched those distorted blood vessels on his face. For the first time, Feng Cang fiercely hated that person who put gu on him! Fifteen years! He searched for fifteen years, but still didn¡¯t find the person who put the gu on him!
Motherchild gu. He must find the Mother gu to lift the Child gu in him. It¡¯s just that he had searched for such a long time, and he still didn¡¯t find where the Mother gu was! Even though the Child gu in his body got eliminated many times before, but the Mother gu was still alive. The Child gu continued to multiply. Eliminating one, there would a new one. It seemed endless. Could it be that for his whole life, he had to be entangled with these nauseating things?
Read more about gu poisons here. A very detailed site about the ck magic of gu in ancient China.
¡°Wangye!¡±
When Feng Cang heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice in front of him, he discovered that while his thoughts were elsewhere, Murong Qi Qi had found him. So fast! Wasn¡¯t there quite some distance between them? How did she appear in front of him? How was it that he didn¡¯t notice?
¡°What is wangye hiding from me?¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang used a cloak to block his face, Murong Qi Qi was very anxious. What¡¯s the matter with this man? His body was not well, the disease was acting up; this was nothing. She can help him. Why did he refuse her like this? Was it that he¡¯s very ill?
Feng Cang¡¯s voice just now and those stumbling footsteps, all showed that he was under great pain. What kind of disease was it that let people be like this?
¡°Don¡¯t keep it from me anymore and bear with this alone!¡±
Murong Qi Qi went forward and pulled away Feng Cang¡¯s cloak.
Chapter 77 Feng Cang’s poison (1)
Chapter 77 Feng Cang¡¯s poison (1)
Ah......
Although Murong Qi Qi was prepared, but she still almost shouted out loud.
What kind of face is this, ah?......Mottled bruises covered Feng Cang¡¯s body like rivers. The original handsome appearance waspletely gone. What could be seen was several gorges, covering Feng Cang¡¯s facepletely like a monster from science fiction stories. Those with a weak heart may already have fainted due to fright!
And Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were purple! Even Murong Qi Qi, who had time traveled, when facing that pair of clean like crystal purple eyes, would lose her soul.
Although inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, there wasn¡¯t a trace of disgust, but Feng Cang sensed that she had been scared. He quickly lowered his head and pulled the cloak to block his face, but he didn¡¯t expect to be stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is it like this?¡±
After the surprise, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood turned into anger. Why? Who did this?
¡°Don¡¯t look!¡±
Feng Cang used his hands to block his face, but then he remembered that his hands were also so ugly. In the end, he turned and faced Murong Qi Qi with a deste back.
¡°You have seen......you can go......¡±
A touch of despair rose inside Feng Cang¡¯s heart. Aside from Ji Xiang, Ruyi, Jin Mo and housekeeper Feng Qi, Murong Qi Qi was the fifth person who saw his true situation. If it wasn¡¯t because of the disease suddenly acting up today, he would have kept this secret forever.
Pain entangled his whole body. However, how could this kind of pain beparable to the pain and the sadness in his heart? How could it beparable to the despair when Murong Qi Qi leaves? ......Finished, all is finished. She saw everything. She would certainly treat him as a monster. She didn¡¯t say anything for half a day. She must certainly be scared.
Why did the disease act up during the day? Why did he let her see?! Feng Cang fiercely scolded himself in his heart. He wanted to beat his head, but unexpectedly because of a trance, he knelt on the ground. The pain spread throughout his body. His breathing became increasingly more difficult.
If he had known that it¡¯ll be like this, should he not have been this greedy? Should he not have wished for love? Should he not have trapped her at his side?
He prefers to leave a beautiful image in her heart. He prefers to let her only see his good side and not be so dirty in front of her. Such a sorry and ugly figure like the monster in stories......
Feng Cang¡¯s consciousness gradually weakened. Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to lend an arm of support, he directly nted forward into the snow.
¡°Feng Cang!¡±
Murong Qi Qi screamed, took big steps forward and helped Feng Cang to sit up. Here, there¡¯s no vige nor shops. The only horse had also run away. There were only the two of them here. Now, Feng Cang fell ill. If he isn¡¯t treated in time, he would most certainly not be able to hold it up!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi collected a lot of dead branches. She lit them up and used the smoke to signal the people searching for them. She sat beside Feng Cang and checked his pulse.
This pulse let Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression turn bad.
Gu poison, fetal poison, cold poison......no wonder his body was so cold. No wonder he needed to take such a thick concoction every day. Who hurt him? Who did it?
The fetal poison was easy to understand. He had gotten poisoned when he was in his mother¡¯s womb. The poison transferred from his mother¡¯s body to his body and was absorbed by the baby. As for the cold poison, he certainly got it after his body experienced hotness and was then ced in bone-piercing cold water. As for the gu poison, it seemed to have some years.
However, this gu was a bit different from those Murong Qi Qi had dealt with in the past. It seems that¡¯s it¡¯s a baby gu. It¡¯s just that if it¡¯s a simple gu, with Jin Mo¡¯s ability, he would definitely be able to cure him. Why was it that Feng Cang was still like this?
Murong Qi Qi tried her best to keep a clear mind. She once again carefully checked Feng Cang¡¯s body. This checking made Murong Qi Qi inhale a deep breath!
Very vicious person, ah! His body has cold poison and this gu actually is the hot kind. The two mutually restrained each other which made Feng Cang stay alive till now. If the gu poison was removed, the cold poison would activate. If the cold poison was removed, then the gu, because there¡¯s no ¡®cold¡¯ restriction, would reproduce like crazy.
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have gotten the gu after the cold poison. To be more exact, one happened after the other, that¡¯s why he was able to keep his life. If it¡¯s like that, then the one who gave him the gu was also the one who let him be infected with the cold poison. Wanting him to die, but not wanting him to die too quickly. So, that¡¯s why that person tortures him like this. Bit by bit, that person consumed his life.
Fortunately, Jin Mo has been at Feng Cang¡¯s side. It seemed that he followed him (FC) for ten years. So to say, Feng Cang must¡¯ve gotten this disease before that.
Not even born yet and already has been poisoned. Later, the cold poison and the gu poison appeared. Who hates Feng Cang like this? Who is so hostile towards Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue¡¯s son? Being the great general¡¯s son, Feng Cang must¡¯ve gotten very good care after being born. Why is it that the evil person still got the opportunity to hurt him? Who is the one who harmed Feng Cang like this?
Multiple questions appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head. She couldn¡¯t think about the reason behind this in such a short moment. After seeing Feng Cang¡¯s face turning so ck, Murong Qi Qi took out her self-made medicine ¡®Warm incense pill¡¯. She opened Feng Cang¡¯s ck lips and stuffed it inside his mouth.
Warm incense pill was a good medicine to ease the cold poison. It¡¯s just that both the cold poison and the gu poison were acting up at the same time. If only the cold poison was eased, then the gu would go rampant. Must curb the gu!
Murong Qi Qi once again collected a lot of dead branches, making the fire very big. Then she took off Feng Cang¡¯s clothes.
When they went out, she didn¡¯t bring the medicine case. Fortunately, she¡¯s used to carrying some silver needles on her, which was now useful.
After sterilizing the silver needles, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands traced Feng Cang¡¯s body in search of the gu......
When Jin Mo arrived, he saw the scene of Murong Qi Qi putting needles inside Feng Cang. He immediately shouted: ¡°Stop!¡±
His whip flew out. Just when it¡¯s about to hit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands, it got seized by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°What are you doing?!¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s heart raised to his throat. When he saw Feng Cang¡¯s appearance, he panicked. In the end, the disease still acted up! It actually acted up in such a ghost-like ce!
¡°Go away! Let me!¡±
Just the thought of Murong Qi Qi bringing Feng Cang out and that¡¯s why Feng Cang became like this, Jin Mo¡¯s expression turned bad. He pushed Murong Qi Qi away and put down his medicine chest. He took out the silver needles. After sterilizing, he stuck them into Feng Cang¡¯s body.
Feng Cang¡¯s appearance also scared Ruyi. Fortunately, they saw the thick smoke lit by Murong Qi Qi and rushed over here in time.
What surprised Ruyi was that Murong Qi Qi seemed to not have been scared by such a wangye.1 If it wasn¡¯t because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s signal, don¡¯t know where they would have been searching now. So to say, they needed to thank Murong Qi Qi. Otherwise, they don¡¯t know what kind of trouble might have happened.
¡°Thanking wangfei!¡±2
Ruyi went to Murong Qi Qi and bowed in front of her. Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to speak, Ruyi went to find dead branches to let the fire go more higher. Such a cold day, it¡¯s not good to let wangye get a cold! Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak and stood beside Jin Mo. Looking at him using the needle, she stood nearby, acting the supporting role.
Jin Mo was concentrating very hard and didn¡¯t notice that the person next to him was Murong Qi Qi. When he finished with the acupuncture on Feng Cang, Jin Mo wiped away his sweat. He turned his head and saw that the person beside him was Murong Qi Qi. Jin Mo¡¯s temper came again: ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
¡°How long did wangye had the gu poison? How long did he have the cold poison? What kind of poison is the fetal poison?¡±
Murong Qi Qi expression was very serious. She didn¡¯t seem to see the disrespecting from Jin Mo.
Murong Qi Qi pointing out all the problems of Feng Cang at once, startled Jin Mo. Thinking back to the treatment of just now, Feng Cang¡¯s body seemed to be a lot warmer. He definitely took some kind of medicine. Thinking about it more, it¡¯s certainly Murong Qi Qi who had fed him that. Jin Mo¡¯s mood turned a little better.
¡°Noment!¡±
Jin Mo put the clothes on Feng Cang.
¡°Princess only needs to be good to wangye. Next time, don¡¯t be so willful and go to such a remote ce!¡±
Murong Qi Qi could understand Jin Mo¡¯s attitude towards her. Living together for a time, Murong Qi Qi could see Jin Mo¡¯s loyalty to Feng Cang. This person has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although every time, heined that Feng Cang didn¡¯t cooperate well with the treatment, but every time he will treat it extremely serious. Besides, just now Murong Qi Qi saw Jin Mo¡¯s acupuncture skills. His skills are not bad. No wonder master often praised this eldest senior brother.
However, now he¡¯s concealing Feng Cang¡¯s case from her, which made her unhappy. Very unhappy.
¡°I¡¯m asking you, when was wangye poisoned with the gu? When was the cold poison put in his body? What kind of poison is the fetal poison?¡±
¡°Noment!¡±
The moment Jin Mo¡¯s voice fell, on his neck was a cold dagger.
¡°Say! Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression had never been so serious. She had never thought that Feng Cang would be ill like this. Outsiders only knew about this Nan Lin wang¡¯s fame, how would they know that he is so pitiful? Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t imagine what taking bitter concoctions for more than ten years is like. She couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of torture it¡¯s to him to bear such a pain every month!
This man had always been tender and considerate to her. He always had been pleasant and never said a bad word. He had been holding her in the palm of his hands, but she didn¡¯t even know he had such diseases. Murong Qi Qi med herself very much. They obviously stayed together day and night and she¡¯s also a doctor, but she didn¡¯t know he was so ill!
Jin Mo never seen such an expression on Murong Qi Qi before. He saw her self-me very clearly. It¡¯s just, what point does it have to me herself now?
Jin Mo humphed coldly. He seized Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrist and threw her hand off.
¡°Princess, don¡¯t cause more trouble!¡±
Not waiting for Jin Mo to turn around, he got kicked down by Murong Qi Qi. He fell onto the ground and ate a mouthful of snow.
¡°Say! Or die......¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi was different from usual. Her whole body emitted coldness. The tone was also no longer gentle. It became more tough. And her foot stepped on Jin Mo¡¯s back. Not light nor heavy, but that strength made him unable to get up or move.
¡°Hehe, didn¡¯t expect that princess also knows martial arts......,¡± Jin Moughed. It turned out, she lied to wangye! She¡¯s not a weak woman. She hid it so well! Fancy that wangye treats her like a treasure and she didn¡¯t even reveal her real self to Feng Cang. In the end, is it that this woman is very good at scheming or is she not Murong Qi Qi, but has been reced with the real Murong Qi Qi and was actually a powerful figure hiding at Feng Cang¡¯s side?
Thinking till here, Jin Mo shouted once and kicked at Murong Qi Qi. He stood up and moved to the other side.
The wind blew past. Jin Mo¡¯s thin lips were held tightly together. His eyes looked sharply at Murong Qi Qi.
This woman changed appearance. She was no longer the cowardly andzy person. The aura exuding from her body was something no one could ignore. How could such a woman be the ¡®rubbish¡¯ from the rumors?!
¡°Who the hell are you?¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s blue robe was blown up by the wind. His ck hair fluttered with the wind.
¡°What¡¯s the matter with wangye? Don¡¯t let me ask for the third time!¡±
¡°Does princess really care about what¡¯s wrong with wangye? Since princess is really worried, why don¡¯t you confess what your true identity is? Otherwise, Jin Mo will think that princess stayed at wangye¡¯s side with ulterior motives and will get rid of princess as a spy!¡±
Jin Mo slowly raised his hand. He actually picked up some branch as a weapon.
¡°Jin Mo has never used his hands on women. Today, I will make an exception for princess! Princess, sh your weapon.¡±
Ruyi just came back from picking up firewood. He didn¡¯t expect to see the scene of Jin Mo and Murong Qi Qi confronting each other.
¡°Sire, you are......¡±
¡°She knows martial arts. She is Xi Qi¡¯s spy!¡±
Jin Mo used two sentences to put out his judgement of Murong Qi Qi. The moment Ruyi heard that Murong Qi Qi was harmful to Feng Cang, he immediately put down the firewood. He rushed to Feng Cang¡¯s side and pulled out his sword. He looked guardedly at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Ah......¡±
Murong Qi Qi never expected that Jin Mo¡¯s prejudice towards her was so deep. Since it¡¯s like that, it¡¯s time to teach this senior brother a good lesson to let him know how to take care of his junior sister.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s foot hooked a branch. Her mouth revealed a dreamy smile.
¡°I don¡¯t like seeing blood. Since that¡¯s the case, I also choose a branch. But, I onlypete with you for three strokes. If you lose, you need to tell me about wangye¡¯s disease!¡±
¡°You¡¯re too confident!¡±
After hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Jin Mo humphed coldly.
¡°So sure. Could it be that you are expecting that when wangye wakes up, he¡¯lle protect you? No need for three strokes, one stroke is enough to get rid of you!¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s words let Murong Qi Qiugh out loud.
¡°Alright! Let¡¯s try......¡±
A ¡®try¡¯ wasn¡¯t finished yet, when Murong Qi Qi already disappeared in front of Jin Mo. When Jin Mo found out that something was beside him, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s palm wind was already close to his temples and cut off a few strands of hair.
¡°One stroke!¡±
Not waiting for Jin Mo to attack, Murong Qi Qi went back to her ce.
Everything happened so fast as though nothing had happened at all. The palms of Ruyi were full of sweat. He was level seven and didn¡¯t see how Murong Qi Qi attacked. How many more secrets did this wangfei have? If she really was harmful to wangye, then what should they do?
Jin Mo was also frozen. Her wind palm was very terrifying. He had never seen anything like it before. This woman was not simple as only knowing martial arts, but she was actually a top master! Just now, she acted so just to give him a lesson. If she really wanted his life, he would¡¯ve been a corpse now.
¡°Hu......¡±
Murong Qi Qi spread her palm and showed Jin Mo the few strands of hair she cut just now. While she was at it, she blew the few strands of hair to let them fall to the ground. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were full of provocation. The smirk on her mouth was very obvious as if to say: ¡°Look, you¡¯re just so-so!¡±
Sure enough, being stimted by Murong Qi Qi like this, made Jin Mo angry!
The body and hair are the parents. Murong Qi Qi actually treated his hair like that, making Jin Mo furious. His teeth made grinding noises. The eyes looking at Murong Qi Qi were full of coldness. Just now, he was careless and fell into this woman¡¯s trap. Now, he would not be like that!
¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±

Chapter 78 Feng Cang’s poison (2)
Chapter 78 Feng Cang¡¯s poison (2)
Jin Mo rushed towards Murong Qi Qi like lightning. The branch in his hand has long been changed into silver needles. ¡®Sou, sou, sou......¡¯ they flew towards Murong Qi Qi.
Jin Mo making his attack let Ruyi feel sweat for Murong Qi Qi.
Although he didn¡¯t know what had happened, but Jin Mo followed wangye1 for ten years. He wouldn¡¯t lie. Besides, Murong Qi Qi indeed knows martial arts. This was something they didn¡¯t expect. It made Ruyi believe Jin Mo¡¯s words even more.
It¡¯s just that, saying Murong Qi Qi was Xi Qi¡¯s spy, Ruyi didn¡¯t believe that either. After all, getting along for such a long time, he felt that Murong Qi Qi was a good person. At least, her heart must¡¯ve moved for wangye and she also didn¡¯t look like the bad guys. Now that Jin Mo had changed the branch for silver needles; he obviously had the intention to kill, making Ruyi feel anxious.
If Jin Mo really slipped and killed Murong Qi Qi, what would Feng Cang do when he wakes up? Ruyi saw very clearly wangye¡¯s good feelings towards Murong Qi Qi these past few days. Ever since this little wangfei2 showed up, the smiles appeared a lot more on wangye. Even Ruyi, who had been at his side for so long, was surprised.
Wangye truly loves Murong Qi Qi! Ruyi was very sure of this. No matter what Murong Qi Qi¡¯s background was, if Jin Mo really kills Murong Qi Qi today, then no matter if it¡¯s intentional or not, when wangye wakes up, he would be in pain and maybe he would also kill Jin Mo......
If Jin Mo died, then there would be no one left who could treat Feng Cang¡¯s disease. By then, what could they do? Should they just watch wangye die?!
In just one moment, Ruyi¡¯s brain experienced a strong struggle. No! He must stop Jin Mo! No matter who Murong Qi Qi is, it¡¯s wangye who should make the decision!
Thinking till here, Ruyi intended to rescue Murong Qi Qi. However, those silver needles were only an inch away from Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t dodge or hide. She seemed to not know that danger wasing at her.
¡°Be careful, ah......¡±
With no time left to use an attack to stop, Ruyi could only shout to warn Murong Qi Qi.
Jin Mo was surprised that Ruyi was helping Murong Qi Qi. It also let him have a more ¡®profound¡¯ understanding of Murong Qi Qi. Ruyi followed Feng Cang since an early age, so how did Murong Qi Qi bribe him in such a short period?! This woman was indeed a devil!
Thinking till here, Jin Mo¡¯s attacks became more ruthless.
¡°Ah......¡±
Murong Qi Qi still didn¡¯t move. Only when the silver needles were almost in her eyes, did she wave her hands and let the silver needles enter her sleeves. She then turned her hands and shot the silver needles back at Jin Mo.
One attack, ¡®falling flowers, flowing water¡¯, made Jin Mo stunned. By the time he came out of the daze, the silver needles had already pierced his shoulders. He felt a burst of numbness. Oh no, there¡¯s anaesthetic on the needles! The numbness on his body immediately let Jin Mo think about the anesthetic Murong Qi Qi had previously smeared on the dagger.
¡°Who are you? Why do you know ¡®falling flowers, flowing water¡¯?!¡±
He gritted his teeth while pulling out the needles from his body. Jin Mo¡¯s eyes locked with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. This ¡®falling flowers, flowing water¡¯ was his master, the holy doctor¡¯s unique attack. Why does Murong Qi Qi know it? What¡¯s going on?
¡°Ah, my master taught me!¡±
¡°Who is your master?¡±
Jin Mo was even more puzzled. Master didn¡¯t ept female disciples. Impossible. Murong Qi Qi and him absolutely didn¡¯te from the same master!
Seeing that Jin Mo didn¡¯t believe it, Murong Qi Qi took out a bone needle.
¡°Jin Mo, do you recognize this?¡±
¡°Rhinoceros needle!¡±
Jin Mo recognized the bone needle in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. This was master¡¯s most treasured thing. It was actually in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands! This was too incredible!
¡°Where did you steal it from?!¡±
¡°Jin Mo, in your heart, is my character so bad?¡±
Murong Qi Qi humphed coldly. Now she knew how much prejudice Jin Mo held against her.
¡°No wonder the old man doesn¡¯t like you. You really are not likeable. Fortunately, in the end, old man got such a treasure apprentice like me. That¡¯s why he passed me the rhinoceros needle.¡±
¡°Old man?!¡±
Jin Mo waspletely startled. If what Murong Qi Qi said was true, then she¡¯s his junior sister. She actually called master old man! So rude! So disrespectful!
¡°Of course.¡±
On Murong Qi Qi¡¯s finger appeared an ancient silver ring.
Seeing the silver ring, the doubts in Jin Mo¡¯s heart disappeared. He immediately knelt on one knee. That ring was the symbol for the status of the holy doctor. Now, Jin Mo definitely knew Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity. She was Lian gongzi, the one who was nicknamed strange doctor, his junior brother.
Before, in the letter master wrote to him, he said clearly that he passed down his legacy to his (JM) little junior brother Lian gongzi. He also said that seeing the silver ring was like seeing him. Only after Murong Qi Qi took out the silver ring, did Jin Mo believe her.
¡°Yo, eldest senior brother, why are you giving me such a big bow?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi slowly walked to Jin Mo and swung the silver ring in front of him.
¡°Just now, didn¡¯t you not believe me? I had to take out master¡¯s token for you to believe me. It seems that you¡¯re quite afraid of the old man, ah!¡±
Jin Mo understood that Murong Qi Qi was making fun of him, but he no longer talked back. Just now, he treated Murong Qi Qi like that. Why shouldn¡¯t he let her lessen her anger?
It¡¯s just, Jin Mo never thought that Lian gongzi would be a woman. Besides, he believed that he (Lian) was living at the ends of the earth, but actually he¡¯s right under their noses and was Murong Qi Qi! This is really too surprising! Master praised Lian gongzi very much and boasted that he was a rare genius of hundred years.
Originally, he thought that strange doctor Lian gongzi appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Jin Mo never expected Lian gongzi having this identity and living so low-key at his side.
Small obscurity is like an open space. Middle obscurity is like a market. Big obscurity is like the imperial morning court. She yed out this poem vividly. Who would know that the princess who hade to form a marriage alliance, princess Zhao Yang, the rubbish in the eyes of people, was also the strange doctor Lian gongzi whose fame shook the world! Hiding at Feng Cang¡¯s ce was indeed an excellent n.
Meaning of the poem: the greater the genius, the more concealed he/she is
Ruyi was far away, so he didn¡¯t hear Jin Mo and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s talk, but after seeing Jin Mo kneel in front of Murong Qi Qi, Ruyi was somewhat shocked.
This evil doctor, aside from wangye, didn¡¯t acknowledge anyone. Just now, he shouted that he wanted to kill Murong Qi Qi, but now he¡¯s acting like this. In the end, what had happened? Inside Ruyi¡¯s heart appeared a big question mark. If it wasn¡¯t because he needed to take care of Feng Cang, he would¡¯ve certainly gone over to see what¡¯s happening!
Only after letting Jin Mo kneel for a while longer, did the anger inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart subside. Although Jin Mo was somewhat unreasonable, but he¡¯s extremely respectful towards master. This silver ring was originally a keepsake of a doctor. Seeing the ring was like seeing master. This concept had been deeply ingrained inside Jin Mo¡¯s head!
¡°Eldest senior brother, get up! The ground is cold.¡±
After putting away the silver ring, Murong Qi Qi personally helped Jin Mo up.
Knowing that Murong Qi Qi did it intentionally, but Jin Mo could only smile bitterly. Before, he gave her many bad faces, he didn¡¯t think that she would have remembered them all. Indeed, it¡¯s preferable to offend a vile character than to offend a woman. Especially women with such ability like Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I, should I call you little junior sister or should I call you princess?¡±
Looking at Murong Qi Qi once again, Jin Mo felt somewhat ufortable. Since Murong Qi Qi was his little junior sister, then she wouldn¡¯t harm Feng Cang. Thinking back of those misunderstandings, Jin Mo felt somewhat embarrassed. He misunderstood a good person! However, he cannot be med entirely, ah. If Murong Qi Qi made her identity known earlier on, then these misunderstandings wouldn¡¯t have happened at all.
¡°Princess.¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised her head, narrowed her eyes and looked at Jin Mo.
¡°Eldest senior brother, now you should tell me the things about Feng Cang. Fetal poison, cold poison and gu poison; who did it?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Jin Moughed bitterly and shook his head.
¡°I¡¯m a doctor. My task is to heal the dying. As for those things that happened in the past, there¡¯s no need to know them clearly!¡±
Jin Mo saying that made Murong Qi Qi want to pry his head open and see what he was thinking. Knowing the patient¡¯s past would enable them to understand the mind of the one who poisoned him better and also let them have more information about the antidote and help them more with detoxification. Could it be that he didn¡¯t know this?
¡°Does senior brother want to conceal it, or does senior brother really not know?¡±
¡°Since you want to know, why don¡¯t you go ask wangye in person?¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s voice had just faded when they heard Ruyi¡¯s voice: ¡°Wangfei, mister, wangye has woken up.¡±
¡°Wangye woke up!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi heard this, her heart jumped up from joy. This was the best news she¡¯d ever heard. She immediately rushed to Feng Cang. Before she ran away, she said to Jin Mo: ¡°Asking eldest senior brother to help me keep my identity a secret! Thank you!¡±
After arriving in front of Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes looked in the once again ck eyes of Feng Cang. Excited, she suddenly flew into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Feng Cang, how are you feeling? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?¡±
Must say that Jin Mo¡¯s skills were excellent. Feng Cang was now restored to his original appearance and did not look as frightening as before.
When he opened his eyes, the fact that he was able to see Murong Qi Qi and hold her, let Feng Cang¡¯s disturbed mind calm down. Just now, he was really afraid that Murong Qi Qi would leave him because of his ugly side. He didn¡¯t expect that at the moment he had woken up, she was at his side.
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m sorry, I let you be worried!¡±
Feng Cang gently hugged Murong Qi Qi. His chin rubbed her hair.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. Before I was so fierce towards you and scared you, I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°Wangye, if you apologize to me, then it¡¯s as if you¡¯re regarding me as an outsider. Today, I was wrong. If I had known that wangye was feeling unwell, I wouldn¡¯t have let wangye apany me. Wangye also wouldn¡¯t have suddenly gotten sick. I was wrong!¡±
Murong Qi Qibed Feng Cang¡¯s hair with her hands, full of heartache. Her hand gently touched Feng Cang¡¯s cold face.
¡°However, next time, if wangye encounters ufortable things, wangye must tell me and let me know. Watching wangye being ufortable without being able to do anything made me feel very useless!¡±
While talking, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell. Thinking about the pain Feng Cang had suffered, Murong Qi Qi felt heartache. The cold poison and gu poison in his body were at least ten years. He had the fetal poison since birth. Really don¡¯t know how he survived all these years! It must¡¯ve been very hard, very very hard!
¡°Qing Qing, are you crying for me?¡±
Looking at that drop of crystal-clear tear on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small chin, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but take her once again in his embrace.
Before, he didn¡¯t tell Murong Qi Qi, because he was afraid that she¡¯d worry and even more afraid that she¡¯d leave him. Thinking about it now, he should abandon all of those thoughts. How would his woman have the same thoughts as ordinary women?!
¡°Next time, I¡¯ll surely not hide it from you. Really, I promise you!¡±
On the snow ground, these pair of lovers told their inner feelings as though no one else was around. Ruyi was very sensible and retreated. Jin Mo looked deeply at Murong Qi Qi and then also retreated to one side.
If saying that in the past, he thought that Murong Qi Qi had a hidden motive in approaching Feng Cang, now he waspletely at ease. It so happened that master had said in the letter that this little junior sister was very skillful. He should discuss this with her and quickly find a cure for Feng Cang.
However, Jin Mo didn¡¯t know why Murong Qi Qi wanted to hide her identity from Feng Cang. She has martial arts and knows medicine which is good for Feng Cang. Why does she need to keep it a secret?
At this time, Murong Qi Qi had already be the best candidate to be Feng Cang¡¯s wife in Jin Mo¡¯s eyes. If Murong Qi Qi knew that Jin Mo hoped for a wife who understood medicine in order to take care of Feng Cang; knowing that all his thoughts were in consideration of Feng Cang, she would certainly take a good guess as to what kind of feelings Jin Mo had towards Feng Cang.
To Ruyi, Jin Mo exined a bit about the misunderstanding between him and Murong Qi Qi in a simple way. In the end, he directed him to ¡®seal¡¯ his mouth and don¡¯t tell Feng Cang about their dispute and that Murong Qi Qi had martial arts.
¡°Mister, it¡¯s a good thing that wangfei has martial arts, ah. Why shouldn¡¯t we let wangye know?¡±
Ruyi¡¯s mind was simple and didn¡¯t understand the hidden meaning inside. Letting him keep it from Feng Cang was impossible. Unless, there¡¯s really a good reason.
¡°Let wangfei be wangye¡¯s hidden dagger.......¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s words were very simple. Ruyi understood immediately. So, it¡¯s like that! Wangfei deliberately hid her martial arts in order to protect wangye, ah! Although they were wangye¡¯s personal bodyguards, but there were times where they would be negligent. In that case, there would be wangfei. So, there¡¯s no need to worry anymore!
When Feng Cang and the others returned to the entourage, Su Mei and Su Yue immediately came forward to greet them.
¡°Miss, is all alright with you?! Where did you go for so long, making us very worried?!¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Murong Qi Qi hadn¡¯t finished speaking yet, when Wanyan Bao Zhu rushed over,
¡°Cang gege3, where did you go?¡±
Seeing the worried expressions on Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die, who had followed behind her, Murong Qi Qi deliberately nestled into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Wangye, in the future, you should take me to rx, yo! Being bored in the carriage every day really is too ufortable. It¡¯s better to go outside and have a world with only two people!¡±
Have a world with only two people: a romantic couple¡¯s world.
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die heard that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi went out on a ¡®date¡¯, their expression immediately changed.
This Murong Qi Qi was wrapped around Feng Cang every day in the carriage and now she even went out with him, she really didn¡¯t know what kind of thing ¡®shame¡¯ was.
Immediately, Mu Yu Die opened her mouth to make things difficult for Murong Qi Qi: ¡°Princess Zhao Yang, you and wangye are not married yet. There¡¯s a saying that men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things. Asking princess to have self-respect.¡±
Men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things: men and women shouldn¡¯t be alone together nor have physical contact.
¡°Self-respect?¡±
Murong Qi Qi acted like she heard the biggest joke. The eyes looking at Mu Yu Die were immediately full of sarcasm.
¡°In any case, wangye and I have a marriage agreement. Men and women cultivating feelings before the marriage is a normal thing. Miss Mu indeed knows what self-respect is, but why is it that every time, you¡¯ll rush to gather yourself to be at my family¡¯s wangye¡¯s side?!¡±
¡°I, I didn¡¯t!¡±
Being talked like that by Murong Qi Qi, made Mu Yu Die¡¯s face be red.
She was not like Wanyan Bao Zhu who liked Feng Cang and made it known to everyone. She was a low-key and subtle person. She silently looked at Feng Cang, hoping that one day he¡¯d turn around and notice her existence. So, her thoughts being pointed out by Murong Qi Qi, made Mu Yu Die ashamed into anger.
¡°Zeze!¡±
Looking at that beautiful face of Mu Yu Die which was now red like a monkey¡¯s butt, Murong Qi Qi chuckled. Her head leaned against Feng Cang¡¯s chest.
Anyway, these women already hated her to death. They could never be friends. Why should she give them face when they are making things difficult for her?!
¡°Doesn¡¯t the rule say that a female yer¡¯s age can¡¯t surpass eighteen? If I didn¡¯t remember incorrectly, miss Mu¡¯s age is already over twenty. If it¡¯s found out that you have concealed your age to participate in the tournament, the people who know will say that miss is infatuated with our family¡¯s wangye and deliberately hid your age to get close to wangye. The people who don¡¯t know, really don¡¯t know how they will see our family¡¯s wangye!¡±
Murong Qi Qi deliberately saying ¡®our family¡¯s wangye¡¯ repeatedly, made Feng Cang really happy. Through observing these talks, Feng Cang found out that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s possessiveness was quite strong. This point made Feng Cang very satisfied. Only when a woman cares about a man did they be so overbearing. She wants to be bossy, he is willing to let her be!
¡°Now that beloved consort says it, benwang4 remembers. Miss Mu indeed doesn¡¯t meet the rules of the tournament. Benwang was indeed negligent in this matter. This time¡¯s tournament is being held in Bei Zhou. If this matter is discovered by the other countries, it¡¯ll certainly cause disputes. Servants, escort miss Mu back to the capital. Benwang will find another candidate to rece miss Mu.¡±
Just one sentence from Murong Qi Qi was able to let Feng Cang make Mu Yu Die go away; it made people couldn¡¯t help but have a whole new level of respect for her and they also became aware of her position in Feng Cang¡¯s heart.
¡°No, wangye, I won¡¯t go! I sincerely want to participate in the tournament! I sincerely want to bring glory to the country!¡±
Mu Yu Die never imagined that Murong Qi Qi would be so ¡®vicious¡¯ and wouldn¡¯t tolerate her (MYD)!
This tournament between the four countries, which happened once every five years, was extremely rare. Because she was sick during thest tournament, she was unable to participate. This time, she¡¯s over the age limit. It was only because she knelt, cried and begged for a long time in front of her grandfather, that in the end, prime minister Mu said some good words in front of the emperor. That¡¯s why she was able toe.
¡°Benwang believes miss Mu¡¯s sincerity, it¡¯s just that the rules must be followed by all countries. Bei Zhou is no exception.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s answer was cold, unlike the gentleness he showed Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangye, not being able to participate in the tournament, alright! Please, asking you to allow me to watch the tournament! I want to experience what the tournament of the four countries is like. Don¡¯t send me back!¡±
If it was as usual, Wanyan Bao Zhu would have pped at Mu Yu Die suffering defeat. However, today Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t feel any happiness. After all, she and Mu Yu Die have amon enemy......Murong Qi Qi. If there¡¯s no Mu Yu Die, wouldn¡¯t her (WBZ) power be weaker? One more person is one more force, ah!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Bao Zhu went forward to plead for Mu Yu Die: ¡°Cousin, since miss Mu¡¯s age surpassed the limit and she can¡¯t participate in the tournament, let somebody take her position. However, we¡¯ve been on the journey for so long. Now letting her, a woman, go back alone, it¡¯s not safe and it¡¯s not justifiable. Wouldn¡¯t it better to let miss Mu go with us to Yongzhou?! Letting her only look at the tournament will also be good, ah!¡±
While Wanyan Bao Zhu was speaking, she gave the other candidates a meaningful nce. The princess already opened her mouth, they also couldn¡¯t refuse. So, they all went forward and pleaded for Mu Yu Die.
¡°Qing Qing, what do you think?¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t put those people in his eyes. He directly lowered his head to ask Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi saw and understood all those nces of Wanyan Bao Zhu. It seemed that she and Mu Yu Die were now standing on the same side. If she sent Mu Yu Die back, then wouldn¡¯t Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s power weaken? Then where would she (WBZ) have the ability to ¡®bully¡¯ her (MQQ). And when would she, Murong Qi Qi, have the chance to pull down the two of the, at once?!
¡°Since princess opened your mouth to plead, this face, I should naturally give; otherwise, it¡¯ll let people think that wangye is too inhumane. It¡¯s better to let miss Mu stay! Speaking of which, she is also a pitiful person. Missing this opportunity, the next half of her life, she might not have this blessing anymore!¡±
¡°Puchi......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words caused theughter of one person. Wanyan Kang stepped on the snow and came towards them. His mouth was still wearing that ck belly smile. He gave Murong Qi Qi a big thumbs up.
¡°Cousin, you and cousin-inw went away to have the world for you two alone, really let people wait for a long time. Next time, why don¡¯t you bring us along?! If you don¡¯t mind......¡±
¡°Benwang minds!¡±
Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi when he went inside the carriage, leaving a cold sentence: ¡°Benwang hates bum beetles the most!¡±
Bum beetle: someone who tags along
The moment Feng Cang¡¯s words came out, Mu Yu Die almost cried. It¡¯s certainly Murong Qi Qi who gossiped in front of Feng Cang. That¡¯s why he shamed her like this in front of everyone. It must be that! If before, Mu Yu Die¡¯s hatred towards Murong Qi Qi was only fifty percent, now it has upgraded to one hundred percent.
Seeing Mu Yu Die¡¯s expression, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t be happy. These past few days, Feng Cang was also cold towards her. No matter how she dressed, mature and beautiful or pure and pleasant, his eyes were always locked onto Murong Qi Qi. At his side, there was also always Murong Qi Qi. Now, it looked like Feng Cang was shaming Mu Yu Die, but was it not also a warning to her?!
¡°Princess, endure temporarily, the breeze will be still and the waves will be quiet!¡±
The breeze will be still and the will be quiet: tranquil environment.
Chou er5 quietly went to Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s side.
¡°When we reached Yongzhou city, we¡¯ll make it so that she won¡¯t be able to cry even if she wanted to.¡±
Chou er¡¯s words reminded Wanyan Bao Zhu about the thing they had nned recently. Her mood turned a bit better.
¡°Did you contact those people? Don¡¯t make a mistake by then!¡±
¡°Princess, rest assured. All have been arranged properly. We only need to wait till we arrive at Yongzhou.¡±
Chou er revealed an evil smile. Her eyes also fell on Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage. Murong Qi Qi, you ruined me, I¡¯ll also let you get a taste of what being ruined is like. I¡¯ll let you be pleased for a few more days! When the timees, I¡¯ll let you feel that living is more painful than death!
Chapter 79 Princess Bao Zhu’s good calculation (1)
Chapter 79 Princess Bao Zhu¡¯s good calction (1)
After the toss and turn of the day, Feng Cangid in a bucket of bubble bath at night. Haze and mist were around him. The ck water didn¡¯t reach his neck. It¡¯s still that pale face with the deep purple eyes. Only now, the eyes had a trace of satisfaction and no longer had the mncholy of the past.
¡°Ruyi, let Jixiang watch over Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die. If they are disrespectful towards wangfei1, no need to be polite.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Ruyi retreated. Inside the room, only Jin Mo was left.
¡°Wangye2, today princess asked me about your illness. I didn¡¯t say anything.¡±
Jin Mo threw a thick concoction into the barrel.
¡°She maye personally to ask you one of these days.¡±
¡°I got it.¡±
Feng Cang narrowed his eyes and leaned against the barrel. Thoughtfully, he looked at Jin Mo¡¯s busy figure.
¡°Before, didn¡¯t you always call her Murong Qi Qi, howe today you changed to princess? After I fainted, what had happened?¡±
Feng Cang understood Jin Mo¡¯s personality very well. Before, his prejudice towards Murong Qi Qi was very big. However, whenever he mentioned Murong Qi Qi, his attitude was a lot calmer. It¡¯s somewhat unexpected. Surely, something must¡¯ve happened. Otherwise, this poisonous tongue of Jin Mo wouldn¡¯t have changed so much.
¡°Wangye, I promised princess that I wouldn¡¯t say anything. If wangye is curious, wangye can go ask princess.¡±
Inside the room, the smell of medicine was very heavy. Feng Cang took a deep breath and slowly let it out. He was very dissatisfied with Jin Mo¡¯s answer. His little wangfei had a secret with another man. No matter how he thought of it, it didn¡¯t feel right.
¡°I didn¡¯t watch for just a moment. You already have a little secret. Jin Mo, you really know how to take advantage, ah......¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s tone was exactly like a ming husband, making Jin Mo get goosebumps all over his body.
¡°Wangye, I really can¡¯t say. Let princess tell you personally! After what happened today, I feel that princess¡¯s heart is beginning to have wangye. This is something worthy of celebration and let wangye¡¯s pampering towards her not go in vain.¡±
¡°Alright! I know you want to change the topic. I won¡¯t ask anymore. How are the things being arranged over there? Will there be any ws?!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice took a turn and talked about the tournament of the four countries.
¡°Wangye, rest assured! Everything in Yongzhou has been arranged. From the three countries, aside from Dong Lu¡¯s missionaries, Xi Qi¡¯s and Nan Feng¡¯s missionaries have also already arrived. They¡¯ve been arranged at the house of the embassy. Everything was done properly. However, this time¡¯s tournament seems a little different from thest time. Some people of the jianghu3 came. Some are even high expert martial artists. Yesterday, Gui Yan (Ghost Eye) discovered that the head of Wu Ji Gong, Zhao Lang is in Yongzhou.......¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Cang slowly opened his eyes. His mouth revealed a faintly discernible smile. A strand of ck hair hung on his forehead. He gently blew away the hair, revealing that too beautiful face.
¡°Zhao Lang? What did hee to do? Is his old lover not in Yanjing? Could it be that he switched to someone new?¡±
The sarcasm in Feng Cang¡¯s voice made Jin Mo smile. The wordsing from his mouth became more vicious: ¡°Presumably! The crown prince¡¯s body is so thin that it may no longer satisfy him. asionally, he needs to change his taste!¡±
¡°Jin Mo, you¡¯re evil......¡± Feng Cangughed but his eyes burst with coldness.
¡°The w of Wu Ji Gong is really long, to have even stretched to my territory......let Gui Yan continue to watch closely. I don¡¯t like someonemitting evil under my eyes.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
It¡¯s the same as what Jin Mo said. After Feng Cang finished bathing, changed into clean clothes and went back to his room, Murong Qi Qi was already waiting inside for him. She really couldn¡¯t wait till the next day to know the answer. So, she directly waited in the room and wanted to know all about what Feng Cang had experienced.
¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s sote. Howe you are not resting?¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi, with one hand supporting her chin, napping lightly, Feng Cang felt heartache. He went forward and took her into his embrace. His big hands held her small hands to give her warmth.
¡°Wangye, howe you onlye back now, ah?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi rubbed her eyes. She waited for a long time and was somewhat sleepy. So, she took a nap. Now seeing Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi spirited up. She leaned against his arms and smelled the scenting from his body.
¡°Hehe, could it be that Qing Qing can no longer wait till the wedding night and intends to get the deed done in advance?¡±
Feng Cang was so much in love with this ignorant Murong Qi Qi. His lips gently swept her facial features and locked her in his embrace.
¡°Not at all!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s joke let Murong Qi Qi wake up. Seeing theughter in his eyes, Murong Qi Qi picked up Feng Cang¡¯s chin. She looked carefully at his face. While looking, she praised: ¡°Zeze, wangye, you really look like a feast to the eyes. If it wasn¡¯t because I saw that you¡¯re very tired today, I won¡¯t mind eating you up! Now, should we not talk about your problem?¡±
¡°Problem? What kind of problem do I have?¡±
Feng Cang continued to y the fool, but his heart felt as sweet as eating honey. She was worried about him. That¡¯s why she waited here for so long! Jin Mo was indeed right. Now, her heart did have him. That¡¯s why she cared.
¡°Not allowed to y the fool. Not allowed to change the topic. I want to know who harmed you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression became serious. She stared at that pair of charming phoenix eyes of Feng Cang with a very solemn expression.
¡°Tell me the problem about your body in full details! Not allowed to conceal anything! Otherwise......¡±
¡°Otherwise, what?¡±
He was used to seeing the gentle and docile appearance of Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s the first time he saw her acting so serious.
Seeing that Feng Cang still wanted to pretend to be confused and wishing to hide it from her, Murong Qi Qi supported her chin and smiled sweetly: ¡°I heard that many handsome guys wille to the tournament of the four countries. I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s true or not. By then, I should take a good look to see if there are some who are pleasing to the eyes......¡±
¡°I¡¯ll talk!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to finish, Feng Cang immediately surrendered.
¡°Qing Qing is mine! You¡¯re only allowed to look at me and not allowed to look at others!¡±
¡°Very well! Then tell me, who harmed you like this?!¡±
The thought of Feng Cang¡¯s appearance earlier in the day and all those poisons inside his body, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes turned a bit colder. The one who harmed Feng Cang was so vicious. If they found him, they should stab and cut him a thousand times. Must pay that person, what Feng Cang had to bear, a thousand times, ten thousand times back!
¡°I don¡¯t know about the fetal poison, but the cold poison and the gu poison is like this.¡±
Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi. His gentle voice revealed a coldness.
It turned out that battle at Yandang mountain fifteen years ago, Feng Cang also followed behind his parents. That night, Feng Xie was defeated. The army of Xi Qi entered the city. They killed and robbed. Feng Xie with his wife, under the escort of the eagle troop were about to leave, but they didn¡¯t expect that someone would drug the food on the road and let everyone faint. When Feng Cang opened his eyes, he was in the city, surrounded by a vast sea of fire.
¡°When I woke up once again, I was already in the iceke of Yandang mountain. I was woken up by the bone-piercing cold water of theke. The vines in theke were tied around my feet. I couldn¡¯t move. Five dayster, I was rescued.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very slow. He didn¡¯t describe the tragic fire and didn¡¯t describe the tragic story of the iceke. He only spoke the facts with a peaceful tone.
Murong Qi Qi had heard about the iceke of Yandang mountain. That¡¯s a thousand-years-old cold deep pool. All year round, it¡¯s a bone-piercing cold. Fifteen years ago, Feng Cang was only ten years old. He actually stayed in the iceke for five days and nights! Is this what a child is able to bear?!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi turned and hugged Feng Cang.
¡°Everything is fine now. Everything is in the past! Everything is fine now......¡±
Murong Qi Qi acting like she was coaxing a child, made Feng Cang¡¯s heart warm up.
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s been so many years. I¡¯m already ustomed to it.¡±
¡°Then what about the gu? Who put it in you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Feng Cang shook his head.
¡°Not long after I returned to the capital, I got the gu. The emperor invited the imperial physician toe for treatment. The result was that¡¯s a Motherchild gu. Only after finding the mother gu, can the child gu bepletely gotten rid of. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve searched for so many years, I still don¡¯t know where the mother gu is. Presumably, it¡¯s in the hands of the one who put the gu in me!¡±
After knowing the whole story, Murong Qi Qi frowned.
¡°Wangye, from your story, great general Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue may have notmitted suicide. To be able to get close to your food and drug you, it should be someone close. It¡¯s your own people! It¡¯s just why would your own people do that? Who is the one behind it?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s questions pointed out the key. Feng Cang pinched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose.
¡°Why are you more powerful than the bailiffs? Those who followed my parents that day have all been murdered, aside from the pce maid Cai Hua who followed my mother for twenty years. She disappeared......¡±
It turned out to be like that! Sure enough, it was someone close to them! Murong Qi Qi suddenly realized that there were new questions that confused her: ¡°What about Cai Hua? Has she been caught? Did she confess? Who is the one behind all of this? Why are the rumors telling another story?¡±
Murong Qi Qi threw questions, one after another, at Feng Cang, making him feel a bit overwhelmed.
¡°I also suspect that it is Cai Hua, but I¡¯ve searched for so many years and still haven¡¯t found her. As for why the rumors are like that; it¡¯s because in the burned ruins, they found the bodies of my parents. My father was in a posture ofmitting suicide and my mother had burned to ashes. That¡¯s why they say my father felt guilty towards Bei Zhou andmitted suicide. My mother followed her husband.......¡±
¡°So, it was like that......¡±
Hearing the things that happened that year from Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi could only imagine what kind of horrors it had been. The hands holding Feng Cang held him tighter. There were so many things that had happened which were hidden!
¡°Wangye, didn¡¯t you tell the emperor the matter about your parents? Why don¡¯t you ask the emperor to find the one responsible?¡±
¡°When I came back to the capital, I was seriously ill and had been recuperating in the fu4. By the time I could stand up again, the emperor had already told the world about my parents. No one would believe the words of a ten-years-old. Besides, this is my matter. I want to personally catch the one responsible!¡±
That¡¯s right, ah. At that time, Feng Cang was only ten-years-old! Ten-years-old; he needed to bear the death of both parents and bear the cold poison and gu poison. How much courage did that require, ah?!
¡°Wangye, let the matters of the past go with the wind! From now on, I¡¯ll be at your side and apany you to face all the things!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took the initiative to intertwine their fingers together.
¡°We¡¯ll take revenge for great general and princess Ming Yue together and pull out the one behind all of this!¡±
At this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body distributed a firm light, making Feng Cang be in a daze.
¡°Good!¡±
Feng Cang clenched his hands. His eyes also became firm.......
Yongzhou was located in the south of Bei four states and bordered with Dong Lu, Nan Feng and Xi Qi. Recently, because of the tournament of the four countries, Yongzhou became lively. Early in the morning, Yongzhou¡¯s governor Meng Tian Qi led a group of men to wait at the city gate because today, Nan Lin wang Feng Cang would arrive with Bei Zhou¡¯s missionaries.
After waiting till noon, the entourage finally arrived. Meng Tian Qi went to Feng Cang¡¯s carriage and bowed respectfully: ¡°This humble official greets wangye!¡±
¡°You can stand up!¡±
Across the curtain came the voice of Feng Cang which revealedziness and a trace of majesty, making people unable to resist.
¡°Thanking wangye!¡±
Meng Tian Qi stood up and looked at the carriage carefully.
¡°This humble servant did as wangye ordered and cleaned up Meixiang yuan5 as a temporary residence for wangye and princess Zhao Yang while staying in Yongzhou. Wangye, will you first go to Meixiang yuan or to the government office?¡±
¡°Meixiang yuan.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Meng Tian Qi retreated to one side. Only after the carriage moved further away, did his slightly bent back straighten up.
Meixiang yuan was a very quiet ce. It¡¯s known for its garden full of red plums. This became Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s residence.
The contestants were ced in a house with a courtyard not far away. Without those irksome butterflies, Murong Qi Qi was in a very good mood. These past few days, she had been studying Feng Cang¡¯s disease with Jin Mo. The cold poison was not difficult to treat. Only needed to focus on nursing back to health. It¡¯s just that the gu poison and cold poison were mutually restraining each other in Feng Cang¡¯s body. To cure these two, they could only wait till they find the mother gu. Destroying the mother gu and at the same time removing the gu poison and the cold poison.
As for the fetal poison, it¡¯s what Murong Qi Qi found difficult. Murong Qi Qi had never seen such a fetal poison like the one in Feng Cang¡¯s body before.
At Moyu, she had gotten to know many poisonous creatures and also many poisons. However, she had never seen something like the one in Feng Cang¡¯s body. In the ordinary course of events, godfather collected different kind of poisons from the four countries, Moyu should be thergest poison base in the world. She actually didn¡¯t know what kind of poison that fetal poison was.
¡°Princess, do you have a clue?¡±
These past few days, Jin Mo and Murong Qi Qi moved frequently together. He recognized this little junior sister and also knew that Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t do Feng Cang any harm, so he was much better towards her. However, deep down in his heart, he was still very skeptical about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s abilities.
Only when he got to spend more time with Murong Qi Qi and she revised his prescription and also gave himments about how to improve things, did Jin Mo believe his master¡¯s eyes. He also had gotten to know that this little junior sister did have some real abilities. That¡¯s why, he was more pleasant now towards Murong Qi Qi from the bottom of his heart.
¡°Senior brother, there¡¯s some weirdness with this poison. At least, I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying that was in the expectations of Jin Mo. In the past, when he was at master¡¯s side, he also saw many poisonous things. However, he couldn¡¯t do anything to the fetal poison. He could only try to suppress it.
How would Jin Mo know that Murong Qi Qi spent five years at Moyu and was a master in poisons. Her understanding of poisons was better than him. Since Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t recognize this poison, then it really was a big deal.
¡°There are many remedies from the folk and also many unique poisons. As long as we don¡¯t give up, we¡¯ll find a cure. Princess, don¡¯t have to worry too much......¡±
¡°It¡¯s been hard on senior brother!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t tell Jin Mo her identity as Du Xian Er. Godfather loved poisons more than life. He liked to collect various poisons. Whether it¡¯s from the folks or from the imperial court, as long as it¡¯s rted to poisons, he¡¯ll think of a thousand ways to get it. Moyu¡¯s collection of poisons; if there weren¡¯t a thousand, then there¡¯ll definitely be more than nine hundred.
Following godfather, hearing and watching, Murong Qi Qi inherited everything from him. She knew every poison inside Moyu and also knew how to make the antidote for every one of them. In other words, in the four countries, there were no poisons that¡¯s difficult for Murong Qi Qi. If there was, then that poison didn¡¯te out from the maind!
The maind consists of the four countries: Xi Qi, Bei Zhou, Nan Feng and Dong Lu.
Now, hovering in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind was where exactly did the fetal poison in Feng Cange from. If it really came from a foreign country, did it have anything to do with Peng Lai ind? This Peng Lai ind didn¡¯t have many dealings with the maind. However, it had marriage alliances with Dong Lu. Does this matter also involve Dong Lu?
Even if Murong Qi Qi thought till her head was about to explode, she couldn¡¯t think of where this poison hade from. She could only think of a way with Jin Mo to stabilize Feng Cang¡¯s condition.
Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang living alone together in Meixiang yuan made Wanyan Bao Zhu very jealous. She had seen that Meixiang yuan. A bright red full garden. Very nice to look at. Besides, everywhere had a nice fragrance. Even just passing by, the body would catch a thinyer of plum scent. It¡¯s an excellent ce.
Originally, Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to live in Meixiang yuan. She didn¡¯t expect, the moment she opened her mouth, she was directly rejected by Feng Cang, making her very embarrassed and also hate Murong Qi Qi even more in her heart.
There were still a few days left before the tournament. Seeing that Feng Cang had gone to the venue, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die came to Meixiang yuan to invite Murong Qi Qi out for a stroll in Yongzhou.
Chapter 80 Princess Bao Zhu’s good calculation (2)
Chapter 80 Princess Bao Zhu¡¯s good calction (2)
¡°A stroll?¡±
After hearing Su Mei say that princess hade to invite her, Murong Qi Qi was surprised. She didn¡¯t expect that the two would stay quiet for a few days and were now again not well-behaved. Today, Feng Cang went out of the city to inspect the venue for the tournament of the four countries. The moment he left, the two came over. Really clever.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s so cold. Don¡¯t go out! They are a weasel paying a New Year call to a chicken, with no good intentions!¡±
A weasel is an enemy of the chicken, often attacking and eating them when it is dark. If it pays a courtesy call to a chicken during New Year, it does this not out of kindness or politeness, but with an ulterior motive¡ªto find an opportunity to catch the chicken and eat it up. So, never trust the apparent friendliness of a weasel. In this idiom, the weasel is a metaphor for someone with an evil intention, and the chicken is a metaphor for someone weak and vulnerable. This idiom is used to describe someone pretending to be kind and friendly, but with an evil intention at heart or having an axe to grind.
Su Mei disliked Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die to the extreme. If it wasn¡¯t for the big picture, she would¡¯ve taken action long ago .
¡°Su Mei, do you mean, miss, I, is a chicken?¡±
¡°Eh......,¡± Su Mei suddenly remembered that Murong Qi Qi previously told them the meaning of ¡®chicken¡¯. She immediately waved her hands.
¡°Miss, I only did aparison. You are not a chicken. How could you be a chicken......?¡±
¡°Su Mei, don¡¯t talk anymore!¡±
Su Yue at one side,ughed with a bent back. Su Mei realized that she said a lot of ¡®chicken¡¯ and quickly stopped.
¡°In short, it¡¯s absolutely not a good thing that they came. You should stay in the warm house and shouldn¡¯t lower yourself to their level!¡±
¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I go? Could it be that I¡¯m afraid of them?¡±
Peopleing personally to search for abuse. How would it be alright if she didn¡¯t abuse them a bit? She also didn¡¯t have to worry about much.
¡°Su Yue, bring my cloak. I¡¯ll go meet them!¡±
By the time Murong Qi Qi arrived at the entrance of Meixiang yuan1, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die had almost frozen to death.
When Wanyan Bao Zhu came to make trouble once; wanting to live at Meixiang yuan, she was driven out by Feng Cang. Feng Cang made amand. Aside from Wanyan Kang, anyone else who wanted to enter Meixiang yuan, must let the guards inform first. Thismand directly blocked Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die at the entrance.
Of course, Murong Qi Qi knew about this. So, she dawdled in dressing up for a long time beforeing out. Now seeing Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s and Mu Yu Die¡¯s somewhat ck lips, her mood lightened up.
¡°Yo, letting princess and miss Mu wait for a long time, really sorry!¡±
Although her mouth was apologizing, but Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face didn¡¯t have a trace of guilt, making Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die so angry, they gritted their teeth. However, here was Meixiang yuan, is Feng Cang¡¯s territory. The ce was surrounded with Feng Cang¡¯s guards, how would they dare to use their hands on Murong Qi Qi?
¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing! Let¡¯s go!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu put on a smile uglier than crying. In her heart, she was cursing Murong Qi Qi. Bitch, you wait and see! In a while, you¡¯ll see!
When they were about to enter the carriage, Mu Yu Die saw that behind Murong Qi Qi followed Su Mei, so she immediately said: ¡°Princess is going out with us. We three will chat and walk through the streets a bit. We¡¯ll be back shortly. She doesn¡¯t have to follow! This carriage is small, I and princess Bao Zhu also didn¡¯t bring maids!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Although she doesn¡¯t know what kind of trick the other party was ying, but Murong Qi Qi still nodded and let Su Mei go back.
Inside the carriage, Murong Qi Qi immediately smelled a special fragrance. Ah, soft fragrance powder? Even used such stuff? Really a bit too low!
Soft fragrance powder is a drug usually in the form of a powder and sometimes in other forms like liquid or pills. This drug is able to make the whole body lose all energy. Even lifting a finger would be impossible.
Seeing Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die were pretending that everything was fine, Murong Qi Qi knew they had definitely taken the antidote. Since you want to y, I¡¯ll y very well with you! Murong Qi Qi sat next to the incense burner. Her small hands touched the incense burner and then she retrieved her hands back.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi touch the incense burner, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart almost jumped out. Could it be that she¡¯d guessed there¡¯s something wrong with the incense? Only after Murong Qi Qi retrieved her hands back, did Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s hanging heart calm down.
That¡¯s right, she is just a rubbish. How would she know what soft fragrance powder is? Besides, this was something Chou er2 had bought from a veteran. How would ordinary people know about it?!
Wanyan Bao Zhuughed and felt that she was being oversensitive. Usually, Murong Qi Qi had Feng Cang at her side. Today, she was just a general without an army. She can¡¯t do anything. Why should she (WBZ) be so cautious and afraid of her (MQQ)?
¡°Princess seems very happy!¡±
Murong Qi Qi spoke leisurely. One hand propped up her chin while her eyes swept over Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s smiling face.
¡°No, nothing!¡±
Being seen through by Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Bao Zhu felt somewhat guilty like a thief. She immediately waved her hand and denied.
¡°Just the thought of being able to see the venue a bitter, I feel very happy. In a few days, I¡¯ll bepeting there. I feel a bit excited!¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid that princess is happy to see wangye3!¡±
Mu Yu Die joked at one side. Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face turned red. She looked at Murong Qi Qi and saw that the other party didn¡¯t talk. She then smiled embarrassingly: ¡°Yu Die, what are you saying?! A momentter, when we see Cang gege4, the person who should be happy is princess Zhao Yang!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you say to take a stroll on the streets in Yongzhou city? Why should we go outside the city to the venue?¡±
Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t a fool. These two changed their lines fast. In just a moment, it became outside the city. It appears that outside the city was the critical ce. There must be something waiting for her (MQQ) there!
¡°Originally, I wanted to take a stroll in the city, but suddenly I¡¯m very curious about how the venue looks. You also know that I¡¯m a contestant. By seeing the venue earlier, I can also prepare myself mentally. The chance of winning bes a lot bigger then! By then, when I win, it¡¯s also helping you and Cang gege, yo! If our Bei Zhou gets first ce, then you are Nan Lin wang¡¯s wangfei5, ah!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu had long prepared these lines. Now speaking them out very smoothly, it was also high sounding.
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! I also want to go see the venue. Although I can¡¯t participate in the tournament, but looking is also good! Princess Zhao Yang, can you fulfill this little request of mine? After all, for me, not being able to participate in the tournament of the four countries is a very regrettable thing......¡±
The two coborating, Murong Qi Qi felt that it¡¯s very interesting. Now, Mu Yu Die had a pained face with a pitiful expression and wanting to move Murong Qi Qi, made her (MQQ) almostugh out loudly.
¡°Alright, no problem! Wangye went out early in the morning. Speaking of it, I also quite miss him. You go look at the venue. I¡¯ll go look for wangye! It so happens that I also want to give wangye a surprise. Don¡¯t know what kind of expression wangye will have when he sees me! Really looking forward to it, ah!¡±
How could these two be Murong Qi Qi¡¯s opponents at acting? While talking, Murong Qi Qi intentionally revealed a happy expression, making the two women so angry, they clenched their fists.
What a hateful woman! Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die exchanged nces. The determination to get rid of Murong Qi Qi was now even more pronounced.
Murong Qi Qi pretended to turn a blind eye towards their nce. Just now, she carefully smelled the soft fragrance powder. ording to the form, it must be from Wu Ji Gong. Just a jealousy between women, didn¡¯t expect that it would also involve Wu Ji Gong. The way Murong Qi Qi looked at Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die became a lot more different.
It¡¯s just, don¡¯t know how they got in contact with Wu Ji Gong. Or, there¡¯s another person......But no matter what, today these two women began first. Then if she became ruthlesster, she can¡¯t be med for being merciless!
The carriage went out of the city gate. Slowly, it drove onto the snow. Murong Qi Qi pushed aside the curtain and looked back once. This was the west gate. The venue was clearly at the east gate. It seemed that she had guessed correctly.
In her heart, Murong Qi Qi knew very well, but she didn¡¯t make a sound. Her small face was blushing. After each road, she¡¯ll ask the driver when she could see wangye.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi like that, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die revealed a sneer. Let you be proud for a little while longer. When we arrive at that ce, then we¡¯ll let you cry out to the heavens, but the heavens don¡¯t respond. Cry out to the earth, but the earth is impervious!
Cry out to the heavens, but the heavens don¡¯t respond. Cry out to the earth, but the earth is impervious: to be without aid.
Further and further away, they travelled from the west gate. When they could no longer to see Yongzhou city, the sound of many hooves were suddenly heard.
¡°Stop! Robbery!¡±
When the driver saw such a scene, he immediately panicked. He stopped the carriage and knelt in front of the group of people.
¡°Heroes, I, I¡¯m just a driver. I don¡¯t have anything. Please let me go!¡±
¡°Get lost,¡± a man shouted. The driver ran and rolled in the direction from where he came. He didn¡¯t expect that after he ran for four or five meters, the man would throw a sword at him and directly cut off the driver¡¯s head. The head fell onto the ground and rolled a few times, leaving a trace of warm blood still emitting gas.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
The people around the manughed exaggeratedly, as if seeing blood was a thing that made them very excited.
¡°Killed someone!¡±
Although this was her own arrangement, but seeing the head of the driver rolling on the ground was beyond her expectations, making Wanyan Bao Zhu surprised with a trace of being scared. Why wasn¡¯t it the same like what Chou er said? Obviously, they were only nning on going against Murong Qi Qi. Why did they kill her driver?
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to understand the matter, the curtain was opened by a sword. A face with a scar made by a sword appeared in front of the three people.
¡°Yo, it¡¯s three chickens!¡±
The man with the scar wiped away the snow on the bottom of his mustache and grinned, revealing a white tooth.
¡°Brothers, today we¡¯ve a good harvest. We¡¯ll get to eat meat!¡±
¡°Oh! Oh!¡±
The moment the men outside the carriage heard that there¡¯s women, they all shouted excitedly.
¡°What do we do?¡±
Mu Yu Die saw the hungry look of those men, she was dumbfounded and immediately looked at Wanyan Bao Zhu. Why was this not the same as what they had talked about before? Didn¡¯t they contact the killers of Wu Ji Gong? Howe it became a group of bandits?
¡°Get off the carriage! Get off the carriage! Don¡¯t dillydally!¡±
The man with the scar cut the carriage with the sword.
¡°Still not getting off the carriage? Could it be that you want me to go invite you?!¡±
¡°You, you guys get down first......,¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s voice began to tremble. Seeing her appearance like that, Murong Qi Qi chuckled loudly. She straightened her clothes and carefully went off the carriage.
¡°Boss, it¡¯s really a chick! It¡¯s a good chick!¡±
A short man saw Murong Qi Qi, he immediately shouted.
¡°Boss, the way that chick gets down the carriage looks very nice! Could she be ady?¡±
¡°Look at your unpromising appearance!¡±
The man with the scar spat on the ground and nced once at the small and exquisite Murong Qi Qi. Then he looked at Mu Yu Die.
¡°Hurry up, hurry up. Why do you dawdle so much? Could it be that you are waiting for someone toe save you?¡±
Mu Yu Die get down the carriage very reluctantly. Her palms were full of sweat. She was very afraid. She really didn¡¯t know why Murong Qi Qi could be so calm.
¡°Boss, this chick is also alright. Only, she is a bit old and too cocky. I still like that miss of just now better!¡±
The one who talked, was still that short man of just now. An ¡®old¡¯ made Mu Yu Die¡¯s expression sank. Does she really look very old? Otherwise, why would that shorty say that? She obviously looks more beautiful than Murong Qi Qi, why do these men like Murong Qi Qi more?
But this way also let Mu Yu Die feel relieved. The bandits taking a fancy to Murong Qi Qi, it¡¯ll be best if they kidnapped her and made her the wife of bandits, so no one would fight with her over Feng Cang anymore!
While Mu Yu Die was secretly being happy about the bandits taking a fancy to Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Bao Zhu dawdled in the carriage for a long time beforeing down. Finally, when the man with the scar wasn¡¯t paying attention, Wanyan Bao Zhu cut down the rope binding the horse with a knife. She turned and got on the horse. Her legs clipped on the horse¡¯s belly. While pping the horse butt, with a ¡®jia¡¯ sound, the horse rushed out like wind.
¡°Yo, want to run?¡±
The man with the scarughed. His eyes showed disdain for Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s little trick. Then, he took out a long rope, and riding a horse, chased after her.
This man was an excellent equestrian. Didn¡¯t take long before he caught up with Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Rise!¡±
The man swung the rope in his hands. The rope formed a big circle and wrapped around Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Go!¡±
The man with the scar suddenly pulled, dragging Wanyan Bao Zhu down. She fell onto the snow.
¡°Presumptuous! Let me go! I¡¯m princess Bao Zhu! Don¡¯t you want to live anymore?! Let me go!¡±
From birth till now, this was the first time Wanyan Bao Zhu was in such a sorry state. She¡¯s actually being dragged in the snow. She is the noble princess. When has she received such treatment?!
¡°Bastard! Let me go! I¡¯m a princess! You this bastard! Bengong6 will execute your nine generations! Bastard!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s voice was very loud. Although they were separated by some distance, but the wind still brought her voice over.
¡°Boss, that chick is very shrew. Really suits you!¡±
The shorty shouted at this side. Murong Qi Qi chuckled softly. She felt that this scene was very funny. Didn¡¯t Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to y a trick on her, why did it be like this?
The man with the scar didn¡¯t care if Wanyan Bao Zhu was a princess or something else. He tied the rope and pulled her up from the snow without any tender or protective feelings for the fairer sex.
¡°Princess, is everything alright?!¡±
When the man with the scar was in front of them, Mu Yu Die rushed to Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s side and helped her remove the rope.
¡°Princess, princess!¡±
¡°Gegege!¡±
All the way, Wanyan Bao Zhu had been facing the ground and ate a lot of dirty snow. The skin on her face was also broken because of the rubbing. At this time, the usual face had disappeared. Where was there a trace of the number one beauty of Bei Zhou? She was like a just-pulled-out bright red radish!
¡°Big brother, this chick is too ugly! Really an ugly thing,¡± the shorty once again shouted. I don¡¯t like such an ugly shrew. It¡¯s better to sell her to a low-grade brothel! Brothers, what do you think?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
The bandits shouted and raised their swords.
¡°We don¡¯t want the ugly and old women! We only want the young miss to be our bandit¡¯s wife!¡±
¡°You, bastards! Bengong is a princess! You, this group of bastards! Bengong wants to kill you!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to urge her inner energy to kill these people. She was a fourth level martial artist. Soon, she would enter level five. As long as she could push out her inner energy, she could easily kill these bastards! Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s idea was good, but when she urged her inner energy, she found out that her whole body was soft. She didn¡¯t have the slightest strength.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s useless!¡±
Mu Yu Die shook her head while smiling bitterly. Just now, when she went down the carriage, she wanted to use the same way to protect herself, she didn¡¯t expect that she wouldn¡¯t be able to use it.
¡°Why is it like this?¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu was startled. Didn¡¯t they take the antidote? Could it be that Chou er lied to her? Who is that woman? Damn it! She actually has been fooled! Why is it like this?!
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face was like a te full of pigments. Very colorful. There were more dark colors. From Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face, Mu Yu Die already guessed the reason. Her expression immediately changed. The men obviously looked like people not to be trifled with. Now, they didn¡¯t even have the strength to truss a chicken, how would they escape?
¡°Princess, why is it not the same as what you had told me?¡±
Mu Yu Die tried her best to calm down.
¡°Bengong also don¡¯t know!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu gritted her teeth and red once fiercely at Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s all because of that woman. That woman made her be impatient and be fooled! Everything was because of her!
¡°Heroes, we are just weak women and don¡¯t have any ties or hate with you. Asking you to please let us go!¡±
Mu Yu Die raised her head and looked at the man with the scar. This man was the leader of these bandits. As long as she could move him, they would be saved.
¡°If you came because of money, we¡¯ve some. Besides in Yongzhou, we also have money. I can go back to take money for you!¡±
¡°Money?¡±
Hearing Mu Yu Die mention money, the man with the scar pondered for a moment.
¡°You guys go back to take some money? If youe back with officers and not money, then what? No, no, this won¡¯t do!¡±
¡°You can leave a hostage here, ah! With a hostage, you won¡¯t be afraid that we¡¯ll go back on our words!¡±
Mu Yu Die immediately seized the opportunity and strongly tempted the man with the scar.
¡°She is princess Zhao Yang, the one who Xi Qi has sent for a marriage alliance and is Nan Lin wang¡¯s wangfei. Nan Lin wang favors her the most. As long as you keep her, Nan Lin wang will certainlye with a lot of money to redeem her! It¡¯s the truth!¡±
Mu Yu Die pushed Murong Qi Qi till she was in front of the man with the scar.
¡°Nan Lin wang is in Yongzhou. Feng Cang will certainly give you money!¡±
The man with the scar seemed very interested in what Mu Yu Die had said. He looked at Murong Qi Qi from head to toe for a long time. In the end, he nodded.
¡°She does have some air of princess. She¡¯s much stronger than that ugly woman!¡±
Hearing the man with the scar talking like this about her, Wanyan Bao Zhu wished she could go forward and give him a p in the face, but she was grabbed tightly by Mu Yu Die.
¡°Princess, if you don¡¯t endure the small things, you will spoil the big thing!¡±
Although, she had been pulled into a pit today by Wanyan Bao Zhu, but her emperor father was her grandfather¡¯s biggest head. Between Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Bao Zhu, Mu Yu Die of course will save Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Only after hearing Mu Yu Die say that, did Wanyan Bao Zhu stop. She didn¡¯t say anything. She only swept her eyes once again at Murong Qi Qi. Her gaze was like daggers.
¡°You guys won¡¯t lie, right?!¡±
The man with the scar touched his moustache and circled once around Murong Qi Qi.
¡°She being a hostage really is not bad. It¡¯s just, why should I believe you? The saying is that a woman¡¯s heart is like a needle in the sea. In case Feng Cang came with soldiers to encircle us, what then?¡±
Seeing that the man with the scar still didn¡¯t want to let her go, Mu Yu Die gritted her teeth. She took out her personal jade pendant.
¡°This is my jade pendant. I¡¯m the eldest miss of the xiangfu7. If I breach my words, you can take my jade pendant to nder my reputation!¡±
In order to survive, Mu Yu Die could only take this step. In this era, a jade pendant was a personal item and couldn¡¯t be shown to people easily. If given to a man, it meant that they had set their love. Now, Mu Yu even took out her jade pendant, it appears that she really was eager to leave here.
¡°Mu Yu Die? Good name!¡±
The man with the scar hooked Mu Yu Die¡¯s pendant and brought it in front of him. He looked at the words on the pendant and read them out. He put it on his nose and sniffed.
¡°En, smells good, ah!¡±
¡°Hahaha! Boss, what kind of smell does it has? Let me also smell it!¡±
The shorty shouted again, while the others were booing.
The scarred man¡¯s frivolous appearance made Mu Yu Die blush. That had been something she wore closely. Now, it¡¯s being treated so disrespectfully, Mu Yu Die really wanted to kill him!
¡°Where is yours?!¡±
The man with the scar put away the jade pendant and looked at Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Leave the person or leave the keepsake!¡±
Although unwilling, but since there was no other way, Wanyan Bao Zhu could only take out her princess¡¯s jade seal.
¡°This is bengong¡¯s seal. It can be used as a certificate!¡±
¡°Wanyan Bao Zhu......¡±
The man with the scar looked for a long time at the phoenix carved jade.
¡°Zeze, didn¡¯t expect that you really are a princess! Alright, this thing is not bad! I will keep it!
¡°Then we can leave?!¡±
Hearing the scarred man that, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die asked eagerly.
¡°People, bring two horses for princess Bao Zhu and miss Yu Die!¡±
The man with the scar gestured with his hand. Immediately, someone led two horses over and threw the ropes at Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die.
¡°The two of you better remember your promise! Three dayters, I want to see ten thousand golden teals here, otherwise this princess Zhao Yang¡¯s life may not be guaranteed!¡±
¡°Yes! We know. We know!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die climbed onto their horses. On their mouths hung a sneer. They wished Murong Qi Qi could die. Why would theye back with the ransom?!
Murong Qi Qi, go to hell! Wanyan Bao Zhu looked at Murong Qi Qi mercilessly for onest time. She whipped once and rushed back to Yongzhou.
Chapter 81 The out of control Nan Lin Wang (1)
Chapter 81 The out of control Nan Lin Wang (1)
Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Dei galloped away on their horses. They didn¡¯t even turn back their heads, fearing that the man with the scar may regret his actions and bring them back.
When the two were far away, the man with the scar and the others dismounted their horses. They came to Murong Qi Qi and bowed respectfully.
¡°Miss!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Murong Qi Qi turned and swept her eyes over these serious faces, one by one. Then sheughed.
¡°Brothers, long time no see! Looks like you are in great spirits!¡±
¡°Heihei, miss, we¡¯re all very good. We just miss you!¡±
The shorty touched his head andughed,
¡°Su Mei sent a letter and said there are people who want to harm you. We rushed over. Miss, you won¡¯t me us for being meddlesome, right?!¡±
¡°How would I?! You came at the right time!¡±
The man with the scar led a horse to Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi mounted the horse. She changed from the weak appearance to a formidable and valiant look.
¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s get those two bitches back!¡±
On the road, Murong Qi Qi found out that when she had left, Su Mei had been following them. Later, she sent a pigeon with a letter to the man with the scar which resulted in them waiting here.
¡°Tie Xue, you said you encountered Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat surprised. She also told the man with the scar about Wu Ji Gong¡¯s soft fragrance powder.
¡°Then where are Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people? Where did you bring them to?¡±
¡°Killed.¡±
The man with the scarughed.
¡°They are just some disdainful things. Killed them to avoid them dirtying miss¡¯s eyes!¡±
¡°Not bad! We can push this matter onto Wu Ji Gong¡¯s head!¡±
Not long after, Murong Qi Qi and the others caught up with Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die. When the two saw that the man with the scar had chased after them, they were very scared.
¡°What do you want to do? Didn¡¯t you say that you will let us go? Why do you go back on your words now?¡±
¡°I indeed wanted to let you guys go, but my family¡¯s miss is unwilling.¡±
The men opened a road. Murong Qi Qi riding a horse, went to Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die.
¡°The two of you run really slow, ah!¡±
¡°You! It¡¯s you!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu was very surprised. After the surprise, came the anger.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, you actually colluded with bandits and wanted to plot against bengong1!¡±
¡°Zezeze!¡±
Murong Qi Qi gently pped.
¡°Thief calling thief. Princess¡¯s ability to bite is very good, ah! If it wasn¡¯t because you deliberately took me out of the city and also used soft fragrance powder in the incense, I¡¯ll also wouldn¡¯t think of a way to deal with you. Now, you¡¯re saying that I plotted against princess; then if I don¡¯t kill you, then wouldn¡¯t I let your good intentions go to waste?!¡±
¡°You, you dare......¡±
¡®Shua......¡¯
The right hand Wanyan Bao Zhu used to point at Murong Qi Qi was cut off by the shorty.
¡°Presumptuous! Dared to be rude to miss!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu felt so much pain that she rolled onto the ground. Blood sshed onto the white snow. Red bright stars, very beautiful, but after a moment, they were frozen by the cold weather.
Mu Yu Die was nowpletely scared. She didn¡¯t know what to say. She could only stare nkly at Murong Qi Qi. Below, something warm rolled down and wet her pants. Miss, what kind of miss? What rtion does Murong Qi Qi have with these people? What¡¯s going on?
¡°Say, where did the soft fragrance powdere from? Who contacted those people from Wu Ji Gong?¡±
Murong Qi Qi dismounted the horse. Stepping onto the snow, she came towards Wanyan Bao Zhu. The whip in her hand gently hit the ground, sshing a few pieces of snow which flew to Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face, making her numb because of the cold.
¡°Chou, Chou er2......¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu felt very painful, but this cold weather kept her mind awake, making her unable to faint.
¡°Chou er?¡±
Murong Qi Qi frowned. She remembered this time, there was indeed a woman who followed behind Wanyan Bao Zhu. It¡¯s just that woman was covered with a veil and she didn¡¯t care. But now, thinking about it, that Chou er definitely was strange. Could it be this Chou er was one of Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people? But Wu Ji Gong don¡¯t know that she¡¯s Du Xian Er. If they knew, they would have anxiously turned their backs and run, how would theye and search for trouble? It seems that there are some secrets that aren¡¯t known yet.
¡°Got it.¡±
Murong Qi Qi turned. A scream could be heard. The man with the scar had already gotten rid of Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t kill me. I don¡¯t, I don¡¯t know anything......¡±
Witnessing Wanyan Bao Zhu being killed by the man with the scar, Mu Yu Die was so scared that she slid off the horse and sat paralyzed on the ground. Her voice trembled and her teeth ttered against each other, making ¡®gege¡¯ sounds.
¡°I, I really don¡¯t know anything. Everything was done by princess, it¡¯s not me......¡±
¡°Miss Mu!¡±
Murong Qi Qi squatted in front of Mu Yu Die. Seeing the smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Mu Yu Die backed two steps away. Her eyes were full of fear.
¡°It¡¯s really not me. It has nothing to do with me! Princess said I only needed to be a witness....... Don¡¯t kill me.¡±
¡°Witness?¡±
Hearing this word, Murong Qi Qi immediately got an idea. The next moment, a ne with a heart-shaped pendant appeared in her hand.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Look at it and forget everything that had just happened. You don¡¯t know anything. Don¡¯t know anything.......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know anything,¡± Mu Yu Die obediently followed what Murong Qi Qi said. She stared at the pendant and slowly repeated the words Murong Qi Qi said. Her eyes slowly became lifeless.
¡°Don¡¯t know anything. I don¡¯t know anything......¡±
After Mu Yu Die copsed, Murong Qi Qi retrieved her hand and mounted the horse.
¡°Tie Xue, leave some people to clean up here. Don¡¯t let people find out anything. Bring them to the side of those corpses of Wu Ji Gong. This is done by Wu Ji Gong. It has nothing to do with us.¡±
¡°Miss, why did you leave that bitch¡¯s life? She¡¯s also an aplice! Anyone who deals against miss deserves to die!¡±
On the vast snow, Murong Qi Qi was riding a horse at the front. Beside her followed the man with the scar. Behind them followed that group of people. The man with the scar was somewhat unhappy about Murong Qi Qi letting Mu Yu Die off the hook. From his point of view, the ones who offended miss, their fate could only be death. Letting Mu Yu Die go, she got off the hook too easy!
¡°Tie Xue, killing people won¡¯t solve the problem.¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled. ¡°Sometimes, living can be more painful than death for some people. Besides, saving one¡¯s life will enable you to build the seven-floor pagoda. This miss is kind hearted. Sparing her means amassing good fortune......¡±
In ancient china, it¡¯s believed that if you lived with a kind heart, you will be able to build more floors of the pagoda
¡°Miss, don¡¯t scare us! If you are kind-hearted, then wouldn¡¯t our Moyu be a Buddha to release all living creatures from suffering?¡±
The shorty¡¯s voice came from behind, making the group of peopleugh.
They had lived together for five years. How would these people not understand Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ways! Murong Qi Qi left Mu Yu Die alive, presumably because she had another use! The shorty pitied Mu Yu Die from the bottom of his heart. Being left alive by miss is not her blessing. It¡¯s her fate!
¡°Talkative!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked back. The whip knocked the shorty¡¯s head.
¡°Fang Jing, did you do the things I ordered you to do, done? Where did you chose to be the world¡¯s number one ce of business?¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi ask about this thing, the shorty immediately let his horse catch up with Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss, I found a fengshui treasured ground. That ground is really good! The ce is surrounded by three cliffs, with only one road to go up! As long as we upy the ground, even if people want to attack us, they would be unable to go up!¡±
Fengshui: is a Chinese philosophical of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment¡ªfrom Wikipedia
The ce the shorty was talking about was called Wind Chase Cliff. These cliffs towered till the clouds. Only a small road to go up. All three sides had a cliff. Under the cliff was the raging Nu river. It¡¯s a good ce. Before, when Murong Qi Qi looked at the map, she also took a fancy to Wind Chase Cliff. She didn¡¯t expect that the shorty and her would have the exact same thought.
Seeing that the shorty was so confident, Murong Qi Qi sincerely wanted to make things difficult for him.
¡°Ah, if there¡¯s a really able person who was able to go up with his martial arts, by then do you want us jump off the cliff and be buried in the Nu river?¡±
¡°Miss, you saying those words, is like not believing me! With my ability, not even a half year, I absolutely can make a secret road out! By then, we won¡¯t be afraid of anything! Really, miss, I didn¡¯t lie!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi talk like that, the shorty became anxious. He immediately exined his design.
¡°Should I sketch the design out for miss to take a look?! I didn¡¯t brag!¡±
¡°Alright! I was teasing you!¡±
Seeing the shorty being angry till his face became red, Murong Qi Qiughed out loud.
¡°You, Fang Jing handling the affairs, of course I¡¯m at ease. But I want to take a look at the design. After all, this ce will be the base of our Moyu in the future. I can¡¯t take brother¡¯s life as a joke!¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying ¡®brother¡¯ repeatedly, made these people very moved. Beside fighting and killing, they didn¡¯t know anything else. Since miss came, these people slowly began to have a backbone. They know miss is good towards them, so they are very loyal towards Murong Qi Qi.
¡°But......,¡± hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, the shorty was very happy, but his expression showed some hesitation.
¡°But what?¡±
Seeing the shorty being so reluctant, Murong Qi Qi reined her horse.
¡°Say it!¡±
¡°Yes! Miss, Wind Chase Cliff is a ce of Fu Sheng Men. Before, I wanted to buy it, they didn¡¯t want to sell. They said what they have is money!¡±
Fu Sheng Men is a ¡®good¡¯ sect.
Mentioning the people of Fu Sheng Men, the shorty got angry.
¡°They said such a matter, we need to find the head of their sect. Who doesn¡¯t know that the head of Fu Sheng Men, Long Ao Tian, is like a ghost. We searched for a long time and still didn¡¯t find that bastard!¡±
Fu Sheng Men, the organization in this maind which made people change color whenever they hear about it. No one knew where the disciples of Fu Sheng Men were. Also, no one knew who the head of Fu Sheng Men was. Everyone knew that in this ck world, Fu Sheng Men was the emperor.
Assassinating with poison, no one was better at it than Moyu. However, Moyu had always been not much trouble. Moyu¡¯s sir Mozun was also only obsessed with poisonous things. He had never involved himself in other matters and was water from the well doesn¡¯t bother with water from the river with the other sects. Moyu could be considered one of the oldest surviving sects in this ck world.
Water from the well doesn¡¯t bother with water from the river: everyone minds their own business.
Fu Sheng Men was the contrary of Moyu. Fu Sheng Men was established ten years ago. Within only five years¡¯ time, it eliminated the ck world, annexedrge and small sects and became the boss of the underground kingdom.
It¡¯s said that Long Ao Tian¡¯s ways were ruthless; that no one couldpare. Before, when annexing the other sects, as he met with rebels, he¡¯d kill all without mercy. However, he was also a very capable person. He created Fu Sheng Men. In a short time, he brought Fu Sheng Men to such a great height. Their power was extraordinary.
However, Fu Sheng Men and Moyu didn¡¯t have any conflicts of interest. Plus, sir Mozun once helped out Fu Sheng Men when it was in trouble. So, Long Ao Tian also remembered this kindness. Both sides were at peace.
Now, seeing the shorty¡¯s expression, Murong Qi Qiughed. Fang Jing was pretty good at everything. Especially at manufacturing, he was a genius. There¡¯s just one bad thing. He had a really bad temper. He couldpete with Su Mei at that.
¡°Miss, why are you smiling? Wind Chasing Cliff really is a good fengshui ce. I can bring you to take a look! I did ording to miss and traveled to the sixteen states. I only took a fancy to such a ce! Using this ce to build the world¡¯s first ce of business is really too good.¡±
¡°Fang Jing, since we can¡¯t buy it with money, then we¡¯ll snatch it.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned serious.
¡°If they don¡¯t give, then rob it!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were like a bandit¡¯s, making everyone surprised for a moment.
¡°Miss, do you mean what you said? Really rob it?¡±
The shorty didn¡¯t believe it and asked one more question: ¡°That¡¯s Fu Sheng Men¡¯s territory! Going head on? This is really good, ah! I didn¡¯t take action for a long time! My hands are really itching. Really don¡¯t know if it¡¯s Fu Sheng Men who is more powerful or if it¡¯s us who is more powerful......¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯
Not waiting for the shorty to finish, the whip in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands once againnded on the shorty¡¯s head.
¡°Only knows fighting and killing. How many times have I told you, when the problem can be solved with brains, then don¡¯t use the hands! Also, people should have self-confidence. It¡¯s of course, our Moyu who is one level higher. Could it be that this miss can¡¯t bepared to Long Ao Tian?!¡±
¡°Yes! Yes! It¡¯s I who said the wrong thing! With miss here, why bother who he is? Everyone will be side dishes!¡±
The shorty suffered defeat. Heughed twice and touched his head.
¡°However, what should we do? Miss, there are already movements in Nan Feng country. Not even a month¡¯s time, Ming Yue Cheng will aplish his mission. We did business in the sixteen states, we must have a ce to build our roots, ah!¡±
¡°Under the whole heaven, every spot is the sovereign¡¯s ground. To the borders of thend, every individual is the sovereign¡¯s minister. Didn¡¯t you say this ce is within Yongzhou? This Yongzhou is Bei Zhou¡¯s territory. I don¡¯t believe Fu Sheng Men can go against the imperial power! Leave this matter to me!¡±
Under the whole heaven, every spot is the sovereign¡¯s ground. To the borders of thend, every individual is the sovereign¡¯s minister: All thends and people belong to the emperor.
Murong Qi Qi said that, the man with the scar and shorty understood. Murong Qi Qi will use Feng Cang as a way out.
¡°Miss, no! We can¡¯t sacrifice you because of this matter! Feng Cang that sicko is not good enough for miss. I won¡¯t let miss sacrifice your sex appeal!¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯
The shorty received one more whip on the head. The two times before, it only made his head itchy. This time, Murong Qi Qi used a third of her power, making the shorty jump while clutching his head.
¡°Miss, what I said is the truth. You want to seduce Feng Cang. We all object!¡±
¡°Pei!¡±
Seeing the shorty bring out the words she usually said, such as ¡®seduce¡¯, Murong Qi Qi said a ¡®pei¡¯.
¡°Do I look like such people? Fang Jing, what kind of mess is your head thinking about all day? Could it be that after you got over adolescence, your heart is beginning to stir? Do you want me to search a wife for you to let her console you the whole night?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words amused everyone, making themugh. Feng Jing quickly waved his hand. His face was red like a tomato.
¡°No, don¡¯t need! I didn¡¯t mean it like that! I don¡¯t want women!¡±
Afterughing, Tie Xue said: ¡°Miss, do you want to start from Nan Lin wang?3 There is a way. The Bei four states are Nan Lin wang¡¯s fief. As long as he nods, this way is possible. It¡¯s just, we don¡¯t know if Nan Lin wang and Fu Sheng Men have any kind of rtion with each other. Why does Long Ao Tian have territory in the Bei four states?¡±
After the man with the scar said that, Murong Qi Qi thought for a long time. If Feng Cang does indeed have some kind of rtionship with Long Ao Tian, then will he continue the friendship with Long Ao Tian or will he take her side? In this short time, Feng Cang was that good to her. This matter would be a good test.
Men, if they truly loved a woman, they would not wait to dig their hearts and lungs out for her. Not to mention those mere possessions! A man not willing to spend money on a woman was not a good man. Equally, a man who didn¡¯t make a woman¡¯s wishe true was also not a good man. When loving a person, you needed to fulfill all her requirements and not only talk emptily about love. Is that not a thankless wretch?!
¡°I¡¯ll go try. If it really can¡¯t be done, then let¡¯s snatch it! I¡¯ve taken a fancy to Wind Chase Cliff. Our world¡¯s best ce of business must be built there!¡±
When saying those words, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude was very firm. Even Tie Xue and Fang Jing were shocked and in awe of their miss¡¯s powerful aura. This is their Moyu¡¯s miss. This is their head! Need this kind of aura! Tie Xue and Fang Jing exchanged a smile.
On the other side, when Zhao Lang and Chou er arrived, the blood on the ground had been frozen. Seeing those bodies of his underlings, Zhao Lang expression changed. He reached out to explore. All ten people didn¡¯t have breath.
¡°How? Did they all die? Who did it?¡±
Chou er clutched her mouth and looked at the bloody ice. She didn¡¯t expect that the result would be like this.
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±
Zhao Lang¡¯s face became sullen. Suddenly, he saw Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die at one side. He immediately approached and inspected. He found out that Mu Yu Die had fainted and Wanyan Bao Zhu had not only broken her right hand, but her death was extremely tragic.
Chapter 82 The out of control Nan Lin Wang (2)
Chapter 82 The out of control Nan Lin Wang (2)
¡°Wake up! Wake up!¡±
Chou er1 shook Mu Yu Die till she woke up.
¡°What has happened? Why are they all dead?¡±
¡°Princess, save me! Princess, save me!¡±
Seeing Chou er, who was dressed like Wanyan Bao Zhu, Mu Yu Die tightly held onto her arm.
¡°Princess, many people have died. Let¡¯s leave quickly. Let¡¯s get away from here. Princess, let¡¯s leave quickly!¡±
Seeing Mu Yu Die¡¯s silly appearance, Chou er shook her head at Zhao Lang. It seemed that they won¡¯t be getting anything out of Mu Yu Die. Now, what she wanted to know the most were: Where did Murong Qi Qi go? And why are these people dead?
¡°Princess, save me! Very scary! Princess, save me!¡±
Mu Yu Die held onto Chou er¡¯s arm and didn¡¯t want to let go. Zhao Lang walked over and hit Mu Yu Die at her neck. She immediately fainted.
¡°Zhao Lang, why did the situation be like this? Didn¡¯t we use the soft fragrance powder? How did Murong Qi Qi escape? What do we do now?! If Feng Canges here, we¡¯re finished!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Chou er¡¯s nagging made Zhao Langpletely angry. He grabbed her shoulder and red into her eyes.
¡°Tell me, does Murong Qi Qi know martial arts? Also, did you really put the soft fragrance powder in the incense burner? Did you really give them the antidote? Why does Mu Yu Die¡¯s body have signs of being drugged by the soft fragrance powder?¡±
Seeing that Zhao Lang didn¡¯t believe her, Chou er almost cried.
¡°I did everything exactly how you told me to do them! I personally put the soft fragrance powder into the incense burner. I also personally watched princess and Mu Yu Die take the antidote. There shouldn¡¯t have been anything that went wrong! As for Murong Qi Qi, everyone knows she¡¯s a rubbish. How can a rubbish have martial arts? I also don¡¯t know how it became like this, ah!¡±
Chou er¡¯s eyes were red. She almost cried loudly. Obviously, they had calcted Murong Qi Qi. All the arrangements were in ce. Why did the result be like this?
Simrly, Zhao Lang¡¯s mood was also very bad. Losing ten underlings at once and they were killed with one stroke, it seemed that they had encountered a high level martial artist. Zhao Lang¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but get a chill. Could this have been done by his enemies? But this doesn¡¯t make sense! Who was it?!
Chou er stood next to Zhao Lang while biting her lips. Originally, she wanted toe here to see the tragic state of Murong Qi Qi, but now she saw such a scene. At the scene, there weren¡¯t many traces left. Before dying, what did the people on the ground experience?
¡°You let me hide at the princess¡¯s. Now, princess is gone. Yong er knows that I nned all of this. I definitely can¡¯t go back. Zhao Lang, take me away! Seeing so many people have died, I¡¯m very scared!¡±
Chou er suddenly hugged Zhao Lang from behind. Her face rested on his wide back, wanting to seek a trace of warmth. She didn¡¯t expect Zhao Lang to turn around and grab her shoulder.
¡°Xin er, now you and I can¡¯t go away yet. The task his highness the crown prince gave us, isn¡¯t finished yet. If we go away without care, his highness the crown prince will not let us off the hook. By then, we¡¯ll be facing the fate of being wanted and being chased by assassins. Our whole life, we won¡¯t be safe!¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as I can be with you, no matter what kind of life we¡¯ll be having, I¡¯m willing.¡±
Chou er simply flew into Zhao Lang¡¯s embrace. Listening to the beating of his strong heart, her anxious heart calmed down a lot.
¡°Zhao Lang, take me away! These dead people make me very afraid! As long as you let me stay by your side, even if we wander to the horizons, I¡¯m willing!¡±
¡°Xin er, you¡¯re very good!¡±
Zhao Lang hugged Chou er tightly, using his heat to warm her. His voice was very emotional and very gentle.
¡°Silly Xin er, you¡¯re willing to follow me, but I¡¯m not willing, ah! I¡¯m not willing to let the woman I love suffer. I also don¡¯t want my Xin er to follow me at roaming and being a wanderer.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve rough skin and thick meat. It doesn¡¯t matter if I live hard days. However, Xin er, you can¡¯t, ah! You¡¯re the goddess of my heart, the woman I love the most, how can I let you suffer?! Xin er, do you know, from the first time I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. At that time, I swore in my heart that I¡¯ll definitely protect you, love you and not let you suffer any grievances!¡±
¡°Xin er, my Xin er, ah. How would I be willing to let you suffer and have difficulties......¡±
Must say, Zhao Lang was a master at talking about love. He spoke those mncholic and moving words, making Chou er¡¯s eyes be full with tears of happiness.
¡°Zhao Lang, you¡¯re very good to me! Never has someone ever treated me like this! For you, I¡¯m even willing to die!¡±
¡°Silly Xin er......¡±
Zhao Lang¡¯s thick lips fell onto Chou er¡¯s cheek, letting her falling tears go into his mouth.
¡°Silly, in the future, don¡¯t talk about foolish things like death anymore! Could it be you have the heart to leave me alone in this lonely world, living a lonely life? My silly Xin er! I still have to marry you and let you give birth to our children. Don¡¯t say such silly words anymore!¡±
Women, no matter if they¡¯re wise, astute or intelligent and sly; no matter if they¡¯re good and simple-minded or vicious and ruthless, as long as they fell into the strange circle of love, they would lose themselves.
Like Chou er, a few sweet words from Zhao Lang, she has long forgotten those scary bloody things. She also forgot her name and who she was. Now, in her eyes, in her heart, there¡¯s only this one man, Zhao Lang, as if all the other men on earth have died. Only this man is the best. Shepletely belongs to him!
Zhao Lang¡¯s words of love were like a drug, making Chou er lose her reasoning and also let her heart give birth to guilt. She had injured her body. How would she be able to give birth to children?! This man was so good to her and also wanted to give her a bright future. If she doesn¡¯t confess, then she really wouldn¡¯t be able to cross this bridge in her heart.
¡°Zhao Lang, I have one thing that I didn¡¯t tell you!¡±
Chou er raised her head slowly. With tears in her eyes, she looked at this man in front of her.
¡°I can¡¯t give birth. Before, I had a miscarriage. The imperial physician said, I¡¯m not able to have any more children......¡±
Chou er felt uneasy. She knew that men were traditional and wanted to continue their line. She can¡¯t give birth; would Zhao Lang still love her? If Zhao Lang abandoned her because of this, what should she do?!
While Chou er was fearful, Zhao Lang used a more enthusiastic embrace to give her the greatest sense of security.
¡°Xin er, my pitiful Xin er. It doesn¡¯t matter if we don¡¯t have children. I only want you. I don¡¯t want children. Besides, I can go search for doctors with you. You¡¯re so good, the heaven will certainly not be willing to let you suffer. It will definitely give us a lovely child!¡±
¡°Wa......¡±
Now, the strings of tension inside Chou er¡¯s heartpletely broke. That high line of defense, because of this mitment¡¯,pletely copsed.
¡°Wuwuwu......I was very scared just now......wuwuwu......I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t want me anymore because of this......wuwuwu....... you¡¯re so good......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry!¡±
Zhao Lang¡¯s big hands gently wiped the tears for Chou er.
¡°Xin er, the moment you¡¯re in tears, my heart will feel pain! Don¡¯t cry anymore, my Xin er! Tell me, who has hurt you like this? I¡¯ll go kill him!¡±
When saying those words, Zhao Lang truly emitted a cold aura, making Chou er feel a burst of gratitude. More and more, she felt that she had chosen the right man.
¡°It¡¯s Murong Qi Qi!¡±
Chou er gritted her teeth while saying Murong Qi Qi¡¯s name.
¡°She made me like this! She not only killed my child, but also killed my mother! Murong Qi Qi and I have so much hatred that we can¡¯t live under the same sky!¡±
Chou er¡¯s eyes burned with mes of hatred. Zhao Lang revealed a smile of sess for only a moment. Chou er didn¡¯t see it.
¡°So, it¡¯s her! That bitch! I definitely won¡¯t let her off! I want her blood as revenge for Xin er!¡±
Zhao Lang¡¯s words surely made Chou er get rid of those ideas of just now about wandering to the horizons with him. Just thinking about her situation which was caused by Murong Qi Qi, Chou er once again burned with the thought of finding Murong Qi Qi for revenge.
¡°That¡¯s right! Can¡¯t let her off! I want to personally kill her!¡±
Although she said that, but today Murong Qi Qi escaped once again, making Chou er¡¯s confidence reduce to the minimum once again.
¡°Zhao Lang, what should I do? Why is her luck so good that she escapes every time? Now that princess has died, I lost my cover identity. What should I do to be able to kill Murong Qi Qi?¡±
Seeing that Chou er finally mentioned the main topic, Zhao Lang felt relieved. Damn it. I ttered her for so long and wasted so much saliva, finally this woman is coaxed! This was what Zhao Lang was thinking in his heart.
If it wasn¡¯t for the great cause of crown prince, he wouldn¡¯t have exhausted himself in coaxing Chou er to happiness. Seeing Chou er¡¯s face full of a moved expression, Zhao Lang sneered in his heart. However, his face became more and more gentle.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve a n!¡±
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Lang took a very thin human mask out of his sleeve and put it on Chou er. Then he handed her a small bronze mirror.
¡°Take a look!¡±
Inside the mirror, where was there still Chou er¡¯s face? It¡¯s obviously Wanyan Bao Zhu!
Chou er covered her mouth. She was stunned. Her fingers touched her face. She looked left and right for half a day and couldn¡¯t find even the slightest mistake.
¡°Before, I had the thought of getting rid of the princess and let you rece her. So, I made a human skin mask. Now, it seems that my preparations were necessarily. Letting you stay at her side, you¡¯ve suffered! Xin er, now you have be the princess, alright? My Xin er is much better at being a princess than Wanyan Bao Zhu!¡±
Now, Chou er truly worships Zhao Lang. Earlier, Zhao Lang let her get to understand Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s habits and characteristics more. He also let her imitate Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s tone and movements. It seems, he has long arranged this for her!
¡°Zhao Lang, today you let me wear the same clothes as princess. Is it that you¡¯d long had the thought of getting rid of her? Even if this matter didn¡¯t happen, you¡¯d have still find a way for me to be princess?¡±
The new identity made Chou er very happy. She never imagined that Zhao Lang would be so good to her. Princess! This identity had always been out of reach for Chou er. It¡¯s undoubtedly a great temptation!
¡°My Xin er is smart! Even if today¡¯s matter seeded, I also hid some people in the woods outside the city. There, they¡¯ll get rid of Wanyan Bao Zhu and let you take her ce as princess!¡±
Zhao Lang pulled off all the essories from Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s head and put them on Chou er.
¡°Chou er, remember, from today on, you¡¯re Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Bao Zhu and is below one person and above thousands of people. No one will dare to bully you!¡±
¡°Um!¡±
The thought of her transforming into a princess, made Chou er very excited. While being excited, her brows furrowed again.
¡°Zhao Lang, when Wanyan Bao Zhu died, was Murong Qi Qi also present? If Murong Qi Qi saw Wanyan Bao Zhu die; now that a new Wanyan Bao Zhu appeared, will she expose me?¡±
Chou er¡¯s question was also what Zhao Lang was worried about. If nothing happened to Murong Qi Qi, then this matter was quite mysterious. However, even if it¡¯s like that, he still wanted to take the bet.
¡°Xin er, maybe the matter is not asplicated. We can take the gamble!¡±
Zhao Lang leaned towards Chou er¡¯s ears and told her that. Chou er¡¯s expression turned much better.
¡°Is it really useful? I¡¯m very worried!¡±
¡°Rest at ease, I¡¯ll be waiting outside for you. If something happens to you, give me a signal! Even if it depends on my life, I¡¯ll still save you! Besides, don¡¯t we not have a witness?!¡±
Zhao Lang gave Chou er a bamboo tube and hugged Chou er.
¡°Xin er, our happiness depends on you! As long as we help crown prince get rid of Feng Cang, I¡¯ll be able to use the crown prince¡¯s power to be the chief of the martial word. Then, I¡¯ll give you a grand wedding in front of the world. I want you to be the happiest bride in this world!¡±
Have to say, Zhao Lang was weaving a beautiful dream for Chou er. A woman who had lost her head because of love, indulged in the lies of a man, and unable to extricate themselves out it. For example, Chou er, who was willing to dedicate all of her just because of a few empty words from Zhao Lang.
¡°Mm!¡±
Chou er nodded with happy tears. Although she suffered those tragic things in the past, but the heavens didn¡¯t treat her badly. Finally, she had met Zhao Lang, the man who truly loved her.
After the two pulled their thoughts together for some time, Chou er and Zhao Lang went with Mu Yu Die to the city¡¯s entrance. When they entered, Chou er woke Mu Yu Die up.
¡°Princess?¡±
Mu Yu Die¡¯s eyes was confused. She looked at Chou er and then looked at Zhao Lang.
¡°Who is he?¡±
¡°Yu Die, this is young master Zhao. Don¡¯t you remember? We were robbed by bad people. It¡¯s this young master Zhao who saved us!¡±
Chou er held Mu Yu Die¡¯s hand.
¡°Today, it was thanks to young master Zhao, otherwise, we¡¯ll now be at another ce!¡±
Chou er¡¯s words brought back a little of Mu Yu Die¡¯s memories. She immediately shouted while clutching her own head.
¡°No! No! Killing people! No!¡±
¡°Yu Die!¡±
Chou er clutched Mu Yu Die¡¯s hands.
¡°Yu Die, look at my eyes. We¡¯re alright now! We are safe!¡±
¡°We¡¯re safe......¡±
Mu Yu Die looked innocently at Chou er.
¡°Safe?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Miss Mu, you¡¯re safe now!¡±
Probably because Zhao Lang¡¯s voice had that kind of masculine calmness, which made Mu Yu Die calm down.
¡°Princess, we were saved! We¡¯re safe!¡±
After saying these two sentences, Mu Yu Die¡¯s tears fell.
Seeing Mu Yu Die like this, Zhao Lang gave Chou er a meaningful nce and apologized to the two: ¡°Since you two are safe now, I¡¯ll go now.¡±
¡°Young master Zhao! Thank you!¡±
While Chou er wasforting Mu Yu Die, she watched Zhao Lang left.
(Note from the author: in the next chapters, Wanyan Bao Zhu will be used when referring to Chou er)
Only after coaxing for a long time, did Mu Yu Die calm down. Wanyan Bao Zhu supported Mu Yu Die. The two asked the whole way on how to go back. Only in the evening did they arrive back at the residence. Just at that moment, Feng Cang, with a group of people, was about to go find them.
¡°Wangye2, princess and miss Mu are found!¡±
One person who saw Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die, immediately reported.
When Feng Cang heard that, he rushed over. He grabbed Wanyan Bao Zhu and dragged her in front of him.
¡°Say! Where did you bring Murong Qi Qi to? Why hasn¡¯t shee back? What did you do to her?!¡±
The coldness emitting from Feng Cang made Wanyan Bao Zhu shudder. And that pair of flirtatious eyes, at this time was now cold and bone-piercing, making Wanyan Bao Zhu unable to dare face him. What should she do? What should she do? Wanyan Bao Zhu was very scared. Although previously, Zhao Lang said everything was fine, but now facing Feng Cang, Wanyan Bao Zhu still feared; feared that he would see through her identity, feared that she would die at Feng Cang¡¯s hands.
¡°Say something!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Bao Zhu shivering, Feng Cang lost patience. His big hands directly grabbed Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s neck and lifted her up in the air.
¡°Say!¡±
Originally, he went to see the venue of the tournament and came back a bitte. He didn¡¯t expect that when he came back to Meixiang yuan3, he got to know from Su Yue that Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die had invited Murong Qi Qi out and still haven¡¯t returned.
The moment he heard this, he got anxious. He knew very well what kind of personality Wanyan Bao Zhu had. Everyone knew that woman¡¯s attitude towards Murong Qi Qi. Inviting Murong Qi Qi out certainly wouldn¡¯t be a good thing. As for Mu Yu Die, she¡¯s also not a person with good character. Feng Cang really hated himself for being soft-hearted and letting Mu Yu Die stay.
It so happened that today, Feng Cang went out with Jixiang. No one kept eyes on Wanyan Bao Zhu and these two took advantage of the loophole.
¡°Keke......ke......¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s feet swung in the air. Her hands wanted to break Feng Cang¡¯s big hand, but she couldn¡¯t get any energy. Zhao Lang, Zhao Lang! Wanyan Bao Zhu screamed for Zhao Lang in her heart. Zhao Lang, why do you still note save me?! I¡¯m dying!
¡°Cousin brother, have mercy!¡±
The moment Wanyan Kang saw this, he stepped forward to plead for Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Little sister, where is cousin-inw? Say something, ah!¡±
¡°I......I don¡¯t know......¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s breathing became heavier. She could feel that Feng Cang really wanted to kill her. Even with Wanyan Kang at one side, Feng Cang wouldpletely disregard her current identity of princess and kill her. If something happened to Murong Qi Qi......
For the first time ever, did Wanyan Bao Zhu hope that Murong Qi Qi was alive. If Murong Qi Qi was safe and sound, she would have a chance to continue living with this identity. If something had happened to Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang would definitely let her go apany Murong Qi Qi.
She doesn¡¯t want to die! After so much hardship, she got a new identity and would be able to start a new life; after so much hardship, she found a man she truly loves and has found her goal; she doesn¡¯t want to die like this.
¡°I don¡¯t know! I really don¡¯t know!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu cried and prayed that nothing happened to Murong Qi Qi. She must be safe and sound.
¡°Killing, many people, a lot of blood! Killing!¡±
Just when Wanyan Bao Zhu felt her soul was about to leave and go see the Jade emperor, Mu Yu Die, at one side, began to shout.
The Jade emperor is the ruler of heaven
¡°Many people died! A lot of blood!¡±
¡°Where¡¯s Murong Qi Qi? Did Murong Qi Qi die?¡±
The moment he heard Mu Yu Die¡¯s words, Feng Cang¡¯s hand loosened. Wanyan Bao Zhu fell onto the ground. Feng Cang rushed to Mu Yu Die like the wind. He grabbed her shoulder.
¡°Say, where is Murong Qi Qi?¡±
¡°A lot of blood! A lot of blood,¡± Mu Yu Die shouted and fainted.
Seeing Mu Yu Die like this, Feng Cang roared: ¡°Jin Mo, quicklye here and wake her up!¡±
The people of Feng Cang had never seen such a wangye. Inside everyone¡¯s memories, Nan Lin wang had always been calm and collected with an appearance of nothing had to do with him. Even with an enemy in front of him, he could stillugh and never put anyone in his eyes. But today, Feng Cang let the people see his other side.
¡°Wangye, miss Mu was shocked and her head is in a mess. Temporarily we can¡¯t ask her anything.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s face was very gloomy. The people around him were afraid to make a sound, fearing that with a little movement, they would anger this Nan Lin wang and bring trouble to themselves.
¡°Search! Order the eagle group to go search! Meng Tian Qi, mobilize the entire army of Yongzhou and find princess Zhao Yang!¡±
Feng Cang turned his face. Cold eyes swept over Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Wanyan Bao Zhu, if we can¡¯t find princess Zhao Yang, benwang4 will let you get a taste of what living is more painful than death is!¡±
On the streets, in front of the citizens, Feng Cang showed his intention to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu, making everyone surprised. What kind of holy person is this princess Zhao Yang to let Feng Cang lose control like this......
¡°Zeze, interesting!¡±
Not far away, a man saw this scene and revealed a strange smile.
¡°Go investigate princess Zhao Yang. I¡¯d like to know what kind of woman can let demon wang Feng Cang be like this!¡±
Chapter 83 Seduce (1)
Chapter 83 Seduce (1)
Just when everything was ready, Feng Cang mounted Snow and was about to go search for Murong Qi Qi, when a soft voice appeared at the corner.
¡°Wangye1......¡±
That gentle voice let the tight string in Feng Cang¡¯s heart rx immediately. Following the voice, he saw Murong Qi Qi running towards him.
¡°Wangye!¡±
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Not waiting for people to understand, a burst of wind passed and wrapped Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m back.¡±
Listening to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice, feeling the temperature of her body and smelling the fragrance from her hair, Feng Cang¡¯s heart finally calmed down. Holding her like this really is a good feeling! Before, Feng Cang thought about numerous possibilities and was worried that something had happened to Murong Qi Qi. Now that Murong Qi Qi was standing in front of him, unscratched and in a good condition, he was so happy.
Murong Qi Qiing back made everyone let out a breath of relief. Especially those people who had followed Feng Cang for a long time. Fortunately, princess Zhao Yang came back. Otherwise, they really didn¡¯t know what kind of crazy thing their master would have done!
¡°Cousin-inw, fortunately you came back. Cousin brother almost turned Yongzhou over!¡±
Now, Wanyan Kang also let out a deep breath of relief. Just now, Feng Cang wanted to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu. His gaze didn¡¯t seem like he was joking. He was not only saying that. Just now, he was worried about what he should do if Feng Cang wanted to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu!
Although Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t like Wanyan Bao Zhu, but after all, they¡¯re half siblings. Something happening to his little sister in front of his eyes; by then, he, as a big brother, also can¡¯t escape being med.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice, full ofughter, finally let the two people who were hugging, separate. Murong Qi Qi blushed and apologized to Feng Cang while feeling sorry: ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Originally, I wanted toe earlier, but I didn¡¯t know the way and circled around the city for a long time.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose was red because of the cold. Coupled with that pair of watery eyes, she looked like a small animal arousing the affection of people.
¡°It¡¯s fine as long as youe back!¡±
Feng Cang knew that other words were unnecessary. As long as Murong Qi Qi is safe and sound, to him that¡¯s the best thing!
¡°That¡¯s right! As long as cousin-inwes back, it¡¯s fine! Otherwise, cousin brother will really vent his anger on imperial little sister!¡±
¡°Imperial little sister?¡±
Only after hearing this, did Murong Qi Qi see Wanyan Bao Zhu, who was standing at one side with her head lowered.
How can this be?! Murong Qi Qi screamed in her heart. Wanyan Bao Zhu had died at the hands of Tie Xue. Why was she (WBZ) now standing in front of her (MQQ), very much alive?
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak. Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart jumped badly. What should she do? What should she do? If Murong Qi Qi found out that she¡¯s a fake, what should she do? Where¡¯s Zhao Lang? Zhao Lang, where are you?! Zhao Lang, you must save me, ah!
¡°Princess?,¡± Murong Qi Qi probed.
¡°You¡¯vee back! So good!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu revealed an ugly smile.
¡°It¡¯s alright, nothing happened! We were so worried about you!¡±
Hearing the other party speak, Murong Qi Qi immediately knew that she¡¯s not Wanyan Bao Zhu! Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s voice was very arrogant and this voice was very introverted. Besides, Wanyan Bao Zhu would never look at her with such fear. There must be some secret.
In just a moment, Murong Qi Qi analysed the matter very clearly. Since this person was a fake, then there must be a conspiracy behind it. Instead of exposing this fake Wanyan Bao Zhu and cut the clues of the one behind it, she might as well follow the vine to get to the melon and find the one behind this!
Follow the vine to get to the melon: to track the clues
¡°Um, I¡¯vee back. Before, I was worried about princess and miss Mu. I didn¡¯t think that you would be safe. I can be at ease now!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t seem like she was faking it. When Wanyan Bao Zhu saw that she didn¡¯t see through her, her sinking heart slowly calmed down.
¡°I¡¯m fine. We¡¯re fine. It¡¯s fine that we¡¯re alright. It¡¯s fine that we¡¯re alright......¡±
After Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safe return, Feng Cang immediately went with her into Meixiang yuan2 while hugging. The moment they entered the room, Feng Cang let Murong Qi Qi sit on hisp.
¡°What happened? Did they do it?¡±
The coldness inside Feng Cang¡¯s phoenix eyespletely disappeared. He didn¡¯t forget the initiator because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safe return. Calcting Murong Qi Qi, tricking his woman? Those two people have great courage! It seems that he hasn¡¯t killed for a long time, so people have forgotten his ways!
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±
Murong Qi Qi softly leaned onto Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She felt the most safe in his arms.
¡°Wangye, can this matter be handed over for me to deal with? I¡¯ve already thought of a way to deal with them!¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying that made Feng Cang realise that was indeed Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die who made a trap. However, she said she wanted to deal with it personally, making Feng Cang surprised.
¡°Alright! How they should be dealt with, you can see to it! Even if you want their heads, I¡¯ll support you! However, you need to tell me what has happened!¡±
Murong Qi Qi said in a simple manner about how she met Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people on the way, but then a group of people appeared to help. She took the opportunity, stole a horse and ran away. She waited till it was safe beforeing back.
¡°Wu Ji Gong!¡±
Hearing about Wu Ji Gong once again, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes became cold again. Humph! Originally, he thought that if Zhao Lang behaved a little, then he wouldn¡¯t bother with him (ZL) too much. Now, it seemed that this person was a miserable wretch. You let him be noble, so why can¡¯t he be someone noble?
¡°Wangye, I also don¡¯t know when I offended Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people. Those people said they wanted to kill me and go back to get a reward. Wangye, who is the person behind them? Who hates me so much and wants to kill me!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang¡¯s tone, Murong Qi Qi fanned the mes. What is lending a knife to kill somebody? That¡¯s using another¡¯s hand to get rid of your enemy.
Today, Wu Ji Gongpletely offended Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Bao Zhu hooked on Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people and let theme harm her, she¡¯s afraid that inside, there¡¯s definitely some shady activities! Since Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people came to Yongzhou, why should she not use Feng Cang¡¯s hands to clean them up?!
¡°You didn¡¯t offend them. It¡¯s me who implicated you.¡±
Feng Cang bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear.
In Feng Cang¡¯s point of view, the main lead behind all of this was definitely Wanyan Hong.
Zhao Lang was just a dog of Wanyan Hong. The big tree behind Wu Ji Gong was Wanyan Hong. Besides, these past few years, Wu Ji Gong did many things for Wanyan Hong. It seems that he needs to get rid of Wu Ji Gong, breaking Wanyan Hong¡¯s left and right hands to let him know how much he truly is worth.
¡°Wangye, then are you alright?!¡±
Feng Cang saying that, Murong Qi Qi immediately became worried. What has Feng Cang done that he provoked Wu Ji Gong? Although Wu Ji Gong was nothing but a rookie, but they were in the dark and Feng Cang was in the light. What should she do if Zhao Lang yed the dark ways?
It seemed that before, she was too kind-hearted. She didn¡¯t get rid of Wu Ji Gong. They are now actually threatening to Feng Cang! Her man, only she can order and squeeze, how can other people bully him? Murong Qi Qi already made up her mind to get rid of Wu Ji Gong.
What Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know was, Feng Cang, because of her safety, also made the same decision.
¡°Qing Qing, rest assured. Hand this matter over to me! I won¡¯t let you suffer even a bit anymore!¡±
At night, inside Feng Cang¡¯s room, it was still brightly lit. Jin Mo poured the brewed medicine in a bowl and put it on the table. Feng Cang was sitting and Nn Xin was standing at the other side.
¡°Are you sure? Only twenty-five? Including Zhao Lang?¡±
¡°Answering chief, inside Yongzhou, there¡¯s only twenty-five Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people including the head of Wu Ji Gong, Zhao Lang. Gui Yan is watching them. We¡¯re only waiting for lord¡¯smand!¡±
The one who looked over Murong Qi Qi in Xi Qi, Nn Xin, now not even a trace of that pedantic appearance could be seen. Although his air of a schr was still strong, but the killing intent inside the schr aura was also very strong.
¡°Kill!¡±
Feng Cang drank the medicine and put down the bowl. He put a candied fruit in his mouth.
¡°Don¡¯t let one off!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Zhao Lang who was living in the inn; at night, his left and right eyelids began to jump badly. He thought that it was because Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s matter had gotten exposed. He sent out some people to go take a look, but he didn¡¯t expect that the ones he had sent didn¡¯te back, making his heart be more uneasy.
¡®Dongdongdong!¡¯
Three knocks on the door. Zhao Lang¡¯s heart tightened. He immediately asked: ¡°Who is there?¡±
¡°Lord, do you need special services?¡±
A pretty voice came in. That voice seemed to be as sweet as wrapped in honey, making Zhao Lang¡¯s whole body tingle. He immediately forgot all his troubles. He came to the door and nced across it at the stature. Slim physique with a pair of watery eyes, which were blinking as though sending an arrow at him. Zhao Lang immediately surrendered. With a squeaky sound, the door opened.
¡°Lord, your movement is very slow, yo!¡±
The woman twisted her body and came in. As she was passing him, she sent him a tempting wink.
That nce suddenly gave Zhao Lang an electric shock. Not waiting for Zhao Lang to understand, there was a dagger against his neck. He turned his head and saw that there was another person following behind that woman. From the stature, you could see that she¡¯s also a woman. However, this woman had a veil on and her appearance couldn¡¯t be seen.
¡°What do you want to do?¡±
The cold at his neck made Zhao Lang thoroughly sober up. From head to toe, he felt cold. If it wasn¡¯t because there was a dagger at his neck, he really wanted to give himself two ps on the face! Howe he couldn¡¯t change this lust problem? Why is it that every time he¡¯ll get nted at this word ¡®lust¡¯! Obviously above the word lust is a dagger, so why could he still not hold himself in while seeing a beauty?!
The Chinese word lust (?) have a dagger/knife (?) above it.
¡°Lord, are you afraid?¡±
The beauty took out a porcin bottle and opened it. She put it under Zhao Lang¡¯s nose to let him smell it.
Not good! Zhao Lang was startled. It didn¡¯t take long before his whole body weakened. His whole body felt soft and couldn¡¯t use any energy.
¡°Zeze, aren¡¯t you the head of Wu Ji Gong? Howe you can¡¯t even handle a mere fragrant soft powder?¡±
Retrieving the dagger, Su Mei retreated to a side. Murong Qi Qi slowly walked towards Zhao Lang.
¡°Who are you?¡±
Zhao Lang¡¯s heart tightened. He also used poisons for many years. Such fragrance soft powder, even he couldn¡¯t make it. Could it be that the other side was also a master at this? Then who could she be?
This soft fragrance powder was able to act so fast. Only the people of Moyu can make such a drug. However, there were only a few women in Moyu. Now, two had appeared. Then who was the one talking? Zhao Lang suddenly made a bold assumption. Could the other party be Du Xian Er? Thinking about the name Du Xian Er, Zhao Lang couldn¡¯t help but shiver. He immediately prayed that the woman in front of him did not have any rtion with Du Xian Er.
¡°Who I am is not important. What¡¯s important is, I want to know who sent you to deal with Feng Cang?!¡±
Hearing this, Zhao Lang was puzzled. If the other party was really someone from Moyu, then when did Moyu form a rtionship with Feng Cang? Or was it that Moyu also wanted to deal with Feng Cang?
¡°Talk!¡±
Seeing that Zhao Lang didn¡¯t say anything, with one stroke Su Mei cut off Zhao Lang¡¯s left ear. It was so painful that he wanted to shout, but he didn¡¯t even have the energy to shout. Warm blood rolled down against his face, making his clothes red. Now, Zhao Lang is very sure that the other party was Du Xian Er. Only Du Xian Er would have such vicious tactics.
¡°I¡¯ll talk! I¡¯ll talk! It¡¯s Wanyan Hong! It¡¯s Wanyan Hong who let me deal with Feng Cang! Wanyan Hong said that Feng Cang is his biggest threat. Only by getting rid of Feng Cang, would his ce as the crown prince be secure!¡±
Murong Qi Qi thought that she would need to use some more tactics before Zhao Lang confessed. She didn¡¯t expect that with only an ear, he would blurt out Wanyan Hong. So, the one behind this was crown prince Wanyan Hong. It seemed that before, she guessed wrong. This Wanyan Hong was indeed a big problem.
¡°Aside from Wanyan Hong, is there anyone else? What were you going to do?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no one else. My master is Wanyan Hong. Wanyan Hong let me find an opportunity to get rid of Feng Cang. If I couldn¡¯t get rid of Feng Cang, then I had to kill Murong Qi Qi in order to leave a scar on Feng Cang¡¯s heart. I was also forced, ah. Wanyan Hong said if I didn¡¯t follow his request, he would eliminate Wu Ji Gong. Under me, there are more than a thousand people, ah. I can¡¯t let them die!¡±
Ordinarily, it was a very shameful thing, buting from Zhao Lang, it had now be how much he loved and protected his subordinates; how in order to protect his men¡¯s life, he had to follow Wanyan Hong¡¯smands.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi had a profound understanding of Wu Ji Gong and Zhao Lang. So, she didn¡¯t believe a word of what he was saying. In her heart, she felt that¡¯s very unfortunate for Wanyan Hong. This Zhao Lang was such a soft bone. After losing only one ear, he already betrayed Wanyan Hong. It seemed that this crown prince didn¡¯t have a good eyesight for encountering such a treacherous person.
¡°Master, someone ising this way.¡±
From outside, Su Yue¡¯s voice came in. Murong Qi Qi already asked what she wanted to know. She nodded at Su Mei. The next moment, a silver light shed. Zhao Lang¡¯s head had been cut off while he was still alive. Su Mei quickly pulled the bed sheet, wrapped Zhao Lang¡¯s head in it and followed Murong Qi Qi at jumping out of the window.
When Nn Xin arrived, he only saw a headless body kneeling on the ground. Blood stained the ground, making it look very terrifying.
Who was it? Who acted before him? Nn Xin frowned deeply. He carefully looked at the scene before leaving.
That night, there was a big snow storm, falling like sand. In just one night, it let Yongzhou city be wrapped in ayer of silver. In the morning, Wanyan Bao Zhu woke up. After cleaning herself, she went outside. She didn¡¯t expect that the moment she stepped out of the room, in front of the door, there would be a snowman that was as tall as a person.
¡°Yong er3, who made this snowman?¡±
¡°Answering princess, this ve doesn¡¯t know. This morning when this ve woke up, this snowman was already in the yard. Maybe someone else made it for fun.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu stepped onto the snow and walked towards the snowman. She carefully looked at the snowman. This snowman was made to look extremely childish. On its head was a hat made from roof tiles. Its nose was a half-cut carrot. Those eyes, they seemed like the ones on a real person. Besides, they looked somewhat familiar.
Looking at the ck pupils, the more Wanyan Bao Zhu felt that they were familiar. Who do they resemble? After thinking for a long time, finally Wanyan Bao Zhu remembered. It resembled Zhao Lang. No wonder she felt it looked familiar! Who made the snowman to look so much like Zhao Lang. Especially those eyes. It felt like Zhao Lang was standing in front of her, looking at her.
Wanyan Bao Zhu thought of Zhao Lang and also thought of their beautiful future together. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out to touch that pair of eyes. Unexpectedly, just when she touched the snowman¡¯s head, that white ball fell and rolled onto the ground, revealing a ray of ck hair.
¡°Princess, what is that?¡±
Yong er followed next to Wanyan Bao Zhu. She carefully kicked the snowman¡¯s head, but didn¡¯t expect to see a head roll out.
¡°Ah!¡±
Yong er screamed and hid behind Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Princess, what is that? Why does it look like a human¡¯s head?!¡±
Hearing Yong er say that, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart tightened. She rushed forward and carefully looked at it.
¡°Ah!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu staggered and fell onto the ground, full of snow. Howe? Howe it¡¯s Zhao Lang? She just saw him yesterday. Yesterday, they were still lovey dovey. Why did Zhao Lang be like this today?
Chapter 84 Seduce (2)
Chapter 84 Seduce (2)
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s scream made everyonee over.
¡°Princess, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Yong er1 sensed the strangeness in Wanyan Bao Zhu. She immediately went forward and helped Wanyan Bao Zhu up.
¡°Princess, is everything alright? Princess!¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu shook her head. She turned her face to one side to let no one see her. Tears fell on the ground.
¡°Yong er, escort me back. It¡¯s very frightening here.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Murong Qi Qi, the person standing next to Feng Cang; from the moment she had arrived, she had been focusing on Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s demeanor. Seeing her like this, she became even more sure that this person was not princess Bao Zhu.
It seemed that this person had an unusual rtionship with Zhao Lang. Since she¡¯s Zhao Lang¡¯s person, then she¡¯s certainly also Wanyan Hong¡¯s person. If it¡¯s like that, she needed to let people watch over ¡®Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯. She would like to see what kind of purpose this person had to disguise themselves as the princess.
Under the escort of Yong er, Wanyan Bao Zhu went back, step by step. When passing Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi suddenly asked: ¡°Princess is feeling unwell? Do we need to invite a doctor over?¡±
¡°No, no need.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu lowered her head.
¡°I¡¯m just scared.¡±
¡°Then princess should rest well and nurse your body back to health. After two days, it¡¯s the tournament of the four countries. Bengong¡¯s2 happy future is relying on princess¡¯ force!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice had a happy taste, making Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart shook even more.
Why, why is god so unfair? Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s careful appearance while hugging Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s hatred intensified. Why was her happiness deprived repeatedly and Murong Qi Qi had such a good life?! She doesn¡¯t ept! She doesn¡¯t ept that!
It so happened, when Wanyan Bao Zhu raised her head, her eyes and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes intertwined. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze was full of provocation and her mouth had a sarcastic smile. It was just like in Xi Qi; she¡¯s high above others, very arrogant!
If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Cang was at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side; if it wasn¡¯t because Zhao Lang had died and she needed to take revenge for Zhao Lang, Wanyan Bao Zhu would¡¯ve rushed forward and tore that ¡®hateful¡¯ face of Murong Qi Qi.
The hatred in Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s eyes, made Murong Qi Qi somewhat puzzled. This kind of hate made her feel somewhat baffled! The matter ofst night was done in secret. Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t have known that it¡¯s her who did it, so why did she(WBZ) have that kind of hate when looking at her (MQQ)? Why did that hate seemed to have been there for quite a long time?
Calm down, calm down! Wanyan Bao Zhu tried hard to convince herself. Don¡¯t get angry. Today, let that bitch Murong Qi Qi be happy. She would certainly find an opportunity and give Murong Qi Qi a deadly blow. By then, she¡¯d see if she (MQQ) would still able tough out loud!
Zhao Lang¡¯s head, to the missionaries of Bei Zhou, was but a small wave of a river. They somersaulted for a bit and then disappeared. Aside from Wanyan Bao Zhu, no one would be sad because of this person and they also wouldn¡¯t care about this person¡¯s identity. In the end, Feng Cang let people send this head without an ear away to the outside of the city and casually find a ce to throw it in the wilderness.
When Wanyan Bao Zhu found out about how Feng Cang dealt with Zhao Lang¡¯s head, she also hated Feng Cang.
If before, Wanyan Bao Zhu only lived to take revenge on Murong Qi Qi; now, she felt the burden on her was heavier. Not only did she need to stay alive, she also needed to use the identity Zhao Lang created for her and live very well. She needed to get revenge for Zhao Lang. She also need to let Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, this pair of animals, not live well!
Now, she¡¯s not Murong Xin Lian who needed to hide from assassins. She¡¯s Wanyan Bao Zhu, the princess of Bei Zhou! She had an identity that can match with Murong Qi Qi and doesn¡¯t have to fear anyone any longer. She doesn¡¯t need to bow to anyone any longer! She needed to use the knife in her hand and personally cut off Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heads to take revenge for Zhao Lang!
It was now the middle of December. The weather was getting increasingly cold, but Yongzhou city was particrly lively. All the missionaries of the other three countries have arrived. The tournament of the four countries were in sight. Plus, with the new yearing, the smell of the new year got increasingly strong in Yongzhou and it became more and more lively.
From the beginning to the end, the tournament would only take ten days. The people of Dong Lu arrived thetest. The moment they came, they began to prepare the knockoutpetition. This time, Dong Lu would decide the content of the knockoutpetition. The knockoutpetition became somewhat a secret. It¡¯s just that the area outside the venue for the knockoutpetition was already being filled by people. No one was able to see what¡¯s happening inside. It made people look forward to the beginning of thepetition even more.
The citizens of Yongzhou discussed heavily about the tournament of the four countries. The bet between Xi Qi¡¯s princess Zhao Yang and Bei Zhou¡¯s empress dowager had long been spread throughout the north and south, not to mention Yongzhou, where the tournament would be held.
¡°Princess Zhao Yang? Murong Qi Qi? Rubbish?¡±
Jia Lan sat at a chair against the window in the most prosperous and most lively ¡®Cymen¡¯. He watched the sky that was filled with snow and sipped wine.
It wasn¡¯t exined what Cymen is, but I think it¡¯s the name of a restaurant in Yongzhou.
¡°Only found this much information?¡±
¡°Yes, sir Jia Lan. Everything about Murong Qi Qi is in your hands without missing anything.¡±
At one side, a man in blue stood respectfully. The tone and posture showed his respect to the man in front of him.
Jia Lan already read this information carefully from start to finish. From this information, he couldn¡¯t see anything special about Murong Qi Qi. However, the woman who could move that man, would she be mediocre?
¡°Sir, she arrived......¡±
Jia Lan noticed that the whole Cymen had be silent. The reason for the quietness was the couple who had appeared at the door.
The man was in a white fox fur. The white color made his face be more devilishly beautiful. The woman was wearing a red fox fur. Both the inside and outside was bright red, revealing a hot taste.
¡°It¡¯s Nan Lin wang3 and princess Zhao Yang!¡±
There were some who were sharp-eyed and recognized this couple. Immediately, the audience was in uproar. Nan Lin wang! It¡¯s actually Nan Lin wang Feng Cang!
Although many citizens have heard about the name Nan Lin wang and also knew that he¡¯s a man as beautiful as the devil, but for many people, this was the first time they saw Feng Cang in person. Immediately, someone screamed and there were more people who lost their breath.
Devilish beauty, really a devilish beauty! Tempting like a devil phoenix eyes, red lips, ck as ink pupils and with a faint smile. Looking at him, he seemed amiable, but also let people stay a thousand miles away. All the people here, there¡¯s no one who haven¡¯t heard about Nan Lin wang¡¯s reputation. Now seeing the real person, many people felt that those rumors were false. How could mere words describe this man?!
Looking at the woman next to Feng Cang;pared to him, she seemed a lot iner. Appearance was just ordinary. Although well-behaved and pleasant, but with such a devilish beauty at her side, she seemed more ordinary.
Really, unfortunate......the man¡¯s appearance was like the sky of tomorrow, the woman¡¯s like a grass at the roadside. This Murong Qi Qi was really not worthy of Nan Lin wang, everyone thought.
However, the thoughts of everyone were only their wishful thinking. When seeing Feng Cang¡¯s attitude towards Murong Qi Qi, everyone was stunned.
¡°Qing Qing, do you like it quiet or lively? Should we go to the rooms upstairs?¡±
Feng Cang persistently held onto Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hands and led her into the Cymen.
¡°Doesn¡¯t matter! Instead of enjoying the happiness alone, why don¡¯t we share it and have fun with the citizens!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi wanted it to be lively, Feng Cang took her hand and led her to a vacant ce.
Here was the first floor. Everyone sitting here were allmoners. The famous Feng Cang sitting with Murong Qi Qi amongmoners, made these people feel somewhat ttered. Looks like this wangye is very approachable, ah!
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know that his little act for getting Murong Qi Qi to sit on the first floor, had let the people put the title of ¡®close to themoners¡¯ on him.
Nan Lin wang was here. The owner of Cymen personally came over.
¡°Just bring out a few special dishes. Not too much. Enough for two people is alright. If it¡¯s more, it¡¯ll be a waste.¡±
Because of Feng Cang¡¯s arrival, the whole Cymen was silent. Now, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words had clearly spread to everyone¡¯s ears.
The people who were regretting for Murong Qi Qi about her looks and felt that she wasn¡¯t worthy of Feng Cang; seeing princess Zhao Yang being so frugal, they all gave her a thumbs up. Originally, they thought that Murong Qi Qi would be very extravagant and wasteful. She would get a table full of dishes, eat a few and then feed the leftovers to dogs. They didn¡¯t expect that she would only order a few specialties.
Immediately, the public opinion, which had fell down because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ordinary looks, soared. A ¡®close tomoners¡¯ wangye and a thrifty princess, they are a perfect match!
The owner was naturally very considerate. He pulled out five dishes. A bowl of bear¡¯s paw, supreme prawn, dried shark¡¯s fin, crystal meat, plus a dish that everyone in Bei Zhou loved to eat, water Chinese cabbage.
crystal meat
dried shark fin
bear¡¯s paw
supreme shrimps
water Chinese cabbage
¡°Try it!¡±
Feng Cang peeled a shrimp and put it in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bowl.
Murong Qi Qi picked it up and put it in her mouth. She savored it and slowly chewed. Her way of eating was very elegant, making everyone put down their chopsticks and stare at this princess. Even the owner stood at one side with a bent back. On his forehead was ayer of cold sweat as he waited for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s evaluation.
¡°Delicious! Cymen really deserves its reputation!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice fell, the owner let out a breath of relief.
¡°Thanking princess for the praise! Thanks princess!¡±
¡°Go do your work! You don¡¯t need to serve here!¡±
Feng Cang gestured with his hand. The owner bowed and then left, leaving Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi alone. Feng Cang didn¡¯t eat much. He was carefully putting dishes on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bowl. His gentleness and carefulness made people couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. The demon wang from the rumors wasn¡¯t like this. Could it be that the rumors were wrong?
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s carefulness and gentleness, themoners felt more assured that the rumors about demon wang were false.
What bloodthirsty? What cruelty? That gentle man, who was tenderly peeling shrimps next to that woman, would be such a vicious and cruel man?
No one could link such a Feng Cang with the demon wang from the rumors. More people realized that those rumors must have been spread by people who were jealous of Feng Cang¡¯s talent. That¡¯s why they released those incredible words with the purpose of ndering him! Immediately, the public opinion soared like a river; all flowing to Feng Cang¡¯s side.
On the second floor, from the moment Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang arrived, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes were stuck on Murong Qi Qi.
Don¡¯t know why, he didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi for just a period, but he felt like it was a very long time. She had changed, had be more feminine. That delicate and well-behaved appearance made people couldn¡¯t help but cherish her from the bottom of their heart.
The one who traveled together with him, Murong Qing Lian, was in the same mood as him. Only her goal was Feng Cang. Before in Xi Qi, she saw Feng Cang once and had been enthralled by his handsomeness. Now, her heart only beat for this gentle man. Murong Qing Lian never expected that Feng Cang would treat people so kindly and was so good to women. Seeing that stunning man next to Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qing Lian wished that she was sitting in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ce and enjoying those benefits.
This time, Xi Qi was led by Longze Jing Tian. Beside Murong Qing Lian, the other members were Li Yun Qing and Bai Yi Yue; two women and two men.
Before, because the imperial family of Xi Qi had lost two princes and one princess at the Chongyan Festival¡¯s pce banquet; plus the fact that Murong Xue Lian, because of a miscarriage, didn¡¯t recover and stayed all the time in bed, Longze Yu¡¯s mood was extremely bad. He threw the tournament of the four countries to Longze Jing Tian and let him take care of it. So, the participants were decided by Longze Jing Tian. Using his words: not much but strong.
Bai Yi Yue saw Murong Qi Qi was happy; naturally, she¡¯s also happy for her. And Li Yun Qing¡¯s mood was very depressed. The originally handsome man was now very quiet. He only looked quietly at Murong Qi Qi as if wanting to imprint her face into his heart.
¡°Your highness, I want to go over and greet princess Zhao Yang!¡±
Bai Yi Yue stood up and consulted Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Um!¡±
Longze Jing Tian nodded.
¡°I also heard the matter about princess Zhao Yang. Why don¡¯t we all go to see her? After all, she¡¯s our Xi Qi¡¯s princess!¡±
Longze Jing Tian led the group of people to Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s table. He first paid his respects to Feng Cang. Then Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Princess, long time no see!¡±
¡°Long time no see!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded at Longze Jing Tian. She didn¡¯t have any interest in Longze Jing Tian; instead, she stood up when she saw Li Yun Qing and Bai Yi Yue. She stepped forward and pulled Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand.
¡°Yi Yue, you also came! Cousin brother, long time no see!¡±
Murong Qi Qi truly saw these two as friends. No matter if it¡¯s Li Yun Qing, who had helped her or Bai Yi Yue, who had always treated her as friend; to be able to see them in a foreign country made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood very good.
¡°Princess is blessed!¡±
Bai Yi Yue smiled and looked at Murong Qi Qi and then looked at Feng Cang.
¡°Princess looks very good. It seems that princess is already ustomed to Bei Zhou and is living happily there!¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright!¡±
Murong Qi Qi blushed.
¡°Wangye is very good to me!¡±
¡°Then it¡¯s good!¡±
Bai Yi Yue felt happy for Murong Qi Qi from the bottom of her heart.
And this sentence of Murong Qi Qi made these people get a strange taste. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart was full of bitterness. Why, why does he feel regret after missing it? Why did she say goodbye to him when he had just deviated a little bit?
In contrast to Longze Jing Tian, Li Yun Qing calmed down. Before, when he didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi, his whole heart was hanging; worried that she was not living well, worried that Feng Cang bullied her. Now, seeing Murong Qi Qi happy, he felt relieved. That she is happy, to him is the best news.
The one who was the most dissatisfied was Murong Qing Lian.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s happy smile was like a thorn in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. She wished she could get rid of her. She¡¯s just a rubbish. What ability did she have to get Feng Cang¡¯s favor? To have such an outstanding man at her knees, what kind of dog feces did Murong Qi Qi step on to get such luck?
Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian to understand the reason, someone already asked out loud what was in her mind.
¡°Yo, very strange! Did the sune out from the west? Always it¡¯s been flowers stuck into cow dung, why is it reversed today, ah?! Obviously, he¡¯s an unparalleled man, why is such an ugly woman following him. Is it the man who has a poor taste or is it the woman who¡¯s shameless, ah?!¡±
Flowers stuck into cow dung: lovely woman marries an odious man
The words just fell, when a group of people came down from the second floor and appeared in front of everyone. The one leading was a beautiful woman wearing a burning red robe, abundant with a body full of jewels.
¡°Guli, what you said is wrong! Without ugly, how could beauty be brought out?! It¡¯s like without evil; how could it bepared to good?!¡±
The one talking was a man. His skin was white. He only had a male voice,pletely destroying his image. This man looked too feminine. His waist was slimmer than a woman¡¯s. His eyes only stayed a bit on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face and then stopped at Feng Cang¡¯s body. That gaze was full of possessiveness as if Feng Cang was a delicious dinner, tempting people to taste it.
¡°Long Duo, don¡¯t fight with me!¡±
Sensing Long Duo¡¯s mind, Guli stopped him with her foot.
¡°I took a fancy to this man. He¡¯s mine!¡±
¡°Ah......¡±
The white faceughed and revealed a row of yellow teeth.
¡°Guli, beauty, everyone loves him. If you have the ability to snatch him, I¡¯ll admit defeat!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Not waiting for Long Duo to finish, Guli shook and twisted to Feng Cang.
This woman had a smile which was able to let people lose their souls. Her eyes constantly sent electricity to Feng Cang. This man, whose whole body exuded cold aura, was really to her taste. Traveling all over the four countries, sleeping with so many man, she had never encountered such a man who let her heart be moved, who let her couldn¡¯t wait to threw herself at him.
Guli¡¯s eyes were like a scanner, sweeping over Feng Cang¡¯s whole body repeatedly. Not bad. The shoulder was wide and skinny enough. The waist was slender and narrow enough. With one look, you would know that this was a man with strength. If being able to have pleasure between fish and water with such a man, it¡¯s simply the world¡¯s most beautiful thing.
Pleasure between fish and water: sexual intercourse (TN: I really don¡¯t know how ancient Chinese people came up with these idioms)
¡°You¡¯re Nan Lin wang Feng Cang? I¡¯m Nan Feng¡¯s contestant. My name is Guli. This year, I¡¯m seventeen and don¡¯t have a marriage arrangement yet.¡±
When she was in front of Feng Cang, she tilted her legs, sat next to him and enthusiastically introduced herself.
What made everyone surprised was, inside Guli¡¯s red robe, there were two beautiful legs. Her skin color was a healthy wheat color. So, the exposed legs, although slender, but they were also strong. They were also a healthy wheat color. And her upper body, everyone discovered that this woman¡¯s cor was open till her chest. Those two wheat-colored clouds squeezed as if they wanted to sprung out of the red barrier, very eye catching.
This, they are an E-cup, right?! Murong Qi Qi visually measured a bit. Really a big milk cow, ah! Thinking about herself, she¡¯s just B. Suddenly, Murong Qi Qi felt regret. Although B was also not bad, but in her previous life, she was a proud D, ah! Why was it that traveling through time once, not only did her height shrink, even the bust was also such a big gap, ah?!
Seeing Murong Qi Qi stare at her beautiful breasts, Guli deliberately lifted her hair and stopped in front of Murong Qi Qi as if she wanted to show off to her, and also challenge her. Even Guli¡¯s mouth revealed a provocative smile.
There was no man who doesn¡¯t like a big breasted woman. Guli was absolutely confident in her body! Just now, she also looked at Murong Qi Qi. She¡¯s just a not even developed girl. Not ripe to the extreme. What does she (MQQ) have topete with her (G)?
¡°Wangye, this is the first time I came to Bei Zhou. There are many ces I haven¡¯t been to. Don¡¯t know if wangye has the time to take me out for a stroll.¡±
While speaking, Guli¡¯s beautiful legs reached below the table towards Feng Cang¡¯s legs.
Chapter 85 The duel of life and death (1)
Chapter 85 The duel of life and death (1)
Not waiting for Guli to get close, Feng Cang turned sideways and gave a kick, sending the beauty flying.
¡°Dirty......,¡± Feng Cang frowned in disgust. Ruyi standing behind Feng Cang immediately went forward and took the shoe from the foot that kicked Guli and changed it for a new shoe. The originally dirty shoe was directly thrown away by Ruyi.
Feng Cang¡¯s flying kick hit Guli directly on her chest. The next moment, a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound was heard. Although the sound was low, but Murong Qi Qi heard it very clearly. Pitiful, infatuated flower. The fourth rib of the left chest was broken! That kick from Feng Cang wasn¡¯t light. It seemed that this woman needed to lie down in bed for some time!
¡°Guli, are you alright?!¡±
Long Duo went forward and helped Guli up. Guli stood and felt a stab in her heart. Only now did she became aware of her broken rib.
¡°Good! Not bad!¡±
Guli gritted her teeth. She pulled out a cream and rubbed it on her chest, but her eyes were fixated on Feng Cang. This man is strong enough. She likes it! Those soft men who only knew how to follow couldn¡¯t enter her eyes! Men need to be like Feng Cang. There should be enough vor! She¡¯s set on this man!
If Guli said her thoughts out loud, everyone would have vomitted. Howe there¡¯s such a woman? The more you oppress, the braver she bes. Feng Cang¡¯s kick awakened her will of fighting.
¡°Let me go!¡±
After applying the cream, Guli felt a lot morefortable. She pushed Long Duo away and strode towards Murong Qi Qi. She raised her chin and looked contemptuously at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Hey! You, I want to challenge you!¡±
After these words, the originally lively Cymen suddenly quieted down.
Ah, there¡¯s a y to watch! Jia Lan smiled, poured wine in his cup and brought it to his lips. Guli certainly took a fancy to Feng Cang. Knowing that Feng Cang was too powerful, she picked another soft person to pinch. So, she started with Murong Qi Qi.
It¡¯s just that, don¡¯t know if this Murong Qi Qi would ept Guli¡¯s challenge or not. It¡¯s said that this princess Zhao Yang can¡¯t do anything. What will she do now?
¡°Wangye1......¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled while leaning against Feng Cang. Her voice was very soft, making the hearts of the people who heard it itchy.
¡°I¡¯ve long heard that wangye¡¯s skills are very good. Today, I saw it. Wangye is indeed powerful. Obviously, you kicked her chest, so why did her brain also be abnormal? Could this be the kungfu from the legends?¡±
The people who heard it immediately covered their mouths andughed. This princess Zhao Yang is very cute! She actually said her brain was not good. Even making fun of people, she didn¡¯t need to beat around the bush like this, ah!
¡°Whose brain did you say is abnormal?!¡±
The moment Guli heard that, she got furious and red fiercely at Murong Qi Qi. The more she (G) looked at her (MQQ), the more she (G) felt that she¡¯s (MQQ) a thorn in the eye.
¡°Ah, indeed abnormal. Doesn¡¯t even know who I¡¯m talking about. It seems that we need to quickly find a doctor toe take a look at you. If it¡¯s toote, the brain will be crazy, then miss will be someone with big breasts but no brain.¡±
¡°Hehe......,¡± It¡¯s the first time Feng Cang encountered Murong Qi Qi¡¯s poisonous tongue. Obviously, he¡¯s very satisfied with such a Murong Qi Qi. Previously, he only knew that Jin Mo had a poisonous tongue. He didn¡¯t expect his little wangfei2 would also be this eloquent.
¡°You¡¯re right, she¡¯s indeed nuts.¡±
One sentence from Feng Cang shot Guli tightly. Now, Guli had finally be aware of a problem. That is, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s position in Feng Cang¡¯s heart was not trivial. Even if this woman was only ordinary, but she still upied the heart of this man. This was a difficult problem.
However, Guli was self-confident. If there weren¡¯t a thousand men who sumbed at her skirts, there would be eight hundred. What kind of hard-boned man hadn¡¯t she gnawed? She didn¡¯t believe that with her tactics, she wouldn¡¯t be able to let Feng Cang surrender.
¡°Miss¡¯s mouth is very powerful, don¡¯t know if how miss¡¯s kungfu is. Nan Lin wang is a dragon among people. Don¡¯t know if miss has the ability to fit him! If you don¡¯t have the ability, then don¡¯t block my road. Today, I, Guli will put the words out there. I fell for Nan Lin wang at first sight. I want to pursue him. If you like, you and I canpete fairly and let everyone¡¯s presence be a witness!¡±
Guli¡¯s eyes, full of possessiveness, made Murong Qi Qi chuckle. It seemed that this woman really didn¡¯t want to give up. Humph. Even dared to covet her man, don¡¯t she want to live anymore?!
¡°Wangye, what should I do?! She¡¯s really not pleasing to the eyes!¡±
Murong Qi Qi slipped her hand into Feng Cang¡¯s arm. She put the left hand in Feng Cang¡¯s palm, pressing down his anger that was about to burst.
This man wanted toe forward for her and was pampering her. Murong Qi Qi was very moved, but she stayed silent for a long time. It¡¯s time to express herself to let those people see and get to know their ce.
¡°She challenged me. If I don¡¯t ept it, isn¡¯t it like handing wangye over for free? Wangye, why don¡¯t I tackle this difficult job andpete with her? If I win, of course wangye will get face. If by chance I lose, wangye also shouldn¡¯t go away with any strange sister, yo! Especially those sisters who like to seduce. Who knows what kind of problems they have; for example, sexually transmitted diseases......¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi talk like that Feng Cangughed charmingly. Before, Jin Mo mentioned that Murong Qi Qi was not as ipetent as she looked like. Jin Mo didn¡¯t say the specifics and Feng Cang also didn¡¯t ask further. However, Jin Mo saying that, Feng Cang believed Murong Qi Qi must have some things out of the ordinary which she kept hidden.
At this point, Murong Qi Qi became more eloquent and her gaze also became more prating, making Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but think back about the gaze Murong Qi Qi had at that time, when she had discovered someone next to her when she woke up. How could someone weak without power have that kind of murderous aura? It seemed that this little woman had many secrets. Today, she took the initiative to announce it.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®seduce¡¯ forcefully wrote down Guli¡¯s image. Although Guli and Murong Qi Qi were both dressed in red; but on Murong Qi Qi, it looked very lively and on Guli, it looked charming and full of temptation. It felt like those prostitutes in brothels.
¡°Pu......¡±
Longze Jing Tian, who was sitting at one side drinking tea, spat his tea out. Sexually transmitted diseases? Murong Qi Qi knows about sexual transmitted diseases? Where did she, ady, hear about this?!
Hearing ¡®sexually transmitted disease¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi, almost made everyone faint. This princess Zhao Yang is too direct......
However, her words made it like this was real, making everyone¡¯s eyes lock onto Guli¡¯s body. Zeze, the more they looked, the more she felt like a prostitute. The more they looked, the more she seemed to have a problem! In the minds of these imaginative people, appeared an image of Guli having pleasure beneath a man......
¡°What are you looking at?! If you continue to look, I¡¯ll dig your eyes out!¡±
Aware of those unscrupulous eyes going up and down on her body, Guli ferociously swept around and used a strong lethal gaze to let everyone retreat.
If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Cang was here, Guli wouldn¡¯t be able to help herself from killing Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s just, this man was here. He would certainly protect her. She couldn¡¯t let her image in Feng Cang¡¯s heart turn bad just because of a bitch. So, she held her anger down.
¡°Good! Since you have epted, then please!¡±
Guli made an invitation posture.
¡°Literary challenge or martial arts challenge, you can decide!¡±
Literary challenge was punching and kicking. Martial arts challenge was about using the inner energy.
¡°Let¡¯s forget it today! You¡¯re hurt. I can¡¯t take advantage of you. When your injury is healed, thene look for me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head and was very sympathetic towards Guli, but she was directly rejected by Guli.
¡°It¡¯s just a small injury, not a serious problem. But you, could it be that you¡¯re afraid?!¡±
Guli was a contestant of Nan Feng. Naturally, she didn¡¯t know the rumors about Murong Qi Qi. However, the citizens of Bei Zhou were now beginning to be worried for Murong Qi Qi. Everyone knew that this princess Zhao Yang didn¡¯t know martial arts. If they reallypete, then wouldn¡¯t she definitely lose?!
Encountering such a thing, Murong Qing Lian was the happiest. Murong Qi Qi relied on Feng Cang¡¯s love to act so arrogantly. She really should be taught a lesson! Thinking till here, Murong Qing Lian pretended to worry: ¡°Big sister, you simply don¡¯t have any martial arts. It¡¯s better to give up on this challenge. Forget about it!¡±
Hearing Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words, Guli immediately understood. A rubbish with no martial arts? Just now, she was still so arrogant?! No wonder she didn¡¯t want topete. On the surface, she said such beautiful words and was thinking for Guli, saying it so high-sounding; when in fact, it¡¯s because she¡¯s a rubbish and couldn¡¯t get real with her (Guli)!
After knowing the ¡®truth¡¯, how could Guli let go of such a good opportunity? Although she was indeed injured, but dealing with a mere rubbish, it¡¯s more than enough.
¡°Can¡¯t! Just now, she already epted. How could she go back on her words? Could it be Feng Cang¡¯s woman is a liar and also ipetent?!¡±
Guli broke her brains trying to find the most insidiousnguage that would dig at Murong Qi Qi. Originally, she thought that she would see a face full of fear from Murong Qi Qi after the truth was exposed. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi wouldugh.
Although her looks were ordinary, but have to say, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile was full of sunlight like a warmth in the winter days, making the hearts of the people skip a beat.
¡°Since you insist, then I¡¯ve no problem, but I have a request!¡±
¡°Say it!¡±
Murong Qi Qi epting was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. It¡¯s just a rubbish being sent to the door; to the mouth, how could it not be ughter?!
¡°You want to insist. If I don¡¯t give you your wish, then it¡¯s looking down and bullying you. So, I need to give you this face.¡±
¡°However, in a few days, it¡¯s the tournament of the four countries. Since you¡¯re a contestant; if you waste your inner energy, won¡¯t it let Nan Feng lose effectiveness inbat? Inevitably, people will gossip about my Bei Zhou then. So, for fairness, I feel it¡¯s better to challenge in literary! Also, we need to sign an agreement indicating that this is a private duel and has nothing to do with the countries.¡±
Murong Qi Qi thought very thoroughly about it. Now, the four countries had already arrived at Yongzhou. If something happened to a contestant of Nan Feng, there might be people who would make a fuss about it. Feng Cang nodded as if approving Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words.
Guli had also considered what Murong Qi Qi said. This time, she came to get first ce for Nan Feng. By then, not only would she be very well regarded; when she goes back, the emperor would also heavily reward her. If she now wastes her energy on this rubbish Murong Qi Qi, it¡¯s indeed not worth it.
¡°Literary challenge is fine, signing an agreement is fine, but I want to sign an agreement between life and death!¡±
¡°Agreement between life and death!¡±
Bai Yi Yue couldn¡¯t help herself from eximing. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t seem surprised. She nodded and epted.
Agreement between life and death. As the name implied, the parties won¡¯t give up or stop the duel until one of them was dead. In ordinary duels, as long as one of the parties admit defeat, it would be alright, but an agreement between life and death meant that no one would stop until someone dies. Only one person can stay alive.
In everyone¡¯s eyes, Guli¡¯s condition was really too harsh. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t even know martial arts, isn¡¯t this like forcing someone?! Could it be she wanted to take this opportunity to kill Murong Qi Qi?
Feng Cang¡¯s red lips were now also in a tight line. Although Murong Qi Qi gave him an assuring gaze, he still couldn¡¯t help but worry.
Even if the two signed an agreement between life and death, even if Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯tpare to Guli, saving her is an easy matter. However, knives don¡¯t have eyes. If before this, Guli hurt Murong Qi Qi, then what should he do?
Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any interest in Guli. She¡¯s just a slut. Killing her would be as easy as trampling an ant. Feng Cang was only concerned about Murong Qi Qi. If she became injured, even if it¡¯s only scratching the skin, he didn¡¯t know how bad he would feel.
¡°Wangye, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m fine.¡±
Sensing Feng Cang be worried, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand wrote the word ¡®heart¡¯ on his palm.
¡°Always, it has been wangye who protected me. I¡¯m very grateful. But today¡¯s matter involves wangye, I can¡¯t hide behind wangye anymore. She¡¯s being so aggressive, really looks down on people! Besides, my heart has wangye, I won¡¯t surrender wangye freely to another. So, I won¡¯t refuse this duel. However, wangye can be at ease. When I was in Jing Xin An, a master has taught me a thing or two. Although, it can¡¯t bepared to those who have practiced for many years, but protecting myself is no problem!¡±
Murong Qi Qi said it very reservedly, but Feng Cang could see the intention to kill in her eyes. Suddenly, the tension in his heart rxed by half.
Could it be that his little wangfei had been enduring because nobody forced her too much?
Murong Qi Qi saying that she won¡¯t surrender him freely to another, made Feng Cang heart feel as sweet as eating candied fruit. It seemed, she did it for him, ah! This little woman¡¯s possessiveness was really strong. If it wasn¡¯t because Guli forced her today, presumably she would have continued to pretend to be a small white rabbit! He had long wondered why the little white rabbit Murong Qi Qi would asionally have the gaze of a leopard. It seemed that she even kept it from him!
¡°Qing Qing, I believe you.¡±
Feng Cang let people prepare ink and paper. He personally wrote the agreement and handed it to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Qing Qing, sign your name!¡±
¡°No!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang like this, Longze Jing Tian blocked loudly and stood up.
¡°Nan Lin wang, princess Zhao Yang doesn¡¯t how to use martial arts and also doesn¡¯t know martial arts. You obviously know this, so why do you still push her out to duel with somebody? Isn¡¯t this equal to letting her go die?!¡±
Before, when Longze Jing Tian saw Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s interaction, his heart choked badly. Obviously, the one standing at her side should be him, why did it now change to Feng Cang? Why?!
Whenever he thought about before, when Jin Mo let Longze Jing Tian misunderstand Murong Qi Qi and let him write the ¡®break off engagement¡¯ letter, he would get very annoyed. And then after remembering Jin Mo was Feng Cang¡¯s subordinate, this matter probably had something to do with Feng Cang; the question that had troubled Longze Jing Tian finally got an answer.
Why was Jin Mo at Xi Qi¡¯s capital Xiliang at that time? Why did Jin Mo pretend to be Lian gongzi3 and went to treat Duanmu Yi Yi? Could it be that the one behind it was Feng Cang?! Longze Jing Tian¡¯s mind was rapidly turning at this moment. If all of these was ordered by Feng Cang, then what motive did Feng Cang have? Could it be just to let him break off the engagement and get Murong Qi Qi?
However, time didn¡¯t allow Longze Jing Tian to think more about the motive. Seeing Feng Cang let Murong Qi Qi sign the agreement, Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. He stood up to protest fairness for Murong Qi Qi.
In Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes; at this time, Murong Qi Qi needed someone¡¯s protection the most.
What ¡®learned a thing or two from a master¡¯? Could that thing or two bepared to Guli?! Others may not know about this Guli, but Longze Jing Tian knew.
This woman¡¯s name was very infamous in Nan Feng because of her unrestrained behavior. She liked men and her methods were very vicious. She had been given the nickname ¡®witch Guli¡¯. Whichever man she took a fancy to, she would use all methods to get him. If she couldn¡¯t get him, she¡¯d kill him in a cruel manner. Today, she had set her eyes on Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi is obviously at disadvantage, ah!
Now letting Murong Qi Qi duel with Guli, was it not like an egg touching a stone?!
¡°Qi Qi, do not participate in this duel!¡±
Longze Jing Tian stood between Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. He red at Feng Cang.
¡°Nan Lin wang, my Xi Qi sent princess Zhao Yang with the sincerity to form a marriage alliance. But you repeatedly made things difficult for princess Zhao Yang. Now, you¡¯re pushing princess Zhao Yang into a pit of fire, what does your Bei Zhou mean by that?¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t want to form a marriage alliance, you can just say so. We¡¯ll certainly bring princess Zhao Yang back. Why do you need to push princess Zhao Yang onto the road of death?! Letting princess Zhao Yang duel with a contestant of the tournament of the four countries, a duel between life and death at that; could it be that Nan Lin wang is borrowing someone else¡¯s sword to kill?!¡±
Longze Jing Tian said those words very righteously, but it made Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi frown.
In Murong Qi Qi¡¯s point of view, this Longze Jing Tian¡¯s brain definitely went into water and has problems to be saying those strange words. Did he regard himself as the wearing underwear on the outside Superman?
Putting on a morally stern face. She wasn¡¯t a princess who fell into the mouth of a monster and waiting for a knight toe save her. She didn¡¯t need Longze Jing Tian to speak out for her. And what is borrowing someone¡¯s else sword to kill? These words were very hard to listen to! Really giving a dog a bad name and then hanging him.
Giving a dog a bad name and then hanging him: ruin someone¡¯s reputation and they will never be able to re-establish themselves.
And Feng Cang, the vinegar jar in his heart had just been knocked over.
Eating vinegar in Chinese means getting jealous.
From the moment Longze Jing Tian appeared, he (FC) felt the way this man looked at Murong Qi Qi was very different. As a man, meeting a woman he liked and how he looked at her, Feng Cang had already experienced it. So, he understood.
Although Li Yun Qing¡¯s gaze was also not right, but he didn¡¯t express it. Longze Jing Tian looked like someone who had their favorite toy taken away and was now feeling regret. There¡¯s a strong predatory taste. It¡¯s a gaze of when a hunter encountered a prey! Could it be that he regretted it? However, now Murong Qi Qi was his wangfei. This shameless person. He wanted to incite disharmony in their rtionship!
TL note: At first, I thought a literary challenge was likepeting with poems or something like that. But it turned out that literary challenge was also about fighting. The only difference is that literary challenge doesn¡¯t use inner energy and martial arts challenge does.
Chapter 86 The duel of life and death (2)
Chapter 86 The duel of life and death (2)
Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to say more nonsense, Feng Cang gave him who was standing in the middle, a kick and pulled Murong Qi Qi into his arms. He used action to show ownership of this woman.
¡°Jing wang, please mind your words a bit. First of all, princess Zhao Yang is benwang¡¯s wangfei. This fact will never change. Benwang will cherish her like how I cherish my eyes. Don¡¯t need you to worry about it. Second, this is princess Zhao Yang¡¯s and Guli¡¯s duel. Benwang as princess Zhao Yang¡¯s husband will wholeheartedly support and believe her. Benwang won¡¯t doubt any decision princess Zhao Yang makes. Third, no matter how benwang is, Jing wang can¡¯t control it. She is benwang¡¯s wangfei. Jing wang, please remember your identity.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words were overbearing and arrogant. Immediately, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expression turned bad. However, what can he do? It¡¯s him who gave up on Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s he who personally pushed Murong Qi Qi to others. All faulty on him and has nothing to do with others.
It¡¯s just, he couldn¡¯t ept it, he just couldn¡¯t ept it!
The strange atmosphere between the two wang¡¯s spread out. A smoke of a fight will break out made the whole scene exceptionally quiet. Everyone stared at Feng Cang and Longze Jing Tian.
These two, one is Bei Zhou¡¯s Nan Lin wang; the other is Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang. Their rtion became so troubled, was actually because of princess Zhao Yang, making everyone¡¯s gaze once again fell onto Murong Qi Qi.
Features are ordinary, medium pretty. What does she have to let two of the world¡¯s most outstanding men have a dispute because of her? Could it be that now the taste of men changed? Now they like the ones like Murong Qi Qi?
The people at the scene have heard about the matter of Murong Qi Qi being rejected. It¡¯s this Jing wang who wrote the breaking engagement letter. But now looking at him, could he has regretted? However, in the world there¡¯s no medicine for regret! Not to mention, everyone could see the love in Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. What did Longze Jing Tian mean by this? Want to nder Feng Cang¡¯s reputation to get the beauty¡¯s heart? This thing is not easy to handle!
The atmosphere became awkward because of the two¡¯s dispute. Just as when everyone was waiting to see how Longze Jing Tian will continue to ¡®protect¡¯ Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi kowtowed slightly at Longze Jing Tian: ¡°Thanking Jing wang for your care! It¡¯s just I epted this duel willingly and has nothing to do with wangye. Asking Jing wang to not misunderstand wangye because of me.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude was very clear. Every sentence was protecting Feng Cang. The tangling hearts of themoners were nowpletely rxed. That¡¯s right! No matter how good Jing wang is, how could he be better than their wangye?! Princess Zhao Yang has good eyes!
Everyone forgot about those rumors of Feng Cang. To the people, this is a battle for princess Zhao Yang¡¯s hand between Bei Zhou¡¯s and Xi Qi¡¯s wangye. As Bei Zhou¡¯s citizens, naturally they hope Feng Cang wins. This is now rted to the nation¡¯s sense of honor. And now, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s resolute attitude made the good feelings people have for her went to a level higher!
The battle between the two men ended with Feng Cang winning the beauty! The couple, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, already got the recognition of the people. And this, made Guli extremely upset. She couldn¡¯t help but knock on the table with the hilt of her dagger.
¡°Hey, hey, hey, are we still dueling or not? Don¡¯t waste my time!¡±
¡°Duel,¡± Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi said at the same time. Murong Qi Qi signed her name and put a thump print on the life and death agreement. Then she handed the agreement at Guli. Guli swept over it once and humphed coldly. She also wrote her name and put her print on it.
¡°Let¡¯s go out and duel. Here, there are too many people and the ce is too narrow. It won¡¯t be good if we injure an innocent person.¡±
After saying that, Murong Qi Qi walked to the outside. Guli has no requirements for the site, so she also went out.
Princess Zhao Yang and Nan Feng¡¯s participant would duel spread throughout Cymen and the surroundings shop. Everyone flicked to the streets to watch. looking at the two women in red, themoners began to talk about them.
¡°I heard princess Zhao Yang doesn¡¯t know martial arts. Now she signed the agreement between life and death, what will she doter? Is there now not only death waiting for her?¡±
¡°Wangye finally encountered a woman he loves, how would he let something happen to her?! Rest assured, wangye will certainly help her!¡±
¡°Although princess Zhao Yang is not as beautiful as that prostitute, but she¡¯s more pleasing to the eyes. I still hope princess Zhao Yang wins!¡±
Guli¡¯s hearing is not bad. Obviously, the evaluation the people has for Murong Qi Qi was higher than hers. Also, there were some people wishing for Murong Qi Qi to win. This point let her particrly not happy. How could she lost to a rubbish?! Absolutely impossible!
The streets were covered with a thickyer of snow. Murong Qi Qi and Guli were only ten meters apart. Both were in red. However, Guli looked hot and seductive, while Murong Qi Qi looked like a red flower in the snow with a very noble aura.
¡°Silence......¡±
A long voice let all the onlookers quieted down. The duel was about to begin. Everyone¡¯s heart was like in their throats and wanted to see what the result of this duel will be. Although everyone hoped for Murong Qi Qi to win, but the reality was not controlled by people¡¯s mind.
Guli¡¯s weapon is a two-edged sword which was ck without a trace of decoration. It¡¯s a very good sword. And Murong Qi Qi¡¯s weapon was just a red muslin.
When Murong Qi Qi took out her weapon, everyone was startled.
The opponent is using a good sword, why did Murong Qi Qi came out with a red muslin? Can this soft muslin be able to withstand a sword?
¡°Ah......¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®weapon¡¯, Guliughed.
¡°Lady, this is a duel and not a dance show. You came up with a muslin; is it that you are half-heartedly having this duel or is it that you¡¯re ying a joke on me?¡±
¡°Just now, I said your head has a problem, it indeed has a problem! Being halfhearted or ying a joke, is this not in your advantage?! Dealing with you, a big breasted without brain milk cow, I only need to think with my toes. Taking a weapon out will be like lifting your level up!¡±
¡°You!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s poisonous tongue let Guli choke.
¡°Very well! I will see if you¡¯ve real ability or not!¡±
A breeze passed. Guli like a red frog stepping on the snow, went up at Murong Qi Qi. That ck sword against the snow background truly have a cold aura. The first attack was already explosive strong. Everyone¡¯s heart temporarily stopped beating. This is bad! This time princess Zhao Yang be ruined!
Everyone was worried about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safety, but this woman didn¡¯t move a bit. She stood quietly on the snow as if she isn¡¯t aware of the danger.
¡°Be careful......,¡± Li Yun Qing couldn¡¯t help but shout. It¡¯s just that his voice just fell, Guli was already in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Ah......,¡± Seeing that Murong Qi Qi still didn¡¯t dodge, Guliughed evilly. Like this, she will get her head with one stroke! Let this arrogant woman go meet the king of hell.
¡°Go die!¡±
Not waiting for Guli to finish, Murong Qi Qi moved sideways and went through Guli¡¯s empty left hand to Guli¡¯s back. The person who was in front of her just now, suddenly disappeared made Guli¡¯s heart startled. Then she felt pan at her butt. Murong Qi Qi directly kicked at her rounded butt. This kick was extremely neat and the power was violent. Guli staggered and fell on the ground with her face down.
¡°The first strike, kick the evil dog!¡±
Murong Qi Qi pped and put her hands on her waist. Her appearance looked cute as if she didn¡¯t see Guli¡¯s embarrassment.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Guli fell very tragically and the name Murong Qi Qi gave this strike was extremely funny. The people whose heart was originally hanging,ughed out loudly. Immediately, the atmosphere eased down.
¡°Ah!¡±
Li Yun Qingughed while shaking his head. How could he has forgotten that this girl¡¯s kungfu on kicking people is very good? In the past, she kicked Duanmu Yi Yi in theke. He didn¡¯t expect that now she will resort to this at her first stroke.
It¡¯s just, is that stroke really that simple? At that moment, they were so close. She shed to Guli¡¯s back with such a speed and also used such a strength to kick the other side; is this Murong Qi Qi really someone who doesn¡¯t even have the strength to trust a chicken? The doubts in Li Yun Qing¡¯s heart once again expanded. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi became more profound.
¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡±
Guli drank a mouthful of blood. She stood up and immediately spit it out. However, the face because of the violent collision with the ground, became very red. It looked like there was a red biscuit hanging on her face. It looked very funny and her appearance reduced with five points. And at her naval cavity, she felt two stream of warmth. The next moment, two rows of nosebleed sprayed out tainting her lips and chin.
¡°Are you really a contestant of Nan Feng? Howe you are so useless? You didn¡¯t use bribery to be a contestant, right? You bragged so much, but in fact you are not much, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took the opportunity to be sarcastic at Guli, making Guli so angry her whole body trembled. She wiped the blood on her nose, pulled two clothes to plug in her nose. The sword in her hand once again raised.
¡°Bitch! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
Guli jumped. The sword in her hand stabbed in the direction of Murong Qi Qi. She looked like a red arc in a painting, rushing at Murong Qi Qi. However, she didn¡¯t get near to Murong Qi Qi yet, when Murong Qi Qi turned, stepped on the snow and left the dangerous ce.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s posture was very light. The jump looking like a running deer in the wilderness. The murderous aura in Guli intensified. That red figure chased after Murong Qi Qi, pressing harder and harder.
Two red dots like a race, chased in the snow. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t fight, so Guli could only chase. Murong Qi Qi seemed to be deliberately teasing Guli. She went around a circle in the snow repeatedly. She only dodged. From time to time, in the air came theughter of Murong Qi Qi with was like music as if this wasn¡¯t a life and death duel but a y of catch me if you can.
¡°Till when do you want to dodge?! If you have the guts, then duel with me!¡±
Although Guli practice martial arts and she has a good condition, but after running in a circle for a dozen times, she was sure Murong Qi Qi was ying with her. She¡¯s clearly dying time and didn¡¯t want to fight with her!
After tenps, plus the fact that her rib was broken by Feng Cang, Guli¡¯s breathing obviously became a lot shorter. She kept breathing and the chest also felt painful because of this. Despicable! Looking at the not far awayughing Murong Qi Qi, Guli cursed in her heart. She (MQQ) obviously knew her rib was broken and need a quick fix, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t fight with her. Instead, she (MQQ) consumed her (G) physical strength. Really too despicable!
The tactic that was despicable in Guli¡¯s heart, when they entered Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, it became appreciation.
Waste the other party¡¯s strength. When the other party is so exhausted, kill her with one move. This is indeed the best way. Feng Cang didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi will use the tactic on chess in an actual duel. Really a smart little woman! The way Feng Cang looked at Murong Qi Qi became gentler.
Now, Guli was panting. Every time, she breathed, her chest will be badly in pain. Really a despicable viin! Guli gritted her teeth and looked at Murong Qi Qi.
Seeing the expression of wanting to eat someone on Guli¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qiughed.
¡°Yo, what¡¯s the matter? Exhausted? Just now who wanted to duel with me so much? Howe now, we haven¡¯t even warmed up, you¡¯re already tired? How can this be, ah?! I still have one hundred and eighty strokes which I didn¡¯t show yet! You need to stay alive till that time, ah!¡±
¡°Cough, cough!¡±
Ruyi stood behind Feng Cang and almost choked. Who said wangfei is gentle and pleasant, dignified and virtuous? Such a poisonous tongue, even going beyond Jin Mo. Who has taught wangfei such eloquence?!
¡°F**** your mother!¡±
Finally, Guli burst out foulnguage.
¡°The one who will die here today, will be you! I took a fancy on Feng Cang! When you¡¯re dead, I will serve Feng Cang in your ce! No man will like those like you without butt and without breast! I will certainly serve him well till he¡¯s happy and let him immediately forget about you!¡±
Long Duo at a side saw Guli lose control like that, he frowned. Howe Guli is so easily angered? Could it be she doesn¡¯t know that being angry is the biggest taboo of a duel?! Although Murong Qi Qi still didn¡¯t show her ability, but someone who knows to dy time, how could she be the rubbish from the rumors?!
¡°Go quickly and find young master Hn! Say something happened to Guli and is waiting for young master toe and help!¡±
Long Duo ordered the subordinate next to him. That man immediately flew away from the duel site.
Guli said so many big words to anger Murong Qi Qi and let her give up on running into circles to fight with her. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi truly stopped and walked step by step towards her (G).
It¡¯s just, why did Guli feel now that Murong Qi Qi is somewhat different? She changed herughing expression. Her whole expression turned cold and the cold aura emitting from Murong Qi Qi made Guli very shocked. Such an aura, could she really be an ordinary person?
Originally, Murong Qi Qi wanted to y a bit more with Guli and exhaust her. Then take her life. She didn¡¯t think that she¡¯ll (G) pull Feng Cang inside this, made Murong Qi Qi very unhappy. Her man can only be hers, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s! The other party not only want her man, but also want to take her position. This was something Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t tolerate.
Guli didn¡¯t know she touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bottom line. Seeing Murong Qi Qiing at her, she also prepared to fight. She intended to take down Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head. She didn¡¯t expect Murong Qi Qi to leap up and the red muslin in her hand waved. She was like the ninth fairying down at earth in front of her (G).
¡°Guli, dodge!¡±
Only when Long Duo¡¯s voice reached over, did Guli awaken from the surprise. She was toote to dodge. So, she could only fell sideways on the ground and rolled to a safe ce.
¡®Pa!¡¯
The red muslin hit the ground. The snowkes sshed, revealing the original ck paving b.
¡®Kacha!¡¯
The b cracked.
¡®Kaka!¡¯
The crack became bigger and the whole stone crushed into powder.
Shock! Everyone looked foolishly at that aloof woman. Only a red muslin was able to burst out such a powerful force? If it fell onto a person¡¯s body......everyone couldn¡¯t help but lookpassionate at Guli. Fortunately, this woman dodged fast, otherwise, she would¡¯ve been seriously injured.
The breaking of the b also let Guli shiver. What kind of horrifying force is this? Her (MQQ) didn¡¯t have any inner energy. Howe she has such a powerful force to actually crush the b of the road? The thought that if it wasn¡¯t because of Long Duo¡¯s reminder, all her bones would¡¯ve been crushed, Guli¡¯s whole body shivered. Her vignce also increased to the highest level.
¡°Ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give Guli the opportunity to breathe. That red muslin seemed toe to life in her hands. It danced in the sky. And Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feminine body was enveloped in the red muslin. On the white snow, a beauty in red danced with the red muslin. Dancing as if she came from a beautiful painting in front of everyone.
Very beautiful......Li Yun Qing was dazed. He couldn¡¯t help but take out his jade flute and yed the song .
Murong Qi Qi followed the music and danced with the beat. In the sky, the long red muslin make a beautiful picture. The next moment, the red muslin fell next to Guli. Like the previous time, the stone b cracked and crushed into powder. The gentle and beautiful scene was gone and revealed a sharp murderous aura.
Guli dodged in a sorry state on the snow. The red muslin in Murong Qi Qi seemed to have wings and repeatedly flew at her. No matter where she falls, the red muslin will chase immediately. Not a bit at a side, it just hit the ce where she was standing, making it so she couldn¡¯t help but ¡®escape¡¯.
Suddenly it began to snow. This little bit of white made the woman dancing in the snow livelier. Her face had a gentle smile and danced a moving dance on the snow, but the force in her hand didn¡¯t lessen a bit. She pressed harder and harder, making it so that there¡¯s no way for Guli to escape anymore.
The people forgot that this is a duel between life and death. Everyone was immersed in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wonderful dance. White snow, red soul and that essence of the red soul is that dancing woman.
She looked like a fairy who fell into the mortal world. Because of the greed for the earthly good, she forgot to return to heaven. She danced and used that piece of red muslin to tell her fondness of the world. What a wonderful woman! Inside everyone¡¯s heart rose such a thought. They all looked quietly at Murong Qi Qi and didn¡¯t dare to make a sound as if, if they made a sound they will alert that fairy.
The only person who felt bitterness was Guli. The eyes of the people were gentle and pure. The fairy like Murong Qi Qi was a demon in her eyes. This woman didn¡¯t intend to leave her a wat of life. Everywhere, where she stood has been hit by the red muslin in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. All those bs turned into pieces. How brutal is this force? How terrifying!
To be able to operate such a soft muslin and using this soft muslin to burst such a force, is this woman really the rubbish who doesn¡¯t know martial arts from the rumors?!
At this time, Li Yun Qing¡¯s sound of the flute became higher. And the red muslin in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand suddenly exuded a ferocious murderous aura.
This is bad! Guli was shocked.
Chapter 87 The shy Nan Lin Wang (1)
Chapter 87 The shy Nan Lin Wang (1)
A red muslin like a belt demanding her life went straight at Guli.
At this time, Guli¡¯s chest was in an unbearable pain. Because she was busy dodging and because of the broken rib wasn¡¯t treated, now the rib seems to have dislocated. It stabbed in her chest; so painful that it made her whole body full of cold sweats. Obviously, she saw the red muslin in front of her, but she wasn¡¯t able to dodge it.
The red muslin wrapped around Guli¡¯s left and right hand. Guli couldn¡¯t unwrap it. Twice there was a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound. Guli¡¯s wrist has been broken by the red muslin.
¡°Ah......,¡± a shrill scream almost made the people became deaf. Those who were timid simply covered their eyes and only peeked through their fingers.
Murong Qi Qi was not satisfied with only breaking Guli¡¯s hands. The red muslin wrapped around Guli¡¯s feet. Again a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound was heard twice. Guli¡¯s ankles have been crushed by the red muslin.
Broken......Long Duo¡¯s heart trembled. Guli¡¯s limbs could be considered a waste now. From the sound, the bones were crushed into small pieces of bones. Even if they find the best doctor, he won¡¯t be able to treat her.
Looking the horror on Guli¡¯s face and the cold sweats on her forehead, Long Duo shook his head. Although this woman is domineering and have a bit of a vicious heart, but after all she¡¯s Nan Feng¡¯s citizen. Now, she became like this. Long Duo could only say Guli didn¡¯t have eyes to have messed with a seemingly unremarkable, but in fact is hidden very deep woman.
However, the shock Murong Qi Qi brought Long Duo was bigger. Just now, he has been watching Murong Qi Qi and didn¡¯t let go of any fragment. This Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t use any inner energy, but the moves she put out were so vicious. Every one of them was deadly.
Long Duo was keenly aware that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to take Guli¡¯s life so quick. No matter if it was the cat and mouse game at the beginning or the eye-catching danceter, if Murong Qi Qi really wanted Guli¡¯s life, then the red muslin won¡¯t fell on the b next to Guli every time.
With her control over the strength of the red muslin, her uracy should also be very good. This Murong Qi Qi wanted to continue y with Guli, exhaust her and then torture her.
Having these made clear, Long Duo couldn¡¯t help but shudder. The eyes looking at Murong Qi Qi have a trace of fear. In his heart, he already determined that Guli lost and she lost very miserably. No matter if it was Murong Qi Qi who retreated first to stimte Guli, made Guli sign the life and death agreement or the y oftter, she had Guli eating out of her palms. It¡¯s just till now Guli still hasn¡¯t woken up. Really sad......
Although in his mind, he made these things clear, but Long Duo didn¡¯t intend to help. This is Guli and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s life and death agreement. If he intervened, would It not be like offending Nan Lin wang? Moreover, they are both contestants. Without a Guli, is the same as one lesspetitor.
This time the imperial noble concubine took the tournament between the four countries very seriously. The reward is also very high. If they really win, would this not mean one more person to split the reward? Thinking till here, Long Duo continued to watch the y at a side.
¡°If you have the guts, then kill me! If you have the guts, then kill me!¡±
Big drops of cold sweat rolled from Guli¡¯s forehead, but her eyes didn¡¯t show cowardice because of this. Instead, she was like a poisonous snake full of hate.
¡°Letting me live, I¡¯ll surely not let you off! I took a fancy on your man and won¡¯t let go! Kill me, otherwise you¡¯ll die!¡±
Guli¡¯s sharp voice sounded extraordinary mournful on this cold duel site.
¡°I, Guli Nig vow in the name of the ancestors, if I stay alive, I¡¯ll definitely let this woman feel that living is more painful than death! Living is more painful than death!¡±
¡°Humph! Death is near at hand, you still have such a resolute mouth!¡±
Murong Qi Qi humphed once and the red muslin in her hand was like a red snake wrapping around Guli¡¯s neck. She was just about to make her move, when she heard a shout ¡°please spare the person!¡± followed by three plum dart going straight at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face.
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang shouted and then a big cloak protected Murong Qi. The cloak waved once, a strong wind came and go, the plum darts were knocked to the ground.
¡°Guli! Guli, how are you?¡±
A man in green raised Guli¡¯s head. Only now, did he see that Guli¡¯s wrists and ankles were broke.
¡°Young......young master, Guli fears that I won¡¯t be able to participate in the tournament anymore!¡±
Guli took big mouthfuls of breath. Blood gushed from her mouth making her chest red.
Hn Lian Yi came, Long Duo of course couldn¡¯t continue to hide. So, he also stepped forward.
¡°This miss, why did you need to use such a heavy hand on my people?¡±
After handing Guli over to Long Duo, Hn Lian Yi stood up. He turned and looked at Murong Qi Qi inside of Feng Cang¡¯s embrace.
¡°Self-defense.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer was very frank. Her eyes have been scanning Hn Lian Yi.
Handsome. He looked like a clean and refreshing man. It¡¯s just, don¡¯t know how his personality is. Hn Lian Yi is Nan Feng¡¯s imperial noble concubine Hn Min¡¯s nephew. The special ess pass of Nan Feng¡¯s You Yun states is in this person¡¯s hands.
From Xi Qi came the news that Ming Yue Chen disguised himself and hid among Nan Feng¡¯s missionaries. He followed them back to Nan Feng. Presumably, he¡¯ll take action one of these days.
¡°Self-defense?¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi said that, Hn Lian Yi sneered once.
¡°Miss said it so high-sounding! It¡¯s obviously you who hurt her, how could there be talk of self-defense?¡±
¡°It¡¯s her skills who is less than others! That¡¯s all.¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi being so rude, Hn Lian Yi still wanted to seek justice for Guli. Long Duo told him quickly what happened today.
¡°Agreement between life and death? Duel?¡±
Now Hn Lian Yi finally understood everything.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! Just now I didn¡¯t investigate the reason and med miss. I was too rash. I apologize to miss!¡±
While Hn Lian Yi was talking, he cupped his hands at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°It¡¯s just, Guli is already seriously injured. In the future, she¡¯ll also be a rubbish. Asking miss to have mercy and let Guli go!¡±
¡°Let go?¡±
Murong Qi Qi chuckled. Her fingers yed with the red muslin. Her mouth revealed a devilish beautiful smile.
¡°Young master Hn should care about yourself. Just now, you attacked bengong. What kind of punishment should you have?¡±
¡°Bengong?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s im made Hn Lian Yi frown. He didn¡¯t know what kind of superior person Murong Qi Qi is. Long Duo quickly told him everything he (LD) inquired about Murong Qi Qi.
Princess Zhao Yang?! Xi Qi¡¯s princes to form a marriage alliance with Feng Cang! Now that Hn Lian Yi understood, he somewhat regretted he took action. Even a fool could see Feng Cang¡¯s protectiveness towards Murong Qi Qi. Even though, he didn¡¯t hurt Murong Qi Qi, but after all, he attacked her. This is a troublesome matter......
¡°Guli signed an agreement between life and death with bengong. How forceful she was before, is how bengong pays her an eye for an eye back. So, this duel hasn¡¯t ended yet. Asking young master Hn to back off. That¡¯s first. Secondly, just now, young master Hn attacked me in public. Don¡¯t know what the reason behind for that is? Between bengong young master Hn are no ill feelings, but young master used such vicious attacks on me; could it be that Nan Feng wants to destroy the marriage alliance between Xi Qi and Bei Zhou? Is that why you wanted to kill bengong? To block the matter? Or is it that young master has another motive for this trip?¡±
Ruyi at a side wanted to shout and apud. Before, Jin Mo said this wangfei is a master at ying politics. He didn¡¯t expect that with only a few words, she involved Nan Feng in this matter. Really a genius, ah!
At this point, Longze Jing Tian regretted so much, his intestines turned blue! Why, why did he let Murong Qi Qi go? Just now, those attacks of Murong Qi Qi; how could those be just learned a few tricks? To be able to turn a soft red muslin into a fierce weapon; how is this as simple as learned a thing or two from a master?!
Moreover, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s performance and hermunication skills showed that she¡¯s a woman born for power! If he could get such a woman as wife, he¡¯ll be more powerful than heaving an army! Longze Jing Tian nowpletely regretted! Therefore, the desire to get Murong Qi Qi became more intense!
Hearing Murong Qi Qi, Hn Lian Yi almost vomited blood. Obviously, it was a simple ¡®saving person¡¯, from Murong Qi Qi it became a problem between countries! This woman looked petite and demure, but she let people unable to belittle her.
¡°Princess! Just now, I was indeed rude. However, all what happened was because of my anxiousness to save people and didn¡¯t find out the reason before taking action. It has nothing to do with Nan Feng and definitely doesn¡¯t have the intention to break the marriage alliance between Xi Qi and Bei Zhou. Now princess didn¡¯t suffer any loss and I know I was wrong. Asking princess to let this matter go!¡±
Hn Lian Yi bowed once again.
¡°What if I don¡¯t let the matter go?¡±
Murong Qi Qi yed with her jade like hand.
¡°I heard that young master Hn do business in the sixteen states of You Yun and the business is going very well!¡±
¡°Uh......¡±
Hn Lian Yi didn¡¯t understand why Murong Qi Qi suddenly pulled his business into this. So, he could only smile.
¡°It¡¯s just all because of the mighty imperial grace!¡±
¡°Young master Hn said this matter doesn¡¯t have anything to do with Nan Feng. Bengong doesn¡¯t believe it. Why doesn¡¯t young master Hn think for a moment and let bengong see your sincerity? Maybe then bengong will believe this matter has nothing to do with Nan Feng and that it is a misunderstanding.¡±
Shameless, ah! Ruyi bit his lips. He almost shouted.
Who said wangfei is gentle and pleasant, charming and virtuous?! Who said that?! That person¡¯s eyes definitely have a problem! Their wangfei extorted Hn Lian Yi in front of so many people and is obviously threatening him. Very outrageous!
Ruyi finally understood that him always being respectful towards Murong Qi Qi was a right decision. Its¡¯ difficult to raise a woman and vile character. Offending wangfei, such a little woman is the most frightening thing.
Hn Lian Yi became speechless. He has never seen a woman so shameless and who pester you so much. Is this not obviously intimidating him? Need to use money to seal her mouth, otherwise today¡¯s matter will rise and be a matter between countries! Then it¡¯s a diplomatic affair!
¡°Aiya, wangye, my chest hurt so badly! Certainly, it¡¯s because I was frightened just now. I was so frightened I got heart disease!¡±
Seeing Hn Lian Yi hesitate, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s legs suddenly lost strength. With one hand on her chest, she fell into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
Haha......Feng Cang¡¯s mouth twitched, but he still yed along.
¡°Qing Qing, what¡¯s the matter? Servants, summon the doctor! Quickly!¡±
From Feng Cang¡¯s point of view, if his woman wants to y, then let¡¯s y! Even if she yed till the other party dies, it doesn¡¯t matter. There¡¯s him to cover up. It¡¯s the best for a woman to be arrogant and rude. If she¡¯s obedient in front of other people, is that not obvious that she¡¯ll get bullied?!
Now, Feng Cang simply loved Murong Qi Qi very much. He likes such a personality from her very much! In front of him, she has always been a white rabbit. In front of other, she¡¯ll be a leopard who¡¯ll bully others without blinking an eye. Howe the more he looked at this woman, the more he likes her from the bottom of his heart?!
Although in his heart, he loved Murong Qi Qi very much, but his expression was very tense.
¡°Qing Qing, how do feel? Does it hurt very much? Rest assured, benwang will definitely let the culprit disappear without trace!¡±
Speaking till here, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes swept coldly over Hn Lian Yi¡¯s neck. A burst of coldness!
Hn Lian Yi swallowed his saliva with difficulty. In the past, he heard those stories about Feng Cang, but he himself didn¡¯t know much about this demon wang. Now meeting him, only a gaze from the other party was enough to let his heart give birth to rush of cowardice. It seems that today, he must loss money to prevent a disaster.
¡°Wangye, my chest hurts so much. To be able to cure this disease, not having hundred thousand golden teals, I fear it won¡¯t do. Cough, cough......¡±
Murong Qi Qi continued to act. The cough make her face red. Eyes brimming with tears, looking very pitifulpletely different from how she looked when she destroyed Guli.
¡°Hundred thousand,¡± Hn Lian Yi yelled. He knew this matter won¡¯t pass easily, but he didn¡¯t expect that the other party will have the appetite of a lion and wanted hundred thousand golden teals! This is not a small sum. This woman really dared to open her mouth to ask that!
¡°Cough, cough......I fear that if dying a bit more, even hundred thousand won¡¯t be enough to cure....... cough, cough......wangye, if something happens to me, you must not let Nan Feng off. You must get revenge for me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi rolled her eyes and fainted in Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Qing Qing! Qing Qing, how are you?! Why hasn¡¯t the doctor arrived yet?! Servants, put all of them in jail! If something happens to benwang¡¯s beloved consort, benwang will let Nan Feng go apany her!¡±
At this point, Hn Lian Yipletely fainted. And the eagle troop outside, immediately rushed in and surrounded Hn Lian Yi¡¯s group of people. They looked like they wanted to take them down.
¡°Wait!¡±
Hn Lian Yi gritted his teeth.
¡°I was reckless and frightened princess. Before dark, a hundred thousand golden teals will definitely be send. Asking princess to ept it!¡±
The corners of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, who was pretending to have fainted, revealed a smile of sess. Oh, attack her? You dare to attack then I¡¯ll let you bleed! Murong Qi Qi slightly squinted her eyes to threw a nce at Ruyi.
¡°There¡¯s no proof with only talking. Asking young master Hn to sign an IOU!¡±
Ruyi was very willing to do errands for Murong Qi Qi. He put ink, brush and paper in front of Hn Lian Yi.
¡°Could it be that in front of so many people, I can back off!¡±
Seeing the other party being like that, Hn Lian Yi¡¯s temper also came. He didn¡¯t expect that the moment he finished speaking, at the other side Feng Cang will again shout: ¡°Qing Qing, how are you feeling?¡±
Forget it! Today, he was too reckless and lost in in front of this couple! Hn Lian Yi didn¡¯t want to let people expand this matter infinitely. Everyone knows Bei Zhou¡¯s ¡®ambition of a wolf¡¯. If Feng Cang take this matter as excuse to send troops to Nan Feng, then won¡¯t he be the condemned one in Nan Feng¡¯s history!
Hn Lian Yi put the brush in the ink and wrote the IOU. He put his fingerprint on it.
¡°Is this alright?! Can I take Guli away now?!¡±
¡°Who said you can take her away?¡±
An elegant voice went through everyone¡¯s ears. The Murong Qi Qi who fainted in Feng Cang¡¯s arms, stood up. Ruyi immediately gave her the IOU to please little wangfei. Murong Qi Qi carefully looked at it once. When there was no problem with it, she let the ink dry. She carefully put away the IOU Hn Lian Yi wrote.
¡°You yed me!¡±
Hn Lian Yi was speechless. Although in his heart, he knew Murong Qi Qi was acting, but the other party didn¡¯t bother with that. Now, she¡¯s standing very fine in front of him, making him lose hundred thousand golden teals for nothing and also let him be a joke in front of everyone.
¡°What young master Hn said isn¡¯t right. It¡¯s obviously you who attacked first. How is it bengong yed you?! Bengong is helping you, ah. With only a hundred thousand golden teals, you let Nan Feng avoid disaster. Young master Hn is a big hero of Nan Feng, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qiughed and slowly walked to Hn Lian Yi.
¡°What do you want?¡±
Hn Lian Yi is now afraid of Murong Qi Qi; afraid that the other party will feel pain here and there and put all of them on him. Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to be near him, he shed to a side.
¡°Ah......¡±
Murong Qi Qi saw Hn Lian Yi like that, she chuckled. She came to Guli¡¯s side.
¡°Hey, are you dead yet?¡±
¡°You, you this poisonous woman, what do you want to do?¡±
The bloodstain on Guli¡¯s mouth already became a bloodstream. After every word she said, she needed to pause for a long time. When she opens her mouth, blood will flow out. It seemed that her life won¡¯t be long.
¡°Bengong came to tell you; you like men, bengong has nothing against it. Men can have three wives and four concubines and frequent brothels. Why should women keep their purity? Why should they abide to those morals and ettiquettes......However, you were wrong for liking bengong¡¯s man. Everything that bengong cares about, even if it¡¯s a clothing or a hairpin, bengong won¡¯t let anyone take them away, let alone bengong¡¯s man!¡±
¡°Ha......haha......¡±
When Guli heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®men can have three wives and four concubines and frequent brothels. Why should women keep their purity?¡¯, sheughed. She had a feeling she encountered an intimate friend. But unfortunately, it¡¯s at such a ce and such a time.
¡°It¡¯s, it¡¯s I who got my hopes high......got my hopes high......¡±
Guli¡¯s chest went up and down fiercer, but she struggled to stand up with the help of her hand. Her eyes looked at the far away Feng Cang.
That man is white as jade, cold as frost. Only when looking at Murong Qi Qi, his gaze would transform into a gentle spring.
So, it turned out that when two people are in love is like this. Guliughed bitterly once. Although she has many men, but those men being with her, either they were indulged in her beauty and wanted to have pleasure on beds, or they have been pressured by her. There was never a person who looked at her with such infatuated and gentle eyes.
¡°I, I take back that curse of before.¡±
Guli¡¯s chest has been dyed red by the blood from her mouth.
¡°Feng Cang, you, you are the first man I couldn¡¯t get......Today, dying at her hands, I deserve it. However, I don¡¯t regret......it¡¯s just......if in the future, you betray her, even in death I won¡¯t let you off, this traitor!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t need you to worry about that. My woman, I will use every effort to protect and love her.¡±
Feng Cang went forward and took Murong Qi Qi in his arms.
¡°Alright......¡±
After saying thisst word, Guli slowly fell onto the ground. Tears slid from her cheeks onto the ground. Her beautiful eyes were wide open. Even dying she looked infatuated at Feng Cang as if she had many regrets she couldn¡¯t say.
Chapter 88 The shy Nan Lin Wang (2)
Chapter 88 The shy Nan Lin Wang (2)
Ay.......
Don¡¯t know why, suddenly Murong Qi Qi felt pity.
This world was very demanding towards women. Women were weak and needed to rely on a man to survive. That¡¯s why they needed to be humble and do everything with the man in the center. They would be yed by men. A woman like Guli, being so bold in public, a woman ying with ¡®men¡¯, there were very few of them. Such a woman died, this world lost a wonderful little flower......
Murong Qi Qi squatted and closed Guli¡¯s eyes.
¡°Wangye1, let¡¯s find a ce where you could see the mountains and rivers to bury Guli!¡±
Just now, they were hostile towards each other. Now, as a woman, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft spot had been awakened by Guli¡¯sst tears.
Which woman was not a pure flower at first, when going into a man¡¯s arms with a heart full of love? But, only after experiencing betrayal would the evil in the heart of a woman breed and make them do deviant things. Guli was nothing but a pitiful person.
¡°Good!¡±
Feng Cang helped Murong Qi Qi up and told the servants to bury Guli. When Hn Lian Yi saw that Guli had died, he only frowned and then left hurriedly with Long Duo.
¡°Interesting, interesting!¡±
Upstairs in Cymen, Jia Lan sipped wine. Just now, he was upstairs and saw everything clearly. At this point, he somewhat understood why Feng Can took a fancy to Murong Qi Qi. This woman indeed had a talent to shock people and also had something that attracted the eyes of people. The dance of just now almost let him lose his soul and be in a daze.......
¡°Sir Jia Lan, the knockoutpetition is ready.¡±
One person came forward with a respectful attitude.
¡°Everything is ready, only waiting for the tournament to begin.¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Jia Lan drank thest bottle of wine. He stood up and looked deeply once more at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Take me to the venue. I want to check it personally.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The man in blue retreated to one side and then followed behind Jia Lan.
¡°Sir, this time, our knockoutpetition will certainly make them shocked. This subordinate feels that if three people can pass, then it¡¯s already not bad.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t look down on those people......¡±
Jia Lan wasn¡¯t as optimistic as the man in blue.
¡°However strong you are, there is always someone stronger.¡±
¡°But, sir Misha¡¯s seven level pagoda, even the disciples from the ind, there weren¡¯t many who could pass it. Moreover, these contestants simply can not bepared to our Peni ind¡¯s people.¡±
¡°Haha, be careful, caution is the parent of safety. Who can guarantee that among these contestants, there¡¯s no ck horse......¡±
While saying that, suddenly in Jia Lan¡¯s mind appeared the image of Murong Qi Qi dancing. Don¡¯t know if that woman would participate in the tournament of the four countries or not. If she participates, then the oue will really be something to look forward to!
The duel ended with Guli¡¯s death and Hn Lian Yi losing a hundred thousand golden teals.
Just when Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were about to leave, suddenly Longze Jing Tian appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi. He stared deeply at her. In his eyes was a strong love.
¡°Xian Er, is it you? I¡¯ve searched a long time for you!¡±
It turned out that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dance made Longze Jing Tian think about the day Du Xian Er saved him in the forest. Just now, when Murong Qi Qi was dancing, in his mind repeatedly appeared Du Xian Er, who hadnded from the sky in front of him, fully clothed in white. When the two figures ovepped, they had actually matched so well.
¡°Jing wang, please conduct yourself with dignity.¡±
Murong Qi Qi took one step back and went into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about! If this is Jing wang¡¯s way to strike, I can only tell Jing wang that this way is a failure!¡±
Even when Feng Cang, who was holding Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, moved far away, Longze Jing Tian still looked infatuatedly at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Xian Er, is it you? In the end, is it really you?¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words went into Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ears, making her dislike this rubbish third big sister even more. Today, Murong Qi Qi let people be surprised. It¡¯s just, why was it that everywhere this woman went, she was able to seduce men? Feng Cang¡¯s eyes almost dropped honey and now Longze Jing Tian was also like that. Where was there anything good about this woman?! Murong Qing Lian bit her lips and mercilessly stamped on the ground.
When Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi arrived at Meixiang yuan2, Hn Lian Yi already let people send over a hundred thousand golden teals.
¡°Did you count it? Inspect it?¡±
Murong Qi Qi drank a mouthful of tea and asked Su Yue.
¡°Answering miss, everything was real and the amount is also right!¡±
Su Yueughed while answering. Her mood was very good. Before, Fang Jing was worried that building the world¡¯s best ce for business would need a lot of capital. Now, miss only went away for a bit and came back with a hundred thousand golden teals. If Fang Jing saw it, he¡¯ll certainly be happy enough to die.
¡°Mm, be careful. Put it away in a safe ce.¡±
When she finished talking, she turned and looked smilingly at Feng Cang.
¡°Wangye, you have wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation. I¡¯m afraid that these hundred thousand golden teals certainly won¡¯t enter your eyes. Take it as if I won some pocket money, alright?¡±
Ruyi, who was listening to this, almost spouted out blood. Wangfei3 really has an appetite of a lion, ah! Where in this world was there a woman who would take a hundred thousand golden teals as pocket money? Even the princesses in the pce didn¡¯t have this much pocket money, ah!
¡°Originally, this money was given to you by Hn Lian Yi to lessen your shock. Naturally, it¡¯s your money.¡±
Feng Cang smiled, and Ruyi almost bit off his tongue. Master pampers wangfei too much! But having said that, this money was indeed earned by wangfei herself.
¡°Then, thanking wangye!¡±
Murong Qi Qi quickly stood up and bowed towards Feng Cang. She didn¡¯t even bow yet, when she was pulled into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t you need to confess something? Hmm......¡±
Feng Cang stretched out his voice. Su Yue and the others saw that, and they knew that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi had something to talk about, so they retreated. When they left, they specially closed the door.
¡°What is wangye talking about? Confess what?¡±
Murong Qi Qi blinked her eyes innocently as if she didn¡¯t understand what Feng Cang meant.
¡°You, ah......¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi like that, Feng Cang didn¡¯t want to force her. As long as she¡¯s safe and happy, it¡¯s enough!
Feng Cang pinched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose. His eyes were full of pampering and love.
¡°You having a little secret, I don¡¯t mind that. I¡¯m willing to wait for the day youpletely open your heart. Just, next time when you encounter such a thing again, tell me in advance, lest to let me worry so much at one side!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t continue to pursue the matter, but let her keep some private space, making Murong Qi Qi very moved. She took the initiative to go into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Feng Cang, you really are good to me!¡±
¡°Qing Qing is also not bad towards me, ah! Today, who repeatedly said ¡®Feng Cang is my man¡¯ in front of everyone?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned red when Feng Cang mentioned this. Originally, she said those words to anger Guli and also at the same time, beat back those ill-intentioned women like Murong Qing Lian, who wanted to covet Feng Cang. She didn¡¯t think much about it. Unexpectedly, Feng Cang let those words enter his mind. Really embarrassing, ah.
¡°Before, you said them so righteously, howe you¡¯re shy now? My reputation has been ruined by you. Qing Qing, you say, shouldn¡¯t youpensate me?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s devilishly beautiful face moved closer to Murong Qi Qi. That pair of quiet eyes was full of spring, making Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but put her hands on Feng Cang¡¯s face.
¡°Feng Cang, you look really charming......¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying such a praise, made Feng Cang give her a knowing smile. He put her jade-like hand against his lips and kissed it gently.
¡°Qing Qing, if I was a woman and you praised me like that, I will feel happy. But, I¡¯m a man. Being praised like a woman, I¡¯m very sad. Could it be that Qing Qing is saying I¡¯m very sissy?¡±
¡°No, no, no!¡±
Murong Qi Qi immediately gestured with her hand and quickly denied.
¡°I just never have seen such a man like you. You¡¯re really a devilish beauty!¡±
The moment he heard ¡®devilish beauty¡¯, Feng Cang raised his head and casted a flirtatious nce at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Since Qing Qing praise me as a devilish beauty; if I don¡¯t do something to tempt you, then wouldn¡¯t I not be living up to Qing Qing¡¯s praise?¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to understand, Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face moved over. Red lips leaned closer, seizing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s petal-like soft lips and gently sucked on them.
Sweet with a taste of green apples making a person float. Moreover, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips were extremely soft. It was like kissing soft clouds. Feng Cang gently bit on her soft lips. He didn¡¯t dare to use force in fear of hurting her
¡°Uh......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned red because of shyness. She closed her eyes and moaned once. She didn¡¯t think that the heat on her lips would stop. She opened her eyes. Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face was red, but his eyes were full of worries.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Qing Qing, did I hurt you with the biting?¡±
So, it turned out, that the moan of Murong Qi Qi, in Feng Cang¡¯s ears, it sounded like he had hurt her. That¡¯s why he stopped.
Looking at Feng Cang¡¯s uneasy expression and his red face, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart jumped badly. This man is too cute! What kind of hearing is that, ah? To actually turnfortable into pain. Is it that he has never kissed before?
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi once again looked at Feng Cang. Feng Cang¡¯s face turned redder. He didn¡¯t dare look at Murong Qi Qi. Their gaze just met for a moment, and then he quickly turned to look somewhere at the roof. Now, Murong Qi Qi was more certain about her thought.
¡°Wangye, could it be that you¡¯ve never kissed a girl before?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi asked carefully. Her eyes were locked on Feng Cang¡¯s face.
Now, Feng Cang¡¯s face burnedpletely. So hot, it was painful.
What should he do? Could it be that just now, he had hurt her while biting? So embarrassed, he wanted to die. Why did such a thing happen? The first time he kissed and he left such a bad impression on Murong Qi Qi. Will sheugh at him?
¡°Haha!¡±
It¡¯s the first time that Murong Qi Qi saw such a shy Feng Cang. She didn¡¯t think that he would be this shy. Blood could now be pinched out of that handsome face. He looked so brightly red, very devilishly beautiful. It¡¯s just that this man was shy because of a kiss, really too cute! Just now, he just sucked her lips like a baby. Could it be that he thinks that this is kissing?!
¡°Qing Qing isughing at me......¡±
Beingughed at by Muong Qi Qi, Feng Cang¡¯s male self-esteem waspletely blown away. He had coveted for a long time, before he got the courage today to eat Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tofu. But the result was like this. Such a shame, ah!
Eat tofu: take advantage in a sexual manner
¡°Wangye!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang like that, Murong Qi Qi quickly moved to him and nestled inside Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m very happy!¡±
Murong Qi Qi pointed at her heart.
¡°Here is truly very happy!¡±
¡°I like men who are clean like wangye!¡±
So, it¡¯s like that......Don¡¯t know why, after hearing those words, Feng Cang felt relieved. It¡¯s as if a big mountain had been pressing on his shoulder and was nowpletely put down. So, it was like that.......
¡°This is wangye¡¯s first kiss, I¡¯m very happy!¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised her head whileughing. Such a bright face made Feng Cang lose his soul.
¡°Wangye, just now you didn¡¯t hurt me......it¡¯s just kissing is not like that......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands hooked Feng Cang¡¯s neck to let him lower his head. She took the initiative to give him her lips.
Four soft sides touched each other. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s naughty tongue slowly entered Feng Cang¡¯s mouth. Feng Cang looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face with his eyes wide open. He looked straight at Murong Qi Qi. His face was full of disbelief.
¡°Fool, close your eyes!¡±
Murong Qi Qi blushed. Feng Cang quickly closed his eyes. He did as Murong Qi Qi and stuck out his tongue.
So, kissing is like this, ah! Feng Cang finally understood that the dabble and stop of just now was not considered kissing. Such a lingering was a real kiss. So, it¡¯s like this!
Although Murong Qi Qi initiated it, but she¡¯s also inexperienced. Feng Cang secretly opened his eyes and looked at Murong Qi Qi. She was drunkenly into the kiss with her eyes closed. That face, as small as a palm, was pinkish because of shyness. Looking at that face, it was even more moving.
It¡¯s also the first time for his Qing Qing! Feng Cang¡¯s heart beat happily! She¡¯s so sweet with a fragrance of green apples, making him unwilling to let this love go.
After a long time, Feng Cang pushed Murong Qi Qi away. He panted.
¡°Qing Qing, can¡¯t anymore! I¡¯m afraid that if we continue like this, I will be unable to hold myself in and will want to eat you today!
¡°Wangye!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were full of daze and temptation, stimting all of Feng Cang¡¯s senses.
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang once again pulled Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. Red lips fell, not on her lips but on her smooth forehead.
¡°Qing Qing, I love you! However, no matter how much I love you, how much I want to have youpletely, I must wait till the wedding night! I want to give you an unparalleled wedding. I want to let you be my most beautiful bride! I don¡¯t want to destroy the sacredness of a marriage! Qing Qing, I love you!¡±
This man, ah......leaning against Feng Cang¡¯s chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart felt sweet as honey.
Being so close to him, she could sense his restlessness. However, he was still trying to suppress himself. His speech also expressed the voice in his heart. Obviously, he wanted to get it so much, but he still bore with it. She really didn¡¯t know what to say anymore. She could only nestle quietly in his arms and enjoyed this beautiful sweetness......
Because of the kiss, Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feelings once again reached another level. And at Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s, she was creating a n.
¡°Princess, I brought the drug.¡±
Yong er4 marched into the room, bringing the taste of the night with her. She handed Wanyan Bao Zhu a packet of drug.
¡°The doctor said, as long as you put a little in the food; within an hour, it¡¯ll cause diarrhea. Even the wisest doctor wouldn¡¯t be able to cure it in an instant. Having diarrhea for a couple of days, even the healthiest people will not be able to walk!¡±
¡°Good! Very good!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu took out a hairpin and handed it over to Yong er.
¡°This is a reward for you. Take good care of it! Tomorrow morning, slip into the small kitchen and put the drug in the dishes!¡±
¡°Thanks princess! This ve will definitelyplete the task!¡±
After getting the hairpin, Yong er retreated cheerfully. Don¡¯t know what happened to Wanyan Bao Zhu recently. She didn¡¯t follow Feng Cang with an infatuated look anymore. She stayed at home every day, but she¡¯s a lot more generous than in the past. She had gifted Yong er several essories by now, making Yong er surprised and a lot more happier. She felt that because Ning er had died and Chou er left, princess was now even more attentive towards her. That¡¯s why she had been so generous.
Yong er was grateful to Wanyan Bao Zhu from the bottom of her heart. So, she put more effort into doing the errands for Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Seeing the happy expression on Yong er when she retreated, Wanyan Bao Zhu humphed coldly. Really shortsighted. With only a few jewelries, she had been bribed the moment she told what she had heard this morning; Murong Qi Qi had actually defeated Nan Feng¡¯s contestant. Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart wrung together.
Why was this woman so lucky? When did she learn martial arts? Why had she never heard about it? Or was it that Murong Qi Qi was a very deep schemer and had been hiding it? Thinking till here, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but think about those corpses from Wu Ji Gong outside the city. Could it be that all those people had been killed by Murong Qi Qi? If it¡¯s really like that, then Murong Qi Qi was truly very frightening!
A question had been entangled in Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart all this time. It was about the cause of Zhao Lang¡¯s death and also the cause of the deaths of those people from Wu Ji Gong and the real princess. Now, Murong Qi Qi knew martial arts. Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but put these two things together. Could these have been done by Murong Qi Qi?
It¡¯s just, no matter how Wanyan Bao Zhu thought about this question, she couldn¡¯t find the answer. As for Mu Yu Die, since she had returned, she was a bit out of her mind. She had been having that dazed and foolish expression. Although Jin Mo prescribed medicine for her, but wanting to get something out of her in a short period of time, was impossible. Now, the only thing she (WBZ) could do was to let every contestant unable to participate in the tournament. By then, she¡¯d see how Murong Qi Qi could continue to be Nan Lin wangfei!
The next morning, noon hadn¡¯t even been reached, when from the other yuans came the news that every contestant ate the wrong thing, got a bad stomachache and had diarrhea. When Feng Cang and Jin Mo arrived, aside from Wanyan Kang who had slept in and didn¡¯t eat breakfast, the others were pale-faced.
¡°What happened?!¡±
Feng Cang coldly swept around once. When his gaze met Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s, Wanyan Bao Zhu got a guilty conscience and slightly lowered her head.
¡°Cousin brother, someone put this in the dishes!¡±
Wanyan Kang handed a paper found at the corner of the kitchen to Feng Cang. Jin Mo took it and sniffed.
¡°It¡¯s Croton powder.¡±
¡°Croton powder?¡±
Using Croton powder wouldn¡¯t harm people¡¯s life, but would make people need to go to the bathroom till their legs turned weak. They wouldn¡¯t be able to participate in the tournament.
¡°Who did it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s her!¡±
Wanyan Kang let people bring out a person who was tied. The moment they looked, they saw it was Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s maid Yong er.
¡°I investigated everyone. She went into the kitchen this morning and acted very sneaky. It¡¯s definitely her!¡±
¡°Say, who let you do it?!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was calm, but the indifference and coldness inside it, let Yong er shiver.
¡°Say!¡±
Chapter 89 Despicable Dong Lu people (1)
Chapter 89 Despicable Dong Lu people (1)
¡°It¡¯s princess who let me do it!¡±
At this time, Yong er1 knelt.
¡°Princess said to not let people participate in the tournament, so she let this ve use Croton powder! It¡¯s princess who let this ve do it!¡±
¡°Yong er!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu never expected that Yong er would betray her so quickly.
¡°Yong er, bengong2 doesn¡¯t treat you badly, so why do you frame bengong? If bengong let you do it, why would bengong have to bear with such pain?!¡±
Because she ate the breakfast this morning, Wanyan Bao Zhu also got diarrhea. Now, her face was terribly pale.
¡°Servants, detain princess and the pce maid. Ji Xiang, let someone specially look after them. After the tournament is finished, benwang3 will re-trial this matter!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t want to bother with this matter right now. Instead, he let Ji Xiang detain Wanyan Bao Zhu and Yong er separately. Now, he was most concerned about the health of the contestants. The tournament was imminent. The knockoutpetition would begin tomorrow. It would be very troublesome if the contestants couldn¡¯t participate.
¡°Wangye4, I¡¯m afraid they can¡¯t participate in the tournament anymore!¡±
Jin Mo shook his head. He prescribed a medicine and let people go get the ingredients.
¡°The drug is too heavy. Tomorrow, they won¡¯t have any strength and there¡¯s no way they can participate in the tournament.¡±
This time, it¡¯s big trouble. From all the contestants, only Wanyan Kang was fine. What should they do?!
At Meixiang yuan5, Feng Cang stood among the red plum flowers. With a lowered head, he thought about the knockoutpetition.
Feng Cang intended to take a few of his people along to participate in the knockoutpetition. Although this might expose a part of his power, but this was the only way out. If it was a normal tournament, then he wouldn¡¯t have minded the oue of thepetition. However, this was rted to his future happiness. Let it all be exposed! After all, he had tolerated for so long. It¡¯s time to expose!
At this moment, Murong Qi Qi stepped onto the snow and moved towards Feng Cang. Out of habit, she nestled in his arms.
¡°Wangye, let me participate in the tournament!¡±
¡°Qing Qing?¡±
Feng Cang was somewhat surprised at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s request. But aside from the surprise, he somewhat understood Murong Qi Qi¡¯s idea.
¡°Qing Qing, the tournament of the four countries is not a usual game. Hand this matter over to me. Don¡¯t worry, I will certainly get the first ce of the tournament for you!¡±
¡°Wangye!¡±
Murong Qi Qi held Feng Cang¡¯s hand and looked at him seriously.
¡°Wangye, I sincerely want to participate in the tournament of the four countries! It¡¯s not for getting glory for the country. This has nothing to do with honor. I just want to personally win my happiness!¡±
It took only a moment, before Su Mei and Su Yue knew that Murong Qi Qi wanted to participate in the tournament. Seeing that their miss wanted to participate, these two also wanted to participate, but they were stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Well, quietly wait for the results. Could it be that you doubt my ability?¡±
¡°Miss, subordinates don¡¯t dare. It¡¯s just that it has always been where miss goes, that¡¯s where we¡¯ll follow. This time, the tournament of the four countries is no joke. Subordinates are willing to follow at miss¡¯s side. Even if it¡¯s one more person, one more face without having to do anything is also alright!¡±
Usually, Su Yue was calm and collected. What she usually said at key moments, would make people feel it¡¯s right. However, Murong Qi Qi had already made her decision and would not tolerate Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s pleas.
¡°I already told wangye, if I win, he must give me the Wind Chase Cliff as a dowry. Wangye agreed!¡±
¡°Miss......¡±
Su Mei suddenly realized that this was the case, that Miss wanted to participate in the tournament for the Wind Chase Cliff.
¡°It¡¯s fine, you don¡¯t need to worry. Nothing will happen to me!¡±
¡°No!¡±
Although Murong Qi Qi said it like that and her ability was also not ordinary, but this time, Su Yue gritted her teeth and adhered to her thought.
¡°Miss, Su Mei has quick reaction. If you want to go, you must take Su Mei with you. This subordinate will stay outside as backup. If miss doesn¡¯t take Su Mei with you, then Su Yue doesn¡¯t agree! Presumably, the brothers of Moyu will also disagree!¡±
Having Su Yue¡¯s words, Su Mei also insisted. In the end, Murong Qi Qi had no choice but to nod and take Su Mei with her.
Although Feng Cang agreed on Murong Qi Qi participating, but he was also very worried. Only Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang were not enough. After thinking about it, he also let Ruyi go.
A day before the knockoutpetition, the contestants of Bei Zhou were finally set....... Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei, Wanyan Kang and Ruyi. This team was formed at thest moment. Really don¡¯t know what would happen.
¡°Cousin brother, I know. Must certainly protect imperial sister-inw¡¯s safety; don¡¯t let her lose even a strand of hair! I already know! You¡¯ve said it a hundred of times already!¡±
The next day, on the way to the tournament, when Feng Cang was about to open his mouth, Wanyan Kang immediately expressed all that Feng Cang wished to say.
¡°My good cousin brother, she¡¯s your wangfei6, but I¡¯m your little cousin brother, ah! Why don¡¯t you care a bit more about me, this little cousin brother, ah?!¡±
¡°Your life is lucky!¡±
One sentence from Feng Cang blocked Wanyan Kang deadly.
¡°Ruyi, did you see?! He hasn¡¯t even married her yet and he¡¯s already pampering her like this. In the future, if cousin-inw enters the fu7, then wouldn¡¯t she be the biggest in wangfu8?¡±
Wanyan Kang put on a helpless expression. He shrugged his shoulders. His voice was exaggerated. His expression was even more exaggerated.
¡°What, is fifth highness feeling ufortable?¡±
Inside the carriage, Murong Qi Qi heard Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice. She opened the curtain, revealing a lively small face.
¡°Wangye, fifth highness is not young anymore and needs to get married. It¡¯s time to find someone to control him!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi said that, Feng Cang immediately pretended to ponder over it.
¡°Qing Qing is right. When we go back, I¡¯ll go look for uncle......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t! I was wrong! I was wrong, alright?!¡±
Wanyan Kang immediately put on a bitter look.
¡°Cousin-inw, just now, it¡¯s this little brother¡¯s head which went into water and became confused! This little brother was wrong! This time, this little brother will closely follow behind cousin-inw and protect cousin-inw¡¯s safety without taking a single step away! As for the marriage, let¡¯s dismiss it. I haven¡¯t yed enough yet!¡±
Since the time he had been scammed by Murong Qi Qi in the pce, Wanyan Kang knew that this cousin-inw was someone who could con people without blinking an eye. In any case, if she whispers in Feng Cang¡¯s ears and let him go ask Wanyan Lie to get a princess consort for him, then his free life would be gone! He didn¡¯t want to marry so early. He didn¡¯t want any women!
¡°Puchi......¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that coupled with his current expression, Su Meiughed out loud, attracting Wanyan Kang¡¯s gaze.
Wanyan Kang also had seen Su Mei before. However, she¡¯s Murong Qi Qi¡¯s maid. So, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t carefully take note of her. Now looking at her, he discovered that this little girl was very lively and cute.
¡°What are youughing at?¡¯
Wanyan Kang let the horse go to Su Mei¡¯s side.
¡°Could it be what I said was not right?!¡±
¡°Humph!¡±
Su Mei humphed lightly. She raised her chin.
¡°Our family¡¯s miss naturally has me to protect her. Fifth highness, if you don¡¯t meddle too much and provoke trouble, then we can thank the gods! How can we expect you to help?!¡±
The pride in Su Mei¡¯s eyes made Wanyan Kang surprised for a moment. This girl was interesting. Obviously, she¡¯s a maid, but she¡¯s so bold and dared to speak to him like that. She¡¯s more fun than those people from the pce.
¡°You, this little girl, howe you¡¯re so eloquent?! Could it be that if the master is like this, the ve is also like this?¡±
¡°Of course, my family¡¯s miss is the best. Although, I¡¯m not even a tenth of miss, butpared to fifth highness, I¡¯m more than enough.¡±
Su Mei wasn¡¯t modest. Every word she said, was a praise of Murong Qi Qi, making Wanyan Kang even more curious. Before, Murong Qi Qi beating Guli already made him very shocked. Now, whenever Su Mei mentioned Murong Qi Qi, she¡¯s so proud. What more did this pair of master and servant not shown yet?
Although in his heart, he was thinking that, but his mouth was saying otherwise: ¡°Tsk! Don¡¯t talk big! In the end, who is more powerful, we¡¯ll see at the knockoutpetition!
¡°Compete, thenpete! Who is afraid of who?!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s provocation directly stimted Su Mei¡¯s desire to win.
¡°When a certain someone loses, don¡¯te crying with snot in your nose! Otherwise, the dignified fifth prince will lose face till your grandmother¡¯s home!¡±
¡°You!¡±
Wanyan Kang pointed at Su Mei. He ¡®you-ed¡¯ for a long time without saying any following words.
He¡¯s a prince. Who, when seeing him, was not respectful and licked his butt? This only happened when he encountered Murong Qi Qi and her servant. He can ept the master bullying him. After all, next to Murong Qi Qi, there¡¯s the big mountain Feng Cang. He couldn¡¯t afford to offend that mountain. However, why was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s people also ¡®bullying¡¯ him like this? Moreover, why was it, whenever he was bullied, he was still very happy? Could it be that he had the tendency to like being abused?
Seeing Wanyan Kang was no longer talking, Su Mei smiled proudly. Because of the cold weather, that pretty face was rosy. It looked more attractive. Coupled with that pair of shiny eyes, it made Wanyan Kang lose his soul.
¡°What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beauty?!¡±
Su Mei red at him after seeing Wanyan Kang stare at her, making her look more beautiful.
¡°I¡¯ve seen beauties, but I¡¯ve never seen such a small pepper like you!¡±
Even Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t notice that the sound of his voice had changed a bit. However, just because he didn¡¯t notice, doesn¡¯t mean that the others didn¡¯t hear the change.
¡°Small pepper. Su Mei, this name matches you quite well!¡±
Murong Qi Qi had been looking at the two. They¡¯ve been bickering the whole way. Howe she felt that the way Wanyan Kang looked at Su Mie was quite not right? Could it be that she¡¯s too sensitive?
¡°Su Mei? Su Mei......because ofziness, painting the eyebrow (mei). Good name. Good name!¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Su Mei was so angry her face turned red. Why was it that whenever he said her name, it felt so weird? Howe this man was such a smooth talker and at the first look, he looked like a yer prince?! A young master who only knows to dally around?! It seems that she needs to give him a little lesson!
Thinking till here, Su Mei silently came to Wanyan Kang¡¯s back. With a whip, she whipped Wanyan Kang¡¯s horse¡¯s butt. The war horse became frightened. It spread its hooves and rushed forward.
¡°Aiya, small pepper, you want to murder, ah?!¡±
Wanyan Kang grabbed the reins tightly. Although he was shouting exaggeratedly, but the actions of his hands were not bad. In just a moment, he controlled the manic horse.
¡°Next time, if you want to murder, please say it in advance. I¡¯ll clean my neck for you to cut it, ah!¡±
¡°Pei!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s face turned red.
¡°Lecher! Ignoring you!¡±
Su Mei let the horsee next to the carriage. She talked with Murong Qi Qi in a low voice and didn¡¯t bother anymore with Wanyan Kang.
Seeing that little girl¡¯s beautiful face and rosy cheeks, Wanyan Kang shook his head while smiling. In the end, she¡¯s just a little girl and couldn¡¯t stand provocation well. Interesting! Very interesting!
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t know that unconsciously, on his mouth hung a naughty smile. And this smile, had been put into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes.
Without Su Mei¡¯s bickering, Wanyan Kang was a lot quieter. He was somewhat not used to this quietness. From time to time, he would look back at Su Mei. However, the other party ignored him, making Wanyan Kang get the feeling that he had lost face for the first time. He was actually looked down upon by a small maid. It seems that he must show his talent at the knockoutpetition!
The venue of the knockoutpetition was at the pagoda that drove away evil spirits, located outside the city. Because the content was decided by Dong Lu, the location of the knockoutpetition was also selected by Dong Lu.
This pagoda that drove away evil spirits was in a Buddha temple. The Buddha temple was made in a golden period during the former Qin. Later, because of the war, the temple was destroyed, leaving only a lonely ¡®drive away evil spirits¡¯ pagoda, which towered in the clouds.
At this time, the contestants of the four countries have arrived.
Bei Zhou had two men and two women. Xi Qi had the same as Bei Zhou. Aside from Long Duo and Hn Lian Yi, Nan Feng had five more people. As for Dong Lu, it had the most people.
Dong Lu arrivedst. Moreover, the contestants stayed at the house of embassy without revealing themselves. This time they came out, making Murong Qi Qi gain knowledge. Fifty people! A total of fifty people!
¡°Did cousin-inw see? Dong Lu likes to use the tactic of a sea of people!¡±
Wanyan Kang sneered.
¡°Every time, they are so shameless, wanting to tire people to death. Are the people of Dong Lu so cheap?¡±
¡°Puchi.......¡±
The moment Su Mei heard that, sheughed. This person really spoke interestingly!
¡°Mei er, why are youughing? Don¡¯t be afraid of them! Rest assured, when I take action in a moment, I¡¯ll immediately take all of them down!¡±
Seeing Su Meiugh like a flower, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help himself from teasing her.
¡°Humph! Don¡¯t need! It¡¯ll be fine if I only follow our miss! Also, you¡¯re not allowed to call me Mei er. Did you hear?!¡±
Su Mei red at Wanyan Kang once and stood behind Murong Qi Qi. Her mouth revealed a smile,pletely not putting Wanyan Kang in her eyes.
¡°Heihei!¡±
Being looked down upon, Wanyan Kang stillughed, making Su Mei feel that this fifth prince¡¯s mind was not so good.
¡°Wangye, since the knockoutpetition is decided by Dong Lu, will they y favoritism?¡±
After Murong Qi Qi looked at Dong Lu¡¯s disposition of forces and then looked at the pagoda that drove away evil, she had some questions. Dong Lu had this many people. If they wanted to cheat, then wouldn¡¯t the other countries lose the decisive opportunity?
¡°Princess Zhao Yang, please be assured. I can personally guarantee that the thing you worry about, won¡¯t happen.¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to answer, a man¡¯s voice, full of confidence, reached over. A man in blue walked over from not far away.
This man was wearing blue and liked blue like Jin Mo. However, Jin Mo¡¯s blue was the color of the sky and the blue on this man, was deep like the sea. On the blue clothes was waves embroidered with silver threads. There were also somersaulting koi. It looked very alive.
Murong Qi Qi raised her head and looked at the man. Long eyebrows, long and narrow phoenix eyes, tightly closed thin lips. He wasn¡¯t such a devilish beauty like Feng Cang and also didn¡¯t have Feng Cang¡¯s cold proudness. Instead, he looked easy going with a warm smile. He looked someone you can get close to.
¡°I¡¯m Jia Lan, the person who made the content of the knockoutpetition. The content of the knockoutpetition today is this pagoda that drives evil spirits away. Buddha has a seven level pagoda; humans have seven emotions and six desires. Each level of this pagoda has a different test. The ones who safely arrive at the top of the tower will be the finalists for the tournament.¡±
The seven emotions of human: joy, anger, anxiety, thought, grief, fear and fright.
¡°No way!¡±
Immediately, there was someone who shouted.
¡°Seven level, is it then not seven rounds of test? Then, this knockoutpetition will bepeting through seven games, ah?! In case no one passes, then what?¡±
¡°No one passing?¡±
Jia Lan smiled. His smile was like a blooming Epiphyllum oxypetalum.
Epiphyllum oxypetalum
¡°No one passed, then there¡¯s no winner. Everyone loses.¡±
¡°How could it be like that?!¡±
Hearing Jia Lan say that, everyone began to talk about it. Form outside the pagoda, there¡¯s no way to see inside it. Really made people curious about what kind ofpetition it was.
¡°No matter what method is used; no matter if you beat a friend or foe, as long as you can reach the top, then you¡¯re the winner!¡±
Jia Lan¡¯s voice was full of temptation. His ¡®no matter if you beat a friend or foe¡¯ made Murong Qi Qi frown.
¡°Hearing your words, do you mean for us to massacre one another?¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi quickly seized the meaning behind his words, Jia Lan couldn¡¯t help but have a deeper understanding of this little woman.
¡°Princess, you can¡¯t always do as you like. Every secret is inside the pagoda and since princess is a contestant, why don¡¯t you go inside and give it a try?!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t need you to say that. Naturally, I¡¯ll go!¡±
At this point, Murong Qi Qi had an inexplicable feeling towards this pagoda where the knockoutpetition was being held. This pagoda was emitting a dangerous aura. What was inside there? Aside from this Jia Lan, no one knew. Also, his words of just now, obviously had the feeling of wanting to watch a y. Could it be that he would also watch the contestants of Dong Lu go die?
¡°After entering the pagoda, the door will be locked. You can only wait till someone passes the seven levels test and appear at the top, before the door will be opened.¡±
While saying this, Jia Lan maintained a gentle smile on his face. The smile was like a spring breeze in May. Warm, making people get lost in that smile and almost forget the chill in his words.
What did this person mean with those words? Longze Jing Tian frowned. If no one passed, then didn¡¯t it mean that the door of this pagoda wouldn¡¯t be opened? Then wouldn¡¯t everyone be trapped inside and be starved to death? Is that what Jia Lan meant?
¡°Those who have regrets, there¡¯s still a chance to quit.¡±
Seeing that there¡¯s some hesitation, Jia Lan continued to smile.
¡°If there¡¯s no one who will quit, then please enter!¡±
Chapter 90 Despicable Dong Lu people (2)
Chapter 90 Despicable Dong Lu people (2)
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t go! I feel that this pagoda is not that simple!¡±
Feng Cang also sensed that Jia Lan was a dangerous person. His smile exuded a dark atmosphere. It¡¯s definitely not easy to pass this pagoda.
Seeing that Feng Cang was worried about her, Murong Qi Qi was very moved. However, if she didn¡¯t go, then she wouldn¡¯t be at ease in letting Su Mei and the others go. Moreover, this pagoda evoked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s curiosity. Where did that kind of confidence Jia Lan hade from? Could it be that there are some traps in this pagoda?
¡°Wangye1, I¡¯ll be fine. Be at ease!¡±
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, refusing to let go. He was subconsciously aware that this knockoutpetition was not that simple. Who was that Jia Lan? Why was there never such a person mentioned in the information that came from Dong Lu? Moreover, his expression with that faint smile revealed danger. If Murong Qi Qi went in and something happened, then what?
¡°Wangye, I¡¯lle back safely!¡±
Murong Qi Qi tiptoed and left a kiss on Feng Cang¡¯s lips.
¡°Wangye, wait for me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi taking the initiative to kiss him and also in front of so many people, almost made Feng Cang¡¯s face turn red. However, not waiting for Feng Cang to react to the kiss, he felt his back turn numb. Murong Qi Qi had pressed his acupuncture point.
¡°Wangye, apologizing formitting an offense! You must obediently wait for me! Let¡¯s go!¡±
Seeing that the people of the other three countries had already entered, Murong Qi Qi led Wanyan Kang and the others inside the pagoda.
Only after Murong Qi Qi entered the pagoda, did Jin Mo release the acupuncture point of Feng Cang. The moment he released it, Jin Mo was lifted up by Feng Cang.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop her? Why didn¡¯t you release the acupuncture point for benwang2?!¡±
¡°Wangye, in front of so many people, give me some face.¡±
Only after Jin Mo coughed twice did Feng Cang let him down.
¡°Wangye doesn¡¯t need to worry. Princess will definitelye back safely!¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang wanted to go after Murong Qi Qi, Jin Mo went in front of Feng Cang and stopped him.
¡°Safely?! Can you guarantee that?!¡±
¡°Wangye! You can¡¯t lose your mind every time you encounter matters that are rted to her! Where did that clear-headed and failing-to-panic Nan Lin wang from before go?!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang like this, Jin Mo got angry. Not caring if Feng Cang was happy or not, Jin Mo dragged Feng Cang to one side.
¡°If princess can¡¯te back safely, I¡¯ll personally cut off my head and follow her!¡±
¡°Does wangye still remember my junior brother Lian gongzi3 that I mentioned before? In fact, my junior brother is princess. Princess is Lian gongzi.¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang had an ugly expression, Jin Mo had no other way but to confess Murong Qi Qi¡¯s alter ego. Now, Feng Cang was surprised.
¡°She¡¯s the famous Lian from the jianghu4? Is Lian gongzi not a man, not your junior brother?¡±
So, it turned out to be like this. No wonder she was able to escape from the hands of Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people and could beat Guli......
¡°Wangye, I also only got to know about it recently. Asking wangye to please rx. Princess¡¯s ability is great! We should only wait patiently!¡±
With Jin Mo¡¯s words, Feng Cang¡¯s heart calmed down a bit. Now in his heart, there¡¯s more shock. Murong Qi Qi was actually Lian gongzi? That brilliant doctor with magical hands, who could bring the dying back to life, but had a weird personality. Always, even when seeing the death, he still wouldn¡¯t cure. Only looked to see if the patient was pleasing to the eye, before treating the patient. That Lian gongzi?!
While Feng Cang was waiting outside the pagoda, the contestants had already entered the first level of the pagoda.
The pagoda that drove evil spirits away was madepletely out of huge rocks. It¡¯s a stone pagoda. Inside, the sound of outside couldn¡¯t be heard. When everyone entered, the door suddenly locked with a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound. The dull sound made everyone¡¯s hearts startle for a bit.
Not waiting for the contestants to adapt to the environment, the fifty people of Dong Lu already surrounded the contestants of the other three countries.
¡°What do you want to do?¡±
Murong Qing Lian held a soft sword and looked at these Dong Lu¡¯s people. They all red like a tiger watching its prey. On their face was a dirty smile as if they were wolves and the other three counties werembs that almost fell into their mouths.
¡°Hehe, what do we want? Of course, it¡¯s killing you all,¡± a tall man shouted. ¡°As long as you die, then our Dong Lu will be this tournament¡¯s winner!¡±
¡°Despicable!¡±
The moment Su Mei opened her mouth, she cursed.
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Hearing Su Mei say that, the contestants of Dong Luughed.
¡°Little girl, are your ears deaf or what? Just now, sir Jia Lan already said ¡®no matter if you beat a friend or a foe, as long as you can reach the top, then you¡¯re the winner¡¯. Of course, we must first get rid of you, these obstacles, first!¡±
¡°Really shameless,¡± Su Mei cursed. ¡°If you want to kill us, then it depends on if you have that ability!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! Mei er5 said it very well!¡±
Wanyan Kang also began to shout.
¡°Want to kill this master, why don¡¯t you urine to take a look at yourselves?!¡±
¡°Haha!¡±
Su Meipletely copsed. She couldn¡¯t help but sweep her eyes once over Wanyan Kang. This master, aside from his noble aura which made him look like a prince; at other ces, where could his identity as a prince be seen? Her family¡¯s guye6 was the one who¡¯s elegant and decent. On the other hand was this prince, his highness, who had a foul mouth. Howe he didn¡¯t look like a son of the emperor? Could it be that they had misced the baby?
Wanyan Kang¡¯s shout represented the inner thoughts of the three countries. Although the other party had fifty people and their three countries only had a total of fifteen people, making the other party three times more than them; but having more people didn¡¯t mean anything. At this time, because of the provocation from Dong Lu, the contestants of the other three countries became united.
However, it seemed that the people of Dong Lu had long expected that the other three countries would join together. They didn¡¯t intend on giving them this opportunity.
¡°Kill!¡±
The tall man from Dong Lu ordered. The fifty people drew out their weapons. They scattered into three groups and surrounded each country¡¯s contestants in a separate circle.
¡°Separate!¡±
¡°Very good calction!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at the ten or more Dong Lu¡¯s contestants who surrounded the four of them.
¡°Cousin-inw, let me deal with these small shrimps. You can go take a rest......¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Kang to finish, Su Mei shouted: ¡°Cover your mouth!¡±
She also covered her mouth and threw a bag of blue powder on the people of Dong Lu.
Those people of Dong Lu didn¡¯t have enough time to cover their mouths. They inhaled the powder and all fell limp onto the ground.
¡°Methamphetamine!¡±
Su Mei snapped with her finger. She raised one eyebrow and made a face at Wanyan Kang. She came to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side.
¡°Miss, all is done! Fortunately, miss was farsighted and let me prepare some things in advance. Otherwise, we¡¯ve would have been thrown into a pit asmbs by these bastards and wouldn¡¯t even know how we¡¯d die!¡±
¡°Wow, wow!¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t know what kind of poison Su Mei used. He only smelled a floral fragrance and then the thirteen Dong Lu people, who had surrounded them, copsed. This poison is truly too powerful!
¡°Mei er, where did you buy this drug? Later, also buy one for me. Whoever I¡¯m not happy to see, I¡¯ll sprinkle it on him!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s words made Su Mei directly put him into the category ¡®talking to himself. She was toozy to pay any attention to Wanyan Kang. Su Mei took out a dagger and went to the side of those Dong Lu people who had fainted.
Just letting these people faint was not enough punishment for disrespecting miss. In Su Mei¡¯s point of view, there¡¯s no need to keep these heartless Dong Lu people!
¡®Sou, sou, sou!¡¯
The dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hand was like a sickle harvesting wheat, urately cutting these people¡¯s throats. Blood poured out. In no time, the air was filled with the smell of blood.
In a blink of an eye, thirteen people¡¯s lives were finished by Su Mei.
¡°Eh......¡±
Seeing the dagger full of blood in Su Mei¡¯s hand, Wanyan Kang waspletely shocked. Her skills with the knife were excellent. Her attacks were fast and urate. Moreover, this little girl was too fierce. Every attack was fatal. To her, these people of Dong Lu in front of her, were like killing small chickens.
¡°Gulp......,¡± Wanyan Kang swallowed and touched his throat. He couldn¡¯t help but shiver. This small pepper is truly sinister and vicious, ah!
Not only Wanyan Kang, Ruyi was also scared. That Su Mei knew martial arts was an unexpected surprise for Ruyi.
Originally, he thought that wangfei7 was a delicate beauty. That day, when Murong Qi Qi yed with Guli, she immediately overturned the impression Ruyi previously had. Originally, he thought that the two maids at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side were gentle and sweet. Now, after seeing this scene, Ruyi waspletely awakened! These women, to be able to follow at wangfei¡¯s side, must is simple. How could they be ordinary people!?!
Seeing that Wanyan Kang and Ruyi were standing there dazed and gazing at Su Mei as if they were looking at an alien, Murong Qi Qi smiled.
¡°What, scared?¡±
¡°Cousin-inw, I truly adore you! In the future, this little brother will follow and mingle with cousin-inw!¡±
After looking at Su Mei and then Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang thoroughly understood a truth. That is, all the people who followed Murong Qi Qi were very awesome. For example, Su Mei; she looked lively and hot, but in fact, she¡¯ll kill without any hesitation. Truly handsome!
¡°Follow and mingle with our miss? You need to pass my barrier first! At my miss¡¯s side, I won¡¯t have any rubbish!¡±
Su Mei humphed and looked up and down at Wanyan Kang, as if she was saying ¡®are you qualified?¡¯.
¡°You don¡¯t believe this master?! You look down on me!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s scorn truly angered Wanyan Kang¡¯s male self-esteem.
¡°You wait and see! This master hasn¡¯t showed my killer move yet. Later, open your eyes and look!¡±
Wanyan Kang repeatedly said this master; how would he know that someone was attacking him from behind?
¡°Be careful!¡±
Su Mei reminded him, but she was one step toote. The other party had already raised his sword and chopped in the direction of Wanyan Kang¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Shameless! Actually used a sneak attack!¡±
Wanyan Kang stayed calm and let his body slide back. The person behind him directly pierced the sword at his abdomen.
¡°Die!¡±
He raised his leg and kicked that person away. At the same time, pulled out his sword. That person¡¯s blood sprayed on his whole body.
¡°F***, f***, f***. Too dirty!¡±
Seeing that his clothes had turned red, Wanyan Kang looked disgusted. He quickly jumped away in fear of being contaminating with more blood.
Su Mei let out a sigh of relief after seeing that Wanyan Kang was fine. This person looked like a yer young master. His kungfu was not bad. At least, he could protect himself!
¡°How was it, little Mei er? Are you intoxicated by this young master¡¯s handsome sword skills?¡±
Seeing that Su Mei loosened herself, Wanyan Kang felt happy. Smiling, he leaned over,ughing happily like a child begging for candy.
¡°Che......Only a jack of all trades. It¡¯ll be fine, if I don¡¯t need to clean your asster!¡±
¡°Little Mei er, you saying it like that truly hurt my, a big man¡¯s, self-esteem!¡±
While talking, Wanyan Kang sensed two people nearby, who wereunching a sneak attack.
¡°Do you have more of that drug from before? Throw one more! Make them all faint, then we can go to the top of the pagoda!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t have anymore!¡±
Su Mei shrugged.
¡°Do you think ¡®Blue demon¡¯ is very cheap? I spent five hundred silver liang to buy it. Moreover, I was only able to buy it because of an acquaintance! You want it? I¡¯ll give it to you cheap. A hundred for the toll, a total of six hundred liang is right!¡±
¡°Six hundred! You are ughtering people, ah?! Your master is so rich. Didn¡¯t she extort hundred thousand golden teals from an idiot before? Wouldn¡¯t it be alright if you take some?¡±
¡°Those are miss¡¯s! They¡¯re not mine! Do you understand?!¡±
Hn Lian Yi, who was fighting with the people of Dong Lu; when he heard ¡®idiot¡¯ing from Wanyan Kang, he got distracted and was almost chopped.
After the escape, Hn Lian Yi cut that man down with one stroke of his sword. He also red angrily at Murong Qi Qi. Extort hundred thousand golden teals from him, causing his funds to almost not be able to run and also let him lose a contestant in vain. These were all the good things Murong Qi Qi had done!
At the other side, the four people of Xi Qi coordinated well with each other. They were unruffled. That¡¯s why Longze Jing Tian had more time to pay attention to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. When he heard Su Mei mention ¡®Blue demon¡¯, Longze Jing Tian frowned.
It¡¯s said that this ¡®Blue demon¡¯ came from Moyu. It¡¯s Du Xian Er who made it. Before, when he saw Murong Qi Qi dance, he mistook her for Du Xian Er. When he went back to the house of embassy, he thought about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s looks. Only then did he discover that the two¡¯s looks werepletely different. He really didn¡¯t know why he saw those two as one at that time.
Now, Su Mei¡¯s ¡®Blue demon¡¯ had been purchased. It proved even more that Murong Q Qi wasn¡¯t Du Xian Er.
If Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er, then she could¡¯ve juste forward and made all those people faint. With Du Xian Er¡¯s tactics, don¡¯t say only those ten or so people who had surrounded them, even if it¡¯s all the contestants of Dong Lu, she would be able to deal with them. Where would it beplicated like this?!
Longze Jing Tian was a clever person who became a victim of his own ingenuity. Su Mei had deliberately said those words to let him overhear. Ever since that day of the duel with Guli, when Longze Jing Tian identified her as Du Xian Er, Murong Qi Qi had been thinking about how to let him dispel of that thought. That¡¯s why there¡¯s such a scene today.
The contestants of Dong Lu saw that their people who had surrounded Murong Qi Qi¡¯s group were killed by Su Mei in a moment, so they took out some people from the other two groups to specially deal with this side.
Seeing that more people hade over, Wanyan Kang exposed a naughty smile. His eyes also became sharp.
¡°Ruyi, just now, the little girl acted first, making us, the two men, really lose face! Now, these people are ours. Don¡¯t let a little girl look down on us!¡±
Ruyi was very satisfied with Wanyan Kang¡¯s arrangement. Before, Su Mei had only used a very small way to let those people go see the king of hell. It¡¯s they, the two men, who had nothing to do. Howe no matter what, he felt some shame? Now, there are more people who hade to look for death, they couldn¡¯t let Su Mei act first again. They¡¯re men. They couldn¡¯t hide behind a woman and enjoy.
¡°I¡¯ll listen to your highness!¡±
When these two men reached an agreement, the two swords waved more dazzlingly. Ruyi was Feng Cang¡¯s personal guard. To be able to protect Feng Cang, of course his martial arts were not bad. As for Wanyan Kang, although he looked like a ruffian and always joked without having a serious moment, but at critical times, his actions were very vicious.
Having the men to take charge, Murong Qi Qi went to one side to watch the y. Su Mei wanted to attack, but those two didn¡¯t give her the opportunity, making her very anxious.
¡°Wait! There are still six more levels. We¡¯ll be very busy going through one level after another. Now, don¡¯t waste your energy!¡±
Seeing that Su Mei¡¯s hands were itching, Murong Qi Qiughed.
¡°Yes! I¡¯ll listen to miss!¡±
After about half an hour, the fight on the first floor had stoppedpletely. Aside from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s group who were unscathed, some of the contestants of the two other countries were injured. And more than half of the people of Dong Lu had died. Only six people surrendered.
Wanyan Kang originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill these six people, but in thest moment, he was stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Cousin-inw, it¡¯s better to kill these people. Why should we keep them?¡±
Just the thought of Dong Lu¡¯s despicable behavior made Wanyan Kang angry.
If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qi Qi was far-sighted and prepared the poison, maybe they would also be like the other two countries, where there were some people who were greatly injured. Beforeing, he had promised Feng Cang that he¡¯d protect Murong Qi Qi and wouldn¡¯t let anything happen to her. If this time, something happened to Murong Qi Qi, how would he exin to cousin brother? That¡¯s why, these people deserved to be killed!
¡°Don¡¯t know what is waiting for us upstairs. It¡¯s better to let them go explore. Just right, one person, one floor......¡±
After Murong Qi Qi said that, Wanyan Kang quickly understood. That handsome face immediately radiated with delight.
¡°Cousin-inw, you are truly evil, ah! You can even think of such an idea. This little brother truly admires you, ah!¡±
¡°Hey, hey, hey! What are you saying? It is called being smart. It¡¯s wisdom, do you understand?!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Kang speak rudely towards Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei jumped.
¡°My miss is not like a certain person with only developed limbs and a simple brain!¡±
¡°You said my limbs are developed and my brain is simple?!¡±
Wanyan Kang pointed at his nose with a face full of disbelief.
¡°Humph! I, such a handsome, dashing, outstanding, elegant, having an universal appeal, flowers bloom whenever they see me, very easy-going and at the same time, having intelligence, man, won¡¯t lower myself to your, a little girl¡¯s, level! Let¡¯s go! To the second floor!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t follow Wanyan Kang. Instead, she went to Bai Yi Yue. Just now, Bai Yi Yue had been wounded in the fight. She was scratched by a sword. Now, she¡¯s bleeding.
¡°This is gold medicine for skin ulcer! Your wound isn¡¯t deep. Put on medicine quickly to stop the bleeding. Then, it won¡¯t leave a scar!¡±
Murong Qi Qi tore a white cloth and was about to bandage Bai Yi Yue, but she was stopped by Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Wait, wait! You said that this is golden medicine for skin ulcer, then is it really golden medicine for ulcer? Who knows if you really have a good heart, ah? What if it¡¯s poison? Then what?¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words were very sarcastic. In the quiet first floor, they were particrly piercing to the ears.
¡°There¡¯s no knowing what is in a person¡¯s heart. A certain someone, ah, she has became crazy thinking about how to get the first of the tournament! Because this is rted to her marriage, ah! If she doesn¡¯t get the first ce, then she can¡¯t get married. By then, it will be truly embarrassing enough to die! So, ah, some people may do some things to hurt another to get the first ce! Miss Bai, it¡¯s better to be careful and to not easily believe people!¡±
After listening to Murong Qing Lian, Bai Yi Yue smiled.
¡°Thanking miss Murong for your concern. Princess Zhao Yang is my friend. I¡¯m very clear about how her character is. Princess Zhao Yang does things always in a straightforward and upright manner and is not like certain people who only will use sneak attacks. I believe that princess Zhao Yang won¡¯t hurt me! Princess, my hand is not convenient right now. Troubling you to put medicine on for me!¡±
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s words was the same as a p on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face, making her be put on the spot immediately. Her face turned pale and then red repeatedly.
¡°Really treating good intentions as a donkey¡¯s liver! Miss Bai, don¡¯t believe in the wrong person; otherwise, it¡¯ll be toote to cry!¡±
¡°No need to trouble miss Murong to worry about this. I¡¯ve always believed that he who never wrongs others doesn¡¯t fear the knock of ghosts in the night. Walking upright, won¡¯t fear the shadow to be at a crooked angle.¡±
When Bai Yi Yue and Murong Qing Lian were going against each other, Murong Qi Qi had smilingly put ayer of green cream on Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand. Immediately, a fragrance of lotus flower spread around and the burning pain on Bai Yi Yue¡¯s skin was covered by a coolness.
Smelling the medicine, Li Yun Qing came over. After carefully examining the color, Li Yun Qing eximed: ¡°Could this gold medicine for skin ulcer be Lian gongzi¡¯s ¡®New Lotus¡¯? I heard that this New Lotus was made with the summer¡¯s lotus heart. No matter what kind of scars, as long as you put on the medicine every day; then not even half a month passes before the skin is as good as new. It¡¯s the best of all gold medicine for skin ulcer. Even money can¡¯t buy it!¡±
¡°It¡¯s the same one! Cousin young master has very good eyes!¡±
As Su Mei said those words, she deliberately casted a nce at Murong Qing Lian.
¡°In the end, you¡¯re truly a great family¡¯s young master to have such good eyes, unlike a certain someone who doesn¡¯t know the good things. Also, to lie with open eyes and ssh dirty water at someone to the greatest extent!¡±
¡°You! Lowly servant, where do you have the right to speak here?¡±
Murong Qing Lian raised her hand and it went straight at Su Mei¡¯s white cheek.
Chapter 91 Shaking the heart moving the soul (1)
Chapter 91 Shaking the heart moving the soul (1)
Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian¡¯s palm to fell on Su Mei¡¯s face, a big hand grabbed Murong Qing Lian¡¯s wrist tightly. Su Mei looked up. It turned out to be Wanyan Kang.
¡°Tsk, tsk. Xi Qi¡¯s people are very bold; daring to teach this highness¡¯s person on Bei Zhou¡¯s territory. Very great, ah!¡±
On Wanyan Kang¡¯s mouth hung a naughty smile, but his gaze swept sharply over Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face.
¡°Don¡¯t know who gave you the right to beat this person!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s appearance was outside Su Mei¡¯s expectations, but it was inside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expectations. Seeing Wanyan Kang being ¡®a knight saving the beauty¡¯, Murong Qi Qi remained silent and continued to bandage Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Is she not my third big sister¡¯s maid? As long as she came from my Murong fu1, I can beat her!¡±
Murong Qing Lian gritted her teeth. Her right hand wanted to be free from Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®shackles¡¯. However, unexpectedly, the other party¡¯s strength was great. It almost crushed her bones.
Seeing Murong Qing Lian like this, Wanyan Kang sneered. He threw her hand away, making Murong Qing Lian fall onto the ground.
¡°Cousin-inw, why does Murong fu have such a woman without brains? Is she really your sister who came from the same mother?¡±
¡°She¡¯s born by a concubine. Originally, concubine Liu was a maid at my mother¡¯s side in charge of the rough work......,¡± Murong Qi Qi answered Wanyan Kang very cooperatively.
¡°So, it¡¯s like that!¡±
Wanyan Kang made an expression as if he had suddenly realized something.
¡°Born by a concubine? No wonder she doesn¡¯t have any manners! Seeing cousin-inw¡¯s every gesture, that¡¯s what a model ofdies should be like. This highness thought that every miss of Murong fu was like that. Ah, in the end, she came from a concubine. The person is already ugly, I didn¡¯t expect the brain also to be filled with poop. The true master hasn¡¯t spoken yet, but a little silly girl by a servant pretended to be thedy. Really don¡¯t know what kind of teaching that is!¡±
Only now did Murong Qi Qi truly gain an insight on Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®viciousness¡¯. Although, she had a poisonous tongue, but she needed to take many things into consideration and also needed to maintain her image. So, she couldn¡¯t be unrestrained like him. This Wanyan Kang is really funny! Howe there¡¯s such a weird prince in Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family!
¡°You, you!¡±
Murong Qing Lian was so angry that her teeth grinded against each other and made ¡®keke¡¯ sounds.
Because of her outstanding ability, she got Murong Tai¡¯s favors at Murong fu. The servants also saw the wind and set the helm. They saw that she got the prime minister¡¯s love, so they all respected her. Never did they treat her differently because she¡¯s from the illegitimate line. Instead, it was Murong Qi Qi, the legitimate miss, who was bullied at the fu. Over time, Murong Qing Lian gradually forgot her origin.
Saw the wind and set the helm: to act pragmatically
Now, Wanyan Kang repeatedly saying ¡®born by a concubine¡¯, ¡®illegitimate¡¯, ¡®a little silly girl by a servant¡¯, made her feel embarrassed like never before. Her face also changed from red to pale, from pale to ck. In front of this prince from another country, her pride was trampled on by his foot. Especially, that ¡®ugly¡¯, made Murong Qing Lian so angry that tears rolled in her eyes.
Two number one beauties of the capital came from Murong family. Now, she had been nicknamed ¡®little beauty¡¯. Howe, she became ¡®ugly¡¯ from Wanyan Kang¡¯s point of view?!
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that Murong Qing Lian was an ¡®ugly¡¯ thing, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but think back to the first time she had met him. At that time, he had also called her ¡®ugly thing¡¯ and pushed her away. This prince truly relied on his identity of being a member of the imperial family to do whatever he pleases, ah! However, such a personality is not bad!
Seeing the smile on Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qing Lian truly got angry. Wanyan Kang was the fifth prince of Bei Zhou, she couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. However, Murong Qi Qi, who she had been bullying for so many years; now, beingughed at by this rubbish, Murong Qing Lian had no way of epting it.
¡°Third big sister, there¡¯s an outsider who is bullying your little sister like this, don¡¯t you need to help? After all, I was born by the same father. He¡¯s talking like this about Murong family¡¯s daughters, could he not also be talking about third big sister, you?¡±
Murong Qing Lian pointed the gun at her, Murong Qi Qi only smiled. She stuffed the New Lotus in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand.
¡°Yi Yue, take this medicine. It¡¯s inevitable that in the tournament, there will be bumps and scratches. It¡¯s not good for a girl to leave scars! If you used all, let peoplee get more!¡±
Bai Yi Yue was very touched by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s treatment.
Now, their rtionship was obviously that ofpetitors. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t care about that and also gave her such a valuable medicine. Immediately, Bai Yi Yue bowed at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Thanking princess! Like princess said, knives have no eyes. Princess also needs to be careful! When princess and Nan Lin wang2 marries, we, Bai fu, will certainly send a big gift to repay princess¡¯s kindness of today!¡±
¡°Yi Yue, you saying it like that, is like you don¡¯t take me as friend! Good friends don¡¯t need to be like that! When I was being bullied, Yi Yue didn¡¯t look down on me because I¡¯m a rubbish. You didn¡¯t look at me with different eyes. This is already very rare. Between you and me, there¡¯s no need to be so courteous!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi simply ignored her and also treated Bai Yi Yue, who isn¡¯t even her real sister, so well, Murong Qing Lian got furious.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, howe your elbow turns the wrong way?! I¡¯m your real little sister!¡±
Elbow turns the wrong way: favor an outsider instead of someone on one¡¯s own side.
¡°Impudent!¡±
Murong Qi Qi turned and snapped.
¡°Bengong3 took into consideration that you¡¯re bengong¡¯s illegitimate sister. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t pursue the matter of you being disrespectful. Today, you¡¯ve ndered me like this. If it wasn¡¯t because your surname is still Murong, bengong would¡¯ve long not been so polite towards you!¡±
¡°Murong Qing Lian, listen well. From the point of view of rtionship, bengong is your legitimate elder sister. There¡¯s order between seniority, there¡¯s difference between legitimate and illegitimate! You¡¯re just an illegitimate daughter born by a concubine. Talking to me like this is already disrespectful. From the point of view of thew, bengong is princess Zhao Yang personally bestowed by the emperor. In front of bengong, you didn¡¯t use the honorific terms, also pointed your fingers at bengong and scolded bengong; all of these actions are very disrespectful!¡±
¡°Bengong took into consideration that you¡¯re young and didn¡¯t bother about it. If you continue to take advantage of that and me giving you face; then if you don¡¯t want face, bengong doesn¡¯t have such a little sister like you! As for those words fifth highness said just now, bengong felt that the lesson was well taught. You should listen well and remember them very well. Don¡¯t go outside the country and let Murong family lose face. Here¡¯s Bei Zhou. There¡¯s no one who will protect you.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice revealed a killing intent. The eyes looking at Murong Qing Lian were also cold. Looking at Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qing Lian suddenly shuddered. When did she begin to have such an aura? Since when did this rubbish dare to use such a tone to speak?
Looking at Wanyan Kang and Su Mei¡¯s eyes once again, Murong Qing Lian immediately understood. No wonder this pair of master and servant dared to be so bold. The master seduced Nan Lin wang; the servant tempted the prince¡¯s heart. Behind them, there are people. No wonder they were so full of confidence.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, you have capability. Are you not only relying on Feng Cang¡¯s love? You¡¯re nothing but a lowly thing who seduces men. Even the maid at your side is very coquettish. She even hooked on a prince......¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯
Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian to finish, a p fell on her face very hard. The p was so hard, it made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s head buzz and made her eyes see only stars.
¡°Cough, cough!¡±
Murong Qing Lian opened her mouth. A tooth tainted with red blood was spat out. She raised her head. The one who pped her was actually Longze Jing Tian. At this time, Longze Jing Tian was clenching his fists and ring at her fiercely. That gaze looked like it wanted to kill her, making Murong Qing Lian freeze on spot.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! It¡¯s our contestant who was disrespectful. Asking fifth prince and princess Zhao Yang not to get angry!¡±
Longze Jing Tian bowed at Wanyan Kang and Murong Qi Qi. Him taking action and pping Murong Qing Lian was because he couldn¡¯t stand Murong Qing Lian ndering Murong Qi Qi like this; secondly, he was also saving Murong Qing Lian.
Just now, he saw very clearly. If Murong Qing Lian had said one more word, the sword in Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand would¡¯ve definitely cut off her head. Although Murong Qing Lian indeed went overboard, but now it¡¯s the critical period of the tournament. If they killed Murong Qing Lian now, then the strength of Xi Qi would decline.
This pagoda that drove away evil spirits was very strange. They didn¡¯t know what was above yet. One more person meant one more helper and also one more chance. So, no matter how Murong Qing Lian acted, Longze Jing Tian would protect her.
After all, this time¡¯s tournament of the four countries was very important to Longze Jing Tian. Although the voices wanting him to be crown prince of Xi Qi were the highest, but as long as Longze Yu didn¡¯t appoint a crown prince, then his heart wouldn¡¯t be at ease. So, he must further improve his reputation, making Longze Yu couldn¡¯t help but ply with the public opinion¡¯ and pass the throne to him! Only when he¡¯s at the highest ce, having the empire in his grip, could he get what he wants. For example......the beauty in his heart!
¡°Oh......¡±
How could Murong Qi Qi not know Longze Jing Tian¡¯s thoughts. He¡¯s advancing by retreating. It looked like he punished Murong Qing Lian, but in fact he had saved her life and retained the strength of Xi Qi. Have to say, this Jing wang is not an easy person to deal with!
Advancing by retreating:promising
¡°Count it as if you were lucky. Let¡¯s go!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was toozy to continue bother with these things. She stepped on the stone stairs to the second floor.
¡°Do you know why benwang4 pped you?¡±
After the others left, Longze Jing Tian turned and looked sternly at Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Asking your highness to exin.¡±
The previously proud Murong Qing Lian was now with her head down humbly. She swallowed all the blood in her mouth into her stomach.
¡°Benwang needs to get the first ce. Otherwise, benwang would¡¯ve let them killed you and wouldn¡¯t have saved you. Benwang thinks highly of you. Don¡¯t let benwang be disappointed. By then, don¡¯t end up with the head separated from the body......¡±
Murong Qing Lian heard the threat in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s voice very well. She also knew that just now, Wanyan Kang had the intention to kill her. If she had continued to speak, today, she would¡¯ve definitely died here. Moreover, even if she had died, no one would¡¯ve held Wanyan Kang responsible. Then, she could only be a ghost, full of vengeance.
It¡¯s just, she was now being taught a lesson in public by Longze Jing Tian. Even if they got the first ce, the face she lost wouldn¡¯te back because of that. Murong Qi Qi is to me for all of this! All of this were the good things that bitch Murong Qi Qi did!
¡°Thanking wangye! Your subject¡¯s daughter will put in my utmost effort!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure disappear up the stairs, Murong Qing Lian gritted her teeth. She picked up the fallen tooth and hid it close against her body. Murong Qi Qi, you and I can¡¯t exist together!
The second floor was very quiet. There were no people nor any sounds. The stairs to the third floor was located on the other side. At the top, in the middle, a glowing pearl was ced. It was very bright, making this floor very clear.
¡°Is there anybody here?¡±
Hn Lian Yi carefully looked around once. Here, there wasn¡¯t even a ce for people to hide. Could the second level be so simple?
¡°Yo, young master Hn, what you said is strange. Could it be that we¡¯re not anybody?!¡±
Wanyan Kangughed and it was Hn Lian Yi who had a face full of embarrassment after hearing those words.
¡°I didn¡¯t mean it like that. What I meant was that no one is hiding in this ce. Don¡¯t know if there are any traps or hidden weapons.¡±
After experiencing the attack of Dong Lu¡¯s people on the first floor, Bei Zhou still had four people. Xi Qi also still had four people. Three people of Nan Feng had died. Now, they also had four people. Along with the six people of Dong Lu who begged for mercy before, the second floor of this pagoda had a total of eighteen people.
¡°Whether or not there are traps or hidden weapons, won¡¯t we know if we try?¡±
Longze Jing Tian pushed forward an unlucky Dong Lu person who was standing in the front.
¡°Ah......¡±
The miserable voice didn¡¯tpletely finish speaking, as the whole body had already been divided into tens of pieces and fell onto the ground.
¡°Ah!¡±
Bai Yi Yue closed her eyes and couldn¡¯t bear to watch such a scene. The others were truly stunned.
In the air, one after another golden threads appeared in front of everyone because they were now stained with blood. Wanyan Kang wanted to reach out and touch them, but has been stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Be careful. These are golden silk threads. Don¡¯t touch them!¡±
¡°Golden silk threads!¡±
After Murong Qi Qi said that, everyone was stunned again.
Golden silk thread, as the name suggest, was silk spat out by the golden silkworm. The silk was as sharp as de. Fire couldn¡¯t burn the silk, sword couldn¡¯t cut the silk. It¡¯s very tough and also extremely sharp. That person of just now, was split into meat pieces because of these gold silk threads.
¡°Too shameless!¡±
Long Duo began to scold with his peculiar voice.
¡°Dong Lu is truly too despicable. This time, they actually used such lowly means! Too shameless.¡±
Scolding wouldn¡¯t solve the problem. Li Yun Qing squatted on the ground. He looked carefully at those golden silk thread hanging in the air. He shook his head.
¡°Not able to cross over. The whole second floor isyered with golden silk threads.¡±
Hearing Li Yun Qing say that they couldn¡¯t cross over, Hn Lian Yi became anxious.
¡°Then what should we do? If we can¡¯t cross over, then wouldn¡¯t we be trapped in here?¡±
Originally, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s mood was already not good. Now, hearing that, she got very angry. The next moment, she wrapped her soft sword around one of the heads of those Dong Lu¡¯s people.
¡°Say, who came up with such a bad idea! Why is your Dong Lu so despicable?! What more are there upstairs?!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, ah. I really don¡¯t know!¡±
This person shook his head very hard.
¡°It¡¯s sir Jia Lan who came up with the problem. We only found out after we came in! What more are there upstairs, we truly don¡¯t know, ah!¡±
After Murong Qing Lian heard that, she got angry. She wanted to kill this person, but was stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, what do you want?¡±
Murong Qing Lian red at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Before, I already said. No one knows what is upstairs. Leaving them, we can only use them as test subjects. If you kill him, then there will be one less. Could it be that you want to personally go test the top floor?¡±
After Murong Qi Qi said that, Murong Qing Lian stopped. Indeed, these Dong Lu¡¯ s people were still useful. Thinking till here, Murong Qing Lian retrieved her soft sword. However, her heart still felt unhappy.
¡°You saying so, could it be that you have a way to cross to the other side? If we can¡¯t cross, then everyone loses!¡±
¡°A way......,¡± Murong Qi Qi smirked. ¡°Of course, I have a way! It¡¯s just, why should I tell you?!¡±
¡°You!¡±
A breath choked in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s throat. She couldn¡¯t spit it out and also couldn¡¯t swallow it. In the end, she still felt angry but swallowed it.
¡°Don¡¯t only know how to talk! If you have the ability, then cross over for all of us to see!¡±
¡°Hehe!¡±
Murong Qi Qi chuckled and didn¡¯t bother anymore with Murong Qing Lian. Instead, she looked carefully at those golden silk threads in the air. The more she looked, the more the smile on her mouth got bigger. Are they not very much like the infrared rays of the future?!
In the past, she had tried them many times while on training. The most powerful one was when she had stolen the empress¡¯ crown of the Qin pce from the underground treasury of the City Bank. She had passed through three lines of defense. In the end, the rm didn¡¯t ring.
Now these, to her, these were just child¡¯s y! It¡¯s just that the infrared rays had been reced by golden silk threads. If she¡¯s not careful, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as only being wounded on the surface. She needed to be very careful.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say a word for half a day, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He came to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Cousin-inw, did you see any tricks to be used? How should we cross over, ah? Could it be that we use qinggong5? However, the roofs are also full of golden silk threads! Moreover, there¡¯s no ce around that can be used as a foothold. Even qinggong wouldn¡¯t be easy to use, ah!¡±
¡°Hush......¡±
Su Mei made a gesture for him to be silent.
¡°Your highness, is my miss not thinking of a way right now?! Could you please not be so noisy?! Howe such a big man is acting like a sparrow? Chattering endlessly!¡±
¡°I say, Mei er6, could you not treat me in a more amiable manner?! Just now, I was like a hero saving the beauty, ah!¡±
¡°Pei! Who wanted that?! This miss could also settle it!¡±
¡°Mei er, women need to be more gentle! Look at how gentle and pleasant your miss is. You should learn more from her!¡±
Wanyan Kang leaned towards Su Mei and asked in a low voice: ¡°Say, does cousin-inw really have a way to cross over?¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
Su Mei raised her chin proudly.
¡°My miss can do anything. In this world, there¡¯s nothing that¡¯s difficult for my miss!¡±
¡°Continue to brag! Even a feather of a chicken was blown to the sky by you! Not even afraid that if the leather broke, it¡¯ll be embarrassing!¡±
Murong Qi Lian couldn¡¯t understand why protective Su Mei is towards Murong Qi Qi and she whispered those words.
¡°What did you say?!¡±
Chapter 92 Shaking the heart moving the soul (2)
Chapter 92 Shaking the heart moving the soul (2)
Murong Qing Lian always had such an ambiguous attitude, making Su Mei annoyed. Before, if it wasn¡¯t because of Wanyan Kang meddling in, she would¡¯ve long gotten rid of Murong Qing Lian. Now, seeing her going up against Murong Qi Qi again, Su Mei couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore: ¡°If you have the guts, say it once more! Do you believe that I¡¯ll beat out a tooth from you!¡±
¡°Miss Murong, could you speak less?!¡±
This time, it was Longze Jing Tian, who once again opened his mouth.
¡°Howe you can¡¯t learn to be good?!¡±
¡°Yes, wangye!¡±1
Murong Qing Lian gritted her teeth and unwillingly bowed her head. Patience! Patience! No matter what, she needs to pass the knockoutpetition. By then, she can beat Murong Qi Qi honorably at the tournament. She will fiercely step on her (MQQ) proud face!
¡°Boring!¡±
Seeing that her provocation was once again stopped by Longze Jing Tian, Su Mei let out a breath and rolled her eyes.
¡°It¡¯s still miss who said everything right. If a dog bites me, do I have to bite back? There¡¯s no need to reason with an animal. It¡¯s better to directly kill it and stew! Unfortunately, ah. She was actually saved, so boring!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s words were full of thorns, making Murong Qing Lian so angry that she gritted her teeth even more. At this time, Wanyan Kang looked at Su Mei. The more he looked, the more his mood turned for the better. He couldn¡¯t help butugh loudly.
¡°Hahaha! Mei er,2 you truly are a small pepper! Too cute! I just love you being eloquent like this!¡±
¡°Pei! Who wants you to like?! yer!¡±
Here, the two were in a battle of the mouth. At the other side, Murong Qi Qi saw through the wholey-out.
It seemed that the one who hade up with this problem was a true master. These sharp golden silk threads were arranged in an extremely clever way. If someone was careless, or if this person didn¡¯t have the physical endurance or martial arts, and had a weak body, then the only ending for him was death.
¡°Little cousin sister, do you have a way to cross over?¡±
Li Yun Qing had been watching Murong Qi Qi. Just now, she remained silent with furrowed brows. She had been studying these golden silk threads at one side. Now, her brows had rxed. Her smile was also happy. She had certainly found a way.
¡°Cousin brother, I just have a preliminary idea. However, if there¡¯s no one to work with me, then I still can¡¯t finalize the way to cross over.¡±
Li Yun Qing was surprised that Murong Qi Qi had a way to cross over. He became even more curious about this girl. They, with so many people, couldn¡¯t find a way to cross over. Howe she had just looked for a while and was able to find a way?
¡°If little cousin sister doesn¡¯t mind, then I¡¯m willing to cooperate,¡± Li Yun Qing smiled. He was still wearing a green robe. His hair was tied up with a bamboo stick. He looked like a blue-green jade bamboo in the mountain; fresh and green, tall and straight.
¡°Well then. Troubling cousin brother!¡±
Murong Qi Qi let Li Yun Qing tie his clothes together and also tie up his loose hair on his head. In a moment, the original handsome Li Yun Qing became capable for practicing.
¡°Cousin brother, do as I say. Su Mei, remember all the steps I say.¡±
¡°Young master Li, do you really want to go over? You believe her?¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s unable-to-disperse voice once again came between them.
¡°If you are trapped in the middle, then the one who will die is you!¡±
After listening to Murong Qing Lian, Li Yun Qing chuckled. The handsome features became even more charming.
¡°I put my whole life in little cousin¡¯s hands. Of course, I¡¯m assured. Let¡¯s begin!¡±
Everyone looked at Li Yun Qing silently. On Murong Qi Qi¡¯s palm also appeared sweat. Originally, she wanted to be the first to cross over. However, if she crossed over, then what about Su Mei and the others? That¡¯s why she needed them to remember every step and method to cross over. Now, Li Yun Qing was willing to try. He really helped Murong Qi Qi out a great deal.
¡°Cousin brother, you must be careful. Don¡¯t touch the golden silk threads. Also, trouble you to sprinkle these powders on the ground as you cross over. So,ter we can follow this road.¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Li Yun Qing packed everything and took a deep breath. His gaze fell gently on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face.
¡°Little cousin sister needs to be attentive. I¡¯m still young and haven¡¯t married yet. Li family¡¯s line still needs me to continue. If little cousin sister make a mistake, then I won¡¯t be able to go back.¡±
Li Yun Qing was as humorous as always and made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nervous heart rx.
¡°Cousin brother, rest assured! I won¡¯t let anything happen to you! I still need to see you marry cousin-inw. I¡¯m still waiting to carry a nephew! Hand it to me, don¡¯t worry!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
After looking deeply at Murong Qi Qi once more, Li Yun Qing turned and walked to the golden silk thread web. If I can, I hope the one to be my bride is you. It¡¯s just, this wish has now be a luxury. Since I can¡¯t be the one at your side, then I¡¯ll do something for you......
¡°Lift the left foot. One, two, fall. Slide with the left foot. One, two, stop. Roll on the ground. Stop. Turn to the left. Bow and arrow step, slide......¡±
Bow and arrow step: name of a dance step
Murong Qi Qi looked at the golden silk threads in the air. On her forehead was a thinyer of sweat. Li Yun Qing, under Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®maniption¡¯, was like a gymnast, travelling back and forth on the golden silk web. Even his clothes didn¡¯t touch a single golden silk thread. Li Yun Qing did as Murong Qi Qi ordered. He sprinkled the ck powder on the ground. On the ground was now one ck road.
Three very slow minutes passed. When Li Yun Qing waved at Murong Qi Qi on the stone stair, Wanyan Kang jumped excitedly.
¡°Crossed! Really crossed over! Cousin-inw, you¡¯re too awesome!¡±
Murong Qi Qi sighed of relief and wiped the sweats from her forehead. She also tied up her dress and her hair
¡°Su Mei, did you remember all the steps? Everyone, remember the steps! If you want to cross over, you must do it ording to the steps.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to finish, Long Duo opened his mouth.
¡°Princess could¡¯ve crossed over by yourself. You didn¡¯t need to bother with us. Why do you give us the steps? Are we notpetitors?¡±
Long Duo¡¯s words were also the questions everyone wanted to ask. If Murong Qi Qi only passed the steps to Bei Zhou, it¡¯s the best for her if only they crossed over. Then Bei Zhou would be the first ce in the tournament of the four countries. Wasn¡¯t this first ce something Murong Qi Qi wanted?
After hearing Long Duo¡¯s questions, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t exin any further.
¡°Those who want to cross over, follow the steps. Those who don¡¯t want to, stay here.¡±
After saying that, Murong Qi Qi turned and entered the golden silk thread web.
Although just now, Li Yun Qing crossed over under Murong Qi Qi¡¯s guidance, but all his movements were very stiff. He was barely able to get through. Now, seeing Murong Qi Qi move like running water, everyone couldn¡¯t help but praise in their hearts.
¡°Too amazing!¡±
Wanyan Kang looked dazedly at how quickly Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure disappeared. He was very surprised.
¡°Cousin brother truly married a treasure!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s words were especially displeasing to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ears. Longze Jing Tian was now clearly aware of what kind of treasure he missed. He regretted it very much.
Su Mei, Ruyi and Wanyan Kang followed behind Murong Qi Qi and sessfully passed through the golden silk thread web. Xi Qi¡¯s people also sessfully passed. Even Murong Qing Lian, who was jealous of Murong Qi Qi, at this moment also honestly did as Murong Qi Qi said. She bound her hair and did as how Su Mei guided her to reach the other side.
After the people of Nan Feng also crossed over, the people of the three countries were once again together. Also, those five people of Dong Lu were forced to cross over by Longze Jing Tian and the others.
¡°We finally passed the second level!¡±
Hn Lian Yi wiped the sweats on his forehead. Just now, when he was passing through the golden silk thread web, he was very frightened. Fortunately, he remembered all the steps and arrived safely.
¡°Thanking princess Zhao Yang!¡±
Longze Jing Tian led the others to bow at Murong Qi Qi. The others didn¡¯t say anything, only lowered their heads and bowed at Murong Qi Qi. Everyone knew that at this second level, Murong Qi Qi could¡¯ve ignored them. However, she didn¡¯t hide it. She let everyone pass the second level smoothly and safely.
¡°You¡¯re wee! If you have something to say, wait until we pass all the five levels! Maybe, next time, we will all bepetitors!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words reminded these people that there were five more levels! Five levels! Before, the first level was the attack of Dong Lu¡¯s people. The second level was a battle with golden silk threads. Don¡¯t know what the next five levels would be! Thinking about this, everyone¡¯s hearts sank and they all went up to the third floor.
The moment they reached the third floor, everyone couldn¡¯t help but shiver. So cold! They looked around. Everywhere was surrounded by a vast of white. Everywhere was covered in a thickyer of snow. There were also valleys and pine trees covered in snow. Everything was so life-like, as if they weren¡¯t in a pagoda. If it wasn¡¯t because the roof was still built by stones and bricks, people would¡¯ve thought that they were outside the Great Wall.
¡°Oh god! Truly magical!¡±
Murong Qing Lian began to exim.
¡°This time, Dong Lu truly put much effort (in terms of money), ah! These trees are actually real!¡±
As Murong Qing Lian was speaking, she also kicked the trunk.
¡°This snow......¡±
Li Yun Qing touched the snow on the ground and put it on his nose. He also tasted it.
¡°It¡¯s real snow.¡±
¡°Truly too magical!¡±
As everyone entered the third floor, they curiously looked around. Everything was wrapped around ayer of white. No matter if it was the trees, the valleys or the snow, everything was real. Don¡¯t know what kind of traps were hidden in this snow.
¡®Sou, sou, sou!¡¯
Just as everyone was searched for the traps to be on guard, three cold arrows came from the roof.
¡°Su Mei, follow me! Ah Kang, Ruyi, you two form a group. Remember to be careful!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shouted and then rolled into the snow. Su Mei followed behind Murong Qi Qi and also hid in the snow.
The other people also came back to their senses from the sudden attack. They also formed groups with their respective teams and also hid inside the thinyers of snow.
Su Mei¡¯s weapon was a small bow and arrow. It¡¯s good enough to carry in the left hand. Murong Qi Qi hid behind a valley, looking for the location where those sharp arrows hade from. It turned out to be a small ck window.
Murong Qi Qi counted. There were four windows in total, respectively at the four directions; east, south, west and north. It controlled the whole third floor without letting go of even one corner.
¡°Ah!¡±
A scream was heard. One of the people of Nan Feng had been shot.
¡°There¡¯s poison on the arrows!¡±
Long Duo looked at thepanion next to him, who had been shot with the arrow and their face had turned ck. He screamed: ¡°Really despicable! Everyone, be careful!¡±
With Long Duo¡¯s reminder, the remaining people were particrly vignt. However, the arrows didn¡¯t stop there, but continued to shoot at the people hidden in the snow ground.
¡®Shua, shua, shua......¡¯
A row of ck arrowsnded next to Wanyan Kang¡¯s feet, only half an inch from his toes.
¡°F***! Bastard! Fortunately, this master has a lucky life!¡±
Wanyan Kang rolled to another side and escaped the next attack.
¡°Really shameless. Do they want to test us or kill us, ah?! They even used the crossbows from the army! Damn Dong Lu, don¡¯t let this master go out. If this master gets out, this master will destroy you! F*** them!¡±
Wanyan Kang said what¡¯s in everyone¡¯s hearts. The previous knockoutpetitions were also thrilling, but they were not ck like this. Dong Lu¡¯s people are truly vile! Thinking till here, everyone red at those five still very alive Dong Lu people, scaring them so much that they shivered. One person didn¡¯t pay attention and was shot by an arrow. He stumbled about and went to see the king of hell.
¡°Haha, he deserved it. Great satisfaction, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kangughed. Su Mei couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. Is this man stupid? At this time, he didn¡¯t think about how to pass the level. Instead, he¡¯sughing at others. Really don¡¯t know if he¡¯s na?ve or what.
¡°Miss, what should we do?¡±
Su Mei looked at the four ck eyes at the top.
¡°Miss, I counted. Behind every hole, there are two people. They took turns to shot the arrows. Should we kill them?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s look at the situation first.¡±
Murong Qi Qi narrowed her eyes.
The knockoutpetition Dong Lu brought this time was too surprising. There were surprises at every level of the pagoda. Just now, Murong Qi Qi discovered something; these four holes didn¡¯t go against any particr party. Also, they didn¡¯t let the people of Dong Lu off just because they were from Dong Lu. Could it be that they didn¡¯t care about their own? Or could there be more secrets to this?
Although the arrowsing from the four holes were shot at the contestants of the four countries, but the focus was on the stairs to the fourth floor. The moment someonees close to those stairs, all four pairs of people would shoot arrows at the same time. By then, there¡¯ll be a gap.
It¡¯s just, a bait is needed. After luring the four pairs of people, everyone needed to go up the stairs at the same time.
¡°Cousin-inw, think of something, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kang and Ruyi ¡®rolled¡¯ towards Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Several people have already died. Cousin-inw, if you still don¡¯t think of a way, then everyone will die here!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice made everyone¡¯s gaze fall upon Murong Qi Qi. Before, she was able to unlock the secret of the golden silk threads with no difficulty. Could she already have thought of a way out now?
Seeing that those people were counting on Murong Qi Qi, one of Su Mei¡¯s eyebrows was raised.
¡°You, such a big man, can¡¯t you think of a way with such a big head?! Howe you count on our miss for everything?! Could it be that, if my miss wasn¡¯t here, then you will go die?!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s words were very ugly to hear. Wanyan Kang smiled embarrassingly. Su Mei scolding Wanyan Kang like that; in fact she was scolding those people, who were waiting for others to solve the problem for them and have the thought to reap where they had not sown, through Wanyan Kang. There were some smart people, whose faces burned after listening to Su Mei. They immediately lowered their heads.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t care about how many people have died. After all, this was a tournament and also the knockoutpetition. Naturally, there will be death and injuries. Besides, the other three countries were theirpetitors. If everyone passed, then wouldn¡¯t the finals take up several days to finish?
They were now in a time of the eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his own special talent. If they all passed, how could it then still be called the knockoutpetition?! However, thepetition of this time was truly strange. How could this be an ordinarypetition?! It¡¯s like a purgatory test.
Now was not the time to fight between themselves. Although among these contestants, there were people she didn¡¯t like and even hated, but there were also people she cared about and also her friends. Even if now she, Bai Yi Yue and Li Yun Qing were divided into different camps, but they¡¯re still her friends. She didn¡¯t want something to happen to them.
¡°Ah Kang, your qinggong3 is good. Go to the stone stairs to lure the enemy. Remember, don¡¯t let those arrows touch you. Su Mei, Ruyi, you are responsible for the eyes on the east side. Jing wang, asking you and Qing Lian be responsible for the eyes of the north side. Cousin brother and miss Bai, be responsible for the eyes of the west side. Young master Hn, the south is for you guys. When Ah Kang reaches the stone stairs and lures all the arrows over, everyone take action at the same time and fight for the chance. The rest of the people will help cover up!¡±
No one had any objections. Just now, Longze Jing Tian had already found the problem. Her arrangement was also the best.
¡°Alright! Let¡¯s do it like that!¡±
Longze Jing Tian opened his mouth, even if Murong Qing Lian had any objections, she could only humph coldly.
The rest, including the people of Dong Lu, didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. Two of the six of them have already died. Now, the remaining four have long forgotten that their mission was to kill these opponents and get the first ce. Now, from their point of view, the best way was to follow the group. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t even know how they died.
After arranging everything, Murong Qi Qi closely watched the frequency of each archer behind the hole. After determining everything, Murong Qi Qi nodded at everyone.
¡°Ready! Ah Kang, go!¡±
Immediately, Wanyan Kang rushed like the wind to the stone stairs that lead to the fourth floor. The people behind the four holes became aware that there¡¯s someone who wanted to sneak upstairs. All four directions pointed their arrows at Wanyan Kang.
¡®Sou, sou, sou!¡¯
¡°Aiyaya, grandchildren, your archery skills are just so so, ah! Be faster, more faster!¡±
Wanyan Kang shouted while his body escaped the arrows, extremely agile.
¡°Now is the time! Action!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s order fell, the people who were assigned with a task came to the four corners.
¡®Sou!¡¯
Su Mei¡¯s small arrow urately shot into the ck hole.
¡°Ah......,¡± with a scream that person stopped shooting. However, behind him someone quickly took his ce.
¡®Ceng......¡¯
The dart in Ruyi¡¯s hand also went through the ck hole.
¡®Pu......¡¯
It seemed like someone fell. From the ck hole at the east, no more arrows were shot out.
¡°We seeded!¡±
Su Mei shouted happily. At the same time, the people at the other three ces also began to move. In a moment, the people who were attacking them behind the ck holes have been killed.
¡°Heh, heh, that was a close call!¡±
Wanyan Kang stopped and wiped the sweat from his face.
¡°I¡¯m still alive, so good! This master is still alive!¡±
What Wanyan Kang was saying was also what the others were thinking. They had finally passed this level! At this time, the way everyone looked at Murong Qi Qi was particrly different. Even Hn Lian Yi, who had been cheated out a hundred thousand golden teals by Murong Qi Qi, was also full of admiration towards Murong Qi Qi.
If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qi Qi had thought of such an idea, they really didn¡¯t know how many people would have died at this level! Buting back to this topic; if someone else hade up with this idea and wanted everyone to cooperate, others may not have listened to it.
Perhaps it¡¯s because Murong Qi Qi had helped them for free at the second level, that¡¯s why these contestants developed trust in her and also listened to hermands!
¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time for the fourth level!¡±
Murong Qi Qi went up the stairs.
At this time, everyone felt that their feet were unusually heavy. They don¡¯t know what was waiting for them. Even the four remaining Dong Lu¡¯s people¡¯s moods were also very bad.
When they arrived at the fourth floor, Murong Qi Qi suddenly turned and looked at Dong Lu¡¯s people.
¡°Who is that Jia Lan? Why are his tests so vicious? Aren¡¯t you also Dong Lu¡¯s citizens? Why did he let youe here to die?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words sank to the bottom of these people¡¯s heart. When they had entered, they had fifty people. Now, only four were left. Forty-six people had died. All of them were their Dong Lu¡¯s contestants, ah! They were lives, ah!
¡°Sir Jia Lan is......¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
A ck-clothed man was trying to say the identity of Jia Lan, but got scolded by a fat man next to him.
¡°Are the things of sir Jia Lan something we can talk about?!¡±
Being scolded by the fat man, the ck-clothed man lowered his head and didn¡¯t speak any further.
Seeing that, Murong Qi Qi raised her eyebrows and sneered: ¡°Now, it¡¯s we who are in the same boat. Since you want to keep secrets, then the following roads, you can go by yourselves. I won¡¯t help anymore. By then, life and death are ruled by fate, riches and honor are in heaven. If you can leave the pagoda alive, then it¡¯s your blessing! If you die, then don¡¯t forget to thank your sir Jia Lan!¡±
Chapter 93 The strike of the beauty (1)
Chapter 93 The strike of the beauty (1)
Outside the pagoda, Feng Cang has been frowning. One hour already passed. Although it¡¯s only an hour, why did his heart feel so empty?! It felt like as if Murong Qi Qi left for a long time.......
¡°Wangye1, this subordinate did as you ordered and deployed the troops over here. Now, even a fly can¡¯t fly out of this Buddha temple!¡±
Ji Xiang held a ck umbre to shelter Feng Cang from the wind and snow.
¡°Good!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s gaze has been staying on the pagoda in front of him. From the moment Murong Qi Qi entered the pagoda, it began to snow. The snow was like a goose feather, flying everywhere. Originally Ji Xiang wanted for Feng Cang to go rest in a room of the temple, but he insisted on waiting here till Murong Qi Qies out.
Theyers ofyers of ck stones are the basement of this towering pagoda. Because the age was somewhat old, mottled moss grew on those ck stones. They were like traces left through all these years and engraved deeply in the pagoda. Now, on the snow, the pagoda became hazy. It was as if the pagoda wore a mysterious coat, making people unable to see its trueness.
It¡¯s said that this pagoda was built by thest emperor of the former Qin. The pagoda took twenty years to build. Originally, it wasn¡¯t called pagoda to drive away evil spirits. It¡¯s just, when in the harem of the former Qin appeared a nine-tailed fox demon, the former Qin¡¯s emperor invited a master to catch the fox demon and sealed the fox demon in this pagoda. So, that¡¯s how it got the name pagoda to drive away evil spirits.
However, it¡¯s only some legend. How could there be fox demon in this world?
Later, the former Qin was destroyed in one night. All the treasures of the former Qin¡¯s pce disappeared. At that time, there were people who said the fox demon took those treasures. After that, the Buddha temple was baptised after suffering fire of the war.
Everyone searched in the Buddha temple but didn¡¯t dug out any treasure. Also, they didn¡¯t find the so-called fox demon. Later, the matter was settled by leaving it unsettled. The whereabouts of those treasures stayed unknown and the Buddha temple deteriorated.
¡®Shua......shua......¡¯
A burst of sound of the snow reached over. An old monk with a crooked back swept the snow on the ground with an old broom. Although the Buddha temple dropped to the bottom from the peak of its time, but this temple kept some monks. Not much, only a dozen. They were mostly old people.
This monk¡¯s gray eyebrows touched at the corner of his eyes. His gray beard also hung on his chest. He has a thin stature and an ugly face. His clothes were worn out. There were patches here and patches there. The patches were somewhat roughly done. His hands were like dead branched, clenching the broom.
¡®Shua......shua......¡¯
Quietly the broom pierced in the snow.
When the monk, while sweeping the snow came to Feng Cang¡¯s side, he slightly raised his head. He looked at Feng Cang once, but didn¡¯t say anything.
¡°Sorry!¡±
Feng Cang to a step back to make way for the monk and stood at the other side. The monk didn¡¯t say a word. He kept his head down and continued to sweep and carefully cleaning the ground.
¡°Ji Xiang, when we go back let someone sent some food, vegetable and eggs to the Buddha temple. Also, let someone send some clothes over and also some cotton. Soon, it¡¯ll be new year! Let the monks at the temple also have a good year!¡±
¡°Yes! This subordinate will remember this.¡±
The old monk heard Feng Cang¡¯s voice very clearly. He didn¡¯t say thanks and didn¡¯t stop. He continued to sweep the snow and slowly left.
¡°Wangye is kind-hearted!¡±
Jia Lanughed and stepped on the clean ground to Feng Cang.
¡°It¡¯s seems that the rumors are false. Although demon wang Feng Cang has a cold face, but also has a warm heart.¡±
¡°Presumptuous!¡±
Hearing Jia Lan using ¡®demon wang¡¯ to call Feng Cang, Ji Xiang shouted angrily. She was about to pull out her sword, but has been stopped by Feng Cang¡¯s raising his hand.
¡°You have something to say?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s gaze didn¡¯t move. It still stayed on the pagoda. He wished his gaze could prate through the thick ck stones and see Murong Qi Qi. Don¡¯t know which floor she reached now. Don¡¯t know if she¡¯s still safe or injured?
¡°I just came to ask wangye why the eagle troop surrounded the Buddha temple?¡±
No matter how the other party is, Jia Lan still kept an unchanging smile. Sometimes it could make people so angry their teeth ttered and they would wish they could punch that handsome face.
Feng Cang¡¯s reached out and clenched a snowke at his fingertips. He looked sideways at Jia Lan and revealed a smile that could tempt the whole world.
¡°If something happens to benwang¡¯s 2 beloved consort, benwang will let everyone go apany her in death, including you......¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s smile was very much devilish beautiful, making Jia Lan lost his soul. When he came back to his senses, Feng Cang already turned back and continued to look at the pagoda.
Devil! This is Jia Lan¡¯s evaluation of Feng Cang in his heart.
He arrived at Yongzhou for some day and also saw Feng Cang a few times. In the past, Jia Lan would feel that those rumors were false. He saw that there was no killing aura on Feng Cang. Jia Lan was somewhat doubting Feng Cang¡¯s title of ¡®demon wang¡¯. He felt that the people exaggerated.
But that smile of just now and that glimpse, Jia Lan finally felt that Feng Cang¡¯s reputation is not in vain.
So, the highest realm is not always emitting dangerous aura that made people fear and be in awe. Breaking through the strong realm, achieving the ¡®peace¡¯ realm, then the aura could be freely manipted. The more still and quiet the breezes and waves are, the more it is a warning that the rainstorm is approaching. Like this man in front of him; when he¡¯s angry, he may not be really a danger. However, such a calm him will let people¡¯s heart go cold.......
Following Feng Cang¡¯s gaze, Jia Lan also looked at the pagoda.
Don¡¯t know if that person who let Nan Lin wang be deeply worried, will truly be able to carry the title of Nan Lin wangfei3 and has the qualification to stand next to Feng Cang.
The seven level pagoda Misha set is not as easy to break though as imagined. Peni ind has so much high skilled people as the clouds in the sky. However, there were very few people who passed the seven level tests. Inside, it¡¯s a battle of people¡¯s heart. There are many many tests to test the human nature. If there¡¯s truly someone who could pass the seven floor pagoda, then this person¡¯s mind must be very powerful......
Inside the pagoda, the fourth floor is not quiet as the second floor and also not as bright as the third floor. It was dark as night.
There was no light. The whole floor was like a bottomless ck hole with an open mouth waiting to swallow all these people. This endless ck made people be afraid. Inexplicable, fear rose in their hearts.
¡°You go!¡±
Long Duo pushed that fat Dong Lu¡¯s person who didn¡¯t want to tell them the truth.
¡®Zhi, zhi, jiji......¡¯
After a burst of sound, a series of scream could be heard.
¡°Save me, ah! No! Save me! I don¡¯t want to die! Save me......¡±
The voice of the fat man brought chill to people¡¯s bones. What is it exactly? What happened to him?
¡°Fatty! Fatty, what happened?¡±
Long Duo stretched his head, wanting to take a good look inside. However, no matter how, he couldn¡¯t see through this ckness.
¡°Fatty, if you¡¯re still alive, answer, ah! Fatty!¡±
For a long time, no sound came out. Long Duo swallowed.
¡°He must be dead.¡±
¡°I brought a fire stick!¡±
Murong Qing Lian volunteered to take out the fire stick. She lit it and threw it inside.
¡®Hong......¡¯
A group of ck things rushed past and extinguish the fire. The whole floor became dark again.
¡°Look!¡±
Bai Yi Yue pointed at somewhere. Following where she pointed at, everyone saw one after another gorgeous red gems. They blinked like stars in the sky.
¡°Rubies!¡±
One of Nan Feng¡¯s contestants reached out his hand to touch them. Immediately he was drowned into ckness. He wasn¡¯t even able to make a sound.
¡°So frightening......¡±
Losing one contestant again, Hn Lian Yi¡¯s body turned cold.
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Rats!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer lifted everyone¡¯s doubts. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Murong Qi Qi took a deep breath.
¡°If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, this whole floor is full of rats. If we enter, we¡¯ll be rat food.¡±
¡°What? Rats?!¡±
Hearing this, Murong Qing Lian began to get mad. She has always hated these nauseous animals, especially rats.
¡°No way! This Dong Lu is too perverted. They actually came up with so many rats? Really perverted, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s shout wasn¡¯t over yet when the fourth floor finally lit up.
A chain as thick as a baby¡¯s arm led to the stairs of the fifth floor. Below the chain was a pit. Ten thousand of rats gathered inside the pit. Those rats jumped and bounced, wanting to get out of the pit. The height with they jumped was just to chain.
¡°Ou......¡±
Seeing such a scene, Murong Qing Lian vomited the digestive fluids of her stomach.
¡°Really disgusting! Ou......¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk, I thought that fourth miss was afraid of nothing! I didn¡¯t think that fourth miss is afraid of rats!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian like that, Su Mei immediately seized the opportunity to ridicule her. That she wasn¡¯t able to let Murong Qing Lian suffer, already made Su Mei very unhappy. Now she finally got the chance, how could she let it pass?!
¡°Ou......¡±
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t have the strength to fight with Su Mei. Those bouncing rats even let her have the heart to die.
¡°These rats went hungry for many days.¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at the rats. She admires the person who came up with these tests even more. She didn¡¯t expect that in this era, there¡¯s still someone with such flexible brains. These simple rats are not the frightening thing. Presumably this test isn¡¯t so simple!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s guess has soon been verified. A red me extended from the stairs at the other side. When the people got nearer did they discover that under this chain, a stove was ced. Inside the stove was covered with pine oil.
Because of the fire, the rats scattered for a while. However after a moment, they tried to climb up more stubbornly. One after another, they jumped to the chain.
¡°Are the rats not afraid of the fire? Why do they still dare to jump to the chain? Later when the chain got hot, then what......¡±
Hn Lian Yi frowned while looking at this scene. And his words reminded everyone; how should they go over when the chain is hot?
¡°Because this chain is coated with things they like! Yi Yue, you¡¯re injured. You go first!¡±
Murong Qi Qi pushed Bai Yi Yue to the chain.
¡°I¡¯ll follow behind you!¡±
Knowing that Murong Qi Qi gave the opportunity to her, Bai Yi Yue was touched. She¡¯s also afraid of rats. At this time, her feel also lost strength. Standing in front of the chain, looking at the jumping rats, she was somewhat frightened.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Nothing will happen. Look forward. Don¡¯t look down and also don¡¯t listen to the sounds! I¡¯ll be behind you! If you don¡¯t go now,ter, there won¡¯t be time anymore! When the chain gets hot, no one will be able to cross over!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took out something and put it in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s ears. With Murong Qi Qi¡¯s encourage, Bai Yi Yue stepped on the chain and ¡®run¡¯ to the other side.
¡°Good qinggong4!¡±
Murong Qi Qi praised and also embarked on the chain.
At this time, the chain already has some temperature. Murong Qi Qi was surprised. While she flew to the other side with the help of the chain, she reminded the other people: ¡°Everyone, be careful. The chain is getting hotter! Cross over one after another. Grab the time very well!¡±
That Murong Qi Qi was able to cross smoothly, made Longze Jing Tian secretly surprised.
The light and graceful figure of Murong Qi Qi just now, made him dazed. This woman obviously knows martial arts! She knows martial arts! She hid it from everyone! Even Murong Tai didn¡¯t know! They all have been ¡®deceived¡¯ by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fa?ade!
A feeling of being deceived entered Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart. Thinking back about that matter of annulling the marriage, could this also have been nned by Murong Qi Qi? Could it be that she didn¡¯t want to marry him? She was willing to bear those bad reputations to get the letter of breaking the engagement from him?!
This woman actually yed him like a monkey! Could it be that he looks like an idiot?! Longze Jing Tian clenched his fist and mercilessly hit the wall. Until when the stone scrape his skin and he began to bleed, did he felt pain.
¡°Wangye, are you alright?!¡±
Murong Qing Lian endured the vomit and shouted: ¡°Wangye, you¡¯re bleeding!¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±
Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth. His gaze followed Murong Qi Qi. Good, very well! You actually yed me and had me eating from your palms! You actually amused yourself with me! Murong Qi Qi, since you want to escape me like this, then I¡¯ll get you. I¡¯ll punish you and let you be my ve!
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Hn Lian Yi and Long Duo already crossed the chain. Now, only Xi Qi¡¯s people and the three people from Dong Lu were left.
¡°You go first!¡±
At this time, Longze Jing Tian emitted a strong cold aura, making people couldn¡¯t help but shiver. The three people from Dong Lu saw Longze Jing Tian like that, they went on the chain while trembling.
¡°Zhizhi!¡±
The rats in the pit under the chain shouted livelier. One mouse jumped to a person from dDng Lu¡¯s foot. It opened its mouth and bit.
¡°Ah!¡±
That man felt pain. He didn¡¯t stand firm and fell into the pit full of rats.
All the rats swarmed and surrounded this man. White sparkling rat¡¯s teeth gnawed on that person¡¯s body. That person struggled to stand up. His whole body was covered with ck rats. One mouth opened its mouth and dug out one of this person¡¯s eyes.
¡°Ah!¡±
The man¡¯s miserable scream spread to the other people¡¯s ears. Bai Yi Yue closed her eyes. She couldn¡¯t bear to see such a tragic scene.
¡°Ou......¡±
Seeing the rats eating a raw living person, Murong Qing Lian once again held onto the wall and vomited. Now she vomited all that she could vomit. Tears streamed down her face. She looked particrly pitiful.
¡°Yun Qing, you go first! Miss Murong,e. Go up my back!¡±
Longze Jing Tian squatted and patted his shoulder at Murong Qing Lian.
Murong Qing Lian froze. She didn¡¯t understand Longze Jing Tian¡¯s meaning.
¡°Wangye, you?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll piggyback you!¡±
¡°This, this......¡±
¡°Quickly! Otherwise, a bitter, we won¡¯t be able to cross anymore!¡±
Longze Jing Tian grabbed Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hand and put it on his shoulder. He stepped on the chain. The heat spread from his soles to his feet.
This is bad! The chain is nearly getting ming hot!
¡°Go!¡±
Longze Jing Tian ran as fast as flying on the ming hot chain.
Pu, pu, pu! It¡¯s rare that the Murong Qing Lian lying on Longze Jing Tian¡¯s back was quiet. She was well behaved like a rabbit. Don¡¯t know if her face was red because the hotness of the chain or because she was shy.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s shoulder is very strong and also very wide. Moreover, the smell on his body is very good to smell. A faint fragrance of ambergris, a faint fragrance of a man¡¯s odour......Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t know why, when Longze Jing Tian crossed over with her, those ces in her heart filled by Feng Cang has been reced with Longze Jing Tian.
You¡¯re able to see people¡¯s true heart in difficult times! Only Longze Jing Tian was still thinking about her at this time and also helping her. She was able to see that such a man is what a true man should be!
Just while Murong Qing Lian was in the clouds, Longze Jing Tian reached the stairs.
¡°Wangye, how are you?¡±
Li Yun Qing saw that Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good and his forehead was full of sweat, he immediately went forward to care for him. Also, Li Yun Qing¡¯s voice pulled Murong Qing Lian back from her fantasies. She quickly came down and looked concerned at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Wangye, how are you?¡±
¡°Is your feet burned?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice reached over. The medicine in her hand was also handed over,
¡°Your soles must be burned. First apply the medicine and then bandage your feet. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be troublesome if your feet be infected.¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was standing so ¡®strongly¡¯ in front of her, Murong Qing Lian was very furious. Why does this woman need to meddle in every time, making her feel useless? She was just about to reject Murong Qi Qi¡¯s good intentions, Li Yun Qing already took over the medicine from Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Thanks!¡±
Longze Jing Tian sat down. He gritted his teeth and took off his shoes. When he crossed over, his soles have been burned by the chain. Even his socks were burned. On Longze Jing Tian¡¯s feet were full of thumb sized blood blisters. Seeing these blood blisters, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s tears fell.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, wangye. It¡¯s all because of me!¡±
If Longze Jing Tian crossed by himself, per the weight of an ordinary person plus the qinggong, he would onlye in contact with the hotness superficially and wouldn¡¯t have hurt his feet. Also, when Longze Jing Tian crossed, the chain was already burned so much it turned red. Besides, on his back was one more person. The weight has increased. That¡¯s why, he was burned like this.
Murong Qing Lian carefully applied medicine for Longze Jing Tian. While applying the medicine, she cried. Have to say, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s medicine was excellent. When applying, that burning feeling disappeared and it was a lot cooler.
¡°Thank you!¡±
Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi across the people. Just now, he hated this woman very much, but now he couldn¡¯t help but appreciate her. If it wasn¡¯t because of her medicine, then his feet may be in trouble. Maybe his feet would have been finished if his wound was infected. This woman is very hateful, but also made people unable not to not love her. Very contradicting......

Chapter 94 The strike of the beauty (2)
¡°You¡¯re wee!¡±
Murong Qi Qi slightly nodded as answer to Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Does Jing wang1 want to rest for a while or go to the fifth floor with us?¡±
Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to answer, Murong Qing Lian stood up first. Tears were in her eyes, but the she looked angrily at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, wangye is already hurt like this. Could he walk?! What do you mean, ah?! Making wangye follow you, what if the wound on his feet got more serious, then what?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat baffled at Murong Qing Lian¡¯s emotions.
¡°I asked wangye. Can you represent wangye?¡±
¡°You......¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words blocked Murong Qing Lian tightly. Indeed, who is she? She is nothing, let alone speak on Longze Jing Tian¡¯s behalf.
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±
Longze Jing Tian bandaged his feet well and stood up.
¡°I¡¯m Xi Qi¡¯s leader. I must advance and retreat with everyone! I can do it!¡±
¡°Wangye......¡±
Murong Qing Lian was very furious that Longze Jing Tian ¡®listened¡¯ to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words like that.
¡°Wangye, she asked deliberately. She obviously knows your feet is hurt......¡±
¡°I¡¯m not crippled!¡±
Longze Jing Tian frowned.
¡°Let¡¯s go! To the fifth floor!¡±
Murong Qing Lian had no way to object to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s decision. She could only mutter and follow behind him.
After experiencing four tests, Bei Zhou still has four people. Xi Qi also has four. Only three were left of Nan Feng. Two were left of Dong Lu.
These tests were one more perverted than the other. They were also one more difficult than the other. The closer they got to the fifth floor, the more nervous they got. They don¡¯t know what was waiting for them.
When they reached the fifth floor, it was all glittering, making people¡¯s eyes hurt like as if there was a thorn in their eyes. When they got used by the golden light, they found out that here is a ¡®paradise on earth¡¯.
Everywhere was gold and jade in a glorious splendour. Everywhere were gold and silver jewelleries. There were men who likes treasured swords and daggers. There were also women who likes gold and jade. Aside from these, this fifth floor also has a bigndscape that made people surprised. That was those men and women dressed in golden silk and silver satin.
¡°Beauty, ah......¡±
When Long Duo saw a handsome man, his eyes almost fell out.
¡°Is here heaven?!¡±
¡°You¡¯re right. Here is heaven!¡±
The man whom Long Duo took a fancy on, slowly walked towards him (LD). This man was iparably handsome. His ck hair hung loose on his shoulder. His eyes were full of temptation. When he arrived at Long Duo¡¯s side, that man¡¯s hand hooked Long Duo¡¯s waist. The other hand raised his (LD) chin.
¡°Beauty, I¡¯ve waited a long time for you......¡±
¡°Long Duo!¡±
Hn Lian Yi wanted to warn Long Duo, but he has been tangled by two women. One was pure and pleasant. The other was iparably beautiful. One wrapped Hn Lian Yi at the left, the other wrapped him on the right and led him to a ce to sit down.
¡°What, what do you want?¡±
Hn Lian Yi was also very nervous. He also felt that his breath increased. He also became ill at ease.
¡°Big brother, howe you didn¡¯te see Yu er2 for so long?! Big brother, Yu er misses you very much!¡±
A sweet smile on a pure small face with a touch of sadness.
¡°Doesn¡¯t big brother like Yu er anymore?¡±
Facing the sweet and beautiful girl¡¯s int¡¯, Hn Lian Yi didn¡¯t know what to say. He could only shake his head.
¡°Big brother, what do you like? I¡¯ll go get them for you! Look, this is a treasured sword. Does big brother like it?¡±
The girl picked up a sword embedded with turquoise and red gemstones. She knelt in front of Hn Lian Yi.
Her clothes were just a few pieces of thin fabric. When kneeling, the body moved forward, two semi-circr objects appeared in front of Hn Lian Yi. Across the silver tulle, Hn Lian Yi was able to see the blooming red plums on the snow.
¡°Big brother, do you not like treasured sword? Then do you like this?¡±
The girl knelt there very well-behaved. While she was kneeling, she took a priceless opal. With both hands, she put it in front of Hn Lian Yi. This position made the red plums on her chest more straight and stiff. Stimulus like never before collided in Hn Lian Yi¡¯s brain.
Such a beautiful and pure little young girl made Hn Lian Yi unable to hold himself. He grabbed the girl¡¯s hand and pulled her to him.
¡°Can I take everything I want home? Including you?¡±
¡°Heehee, I knew big brother will choose Yu er!¡±
The girly like a cat on Hn Lian Yi¡¯s body. Loose soft hair fell on Hn Lian Yi¡¯s chest. Her small chin was against Hn Lian Yi¡¯s heart. Slender white tender finger circled on Hn Lian Yi¡¯s body.
¡°Big brother, stay here, alright? Yu er feel very lonely being alone. Big brother, stay here to apany Yu er. Don¡¯t leave Yu er, alright?¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Under ¡®big breasted¡¯ young girl¡¯s temptation, Hn has already forgotten the purpose he came here for. He immediately agreed. Hearing Hn Lian Yi agree, the girl sat up very happily. Her eyes showed that she was very touched.
¡°Big brother, you¡¯re so nice!¡±
It turned out, the ce where the girl sat on was the most sensitive ce on Hn Lian Yi¡¯s body. There, already became hard. The girlughed. Hn Lian Yi blushed. As he was feeling very embarrassed, the girl¡¯s pinkish lips reached over. Her little tongue entered Hn Lian Yi¡¯s mouth.
¡°Can¡¯t, there are others here!¡±
Hn Lian Yi suddenly pushed away the girl. His cheeks were red and he was panting.
¡°Big brother, look. They are also in happiness!¡±
The girl pointed at the surroundings. Only now did Hn Lian Yi discover, the people who came with them, were all scattered around. They lingeringly held onto jewelleries or weapons. Or they were doing with a beautiful man or woman the kind of ¡®happiness¡¯ that the girl said.
¡°Big brother,e!¡±
The girl once again jumped on him and kissed his lips.
At this side, Long Duo has already been tempted very much by the handsome man. His body didn¡¯t even have a strand of clothes and hey beneath the man.
¡°I love you! Oh, beauty!¡±
At that side, the three people from Dong Lu were surrounded by a group of beautiful women. The whole scene was in chaos.
¡°Very frightening!¡±
Wanyan Kang gritted his teeth and nced around.
Indeed, wealth and beauty are the two things that all people in this world were pursuing. Soft jade in one¡¯s embrace with a house full of gold and silver; who doesn¡¯t hope for such a life?! The person who came up with this test caught the greed in people¡¯s heart. That¡¯s why he set up this level. It really trapped those people. Fortunately, he is a prince. He was born with a golden spoon and has long been used to seeing these. That¡¯s why he won¡¯t be tempted by these.
Chinese people like topare people to jade because jade is white and smooth. Asians are obsessed with being white
¡°Cousin inw, let¡¯s go!¡±
When the happy moans of those men and women reached over, Wanyan Kang showed a disgusted face.
¡°Let¡¯s go to the sixth floor!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was thinking the same as Wanyan Kang. All the way up, every floor¡¯s test was so unique and different. Really don¡¯t know who came up with this test? Why could he grasp the human nature so urately......
In the end, only Xi Qi¡¯s and Bei Zhou¡¯s contestants went to the sixth floor. A total of eight people.
Those gold and silver treasures, handsome men and beautiful women to an average person were indeed a lot of temptation. Among these people, they were nothing rare. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s group were all born in riches. What have they not seen before? As for Su Mei and Ruyi, they are personal bodyguards. How could their will bepared to the average person?!
After passing the five floors, this sixth floor made Murong Qi Qi very curious. She opened the door. It was very bright. Looking again, the walls were covered with mirrors.
¡°What is this?¡±
Li Yun Qing stepped inside and looked at a mirror. Suddenly he froze there. Why, why did he see Murong Qi Qi in the mirror? Why was Murong Qi Qi smiling gently at him?
Li Yun Qing froze there, causing the other people¡¯s curiosity. Everyone came in one by one. Didn¡¯t expect that when everyone looked in the mirror, they all froze there.
¡°Little cousin sister, is it you?!¡±
Li Yun Qing walked to the mirror. His fingers touched the cold mirror.
¡°Little cousin sister, I was wrong! I shouldn¡¯t have been so confident. I shouldn¡¯t have let go so easily. Little cousin sister, if I found out about your beauty sooner, then would you have been my bride? Little cousin sister, I regretted it, alright? Tell me, is there medicine for regret in this world?¡±
At this side, Wanyan Kang was also looking dazedly at the mirror.
¡°Consort mother, why do you had to kill nobledy Wan? Is it because she got emperor¡¯s father favor, you need to kill her? Consort mother, when have you be so cruel? So cruel even I can¡¯t recognize you anymore! Those were very alive lives, ah! How did you have the heart to do it?¡±
¡°Also, princess Jing Yuan. You actually pierced her face with a dagger after she already died. Do you hate her face so much because she looked like that woman in emperor father¡¯s heart? Because emperor father loves her? You¡¯re not my consort mother. You¡¯re a vicious woman! Just the thought about all those women you killed in the harem, I¡¯ll feel you¡¯re very frightening! Where did that gentle consort mother of the past go?¡±
¡°I became the emperor! Zhen 3is the emperor!¡±
At the other end, Longze Jing Tianughed loudly.
¡°Zhen wants to crown Murong Qi Qi the empress and also pardon the whole world! Qi Qi, zhen will treat you well. Join hands with zhen. Stay at zhen¡¯s side and expand the territory together with zhen! Zhen will make the whole maind has Xi Qi¡¯s banner. Zhen will make you the happiest woman in this world!¡±
Inside the mirror, Longze Jing Tian saw his long-awaited throne. He also saw his look when he dominates the world. At this time, he is happy. The beauty in his arm; the world became one. How good, how beautiful!
Just when Longze Jing Tian was repeatedly saying ¡®Qi Qi, zhen¡¯s empress¡¯. Murong Qing Lian pasted herself in front of the mirror and cried: ¡°I¡¯m finally the empress! I¡¯m the empress! Wangye, oh, no, no, your majesty, chenqie4 pays respect to your majesty. Your majesty, long live ten thousand, ten thousand, ten, ten, ten thousand years!¡±
Compared to the craziness of these people, Bai Yi Yue was crying silently.
¡°Father, is mother really only that girl¡¯s substitute? Remember Yue (Yi Yue), Remember Yue (Yi Yue), could it be that father really can¡¯t forget that woman called Ming Yue? Father, mother waited for you so many years. Why are you so heartless? This daughter actually hates the name Yi Yue, because this daughter¡¯s....... heart aches for mother......¡±
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s (°×ÒäÔÂ) name means remember(Òä) Yue (ÔÂ). The Yue is the same Yue as princess Ming Yue¡¯s Yue.
At that side, there were crying andughing. At this side, Su Mei knelt in front of the mirror.
¡°Miss, this subordinate being able to serve miss, is this subordinate¡¯s biggest blessing in this life. Miss¡¯s trust is the most precious thing in this world for this subordinate! This subordinate will be loyal to miss this whole lifetime!¡±
¡°Wangye, our army has captured the enemy¡¯s city. Asking wangye to give instructions!¡±
Ruyi stood very straight like a general and saluted in front of the mirror.
¡°Wangye, this time, all credits are on the soldiers. This subordinate only did my duty. Being loyal to wangye is what this subordinate should do!¡±
What happened to all these people?! Murong Qi Qi looked with some panic at the seven people. Since the entered, they were like being possessed and talking to themselves. What is going one exactly? Why nothing happened to her?
¡°Su Mei, wake up! Wake up!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook Su Mei. The other party was repeatedly saying: ¡°Miss, to be able to serve you is this subordinate¡¯s blessing!¡±
Unable to wake up Su Mie, Murong Qi Qi came to Wanyan Kang.
¡°Ah, Kang! Ah, Kang!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have such vicious mother consort! You don¡¯t deserve to be a mother!¡±
Wanyan Kang gritted his teeth. His eyes were fierce.
¡®Pa, pa!¡¯
Seeing Wanyan Kang like that, Murong Qi Qi gave him two ps. However, he still didn¡¯t wake up. He continued to talk to himself and kept saying: Consort mother.¡±
Possessed! Possessed! Could this be the mind control from the legends? Why did all of them be abnormal when looking in the mirror, but nothing happened to her? Murong Qi Qi looked at these mirrors. It seemed that these mirrors are the culprits.
Must destroy the mirrors! Murong Qi Qi looked around. Not to mention a stone, there wasn¡¯t even a pebble here. She wore very convenient clothes today with no extra jewellery. Looking again, Murong Qi Qi saw a pearl ne on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s neck.
Right! Use that! She looked just now, she could only break all these mirrors at the same time to be able to get rid of the ¡®illusion¡¯. On Murong Qing Lian¡¯s neck was a ne made from good pearls. Everyone one of them was a size of the first part of the middle finger. It¡¯s the best choice.
Without hesitating any longer, Murong Qi Qi tore off Murong Qing Lian¡¯s pearl ne from her neck. With the pearls in her hand, she aimed at the mirrors.
¡®Sou, sou, sou......¡¯
The pearls crashed on the mirrors. The mirrors broken in pieces. Every mirror has been broken into pieces. Those seven people¡¯s legs lost strength and sat on the ground.
¡°What happened to me?¡±
Wanyan Kang woke up and touched the tears on his cheeks.
¡°Why did I cry? Really strange!¡±
¡°Ah Kang, you don¡¯t remember anymore?¡¯
Murong Qi Qi looked carefully at Wanyan Kang.
¡°Don¡¯t remember......¡±
Wanyan Kang shook his head. He then felt the burning pain on his face. He immediately got angry.
¡°F***, who hit me? Who hit me?! Who destroyed this master¡¯s handsome face?!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s shout let those people who were still in daze wake uppletely. Everyone looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know what happened.
Seeing that those people has forgotten their state of just now, Murong Qi Qi also pretended to not know.
¡°What happened? My head is a bit dizzy. Su Mei, do you remember? What happened?¡±
¡°I remember entering, then, then, I don¡¯t remember anymore!¡±
Su Mei scratched her head.
¡°Howe I don¡¯t remember anything?!¡±
¡°There¡¯s definitely sorcery here. Let¡¯s leave quickly!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s proposal was recognized by everyone. Everyone stood up and left this strange ce. On the seventh floor, Murong Qing Lian found out her pearl ne disappeared.
¡°Who stole my ne?! Who stole my pearl ne?!¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s shout got Wanyan Kang¡¯s contempt.
¡°Humph! Aren¡¯t they just broken pearls? Losing them, then let them be lost! Besides, you said you wore a ne, then is it that you truly wore a ne? Could it be that you want to extort a ne from someone?!¡±
¡°You......¡±
Being talked like that by Wanyan Kang, Murong Qing Lian was very angry. After seeing the two palm prints on Wanyan Kang¡¯s face, Murong Qing Lian sneered.
¡°Wearing two palm prints, you still have the face to teach people?!¡±
¡°Presumptuous! If you continue to talk to this highness like this, do you believe that this highness will punish you?! Don¡¯t forget, you¡¯re now stepping on Bei Zhou and not your Xi Qi!¡±
Wanyan Kang raised his head. The two red palm prints on his face are now more eye catching. Su Meiughed and went forward to give Wanyan Kang a box of medicine.
¡°Your highness, it¡¯s better that you apply some medicine to avoidter ¡®not having a face to see people¡¯.¡±
Being made fun off by Su Mei, Wanyan Kang immediately hid his original baring fangs and brandishing ws character and changed to all smiles. Wanyan Kang put his face in front of Su Mei.
¡°Good Mei er, help me apply it! I can¡¯t see and also don¡¯t know where the ce is. I know you¡¯re the best and also the most soft-hearted. Help me apply!¡±
¡°Humph!¡±
Su Mei turned and let Wanyan face her back.
¡°Go find Ruyi! Men and women shouldn¡¯t get intimate with each other. I won¡¯t apply for you, you yer!¡±
¡°Ruyi can¡¯t! Ruyi¡¯s hands are rough. This master is soft skinned and tender fleshed. He can¡¯t ruin my face.¡±
Wanyan Kang once again got to Su Mei¡¯s front side. His whole face looked very pitiful.
¡°Look, this master cares the most about this face! If this face is ruined, in the future no one will like me. By then if I can¡¯t marry a wangfei5, then I¡¯ll stay at your home and not leave!¡±
Su Mei already experienced Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®shamelessness¡¯, so she wouldn¡¯t easily agree. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t move Su Mei, Wanyan Kang walked pitifully to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Cousin inw, since small pepper refuse to help others, I can only trouble cousin inw!¡±
Looking at Wanyan Kang¡¯s naughty smile, Murong Qi Qi suddenly thought of those words Wanyan Kang said just now. So, the thing this person wished for the most is motherly love. However, consort De¡¯s image in his heart is so bad, resulting in him crying while angrily saying: ¡°You¡¯re not my consort mother.¡±
It turned out that those smiles and yfulness were all a disguise. This prince isn¡¯t like what you see on the surface.
¡°Alright!¡±
Just as Murong Qi Qi was about to apply medicine for Wanyan Kang, Su Mei angrily came over.
¡°Miss, let me! Such a person like him is not worthy for miss to serve!¡±
Seeing Su Mei like that and seeing the proud smile in Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi smiled. It seemed there will be something, yo!
¡°Then, troubling Mei er!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to say something, Wanyan Kang stuffed the medicine in Su Mei¡¯s hands.
¡°Quickly, here, here, really hurts! Later this master won¡¯t have face to see people!¡±
¡°I know! Don¡¯t talk! So noisy!¡±
While the two were bickering, Su Mei carefully applied medicine on Wanyan Kang¡¯s face.
¡°So fragrant, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kang closed his eyes with a look full of enjoyment.
¡°Mei er, what kind of sachet are you wearing? When you have time also sew one for me, good? This fragrance is quite good. I like it!¡±
¡°Come on, fifth highness......¡±
After applying, Su Mei handed the cream to Wanyan Kang.
¡°You¡¯re so noble and full of splendor. The ingredients of the fragrance you use, I haven¡¯t even seen them (she mean she¡¯s too poor to see those ingredients). My fragrance is just made from sweet scented osmanthus. How could it enter your eyes?! Don¡¯t amuse me just to pass time!¡±
¡°Osmanthus? Good, I want that! Deal, you will make a sachet for me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll pester you every day!¡±
Not letting Su Mei object, Wanyan Kang turned and went to the seventh floor.
¡°Miss, look at him. He bullies people!¡±
Su Mei seeing Wanyan Kang like that, stomped and went toin at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s.
¡°Ah......¡±
Murong Qi Qi saw the shyness in Su Mei¡¯s eyes. Her mood was very good.
¡°Su Mei,st night I was bored and calcted your divinatory diagram. Do you want to know the result of the divinatory diagram?¡±
¡°Divinatory diagram? Miss, you also know that? Howe I didn¡¯t know, ah?! Then what was the result?¡±
All girls are interested in divining. Su Mei is no exception. The moment she heard Murong Qi Qi talk about that, she got interested. Even Wanyan Kang¡¯s pace became a lot slower. His ears also became sharp.
Chapter 95 The seventh test (1)
Chapter 95 The seventh test (1)
¡°The red mystical star moved and got married.¡±
When Su Mei saw the smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, she understood the joke in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words.
¡°Miss, you teased me!¡±
Su Mei blushed.
¡°Miss, you¡¯re really bad!¡±
After Wanyan Kang heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, he got happy. He looked at Murong Qi Qi again and saw her affirmation towards him, his mood turned even better.
He took a fancy on Su Mei. It¡¯s just he doesn¡¯t know what Su Mei will think of it. Besides, Su Mei is Murong Qi Qi¡¯s personal guard. Murong Qi Qi also needs to nod before this matter can turn into something. Now, cousin inw¡¯s words seem to favour him, making him reveal a big smile. He turned back and gave Murong Qi Qi a big bow: ¡°Cousin inw calcted the divination very well. Don¡¯t know if cousin inw can calcte for me. This little brother is searching for a marriage partner!¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Su Mei¡¯s face turned redder. She humphed once and looked elsewhere.
¡°Alright! When we go out of this pagoda,e to Meixiang yuan1. I will calcte for you!¡±
¡°Good! Then this little brother will wait!¡±
Finally, they arrived on the seventh floor. A burst of cold wind came towards them. When they entered, they found out that this seventh floor is the top of the pagoda. There were open spaces everwhere. So, the wind blew in with the snow, making the ground somewhat wet.
¡°Everyone, be careful! Look if there are traps!¡±
Longze Jing Tian was very tense. After experiencing all those perverted tests, thisst test let everyone be more cool about the test. They need to be careful, must be careful, so not to fail at thest moment.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s reminder let the others got more nervous. Everyone looked carefully at this floor in fear of any change and in fear that maybe somewhere dangerous things were hiding and waiting for them.
¡°There¡¯s no one here?¡±
After checking, Li Yun Qing was somewhat surprised.
¡°This seventh floor doesn¡¯t have anyone? Then what is the test of this level?¡±
¡°There are ropes!¡±
Bai Yi Yue pointed at the ropes at a corner. Next the ropes, there was a wooden box. Bai Yi Yue wanted to open it, but has been stopped by Li Yun Qing.
¡°Be careful of traps!¡±
The word ¡®traps¡¯ made everyone be alert. When Wanyan Kang and Li Yun Qing exchanged a nce, the others scattered. The two opened the box at the same them with their swords.
¡°There¡¯s a piece of paper!¡±
After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no movements, Wanyan Kang took out the paper from the box.
¡°Hey! You didn¡¯t even check if there was poison on the paper and directly picked it up with your hands?!¡±
Su Mei saw Wanyan Kang like that, she quickly reminded him, scaring Wanyan Kang. He quickly threw the paper on the ground.
Seeing Su Mei like this, Murong Qi Qi smiled. Chaos caused by concern. Su Mei was in Moyu for so many years, how could she not know what has or doesn¡¯t have poison?
Murong Qi Qi went forward and picked up the paper. She softly read it: ¡°Congrattions on your sess. It¡¯s just the door at the bottom of the pagoda has already been sealed. Asking you all to go down with the ropes. This is also the seventh test, yo!¡±
After hearing that there was no other test, Murong Qing Lian jumped from happiness. She finally passed. Finally, there aren¡¯t those frightening tests anymore!
¡°We passed! We passed!¡±
Murong Qing Lian leaned on the stone pagoda¡¯s railing and shouted to the people beneath the pagoda: ¡°We passed! We passed all tests!¡±
Hearing the sound from the tower, Jia Lan raised his head and saw Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Jinyu, who is that person?¡±
¡°Answering sir Jia Lan, that is Xi Qi¡¯s contestant Murong Qing Lian.¡±
¡°Murong Qing Lian?¡±
Jia Lan frowned and looked at that person who was dancing from happiness in the pagoda. So, she¡¯s the first one to arrive at the top of the pagoda? It¡¯s just, are you that person sir Misha is looking for?
¡°Jinyu, I want all information about Murong Qing Lian from birth till now, everything!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
That there were contestants who appeared at the top of the pagoda also made Feng Cang very excited. When everyone stood at the top of the pagoda, Feng Cang finally saw Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss! Miss!¡±
When Su Yue who has been waiting for the results saw Murong Qi Qi and Su Mei, she jumped from happiness.
¡°Wangye2, look, miss, it¡¯s miss! Miss passed! Miss passed the knockoutpetition!¡±
Ji Xiang was also very happy seeing her little brother Ruyi. She only didn¡¯t show it so obvious like Su Yue.
¡°Wangye, fifth highness and Ruyi also passed the knockoutpetition!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Across the snow, Feng Cang saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand which was waving at him. He couldn¡¯t help himself from also raising his hand and waved at her.
Feng Cang¡¯s tense face finally rxed and revealed a smile. Jin Mo congratted Feng Cang: ¡°Congrattions, wangye! Congrattions, wangye! Now wangye can finally be at ease!¡±
Being teased by Jin Mo, Feng Cang didn¡¯t get angry. His face was filled with joy and pride.
¡°Jin Mo, you can be envious, jealous and hate me! I won¡¯t care!¡±
¡°Envious, jealous and hate?¡±
This is the first time Jin Mo heard of this sentence. He found it new and odd.
¡°Learned from our family¡¯s Qing Qing!¡±
Seeing that Jin Mo didn¡¯t understand, Feng Cang had a face full of happiness and pride.
¡°Jin Mo, you are truly very sorrowful! Without the moisture of love, your mind has already been degraded to the era of apes!¡±
¡°Era of apes? You also learned this from princess? Wangye indeed has a more poisonous tongue now! I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t take long before my title of the poisonous tongue will be passed to wangye!¡±
Jin Mo finally understood. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi has a big influence of Feng Cang.
The people beneath the pagoda were happy. At the pagoda, Wanyan Kang softly leaned against the wall.
¡°F***, f***, f***! No way!¡±
Just now, Wanyan Kang looked over the edge of the wall. Beneath was a vast expanse of white, making him dizzy.
¡°No way! So tall? Go down with the help of the rope? I¡¯m afraid of height, ah! When I look, my head will get dizzy, my legs will go soft. What should I do, ah?!¡±
¡°What to do? Just admit defeat then!¡±
Su Mei pulled the rope and tied it to the pir in the middle. She fiercely pulled twice.
¡°Miss, we can go!¡±
Jia Lan left four ropes for them. After tying the four ropes, Su Mei looked at Wanyan Kang: ¡°Let¡¯s go, fifth highness!¡±
¡°No!¡±
Wanyan Kang backed to a side.
¡°No! Going down from such a high ce, if something goes wrong, then we will be torn bodies and crushed bones. I¡¯m still young. I don¡¯t want to die!¡±
¡°What dying?! How can it be so dangerous?!¡±
Su Mei had a face full of disdain towards Wanyan Kang¡¯s words.
¡°You don¡¯t want to go, then we¡¯ll go! By then we¡¯ll go participate at the finals, then you can watch with craving at a side!¡±
The finals are indeed a good temptation. However, looking down and seeing that they were so high, Wanyan Kang¡¯s legs truly went soft. In the present time¡¯s words, it¡¯s fear heights. Seven floors, fifty to sixty metres high, what should he do when he fell?
¡°No, I won¡¯t go! I forfeit!¡±
Wanyan Kang looked beneath the pagoda once more. Those people beneath only looked like the size of a bean. He really couldn¡¯t think about what will happen when he fell from here. A cold breeze passed. Wanyan Kang shrunk his neck. He was even more unwilling to look down.
¡°Won¡¯t go. Even if you beat me to death, I won¡¯t go!¡±
¡°Then what about beating you not to death?¡±
Su Mei with her hands on her hips stood in front of Wanyan Kang.
¡°Either, go down by yourselves. Everyone will follow you. Or, I¡¯ll let you faint and threw you down. You choose.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Seeing Su Mei ring at him, Wanyan Kang clutched his head. His head had a burst of dizziness.
¡°Cousin inw, save me! I don¡¯t want to die!¡±
Murong Qi Qi has realized that Wanyan Kang has fear of height. It¡¯s just, this matter couldn¡¯t be solved in a short time. It seems that she could only use other methods.
¡°Ah Kang, eat this pill and you¡¯ll be fine!¡±
Murong Qi Qi took out a pill which will make people sleep and handed it over to Wanyan Kang.
¡°Sleep for a while. When you open your eyes, we¡¯ll be on the ground.¡±
Now, Wanyan Kang believes everything Murong Qi Qi says. He immediately swallowed the pill. Not long after, he fell asleep.
¡°Wangye, ah, Kang fears height. We three will escort him down. Can I trouble you to wait for the next opportunity?¡±
¡°No problem!¡±
¡°Wangye!¡±
Seeing Longze Jing Tian agree on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®unreasonable¡¯ request, Murong Qing Lian was very unhappy.
¡°Wangye, if they go down first, then won¡¯t they be the winner? How can that happen?! The world won¡¯t know that they won because of wangye¡¯s modesty. They will only say that their Bei Zhou¡¯s contestants are very powerful! This can¡¯t happen!¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s pestering made Murong Qi Qipletely speechless. Li Yun Qing and Bai Yi Yue looked at Murong Qing Lian once. They felt very shameful for having such a teammate.
Before, if it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qi Qi came up with a way, they would still be trapped down there. How would they be able to reach the top so smoothly?! Now, what¡¯s the problem with letting them go down first? This woman obviously has the same father as Murong Qi Qi, why is her personality so different?
¡°Wangye already put out the words. What qualification do you have to go against it, ah?!¡±
Su Mei couldn¡¯t look anymore at Murong Qing Lian intervening with everything.
¡°Very strange! My family¡¯s miss is so polite and amiable towards others, why does she has such an annoying little sister? Does the problem lie in the gics?!¡±
Murong Qing Lian doesn¡¯t know what ¡®gics¡¯ is, but she is clear that Su Mei wouldn¡¯t say good things.
Although Murong Qing Lian wanted very much to go forward and give Su Mei a p in the face, but now she can¡¯t offend Murong Qi Qi. Besides, she needed to leave a good impression on Longze Jing Tian. She couldn¡¯t let him feel that she is narrow minded. So, Murong Qi Qi swallowed anger down.
¡°Ruyi, be careful! I and miss will guard at your side. We¡¯ll go down together!¡±
Su Mei threw the rope at Ruyi.
¡°Fighting!¡±
In the book, it was add oil. However, I thought it¡¯s a bit strange in English, so I choose the Korean version ¡®fighting¡¯. Chinese/Koreans say add oil/fighting when they want to cheer someone.
¡°Mm! Fighting!¡±
Ruyi pulled the rope a bit.
¡°Wangfei3, Su Mei, let¡¯s go!¡±
The four fell down from the sky. Su Mei was at the left. In the middle was Ruyi with Wanyan Kang. On the right was Murong Qi Qi.
¡°They¡¯re here! Miss!¡±
Su Yue excitedly came to the pagoda and wanted to receive Murong Qi Qi.
At the top, Murong Qing Lian was very upset. Her eyes have been fixed on Murong Qi Qi. Suddenly a dagger appeared in her hand.
¡°What do you want to do?!¡±
When Murong Qing Lian came to the ropes and was about to cut Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rope, Bai Yi Yue sensed that something was wrong. She went forward and grabbed Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hand.
¡°Murong Qing Lian, why are you so shameless?!¡±
Longze Jing Tian and Li Yun Qing were also surprised and very angry when they saw Murong Qing Lian wanted to cut the rope. Longze Jing Tian hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hand which was holding the dagger. Murong Qing Lian felt pain. The dagger fell on the ground.
¡°She¡¯s your biological sister!¡±
Longze Jing Tian has never seen such a vicious woman like Murong Qing Lian (TLNote: Uhm, Jing wang did you forget about MXL?). Why is she such a person? Not being able to win Murong Qi Qi, she would use dirty tricks? If the rope was cut, Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t imagine what will happen if Murong Qi Qi fell from the air.
From Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes, Murong Qing Lian saw disappointment. Her heart tightened. She didn¡¯t want to lose Longze Jing Tian. She didn¡¯t want him to misunderstand her. Although her motive was to kill Murong Qi Qi, but she can¡¯t say that. She must find a reasonable reason and get rid of the disgust Longze Jing Tian has for her.
¡°Wangye, if they lose, not only did we pass the knockoutpetition, but our Xi Qi will also be the only country which passed the knockoutpetition. By then we don¡¯t need to go to finals. The title is already ours! Wangye, don¡¯t you want the title of the tournament? Wangye, I did it for Xi Qi, ah!¡±
Originally it was ¡®murder¡¯, buting from Murong Qing Lian, it became so dignified. The contempt Bai Yi Yue has for Murong Qing Lian be stronger. Li Yun Qing also frowned. His impression of Murong Qing Lian fell straight to the bottom. This woman¡¯s heart is so vicious. When he got down the pagoda, he must remind Murong Qi Qi!
¡°I don¡¯t need to use such dirty tricks to get the first ce!¡±
Obviously, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s retort hasn¡¯t been approved by Longze Jing Tian. Instead, he felt very disgraced.
¡°Using such despicable ways as stabbing people in the heart, even if I win, I won¡¯t have a peace of mind!¡±
¡°Wangye, I really did it for you, for your own good!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Longze Jing Tian turned and didn¡¯t look at Murong Qing Lian anymore. This woman is obviously so hateful. She still dared to boast so shamelessly, saying those things more beautiful than singing.
¡°Su Mei said it very well. Princess Zhao Yang¡¯s character is so noble, why does she has such a lowly little sister?! Benwang 4 doubts now very much if you¡¯re the prime minister¡¯s daughter. Why is the gap between you and princess Zhao Yang so big?! Very unimaginable!¡±
Longze Jing Tian ignored Murong Qing Lian. Li Yun Qing and Bai Yi Yue looked elsewhere. They showed their firm standpoint on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s behaviour.
Looking at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s back and thinking about his gentleness towards her when they crossed the chain, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s felt bitterness and also felt wronged. Obviously, it is Murong Qi Qi who is the pretentious one. She is the one who is the falsest. Why is everyone¡¯s impression of Murong Qi Qi so good? Why does everyone think that she is a good person? Even Longze Jing Tian¡¯s voice will be particrly gentle when mentioning Murong Qi Qi. Why is it like this?
Murong Qing Lian felt injustice. She hates Murong Qi Qi; hate her for stealing everything from her.
Damned Murong Qi Qi. Why didn¡¯t she die at Jing Xin An? Why did shee back? Since Murong Qi Qi came back from Jing Xin An, her (MQL) life changed. Originally, she was the dignified fourth miss of Murong fu5. Why is it that the moment Murong Qi Qi came back, daddy also doesn¡¯t love her anymore? Everything she owned has been stolen by Murong Qi Qi! Now, even Longze Jing Tian misunderstood her. What should she do? What should she do?
It was like a pot with different kind of seasoning fell in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. She tasted different kind of tastes in her heart. Outside the pagoda, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s group already ¡®fell¡¯ on the ground.
Murong Qi Qi loosened the rope first and then rushed to Feng Cang¡¯s.
¡°Wangye!¡±
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang took big steps forward and hugged Murong Qi Qi. He deeply inhaled the fragrance of her hair.
¡°Qing Qing......¡±
Four very very slow hours. Feng Cang has never felt like this before. From the moment Murong Qi Qi entered the pagoda, his whole heart has been hanging in the air. He was very uneasy. Although on the surface, he still maintained his cid expression, but only Feng Cang himself know what kind of suffering that was.
Until, Murong Qi Qi appeared on the top of the pagoda, did Feng Cang felt relieved. Now, personally feeling her warmth in his embrace, Feng Cang¡¯s heartpletely settled down. Only embracing her and feeling her will he bepletely at ease. So, this is love, ah!
At that side, Su Mei put a jade bottle under Wanyan Kang¡¯s nose to let him sniff it in. Immediately, Wanyan Kang woke up.
¡°Ou!¡±
Wanyan Kang vomited against the wall.
¡°Little Mei er6, what did you let me sniff? Ou......it really stinks! Ou......it couldn¡¯t be poop, right......Ou......¡±
After Wanyan Kang finished vomiting, he realized they were already at the bottom on the pagoda. How did theye down? He didn¡¯t have a memory of it. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pill was indeed good.
¡°Does your highness feel a bit better?¡±
Murong Qi Qi saw that Wanyan Kang¡¯s pace was very pale. His body is indeed good. in no time, he began to jump.
¡°Now you¡¯re not afraid anymore?¡±
¡°Not afraid! Not afraid! Stepping on the ground feels so good! It¡¯s still stepping on the ground of the earth that¡¯s most secure! Cousin inw, your method was useful! Next time I still want to me like this!¡±
¡°Tsk......next time, don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll still has such good life, having the three of us to escort you.¡±

Chapter 96 The seventh test (2)
Seeing that Wanyan Kang was beside himself with joy, Su Mei couldn¡¯t help but pour cold water on him. It¡¯s just, not only did this cold water not dampen Wanyan Kang¡¯s enthusiasm; instead it let him be more proud.
¡°This shows that I¡¯m lucky! Sometimes, luck is also something to be proud off. Little Mei er1, do you understand?¡±
¡°Understand your butt!¡±
While the two were bickering, the people of Xi Qi also came down. This time, eight people left the knockoutpetition, namely Xi Qi¡¯s Longze Jing Tian, Li Yun Qing, Bai Yi Yue Murong Qing Lian and Bei Zhou¡¯s Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei, Wanyan Kang and Ruyi.
The result was somewhat unexpected for Jia Lan. Originally Jia Lan thought that only two to three people would pass. He didn¡¯t expect that all of Xi Qi¡¯s and Bei Zhou¡¯s contestants passed. Since the disciples of Peni Ind were tested with the seven-level pagoda, only six people passed. It seemed that in this maind, there are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Hidden dragons and crouching tigers: talented individuals in hiding
In the end, Hn Lian Yi, Long Duo and the others also came out of the pagoda. Seeing Murong Qi Qi and the others, Hn Lian Yi felt ashamed. He wanted to hid his face in his sleeves. Originally, he thought ofing to Bei Zhou to get the first ce. He didn¡¯t expect to lose face like this.
¡°Congrattions for passing the seven-level pagoda!¡±
Jia Lab smiled at the eight people.
¡°Looking forward to your performances in the finals.¡±
When Murong Qi Qi came back to Meixiang yuan2, it¡¯s was already noon. Feng Cang let people prepare barbecue and hot wine to celebrate the victory of the knockoutpetition.
A group of people barbecued meat by a stove at Meixiang yuan in this cold weather and frozen ground. Because this time all contestants passed and also because Murong Qi Qi came back safely, Feng Cang¡¯s mood was very good. He didn¡¯t let Ji Xiang and Ruyi serve. He let them (JX&R) eat with them (FC&others). Plus, Su Mei, Su Yue, Wanyan Kang and Jin Mo, a group of people barbecued lively in the courtyard.
¡°So fragrant!¡±
Smelling the smell of fresh deer meat, Murong Qi Qi got appetite. Propping her chin, she looked at those men who were busy rolling the deer meat on the grill. What Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect was that Feng Cang is an expert at grilling meat. He brushed honey on the deer leg and carefully flipped it. He carefully sprinkled all kind of spices evenly on the deer meat. Smelling it made people¡¯s saliva almost drop out of their mouth.
After waiting for a long while, the deer leg was finally done. Feng Cang cut the most tender piece and put it in front of Murong Qi Qi. The others also started. At this time, someone suddenly came to report: ¡°Wangye3, Yong er died. It¡¯s suicide.¡±
¡°Suicide?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hands didn¡¯t stop. He cut the deer meat into small pieces and fed Murong Qi Qi.
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Answering wangye, princess has been iming that she¡¯s innocent. Later, Yong ermitted suicide. Princess said that she (Y) felt guilty as a thief andmitted suicide to escape punishment!¡±
¡°Ah......¡±
Murong Qi Qi bit on the small pieces of deer meat. The red lips were stained with a thinyer of oil.
¡°Wangye, since princess is innocent, then let her out! After all, she is a princess. Locking her up for a whole night could be considered a punishment. Besides, today we won. Let¡¯s forget this matter!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Feng Cang dipped the deer meat in the spices and fed Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Do as wangfei¡¯s4 wishes! Come, be good, eat one more bite!¡±
After Feng Cang ¡®kidnapped¡¯ Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei¡¯s post has also been stolen by him.
In the past, it was Su Mei who made a variety of delicious desserts to feed Murong Qi Qi. However, now this glorious position has been forcefully upied by Feng Cang.
Murong Qi Qi is veryzy. To her, eating is just an activity to maintain living. As long as she cam meet all the necessities of the body, she doesn¡¯t have much desire for food.
In the past life, because she had too much missions, Murong Qi Qi often dyed eating. In order to maintain the nutrition of the body, she always took a variety of nutrients. It was also to maintain the bnce of the body. Over time, it developed into the habit of being a picky eater. If the food is not to her taste, she would rather not eat it. She would take nutrients and not eat even a mouthful of the food.
Because Murong Qi Qi was an extremely picky eater, Su Mei would always think of ways to let Murong Qi Qi eat. She wanted to make her miss a bit ¡®fatter¡¯. Now this glorious task fell on Feng Cang¡¯s shoulders. Feng Cang would think of ways to let Murong Qi Qi eat one more bite. The burden on Su Mei¡¯s shoulder loosened a lot.
The taste of fresh grilled deer meat was very good. Besides, this deer was just caught this morning in the woods. It was apletely pure natural and pollution free food. Having Feng Cang as servant, Murong Qi Qi ate a lot in just a short moment. Her cheeks were filled with deer meat. They moved, making her look very cute.
¡°Come, eat one more bite!¡±
¡°No! I¡¯m full!¡±
Murong Qi Qi felt that her belly was very full. She was about to wipe her mouth, but Feng Cang refused to give up.
¡°Be good, eat one more bite! Today, you used so much energy. Eat a bit more to fill your energy back!¡±
¡°If I eat more, I¡¯ll be a small chubby pig!¡±
Murong Qi Qi pouted. People who practice martial arts request a strong yet light and graceful body. If the body bes fat, the target will also be bigger. The reaction would also be slower. Then you will only be the object of attack to others. She doesn¡¯t want to be a gun target.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s good to have more meat. Having more meat is a better feeling in the hands. Besides, you¡¯re too thin. I like you more with curves!¡±
¡°Pu......¡±
Wanyan Kang spouted wine on the table.
¡°Cousin brother, you shouldn¡¯t be like this, ah. Even eating, you need to tease a woman by pretending to be displeased with her (flirt). Even my face became red! At any rate, you should¡¯ve let me finish eating before flirting, ah! I worked very hard today!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s words made everyoneugh. Seeing Feng Cang pamper Murong Qi Qi like this, Su Mei and Su Yue felt very happy, happy that their miss found her soulmate.
¡°You, eat! Even one leg can¡¯t block your mouth!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood wiped her mouth and stood up.
¡°I¡¯m full! You guys, continue to eat!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t leave!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi only ate a piece of meat, Feng Cang was dissatisfied. Why is her appetite like that of a cat? She even eats less than a cat. How would it be alright if she continues like this?
¡°After eating this piece of meat, you can leave!¡±
It¡¯s rare to see Feng Cang being ¡®strict¡¯ in front of Murong Qi Qi. The others stopped with what they were doing and looked smilingly at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s interaction. Who will win between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi?!
¡°I said I won¡¯t eat, then I won¡¯t eat!¡±
Murong Qi Qi red at Feng Cang with her hands on her hips.
¡°I¡¯m the wangfei! I¡¯m the biggest here! I said I¡¯m full, then it means I¡¯m full! No one can force me!¡±
After saying that, Murong Qi Qi turned and returned to her room, leaving Feng Cang a magnificent back.
Seeing this, Jin Moughed out loud.
¡°Wangye, I see, you¡¯ve turned into a henpecked male! In the future, in this fu5, wangfei is the boss. You can only be number two!¡±
After Jin Mo said that, everyoneughed. That¡¯s right, if Murong Qi Qi is the boss, then Feng Cang will be number two! However, even though theyughed at him, everyone was happy. First, it¡¯s because Bei Zhou won the knockoutpetition. Second, it¡¯s because Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang rtionship is good. These two reasons were already enough to make people very happy!
In the afternoon, people came to report that Wanyan Bao Zhu had been released. Murong Qi Qi revealed a strange smile.
Why would Yong ermit suicide without cause? Wanyan Bao Zhu certainly threatened her! It¡¯s just that the two were kept separately. How did Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s threat get to Yong er? It seemed that there is a hardcore fan of princess among the people who came this time. What will happen if everyone knows that the princess has been switched?
However, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but admire this fake Wanyan Bao Zhu. Yong er was the princess¡¯s personal maid. She must know every move, every habit and every personal preference of the princess. Now, she found such a good opportunity to get rid of Yong er. It¡¯s the same as getting rid of her obstacle. Very smart!
When Feng Cang entered, he saw Murong Qi Qi holding a hairpin and with a mysterious smile on her mouth.
He approached Murong Qi Qi and buried his head in her neck.
¡°Is there something fun? Tell me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t intend on keeping the matter of Wanyan Bao Zhu from Feng Cang. After all, this matter involved to Wu Ji Gong. Besides, ording to Zhao Lang, the one behind Wu Ji Gong is crown prince Wanyan Hong. Although, now Murong Qi Qi still doesn¡¯t know who Wanyan Bao Zhu is, but her (WBZ) rtionship with Zhao Lang was not ordinary. Maybe, she also has something with Wanyan Hong.
Hearing Murong Qi Qi say that Wanyan Bao Zhu had long died and that this one is a fake, Feng Cang was very surprised. His handsome eyebrows furrowed.
¡°ording to you, she may have some rtion with Wanyan Hong?¡±
¡°Wangye, I mean use a long line to catch a big fish. Why don¡¯t we pretend we don¡¯t know anything and still treat her like the real princess; serving her well and be respectful when needed to see what they are nning in the end?!¡±
Use a long line to catch a big fish: a long-term n for major returns
What Murong Qi Qi said was what Feng Cang was thinking about. Seeing that this little wangfei had the same thoughts as him, Feng Cang was happy. He gently bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear.
¡°Alright! I¡¯ll listen to you! Qing Qing, now is it time to talk about our matters? Should I call you Qing Qing or should I call you Lian gongzi6?¡±
Hearing ¡®Lian gongzi¡¯, Murong knew her identity had been exposed. She pretended to be angry. She turned and looked at Feng Cang.
¡°Who betrayed me? Is it senior brother Jin Mo?¡±
Feng Cang seemed sensitive towards the appetion ¡®senior brother¡¯. Friendship from the same ce of teaching is the breeding ground for feelings. Senior brother and junior sister are the most vulnerable to the problem. Thinking till here, Feng Cang intended to ¡®protect¡¯ Murong Qi Qi very well in the future.
¡°Qing Qing truly made me very surprised! Only now do I know, my little wangfei is so powerful!¡±
¡°Heihei......¡±
Hearing Feng Cang praise her, Murong Qi Qiughed very sweetly.
¡°Wangye, shouldn¡¯t people always leave some cards hidden? Otherwise, if the person is clear as water in front of other, there will be no protectiveness. I don¡¯t believe that wangye doesn¡¯t also have any other identity......¡±
Murong Qi Qi was smart made Feng couldn¡¯t help himself from biting her finger.
¡°Qing Qing is not good for a woman to be too smart. If she is too clever, men wouldn¡¯t dare to love her! However, considering that you¡¯re so smart, I¡¯ll take you to avoid you go wreck others! I¡¯m not Buddha; I don¡¯t have the selflessness of releasing all living creatures from suffering. In this lifetime, I only need you......¡±
¡°So, does wangye means that you also have secrets?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t lose her mind because of Feng Cang¡¯s sweet speech and honeyed words. Instead, she grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s intention of wanting to change the subject. She smilingly raised Feng Cang¡¯s chin and whispered: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t inquire about wangye¡¯s secret. Between a husband and a wife also needs private space, so the marriage can be long. Therefore, wangye can keep your secret. I have the patient to wait till you want to confess everything! Besides, slowly getting to know wangye¡¯s other side is to my taste. I¡¯m very happy to personally undo wangye¡¯s mysterious veil! Like this, there¡¯s more sense of aplishment!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer was somewhat unexpected to Feng Cang. If it was any ordinary person, he/she will certainly get to the bottom of it. Especially women, they always dig up new things to fill their own curiosity. However, Murong Qi Qi was very different.
Originally, Feng Cang wanted to confess everything. After hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯sst sentence, Feng Cang¡¯s mood turned very better. Since she regarded him as a treasure and want to slowly dig and slowly find out everything, then he would let her. As long as she¡¯s happy, everything is alright.
When Murong Qi Qi regarded Feng Cang as a treasure and want to personally explore; how would she know that in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, she¡¯s also a huge treasure? Mysterious, full of temptation. Every time, she could bring people different surprises. He also liked to explore; constantly discovering her other side and also enjoy this process.
There were three days of rest after the knockoutpetition. All the contestants of Bei Zhou who were formed atst moment passed. This made the citizens of Yongzhou very happy. It happened that it was nearly new year. The citizens who were busy for the whole year were now resting at home. They did the lion dance and dragon dance on the streets to celebrate Bei Zhou got through the knockoutpetition.
In contrast to the happiness of Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen, not long after, Hn Lian Yi went back to the house of embassy, he received a secret report from Nan Feng.
¡°What?!¡±
After seeing the content in the secret report, Hn Lian Yi froze there.
¡°The emperor died? Imperial noble concubine has gone crazy? The crown prince ascended the throne! His highness the prince has been imprisoned? How could this be?!¡±
When he left Nan Feng, it was Hn Min who personally sent him out of the pce. Although at that time, Hn Min felt somewhat ufortable, but it was a minor illness. The imperial physician also said that there was no problem. As for the emperor Ming Feng Jing, his body was indeed not so good. However, Hn Min already let the imperial physician use heavy medicine on him. He would¡¯ve been able to stay alive for two or three more years. Why such a big change happened in just a mere month?
Hn Lian Yi didn¡¯t believe the content of the secret report a bit. He suspected someone faked it. This letter was certainly forged! Until after Hn Lian Yi carefully checked the wax seal on the opening of the letter- it was indeed the orchid flower of Hn family- did Hn Lian Yi believe this letter was real.
Unimaginable! Wasn¡¯t Min Yue Cheng in Xi Qi being a hostage? Why did he appear in Nan Feng? Who helped Ming Yue Cheng? Who was so daring (who had such a big gut)?
Time didn¡¯t allow Hn Lian Yi to think about so many questions. He must mobilize his money at the sixteen states of You Yun and rush back to Nan Feng! Now, imperial noble consort¡¯s only son Ming Yue Hui is still in the hands of Ming Yue Cheng. He must spend money to recruit soldiers and buy horses and form an alliance with the officials at court to deal with Ming Yue Cheng!
To recruit soldiers and buy horse: to raise arge army
Ming Yue Hui is their Hn family¡¯s hope to prosperity. Only if Ming Yue Hui bes the emperor could their family¡¯s interest be guaranteed. As for this Ming Yue Cheng, he is truly a pest. He has be a hostage for ten years already, but his ambition of a wolf hasn¡¯t destroyed yet. He actually went back to court, controlled the situation and won the battle to turn over his luck. How could this be?!
Thinking till here, Hn Lian Yi linked the matter of Nan Feng¡¯s emperor Ming Feng Jing dying and imperial noble consort Hn Min Yue¡¯s craziness to Ming Yue Cheng. How did he return to the country? Why did he suddenly return to the country? And why did he return so coincidentally at the same time the emperor died? Could there still be Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s people at court? All of these were done by Ming Yue Cheng?
Now Hn Lian Yi is very sure that these matters certainly have something to do with Ming Yue Cheng. Immediately after Long Duo packed, he bid farewell to Feng Cang. The two hurried out of the city.
Although it¡¯s snowing and the road were difficult to ride on, but Hn Lian Yi knew clearly that this matter couldn¡¯t end like this. It¡¯s rted to his interest. So, even if the weather was bad, he grabbed the time and hurried back to Nan Feng.
It¡¯s just, when they got out of Yongzhou ¨C they haven even rode ten miles- a group of people surrounded them. The ones at the lead were the man with a scar and the shorty.
If it was normally, Hn Lain Yi wouldn¡¯t give these people money and would beat them. However, now it¡¯s different from ordinary days. What he needs now is time. He can¡¯t be dyed at this moment.
¡°Heroes, we¡¯re merchants and are rushing home to pass the new year. Asking heroes to make things easy! This money is for heroes to eat and drink!¡±
Hn Lian Yi took out a silver pouch. He showed them that inside is full of gold. Then he threw the silver pouch at the shorty.
Being on business outside all the time, Hn Lian Yi was used to see bandits and robbers. Now, it¡¯s end of the year. It¡¯s the time were bandits would do evil things. So, Hn Lian Yi naturally regarded the man with the scar as the bandit leader and see their actions as ¡®robbery¡¯.
Seeing that Hn Lian Yi was still so na?ve while death was near at hand, the shorty couldn¡¯t help butugh. He weighted the money in the pouch and then threw it back at Hn Lian Yi.
¡°Not enough?¡±
Hn Lian Yi was somewhat angry. The money in this pouch was enough for these people to livevishly for a few years. They still think is not enough! Too greedy! It¡¯s just that he has urgent matter and couldn¡¯t be dyed on the road. Hn Lian Yi took out another silver pouch.
¡°Hero, this is all my money. Asking you to please make it easy! My old mother is sick at home. She¡¯s still waiting for me to go home and take care of her. Asking heroes to be generous and let us go!¡±
Hn Lian Yi lied more smoothly than shitting. This l made the man with scar humph coldly.
¡°Young master Hn, didn¡¯t your mother passe away a long time ago? Howe you¡¯ve gotten one more old mother now, ah? Could it be that young master Hn is illegitimate and not raised at home? That¡¯s why your mother is still alive?¡±
¡°What did you say?!¡±
Although Hn Lian Yi wanted to settle this thing with money, but the other party clearly came looking for trouble. Hn Lian Yi didn¡¯t intend to be so polite anymore. He pulled out his sword.
¡°Oh......¡±
The man with the scar chuckled and gestured. Ten people surrounded Hn Lian Yi¡¯s group.
¡°Kill!¡±
Hn Lian Yi hasn¡¯t understood the situation yet, when his head already fell on the ground. The blood sprinkled on the ground and instantly formed ice. Until death, Hn Lian Yi had his eyes open with a look full of disbelief. He didn¡¯t understand who wanted to kill him. Why did they want to kill him?
After getting rid of Hn Lian Yi and Long Duo, the shorty found a ga in the form a hand on Hn Lian Yi.
¡°Tie Xue, look, this must be the special ess order!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Tie Xue looked at the ga carefully and then nodded.
¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s bring it to miss!¡±
At night, before going to bed, Su Yue served Murong Qi Qi when she lied down. Su Mei came in with a small box in her hand.
¡°You got the thing?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair hung loose on her chest. Her small hand caught the box Su Mei handed over. When she opened a piece of purple gay in the box.
¡°Miss, look, this color is really beautiful!¡±
Su Mei stood at a side happily.
¡°Tie Xue just sent it! He¡¯s still waiting outside for miss¡¯s order!¡±
Before, Murong Qi Qi only heard about the special ess order. Today seeing it, she couldn¡¯t help but take it out and yed with it in her hand for a while.
¡°Su Mei, give this thing to Tie Xue. Let him take over all of Hn Lian Yi¡¯s shops. As for Hn Lian Yi¡¯s money at the money farm, transfer them immediately and guard them very well. In the future, these four Nan states is our territory.¡±
In a night, Nan Feng changed emperors. In a night, the four Nan stated and the business of Hn family also fell in the hands of other. It didn¡¯t take long for this news to spread to Feng Cang.
¡°Wangye, who do you think have such ability? This subordinate let people investigate the situation of the four Nan states. They seemed to have seen Moyu¡¯s people. Perhaps, Ming Yue Cheng was able to turn the table over because he got the support of Moyu. The things that happened to the emperor and imperial noble consort of Nan Feng is a bit too strange. The head of Moyu, Du Xiang Er, is an expert at using poisons......¡±
Nn Xin stood respectfully next to Feng Cang.
¡°Moyu?¡±
Feng Cangughed softly.
¡°Didn¡¯t expect that Moyu will join hands with Ming Yue Cheng. It seemed that the goddaughter, who that old poison took in, is indeed a powerful character!¡±
Chapter 97 Cousin brother, you this beast (1)
Chapter 97 Cousin brother, you this beast (1)
Hearing Feng Cang say that, Nn Xin alsoughed.
¡°Wangye1, in the past, Moyu¡¯s Mozun wanted to marry Du Xian Er to you to let Moyu and our Fo Sheng Men be inws. If you didn¡¯t refuse that years, maybe the two families would¡¯ve been one family by now.¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Feng Cang leant slightly back on the rattan chair. He smiled. His eyes were cold.
¡°No matter how good Du Xian Er is, how could shepare to my little wangfei2?! Although Mozun had the grace of saving my life, but I definitely won¡¯t repay this grace with my own happiness. Besides, that year, that Du Xian Er was just a little girl. I don¡¯t have pedophilia!¡±
When Feng Cang said ¡®pedophilia¡¯, Nn Xin was surprised for a moment. Then he immediately understood. This is a new vocabry wangye learned from Murong Qi Qi. Recently, wangye¡¯s vocabry enriched a lot. All of them were strange. It seemed that wangye is deeply influenced by little wangfei.
¡°That¡¯s why you promised Mozun that for ten years, our Fo Sheng Men won¡¯t touch Moyu. Keeping Moyu safe could also be considered repaying Mozun. It¡¯s just, these past five years Moyu reached great development at the hands of Du Xian Er. It¡¯s not the same as five years ago anymore. Wangye, among these four countries, the only one who has the power to contend with us is Moyu.......¡±
When mentioning Du Xian Er, Nn Xin revealed a trace of admiration in his speech.
Although no one has seen Du Xian Er, but with only a girl¡¯s power, increasing Moyu¡¯s strength to more than a double and also increasing their scope of forces by don¡¯t know how much, how could such a girl be ordinary? However, this Du Xian Er appears and disappears unpredictably. There¡¯s a lot rumors about her, but the people who saw her and still are alive, are really very few.
¡°Wangye, a few days ago, Moyu¡¯s Fang Jing came to Fo Sheng Men to find you. He wanted to buy Wing Chase Cliff and has been rejected by our people.¡±
¡°Wing Chase Cliff? What do they want to buy Wing Chase Cliff for?¡±
Feng Cang sat up. He got interested in that matter of Moyu wanting to buy Wind Chase Cliff.
¡°Before, wangfei mentioned Wind Chase Cliff and said the scenery there is not bad. She wants Wind Chase Cliff and built pce there.¡±
¡°Moyu wants to buy Wind Chase Cliff was for nothing more than because they took a fancy on the strategically situated and easy to defend location. Presumably, it¡¯s Du Xian Er¡¯s idea. Since wangfei took a fancy on Wind Chase Cliff, then I¡¯ll reject them to avoid creating some conflictster. What do you think?¡±
¡°Mm! Go, apologize to them. I already promised this ce to wangfei and gave it to her. She usually doesn¡¯t like jewelries and also didn¡¯t ask me for anything. This is the first time she asked. How could I not agree? Besides, so far, I haven¡¯t given her any decent gift. Since she took a fancy on it, naturally I should make her happy.¡±
Hearing Feng Cang mention Murong Qi Qi the moment he (FC) opens his mouth, Nn shook his head smilingly.
¡°Before, when Jin Mo said wangye took wangfei as the meat of your heart, this subordinate didn¡¯t believe it. This subordinate followed wangye for more than ten years and didn¡¯t ever saw wangye put a girl in your heart. Now, seeing with my own eyes how wangye pampers wangfei, this subordinate finally understood that it could be considered that wangye found your fated soulmate.¡±
¡°What do you mean with it should be considered? It¡¯s a fact!¡±
Feng Cang drank his medicine and put a candied date in his mouth.
¡°Nn, now you and Jin Mo are making fun of me. When you find the woman of your heart, maybe you¡¯ll be more out of your mind than me......¡±
¡°Haha! Under the care of your words, this subordinate hopes to meet my soulmate sooner!¡±
When Nn Xin was about to leave, Feng Cang suddenly stopped him.
¡°Wangye has more orders?¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang¡¯s expression was not right, Nn Xin quickly asked.
¡°Investigate the matter of the four Nan states in secret. If it¡¯s really Moyu, don¡¯t take action. As for the matter of Du Xian Er, you must definitely not let wangfei know. I mean, the matter of Mozun once wanting to marry Du Xian Er to me, don¡¯t let a word leak out......¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s clumsy ¡®cover up¡¯, made Nn Xin speechless.
Could it really be like what Jin Mo said; that in the future, their wangye will be someone who¡¯s afraid of his wife? Thinking about their wangye¡¯s shaking the world and legendary reputation, now for such a small matter is ¡®begging¡¯ him. From the bottom of his heart, Nn Xin thought that love and marriage were fearful things. He must not provoke those two things, lest to be the same as Feng Cang.
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t worry. Wangfei won¡¯t get to know wangye¡¯s past. You¡¯re still the most perfect person in wangfei¡¯s heart.¡±
¡°Hmm......that¡¯s good! That¡¯s good!¡±
After saying twice ¡®good¡¯, did Feng Cang let out a breath of relief. He¡¯s very clear about this little woman¡¯s overbearing possessiveness and also enjoying it very much! He didn¡¯t want other people or matters about other people to interfere between them!
After resting for three days, it¡¯s finally the day of the finals. Early in the morning, Feng Cang came to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s room. Seeing Feng Cang, Su Mei wanted to go inside and report, but she was stopped by Feng Cang.
¡°Did your miss woke up?¡±
¡°No, in the winter miss usually slept in.¡±
Su Mei shook her head.
¡°Let her sleep some more! I¡¯ll wait here.¡±
Feng Cang wanted to wait outside. Su Mei saw that it was such cold weather. It¡¯s not good to let Feng Cang wait outside in the cold. So, she lifted the curtain and invited Feng Cang in.
Inside the room, incense was lit. Faint fragrance of flower, very fresh too smell. After getting to know Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang knew she likes natural things. For example, this incense. It¡¯s made from something called vender¡¯. It¡¯s said to have a calming effect. Murong Qi Qi taught Su Yue how to make it. These have been made by Su Yue.
¡°Wangye, please wait for a moment!¡±
Su Yue said that in a low voice.
¡°Miss¡¯s wake up mood is very heavy. Can¡¯t disturb her otherwise, her mood will be bad for the while day.¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Feng Cang also lowered his voice and gestured that he understood.
Su Mei and Su Yue saw that Feng Cang was being so considerate, they nced at each other and smiled. They quietly retreated.
Feng Cang quietly sat on a chair next to the bed. He silently looked at the sleeping Murong Qi Qi; rosy cheeks and red lips. The usually lively eyes are now closed. The long eyshes moved following the rhythm of the breathing. They looked like two small fans, gently fanning, leaving a thick shadow at the lowersh line.
Murong Qi Qi was not well behaved while sleeping. Two hands were outside of the bedding. One hand was in a fist next to her head. The other hand was also in a fist on her chest. She looked like a new born baby, huddled together.
Feng Cang kept in mind that Su Yue said to let Murong Qi Qi wake up naturally. Obviously, he loves her very much and wanted to wake her up with a kiss, but Murong Qi Qi has gloomy mood while waking up not naturally. She would then be unhappy the whole day. So, he didn¡¯t dare to make any sound and only looked greedily at Murong Qi Qi while also fighting back his urge of wanting to kiss her.
After waiting for a very long time, finally, Murong Qi Qi made a sound and rubbed her eyes. Her brows furrowed and her mouth muttered a bit. Feng Cang thought that Murong Qi Qi woke up. He didn¡¯t expect that the little woman on the bed would curl up her legs, turned the other side and continued to sleep soundly.
Her small mouth was slightly open like two red rose petals blooming under the tall and straight bridge of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose. How beautiful! Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but admire in his heart.
He didn¡¯t know why, but the ordinary Murong Qi Qi in everyone¡¯s eyes, in his eyes turned more and more beautiful. Sometimes Feng Cang would really feel like as how Jin Mo said it; she¡¯s Xi Shi in a lover¡¯s eyes. If it wasn¡¯t like that, howe the more he looked at her, the more he loved her. The more he looked, the more reluctant he was to let her go......
Xi Shi: one of the four beauties of China.
After waiting till one more incense stick burned, did Murong Qi Qi slowly wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and softly asked: ¡°Su Yue, what time is it?¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice, Su Yue quickly answered.
¡°Miss, it¡¯s sishi (9-11am)¡±
¡°Sishi? Nine o¡¯clock!¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi heard that, her eyes suddenly opened. She rolled and sat up.
¡°Oh no, oh no! The tournament is today. It¡¯s already sishi. I¡¯m certainlyte. Su Mei, Su Yue, quicklye in and help me! Wangye must be anxious because of the waiting! Geez! I actually overslept! Su Yue, why didn¡¯t you wake me up?! It would be troublesome if I miss the tournamentter! I haven¡¯t gotten Wind Chase Cliff yet. At court, there¡¯s that old empress dowager watching. If I miss the tournament and is sentenced to lose, I¡¯m done then!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was worried. She didn¡¯t see Feng Cang sitting there next to the bed. Plus, the fact that there was a curtain bound at the bed with happened to block Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi ignored the fact that a big man was next to her.
When Murong Qi Qi jumped barefoot from the bed to the ground, her bare feet stepped on the carpet; when she was looking for her clothes on the hanger, did she see a smiling Feng Cang through the mirror.
Murong Qi Qi turned and saw Feng Cang. Her expression was somewhat stunned. Then she looked at herself. She was only wearing a thinyer of silk. Because Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have the habit of wearing undergarments to sleep, that silk was worn next to the skin. It sketched out her exquisite figure. Especially two rebellious clouds fell into Feng Cang¡¯s eyes.
¡°Ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi screamed, hugged her chest and squatted. Two cheeks became red. Her head almost touched the ground because of shyness.
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s scream, Su Mei and Su Yue lifted the curtains and came in. When they saw this scene, they immediately understood.
¡°Wangye, we¡¯ll help miss dress up. Please go wait outside.¡±
Su Mei held herughter and looked at the also red faced Feng Cang. At this time, Feng Cang was somewhat ¡®at loss¡¯. His face was so red as if blood would flow out if you pinch his cheeks.
After hearing Su Mei say to let him go wait outside, Feng Cang was like he got a way out of this predicament. He immediately nodded: ¡°Good! Good! Benwang 3 will wait outside!¡±
In the end, Feng Cang rushed out as if he was fleeing, making Su Mei and Su Yue almostugh out loudly. They didn¡¯t think that their guye[4 Guye: son inw, also used by the servant¡¯s of the mistress¡¯s family] was so innocent. They thought he did something to miss. It¡¯s just, seeing miss in pajamas, his face was already red like that. If he saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s true appearance or when it¡¯s the bridal night, they really don¡¯t know how shy this guye will be......
After getting out, Feng Cang took a deep breath. The cold air stimted him, letting his banging heart gradually slowed down.
He originally was thinking about to personally dress Murong Qi Qi up to show her his tenderness, consideration and intimacy. He didn¡¯t expect that when Murong Qi Qi turned, she would let him see such a beautiful picture.
Although Feng Cang is already twenty-five; in this era, he should already have a wife, concubines and many children and would be a young person in histe twenties. Even though he didn¡¯t have any intimate contact with a woman before, but he also knows the intimate love between men and women; the forming of the harmony between yin and yang. However, when he personally encountered such a situation, he was truly somewhat unable to hold it.
Especially, the thought of that wonderful body wrapped in silk, as well as the two towering clouds and also Murong Qi Qi¡¯s white jade like small toe. All blood from Feng Cang¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help but rush to his brain. His heartbeat once again elerated. Boom, boom, boom! Even Feng Cang himself could hear the strong as horse¡¯s steps heartbeat. This has never happened before.
¡°Tsk, tsk, cousin brother, you actually blushed!¡±
Just at this time, that handsome face of Wanyan Kang appeared in front of Feng Cang. Inside the smiling eyes were full of jokes. Wanyan Kang carefully looked up and down at Feng Cang for a long time. He suddenlyughed out loud.
¡°Cousin brother, what kind of improper things did you do to cousin inw? Cousin inw¡¯s scream called the whole street over!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice was very high as if he wanted to let Murong Qi Qi inside the room hear it. When Murong Qi Qi heard Wanyan Kang¡¯s words, she jumped in the quilt.
¡°I¡¯m finished. Su Mei, Su Yue, my image ispletely destroyed!¡±
¡°Miss, he said it intentionally. Don¡¯t bother with him!¡±
The ¡®he¡¯ from Su Mei was naturally referring Wanyan Kang. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was embarrassed, Su Mei went forward and pulled her up.
¡°My good miss, just now, you said the tournament was about to begin, that you¡¯rete. Howe you¡¯re not worried now?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small face was flushed. Her eyes showed much shyness. She was afraid that Su Mei and Su Yue wouldugh at her. She also couldn¡¯t tell them what Feng Cang saw just now. she could only lower her head and let Su Mei and Su Yue help her dress.
¡°When did wangyee in? Why didn¡¯t you say something? He scared me to death!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi ¡®exin¡¯ like this, Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a knowing smile. It seemed that their miss was shy. Let¡¯s don¡¯t tease her too much!
¡°Wangye came for quite a while. He was afraid to wake miss up, so, he has been waiting at a side.¡±
¡°Oh......¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded and dawdled for a long time before going out.
The moment she got out, Murong Qi Qi saw the bad smile on Wanyan Kang. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that today she lost many faces. Wanyan Kang wanted to tease Murong Qi Qi a bit, but has been stopped by one gaze from Su Mei. The warning was very strong in Su Mei¡¯s eyes. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t dare to offend Su Mei. He could only smile like a thief at a side without saying anything.
¡°Wangye......¡±
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat embarrassed seeing Feng Cang. She quickly looked elsewhere and didn¡¯t dare to look him in the eyes. Feng Cang was also like that. The two turned their face to elsewhere and didn¡¯t look at each other.
¡°Mm! You woke up. First eat breakfast, then we¡¯ll go......¡±
Such awkwardness continued till they were about to enter the carriage. Feng Cang has been pulled to a side by Wanyan Kang.
¡°Cousin brother, what are you doing?! Weren¡¯t you very sticky with cousin inw before? Why are you so alienated today? Didn¡¯t you see that cousin inw is about to cry?¡±
¡°She¡¯s about to cry?¡±
Feng Cang was startled. He didn¡¯t dare to look at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. How would he know these? Hearing Wanyan Kang say this, Feng Cang panicked. What should he do? He saw her body. This little woman must want to cry because of shame! This is bad. Now, she wouldn¡¯t misunderstand that he¡¯s a lecher, right?!
¡°That¡¯s right! You ignored cousin inw. Cousin inw feels very wronged. I saw those tears rolled severalps in cousin inw¡¯s eyes. They almost fell out.¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang¡¯s exnation, Feng Cang¡¯s hanging heart went down. So, it¡¯s because he ¡®ignored¡¯ her. That¡¯s why she was sad. He actually thought that it was......it¡¯s just hearing that Murong Qi Qi was about toc cry, Feng Cang also felt heartache. He wanted to gofort her, but he was also a bit afraid.
¡°Cousin brother, women need to be coaxed. You put a cold face early in the morning; let alone cousin inw, even I, when looking at it will feel the chill, ah! Quickly go coax cousin inw! Go......¡±
Originally Feng Cang wanted to be in a carriage with Wanyan Kang, but he was pushed by Wanyan Kang into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s carriage. Seeing Feng Cang enter, Su Mei and Su Yue were very understanding and left the carriage to leave this space for the couple.
¡°That, this morning, this morning I didn¡¯t see anything......¡±
The always eloquent Feng Cang became clumsy at this time. That sentence let the color that originally reduced from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face came back again.
¡°I really didn¡¯t see anything! I only saw a silhouette, really......¡±
In the end, Feng Cang¡¯s clumsy appearance while exining made Murong Qi Qiugh. Only now did she know this man is so cute. On the matters between men and women he¡¯s more reserved than her.
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheeks were pinkish. She moved a bit to a side to vacate a ce.
¡°Wangye, sit!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s phoenix eyes warmed up. He sat next to Murong Qi Qi. He gently put her into his embrace. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®sit¡¯ let the embarrassment, shyness and other emotions of Feng Cang all be released. In his heart only remained the love for this woman.
¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re truly beautiful!...¡±
This sentence made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s earlobes also became red.
He truly saw...However, they are engaged. Sooner orter, she¡¯ll be his. She was just seen wearing a pajama. It¡¯s nothing much.
Now, Murong Qi Qi felt that her reaction this morning was a fuss about nothing. Being a person from modern day, that reaction was a bit too much. It¡¯s just that he never expected Feng Cang to appear in her room at that time. Her ¡®dirty¡¯ appearance being seen by the man she likes, made Murong Qi qi¡¯s beautiful heart have a small regret.
At least, it should be when she was prepared and with the most beautiful appearance, giving him an image he won¡¯t forget for life. Like that, she would be more willing to ept. Thinking about the problem of image, suddenly Murong Qi Qi came up with an idea to tease Feng Cang. She came out of Feng Cang¡¯s embrace and looked at him with a serious expression.
¡°Wangye, it¡¯s unfair!¡±
¡°What¡¯s unfair?!¡±
Feng Cang was puzzled. What did Murong Qi Qi mean by that?
¡°Wangye has already seen me......I haven¡¯t seen wangye yet.¡±
This sentence was like to pester endlessly and also somewhat arrogant and cute. Plus, with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s blushing face, it moved people even more. Murong iQ Qi¡¯s request also made Feng Cang¡¯s face turn red immediately. When he saw the slyness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang finally understood. This little woman wanted to tease him. Immediately, his big hand grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slender waist and firmly held her in his arms.
¡°Since Qing Qing wants to look, then today is better than another day. I¡¯ll let you look now!¡±
Chapter 98 Cousin brother, you this beast (2)
Chapter 98 Cousin brother, you this beast (2)
At this time, Feng Cang changed his modest behavior. Inside his phoenix eyes wasughter. He pulled at the snow-white fur on his body. Then he took off his coat, revealing the white inside it. When he was about to take off his underwear, Murong Qi Qi was so scared she grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s hands.
¡°Wangye1, I was joking! Really!¡±
¡°No! If I don¡¯t let Qing Qing look, Qing Qing will feel that it¡¯s unfair. Besides, I looked at Qing Qing. Now, I¡¯m letting Qing Qing look at me. I should return politeness with politeness!¡±
¡°No need!¡±
Murong Qi Qi shook her head and bit her lips. This time, the joke went too far. If Su Yue and the others saw Feng Cang¡¯s clothes being untidy, they would think they did something in the carriage. By then won¡¯t she feel shameful to death?!
¡°Really, don¡¯t want?¡±
Feng Cang smiled with a smile that was yet not like a smile at Murong Qi Qi; looking at her blood red face, her red neck and that pair of beautiful eyes full of tension.
¡°Don¡¯t want!¡±
¡®Hua......¡¯
The curtain has been opened, revealing Wanyan Kang¡¯s handsome face.
¡°What doesn¡¯t cousin inw want?¡±
When Wanyan Kang saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was truly stunned. His eyes widened and his finger pointed while trembling at Feng Cang.
¡°Cousin, you, this beast!¡±
The original sweet fragment between a couple, in the eyes of Wanyan Kang turned into Feng Cang took of his clothes and wanted to force himself on Murong Qi Qi. Plus, with the scream from Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang could imagine how Murong Qi Qi, this little white rabbit, ¡®suffered¡¯ at the hands of Feng Cang, the wolf.
¡°Cousin brother! No matter how impatient you are, you should wait till the wedding night, ah!¡±
¡°Get lost......¡±
Seeing Wanyan Kang deliberately distort the right from wrong, Feng Cang¡¯s palm went at him. Wanyan Kang was scared and quickly retracted
¡°Cousin brother, you want to silent (kill) me, ah?!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s scream came from outside the carriage.
¡°If you say one more word, when we go back, I¡¯ll let uncle find ten women for you!¡±
Feng Cang put on his clothes, pulled the curtain and looked at Wanyan Kang. The threat in his voice was very strong. Wanyan Kang quickly closed his mouth.
¡°I didn¡¯t see anything. I don¡¯t know anything. You, continue! Aiya, the weather is so good today. The sun is really big, ah! Haha! Being young is so good!¡±
The adapting to the circumstances Wanyan Kang, quickly looked at the sky andughed.
¡°Humph!¡±
Feng Cang pulled down the curtain. At the time, Murong Qi Qi truly wanted to faint. Her face was burning and red. Her head buriedpletely in Feng Cang¡¯s chest.
¡°That kid is used to being like this! When I go back, I¡¯ll deal with him!¡±
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi and softly apologized. This little woman¡¯s face is thin skinned. He also is. Now, his heart is still jumping very hard. Damn! When they go back, they must marry quickly! By then he can bill and coo with Murong Qi Qi openly!
Till they arrived at the venue, did Murong Qi Qi leave Feng Cang¡¯s embrace. After they came down the carriage, Wanyan Kang whistled at them. Murong Qi Qi blushed once again. Until Feng Cang¡¯s eyes swept over Wanyan Kang, did he touch his nose and hide at a side.
The venue for the finals was like a stage. In the middle was stone build round tform. It was surrounded by a circle of semicircr two story small building. It¡¯s specifically for people to watch the game.
Because the contestants of Nan Feng and Dong Lu had been eliminated- Nan Feng¡¯s contestant already returned to their country- so, this time only Xi Qi¡¯s, Bei Zhou¡¯s contestants and the people of Dong Lu who came to watch at the venue.
The people of Dong Lu have long arrived. The one in the lead was Jia Lan.
¡°Wangye, princess!¡±
Jia Lan waved from his seat at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
¡°You¡¯ve arrived!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Feng Cang nodded in answer. He took Murong Qi Qi to the seats of Bei Zhou¡¯s contestants. Not long after, Xi Qi¡¯s contestants also arrived.
Because it was a once in every five years¡¯ tournament between the four countries, many citizens also came to the venue. They wanted to watch this rare tournament. Fortunately, the venue was big enough. So, the citizens who came also had a ce to sit.
Wanyan Bao Zhu also came to see the tournament. Since Feng Cang got to know from Murong Qi Qi that Wanyan Bao Zhu was a fake, he let people ¡®serve¡¯ her more attentively. They served her like a real princess, made Wanyan Bao Zhu forgot the shock of before and thought that she really got away with it.
When she arrived at the venue, with one nce, Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Longze Jing Tian sitting at Xi Qi¡¯s side.
Dup, dup! Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart beat very fast. She never thought that she¡¯ll ever be able to see Longze Jing Tian again. She also never expected to see him at this ce.
Although this man had hurt her, but he was the first man she loved. He was her first love and also her first man. So, after seeing Longze Jing Tian, the emotions in Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart were difficult to contain. The extinguished med burned again. She forgot that she was at the venue and also forgot that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were at her side. She actually walked to Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Hey, who are you? What do you want?¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to get to Longze Jing Tian, she has been stopped by Murong Qing Lian. Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t know this Bei Zhou¡¯s princess, but she came from over where Murong Qi Qi was. Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t have good feelings for Murong Qi Qi, so, she stopped Wanyan Bao Zhu even before she (WBZ) had the chance to get close to Longze Jing Tian.
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu saw the person who stopped her was Murong Qing Lian, she frowned. Howe it¡¯s her? Why is fourth little sister here? Thinking again, Murong Qing Lian was an excellent figure among the young generation, she must¡¯vee to participate in the tournament. However in her (MQL) eyes were no kindness. This made Wanyan Bao Zhu somewhat unhappy.
¡°I would like to ask, are you Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang?¡±
Ignoring Murong Qing Lian, Wanyan Bao Zhu went around her and came to Longze Jing Tian. The way she looked at him was full of infatuation as well as memories from the past.
¡°You are?¡±
Longze Jing Tian lowered his head. Looking at that infatuated expression of Wanyan Bao Zhu, he immediately frowned. Why is every woman around him so infatuated? Why is it that aside from Murong Qi Qi, there¡¯s no one who isn¡¯t infatuated?¡±
¡°I¡¯m......¡±
The words were about to leave her mouth, when Wanyan Bao Zhu suddenly stopped. How should she tell Longze Jing Tian? Should she say that she¡¯s Murong Xin Lian? That¡¯s impossible! Right! Now she¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s princess! She muste up with a princess¡¯s style!
¡°Bengong2 is Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Bao Zhu!¡±
¡°Oh......don¡¯t know what brought princess here?¡±
Longze Jing Tian narrowed his eyes. He was somewhat impatient. It¡¯s just Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t notice it. She was just thinking about another problem.
Now, she¡¯s is not Murong fu¡¯s3 second miss Murong Xin Lian anymore, but she¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Bao Zhu¡ª¨CWanyan Bao Zhu. So, she had a new identity. Did this also mean that she could begin a new life? For example, marrying Longze Jing Tian as Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial princess? Now her identity is noble. She¡¯s enough to beparable with Longze Jing Tian. She doesn¡¯t have to be afraid of stepping a tail and beg for pity anymore.
Wanyan Bao Zhu remained silent. She just stared at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face in daze, making Murong Qing Lian very unhappy.
¡°Princess, our wangye is talking to you!¡±
¡°Presumptuous!¡±
After her thoughts was cut by Murong Qing Lian, Wanyan Bao Zhu immediately snapped.
¡°Bengong is princess Bao Zhu. I¡¯m talking to Jing wang. What right do you have to interrupt?!¡±
Have to say, when a person is ced at a position, she will naturally have the aura of that position. Such as Murong Xin Lian, now her identity is a princess. Then she naturally would emit an imposing aura. Although this imposing aura couldn¡¯t bepared to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, but to Murong Qing Lian, a daughter of a subject, it still had a certain effect.
Wanyan Bao Zhu snapped at his country¡¯s people, made Longze Jing Tian even more unhappy. At other countries, protecting your own is a must. Immediately Longze Jing Tian opened his mouth: ¡°What did princesse to find benwang4 for?¡±
Although Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t clearly speak up for Murong Qing Lian, but the coldness in the words and the tone of keeping people a thousand miles away, Wanyan Bao Zhu caught on with them in just a moment.
¡°Nothing. It¡¯s just wangye looks like an old friend of mine. So, I came to say hi.¡±
Having Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ¡®support¡¯, Murong Qing Lian got more daring.
¡°Yo! Princess¡¯s way to strike up with someone is very peculiar, ah! It¡¯s just don¡¯t know what the name of that old friend of princess¡¯s is. How is he like our wangye, ah?¡±
This time, Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t bring Lu Yuan and Lu Ye on the journey. Plus, the fact that his feet got injured in the pagoda, it was inconvenient to apply medicine. Murong Qing Lian in the name of ¡®wangye got hurt because of me, I should ho take care of him¡¯ applied medicine every day for him.
Murong Qing Lian wanted to take this opportunity to do a good job and also wanted to get Longze Jing Tian¡¯s attention because of this. Because of her hard work, Longze Jing Tian gave her a bit better expression. This also became Murong Qing Lian¡¯s confidence to be smug. That¡¯s why she dared to talk like that to Wanyan Bao Zhu.
Being rebuked by Murong Qing Lian openly, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face immediately turned red. She wanted to use her identity of princess to teach Murong Qing Lian a lesson and let her know who is the boss, but the time for the contestants to draw had arrived.
Looking at Murong Qing Lian following Longze Jing Tian diligently and happily, Wanyan Bao Zhu clenched her fists. Having a Murong Qi Qi to ruin her good things, she¡¯s already very gloomy and unhappy. Now, a Murong Qing Lian appeared and she¡¯s looking so love struck at Longze Jing Tian. Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t need to think to know what¡¯s in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s head.
Slut! Truly a slut! She even wants to snatch her own brother inw!
Wanyan Bao Zhu gritted her teeth. She wished her re could burn a few holes on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body. From her point of view, the behavior of Murong Qing Lian thinking about Longze Jing Tian was truly shameless! Because Longze Jing Tian is her (WBZ) man, is her (MQL) brother inw.
She has long forgotten that from beginning to end, Longze Jing Tian had never put her in his eyes. She also forgot that she got Longze Jing Tian after using extreme means. It should be that she ¡®snatched¡¯ him from Murong Qi Qi. Now, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart is full of hate towards Murong Qing Lian......
Slut! I¡¯ll definitely find an opportunity to deal with you!
Before, at Murong fu, Murong Qing Lian relied on the fact that she was favored plus the fact that Liu Yan Zhi was also favored, she was always cynical in front of Murong Xin Lian. From time to time, she (MQL) would also gave her (MXL) a bad look.
At that time, although she was beautiful but Murong Tai put more emphasis on the level four Murong Qing Lian. Plus, the fact that Liu Yan Zhi had the backing of a son, so every time the two fought, Murong Tai was always biased towards his youngest daughter. Now, it¡¯s different. Now she isn¡¯t Murong Xin Lian, but princess Bao Zhu from Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family. She now has a noble identity. Killing people for revenge is just a small matter!
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t know this Wanyan Bao Zhu is Murong Xin Lian and also didn¡¯t know that someone already set her eyes of her (MQL).
Now, the thing she¡¯s most concerned about is the drawing of the sticks. In Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart, she wished very much to draw Murong Qi Qi. By that time, she wanted to cut many scars in that proud face of Murong Qi Qi!
The drawing was split into two groups. One group would draw the number about which order they willpete. The other group would draw the name of the opponent. How they would be allocated was decided by drawing sticks.
The stick Longze Jing Tian draw was to select the opponent and the one Murong Qi Qi draw was the order of the tournament. Longze Jing Tian knew the principle of letting women go first, so he let Bei Zhou draw first. Su Mei wouldpete first, Ruyi the second, Wanyan Kang the third and Murong Qi Qi the fourth.
Now, it¡¯s Xi Qi¡¯s contestants turn to draw the opponents. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s opponent was Wanyan Kang. Li Yung Qing¡¯s was Su Mei. Bai Yi Yue would go against Ruyi. Murong Qing Lian¡¯s opponent was Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Third big sister, didn¡¯t expect we would have this day as sisters; bing opponents and appearing at the tournament.¡±
Murong Qing Lian triumphantly shook the stick with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s name on it. What she thought off happened. Just now, she was thinking about how she must be a pair with Murong Qi Qi. She didn¡¯t expect that she was so lucky and really picked Murong Qi Qi. It seemed that even heaven dislikes Murong Qi Qi. That¡¯s why heaven sent her (MQL) to uphold virtue and condemn evil!
¡°Hehe, since it¡¯s like this, then ask fourth little sister to not go too hard at the tournament!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian being so proud, Murong Qi Qi smiled. And Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile, in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes was a way of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expressing goodwill and wanting her to be easy at the tournament.
Thinking till here, Murong Qing Lian turned more proud.
¡°Big sister, I also want to take our rtionship of sister into consideration, ah. However, there¡¯s no sisterhood on a battle. I¡¯m Xi Qi¡¯s contestant, naturally I should bring glory to the country, ah! Big sister, by then, don¡¯t me me, ah!¡±
Act, continue act! Seeing that face of Murong Qing Lian, Murong Qi Qi was toozy to bicker with her. She yawned. White jade like hands settled on Feng Cang¡¯s neck.
¡°Alright! Do whatever you like! How you¡¯ll do, I¡¯ll follow!¡±
Just now, Murong Qi Qi had a modest attitude. Now, she (MQQ) pushed her (MQL) to a side. The attitude was so different, making Murong Qing Lian a bit unable to adapt.
¡°Third big sister, what are you saying is the truth?¡±
¡°Of course! No matter if it¡¯s fighting with or without inner energy, bring it on. This big sister is not afraid of you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised an eyebrow and looked provocatively at Murong Qing Lian.
¡°However, taking into consideration that you still call me big sister, I¡¯ll let you have three strikes first. It could also be considered as taking our sisterhood into ount.¡±
After Murong Qi Qi said she¡¯ll let her have three strikes, Murong Qing Lian felt great insult. Only when the opponent is very weak, would people let off three strikes as expressing mercy and sympathy to the other party. Now Murong Qi Qi, this ¡®rubbish¡¯ actually yielded strikes to her and it¡¯s three strikes. How could Murong Qing Lian who has been always hailed as genius ept it?
¡°No need to yield strikes to me!¡±
Murong Qing Lian sneered.
¡°If big sister doesn¡¯t beg me to yield strikes, then I¡¯ll be satisfied. How would I let big sister yield strikes?!¡±
¡°Hehe, not bad. You¡¯ve got backbone!¡±
Murong Qi Qi gave a chic smile without the coquettish of a woman. Instead it had a heroic aura. And the graceful bearing between her eyebrows, fell head-on on Longze Jing Tian and Li Yun Qing who were behind Murong Qing Lian, making them be dazzled.
¡°Then let¡¯s talk with the fists at the tournament!¡±
¡°Exactly what I want!¡±
Even others could feel the thunder and lightning between the two daughters of Murong family. Wanyan Bao Zhu was far away. Although she couldn¡¯t hear anything they said, but she could see that the two went against each other. Very good! Let them be like dogs eating dogs. Then she could benefit from it without doing anything!
One Murong Qi Qi, one Murong Qing Lian; these two people are the thorns in her heart. If she could get rid of two thorns through this tournament, won¡¯t that satisfy everyone? The thought that at theing finals, these two people would either be finished or both would suffer, Wanyan Bao Zhu felt happy from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that it was a correct decision toe watch the tournament today.
Fourpetitions. Three wins means victory. If two wins and two loses, then they need to select one contestant topete once more. Everyone knew the rules very well. Now, they¡¯re only waiting to see the process and results.
The firstpetition was Su Mei against Li Yun Qing.
After snowing for a few days, today is a rare clear day. An orange sunzily hung at the horizon. Smilingly, it looked at the earth. Because the sun exposed its face, the snow began to melt. The temperature was very low. Su Mei¡¯s face became red because of the cold air, like a blooming an Indian Azalea.
¡°Little Mei er5, fighting! I¡¯ve your back! I support you!¡±
Thepetition hadn¡¯t started yet, Wanyan Kang made a trumpet from his hand and began to shout, making Su Mei feel ashamed.
¡°Fighting, fighting! Little Mei er is the best! Little Mei er must win! Beat him!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s shouts reverberated at the venue. It happened that this venue was semicircr. The sound echoed here and there. One words seemed like a cry of a lot people, making Su Mei lose patient.
¡°Enough! Shut up!¡±
Finally, Su Mei got angry and red at Wanyan Kang. She wished she could seal his mouth.
¡°Before, Ie down the tform, if you make one more noise, I¡¯ll sewn your mouth!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s voice was very hard. Coupled with the help of the semicircr venue, it appeared increasingly ¡®aggressive¡¯.
¡°Woo......little Mei er is so fierce towards me......¡±
Being roared in front of so many people by Su Mei, Wanyan Kang immediately squatted on the ground with a crying face in a circle.
¡°Little Mei er is so fierce! Very frightening!¡±
The actions of these two enemies made Murong Qi Qi haveughter in her eyes. However, now Su Mei doesn¡¯t have the time to pay attention to Wanyan Kang. From her point of view, the performances of Wanyan Kang were asionally too childish. Her attention now is fully on Li Yun Qing who was opposite of her.
Beforeing, Murong Qi Qi let Moyu¡¯s people brought all information about these four Xi Qi¡¯s people. Li Yun Qing is the purple color seventh level master. His weapon is a jade flute. Although this man looked elegant like a deity and normally he seemed indifferent to everything with an indifferent expression, but he¡¯s the eldest son of Li family. He¡¯s not someone easy to deal with.
However, although Li Yun Qing is powerful, but Su Mei is also not someone to be trifled with. She had been abandoned by her parents the moment she was born. Later, she was brought to Moyu by Mozun. The things she learned was kungfu about how to kill people. So, facing Li Yun Qin, Su Mei wasn¡¯t a bit afraid.
¡°Please!¡±
Li Yun Qing smiled and took out his jade flute and asked Su Mei to show her weapon.
Although Su Mei wasn¡¯t afraid of Li Yun Qing, but she was also very careful. This is the openingpetition. She must make a beautiful battle of it to encourage the people after her. After making up her mind, Su Mei took out her weapon. It¡¯s a half-moon-shaped dagger.
¡°Young master Li, please!¡±
Chapter 99 The final of the tournament of the four countries (1)
Chapter 99 The final of the tournament of the four countries (1)
Half-moon-shaped dagger, as the name suggest, it¡¯s in the shape of a half moon. It didn¡¯t have a knife handle. At the back of the dagger was a wristband. On the wristband, a long chain was tied which can be looped around the arm. Every side of this half-moon-shaped dagger was sharp. No matter if it was extended or not, it was extremely sharp. This dagger can be used to kill people. However, when t on the shoulder, it can also be a shield to block the enemy¡¯s attack.
¡°Cool, ah! Little Mei er!¡±1 Seeing the aggressive half-moon-shaped dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hand, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help but shout.
Originally, women liked to use flexible weapons such as swords, soft swords, whips and chain-like weapons. Didn¡¯t expect that Su Mei¡¯s weapon would be so ¡®aggressive¡¯. How could this be a weapon to practice martial arts? It¡¯s a weapon to kill, ah!
The half-moon-shaped dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hand also let Li Yun Qing be surprised. Although he had seen hundreds of weapons, but he had never seen such a strange weapon as the one in Su Mei¡¯s hand. How could he have known that this was specially ordered by Murong Qi Qi and specially tailored ording to the habits of Su Mei?
Thepetition hadn¡¯t even started, but Su Mei had already pushed the atmosphere to great heights with the half-moon-shaped dagger. Everyone was talking about the half-moon-shaped dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hands. Jia Lan was also very curious about this weapon. He couldn¡¯t help but look a few more times at it. Very sharp weapon! Jia Lan could definitely imagine how it would look when this half-moon-shaped dagger fell onto a human¡¯s body.
¡°Thepetition will begin! Boom...¡±
With a sound of the drums, the tournament officially began.
¡®Ceng...¡¯
A silver light shed. The half-moon-shaped dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hand rushed forward like an army horse at Li Yun Qing. So fast! Li Yun Qing was startled. How was this apetition? On this half-moon-shaped dagger, a cold murderous aura was clearly hidden. It¡¯s obviously a weapon to kill, ah!
Li Yun Qing flew and rotated in the air. The half-moon-shaped dagger fell on the ce where Li Yun Qing had been standing just now.
¡®Keng!¡¯
The de and the ground collided and rubbed violently against each other, creating a golden light.
So close! Everyone¡¯s heart was jumping in their throat. The moment Su Mei started, she used a killing strike, making the people watching get a kick. They held their breath and looked at the venue.
Su Mei expected Li Yun Qing to escape. Not waiting for Li Yun Qing¡¯s feet to touch the ground, Su Mei pulled and tugged at the chained wristband. Dark iron chain brought the half-moon-shaped dagger back to Su Mei. However, when the dagger reached halfway, Su Mei suddenly threw the chain out.
¡®Crash!¡¯
The chain collided and emitted an ear-piercing sound. The dagger, which had been flying back to Su Mei at a moderate velocity, acted as though it grew eyes, braked and flew at Li Yun Qing who was still in the sky.
¡®Ceng, ceng, ceng......¡¯
The half-moon-shaped dagger made sinister sounds in the sky. It was like a sharp knife cutting a hole in the sky. Very harsh and powerful.
¡°No!¡±
Li Yun Qing didn¡¯t expect Su Mei to act so fast. The half-moon-shaped dagger seemed like it had eyes and closely followed him.
¡®Boom!¡¯
The half-moon-shaped dagger once again hit the floor in the vicinity of Li Yun Qing. A golden light dazzled the eyes of people like burning sparks of a fire. The sparks fell onto Li Yun Qing¡¯s green clothes.
¡°Use your inner energy, ah! Use inner energy!¡±
Murong Qing Lian was very concerned about the oue of this tournament. When she saw that Li Yun Qing was being suppressed by Su Mei, she immediately stood up and began to shout at Li Yun Qing.
¡°Sit down!¡±
Longze Jing Tian frowned because of the noise beside him.
¡°Look at thepetition quietly!¡±
Longze Jing Tian was very aware that it wasn¡¯t that Li Yun Qing didn¡¯t want to use his inner energy, but it was because he couldn¡¯t. From the moment they started, Su Mei didn¡¯t gave him the opportunity to evoke his inner energy.
Indeed, Su Mei¡¯s strategy was a fierce onught. In her eyes, unless it¡¯s death, attacking is the best way. This was also rted to Su Mei¡¯s hot character. That¡¯s why she was someone who attacked aggressively.
Li Yung Qing is a seventh level master. If she let him evoke his inner energy, she would certainly need to use a great deal of effort before she could suppress Li Yun Qing. It would be a waste of time and also too much trouble. Su Mei¡¯s main thought was to resolve everything in the shortest time possible; to get rid of Li Yun Qing quickly so that the people after her would have more time. She wanted to get the results today if possible, lest to let Murong Qi Qi get worried and wouldn¡¯t sleep well. It¡¯s better to let miss and guye2 be together sooner. Then everyone would be well!
Of course, Li Yun Qing didn¡¯t know that Su Mei was like this because of Murong Qi Qi. Now, aside from surprise, he¡¯s also stunned. His heart was filled with shock. If he remembered correctly, this girl in purple in front of him was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s maid. If she was just an ordinary maid, then why was she so capable?
Not waiting for Li Yun Qing to understand, that half-moon-shaped dagger once again flew at him.
¡®Ceng......¡¯
The silver dagger rotated, stirring the air and making sinister sounds. Su Mei¡¯s smile also made Li Yun Qing surprised. It was as if now she wasn¡¯t just a little maid, but had be someone strong who had the victory within her grasp.
The rule for the oue of thepetition was very simple. They only needed to force the opponent down the tform. What Su Mei needed to do now was to let Li Yun Qing take the initiative to go down himself. An extremely sharp silver de emitting a cold light went straight at Li Yun Qing¡¯s throat.
Be careful! Everyone held their breath and looked to see how Li Yun Qing would escape this cmity. Li Yun Qing backed away. Both hands were blocking in front of his chest. The jade flute went against the half-moon-shaped dagger in Su Mei¡¯s hand.
¡®Jing......¡¯
An ear-piercing sound entered everyone¡¯s ears. They didn¡¯t understand what happened but somehow, the half-moon-shaped dagger cut the jade flute into two.
¡°Go!¡±
Li Yun Qing rolled over. The half-moon-shaped dagger seemed to have set its eyes on him and was in hot pursuit.
¡®Ceng......¡¯
Although Li Yun Qing¡¯s body dodged, his hair couldn¡¯t escape this cmity. A few strands were cut off by the half-moon-shaped dagger. They fluttered and sprinkled all over the ground.
¡°Strong, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s mouth was open in an ¡®O¡¯ form. He was in disbelief! Wanyan Kang was truly shocked by Su Mei¡¯s violent tactics. Usually, he was ustomed at joking with Su Mei. Now, seeing Su Mei¡¯s true kungfu, ayer of sweat emerged onto Wanyan Kang¡¯s forehead.
What should he do? To let such a fearless woman surrender, he¡¯s afraid that he would need to put some effort in it! Besides, if in the future, he offended her or did something wrong against her (he means having an affair)... Wanyan Kang touched his throat. He could imagine how miserable it would be when that half-moon-shaped dagger cut someone¡¯s throat.
¡°Cousin-in...cousin-inw......tell me that she is not little Mei er... cousin-inw, tell me all of these actions are hallucinations...¡±
Wanyan Kang had been trying to convince himself that, that person was not little Mei er. Little Mei er does indeed have a bit of a hot temper, but how could she be so shrewish? In order to prove the scene in front of him was an illusion, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help but ask for help from Murong Qi Qi.
Seeing Wanyan Kang acting like that, Murong Qi Qiughed.
¡°What, afraid?¡±
¡°Cousin-inw, she¡¯s too fierce, too frightening. If one day, I make her angry, then won¡¯t I lose my little life...¡±
Thinking that if he married Su Mei, then it¡¯s equal to taking a tigress into his home, Wanyan Kang felt a bit timid. Before, he thought that Su Mei was just a small pepper. Now, he found out that Su Mei was a tigress, ah! Too fierce!
¡°Hehe, as long as you don¡¯t cohabit with a second wife, don¡¯t try to find a mistress, don¡¯t have three wives and four concubines, don¡¯t fondle flowers and trample grass outside and don¡¯t make her wear a green hat, such a thing will never happen.......¡±
Fondle flowers and trample grass: womanize
Wear a green hat: cheated on by one¡¯s wife. This idiom is usually only used on men.
Murong Qi Qi said a bunch of things that couldn¡¯t be done in one go, making Wanyan Kang get a headache. After he heard it, he discovered that there was nothing he couldn¡¯t ept. He finally let out a breath of relief.
¡°Only these, ah! Then, no problem! It¡¯s a small matter! No problem, at all!¡±
Murong Qi Qi frowned a bit after Wanyan Kang answered so quickly. She looked at Wanyan Kang¡¯s face, which was full of confidence.
¡°Ah Kang, did you understand what I said? I mean, if you like Su Mei, you must be only one pair of people for your whole life. She¡¯s my people, I won¡¯t let her suffer in the slightest. Usually, I also teach them this.¡±
¡°If an ordinary person liked Su Mei, then I wouldn¡¯t think this would be a problem and this condition isn¡¯t harsh. However, you¡¯re a prince and is destined to have more than one wife. You must think this through. If you can¡¯t give only Su Mei happiness, I don¡¯t mind strangling your seeds of love that haven¡¯t been born yet. I won¡¯t let anyone... have the opportunity to bully my people!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were very overbearing, making Wanyan Kang startled for a moment. When he saw the seriousness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, he believed that if he really turned his back on Su Mei, Murong Qi Qi won¡¯t give him face because of his identity. Her warning was full of threats.
¡°I¡¯m not against you being in a rtionship, but as a man, you should be far-sighted. Su Mei is only a little maid and you¡¯re Bei Zhou¡¯s noble fifth prince. Between you is an insurmountable gap. How would you deal with it? How would you face the emperor¡¯s and consort De¡¯s opposition? You need to think of these, the sooner the better.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to see such a strong Su Mei in tears and full of sadness. So, if you cannot give her happiness, then don¡¯t go provoking my Su Mei.¡±
The severity and seriousness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were things Wanyan Kang had never seen before. All along, he thought this cousin-inw was an amiable woman. Now, the protection of Su Mei inside her words was so strong. It¡¯s truly an honor that Su Mei had such a master.
Now, Wanyan Kang had a new understanding of Su Mei. He also had a new understanding of the rtionship between Murong Qi Qi and Su Mei.
He truly likes Su Mei. He likes that she is being real and doesn¡¯t act; that¡¯s she¡¯s not a fake. He likes her lovable anger. He likes her heroic aura. He likes her even more when she calls him ¡®yer¡¯ withughter in her eyes. He never met such a girl who isn¡¯t afraid to show her true temperament.
¡°Cousin-inw, don¡¯t worry! My love for Su Mei is serious. I will think of ways to solve the problems you mentioned. Although I¡¯m a prince, but my wish is to live a simple life like ordinary people and be together with the woman I love every day of my life. Asking cousin-inw to not worry. If I wrong Su Mei, I would personally deliver this head to cousin-inw! I swear in the name of my surname...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t need to swear! I don¡¯t believe in that.¡±
Murong Qi Qi gestured with her hand.
¡°You also don¡¯t need to deliver your head to me. Just your head, I will feel that I would hurt my feet even if I kicked it as a ball. Just think about how to get Su Mei¡¯s heart! The girls at my side are not easy to pursue! Put up your spirits, brat! I think highly of you!¡±
Hearing such words from Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang waspletely at ease. The more he looked at Su Mei on the tform, the more pleasing she was to the eyes. In fact, a tigress was also not bad. He would just be a husband tiger. By then, give birth to a group of cubs. They would be so eye-catching...
At this point, Wanyan Kang was caught up in the imagination of his happy life with Su Mei. At the venue, Li Yun Qing¡¯s back got ayer of sweat. He was now very sure that Su Mei was a woman not to be provoked. The half-moon-shaped dagger was as if it got a sticky paste on it. It followed him not close yet not far, making it so that he didn¡¯t have the opportunity to breathe nornd on the ground.
¡®Boom.......¡¯
Su Mei flew in the sky. The half-moon-shaped dagger once again flew at Li Yun Qing. Li Yun Qing once again dodged. When hended on the other side, Su Mei was already waiting there.
¡®Sou, sou, sou.......¡±
Three red darts flew at him.
¡°Oh, no!¡±
Li Yun Qing turned his head. The three darts fell at his toes, just close enough to rub his shoes. So close! Not waiting for Li Yun Qing to recover, Su Mei pulled at the wristband. The half-moon-shaped dagger once again turned and cut in the direction of Li Yun Qing¡¯s waist.
¡°Be careful!¡±
This time, Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He stood up and nervously stared at the venue.
Li Yun Qing already heard the roar behind him and Su Mei¡¯s darts were pressing and attacking him at the front. This woman obviously wanted to force him off the tform! No! He¡¯s Xi Qi¡¯s contestant. He can¡¯t lose at the firstpetition. If he loses, then it would affect his morals.
Thinking till here, Li Yun Qing wanted to retreat from the right. Seeing that Li Yun Qing wanted to escape, Su Mei revealed a strange smile. Not waiting for the crowd to understand, Su Mei¡¯s body shed and came to Li Yun Qing¡¯s right side. Both palms hit Li Yun Qing¡¯s shoulder. Li Yun Qing fell from the high tform onto the ground. He stabilized his body and backed several steps before he was able to stand firmly.
¡°I lost!¡±
After a while, Li Yun Qing smiled and cupped one fist in the other hand at Su Mei.
¡°Thanking miss for having mercy.¡±
At this point, Li Yun Qing realized the gap between him and Su Mei. He¡¯s a seventh level expert, but being a young master of a noble family, pursuing martial arts was just to self-improve and get the fame, fortune and status it brought with it. And Su Mei¡¯s moves were aggressive and all of them were meant to kill. If it wasn¡¯t because Su Mei had mercy, he would¡¯ve long been injured.
Although he didn¡¯t know why there¡¯s such a strong maid at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, but after knowing Su Mei was so powerful, Li Yun Qing felt relieved. It¡¯s a kind of assurance for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safety. He finally put his worries for Murong Qi Qi down. With such an expert at her side, how would Murong Qi Qi have any problems with her safety?
That Su Mei won made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s and Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s eyes fell out. Murong Qing Lian finally understood where Murong Qi¡¯s Qi¡¯s confidence came from. It turned out that she had gotten such a powerful maid. That¡¯s why she¡¯s so arrogant. No wonder she was so proud. It turned out, she had been relying on this!
And Wanyan Bao Zhu was scared by Su Mei¡¯s tactics. When she was at Murong fu3, she once went to make trouble for Murong Qi Qi and had been taught a lesson by Su Mei. Now Wanyan Bao Zhu finally understood that Su Mei was being merciful at that time. Otherwise, she would have lost her life.
Thinking back about the things of the past, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but shudder. Fortunately, that day she didn¡¯t make things too difficult for Murong Qi Qi... It¡¯s just, why was such an expert willing to stay by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side? What charm did Murong Qi Qi have, to let all these people be attracted to her?
Wanyan Bao Zhu nced once at Murong Qi Qi, who was sitting at the other side. Seeing the smile on her mouth, Wanyan Bao Zhu felt that it was like a thorn in her eyes. No matter what, she wouldn¡¯t let this woman, who had ruined her whole life, off! Because, she hates Murong Qi Qi! She hates her from the bottom of her heart!
The firstpetition ended with Su Mei¡¯s victory. When Su Mei went out of the venue full of smiles, Wanyan Kang was the first one to rush to her. In his hand was a red plum flower.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
Seeing the just-plucked red plum flower in Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand, Su Mei was surprised for a moment.
¡°For you! Congrattions on your victory!¡±
It was rare for Wanyan Kang to be serious for once. This trick with the flower was something Su Yue had taught him. He had never used this trick before. He also didn¡¯t know if it would work or not. It¡¯s just, Su Yue and Su Mei served Murong Qi Qi together, presumably she would also have an understanding of Su Mei¡¯s preferences. So, that¡¯s why Wanyan Kang took Su Yue¡¯s rmendation.
How would Wanyan Kang know that the trick Su Yue rmended was something that came from Murong Qi Qi? Now, she taught Wanyan Kang.
Sure enough, after seeing Wanyan Kang¡¯s ill at ease expression, Su Mei smiled sweetly. She blushed: ¡°Thank you!¡±
With a red face, Su Mei took the flower from Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand. She became a bit shy and embarrassed.
¡°That, your kungfu is not bad! It was very great! The moves of just now were also very good! Why, why don¡¯t we learn from another when we have time?¡±
When Wanyan Kang said that, Murong Qi Qi wished she could kick his butt. When going on a date, wasn¡¯t it to go shopping, walking, watching a film, listening to music and having dinner... how would it be asking a girl out to a fight?
Usually this prince is very clever, why is he so clumsy at this time?
¡°Uh......¡±
Su Mei was startled for a moment. This invitation of Wanyan Kang was too surprising. After a while, Su Mei nodded: ¡°Alright! After we go back, whenever your highness wants to learn, I¡¯ll be there.¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi finally understood that these two were a perfect match. Su Mei actually epted. It seemed that people who don¡¯t sharemon traits, won¡¯t marry each other!
¡°Qing Qing, are you now assured?¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi had been paying attention to Wanyan Kang and Su Mei the entire time and ignored him, Feng Cang was a bit jealous. He couldn¡¯t help but hold Murong Qi Qi in his arms.
¡°Wangye...¡±4
Seeing the jealousy in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Murong Q Qi put a finger on his lips.
¡°Wangye, if we¡¯re happy, it¡¯s better to let everyone else also be happy! Then, everyone would be well! Besides, if we marry them all, then we could have the world for just the two of us...¡±
Thest sentence was very enticing, making Feng Cang be tempted. Feng Cang¡¯s gaze fell on Su Yue. Su Mei could be considered to have found her ce. He needed to hurry and find a good person for Su Yue and also let Su Yue have a ce. By then, he could upy his little wangfei5 for twenty-four hours.
While Feng Cang was wishfully calcting in his heart, the secondpetition was about to begin.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m sorry. I lost.¡±
Li Yun Qing cupped his fist in the other hand with a guilty expression.
¡°Victory and defeat are normal things. Yun Qing, it¡¯s fine.¡±
Longze Jing Tian knew this wasn¡¯t Li Yun Qing¡¯s problem. Su Mei was too fierce. When meeting such a woman, he would also pay more than one hundred percent attention.
¡°Miss Bai, Bei Zhou¡¯s contestant are very powerful. Miss Bai must be careful!¡±
Bai Yi Yue was very grateful for Li Yun Qing¡¯s reminder.
¡°Thank you! I¡¯ll be careful!¡±
Bai Yi Yue walked step by step to the tform. Today, she was still wearing in white clothes. On her head was only one begonia hairpin. Insiders knew that this was a gift from Guang Hua gongzi.6 It¡¯s priceless and also Bai Yi Yue¡¯s favorite hairpin. So, today she wore it at the finals.
Chapter 100 The final of the tournament of the four countries (2)
Chapter 100 The final of the tournament of the four countries (2)
Originally, Ruyi wished for his opponent to be Li Yun Qing or Longze Jing Tian. He didn¡¯t think that in the end, he would be drawn by Bai Yi Yue, making him get a headache.
From the start, he didn¡¯t want topete with women. With a man, he could fight to his heart¡¯s content, but if the other party was a woman, then he couldn¡¯t be so rude. If by chance he injured or disfigured the other party, then it would be troublesome. Especially such a beautiful woman as Bai Yi Yue, he had no way of taking action.
Probably, because he had a twin sister Ji Xiang, that¡¯s why Ruyi had more respect for women. Usually when he was at Feng Cang¡¯s side, unless the woman was disrespectful towards Feng Cang, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t easily hurt a woman. Now, the opponent was a woman. It really let Ruyi be at loss!
If he didn¡¯tpete, then by losing, he would also lose face. If hepeted, then winning would also be very shameful. With thisplex and contradictory mind, Ruyi went on the tform.
The moment he was there, Bai Yi Yue smiled at him. Ruyi didn¡¯t feel right if he alsoughed, but he also didn¡¯t feel right if he was serious. His mouth twitched a bit. In the end, he couldn¡¯t win from friendliness and waved at Bai Yi Yue. How embarrassing his expression could be, was how his expression now was. Immediately, a burst ofughter came from the audience. Ruyi¡¯s face turned redder.
Since he practiced martial arts all year long, Ruyi¡¯s body was very strong. Although he wasn¡¯t as tall as Feng Cang, he was about 1.80 meters. His skin was slightly dark. He had a pair of thick eyebrows and a pair of tiger eyes. Although he was just over neen, but after following Feng Cang all year long, he looked a lot more mature.
This person was really interesting! Bai Yi Yue thought. Before, Su Mei was so ¡®scary¡¯, Bai Yi Yue thought that Ruyi was also like that. She didn¡¯t expect that Ruyi would be different from Su Mei.
¡®Boom......¡¯
The drum sounded. Thepetition started.
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s weapon was a double-edged sword and Ruyi¡¯s weapon was a pair of gold-ted hammers. One hammer weighed about 20 catties (10 kg). Together, the two were 40 catties (20kg). Seeing the gold-ted hammers in Ruyi¡¯s hands, Bai Yi Yue smiled once again. This man was a bit silly. Paired with this pair of hammers, he somewhat got the aura of a tiger, making him cuter!
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s smile made Ruyi¡¯s heart go up and down. He thought that his face had some dirt, that¡¯s why it made the beautyugh. So, he raised his sleeves and rubbed hard on his face. He didn¡¯t expect that this action would provoke moreughter from the people. Bai Yi Yue doubted if this Ruyi truly came topete. Why didn¡¯t he look like it?!
Apetition began with the beauty¡¯sughter and the man¡¯s ¡®silliness¡¯.
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s sword skills were excellent. Even though she¡¯s a woman, but she had been practicing martial arts since young. Her basic skills were very solid. Besides, Bai Yi Yue had a calm temperament. Her sword skills were like her temperament; steady and not extravagant. Every stroke went urately at Ruyi¡¯s vital parts.
A strong littledy! Although Ruyi¡¯s impression of Bai Yi Yue stayed at the image of a gentle woman; now, he got to see the real strength of this woman. From the moment they started, she attacked aggressively. Although it was different from Su Mei¡¯s fierceness, her steady attacks and she entrenched gradually at every step; for a time, it made Ruyi be the passive party.
¡°Tsk, tsk, cousin brother, what does Ruyi mean with his flowery fists and fancy footwork? Is it because the opponent is a beauty, that¡¯s he doesn¡¯t have the heart to attack, ah? ¡°
Flowery fists and fancy footwork: fancy but impractical skills.
Wanyan Kang had returned to the stands. Seeing Ruyi like that, he teased at a side.
¡°Usually Ruyi follows cousin brother, I didn¡¯t know that he was someone with tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex! Today, I finally got to know!¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t speak, no one will take you as a mute!¡±
Feng Cang lightly answered him. Wanyan Kang stuck his tongue out. He knew his cousin brother likes to protect his people. This point is a good match with Murong Qi Qi. Neither of them tolerated others talking bad about their people.
When Ruyi regained his senses, he had already been forced to the edge of the tform by Bai Yi Yue. His foot stepped on the stone edge. With a ¡®boom¡¯, Ruyi sobered up.
What was he doing? This was apetition. How could he be modest like this?! If this had been a battlefield, if the opponent had sent out a female soldier or a female general, then wouldn¡¯t he need to surrender? How could this be?!
¡®Ping ping pang pang!¡¯
Ruyi waved the gold-ted hammer and hit the sword in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand. The effect was so great, it shook Bai Yi Yue and made her back off to a side. Ruyi took the opportunity and flew back to the middle of the tform.
Just now, the strength of Ruyi¡¯s hammers was very strong. Bai Yi Yue¡¯s right hand slightly trembled. A touch of red stained the hilt of the sword. This man is truly not easy to deal with! Bai Yi Yue gritted her teeth. She tore a piece of her clothes and wrapped it around the web between the thumb and forefinger.
Bai Yi Yue knew very well that Ruyi showed her mercy. With his strength, he could¡¯ve definitely broken the web between her thumb and forefinger. By then, no need to mention thepetition, if it wasn¡¯t treated in time, her hand would have been destroyed.
It¡¯s just, although in her heart she felt grateful towards Ruyi for having mercy, but Bai Yi Yue knew the importance of thispetition. Just now, Li Yun Qing already lost. If she also loses, then Xi Qi would lose two times in a row. By then, it would be too difficult to pull a draw.
Thinking till here, Bai Yi Yue pushed out her inner energy. A circle of pale blue encircled around Bai Yi Yue. Obviously, she¡¯s the blue fifth level. Also, from the faint blue, it could be seen that she had just entered the fifth level not too long ago.
Obviously, she had hurt her hand, but she still continued topete and even pushed her inner energy. The strong will of Bai Yi Yue made Ruyi couldn¡¯t help but admire. This woman is not bad! At least, her unyielding spirit is very good!
¡°You don¡¯t use inner energy?¡±
Bai Yi Yue saw that Ruyi was still like that, she was somewhat surprised. She chose the fight of inner energy, why didn¡¯t the other party also do it? Without the inner energy, then wasn¡¯t this like Ruyi¡¯s nning to lose?
¡°I won¡¯t use it!¡±
Ruyi shook his head. He didn¡¯t use his inner energy because when thepetition is over, he still needs to protect Feng Cang. Being Feng Cang¡¯s personal guard; if he used his inner energy now, he would need at least five days to recuperate. And during these five days, what should he do if there¡¯s no one to serve Feng Cang? That¡¯s why Ruyi chose to fight without inner energy.
Bai Yi Yue pushing her inner energy and Ruyi not pushing his, made the crowd begin to whisper. Like this, isn¡¯t it clear that Ruyi had already lost? Then what did Ruyi mean by this?
As for Feng Cang, he didn¡¯t think of that. He knows Ruyi¡¯s thoughts very well. This person was stubborn. If he made a choice, he wouldn¡¯t change it. However, Feng Cang was also not worried. With Ruyi¡¯s ability, even if he didn¡¯t use inner energy, Bai Yi Yue was still not his opponent.
With the inner energy, Bai Yi Yue exuded blue light from her whole body. Now, her speed was faster. Her strength was also stronger. With only a blink of the eye, she appeared beside Ruyi. Her sword pointed at Ruyi¡¯s throat.
¡®Ping......¡¯
The gold-ted hammers in Ruyi¡¯s hands grabbed Bai Yi Yue¡¯s sword, making it so that she couldn¡¯t move forward and also couldn¡¯t escape backwards. She couldn¡¯t move.
¡°You!¡±
Bai Yi Yue was furious. She raised her right foot and kicked the lower part of his body.
Seeing Bai Yi Yue attack the most vital part of his body, Ruyi smiled. Two calves of the legs took the opportunity to grab Bai Yi Yue¡¯s leg, making it unable to move.
The two were in a deadlock like that. Bai Yi Yue¡¯s sword was locked by the gold-ted hammer and her right foot was also locked by Ruyi¡¯s calves. Because of this, the two were extremely close to each other. How intimate this scene could be, was how intimate it was.
Seeing the two being so ¡®intimate¡¯, the crowd burst inughter. There were even some people who started to joke: ¡°Hahaha! Very vicious littledy, ah. Now, she has finally met her opponent! Just admit that you lost!¡±
¡°Is this apetition about looking for a partner, ah? Why is it like this, ah?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, ah! Lady, that mister is not bad!¡±
When theughter of the people reached Bai Yi Yue¡¯s ears, she blushed.
¡®Pa!¡¯
Taking the opportunity that both of Ruyi¡¯s hands were holding a hammer, the left hand of Bai Yi Yue, which was not holding a sword, pped Ruyi¡¯s face.
¡°Rogue!¡±
Ruyi felt pain. Both his hands and feet let go at the same time. He didn¡¯t expect that Bai Yi Yue wouldn¡¯t retrieve her foot. Instead, it kicked Ruyi¡¯s belly.
¡°Loathsome rogue!¡±
Bai Yi Yue cursed one more sentence.
The not prepared Ruyi fell with his hammer andnded on his butt on the ground. He felt very innocent and wronged. What did he do? He didn¡¯t do anything. Why was he treated as a rogue by Bai Yi Yue? Also, he suffered a p in the face without reason. Besides, it¡¯s in front of so many people. Really choking him to death!
At the stands, Murong Qi Qi almost lost all her breath fromughing. Where did these two people look like they werepeting?! Very interesting!
Seeing Murong Qi Qiugh till tearse out of her eyes, Feng Cang took her into his arms.
¡°Qing Qing, what kind of things happened to let you be so happy? Share it with me!¡±
¡°Wangye!¡±1
Murong Qi Qi put her arms around Feng Cang¡¯s neck. Her red lips were near Feng Cang¡¯s ear.
¡°Wangye, look, don¡¯t they look like a pair of enemy sweethearts? Why is it, whenever I look at Ruyi¡¯s expression, I have the impulse to pull the red strings for them!¡±
Yue Lao, the god of marriage and love use red strings to pull people together.
¡°Hehe...¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mentality of a matchmaker was beginning to make trouble, Feng Cang held her hands.
¡°Qing Qing, since you want to pull the string for others, why don¡¯t you help yourself first?! I¡¯ve waited a long time for you!¡±
¡°Wangye...¡±
Feng Cang once again rolled the matter back at her. Murong Qi Qi blushed.
¡°After we get the first ce, we¡¯ll marry when we go back. Wangye, are you satisfied with this arrangement?
¡°Satisfied!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s smile was exceptionally, devilishly beautiful. Finally, he heard the word ¡®marriage¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi, making his mood immediately fly to the clouds.
¡°However, I¡¯ve a condition!¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised her head. In that pair of bright eyes, shed beautiful little stars.
¡°Wangye, we can marry, but you need to propose! If you don¡¯t propose, I won¡¯t marry!¡±
¡°Propose? Cousin-inw, what is propose?¡±
It so happened, that regarding things like this, Wanyan Kang¡¯s ears were at their sharpest. He immediately heard it and came over to Murong Qi Qi to discuss.
¡°Romantic dinner with candlelight, blooming beautiful flowers, beautiful and moving lyrics, luxurious proposal ring and the most important thing, you need to kneel on one knee and affectionately ask the woman ¡®are you willing to marry me¡¯......¡±
While saying these, Murong Qi Qi was very excited. She admitted that she had a little vanity of women and was full of longing for her marriage, especially about the scene of proposal. When she was a little girl, she fantasied countless times about that scene. When the man kneels on one knee in front of the woman and looks full of love to her while saying sweet words, in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, that¡¯s the most romantic and most touching thing!
Murong Qi Qi saying one thing after another that needed to be done, made Wanyan Kang stunned.
¡°Cousin-inw, say them slowly. I¡¯ll remember them. Maybe in the future, I can use them! Cousin brother, follow cousin-inw¡¯s request once. I¡¯ll look. Then I¡¯ll go knowing how that proposing thing is done!¡±
Propose? This new term of Murong Qi Qi caught Feng Cang¡¯s interest. When he heard all those steps of proposing, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but stare at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small pink face. At this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was full of longing and yearning. Feng Cang secretly remembered all of these in his heart.
As long as it¡¯s something she likes or longs for, he¡¯ll use every effort to fulfill it. Men were born to pamper women. Moreover, it¡¯s the woman he loves. Besides, he was also very interested in that proposing thing. Since Murong Qi Qi wants it, then he¡¯ll give it to her! As long as she can bes his wife, even if Murong Qi Qi wants this empire, then what did it matter if he stole it and gives it to her?!
After Murong Qi Qi exined ¡®proposing¡¯ to Wanyan Kang, thepetition had already neared the end. Compared to the humility of before, Bai Yi Yue¡¯s sword now had a trace of braveness and was attacking more openly.
Inparison, Ruyi seemed to have be ¡®afraid¡¯ after that p. In order to avoid provoking this little girl and then get the title of ¡®rogue¡¯ for no reason and also get pped in the face in public, Ruyi only countered her moves. He didn¡¯t attack and only defended.
However, even if it¡¯s only defense, but it was airtight. Ruyi was breaking her moves steadily, repeatedly blocking all of Bai Yi Yue¡¯s attacks. Before, Su Mei was quick to finish it all, now when it¡¯s their turn, it became a prolonged battle.
This was a test of stamina. Whoever couldn¡¯t hold it the longest would lose.
Bai Yi Yue became very aware of this. It¡¯s just that she couldn¡¯t break Ruyi¡¯s line of defense. This man was too obstinate. Regardless if she attacked from the bottom or top, from the left or right or from any other direction, she would be blocked.
Bai Yi Yue knew that Ruyi was going easy on her.
After she pped Ruyi, she regretted it. She regretted that she was so impulsive. Obviously, the other party didn¡¯t have any inappropriate behavior. Colliding against each other at a battle was inevitable. She repented a bit for giving the other party a p in the face. Andter, in thepetition, Bai Yi Yue clearly became aware of the gap between her and Ruyi. He didn¡¯t attack and was only defending. Even like this, he made her unable to break through. This man is truly deep and immeasurable.
The test of stamina was a battle of perseverance and endurance. Also, it was a battle of the endurance of the mind. Time flew bit by bit with their ¡®you attack, I defend¡¯. On Bai Yi Yue¡¯s forehead was already a thinyer of sweat. Her physical endurance was less than Ruyi. Now, consuming it like this, sooner orter, she¡¯d lose.
What should she do? Bai Yi Yue was impatient. Her moves with the sword became somewhat messy. Although she wanted to stabilize herself, the longer they dragged out thispetition, the more detrimental it was to her.
Just now, Bai Yi Yue hastily wrapped the wound around the web between the thumb and forefinger, which had been caused by the tremor of the hammers. Now, blood had already stained the white cloth. The pain from her hand passed through her. Although, she was still gritting her teeth, but Ruyi clearly saw the right hand of this little girl in front of him; the hand which was holding the sword was slightly trembling. The power of her attacks also became weaker with every attack.
Just when Bai Yi Yue thought that she was about to lose, she suddenly found an opening. The defense of his right hand seemed weaker. She could enter from there. The sword in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand stabbed at Ruyi¡¯s right belly. Ruyi was a bitte at dodging and fell from the tform.
¡°No way!¡±
A person began to scream. Obviously, Ruyi had the victory in his grip. How could he have made this low-level mistake and get pushed from the tform by Bai Yi Yue?!
Seeing this Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s arm.
¡°Wangye, I didn¡¯t know that Ruyi knows how to feel sorry for another. It¡¯s just, the flower has the intention, don¡¯t know if the water would be heartless or not!¡±
She means that the flower (Ruyi) has feeling for the water (BYY)
Experts could see that Ruyi intentionally exposed an opening. He did it to be easy on Bai Yi Yue. It¡¯s just, his choice made some people unable to understand. However, it seemed that the involved party didn¡¯t care about this.
¡°Miss, you won!¡±
Ruyi cupped his fists at Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Thank you...¡±
Bai Yi Yue also saw that Ruyi let her win, otherwise the one who would¡¯ve lost would have been her. It¡¯s just, why did he let her? Could it be that he doesn¡¯t want Bei Zhou to win?
Not waiting for Bai Yi Yue to think it through, Ruyi personally answered her confusion.
¡°Miss¡¯s hand is injured. It¡¯s better to apply medicine and bandage it. My strength was too strong. I apologize for hurting miss!¡±
After saying this, Ruyi returned to Bei Zhou¡¯s stand and asked punishment at Feng Cang¡¯s.
¡°Wangye, this subordinate lost. Asking wangye for punishment!¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was long. His expression was very serious, making Ruyi nervous. He lowered his head even more.
¡°This subordinate¡¯s skills was not as good as others. Asking wangye for punishment¡±
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t scare him anymore!¡±
Seeing Ruyi like that, Murong Qi Qi smilingly shook Feng Cang¡¯s arm.
¡°Miss Bai is my friend. Ruyi was doing me a favor by letting her win. I need to thank Ruyi! How could he be punished?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®plea¡¯ made Feng Cang¡¯s expression turn a bit better.
¡°Alright, retreat and go rest! You worked hard today!¡±
After Ruyi retreated with a sullen face, Feng Cangughed.
¡°How was I, Qing Qing? How did I act?¡±
¡°Wonderful! Very wonderful!¡±
It turned out that Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any thoughts of punishing Ruyi. He understood Ruyi¡¯s personality. Aside from encountering a female assassin, he would be ruthless; otherwise, he was very amiable. He didn¡¯t have the macho way of thinking. Now, letting him beat a flower-like girl, really was a difficult task for Ruyi.
Bai Yi Yue had been looking at Ruyi till he disappeared. She was afraid that Ruyi would suffer at Feng Cang¡¯s hands because of her. Fortunately, in the end Feng Cang¡¯s expression was very kind. Bai Yi Yue finally let out a sigh of relief. She also lost all her strength andid paralyzed on the ground.
¡°It¡¯s because her inner energy was used, so her body is exhausted. It¡¯s no harm!¡±
The doctor who had been waiting at a side, immediately went forward. He bandaged the wound for Bai Yi Yue. Then he also checked her pulse. After concluding that everything was fine, the crowd was at ease.
Twopetitions; one win and one loss. Bei Zhou and Xi Qi were temporarily tied.
Now, it¡¯s the turn of the thirdpetition. Before Wanyan Kang went to the tform, Murong Qi Qi whispered a few words in Wanyan Kang¡¯s ears. Wanyan Kang was somewhat surprised.
¡°Cousin-inw, no way! You really want it to be like that?¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
Murong Qi Qi nodded.
¡°Just answer me, will you help me or not?¡±
¡°This...¡±
Wanyan Kang frowned. He then looked at Su Mei. Lastly, he raised an eyebrow.
¡°Since, it¡¯s cousin-inw who asked, I¡¯ll use my utmost effort! I¡¯ll help!¡±
Chapter 101 Want to admit defeat, not a chance (1)
Chapter 101 Want to admit defeat, not a chance (1)
When Wanyan Kang mounted the venue, Murong Qi Qi returned to her seat and nestled into Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She lookedzily at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Don¡¯t look at him!¡±
Sensing that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze had stayed on Longze Jing Tian, Feng Cang turned Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small face towards him.
¡°Aside from me, don¡¯t look at other men, especially him!¡±
¡°Why...why is he special?¡±
Seeing the strong jealousy in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qi pretended not to know anything. She opened her eyes wide, making them look more innocent than those of a small deer and blinked at Feng Cang.
¡°Wangye,1 tell me!¡±
¡°Puchi....¡±
Seeing their miss acting so coquettishly towards guye, 2 Su Mei and Su Yue retreated to a side while smiling because the couple needed space to exchange some intimate words.
¡°Don¡¯t look is just don¡¯t look!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t like the way Longze Jing Tian looked at Murong Qi Qi. Although the way Li Yun Qing looked at this little woman was also not usual, but at least he had a degree of rxation, unlike Longze Jing Tian. His (LJT) eyes were like a hunter looking at a prey. Besides, there had been a marriage arrangement between Longze Jing Tian and Murong Qi Qi in the past. If it wasn¡¯t because something had happened in between, which made him write the ¡®breaking off engagement¡¯ letter; by now, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve been his Jing wangfei3.
Just the thought of this charming person in his arms, almost bing the bride of someone else, made Feng Cang¡¯s heart feel very ufortable. Besides, it seemed that Longze Jing Tian had discovered the good of Murong Qi Qi. He¡¯s beginning to pay attention to her. This made Feng Cang be even more vignt. The feeling of having his woman being thought about by another is bad!
¡°Qing Qing, what did you talk about with ah Kang just now?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s lips reached Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear and gently bit her earlobe.
¡°Tell me, tell me, what did you talk about? Does it have something to do with Longze Jing Tian?¡±
The hot air at her ear and also the way Feng Cang gently bit her ear, made a burst of numbness spread through Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body. She quickly pushed Feng Cang away.
¡°Wangye, there are many people here! Wangye, pay attention to your image!¡±
¡°Alright! Qing Qing, if you tell me about your and ah Kang¡¯s little secret, then I¡¯ll let you off!¡±
It¡¯s not easy to let Feng Cang be at ease. Longze Jing Tian is a lump on his heart. That¡¯s why, he needed to figure out this problem.
¡°Alright...¡±
Seeing Feng Cang being so persistent, Murong Qi Qi put her hand in a circle against Feng Cang¡¯s ear and whispered in it.
¡°Really?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were full of smiled.
¡°Qing Qing is the best!¡±
¡°Humph! Of course!¡±
Murong Qi Qi raised an eyebrow.
¡°This man had once humiliated me. Wangye, don¡¯t you know in this world, women and small-minded people are the hardest to deal with? That I didn¡¯t give him something in return then, doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯ve forgotten the humiliation he brought me. So, I¡¯ll let ah Kang teach him a very good lesson in my stead!¡±
¡°I feel much regret that I didn¡¯t draw Longze Jing Tian at thispetition. So, I could only ask ah Kang! Wangye, I told ah Kang, if he wins against Longze Jing Tian, then I¡¯ll buy a set of Guanghua gongzi¡¯s4 jewelry for Su Mei as a dowry!¡±
¡°He agreed?¡±
¡°Of course! Even heroes would find it difficult to get past the charms of a beautiful woman!¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s triumphant face, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but pinch her nose.
¡°Naughty! Why didn¡¯t I discover before that my little wangfei is such a naughty child?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not a child...¡±
Murong Qi Qi was dissatisfied with Feng Cang addressing her like that and wrinkled her nose.
¡°Alright, alright. It has started. Let¡¯s watch thepetition!¡±
On the tform, Longze Jing Tian had long pushed out his inner energy. He was afraid that what had happened to Li Yun Qing would happen again. He was afraid that Wanyan Kang would grab the crucial moment and take the initiative. By then, he (LJT) would lose the opportunity to push out his inner energy. That¡¯s why, from the moment he came up, he exposed his seventh level purple inner energy.
¡°Tsk...¡±
Seeing that Longze Jing Tian was acting so impatiently, Wanyan Kang yawned. This person truly gauged the heart of a gentleman with one¡¯s own mean measure. He was being so impatient, as if he (WK) would do something to him. So petty. He truly is the same as how cousin-inw described. This man has a bad personality!
To gauge the heart of a gentleman with one¡¯s own mean measure: narrow-minded people always guess things in their own narrow-minded ways.
Now, Wanyan Kang¡¯s whole mind was thinking about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. If he wins against Longze Jing Tian, she will give him a set of Guanghua gongzi¡¯s jewelry. So great! He has seen Guanghua gongzi¡¯s Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s jewelries. Not only were women moved; even he, a man, loved them so much, he was unable to put them down. If Su Mei has a set of Guanghua gongzi¡¯s jewelry, she would certainly be so happy! No matter what, today for that jewelry, he would fight with his life!
¡°Please!¡±
Longze Jing Tian did a gesture of inviting. Wanyan Kang humphed once.
Could this be the pretension that cousin-inw mentioned? Being a fake gentleman? The sound of the drum to start thepetition hasn¡¯t even sounded yet! What does he mean with this? He pushed his inner energy out and pulled out such a gentlemanly manner to invite him. Very hypocritical! No wonder cousin-inw dumped him! Cousin-inw made a truly wise choice!
¡®Boom...¡¯
The drums sounded. The thirdpetition finally began.
The moment it started, Longze Jing Tian flew fast like an arrow to Wanyan Kang. His weapon was an exquisite blue sword. Seeing Longze Jing Tian being so ¡®impatient¡¯, Wanyan Kangughed. This person really couldn¡¯t constrain his personality. Since it¡¯s like this, then let¡¯s y with him ording to how cousin-inw instructed!
At this point, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t push out his inner energy. Murong Qi Qi fancied his qinggong5 and let him wear Longze Jing Tian out. Sure enough, thispetition became a ¡®catch me if you can¡¯ game. Longze Jing Tian was the cat and Wanyan Kang was the mouse. On the tform, a game of the cat trying to catch the mouse was ying.
Shameless! Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t help himself from cursing Wanyan Kang in his heart.
Wanyan Kang being like this was for nothing more than wasting time and while he (WK) was at it, it also consumed the inner energy he (LJT) pushed out. Besides, before at the pagoda, he had hurt his feet. Although the medicine Murong Qi Qi gave was indeed very good, but now, scabs have already formed, since it¡¯s not a miracle medicine. His feet were also bandaged and they were also hurting! This person obviously wants to wear him out!
Longze Jing Tian guessed right. Wanyan Kang did indeed intend to go on like this. When Murong Qi Qi told him that Longze Jing Tian¡¯s feet had only recovered fifty percent; that at most, scabs had formed and he was notpletely healed, he¡¯d already intended to use such a way to consume time with Longze Jing Tian.
What cousin-inw said was right. No matter if it¡¯s ck cat or white cat, the cat who caught the mouse is a good cat. No matter what kind of way he used, as long as he wins thepetition, he¡¯s the king! Anyway, he didn¡¯t care about those images. This time, he needed to wear out Longze Jing Tian! Let him waste a pair of feet! Who let him always have intentions on cousin-inw?! Cousin-inw is cousin brother¡¯s!
Before the finals, Wanyan Kang also became aware about the ¡®bad intentions¡¯ in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes towards Murong Qi Qi.
In Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart, such a man is very shameless! In the past, he broke off with cousin-inw. Now, he wants to eat medicine for regret. Where in the world is there such a thing?! Besides, only his cousin brother, Feng Cang, is worthy of Murong Qi Qi. Others are just floating clouds!
On the tform, Wanyan Kang was energetically dodging; Longze Jing Tian was hot in pursuit. Grudgingly, it was as if eyes grew on the back of Wanyan Kang¡¯s head. Always, when Longze Jing Tian was just about to catch him, he would immediately fly away from the range of attack. Longze Jing Tian was helpless towards Wanyan Kang, but he also couldn¡¯t help but admire Wanyan Kang¡¯s qinggong.
Wanyan Kang turned his head and looked at Longze Jing Tian. He revealed a naughty smile.
¡°Jing wang, continue, ah! Let¡¯s warm up before we begin! I haven¡¯t warmed up yet!¡±
The audience almost vomited blood. People with a fast mind already calcted that they had already run one hundred and eightps. What¡¯s haven¡¯t warmed up yet? He ran for so long and still hadn¡¯t warmed up? It seemed that his highness the prince was deliberately amusing himself with Xi Qi¡¯s wangye!
If it was at another country, the audience would¡¯ve surely spat on Wanyan Kang and let him get off the tform! However, now they were in Bei Zhou. The citizens of Bei Zhou were happy looking. Anyway, as long as fifth highness wins, why bother with what kind of measures he used?!
In order to support Wanyan Kang, there were people in the audience who cheered: ¡°Your highness, take your time to warm up! What we have is time!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, your highness! At worst, we will eat dinner here before going home!¡±
When these words of Bei Zhou¡¯s citizens reached Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ears, she almost died from anger.
¡°These Bei Zhou¡¯s people are really shameless!¡±
Murong Qing Lian began to curse. She has never seen such a thick-skinned prince. Obviously, Jing wang¡¯s feet were still hurt. He (WK) had actually used such a despicable way topete! Really despicable! No need to mention those Bei Zhou¡¯s people who were cheering! Really, what kind of prince the country has, is what kind of citizens it would have!
Seeing Bei Zhou¡¯s people ¡®ugly and repulsive faces¡¯, Murong Qing Lian once again thought about that bitch, Murong Qi Qi. Truly a bitch like the others, over the top bad! When it¡¯s her turn, she must definitely teach Murong Qi Qi a good lesson. She needs to trample very hard on that arrogant face! For sure!
While Murong Qing Lian was worried about Longze Jing Tian, at the other side, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart was also beating in her throat. Although, she didn¡¯t know that Longze Jing Tian had injured his feet at the pagoda, but from Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face, she could see the seriousness of the matter. In her heart, she couldn¡¯t help but curse Wanyan Kang countless times.
On the tform, Wanyan Kang was ying leisurely. If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qi Qi gave him this trick, he would¡¯ve long pushed out his inner energy and went head to head with Longze Jing Tian. Now, he was bouncing to here and bouncing to there. Very rxing. asionally, he would stop to rest and take a breath. He felt great!
In contrast to Wanyan Kang, because of him running around for a long time, the wounds on Longze Jing Tian¡¯s feet opened once again. Blood slowly spread in his socks. His shoes had a wet feeling. The most painful thing was, he had sweaty feet. At this moment, his two feet were emitting a lot of sweat. The wound was infected with salty sweat; a burning pain came that few people could endure.
Damn it! Even if Longze Jing Tian needed to pay attention to his image, he now truly wanted to curse! Looking once again at that smiling face of Wanyan Kang; in his heart, he wished he could grab him and cut off his head with one stroke of the sword.
Wanyan Kang sensed the change in Longze Jing Tian. He took a closer look. It was just like how Murong Qi Qi described it. On Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ck shoes, a somewhat darker color appeared. Also, on the white soles, there was a touch of red. It seemed that he had endured to the extreme. Wanyan Kang admired Murong Qi Qi endlessly.
However, while admiring, Wanyan Kang became more aware that there wouldn¡¯t be a good end if he offended Murong Qi Qi. This cousin-inw was clever, but she also held long grudges. This Longze Jing Tian had offended cousin-inw; it could be considered that he was unlucky! He also needs to be more careful in the future. He must not offend Murong Qi Qi, lest he also be abused!
Longze Jing Tian stopped and no longer chased after Wanyan Kang. If he continued like this, his pair of feet would certainly be destroyed. Now, he must stop and it would be better to quickly finish this! Wanyan Kang was obviously consuming his time; wanting to hold him here! He had already been fooled once. He could no longer let this nasty person¡¯s wish be fulfilled!
Since Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t move, Wanyan Kang also didn¡¯t move. He used his pair of hands as a fan and fanned at his face. While fanning, he spoke in a peculiar tone: ¡°Aiya, it is indeed a warm up, ah. After running a fewps, I finally got warm. My whole body is covered in sweat. Later when I go back, I need tofortably take a bath. Otherwise, if I smell, the beauty won¡¯t like it.¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice was loud. Coupled with that lowly face, it made people couldn¡¯t help themselves but want to go to him and give him two ps in the face.
¡°Miss, did you give him the idea?¡±
Seeing Wanyan Kang acting like that, Su Mei couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°He doesn¡¯t have such a clever mind!¡±
Murong Qi Qi smiled but didn¡¯t answer. Looking at the situation, Longze Jing Tian wouldn¡¯t be able to hold it in much longer. She didn¡¯t mind using ¡®despicable¡¯ means to beat the opponent. As long as one can win, what did it matter if it was fair or unfair?!
Fairness was just a big hat the ruling social ss forced themoners to wear. If there was fairness, then there wouldn¡¯t be a gap between rich and poor! If there was fairness, when Longze Jing Tian looked at her with contemptuous eyes and saw her as a rubbish, did he thought to be fair to her?
Longze Jing Tian tried to put on a calm expression. His eyes were focused on Wanyan Kang. The pain on his feet distracted him. Those wounds, which had formed scabs, were now open again. Pain spread from the soles of his feet and stimted his brain.
¡°Show your weapon. Fight squarely like a man with me!¡±
The goading in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words may have had an effect on somebody else, but on Wanyan Kang, it didn¡¯t have any effect. He (LJT) chose the wrong person! This prince never cared for things like face and image. If he cared about face, then he wouldn¡¯t be the prince of Bei Zhou¡¯s dynasty who let the emperor get the most headaches!
¡°What to do? I didn¡¯t finish warming up yet. Besides, I¡¯m only eighteen! Also, I haven¡¯t married yet! I don¡¯t even have a woman! I haven¡¯t experienced a woman; how can I be called a man?! Please, call me a little boy! I¡¯m still very innocent!¡±
When Wanyan Kang said that, he turned his head and gave Su Mei a flirtatious wink.
¡°Pu...¡±
Su Mei almost spurted out blood. This guy, really! Such a serious moment like thispetition, he still said such words! And thinking about the content of those words, it¡¯s simply too bad! Really worthy of being a yer!
On contrary to Su Mei, Murong Qi Qi admired Wanyan Kang more and more. he truly is a weirdo of the imperial family. His skin is thick enough! It¡¯s just, don¡¯t know what Longze Jing Tian would do when encountering such a person!
Sure enough, Longze Jing Tian almost went crazy because of Wanyan Kang. Is this person truly a prince from Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family? Why is he so out of tune? That skin is thicker than the walls! Why did Bei Zhou make such a weird prince?!
Wanyan Kang was put by Longze Jing Tian in the category ¡®off the mark¡¯ humans. There was anguage barrier while talking to such a person. It¡¯s better to act than talk!
They had already rested for a while. Although on the surface, Longze Jing Tian put on a very tired look, but the hand holding the sword had been secretly moving his energy. He must take the other party down in one strike! Let him never be so arrogant again!
Wanyan Kang pretended to have not seen through Longze Jing Tian¡¯s thoughts. Instead, he continued to wink flirtatiously at Su Mei; as if this was his stage and he¡¯s fawning at the woman he likes.
¡°This bastard! Is he stillpeting or not?!¡±
Seeing that everyone were looking over here, Su Mei¡¯s face got hot again. She ferociously red at Wanyan Kang. However, in herining words was a touch of sweetness.
¡°Ai, people in love, ah! How beautiful!¡±
Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help butment, but she had been pulled by Feng Cang into his arms.
¡°Does Qing Qing envy ah Kang and Su Mei very much? Could it be that I don¡¯t treat Qing Qing good enough? Why is there a need to envy others?¡±
Feng Cang once again began to find vinegar to eat. Murong Qi Qi gave one of his cheeks a kiss.
¡°Wangye, I was justmenting for a moment! Su Mei followed me for so many years. When a girl grows up, it¡¯s difficult to keep her. I have a feeling that I¡¯m marrying a daughter off!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s, Su Mei stood up.
¡°Miss is the most bad one! I¡¯m ignoring miss!¡±
While stomping, Su Mei turned away from the stands.
¡°Heehee!¡±
Su Yue covered her mouth withughter, but she has been caught by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Su Yue, Su Mei has already fallen in love, you also need to do your best, ah! I¡¯m still waiting to eat sweets from your wedding! If you guys marry at the same time, how great would that be?!¡±
¡°Miss!¡±
Su Yue blushed.
¡°Miss broke down Su Mei and is now making fun of me! I won¡¯t marry! I want to follow and serve miss for a whole lifetime!¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk...¡±
Seeing Su Yue like that, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but tsked twice.
¡°When I marry, could it be that you want to be a dowry maid?¡±
Dowry maid are maids/girls who follow the bride to the groom¡¯s house. Usually, they would be used as a way to let the bride stay in power in the family by sending her maid to the groom¡¯s bed. The bride would stay in power since her ve contract is in the bride¡¯s hands. It¡¯s better to let the dowry maid get the groom¡¯s love instead of some unknown girl who cannot be controlled by the bride.
¡°Miss!¡±
Su Yue¡¯s face had gonepletely red. What is she (MQQ) talking about? She doesn¡¯t want to be a dowry maid! She only wanted to follow Murong Qi Qi and never thought of something else.
¡°If miss continues to talk nonsense, then I and Su Mei will iste you!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright. I won¡¯t talk about it anymore! I¡¯ll keep you and send Su Mei away. In the future, you¡¯ll follow me. I won¡¯t marry you off!¡±
Murong Qi Qi gestured with her hands in mercy and put on an ¡®I surrender¡¯ expression. That amused Su Yue, making herugh. At this time, the two people on the tform had already confronted each other for a long time. Longze Jing Tian stood there without moving. Wanyan Kang also didn¡¯t move. On his face was a naughty smile. He looked left and right as if this was not apetition but a pic.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s attitude irritated Longze Jing Tian. This bastard! What did he take thepetition for? He didn¡¯t respect thepetition like this! Longze Jing Tian wished he could go and twist Wanyan Kang¡¯s neck. He had never seen someone more shameless than Wanyan Kang. This person is truly the scum of the imperial family!
Wanyan Kang turned a blind eye to Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ugly expression. He dug in his ears for one moment. Hezily stretched for another moment. He looked at the sky for another moment. In short, he was veryfortable and rxed. When he saw Su Mei walk down the tform, Wanyan Kang waved at her.
¡°Little Mei er!6 I¡¯m here!¡±
It¡¯s this opportunity! Longze Jing Tian cleverly captured Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®blind spot¡¯. He flew in the sky and shouted once. The sword went straight at Wanyan Kang¡¯s back.
¡°Be careful!¡±
Seeing Longze Jing Tian flying full of murderous aura towards Wanyan Kang, Su Mei screamed. However, she was toote. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s swords was almost at Wanyan Kang¡¯s back.
¡°Your highness, kill him!¡±
Seeing this scene, Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t help but clench her fists and began to scream excitedly.
After being yed by Wanyan Kang for so long, Longze Jing Tian finally exposed a cruel smile. Dare to make fun of him? Where¡¯s there such a beautiful thing in the world?! He¡¯s Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang Longze Jing Tian! Not everyone can make fun of him!
Under the winter sunlight, the sword exuded a quiet cold light and went straight at Wanyan Kang¡¯s back. Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t as excited as Su Mei, but her hand tightly held Feng Cang¡¯s big hand. Her heart was also very nervous.
Chapter 102 Want to admit defeat, not a chance (2)
Chapter 102 Want to admit defeat, not a chance (2)
¡°It would be alright!¡±
Feng Cang was a lot calmer. How could he not know Wanyan Kang¡¯s ability? If he couldn¡¯t dodge this, then he¡¯s truly too weak!
Just when the sword was about to stab Wanyan Kang, Wanyan Kang somersaulted backwards and fell off the tform, but his hands were still at the edge of the tform.
That his sword stabbed into air was beyond Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expectations. When he saw that pair of hands, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s sword mercilessly went to Wanyan Kang¡¯s fingers.
Kuang...
Wanyan Kang rolled his body and went up the tform again. His feet kicked Longze Jing Tian¡¯s sword, making a burst of golden light.
Only now did Longze Jing Tian found out that Wanyan Kang¡¯s shoes each had a shiny dagger.
¡°Oh no!¡±
Longze Jing Tian shouted once. Wanyan Kang¡¯s feet already flew over at him. Seeing this, Murong Qi Qi understood that the most powerful thing about Wanyan Kang were those legs. Fast, ruthless and sinister! Wanyan Kang¡¯s pair of legs repeatedly attacked Longze Jing Tian¡¯s lower part, especially his legs. Every attack had the intention to kill!
Seeing this, Su Mei finally sighed from relief. In her heart, she reproached Wanyan Kang for a while. This guy truly let people worry. He truly didn¡¯t keep himself from trouble!
In just a moment, Longze Jing Tian became the passive one. Originally, his feet had already hurt a lot. Now, they became the object of Wanyan Kang¡¯s attack. Gradually, every step Longze Jing Tian took would leave a bright red blood print on the ground. Seeing this, the audience couldn¡¯t help but stand up.
Can¡¯t be like this! Can¡¯t lose! Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth. He¡¯s Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang.1 How could he lose to Bei Zhou¡¯s prince?! Then he would lose all face!
When Wanyan Kang¡¯s attack came once again, Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t hide or dodge. His pair of legs suffered two cuts.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Murong Qing Lian screamed, but Longze Jing Tian acted as if he didn¡¯t feel the pain. Without even pausing the slightest, he stabbed with his sword at Wanyan Kang. He let Wanyan Kang attack him because he wanted to find an opportunity to be close to him (WK)! Now, he already pushed Wanyan Kang to the edge of the tform. Now, he only needs this opportunity!
Longze Jing Tian, at the expense of his legs, was all for an opportunity to defeat him. This made Wanyan Kang admire him a bit. He couldn¡¯t dodge the sword which suddenly came at him. He could only approach and grab Longze Jing Tian¡¯s sword with his left hand.
¡°Ah...,¡± someone in the audience screamed.
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t stop. The sword continued to pierce forward. The sword passed through Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand. At this point, the two were face to face. There was only the distance of a finger between them.
¡°Hehe...,¡± Wanyan Kang suddenlyughed. This made a bad feeling rise in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart.
¡°Jing wang, it¡¯s not only you who knows how to break an arm to protect yourself!¡±
Finished speaking, Wanyan Kang¡¯s right fist hit Longze Jing Tian¡¯s chest.
Bang!
Longze Jing Tian let go and fell back from the tform.
Wanyan Kang removed and threw away the sword in his hand and looked at Longze Jing Tian with a serious expression. The blood on his palm dripped drop by drop on the ground.
¡°You lost! However, you¡¯re an admirable opponent!¡±
When Wanyan Kang stepped down the tform, Su Mei immediately rushed towards him and held his hand. Seeing the cut made from the sword as well as the exposed bones, Su Mei felt so much heartache that she cried.
¡°You fool!¡±
¡°Little Mei er2, are you crying for me?¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s finger gently touched Su Mei¡¯s tears. He put it to his mouth and tasted it.
¡°Tears are bitter. I don¡¯t like it! In the future, don¡¯t cry anymore! I like your fierce self better!¡±
Wanyan Kang saying such unsensational words made Su Mei cry even harder.
¡°You, this bastard! Could it be that you don¡¯t know how much I¡¯ll be worried?!¡±
¡°Aiyaya!¡±
Being scolded by Su Mei made Wanyan Kang be in a good mood, but he put on a painful expression.
¡°Little Mei er, if you don¡¯t cure my hand, I¡¯m afraid that it would be crippled in the future!¡±
Only now, did Su Mei remember that Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand was injured. She immediately took him away to bandage it.
At this side, Longze Jing Tian was also escorted back to his seat. Seeing the doctor bandage the wounds on his feet, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s tears rolled in her eyes.
¡°The injury didn¡¯t reach the bones. It¡¯s only injury of the surface!¡±
Although the doctor said that, but Murong Qing Lian still felt that her heart hurt very much.
If it wasn¡¯t because she was afraid of rats and he had carried her across the chain, then Longze Jing Tian¡¯s feet wouldn¡¯t have gotten wounded and he also wouldn¡¯t have been bullied at thepetition by that bastard Wanyan Kang.
¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore. Prepare yourself to y a good battle!¡±
Longze Jing Tian looked a bit tired. After losing thispetition, he felt that there was no longer hope for this tournament of the four countries. Murong Qing Lian going up against Murong Qi Qi; his intuition told him Murong Qi Qi would win.
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t know Longze Jing Tian had already prepared himself for a loss. Instead, because of his words, her confidence rose more than one hundred percent.
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t worry. I will certainly win!¡±
Murong Qing Lian was hell bent on winning against Murong Qi Qi in order to avenge Longze Jing Tian. Murong Qi Qi slowly took off her fox furred coat. She stepped on the tform at a leisurely pace.
Today was thepetition. She had specially put on red clothes. The warm and unrestrained color made Murong Qi Qi look clever and refined, as though a proud snow red plum flower was blooming in this winter December.
When Murong Qing Lian came to the tform with a bitter and hateful expression, Murong Qi Qiughed: ¡°You¡¯ve arrived!¡±
After seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s calm face, Murong Qing Lian immediately got angry. She pulled out her soft sword and her inner energy was quickly released.
¡°Yo, has be serious? Since you became serious, then I¡¯ll apany you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s weapon was the same as when she had fought with Guli. It was the red muslin. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was so calm, Jia Lan couldn¡¯t help but nod.
¡°The imposing attitude is not bad! Don¡¯t know how the result would be!¡±
¡°Sir Jia Lan, who do you think would win?¡±
Jin Yu stood beside Jia Lan and looked at the two women on the tform.
¡°Murong Qi Qi.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Jia Lan¡¯s answer was a bit of a surprise for Jin Yu.
¡°Intuition.¡±
¡°But the pearl we found at the sixth floor hade from a pearl ne. That ne belongs to Murong Qing Lian!¡±
Jin Yu¡¯s voice showed that he was very confused.
¡°Oh, just because she was able to clear the floors doesn¡¯t mean that she would win here. Wait and see!¡±
This pair of sisters, Murong Qi Qi and Murong Qing Lian, shed all pretenses of cordiality. This time, they no longer spoke those words of courtesy. When the sounds of the drums sounded, the two became very serious.
This was thestpetition of the tournament of the four countries. It was also the most criticalpetition. Before, Bei Zhou had two wins and was temporarily in the lead. Now, if Murong Qing Lian wins, then the two countries would tie. By then, one morepetition would be held.
Everyone could see the contestants of the two countries clearly. Murong Qing Lian was the blue fifth level. With her age of fifteen years, to be able to reach this level was already very good. Looking at this side, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any inner energy and was rumored to be a rubbish. Could she really deal with thispetition?
This question hovered in the hearts of the citizens. Everyone stared without blinking at this pair of sisters from Murong family. They wanted to know who was a level above the other.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t intend to be polite with Murong Qing Lian. So, from the moment it started, she let the red muslin go straight at Murong Qing Lian.
Danger! Murong Qing Lian¡¯s nerves sensed dangering. She wanted to dodge, but unexpectedly, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s speed was so fast. So fast, that she hadn¡¯t even moved her body yet, when the red muslin heavily hit her butt.
¡®Pa!¡¯
Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t help but shout in a low voice from the pain.
¡°Painful?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s revealed an evil yet beautiful smile.
¡°There are more painful things that would follow!¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯
Once again, the red muslin hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body. This time, the force was more powerful. It directly made Murong Qing Lian hit the ground.
Murong Qing Lian hadn¡¯t even made a move yet, but she had already been made to hit the ground by the other party. This let the citizens, who had been a little afraid of Xi Qi¡¯s contestant, begin to scoff. Outside the tform, it was full of voices of dissatisfaction as if Murong Qing Lian was a weakling.
¡°Murong Qi Qi!¡±
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t expect that from the moment it started, Murong Qi Qi would use such a way to ¡®humiliate¡¯ her. A girl being hit on the butt in the public; how shameful was that?!
¡°Ah...¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer Murong Qing Lian. Instead, she moved the red muslin in her hand and once again let it go to Murong Qing Lian.
Two parts of red muslin were like two fire red snakes with bloody mouths, wanting to devour Murong Qing Lian.
This time, Murong Qing Lian was prepared. Not waiting for the red muslin toe near, she rolled over to another side.
¡®Pa!¡¯
The red muslin hit the ground, breaking the stone into small pieces. One of those small pieces hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face. Immediately, her forehead became swollen.
Before, she tolerated Murong Qing Lian for so long. This time, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t simply want to teach Murong Qing Lian a lesson. She wanted to kill Murong Qing Lian.
There had been many times before, where someone died at the tournament of the four countries. It would only be a small matter if she killed Murong Qing Lian here. So, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t intend to let Murong Qing Lian go down the tform. She also didn¡¯t intend to give her the opportunity to beg for mercy.
¡®Papapa!¡±
The red muslin followed Murong Qing Lian. Again and again, it hit Murong Qing Lian.
Before, when dueling with Guli, Murong Qi Qi had the heart to y with Guli. That¡¯s why the red muslin only hit the stones next to Guli¡¯s feet and didn¡¯t hurt her (G). This time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red muslin urately hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body.
At this time, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s whole body suffered a beating. It was so painful; her tears almost fell out. Her inner energy waspletely useless. One, it was because she couldn¡¯t get close to Murong Qi Qi. Two, from the moment it started, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give her the opportunity to attack.
Attacking, attacking without stopping was what Murong Qi Qi currently doing.
When a person loses the initiative, it¡¯s the same as putting his/her life in someone else¡¯s hands. So, in order to survive, one must grasp the initiative first. This was what adopted father taught her (MQQ) before and also something she had never dared to forget.
¡®Pa!¡¯
This time, the red muslin hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face. Immediately, her left cheek became red and swollen like a red steamed bun.
Seeing the red muslin once againing at her, Murong Qing Lian wanted to block her face. However, she didn¡¯t know why she was one beat slower. The red muslin hit her right cheek. Now, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face was swollen like a pig. Seeing her appearance, the audienceughed. Some people shouted: ¡°Good.¡±
There were also people who pped and cheered for Murong Qi Qi.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi beat Murong Qing Lian in a rage, Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
It turned out that she had been mistaken. In the past, she thought that Murong Qi Qi was so arrogant because she was relying on the powerful maids at her side. Now, she finally understood, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t need to rely on anyone. She herself was someone powerful. That¡¯s why she¡¯s so arrogant.
Murong Qi Qi, you hid very well! You deceived everyone!
The thought that she was deceived so bitterly by Murong Qi Qi; and lost her mother, her child and the position of wangfei3 which she had almost gotten in her hands, Wanyan Bao Zhu clenched her fists tightly. She red fiercely at Murong Qi Qi. She wished she could peel her (MQQ) skin, eat her flesh and drink her blood.
The abnormal state fell into Ji Xiang¡¯s eyes. She silently remembered this scene. Feng Cang let her spy on Wanyan Bao Zhu in secret. Whenever she encounters something strange, she must report back to him. That¡¯s why Ji Xiang had been paying close attention to Wanyan Bao Zhu. It¡¯s just that now, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s eyes and heart were full of hatred for Murong Qi Qi; how would she notice that Ji Xiang had been hiding in the dark and observing her every move?
¡°Cousin brother, cousin-inw is very valiant, ah...¡±
The already bandaged Wanyan Kang looked with eyes wide open at Murong Qi Qi, full of disbelief.
¡°Cousin brother, is that still my gentle, kind and amiable cousin-inw? Why do I feel that she¡¯s so frightening, ah?!¡±
¡°Is she not great? I like it very much.¡±
Feng Cang put a candied fruit in his mouth.
¡°She is most beautiful being like this...¡±
¡°Ah, ah, ah! You¡¯re both perverts!¡±
After hearing Feng Cang¡¯s words, Wanyan Kang quickly shed to a side.
¡°Cousin brother and cousin sister are perverts! You two really are a true match!¡±
Feng Cang turned his face and smiled at Wanyan Kang.
¡°If you say one more word, when shees back, I¡¯ll tell Qing Qing what you said just now. Tell me, would that handsome face you cared about so much turn the same as Murong Qing Lian¡¯s, looking like a pig¡¯s?¡±
The evil smile on Feng Cang¡¯s face made Wanyan Kang shudder. He immediately put on a smile: ¡°Cousin brother, we¡¯re brothers. There¡¯s no need to tell cousin-inw those words! See, I still need to rely on this face to pursue little Mei er! Cousin brother, have mercy, ah!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
No longer bothering anymore with Wanyan Kang¡¯s brazen face, Feng Cang¡¯s gaze once again followed Murong Qi Qi.
On the wide tform, Murong Qi Qi, dressed fully in red, was like a warm day in this silent winter, illuminating everyone¡¯s eyes.
In the people¡¯s eyes, aside from Murong Qing Lian¡¯s screams, this was not apetition. It was a gorgeous solo dance. Murong Qi Qi danced with the red muslin in her left hand. The red muslin looked like a sleeve dancing in the sky, throwing a beautiful arc. Her slender waist also swayed in this cold weather. It was truly a beautiful picture.
¡°This woman is an extraordinary person.¡±
Jia Lan quietly looked at Murong Qi Qi.
No one would link killing and art together. Although Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body emitted a cold, killing aura; but on her face was a smile, a sweet sweet smile, and coupled with a flying appearance, it simply didn¡¯t look like she was in the midst of killing someone. Instead, it was as if she waspleting a piece of art.
Such a woman would make people couldn¡¯t help but want to explore everything about her. He didn¡¯t think thating to the maind this time, he would be able to see such a woman as Murong Qi Qi. It¡¯s just, Murong Qi Qi wanted to kill Murong Qing Lian. He couldn¡¯t watch that happen with folded arms. If Murong Qing Lian truly was that person Misha wanted to find; if she died, how would he exin to Misha?
Watch with folded arms: stand by without doing anything
Murong Qing Lianid on the ground, battered and exhausted. The pain on her body was already inexplicable with words. It looked like Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red muslin just hit her body; however, those parts it hit were very critical. Now, her ankles had been dislocated. Her calves were also dislocated. Aside from her two arms that could still move, she was simply unable to stand up.
This woman is truly too frightening! Murong Qing Lian finally understood that Murong Qi Qi was someone not to be offended. Those reckless words of hers werepletely spoken without thought. Her brain must¡¯ve been filled with feces. How could she have done such a stupid thing?
Beforeing to Bei Zhou, big brother Murong Jun repeatedly told her not to go find trouble at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. At that time, she scoffed and felt that Murong Jun was making a fuss about nothing. What can a rubbish do? However, now she knew the real Murong Qi Qi. She really regretted it! She¡¯s truly afraid!
¡°Qing Lian, admit defeat. End thepetition!¡±
Longze Jing Tian, who was looking at the tournament, be aware of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s intention to kill Murong Qing Lian. He immediately gave amand to Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Quickly, get off the tform!¡±
¡°Oh...¡±
Seeing that Longze Jing Tian ordered Murong Qing Lian and once again wanted to save her, Murong Qi Qiughed. He¡¯d already saved her one, two times from her (MQQ) hands; could it be that he wanted to save her for the third time? This time, even if Yanwanges, he (Y) wouldn¡¯t be able to save her!
Yanwang: the king of hell and the judge of the death.
The rule of the finals was that you only needed to let the opponent get off the tform or that you admit defeat to end thepetition; otherwise, thepetition would continue.
Murong Qi Qi seized this point. That was why her goal had been to aim at her (MQL) ankles and calves. It was to let her unable to get off the tform. Like that, thepetition would continue, till she was beaten to death.
Murong Qing Lian heard Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. She also knew that Murong Qi Qi wanted to use this opportunity to kill her. So, even though her legs had been dislocated, she still struggled to crawl to the edge of the tform. One step, two steps...Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian to crawl to the edge, the red muslin wrapped around her feet and pulled her back.
¡°Good little sister, didn¡¯t you say before that you wanted to let me see some color? Now, it¡¯s already been so long, but I haven¡¯t seen any color. How could this be alright?! Maybe you should let out some blood to let me see some red; perhaps then, thispetition would be over. ¡°
Letting someone see color: teach someone a lesson
¡°Murong Qi Qi, don¡¯t go overboard!¡±
Murong Qing Lian gritted her teeth. What see red? Isn¡¯t that letting her (MQQ) see blood! She¡¯s already in such a sorry state, what more does Murong Qi Qi want?
¡°I went overboard?¡±
Hearing this from Murong Qing Lian, Murong Qi Qi acted like she heard the world¡¯s biggest joke. The red muslin danced, wrapping around Murong Qing Lian tightly and bringing her to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°When daddy punished me with the wooden stick, who secretly put nails on the stick?¡±
Chapter 103 Don’t want to answer, then I’ll kiss you (1)
Chapter 103 Don¡¯t want to answer, then I¡¯ll kiss you (1)
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Murong Qing Lian surprised. Her red lips trembled slightly.
¡°What, what are you saying? I don¡¯t understand...¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand or are you denying it?¡±
Murong Qi Qi sneered. The killing intent in her beautiful eyes became stronger.
¡°Do I need to thank you for having mercy? Fortunately, you only used two nails; if you had put in twenty, then wouldn¡¯t I have died on the spot? No...you wouldn¡¯t have used so much; otherwise, it would¡¯ve exposed your vicious heart. So, you only put in two. One left, one right, stabbing into my bones!¡±
Just thinking about those things the original owner of this body had experienced, made the gaze Murong Qi Qi looked at Murong Qing Lian turn colder. Before, this pitiful person died at the hands of these vicious people! Now, she had time travelled here. If it wasn¡¯t because she¡¯d encountered godfather and master and got treatment in time, these pair of legs would¡¯ve been considered destroyed.
¡°No, no, it wasn¡¯t me...¡±
Murong Qing Lian shook her head and bit her lips. Murong Qi Qi actually found out that this matter was done by her. How could that be?!
She just wanted to teach Murong Qi Qi a lesson. That¡¯s why she let people put moving nails on the cracks of the wooden stick. With the first beating, those nails would go into her bones. She heard that because of this, some people¡¯s legs had be destroyed. She didn¡¯t expect that not only was Murong Qi Qi safe and sound, she¡¯d also learned martial arts!
When Murong Qi Qi came back, she¡¯d only thought that she (MQQ) was lucky and that those nails had only went into her skin but didn¡¯t hurt her bones. Now, after hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Murong Qing Lian finally understood those nails did indeed hurt her. It¡¯s just, even with that, she was able to survive! Truly incredible!
¡°Oh...¡±
Seeing that Murong Qing Lian was nearing her death, but still acting so tight-lipped, the coldness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes immediately melted and became very gentle and soft.
¡°Whether or not it was you, I would still hold you ountable!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian to ponder over the plot behind Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sweet smile, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand tightened and pulled away the red muslin, which was currently wrapped around Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Ah...¡±
Murong Qing Lian screamed in pain. The red muslin brushed against her skin, immediately leaving ayer of tender-like, thin cuts. Blood instantly tainted her light colored dress.
Not good! Jia Lan was shocked. He didn¡¯t know that Murong Qi Qi could wound people like this with only a red muslin.
¡°Sir, this is the tournament of the four countries. We can¡¯t intervene!¡±
Seeing that Jia Lan wanted to save Murong Qing Lian, Jin Yu quickly grabbed his arm.
¡°Not to mention how weak she is. How could she be the one sir Misha is searching for?!¡±
Jia Lan knew that Jin Yu was right. How could the person who broke the illusion of the sixth floor be so ¡®disappointing¡¯?
It¡¯s just, beforeing, Misha made it clear to him, that it¡¯s better to recognize a thousand people wrong than to let go of one! So, in the end, whether or not this Murong Qing Lian was truly the one Misha wanted to find, they could only wait till Misha personally confirmed it. And his task was to ensure that Murong Qing Lian was still alive until Misha arrived.
Just as Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red muslin wrapped once again around Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body, a figure in blue appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi. A silver light shed. The fine knife in Jia Lan¡¯s hand cut the red muslin in two.
¡°Miss, the person already admitted defeat, why should you take a person¡¯s life?! Where it¡¯s possible to let people off, one should spare them!¡±
Where it¡¯s possible to let people off, one should spare them: anyone can make mistakes, forgive them when possible.
With a never changing smile, Jia Lan¡¯s expression was gentle and calm. The sudden appearance of Jia Lan made Murong Qi Qi surprised for a moment and also let Murong Qing Lian see hope.
¡°Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven floors pagoda. Besides, miss and her are family. Why the need to ughter your own kind?!¡±
Murong Qing Lianid panting on the ground. Those small wounds hurted so much. Seeing that someone hade to save her, Murong Qing Lian quickly crawled over and held onto Jia Lan¡¯s leg, just like when someone fell into the water and saw a life saver. She tightly clutched Jia Lan¡¯s clothes.
¡°I beg you, save me. She would kill me. I beg you! Save me!¡±
The force that came from his feet made Jia Lan frown slightly.
He looked and saw that the blue clothes were tainted with blood. Jia Lan¡¯s expression turned uglier. Although he still maintained his smile, but the knife in his hand cut off the piece that Murong Qing Lian was clutching on his clothes. He turned sideways, retrieved his leg and didn¡¯t let Murong Qing Lian approach him again.
He didn¡¯t like the touch of a woman. Besides, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body was stained with blood. So dirty. Afraid that Murong Qing Lian would once again wrap herself around him, Jia Lan simply stood at a ce far from her in order to prevent her getting close to him.
¡°Why don¡¯t you let her off?! Do it as if you¡¯re giving me face!¡±
Jia Lan smiled at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°You?¡±
Murong Qi Qi was already very unhappy at being disturbed. Now, Jia Lan farted a pile of shitty words out, making Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood turn for the worse. She raised an eyebrow and revealed a charming smile.
¡°Who are you? What face do you have to be qualified for me to give you face?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was full of dissatisfaction. Her sarcastic words made Jia Lan surprised for a moment. For the first time, a smile did not appear on his face.
That Murong Qi Qi would refuse was within the expectation of Jia Lan. Although, he didn¡¯t overhear the conversation between Murong Qi Qi and Murong Qing Lian, but from the information he had gathered, in the past at Murong fu1, Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t let this third big sister have a good life. So, the grudges between them were already there. It was not like it would be put down just because he said so.
It¡¯s just, he¡¯d already epted the order from Misha beforeing here. Whether or not Murong Qing Lian was the person Misha wanted to find, as long as there was this possibility, then he must do the thing he¡¯d promised Misha. Today, he would take this Murong Qing Lian under his care!
¡°Then, what do miss want to be willing to let her go?¡±
¡°Ask my red muslin if it is willing to give you face!¡±
While Murong Qi Qi was talking, the red muslin in her hand went straight at Jia Lan¡¯s face. However, it hadn¡¯t touched Jia Lan yet, when it was grabbed by him.
¡°Miss, as long as I have it, miss can ask for it. I would offer it to you with both hands. I only ask for miss to spare her life today!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was fast. Jia Lan was even faster. To be able to grab her red muslin at such a short distance; for the first time Murong Qi Qi felt that this Jia Lan was someone who couldn¡¯t be ignored.
Since Jia Lan was a high skilled master, being in a deadlock with him wouldn¡¯t bring her any good. Not to mention, the future was long. There would be more opportunities. Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi smiled faintly. The coldness from her body disappeared and she turned back into that gentle and weak woman.
¡°Today, I can give you face and let her go, but you need to promise me three things.¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Jia Lan nodded. To be able to let Murong Qi Qi loosen was already not an easy thing. If it wasn¡¯t for Misha, he wouldn¡¯t have pleaded for someone ipetent.
¡°The first one, bark three times.¡±
¡°You...¡±
Hearing this, Jia Lan¡¯s expression changed once again. What did she mean by this? Humiliating him? Anger appeared on Jia Lan¡¯s face.
Murong Qi Qi saw that anger on Jia Lan¡¯s face clearly. Although she didn¡¯t know why Jia Lan went against the rules and helped, but he broke her good matter. She couldn¡¯t let this pass so easily. She wanted to see how much determination did this man have to save Murong Qing Lian from her hands.
¡°Hehe, I thought you were a man and was ready to give and take! I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯re just all about talking...¡±
¡°Woof, woof, woof!¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to finish, Jia Lan opened his mouth. Three barks came from his mouth and spread throughout the entire venue.
¡°Hahahaha!¡±
Everyoneughed. Wanyan Kang even fell from his chair onto the ground out ofughter.
¡°Aiyaya, this idea of cousin-inw is not bad! Next time, when making a bet with someone, I¡¯ll also do this!¡±
Everyone¡¯sughter made Jia Lan¡¯s unmovable face get a touch of pink. He tried very hard tofort himself that this was for Misha. That he would let Misha repay him back fiercely! All of these troubles were stirred up by that damn Misha!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect that for Murong Qing Lian, Jia Lan was willing to do till this step. What kind of secret was there? Murong Qi Qi was curious about that. Since the other party did as she asked, she also couldn¡¯t continue to make things hard for Murong Qing Lian.
When theughter gradually died down, Jia Lan was also a lot calmer.
¡°What are the two other things?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know yet. Remember them first. In the future, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
Murong Qi Qizily swept once over Jia Lan. She turned her face and looked at Murong Qing Lian who was creeping on the ground.
¡°Murong Qing Lian, listen well! In the future, you better behave well. Next time, if you see me and still act so rude, I will beat you to death! If you have nothing to do, go pray more. Pray that next time, you would still be so lucky to have a foolish maning to save you!¡±
After he became a ¡®foolish¡¯ man from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s point of view, Jia Lanughed bitterly. Misha, ah, Misha, if it wasn¡¯t because of the brotherhood between us; if it wasn¡¯t because of the grace I have for you saving my life, I wouldn¡¯t have degraded myself like this...
Not waiting for Jia Lan to think more, Murong Qi Qi pulled back the red muslin from Jia Lan¡¯s hand. When the red muslin disappeared, Jia Lan felt a pain in his palm. He spread his palm out. On his palm were numerous fine wounds. The next moment, the wounds split open and blood sprayed out.
A ruthless woman! Jia Lan was surprised. He immediately pressed his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. Just a red muslin was able to hurt him like this! How did she do it? Was it done by just the threads on the red muslin?
¡°Ah, saving someone from my hands, you must also prepare yourself to suffer pain. Jia Lan, I don¡¯t care who you are or what kind of motive you have. Next time, if you stop me again, it won¡¯t be as simple as only wounding one hand!¡±
Murong Qi Qi flicked. The red muslin flew to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ankle.
¡°Ah!¡±
Murong Qing Lian screamed in pain. Her whole foot was covered with blood.
¡°You!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t keep her words, Jia Lan was very angry. However, Murong Qi Qi stopped at this time.
¡°Well! Bengong2 also vented bengong¡¯s anger. Now my spirit and mood are good! It¡¯s still blood that is good looking. Red has the atmosphere of the New Year! Where¡¯s the referee? Is it not time to announce the results?! Bengong is hungry and still needs to go back to have dinner!¡±
The three previouspetitions, irrespective of their oues, had been very uplicated. However, thispetition truly saw blood. This made the people gain a new understanding of princess Zhao Yang.
¡°I announce that Bei Zhou won!¡±
When the voice of the referee spread to everyone¡¯s ears, the citizens of Bei Zhou cheered.
¡°We won! We won!¡±
National pride filled everyone¡¯s heart. They won. After twenty-five years, Bei Zhou finally became the winner of the tournament of the four countries. This was the best news they¡¯ve heard in this winter!
Seeing everyone so happy, Murong Qi Qi also rxed. She stepped down thedder and went to Feng Cang who had been waiting for her.
¡°Wangye,3 we won!¡±
Feng Cang nodded. He gently put the fox-furred coat on her.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
They¡¯d just taken two steps, when Murong Qi Qi stopped. She turned her head and looked at the tform. Jin Yu was bandaging Jia Lan and Murong Qing Lian also had been carried down to receive treatment. Although she had won, but letting Murong Qing Lian off made a breath choke in her heart, which she was unable to quell. Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi threw the red muslin in her hand on the ground.
¡°Su Mei, burn it! Stained with a bitch¡¯s blood, this red muslin has been dirtied!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Su Mei immediately picked up the red muslin, went to a side and burned it to ashes.
When that ¡®bitch¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi spread to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ears, she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Fortunately, today there was Jia Lan who reached out a helping hand; otherwise, she would¡¯ve surely died on the tform.
When the word ¡®bitch¡¯ reached Jia Lan¡¯s ears, he only chuckled. This woman really holds a grudge! Today, he saved Murong Qing Lian. Presumably, next time when he sees her (MQQ), she wouldn¡¯t give him a good expression anymore!
¡°Sir, doesn¡¯t it hurt? You can still actuallyugh!¡±
Jin Yu carefully applied medicine for Jia Lan.
¡°That woman is truly powerful. She could hurt someone with just a red muslin. Really couldn¡¯t see thating from her looks! She is way more powerful than Murong Qing Lian! I really feel that today, sir asked for it yourself! For someone useless, you hurt yourself like this. Sir Jia Lan, you are beginning to have more and more self-harm tendencies!¡±
¡°Jin Yu, I¡¯m already hurt. You still taking joy in my cmity and delight in my disaster. Don¡¯t you know how to feel a bit for me?! See how protective Murong Qi Qi¡¯s maids are towards her. Why is it that you¡¯ve followed me for so long and still act like a thankless wretch?¡±
¡°Is it still not obvious how I feel for sir? Although my words are hard to the ears, but I¡¯m right, ah! I feel that sir cares too much about your friendship with sir Misha. Today, sir was humiliated. I¡¯m very furious, but I know that this has nothing to do with Murong Qi Qi. The one who humiliated sir is sir yourself!¡±
Jin Yu was not old, but every word he said was very logical. Jia Lan couldn¡¯t help himself from shaking his head. His gaze had been following Murong Qi Qi¡¯s back. Only when she disappeared, did he retrieve his gaze back.
Seeing his bandaged right hand, in Jia Lan¡¯s mind emerged that expression of Murong Qi Qi with the faint smile. Ai, Misha, this time, you brought a big cmity to me! I really hope that Murong Qing Lian is not the one you¡¯re looking for. If she truly isn¡¯t, then I would personally deliver her to that woman...
Jia Lan¡¯s hand needed some time to recover and Murong Qing Lian had nowhere to go.
The doctor hadn¡¯t even touched her yet, when she screamed that it was painful. Although the dislocated ankles and knees had been put back in ce, but those fine wounds on her body felt as if they were needles piercing into her body. Especially that left foot that Murong Qi Qi had sent special greetings to just now. On all her skin, there wasn¡¯t a single intact ce. There were crisscross wounds everywhere.
¡°Doctor, how is she?¡±
Now, from the four contestants of Xi Qi, only Li Yun Qing was fine. Now, he had be the one to bear the responsibilities.
¡°It¡¯s only injury of the skin. No harm.¡±
The doctor applied medicine for Murong Qing Lian; however, some ces were too intimate. So, he could only wait till Murong Qing Lian went back and did it herself.
Now, the pitiful Murong Qing Lian¡¯s whole body would hurt very much every time she moved. Although it was the same as how that doctor said, that it was injury of the skin, but her whole body was full of fine thread-like wounds, burning with pain. When had ever she been so bitterly in pain before?!
It was all because of that damned Murong Qi Qi! This bitch actually wanted to kill her today! If it wasn¡¯t because Jia Lan reached out a helping hand, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve definitely tortured her, bit by bit, till she died!
Thinking back about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s vicious tactics, Murong Qing Lian was full of hatred. She actually was defeated by Murong Qi Qi, that rubbish. When she goes back, she doesn¡¯t know what kind of joke she would be in front of others. No! She must find Murong Qi Qi to recover this humiliation! Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have the face to go back to Xi Qi!
Although she hated Murong Qi Qi, but Murong Qing Lian also knew that if it wasn¡¯t because Jia Lan had saved her, she would¡¯ve definitely died on the tform. So, although her whole body was in pain, she limped over to Jia Lan. She cupped her fists and thanked Jia Lan.
¡°No need to thank me. I only did it for someone else.¡±
Jia Lan was toozy to look at the woman in front of him. While touching his bandaged arm, he walked away with Jin Yu from Murong Qing Lian.
¡°No matter what, I still thank you!¡±
Murong Qing Lian bowed heavily towards Jia Lan¡¯s back.
¡°Oh...¡±
Jia Lanughed and turned his head to look at the sincere Murong Qing Lian.
¡°You were lucky! It¡¯s only this one time! However, I still need to remind you, you are not someone who could afford to offend Murong Qi Qi. You also couldn¡¯t win her at fighting. It¡¯s better to do as she said. Live your life while behaving! This is my advice to you!¡±
After leaving these words, Jia Lan left without turning back.
Seeing Jia Lan treat her like this, Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t help herself from making a ¡®bah¡¯ sound of contempt.
At this time, Murong Qing Lian hadpletely forgotten how she previously begged Jia Lan to save her. She¡¯d also forgotten that Jia Lan got injured because of saving her. Her small self-esteem was deeply angered by thatst sentence of Jia Lan. What did that person mean? Howe he made it sound like he¡¯s someone on the same boat as Murong Qi Qi!
¡°What kind of thing is he to dare to teach me?!¡±
Murong Qing Lian humphed once. The little bit of gratitude in her heart for Jia Lan was gone.
Inside the carriage, Murong Qi Qi was curled up in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She was quiet like a well-behaved cat, making Feng Cang somewhat unable to adapt to it.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hand went through Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smooth, ck hair. His lips gently fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead.
¡°Are you still thinking about Murong Qing Lian? How about I find someone to catch her back?¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Murong Qi Qi leanedzily on Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder. Her fingers yed with the hair of Feng Cang which was hanging on his shoulder. However, her eyes shed astuteness.
¡°I was just thinking about who Jia Lan is. What rtion does he have with Murong Qing Lian? Wangye, I¡¯ve been feeling that the tests Dong Lu gave in this tournament were a bit odd. There¡¯s certainly a mastermind who gave them his support. It¡¯s just, I don¡¯t know if that mastermind is Jia Lan or not...¡±
¡°Jia Lan is someone from Peni Ind.¡±
Chapter 104 Don’t want to answer, then I’ll kiss you (2)
Chapter 104 Don¡¯t want to answer, then I¡¯ll kiss you (2)
Feng Cang¡¯s answer was somewhat surprising to Murong Qi Qi, but after thinking about it, it sounded reasonable. It¡¯s just, didn¡¯t Peni Ind always not intervene in the matters of the maind? Why did they help Dong Lu this time?
Seeing Murong Qi Qi go into the stage of thinking, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help himself from kissing her forehead again.
¡°Alright! Qing Qing, don¡¯t think about this anymore. I already let someone go investigate! You worked so hard today; you need to rest well and rx. There¡¯s a hot spring here. Do you want to go take a bath in the hot spring?¡±
¡°Hot spring?¡±
The Murong Qi Qi who was tangled up in the matters of Jia Lan, immediately sat up after hearing about a hot spring. From her eyes, shed a light as dazzling as the sun.
¡°Wangye,1 there¡¯s really a hot spring? Where? Why didn¡¯t you tell me sooner?! I like hot springs the most!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi liked it, Feng Cang was also happy. Especially after seeing her joyful like a small deer, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
¡°I¡¯ll take you tonight! The condition is that you obediently eat well!¡±
The hot spring Feng Cang talked about was located at the Fengyu vi outside of Yongzhou City. This was part of Feng Cang¡¯s territory and also his holiday vi. When they arrived at Fengyu vi, Murong Qi Qi became mesmerized by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
From the distance, it looked like a red cloud. After getting closer, she found out that it¡¯s a garden full of red plum blossms.
¡°My mother loved red plum blossoms. So, father nted this ce full of red plums. Every winter, father would bring mother here to rx and take a bath in the hot spring. Only when it¡¯s nearly the thirtieth of December, under the repeated urgings of grandmother and uncle, would they return back to the capital.¡±
Feng Cang walked hand in hand with Murong Qi Qi in the red plum garden.
Hearing Feng Cang talk about the story of his parents, Murong Qi Qi could only imagine how in love great general Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue were. It was said that princess Ming Yue was known to be the world¡¯s number one beauty. Feng Xie also had the title of the world¡¯s number one handsome man. They were the ideal couple and attracted the envy of others.
Feng Xie and Wanyan Lie were friends who¡¯d yed together since young. Their rtionship were closer than real brothers. Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were also childhood sweethearts. The two had been engaged since they were very young. Wanyan Ming Yue was just over sixteen when she married Feng Xie. A year after bing his bride, she gave birth to Feng Cang.
Don¡¯t know if it was the scene that recalled memories or because at his side was the woman he loves, but something had evoked Feng Cang¡¯s memories of his parents. Today, Feng Cang said a lot of things about Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say a word and only listened quietly to Feng Cang¡¯s memories of the past.
¡°After father and mother passed away, I didn¡¯t want toe here again. I was afraid that after seeing this garden full of red plum blossoms, I would think back about the happy past. So, I let people seal off the vi. Only now, when I nned to bring you here, did I let people clean it up.¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi understood why Feng Cang didn¡¯t bring her before. This Fengyu vi had been sealed by Feng Cang for sixteen years. This was the first time it had weed its owner after so long.
¡°Wangye, I will stay with you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi buried her head in Feng Cang¡¯s chest. Her arms were tightly around Feng Cang¡¯s narrow waist.
¡°Wangye, I will stay with you in the ce of great general and princess for this whole lifetime!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®promise¡¯ let Feng Cang¡¯s eyes get a bit wet. His big hand tapped Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose.
¡°It wouldn¡¯t take long any longer before you also call them father and mother. Qing Qing,e with me. I¡¯ll take you to a ce.¡±
The ce Feng Cang mentioned was a solitary grave site at the back of Fengyu vi.
¡°My father¡¯s bones are still here, but my mother had been burned into ashes. Although uncle wanted to bury my parents together in the imperial tomb, but I insisted on burying them here. This was the ce father and mother liked the most. Inside are my father¡¯s bones and my mother¡¯s dress. It¡¯s just, in here should be three people. My unborn little sister should also be here. At that time, she was only seven months and still in my mother¡¯s belly. She was burned to ashes together with mother.¡±
Murong Qi Qi was a bit surprised and also happy that Feng Cang brought her to visit the great general and princess Ming Yue. Could this be considered him taking her to meet his parents?
Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s grave had clearly been cleaned. There were a variety of fruits, barbecue and pork legs. In front of the cemetery were three yellow incense sticks. The smoke followed the wind. Around the entire grave was ayer of a light smell.
¡°Father, mother, this is my wife and also your future daughter-inw.¡±
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi tightly while introducing his beloved woman to Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°Her name is Murong Qi Qi. She is the woman I found after searching for a long time. I love her. From the first time I set eyes on her, I fell in love with her. I love everything about her more than I love myself. Today, I specifically brought her here to see father and mother. I believe you will also like her!¡±
¡°This year, I¡¯ll stay at Fengyu vi to spend the new year with you. When we go back to the capital, we¡¯ll hold the wedding. In my whole life, I would only have her as wife. I would love, protect and pamper her like how father loved mother! We will definitely lead a happy life, have children, grow old together and never leave or betray each other!¡±
Murong Qi Qi got tears because of Feng Cang¡¯s words. He really took her here to ¡®see his parents¡¯. This man¡¯s mind is so delicate; how could she not love him?!
¡°Wangye...¡±
Murong Qi Qi quietly leaned against Feng Cang and looked at the vigorous characters on the tombstone. In her heart, she quietly made a promise: ¡°General, princess, I would love wangye in your stead. Rest in peace.¡±
Fengyu vi¡¯s open hot spring emitted hot air. The temperature was moderate. In this winter night, it gave infinite warmth. Although this was an open hot spring, but it had been divided into two parts; one for men, one for women.
Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei and Su Yue were at one side. Feng Cang, Wanyan Kang and Jin Mo were at the other side.
Wanyan Kang put his ear against the wall and listened to the sounds from the other side. However, Jin Mo pulled him back with his other ear.
¡°Hey, hey, Jin Mo, what are you doing?!¡±
¡°Fifth highness, can you act like a gentleman?¡±
Jin Mo scoffed a bit after seeing Wanyan Kang¡¯s behavior. No matter what, listening against the wall like a woman, would be looked down on.
Seeing Jin Mo so serious, Wanyan Kang also scoffed.
¡°I don¡¯t believe that cousin brother doesn¡¯t have any other thoughts, right, cousin brother?! Don¡¯t you want to go to the other side to take a look at cousin-inw, ah?¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t speak. His ck hair was let loose in the water like ck seaweed, making volts in the water. That exceptionally, devilishly beautiful face was even more mesmerizing in the hazy mist.
¡°Alright! You remained silent, I will take it as if you agreed. Jin Mo, don¡¯t be so serious. You haven¡¯t meet a woman you love yet. If you meet one, you would be more tempted than me.¡±
Towards Wanyan Kang¡¯s words, Jin Mo once again snorted disdainfully. In the end, he closed his eyes and ignored Wanyan Kang. He didn¡¯t want a woman! What he pursuits is the highest medical skills! How could he be the same as thesemoners?!
At the women¡¯s side, Su Mei and Su Yue left after soaking for a while, leaving Murong Qi Qi to lean quietly at the shore. The mist and water of the hot spring covered her neck and hid all the other parts.
Sofortable! Since no one was here, Murong Qi Qi took off the Water Moon Mirror. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm water temperature. It seemed as though it had been a long time since she wasfortable like this.
This time, the fact that Bei Zhou had gotten first ce at the tournament of the four countries made her finally relieved. She hoped that when she returns to the capital, the empress dowager wouldn¡¯t continue to make trouble for her. She¡¯d already achieved the request Dongfang Lan made...
As Murong Qi Qi was rxing with closed eyes, suddenly she heard some footsteps. Murong Qi Qi opened her eyes. She silently pulled the robe from the hanger at the shore and wore it. Just when she wrapped herself in it, a person in ck appeared in front of her.
This man had a doll mask on. A pink and white doll mask. The red mouth smiled very sweetly. At both cheeks of the doll were a touch of blush. Where the eyes should be, were two ck holes. A pair of astute eyes were inside it.
¡°Who are you? Why are you dressed like that and deceiving people?¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at the other party. Two silver threads appeared in her hand.
The person in ck looked somewhat surprised after intruding the hot spring. When he saw that face of Murong Qi Qi, he stood there, unable to move.
¡°Ming Yue...,¡± the person in ck softly said. His voice was hoarse and slightly trembling as if he was suppressing his emotions.
¡°What did you say?¡±
Murong Qi Qi thought she heard the two words ¡®Ming Yue¡¯, but she wasn¡¯t sure. When she looked again, the person in ck had recovered hisposure. He looked deeply at Murong Qi Qi once. Then he turned and jumped into the bushes.
¡°Miss, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Su Yue, who¡¯d already dressed, came over. When Murong Qi Qi looked again, the person in ck was gone.
¡°There¡¯s a stranger here!¡±
Murong Qi Qi pointed in the direction the person in ck had disappeared.
The moment she heard a stranger had broken in, Su Yue immediately rushed over there. Su Mei also heard the noise. After hearing themotion at the women¡¯s side, the men also found out that a person in ck had appeared. Feng Cang quickly got dressed and rushed to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side.
¡°Qing Qing, are you alright?!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice returned Murong Qi Qi to sanity. She quickly picked up the Water Moon Mirror and attached it to her face.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m fine and very safe!¡±
After everyone got dressed, Su Yue came back.
¡°That person in ck is very familiar with the vi. This subordinate followed him to the plum garden and then lost sight of him.¡±
Su Yue was a bit upset. She let the person in ck escape under her eyes. Truly a dereliction of one¡¯s duty.
The moment he heard from Su Yue that the other party was very familiar with the vi, Feng Cang¡¯s expression sank. He immediately summoned Fengyu vi¡¯s housekeeper and let the whole vi be searched. However, they searched for a whole night, but they didn¡¯t find a single sign of the person in ck. This matter caused suspense.
¡°Who is he?¡±
Murong Qi Qi bit her lips and recalled that person¡¯s stature and then painted out that man¡¯s appearance. When Feng Cang saw the doll face on the painting, Feng Cang was surprised.
¡°This is a powder doll mask that father had bought for me when I was a child!¡±
Hearing that, the housekeeper of Fengyu vi immediately went to the study to search. He found that the only thing missing was a doll mask.
It seemed that this person was very familiar with Fengyu vi! Who is he? Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t think of anyone. Feng Cang also couldn¡¯t think of anyone. The whole vi had been turned over, but there were no signs of that person in ck. Feng Cang could only let people strengthen the patrol.
After this, the person in ck didn¡¯t appear again. It was like he had evaporated from the world and never appeared again.
Murong Qi Qi constantly remembered everything about that person in ck. She remembered he¡¯d said the phrase ¡®Ming Yue¡¯. What does this Ming Yue mean? Is it princess Ming Yue? It¡¯s just, princess Ming Yue had already passed away for so many years; why would this person use this name with such deep feelings to call her? Could this person in ck be a follower of princess Ming Yue?
These questions had been hovering in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind. Before finding the answers to these questions, she won¡¯t tell Feng Cang about this. If the person in ckes again, she would catch him and let him make all of these clear!
Finally, the 30th of December arrived. This year, because of the tournament of the four countries, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were able to spend the new year at Fengyu vi. To be able to spend the new year with Feng Cang, made Murong Qi Qi very happy. Presumably, the annual lively pce banquet and the cumbersome court etiquette just couldn¡¯tpare to spending time with your beloved one.
30th of December here refers to the Chinese lunar calendar. In the Gregorian calendar, it¡¯s somewhere between the end of January and the beginning of February
Beside Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, there were also Su Yue, Wanyan Kang, Jin Mo, Ruyi and Jixiang present.
On the night of the 30th of December, Feng Cang announced that everyone at Fengyu vi, regardless their status, would not be going home before getting drunk. This made the people who looked after Fengyu vi very happy. Wanyan Kang held a wine gourd and drunk wine with Ruyi and Jin Mo. Su Mei, Su Yue and Ji Xiang, these three young girls, were chatting at one side. Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qiid on the heated brick bed and lookedughingly at the others.
¡°Wangye!¡±
Fengyu vi¡¯s housekeeper smilingly went to Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi while carrying wine.
¡°This little one, as the representative of the people from Fengyu vi, toasts to wangye and wangfei.2 I wish wangye and wangfei forever love and be together for hundred of years!¡±
¡°Good!¡±
The housekeeper¡¯s words made the smile on Feng Cang¡¯s face be wider. He raised his head and poured the cup of wine into his mouth.
¡°Reward everyone a half month of sry!¡±
¡°Thanking wangye! Thanking wangye!¡±
The moment they heard that there was a reward and also half a month¡¯s sry, it made those people of Fengyu vi so happy, they all toasted to Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
Although they only spent a few days together, but these people deeply felt the harmony of Murong Qi Qi.
Having a good-tempered and easy-to-get-along-with wangfei was the best thing for these people. Although Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t being here often, but looking at the two masters, they felt that every winter they would be staying at Fengyu vi. If the master was good-tempered, then it was easy to serve, making the people save a lot of troubles.
¡°Wangye, it¡¯s time!¡±
Finally, midnight arrived. Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi, and went outside, escorted by the crowd. Fengyu vi was lit up brightly. When Feng Cang came out, the people who¡¯d already prepared the fireworks, lit them up.
¡®Boom!¡¯
Beautiful fireworks bloomed in the quiet night. It was a light colored brush and painted the dark sky with vivid colors.
¡®Boom, boom, boom!¡¯
Those fireworks opened as if it was a flower festival and met the arrival of the new year!
¡°So beautiful! Miss, look, that one is so beautiful!¡±
Su Mei liked to be lively and liked beautiful fireworks even more. Wanyan Kang came to her side and gave her two fireworks.
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Thanks!¡±
With one firework in the left hand and one in the right hand, Su Mei danced in the night.
¡°Beautiful! Oh...,¡± Wanyan Kang roared. He also took two fireworks and danced together with Su Mei. With fireworks as weapon, the two ¡®fought¡¯ in the courtyard. The two ¡®fought¡¯ busily. The fireworks in their hands emitted a dazzling light. The light enveloped the two of them, making them appear even more beautiful.
¡°So beautiful! Su Yue, go y! Jixiang, Ruyi, you also go y!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s and Wanyan Kang¡¯s liveliness made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood very good. Everyone lit one firework. A group of people holding fireworks began to y in the courtyard.
¡°Miss, it¡¯s time. Make a wish, make a wish! Quickly make a wish!¡±
Su Mei began to shout. Murong Qi Qi quickly put her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish. After she told Buddha all her wishes, Murong Qi Qi opened her eyes. She discovered a devilishly beautiful face had appeared in front of her.
¡°Wangye...¡±
¡°Qing Qing, does your new year¡¯s wish include me?¡±
Feng Cang looked forward to hearing the answer, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart for fear that Murong Qi Qi wouldugh at him.
¡°What did you say?¡±
Seeing Feng Cang like that, Murong Qi Qi winked at him flirtatiously and also gave him an ambiguous answer.
The more Murong Qi Qi acted like that, the more anxious Feng Cang got. He simply pulled Murong Qi Qi into his arms and wrapped the two of them in his cloak.
¡°Qing Qing, if you don¡¯t answer me, then I¡¯ll kiss you!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
Inside of the cloak, Feng Cang continued to coax. Just when Feng Cang wrapped the two of them in the cloak and isted them from the others, it attracted the attention of the others.
¡°Cousin brother, what are you doing?¡±
Wanyan Kang asked exaggeratedly. The people beside himughed.
¡°Wangye...¡±
Murong Qi Qi blushed. She didn¡¯t expect that Feng Cang would do something like this in front of so many people.
¡°Qing Qing, answer me or let me kiss you.¡±
Inside the cloak, the heat was very strong. Feng Cang could feel that his face had be hot. However, he didn¡¯t intend to let Murong Qi Qi off so easily.
¡°Answer...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hot breath was getting closer to Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi could feel the hot temperature of Feng Cang¡¯s body. Her face burned. She was just about to answer when Feng Cang¡¯s lips was already on hers.
¡°Qing Qing, I love you...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice had been swallowed by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. The word ¡®love¡¯ was also in his kiss and spread to her heart.
Although this kiss was still not skilled, but Feng Cang was no longer shaky as the first time. His tongue explored the fragrance of her mouth. Not too deep, not too shallow; just right.
Feng Cang pulled the cloak with one hand and blocked the two of them from the others. The other hand held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slim waist, forcing her to get closer to him.
¡°Mm...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips were blooming like flowers and meet the gentleness of Feng Cang. Her toes also gradually left the ground. Outside the cloak, the fireworks continued to fire. Inside the cloak, the two were kissing in full swing.
Only when their surroundings had quietened down, did Feng Cang slowly release Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. This kiss took a long time; so long that Feng Cang had forgotten that outside, there was a crowd watching in fun. When he put down the cloak, Wanyan Kang¡¯s whistle immediately came over.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red, swollen lips told everyone who saw them, exactly what had happened between the two of them inside the cloak. Wanyan Kang shouted in surprise: ¡°Cousin brother is powerful, ah! So long! We waited from this year till next year, you two almost kissed for a year, ah!¡±
The moment she heard Wanyan Kang¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was red like it was on fire. It burned. Her whole body hid in Feng Cang¡¯s arms and she refused to raise her head.
Chapter 105 The woman in the underground (1)
Chapter 105 The woman in the underground (1)
Murong Qi Qi had buried herself in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She wasn¡¯t willing to raise her head. Feng Cang smiled and hugged her. He covered Murong Qi Qi with the cloak. After waiting till everyone left, he lifted her up.
¡°Qing Qing, are you clear about my new year¡¯s wish?¡±
Beneath Feng Cang¡¯s long and narrow eyes, was a burst of spring, making the originally pink face of Murong Qi Qi be even more pinker. She could only look up at the stars in the sky.
Those blinking stars made Murong Qi Qi think about the sky of the night from her past life. It was also so shing and bright. Adopted father, I¡¯ve already found the person I love. Adopted father, I live here very well. Adopted father, I finally understood the meaning of rebirth. It was to let me get true love; to let me meet him...
On the first day of the new year, it was very cold. Because on thest day of the past year, she stayed upte; on the first day of the new year, Murong Qi slept for a long time before waking up.
She had just woken up when Su Mei brought a pot of colorful plum blossoms into her room.
¡°Miss, look, colorful plum blossoms, are they not beautiful? It¡¯s the first time I saw such beautiful plum blossoms!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s words brought Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attention to the pot. Sure enough, it was a small plum tree with red, pink, yellow, blue and white flowers. It was truly rare.
¡°Where did you get it?¡±
Murong Qi Qi sniffed the fragrance of the plum blossoms. Immediately, she took a liking to this pot of plum blossoms.
¡°It¡¯s a monk from the Buddha temple who¡¯d sent it. Last year, wangye1 made people send food and cotton to let them have a good new year. As a matter of fact, this first day of the new year, the monk sent over a pot of plum tree. The person hasn¡¯t left yet. He is in the front plum garden!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡±
Murong Qi Qi got dressed. After cleaning herself up, she went to the plum garden. From far away, she saw a monk wearing a yellow robe with a bent back. He was looking up at the plum flowers.
¡°Master, happy new year!¡±
Murong Qi Qi went over while smiling. Only when the monk turned around, did Murong Qi Qi see his face clearly. This was an old monk. He had white brows, gray beard, a thin stature and an ugly face. On the left of his cheeks was a burn. That burn connected to his neck, making him look a bit frightening. However, he had a pair of gentle andpassionate eyes.
The monk didn¡¯t talk. He only cupped his hands together and bowed at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss, he can¡¯t speak!¡±
Su Mei exined to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I know.¡±
Murong Qi Qi went over to the monk and smiled.
¡°Does master also like plum blossoms? I like the five colored plum blossoms master sent over today very much. Thank you, master!¡±
After hearing Murong Qi Qi say that she likes them, the monk smiled. The smile was pure like the snow on very high mountains. It was full ofpassion that could relieve all living creatures from suffering. The monk cupped his hands once again as in thanking Murong Qi Qi. Then he turned and left the plum garden.
¡°Is master leaving? I¡¯ll send you out!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know why, but she had a particrly good impression about this monk with gentle eyes. Although the monk hadn¡¯t spoken a word, but his eyes seemed like they could look through people.
Murong Qi Qi escorted the monk to the entrance of the vi. Only when the monk with a crooked back disappeared from her sight did she go back inside.
After the door of Fengyu vi closed, the monk staggered. His hand searched for support on a tree. He tried to restrain his emotions for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t hold back his tears. Drop by drop, they fell on his yellow robe.
Ming Yue, is that you? Is it that you couldn¡¯t bear to let me stay alone in this world to suffer; that¡¯s why you sent baby to me? Ming Yue, I found little baby. I found our baby! Ming Yue, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely take good care of baby and also let the world know what truly happened that year to wash away our grievances!
After wiping the tears from his eyes and with excitement, the monk left Fengyu vi while walking, step by step, on the snow.
Since getting the five-colored plum blossoms, Murong Qi Qi would personally take care of it daily.
¡°So beautiful! Really don¡¯t know how that old grandfather cultivated this five-colored plum blossom. He certainly must be someone who loves plums very much. That¡¯s why he was able to put his mind to it and cultivate such a beautiful plum blossom!¡±
¡°Qing Qing, if you like it, how about I send some people to invite the monk over? By then, let the whole vi be nted with five colored plums, so Qing Qing can love them enough, alright?¡±
After Feng Cang said that, he immediately sent people to the Buddha temple. They didn¡¯t expect that the person came back with the news that the monk had passed away.
¡°Passed away...¡±
Hearing this news, Murong Qi Qi was startled. In her heart was a kind of inexplicable mncholy. Not long ago, she saw that old grandfather. Now, the person was no longer alive. Affairs of the world truly are unpredictable.
Murong Qi Qi personally transnted the five-colored plum to Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s grave. A small five colored plum was blooming beautifully.
¡°General and princess would like this plum blossom!¡±
Murong Qi Qi leaned on Feng Cang.
¡°Is it time for us to leave? Wangye, I¡¯ll miss here!¡±
¡°Mm.¡±
Feng Cang softly said: ¡°Uncle¡¯s letter already reminded us several times. If we still don¡¯t leave, presumably, the capital would send people to pick us up.¡±
¡°Wangye, I quite like it here! When it¡¯s winter this year, let¡¯se here again to bathe in the hot spring!¡±
The moment she heard that they should leave, Murong Qi Qi somewhat couldn¡¯t bear to part with this plqce. In her eyes, Fengyu vi was like a utopia. To be able to live here without worries; what a happy thing is that, ah?!
¡°Good!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi liked Fengyu vi, Feng Cang was happy. In the past, he had thought about finding a wife who liked Fengyu vi and live a happy life here like father and mother. Fortunately, God waspassionate and finally sent Murong Qi Qi to his side. Compared to the happiness of now, what do those sufferings of the past matter?!
After staying for two more days, Feng Cang¡¯s group returned to Yongzhou city.
¡°This is the book of Wing Chase Cliff! Guard it well!¡±
Murong Qi Qi handed the book Feng Cang gave her to Tie Xue.
¡°Yes!¡±
Tie Xue smiled. The smile of that scarred face turned a lot gentler.
¡°Did miss see the designs of Fang Jing? What more needs to be improved?¡±
¡°I already marked the ces that needs to be changed. Fang Jing would understand with just one look. Go back and tell Fang Jing that I want to build the most powerful fortress in this world! Tell him not to save money for me! Everything that can be solved with money is not a problem. No need to be fancy and luxurious. Only needs to be strong and durable. In addition, the fire function must be done well. I don¡¯t want my hard built ce of business, in the end, to be burned down by someone.¡±
¡°Good! I would convey miss¡¯s words without a change to Fang Jing. Miss, this is the lease of all the shops in the Nan four states. We picked the best shops for Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang. The other shops, we did as miss instructed. ording to different locations, we used different prices to advertise. Those merchants were very satisfied with our method. Many were willing to continue the cooperation.¡±
¡°Hehe..., Hearing Tie Xue say that, Murong Qi Qiughed.
¡°Naturally, everyone likes earning money. Before, the business of Nan four states was wrapped around Hn family¡¯s hands. Every business was theirs. That was too overbearing. I don¡¯t have so much energy to take care of them. Besides, letting everyone earn money together would promote healthypetition. This is what the road of business should be. Our advantage would certainly be revealed and we will surpass the three other states.
¡°As long as we have the overall situation in hand, I believe that more and more people woulde to do business in the Nan four states. By then, Nan four states would certainly be the most prosperous area out of the sixteen states of You Yun.¡±
Tie Xue admired Murong Qi Qi very much after those words. He didn¡¯t expect that miss had such an exceptional talent in business.
¡°Miss, recently, Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people appeared in Nan four states. It appeared that they were inquiring about our bottom line.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing. Fo Sheng Men won¡¯t touch us. Long Ao Tian and godfather had an agreement. For ten years, Fo Sheng Men won¡¯t set its eyes on our Moyu. However, even if they want to swallow Moyu after five years, it won¡¯t be simple.¡±
¡°But miss and Ming Yue Cheng formed an alliance. If Fo Sheng Men found out it has something to do with Moyu, then wouldn¡¯t Guanghua gongzi¡¯s2 and Moyu¡¯s rtione to light? If they found out it¡¯s miss, then wouldn¡¯t it be dangerous for miss?¡±
Tie Xue was a bit worried about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safety. Miss was the backbone of Moyu. Nothing must happen to her. This was something sir Mozun told him and Wu Qing before dying. They must protect miss well.
¡°Then let out rumors that Guanghua gongzi and Du Xian Er are a pair. Like this, it could be exined clearly. No one would doubt it...¡±
Sure enough, when Nn Xin reported the results to Feng Cang, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes narrowed into a thin line.
¡°So, Guanghua gongzi found Ming Yue Cheng. Then, Guanghua gongzi and Moyu ended Hn family?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Saying it like that, it seems reasonable. Hn Min loved Jue Se Fang¡¯s clothes. Du Xian Er is an expert at poisons. She only needed to put this poison into the clothes and take someone¡¯s life without anyone noticing.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just, this subordinate didn¡¯t expect that Guanghua gongzi and Du Xian Er are lovers. Du Xian Er is the leader of Moyu; Guanghua gongzi always had a positive image. There¡¯s a saying that right and wrong won¡¯t go together. I didn¡¯t think that Guanghua gongzi would choose to be together with Du Xian Er! Is he not afraid that if the world knows about this, then the world would boycott Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai?¡±
Hearing Nn Xin say that, Feng Cang chuckled: ¡°I really admire this Guanghua gongzi. It¡¯s rumored that Guanghua gongzi is the number one gongzi of the world. He could abandon reputation to be together with Du Xian Er; it can seen that the two truly love each other. Besides, although Du Xian Er has many rumors, but it¡¯s never said that Du Xian Er killed the innocents. So, this Du Xian Er is also a good-tempered person. That the two are together is also a perfect match!¡±
¡°Wangye, are you at ease now? Du Xian Er¡¯s love has found anding. Does Wangye not have to worry about how to exin to wangfei3 anymore?¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang was rxed, Nn Xin couldn¡¯t help but tease him.
¡°Hehe...¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t answer. The stone in his heart finally disappeared. The grace Mozun had for saving him; he had promised to help Moyu when Du Xian Er needed it. However, now that Du Xian Er¡¯s feelings finally had someone to rely on, he could be at ease and could be regarded as having an exnation for Mozun.
After staying for a few more days in Yongzhou, Feng Cang finally decided to return to the capital.
The contestants of Dong Lu had already returned to their country. Nan Feng also had long left. Only the contestants of Xi Qi who were injured or needed to rest because of their use of the inner energy. That¡¯s why they stayed at Yongzhou. This time, when Feng Cang returns to the capital, Longze Jing Tian decided to follow him. Returning to the capital to participate in the wedding of Feng Cang and Murong qi Qi. After that, go back to Xi Qi with Shangguan Wu Ji.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi spent the new year at Fengyu vi. They didn¡¯t bring Wanyan Bao Zhu. Feng Cang didn¡¯t like a person not of interest to influence his and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood. He simply left Wanyan Bao Zhu in Yongzhou.
Originally, it should be a sad thing, but Wanyan Bao Zhu was very happy. Every day, she ran to Xi Qi¡¯s station to see Longze Jing Tian. Longze Jing couldn¡¯t make heads or tails about this Bei Zhou¡¯s princess. However, they were on her territory, so it wouldn¡¯t be right to refuse. He treated her not cold nor warm, but this attitude didn¡¯t make Wanyan Bao Zhu run away. She still appeared every day to enquire solicitously about Longze Jing Tian¡¯s well-being.
Now that Longze Jing Tian wanted to follow them to Yan Capital, Wanyan Bao Zhu was the most happiest person. Before, she was worried about how to persuade Wanyan Lie to promise her to Longze Jing Tian. Now, the opportunity presented itself to her.
Wanyan Bao Zhu was happy but Murong Qing Lian wasn¡¯t. Although the wounds on her body have closed and they also didn¡¯t hurt that much anymore, but at her side appeared Wanyan Bao Zhu, this infatuated flower, making her mood very bad.
Because she had hurt her left foot and needed to rest, she wasn¡¯t able to be at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s side, giving Wanyan Bao Zhu an opportunity to be like an infatuated flower at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s side. This was most unbearable for Murong Qing Lian.
Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t afford to offend Wanyan Bao Zhu because she¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s princess. However, the fire in her heart couldn¡¯t be extinguished. asionally, she would say some words to anger Wanyan Bao Zhu. However, the other party used the princess¡¯s status to oppress her from time to time. Plus, the fact that Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t protect her so much like before, made Murong Qing Lian lose a lot of tears in secret.
All the way, Murong Qing Lian spent her days sullenly. She wished she could find an opportunity to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu, but it was only limited to her imaginations with no way to carry it out. In contrast to Murong Qing Lian, Bai Yi Yue got the care of Murong Qi Qi. Her originally consumed inner energy had been restored in a short period of time.
When she heard this news, Murong Qing Lian once again greeted all of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ancestors from eighteen generations back. Obviously, she (MQL) is her (MQQ) little sister, why did she (MQQ) treat outsiders better than her (MQL)? Truly a bitch!
Greeting the ancestors: cursing at someone by cursing her/his family
However, she could only think about those words. After being ¡®taken care¡¯ of by Murong Qi Qi at the tournament of the four countries, now whenever Murong Qing Lian sees Murong Qi Qi, she would shiver through her whole body.
Jia Lan already went back to Dong Lu. On this road, there¡¯s no one who¡¯d protect her. If Murong Qi Qi wanted to kill her, then she would die. So, although Murong Qing Lian hated Murong Qi Qi very much and wished that she could take off her (MQQ) head to kick it as a ball, but she was still very careful. She was worried that her actions would provoke Murong Qi Qi and bring fatal disaster to herself.
When they arrived at Yan Capital, the Lantern Festival had already passed.
The Lantern Festival or the Spring Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisr Chinese calendar (source Wikipedia)
Bei Zhou had gotten the first ce in the tournament of the four countries. This news spread throughout all streets of entire Bei Zhou during the new year. For a time, the citizens were very enthusiastic and patriotic. They were very excited and it hadn¡¯t diminished even after the new year ended.
When Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi returned to the wangfu4 and had just entered, they heard a burst of thunderous apuse. Feng Qi and Feng Yu led the people of the wangfu toe wee their wangye and wangfei.
¡°Wangye, the emperor is waiting for you toe back!¡±
Murong Qi Qi gave Feng Cang a gentle smile. Feng Cang nodded and followed the person who came to fetch him to the pce.
After entering the imperial study, Feng Cang was about to bow when he was stopped by Wanyan Lie. He was given a seat. Bei Zhou¡¯s win also let Wanyan Lie, this emperor, smile a lot more. He was very happy. Finally, they got the first ce in his hands. This is supreme glory, ah!
Listening to Feng Cang describe the tournament in detail, Wanyan Lie nodded and was full of smiles.
¡°The way zhen5 sees it, this princess Zhao Yang brings luck to you! Ever since she came, the whole thing went smoothly. It seems that she truly is a lucky star.¡±
Wanyan Lie praised Feng Cang, and he (FC) only smiled: ¡°It¡¯s all uncle¡¯s great blessing!¡±
These words made Wanyan Lie extremely happy. He stroked his beard and finally went to the main subject.
¡°Zhen called you here to tell you that your day has been selected! It¡¯s the twenty-eight of the first month! This is the best day!¡±
Seeing that Wanyan Lie summoned him for this, Feng Cang immediately stood up and bowed at Wanyan Lie.
¡°Nephew thanks uncle! Thanks uncle!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s facial features clearly revealed his happiness and excitement. Wanyan Lieughed after seeing that.
¡°Zhen knew you would like it! That¡¯s why zhen let people find a day earlier to let you be able to hold the beauty sooner! Haha, look at you, it¡¯s not like this is the first time you marry. You are actually happy like this. It seems that princess Zhao Yang is truly to your taste, ah! Hahaha! So good, so good!¡±
¡°Come, try the new pastry the pce made. It¡¯s called Crisp Plum. You would certainly like it.¡±
Wanyan Lie let people serve tea and snacks. While they drank tea and ate snacks, he talked with Feng Cang about the wedding. Feng Cang repeatedly nodded.
Feng Cang stayed for a while longer. Only after he ate a few pieces of the new pastry from the pce and drank some tea, did Wanyan Lie let him go.
After Feng Cang left, the smile of Wanyan Lie¡¯s face slowly faded. In the end, it turned gloomy.
¡°Jing De, arrange. Zhen wants to go to Long Autumn (Chanqui) pce!¡±
Long Autumn pce was the ce where the empress resided. However, Wanyan Lie¡¯s empress didn¡¯t live there. Instead, this was the ce where Wanyan Lie¡¯s favorite consorts lived. After counting, there had been a total of eight imperial noble consorts. However, they had all died young. Now, the one living here was Wanyan Lie¡¯s new favorite. Bei Zhou¡¯s ninth imperial noble consort, Yue Lan Zhi.
The moment she heard that the emperor woulde and she should get prepared, Yue Lan Zhi shivered. Theb in her hand fell onto the ground.
Chapter 106 The woman in the underground (2)
Chapter 106 The woman in the underground (2)
What should she do? He¡¯sing! The moment she thought of those perverted things, Yue Lan Zhi felt fear. It¡¯s obviously still during the daytime, so why does he want toe now? Could it be that he doesn¡¯t have to deal with state affairs today? What is heing here for...?
¡°Niangniang1, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Chun Xing, the pce maid approached her. Seeing that Yue Lan Zhi was shivering through her whole body, she wanted to call people here, but was stopped by Yue Lan Zhi.
¡°Chun Xing, bengong2 is fine.¡±
¡°Niangniang, is it that you don¡¯t like the emperoring here?¡±
Chun Xing looked around and saw that there was no one else here, but she still whispered that sentence. Although Chun Xin was a new pce maid, but after staying for a few days in Long Autumn pce, she could see that something was strange was going on here.
It seemed that every time the emperor wanted toe, niangniang would be afraid. Besides, whenever Yue Lan Zhi saw Wanyan Lie, she was like a mouse who saw a cat.
Once, Chun Xing saw Wanyan Lie smile at Yue Lan Zhi. Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s face immediately paled from fear. Although she was surprised that this consort who was seen as the favorite consort in the eyes of others, was someone like this, Chun Xing was no fool. She knew the rule of this pce very well. So, she firmly closed her mouth and didn¡¯t say anything. Now, it appeared that imperial noble consort wasn¡¯t living as brightly as outsiders believed.
Hearing Chun Xing mention Wanyan Lie, Yue Lan Zhi shivered. It was not only that she didn¡¯t want him toe; she doesn¡¯t want to see him ever again! This man was simple not a human. He¡¯s a demon!
¡°Chun Xing, don¡¯t talk anymore, otherwise, you and bengong won¡¯t be able to continue living.¡±
Chun Xing was already her sixth maid. Those from the past had all died. Chun Xing was a good person. She saw Chun Xing as her little sister. That¡¯s why she reminded her.
Seeing Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s pale face and her serious expression, Chun Xing nodded: ¡°Niangniang, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t say anything.¡±
¡°Come, dress bengong up. Then bring out that snow clothes. The emperor likes it when I wear white.¡±
Although she was afraid, but Yue Lan Zhi knew she couldn¡¯t escape. She could only endure. Only by making him happy, could her day be good. Besides, her family and tribe were in the hands of Wanyan Lie. Even if she didn¡¯t do it for herself, she needed to do it for her father, mother and little brother.
After Yue Lan Zhi dressed up neatly, a ¡®the emperor has arrived¡¯ was heard. Yue Lan Zhi took a deep breath and smiled in front of the mirror. She then turned and walked out.
¡°Chenqie3 wees the emperor. Long live the emperor for ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand years!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi bowed full of smiles in front of Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie humphed once coldly, waved his sleeves and entered Long Autumn pce.
What¡¯s going on here? The servants of Long Autumn pce were very surprised. Was the emperor in a bad mood today? Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s expression was not one bit good. Wanyan Lie¡¯s mood not being good meant that her day won¡¯t be good either.
¡°Emperor, what¡¯s the matter with you today? Is it that those old things angered you again at court?¡±
After taking a deep breath, Yue Lan Zhi followed behind Wanyan Lie, full of smiles. She let Chun Xing bring the white fungus lotus soup.
¡°Lessen your anger a bit! Don¡¯t lower yourself to their level. Come, try the white fungus lotus soup chenqie personally stewed. Chenqie made it specifically for you!¡±
From beginning to end, Yue Lan Zhi maintained a beautiful smile, making the expression on Wanyan Lie¡¯s face turn slightly better.
¡°Come! Chenqie will feed you!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi carefully blew on a spoonful of white fungus and then brought the spoon to Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth.
¡°Your majesty, have a taste!¡±
¡°Not bad!¡±
After tasting one bite, Wanyan Lie grabbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s hand and pulled her to him. He gestured with his hand. The other people retreated. In the room, there were only Wanyan Lie and Yue Lan Zhi left.
Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s heart beat very fast. Although the grasp made her feel pain, but she didn¡¯t dare to utter a sound. On her face hung a soft smile. She gently asked Wanyan Lie: ¡°Your majesty, what¡¯s the matter? Is there something on Yue er¡¯s4 face? Or is it that Yue er¡¯s make-up isn¡¯t good today?¡±
Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t speak. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s beautiful face. He didn¡¯t move a bit. He maintained this posture about the time of making tea. Wanyan Lie loosened his hand.
¡°Zhen5 previously said to be more noble. Howe you were taught for so long and still haven¡¯t learned it? In the end, you truly came from a low family. No matter how much silver and gold you wear, it couldn¡¯t change the sour and poor aura of your body!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s words were very harsh. Yue Lan Zhi felt that it was very difficult to bear, but she could only endure. After bowing respectfully to Wanyan Lie, Yue Lan Zhi smiled gently: ¡°Chenqie will follow your majesty¡¯s teaching! Chenqie will definitely learn it in the shortest time possible!¡±
¡°Forget it!¡±
Wanyan Lie gestured with his hand.
¡°Wait here. Zhen wants to go down. Reflect well here! If you still can¡¯t learn well, the fates of those previous women will also be your fate!¡±
Wanyan Lie stood up and walked to the bed. He turned the glowing pearl at the head of the bed.
With a squeak, the bed sank down and revealed a dark gateway.
After Wanyan Lie¡¯s yellow figure disappeared in the gateway, Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s legs went soft. She fell paralyzed onto the ground. Fortunately, everything went well today! Fortunately, everything went well today! She hoped that today could go by safely like this! She hoped that after seeing the underground ¡®her¡¯, his mood will get better and that he won¡¯t torture her!
Wanyan Lie stepped on thedder to go down. It was a tunnel. On both sides of the tunnel hung big and small glowing pearls. At the end of the tunnel was a bright spacious hall. In contrast to the cold of the outside, inside the hall was moderate temperature, as if it were spring.
The whole hall was adorned like a boudoir of ady from a great family. Bed, wardrobe, table, chair, dressing table, even the rouge powder on the dressing table were readily avable. If someone had entered the ce by mistake, they would think they¡¯d entered the boudoir of ady. Thisdy seemed to love white. No matter if it was the canopy of the bed or the dresses in the wardrobe, everything was white, making people couldn¡¯t help but think how pure the girl who lives here was.
In the middle of the hall was a white heatable jade bed. It brazed of heath. Unexpectedly, on the bedid a woman in white.
¡°Yue er, big brother hase to visit you!¡±
In contrast to the rude and indifferent behavior of before; this time, Wanyan Lie was gentle and passionate. He came to the bed and held the hand of the woman on the bed. He put her hand on his face.
¡°Yue er, did you miss big brother? Are you happy today? After taking care of the court affairs, big brother came to see you, are you happy?¡±
Wanyan Lie talked to himself. The person on the bed didn¡¯t speak. Her eyes and mouth were closed like she was sleeping. If Murong Qi Qi was here, she would¡¯ve shouted from surprise. Because this woman and her looked seventy percent alike. And the Yue er from Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth was Wanyan Ming Yue, whom everyone thought had died fifteen years ago.
¡°Yue er, today big brother came because big brother has good news to tell you. Cang er is getting married. His bride this time is Xi Qi¡¯s princess. Do you know who? She¡¯s Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, ah! Do you still remember Murong Tai? That year, Feng Xie was defeated at his hands, ah! Now Murong Tai¡¯s daughter has became your daughter inw, how do you feel?¡±
¡°Oh, you definitely won¡¯t be happy. You must hate Murong Tai to death! Because the war-god Feng Xie¡¯s only losing battle was at Murong Tai¡¯s hands. How would you be able to love Murong Qi Qi?! It¡¯s just, Cang er likes this princess Zhao Yang very much. Truly destined, ah! Don¡¯t you think so?¡±
¡°However, you don¡¯t need to worry. Big brother loves our Yue er the most. Big brother can¡¯t bear to see Yue er sad. So, I promise you, this time, Cang er¡¯s bride would also not be able to live past the wedding night, what do you say? Hehehe, big brother likes our Yue er the most! Big brother will certainly help Yue er reach your wish!¡±
At this time, Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor Wanyan Lie was not amiable and easy going like usual. His eyes shed craziness. He grabbed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand like an insane person. He gently kissed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s fingers. His tongue spun on her fingertips. He happily enjoyed this feeling. Only when Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s tight hand was very wet did he put her hand down.
¡°Yue er, till when do you n to sleep, ah?¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s finger touched Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s smooth-like-jade face.
¡°Is it because you have a warm jade bed to protect your body, that¡¯s why you can continue to sleep, ah? Yue er, if you continue like this, big brother will get old... What should I do if you wake up and don¡¯t recognize me anymore? What should I do if you don¡¯t like me anymore? Yue er, wake up, alright?! I beg you!¡±
The just now crazy Wanyan Lieid on the heat-able jade bed. His face was tightly pasted to Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face. He held Wanyan Ming Yue in his arms. Tears fell down his eyes.
¡°I beg you, Yue er, don¡¯t leave big brother alone in this world. Big brother promises you to let you marry Feng Xie. As long as you like it, big brother would support you! Don¡¯t sleep anymore, alright? Big brother loved you for so many years, went along with you for so many years, why don¡¯t you want to open your eyes and look at big brother? Why?¡±
¡°I beg you, wake up! Don¡¯t sleep anymore! I beg you...¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s sad voice was particrly lonely in the hall. No one could see this side of this emperor. It seemed that all his pride fell apart before the sleeping woman on the bed. What was left was only whispers and sobbing.
This time, Wanyan Lie was down for a long time. Yue Lan Zhi nearly fell asleep. When her chin became sore, Yue Lan Zhi opened her eyes in panic. She found out Wanyan Lie with a sinister expression stood in front of her.
¡°What, you became impatient from waiting? You feel asleep? It seems that zhen needs to remind you who your master is!¡±
Not waiting for Yue Lan Zhi to understand, Wanyan Lie tore her clothes open, revealing the pink undergarment inside. Embroidered on it was a pair of mandarin ducks above water. Seeing this pink color and also that pair of loving mandarin ducks, Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes turned red. He rudely pulled off the mandarin ducks undergarment. Wanyan Lie tore the mandarin ducks undergarment into pieces.
¡°Is it that you¡¯re still thinking to live and fly away together with Feng Xie? Is that why you embroidered this pair of mandarin ducks? Mm?¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand fiercely grabbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s neck.
¡°Talk! Are you still thinking about that bastard?¡±
¡°Emp, emperor, it¡¯s you who told me you liked itst time and let me embroider it, ah!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s tears fell. The confinement on her neck made it difficult for her to breath. Her white face became pink because it became difficult to breathe.
¡°Emperor, chenqie didn¡¯t...didn¡¯t lie, ah!¡±
¡°It¡¯s zhen? You are saying that these mandarin ducks you embroidered are you and zhen?¡±
Hearing Yue Lan Zhi say that, Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand slowly loosened. Aside from the disbelief, in his eyes was also surprise.
¡°Yue er, you are saying, this pair of mandarin ducks, one is you, one is zhen?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi nodded frightenedly. She didn¡¯t know which nerve of this man would be touched in tge next moment. If one day she dies at his hands, she wouldn¡¯t be surprised. Those women who lived here before, didn¡¯t they all die at Wanyan Lie¡¯s hands?
¡°Hahahaha! Yue er, you heart does indeed have me! You indeed love me! I also love you, ah. Ming Yue, do you know, when you were born, I held you. The moment you smiled sweetly at me, I fell in love with you. I love you, ah!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi wanted to struggle. Unexpectedly, Wanyan Lie went rudely at her skirt. He pushed her skirt to her waist. Then, swollen feeling stimted Yue Lan Zhi.
¡°Yue er, big brother loves you!¡±
Again...Yue Lan Zhi looked at the roof in despair. Every time, it was like this. Every time, he called another woman¡¯s name and recklessly trampled her (YLZ).
Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s beautiful eyes were open with emptiness. It was not the first time such a thing happened. As long as he desired or wanted it, she had to bear everything he brought every time.
Even when she was pregnant, she had to meet his desire which was like that of a wolf. That¡¯s why... she miscarried her child. That¡¯s why he wasn¡¯t even two months old and had left her! All of that was because of this demon!
Tears of hatred rolled down Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s cheeks onto the ground. Wanyan Lie bit on her body like a mad dog, leaving a trace of purple bite marks.
Yue Lan Zhi seemed to no longer feel pain for those. She had long regarded herself as a walking corpse. In this big pce, there was no one who didn¡¯t envy her. There was no one who wasn¡¯t jealous of her.
Everyone thought she had gotten Wanyan Lie¡¯s love. Although she wasn¡¯t the empress, but she had enjoyed treatment better than the empress. However, who knew that the truth behind it was like this?
This man who was chased by all women of the harem was a demon she wanted to escape from. If she could choose, she would rather live at a remote ce, and not know what pce was, not now who the emperor was, would not enjoy this wealth and also didn¡¯t have to bear this reckless piging.
Sometimes, Yue Lan Zhi truly hated, hated herself for having a simr face to that woman. She hated that woman who was lying in the underground even more. All of this was because of her. That¡¯s why he was so crazy!
It¡¯s because of this face that made her bear such a inhumane treatment. Like now, this man would be crazy for a moment and normal for another moment. Another moment, he would want to kill her because of a little dissatisfaction. Another moment, because of one word from her, he would be happy. This was a demon-like man, making her body, as well as her heart, afraid of him!
¡°Yue er! My Yue er!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand grabbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s hair, forcing her to look at him.
¡°Say! Who do you love the most?! Say, who is the man in your heart? Say! Is it Feng Xie? Mm? Do you love Feng Xie or I? Is it that Feng Xie is more powerful or that I¡¯m the best?¡±
¡°Emperor, chenqie¡¯s heart only has you and loves only you! You¡¯re the best!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi cried while trying to pull a smile. She endured the pain from her scalp and body as she tremblingly answered Wanyan Lie¡¯s questions.
¡°Really? Really?¡±
While talking, Wanyan Lie suddenly stopped. Like the high above everyone emperor, he looked down at Yue Lan Zhi.
¡°Yue er, you need to be obedient and don¡¯t lie! I don¡¯t like the lying Yue er! If you lie, big brother will push you with the big stick, yo!¡±
¡°It¡¯s true, truly, truly there¡¯s only you!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi didn¡¯t dare to struggle and she also couldn¡¯t struggle. Her parents and little brother were in Wanyan Lie¡¯s hands. So many people from the tribe were controlled by Wanyan Lie. If she identally angered him, then what was waiting for her was the same fate as those women before her.
¡°Hahahaha! I¡¯m the best! Yue er finally knows! Yue er finally knows!¡±
Wanyan Lie jerked fiercely. Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s face distorted from pain. The originally beautiful face paled very much from pain. She bit her lips fiercely and dug her fingernails into her skin. In the end, she really couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and fainted.
After a long time, when Yue Lan Zhi woke up, the lights have been already lit. Outside was dark. Inside was bright from the light. Chun Xing was sobbing in a low voice. Her hand twisted the towel in the warm water. She gently rubbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body.
¡°Chun Xing...don¡¯t cry...,¡± Yue Lan Zhi opened her mouth. A hoarse voice came from her throat. Seeing that Yue Lan Zhi had been tortured so much, Chun Xing cried.
¡°Niangniang, you¡¯ve suffered!¡±
¡°Chun Xing, I hurt so much...¡±
Yue Lan Zhi wanted to turn over, but after just moving her lower body, she immediately felt so much pain that sweat appeared on her forehead.
¡°Niangniang, just now the imperial physician came. He said that niangniang needs to rest well and needs to remember...remember not to have intercourse. However, the emperor has always been like this. I¡¯m afraid that niangniang¡¯s body wouldn¡¯t be able to take it...¡±
While Chun Xing was talking, she cried. Yue Lan Zhi struggled to sit up. She grabbed Chun Xing¡¯s hand and covered her (CX) mouth.
¡°Chun Xing, in this pce, you know what should and shouldn¡¯t be said...In the future, don¡¯t let others see. Even if you cry, don¡¯t let other people see...I¡¯m telling you for your own good...¡±
Chun Xing knew that Yue Lan Zhi told her for her own good. She nodded, but her tears still couldn¡¯t help but fall.
The people outside said that her master was too weak to even stand up to the wind and also said that she¡¯s too delicate. That was why she couldn¡¯t keep the prince. How could they know that little prince was killed by his own imperial father! If it wasn¡¯t because Wanyan Lie forced Yue Lan Zhi to have intercourse while being pregnant, how would niangniang miscarry? How would her body still be weak like this?
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to cry anymore!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice.
¡°Chun Xing, if you want to continue living in this pce, the first thing you need to learn is not to cry. Otherwise, if something happens, I may not be able to protect you!¡±
After saying so much in one breath, Yue Lan Zhi couldn¡¯t hold it anymore. She fell on the bed. Her forehead was full of sweat and her face was red. Chun Xing quickly brought the medicine the imperial physician had boiled over. She carefully fed Yue Lan Zhi. After one bowl of medicine, Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s face color turned a bit better. She gestured with her hand and closed her eyes to let Chun Xing retreat.
¡°How is she?¡±
Outside the pce, Wanyan Lie stood solemnly. His image now was opposite of the demon image from before.
¡°Answering emperor, niangniang¡¯s body just had a miscarriage and hasn¡¯t been nursed back to health. Plus, the fact that the blood attacked the heart, that was why she fell ill. This subject has already prescribed medicine. It¡¯s just, niangniang¡¯s body is too weak. Asking...¡±
¡°Mm?¡±
Wanyan Lie turned his face sideways to look at the old imperial physician¡¯s bent back. His voice turned serious.
¡°Say, ask what? Don¡¯t speak only half a sentence and hesitate!¡±
¡°Although emperor favors niangniang, but this subject asks emperor the times of intercourse to not be too frequent; otherwise, it would be difficult for niangniang¡¯s body to recover well...¡±
While talking, the imperial physician lowered his head even more. The sweat on his forehead dripped, drop by drop, onto the ground, leaving small and big watermarks.
After Wanyan Lie listened to that, he was silent for a moment. This made the old imperial physician even more frightened. Although it was winter, but the imperial physician¡¯s official robe was very wet (from sweating). He swallowed and didn¡¯t dare to clean the sweat off his forehead. He feared that with one action, his head would fall off his neck.
Chapter 107 Annoying in the extreme father and son (1)
Chapter 107 Annoying in the extreme father and son (1)
Now, the most favored person in the pce was Yue Lan Zhi. For her, the emperor wished he could get the stars from the sky.
However, the sexual desire Wanyan Lie had was a bit too strong. The old imperial physician didn¡¯t know just how many times, after Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s miscarriage, he had been woken up and dragged to Long Autumn pce to save the life of this imperial noble consort. The old imperial physician saw today¡¯s situation clearly. That bed and white clothes stained with blood had startled him a lot.
If Wanyan Lie continued to ¡®pamper¡¯ like this, he was afraid that this niangniang1 would be like those past niangniang of this Long Autumn pce and won¡¯t live for much longer.
The old imperial physician felt sympathy for Yue Lan Zhi. Not every person could bear an emperor¡¯s love. It was just, he¡¯s also just a subject. Besides, he¡¯s already so old. He should enjoy his old age. If he carelessly said something wrong and angered Wanyan Lie, making his head be separated from his body, then it wouldn¡¯t be worth it.
Wanyan Lie narrowed his eyes. He looked at the old imperial physician¡¯s wrinkles on his face. His (WL) gaze followed along his (physician) chin till the cold sweat on his beard. He finallyughed.
¡°Zhen2 understands. You should just treat her. Zhen promises you that I would not touch her! As long as it¡¯s good for her body and this pce has it, you can go take it! If you heal imperial noble consort, zhen will reward you heavily!¡±
¡°Yes! This subject epts themand!¡±
The old imperial physician sighed from relief. He could be considered to have passed this cmity. He hoped that Yue Lan Zhi would get well and be safe after eating his medicine. He¡¯s already old. He could no longer take these shocks.
After the old imperial physician retreated, Wanyan Lie entered to take a look at Yue Lan Zhi. Under the light, her face was very pale. Her face, as small as a handpalm, didn¡¯t have a single trace of blood. Even the usually soft like flower petals lips were also pale.
The quietness made Yue Lan Zhi feel scared. She opened her eyes. Seeing Wanyan Lie staring at her, she struggled to sit up: ¡°Emp...emperor...¡±
¡°Beloved consort, you lie down!¡±
Wanyan Lie stepped forward and gently let hery back down. He personally covered her with the bedding.
¡°Beloved consort, the imperial physician already said that your body is too weak. You should rest well and nurse yourself back to health. You can rx. What you want, what you need, you just need to say it. Zhen will bring it to you. As long as you get better, zhen is willing to do everything!¡±
¡°Emperor...¡±
¡°Sorry, just now, it was zhen who was wrong! Zhen loves you too much! Every time, zhen couldn¡¯t control myself!¡±
Wanyan Lie held Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s slender and cold hand and put it gently on his face.
¡°It¡¯s because zhen loves you too much, that¡¯s why zhen wants to keep you forever at zhen¡¯s side. Sorry Yue er,3 zhen is truly wrong, zhen truly knows that zhen is wrong!¡±
He¡¯s doing it again and again! Feeling the wet feeling of tears in her hand, Yue Lan Zhi was scared.
Every time, after treating her rudely like that, he would be like this. It was like hepletely changes to someone else. He bes so gentle. In the end, which one is the real him? In the end, what was he truly thinking? Although the time she was at Wanyan Lie¡¯s side was not short, she still couldn¡¯t see through him.
¡°Beloved consort, touch...¡±
Wanyan Lie put Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s hand on his chest to let her feel his heartbeat.
¡°Do you feel it? This whole heart is beating for you. It¡¯s because zhen has you that makes zhen continue to persist. Yue er, you must be fine. If you die, what should zhen do? How could zhen endure the days without you? Zhen will certainly follow you (in death); not being able to be born on the same day, will definitely die on the same day...¡±
¡°Emperor...¡±
Yue Lan Zhi covered Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth.
¡°Emperor, how could you say such words again? You are the one who will live ten thousand, ten thousand years. Chenqie4 is just your ve. Chenqie couldn¡¯t afford to bear what you¡¯re saying...¡±
¡°Yue er, you¡¯ve forgiven zhen, right?¡±
Hearing Yue Lan Zhi open her mouth to speak, Wanyan Lie was exceptionally excited. The eyes looking at her were also like shining crystal tears.
¡°Yue er, do you still love zhen? Like how zhen loves you?¡±
Yue Lan Zhi felt bitter after hearing Wanyan Lie. Why was it like this every time? Could it be that he didn¡¯t realize that acting like this would hurt people very much? Trampling her without the slightest scruple like that, and now he¡¯s crying like this...If he truly and sincerely felt repentance, why did he continue to repeatedly hurt her? Why?
Yue Lan Zhi didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Wanyan Lie¡¯s tears fell on Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s hand.
¡°Zhen knows that Yue er doesn¡¯t want to forgive zhen, no matter what! It was zhen who caused our child to die! Everything is zhen¡¯s fault!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s fists hit his face, making Yue Lan Zhi flustered. She quickly grabbed Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand.
¡°Emperor, chenqie, chenqie has never med you! Your love is chenqie¡¯s blessing! Chenqie was willing...¡±
After hearing this, Wanyan Lie¡¯s hands finally stopped. The raised-up head still had traces of crying, but no more tears fell out.
¡°Yue er, do you mean it? You truly love zhen? You won¡¯t leave zhen?¡±
¡°Emperor, chenqie will stay by your side forever! Until...you¡¯re tired of chenqie!¡±
¡°Hehe...¡±
After hearing this sentence, Wanyan Lie finally exposed the first smile since he¡¯d entered this room. And this gentleughter couldn¡¯t help but let Yue Lan Zhi shudder.
Was it her imagination? Why was Wanyan Lie¡¯sughter not the same this time? There seemed to be something else inside thatughter. It was just, she couldn¡¯t catch what it was.
¡°How would zhen get tired of you?!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s big hand followed the pattern of Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s white undergarment and probed into it. He seized that cloud and didn¡¯t take into ount the coldness of Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body. His big hand grabbed it. The callus of his palm rubbed it until Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s face became pinkish.
¡°Emperor, chenqie really can¡¯t, really...¡±
Yue Lan Zhi shook her head and bit her lips. Her tears came up. She actually forgot that he¡¯s a demon. Just now, she almost indulged herself in the demon¡¯s lies.
¡°Don¡¯t worry! Zhen is just telling you that zhen will love you forever!¡±
Seeing the fear in Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s eyes, Wanyan Lie smiled while retrieving his hand. He once again tucked Yue Lan Zhi in.
¡°Rest well! Recover quickly! Zhen truly loves the wonderful moments with beloved consort! Don¡¯t let zhen wait for too long, yo!¡±
He bent over. Wanyan Lie¡¯s warm lips fell on the corner of Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s eye and sucked the tears away.
¡°Yue er, I love you! Forever...¡±
Hearing that, Yue Lan Zhi closed her eyes. Her tears rolled out again. She knew that those words were not said to her. It was just like what Wanyan Lie had previously said. No matter how much she imitated, she couldn¡¯t bepared to that woman in the underground tunnel. And the ¡®Yue er¡¯ he always called was in fact calling for that woman and not her.
¡°Don¡¯t cry, your tears fell into zhen¡¯s heart. Zhen hurts, really!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s deep and maic voice, coupled with the ambergris fragrance of his body, made people almost indulge in his pampering and gentleness. It was just, it was not the first time that she had fallen for it. This time, she absolutely won¡¯t fall for it!
Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s tears fell, one by one. Every one of them entered Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth and then these bitter tears were fed into her mouth. Acting differently from the rude and arrogant behavior of before, Wanyan Lie¡¯s kiss was now gentle. Careful and full of magic, making people couldn¡¯t help but indulge in that kiss. If it wasn¡¯t because of the pain on her body reminding her, she would¡¯ve been deceived by him once again.
Seeing that Yue Lan Zhi finally stopped crying, Wanyan Lie stood up satisfied. He called Jing De: ¡°Pass zhen¡¯s decree. Long Autumn pce¡¯s imperial noble consort Yue is truly to zhen¡¯s taste. Especially rewarding her with a pair of gold and jade jewelries, a peacock feather...¡±
When all those rewards from Wanyan Lie were brought into Long Autumn pce, Yue Lan Zhi had long turned numb. At first, she was grateful towards these rewards from Wanyan Lie. Now, she¡¯s already so numb to these that she wouldn¡¯t even want to thank the emperor for this grace.
She didn¡¯t know how many times Wanyan Lie used this tactic. The things he rewarded were always more extravagant and more gorgeous than the previous time, but each time, she had been injured even more than the previous time. She really didn¡¯t know when such a life would end. Is it that only when she dies will he let go of her and give her freedom?!
¡°Chenqie thanks the dragon¡¯s (emperor) grace!¡±
Only when Wanyan Lie left Long Autumn pce did Yue Lan Zhi slowly thank for this grace. It was just, Wanyan Lie had already walked far away.
After he came out of Long Autumn pce, Wanyan Lie put his hands behind his back. He walked slowly and was in a very good mood.
¡°Your majesty, the candidate for the recement has been found.¡±
Jing De followed behind Wanyan Lie at the right pace. Not far nor near, just three steps away.
¡°See when you have free time to go take a look.¡±
¡°Oh? So quickly, she was found?¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s voice revealed a trace of interest.
¡°Let¡¯s go, take zhen there!¡±
When Jing De brought a woman in white to Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Lie went wooden for a moment.
¡°Yue er...¡±
He stood up and walked to the girl. He stroked the girl¡¯s smooth face. Wanyan Lie pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
Wanyan Lie was very satisfied with the girl¡¯s appearance. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She looked like Wanyan Ming Yue before she had married. This time, the person Jing De found looked the most like Wanyan Ming Yue. It was just, he didn¡¯t know if the other parts were also like her.
¡°Say something to let zhen listen!¡±
¡°This ve greets emperor!¡±
The girl¡¯s voice was melodious like an oriole of the mountain. However, just with one sentence, Wanyan Lie frowned and let go of her chin.
¡°Not the same! Yue er¡¯s voice is not so giddy. Your voice is too mboyant. It needs to change!¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
The girl had be frightened of Wanyan Lie and quickly nodded.
¡°Mm, you can be considered lovable and clever! Retreat now! Jing De, let people take good care of her. Train her for few more days. When Feng Cang marries, bring her to Long Autumn pce.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Jing De gave a hand gesture. Immediately, two pce maids came and escorted the girl away. When the girl left, Jing De came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side.
¡°Emperor, Murong Qi Qi is a princess from Xi Qi who came for a marriage alliance. If something happens to her on the wedding night, presumably Xi Qi won¡¯t leave the matter like that. Besides, Xi Qi¡¯s people are still in Yan Capital, if...¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
Wanyan Lie raised his hand and interrupted Jing De.
¡°There¡¯s no if. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s title is just a bestowed one. Besides, Feng Cang has those rumors. If she doesn¡¯t die, then people would feel surprised. No need to worry about this. In case if Xi Qi truly doesn¡¯t let the matter go, at worst, zhen will give them one princess!¡±
¡°Your majesty, do you mean princess Bao Zhu?¡±
After remembering that Wanyan Bao Zhu hade to look for Wanyan Lie earlier today, Jing De suddenly understood.
¡°Bao Zhu took a liking to Longze Jing Tian and came to beg zhen. Hehe, she¡¯s finally no longer obsessed with Feng Cang. Zhen is very pleased about this. Zhen had heard about that Longze Jing Tian. He is not bad! In the future, he is certainly Xi Qi¡¯s emperor! If marrying Bao Zhu to him, that means that the future empress of Xi Qi is zhen¡¯s daughter. Zhen can¡¯t be happier! When there¡¯s time, zhen will talk about this matter with Longze Jing Tian and see what his attitude is towards this matter.¡±
¡°Is there still need to ask? Of course, this is what he is seeking, ah! To be able to marry princess Bao Zhu is a blessing he umted in eight lifetimes!¡±
After hearing Jing De¡¯s words, Wanyan Lie was very happy. He only has this one daughter. Before, she was so obsessed with Feng Cang that she forgot what her name and surname were, giving him many headaches. He didn¡¯t expect that after she went to the tournament of the four countries, she took a fancy to Longze Jing Tian. This is very good, ah! As long as it¡¯s not Feng Cang, no matter who she wanted to marry, Wanyan Lie would agree.
¡°If Xi Qi still doesn¡¯t give up, then the responsibility is on Feng Cang and doesn¡¯t have anything to do with zhen. Zhen could just use this opportunity to let Feng Cang lead the army and destroy Xi Qi. This is a perfect excuse. If other countries want to hold someone ountable, then it¡¯s Feng Cang who is in the wrong.¡±
Wanyan Lie thought about everything beautifully. Jing De repeatedly praised him.
¡°Emperor, this is an excellent n, excellent n! No matter what, Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t be able to overturn emperor¡¯s palm! Emperor is wise!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡±
While Wanyan Lieughed, princess Bao Zhu was now at the East pce.
¡°Say, what¡¯s the matter? It¡¯s already sote; why did little sister came to this crown prince¡¯s pce? Could it be to talk about the sibling love between us?!¡±
Wanyan Hong yawned with a look full of sleepiness.
¡°Imperial big brother, Zhao Lang is dead!¡±
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu opened her mouth, it let the fatigue on Wanyan Hong¡¯s face disappear immediately. Hearing her talk about Zhao Lang, Wanyan Hong sat up and let the others retreat. When looking at Wanyan Bao Zhu again, Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes turned darker.
¡°How did little sister found out the rtionship between Zhao Lang and this crown prince?¡±
¡°Because I¡¯m Chou er.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu took down the human skin mask on her face, revealing her original face. Wanyan Hong was startled for a moment. After that, Wanyan Bao Zhu told Wanyan Hong all the things that had happened before Zhao Lang¡¯s death.
¡°Bastards...¡±
When Wanyan Hong heard that in the end, Zhao Lang¡¯s head was cut off and put on a snowman, Wanyan Hong¡¯s fist hit the table.
¡°Bastards! No wonder Zhao Lang didn¡¯t get in contact with this crown prince for so long. The people this crown prince had sent also couldn¡¯t find Zhao Lang. It turned out to be like this!¡±
¡°Your highness the crown prince, please get revenge for Zhao Lang!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu knelt down. Her head knocked on the ground.
¡°Please get revenge for Zhao Lang!¡±
¡°First, stand up to speak!¡±
Wanyan Hong let Wanyan Bao Zhu stand up. His face fixed on hers, making Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart shiver. This man¡¯s gaze was very frightening, filled with a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
Wanyan Bao Zhu was now somewhat uncertain. Did she do the right thing bying to tell Wanyan Hong the truth?!
¡°Put the human skin mask on and let this crown prince take a look.¡±
Wanyan Hong walked step by step to Wanyan Bao Zhu. He watched Wanyan Bao Zhu put the human skin mask on and turn back into Bei Zhou¡¯s princess.
¡°Not bad, not bad!¡±
Wanyan Hong reached out and gently pinched Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face.
¡°Alike, indeed very alike! The skin feels very soft like that of a real human! If you didn¡¯t tell me the truth, this crown prince would¡¯ve thought that you¡¯re truly Wanyan Bao Zhu.¡±
¡°Your highness...¡±
Don¡¯t know why, Wanyan Bao Zhu saw an unbridled desire in Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes, making her feel frightened.
¡°Your highness, Zhao Lang...¡±
¡°Nothing but a dead man, why mention him?! Useless thing; he couldn¡¯t even do such a simple matter well. He deserved to die!¡±
Wanyan Hong interrupted Wanyan Bao Zhu. His gaze swept smilingly over Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s body.
¡°What this crown prince is interested in is you, my beloved little sister...¡±
¡°Your highness!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t understand the matter yet, when she was pulled by his big hand into Wanyan Hong¡¯s embrace. Both of his hands clutched her waist. His strength was big, so that Wanyan Bao Zhu couldn¡¯t break free.
¡°Your highness, I¡¯m not the princess! I¡¯m not...¡±
¡°Hehe, this crown prince knows you¡¯re not! You¡¯re so loud, could it be that you want to call everyone here?! Or is it that you wish to call this crown prince¡¯s imperial father over and let him know that you¡¯re a fake princess? Mm?¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s tone finally let Wanyan Bao Zhu realize that she made a mistakeing here today!
Originally, she wanted to use Wanyan Hong¡¯s hands to get rid of those people she despised. She didn¡¯t expect to have brought herself to Wanyan Hong¡¯s mouth and also let him use this matter to threaten her. Now, no matter how stupid she was, she could see his thoughts from the great desire in his eyes.
¡°What, what do you want?¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu suppressed the trembling in her voice and strived to make herself look calmer.
¡°This crown prince likes it more when you call this crown prince imperial big brother...¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s hand loosened the ends of her waistband.
¡°Be good, let me hear you call this crown prince once!¡±
¡°Imperial, imperial big brother...¡±
One ¡®imperial brother¡¯ made Wanyan Hong excited. His big hand entered and grabbed Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s soft cloud.
¡°This crown prince had tried men, had tried women, but hadn¡¯t tried little sister yet. Hehe, although you¡¯re not this crown prince¡¯s biological little sister, but this face would do...¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu was stunned. Shepletely didn¡¯t think Wanyan Hong would have such perverted thoughts. He simply is not a human!
¡°What? Is it that you want to say this crown prince is not a human?¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to say something, Wanyan Hong already said Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s thoughts out loud.
¡°Of course, this crown prince is not human. This crown prince is the future son of heaven, is the son heaven is proud of, how would this crown prince be an ordinary human?!¡±
¡°Your highness...¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu just called one ¡®your highness¡¯, Wanyan Hong used strength to pinch her cloud, making Wanyan Bao Zhu feel so much pain that her tears almost fell out.
¡°Not well-behaved, oh! This crown prince is your imperial big brother! Be good, call this crown prince imperial big brother! Or, this crown prince will send you to the pce to let imperial father recognize this fake daughter!¡±
¡°Imperial big brother...¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to cry but didn¡¯t have the tears.
In the end, what happened to her? Poop must¡¯ve filled her brain! In order to get rid of Murong Qi Qi, she actually delivered her secret to this person and also suffered insult because of this! If she hadn¡¯t say anything, continued to be princess Bao Zhu and then married Longze Jing Tian, bing his wangfei5 andter bing Xi Qi¡¯s empress, how good would that have been?! Why was she so stupid?!
Chapter 108 Annoying in the extreme father and son (2)
Chapter 108 Annoying in the extreme father and son (2)
Wanyan Bao Zhou had immersed herself in self-me and Wanyan Hong¡¯s mouth repeatedly bit Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s ear, making her scream from pain.
¡°If you continue to not concentrate, this crown prince would punish you!¡±
Wanyan Hong smiled evilly. The coldness in his eyes turned stronger.
¡°Obediently obey this crown prince, little sister. This crown prince would help you achieve your wish! Otherwise, this crown prince wouldn¡¯t mind letting you, this beauty, diminish your fragrance and let the jade perish.¡±
The fragrance diminished and the jade perished: death of a pretty woman; a beauty passed away
Wanyan Hong already said it like this, Wanyan Bao Zhu could no longer escape.
Die or meet Wanyan Hong¡¯s needs. She didn¡¯t want to die. She was timid, afraid and still had hatred that she hadn¡¯t yet avenged. So, she couldn¡¯t die! The thought of revenge made Wanyan Bao Zhu hate Murong Qi Qi even more. All was because of that woman. That woman brought cmity to her! All her humiliation was thanks to Murong Qi Qi. She must avenge this hatred!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Bao Zhu was no longer so reserved. Her body snuggled on Wanyan Hong¡¯s body.
¡°Imperial big brother, what are you saying? I¡¯m so afraid, oh! Don¡¯t scare people like this!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu seemed to have changed into another person. Her seductive expression, coupled with that whiny voice and also those eyes full of temptation, made Wanyan Hong very impulsive.
¡°Coquettish bitches truly are great!¡±
¡°Hateful!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu took the initiative to undress Wanyan Hong. She bit his corbone and gently sucked. Her mouth also made satisfied sounds, making Wanyan Hong¡¯s desire immediately rise.
Wanyan Hong never tasted such a passionate and hot woman like Wanyan Bao Zhu. It was as if her lips had magic and lit a series of mes on his body. Besides, when he saw that face of Wanyan Bao Zhu, Wanyan Hong became even more impulsive. He wished he could have her now, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would be stopped by Wanyan Bao Zhu just when he was about to reach his goal.
¡°Imperial big brother, if I listen to you obediently, would imperial big brother really protect me? However, outside, there are a few people I truly don¡¯t like, what to do now?¡±
¡°This crown prince would help you!¡±
Wanyan Hong panted. This fox, she wanted to press him to death. At this moment, she was still pulling out some unimportant things as if she deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him! Hateful!
When she heard Wanyan Hong¡¯s promise, Wanyan Bao Zhu smiled seductively. However, she didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d angered Wanyan Hong. He recklessly turned her over.
¡°Ah...¡±
When she felt the pain, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s nails dug in her palms. This man is really a pervert! He actually greeted her chrysanthemum!
Chrysanthemum is ng for anus
Wanyan Bao Zhu waspletely speechless! Now, she had a clear understanding of Wanyan Hong¡¯s taste!
If next time, someone asks what the crown prince of the East pce likes, she would answer chrysanthemum without a doubt. However, now she wasn¡¯t in the mood to joke. The paining from there made her couldn¡¯t help but want to escape. However, Wanyan Hong¡¯s hands clutched her tightly, making her unable to move.
¡°Pain!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s tears fell down and Wanyan Hong humphed with satisfaction. The two¡¯s shadows oveid each other. The actions of the figure standing behind was very big. A drop of blood fell on the ground. It was dark and red like a virgin¡¯s blood.
This torture continued till the middle of the night. Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t know how many times she had been bullied. When Wanyan Hong truly left her, her legs went soft and fell on the ground. Pain spread from there making her couldn¡¯t help but exhale from difort. Why was it her who was always injured? Why?
In contrast to Wanyan Bao Zhu, Wanyan Hong was satisfied like never before. He had never experienced such happiness. Whether it was men or women, none of them gave him such a wonderful feeling.
Remembering the soaring on the cloud and sailing on mist feeling which made him feel as if he was flying, Wanyan Hong¡¯s big palm pped Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s butt.
¡°Tsk, tsk, it seems that it was the first time for you! Not bad! This crown prince likes it!¡±
After hearing Wanyan Hong, Wanyan Bao Zhu wished to hit herself on the wall. He actually stared without any scruple at there. She felt very shameful. Wanyan Bao Zhu struggled to stand up. She used her dress to cover herself. Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t object. Instead, he looked smilingly at how she dressed herself as if he was appreciating a piece of art.
When Wanyan Bao Zhu was dressed neatly, Wanyan Hong threw a porcin bottle at her.
¡°When you go back, apply it. It was the first time, so presumably it teared. When you go back, apply some medicine to avoid the pain. Don¡¯t worry, next time, this crown prince wouldn¡¯t be so rude and would definitely be very gentle. This thing, you will like it if you do it more. In the future, you won¡¯t feel pain like today!¡±
There¡¯s still in the future?! Wanyan Bao Zhu truly wanted to die. Originally, she thought there was only one time. She didn¡¯t expect that this pervert still want to do it in the future. Didn¡¯t this mean that she could never escape him?
As if seeing the grayness in Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s eyes, Wanyan Hong went to her. His big hand grabbed her waist. The pain made Wanyan Bao Zhu wake up. Then her eyes met Wanyan Hong¡¯s gloomy eyes.
¡°Don¡¯t think of escaping! Even if you grew wings, this crown prince will break them!¡±
¡°Your high...imperial big brother, I never thought of escaping.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu already had a profound understanding of Wanyan Hong¡¯s personality. Towards such a pervert, she could only go along with him first and wait till she could find an opportunity to escape. Now, she doesn¡¯t have any power to contend him. She could only go along with him.
Seeing that Wanyan Bao Zhu had a clear view of how things are, Wanyan Hong¡¯s mood turned slightly better.
¡°From now on, you should be avable any time this crown prince calls. As long as this crown prince calls you, no matter where you are or what you¡¯re doing, you muste immediately! Do you understand?!¡±
¡°I understand, I understand.¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu carefully nodded. The pain on her waist stimted her. Why did this man like to pinch someone¡¯s waist? Could it be that he didn¡¯t know it would hurt?
¡°Alright, now tell this crown prince, who do you hate? This crown prince will help you get rid of him/her!¡±
Wanyan Hong loosened his hand and tightly hugged Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Say, who provoked this crown prince¡¯s most beloved little sister?¡±
¡°It¡¯s...¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu originally wanted to say Murong Qi Qi; however, now she thought about it, the only thing that could save her was the marriage to Longze Jing Tian. However, even a fool knew what kind of attitude Murong Qing Lian had towards Longze Jing Tian. Let¡¯s first begin with Murong Qing Lian! After clearing all obstacles and marrying Longze Jing Tian, she would finally get away from Wanyan Hong, this pervert!
¡°Xi Qi¡¯s Murong Qing Lian!¡±
¡°Murong Qing Lian? Ah, this crown prince knows. How do you want to do it? Directly kill her or...¡±
Of course, Wanyan Bao Zhu was willing to let Murong Qing Lian die. However, her dying wouldn¡¯t solve many problems. If she could let Wanyan Hong transfer his target to Murong Qing Lian, how great would that be? In that case, she wouldn¡¯t have to bear the pain of the body anymore! And she also can be together with Longze Jing Tian!
After determining her thoughts, Wanyan Bao Zhu snuggled in Wanyan Hong¡¯s arms.
¡°Imperial big brother, Murong Qing Lian is a little pretty beauty. Beautiese from Murong family. Now, Murong Qing Lian is also very famous in Xi Liang (capital of Xi Qi). Why don¡¯t imperial big brother take her into your pce and enjoy her?¡±
How could Wanyan Bao Zhu know that Wanyan Hong had long heard from Zhao Lang that her identity was Murong fu¡¯s second miss Murong Xin Lian. Now, seeing her push her little sister out, Wanyan Hong had of course guessed what she was really thinking.
It was just, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Wanyan Bao Zhu only wanted to let Wanyan Hong get Murong Qing Lian, so he would change his target and let herself get free. How could she know that Wanyan Hong wanted to kill two birds with one stone; to let this pair of sisters stay with him!
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind: pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger
¡°No problem. No matter what you want to do, this crown prince will go along. Who let you be this crown prince¡¯s most beloved little sister?!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu was happy with Wanyan Hong¡¯s words. She thought that she was one step closer to her n. Just as she was secretly feeling proud, a cold spread through her body. She didn¡¯t know when the clothes on her body had been undressed by Wanyan Hong.
¡°Imperial big brother...¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to understand, once again the pain came. The wound from before, once again met a fierce force. She wanted to beg for mercy, but her head was pressed fiercely on the table by Wanyan Hong. Tears made the ck hair, which hung loosely on the table, wet. This demon, this pervert! Wanyan Bao Zhu could only curse Wanyan Hong in her heart! However, all this hate and curses couldn¡¯t change her current situation. She passed this night very sorrowfully...
Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wedding was set on the twenty-eight day of the first month. After Feng Cang came back, this news was spread out. After one night, everyone in the capital knew that demon wang1 was getting married again. Immediately, Yan Capital soared. Everyone was talking about Feng Cang¡¯s ninth bride.
¡°Miss, just now, the bets were flying everywhere outside. Everyone was betting that you wouldn¡¯t live past the wedding night.¡±
Su Yue peeled the walnut and put it in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°The gambling dens once again began to set bets!¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Murong Qi Qi yawnedzily. ¡°Did you get the money that I won before? How much is it?¡±
The moment they heard Murong Qi Qi mention the money, Su Mei and Su Yueughed. Those fools bet that Bei Zhou would lose! Ah, why didn¡¯t they look at what kind of person their miss is?!
¡°The bet multiplied six times! Thirty million! Miss, you didn¡¯t see Wu Qing. When he was counting the money, he couldn¡¯t close his mouth fromughing. He even said that next time, when encountering such a great thing, he also wants to follow along and bet!¡±
In c74, Guanghua gongzi betted five million silver teals that Bei Zhou would win
Su Mei described Wu Qing¡¯s expression. The three girlsughed happily.
¡°Did you found the person who bet ten million? Who is he/she?¡±
¡°It¡¯s someone from Fo Sheng Men.¡±
Su Mei was surprised for a moment and told the result of Wu Qing¡¯s investigation to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Fo Sheng Men?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s beautiful brow frowned. Eventually, it turned back to normal.
¡°It seems that Long Ao Tian has brains. This time, he has earned sixty million!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, ah, miss! Now, everyone at the gambling dens are betting that you won¡¯t live past the wedding night, but Long Ao Tian¡¯s people once again bet ten million, betting that you will survive the wedding night!¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi became interested. She sat up and repeatedly thought about the issues of Long Ao Tian.
¡°Could it be that he knows my identity?¡±
¡°How could that be?! Aside from our people, no one would know miss¡¯s identity. Our own people won¡¯t tell anyone. Long Ao Tian¡¯s news couldn¡¯t be so fast and abundant!¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi felt it was strange. Since, her identity wasn¡¯t exposed, then why would the leader of Fo Sheng Men repeatedly bet on her? Could it be that he predicted or did he bet ording to his mood? Really strange!
She didn¡¯t understand the reason so Murong Qi Qi simply changed into clothes to travel. She left Tingsong building, left wangfu2 and went shopping.
She didn¡¯t know what Feng Cang had been doing these past two days. He was so secretive. He didn¡¯t say and she was toozy to ask. She just happened to have some free time to go shopping. Murong Qi Qi took Su Mei and Su Yue for a walk in Yan Capital.
¡°Miss, the ¡®Spell of Fragrance¡¯ Tong Bao Zhai recentlyunched is selling very well! Recently, Fang Kui counted so much money, his hands lost strength. He also said, if miss has time to let miss design the new jewelries. Many imperial rtives and wives of officials have already ced orders!¡±
While walking, Su Yue reported everything about Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang to Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi was happy to hear that the businesses were going well. Now, the thing theycked to build the number one ce of business was money. Every day, they needed to spend a lot of money because Moyu had so many people. If she didn¡¯t have ie, then the businesses wouldn¡¯t be able to run.
¡°Alright! When I have time, I¡¯ll design a set. Recently, I¡¯ve had some ideas.¡±
While talking, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s group arrived at the street in Yan Capital where the gambling dens were located. They¡¯d just arrived when they heard the shouting, the sound of dices, theughter, and the crying of people who wished to die.
¡°Come,e,e! Bet! Bet if Nan Lin wangfei3 could live till the twenty ninth! Take a bet, take a bet! It¡¯s definitely cost-effective! Can the ninth bride pass the wedding night safely? Would the curse once again descend? Customers, it¡¯s better to take action than to be moved. Did you already bet today?¡±
¡°Really too much!!¡±
Su Mei wanted to go teach the servant of the gambling den a lesson, but was stopped by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Su Yue, go ask how many people have betted that I¡¯ll win?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood on the street. With narrowed eyes, she looked at the famous gambling street of the capital. This territory is excellent. It would be best if she could get it.
Not long after, Su Yue returned.
¡°Miss, aside from Long Ao Tian, no one else betted that you¡¯d win.¡±
¡°Let them bet! The bigger the odds, the more money we can make. Tell Wu Qing, take one million golden teals. Tell him to bet on thest day just before they close. I want the people of this street to lose even their pants!¡±
Murong Qi Qi saying this, made Su Yue and Su Mei exchange a smile. Miss was angry. Angering miss would lead to an ugly fate. One million golden teals, ording to the current odds, would make them bankrupt. The three were just about to leave, and didn¡¯t expect to meet three familiar people... Yu Shi Shi, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die.
¡°Yo, so coincidentally!¡± The moment Yu Shi Shi saw Murong Qi Qi, she smiled. The gentleness showed on her face was so fake, making people feel disgusted.
¡°Princess is also taking a stroll, ah?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s great, ah. Take a stroll to see what new things have happened recently.¡±
If Murong Qi Qi say she¡¯s second at ying innocent, then no one would be first. Before, Yu Shi Shi was put in house arrest for a month. The time had passed. Now that she was out, naturally she should pretend to apany Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Hehe, there are many new things. However, recently everyone was talking about Nan Lin wang¡¯s wedding.¡±
Yu Shi Shi pretended to look sympathetically at Murong Qi Qi. Her eyes seemed to be full of worries for this princess who came to marry so far away.
¡°Ai, don¡¯t know if princess has heard. Everyone is saying that you won¡¯t live past the wedding night!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard.¡±
Murong Qi Qi generously said her inner thoughts. Yu Shi Shi was very surprised. She exchanged a nce with Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yue Die. The two walked to Murong Qi Qi with a ¡®so pitiful¡¯ expression. They looked full of sympathy at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Princess, there are some words I don¡¯t know if I should or shouldn¡¯t say.¡±
¡°Let out...,¡± seeing that Yu Shi Shi wanted to pretend again, Murong Qi Qi felt a little evil.
¡°Let out what?¡± Yu Shi Shi was surprised for a moment.
¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you need to fart, then let it out quickly!¡± Murong Qi Qi dug in her ears. ¡°Crown princess, talk quickly, I still need to go to Jue Se Fang to buy things!¡±
That Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give her face like this, made Yu Shi Shi¡¯s expression turn a bit ugly. However, she had also heard about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s actions at the tournament of the four countries. Now, it¡¯s the momentum of the other party. Yu Shi Shi wouldn¡¯t go head to head with her.
Yu Shi Shi looked at the somewhat shy Mu Yu Die and cleared her throat, ¡°Princess, Nan Lin wang¡¯s eight character is strong. If princess¡¯s body is weak, wouldn¡¯t you be like the previous few wangfeis? I¡¯ve heard, if two women enter the family at the same time when meeting with someone with a strong life, then the evil spirits would be resolved. Why don¡¯t princess consider letting wangye take a concubine. By then, there are two concurrent, happy events in the family, make something perfect even more perfect. So great!¡±
Eight characters: representing the year, month, day, and hour of one¡¯s birth
Lull! Murong Qi Qi almost swore at Yu Shi Shi. What kind of thing, ah?! She (MQQ) hadn¡¯t married yet, but she (YSS) was already thinking to get second wives for Feng Cang. This woman really deserved a good spanking!
Although Murong Qi Qi was thinking like that in her heart, but on the surface, she remained calm.
¡°You say this, presumably you already have someone in mind. It¡¯s just don¡¯t know who is the wonderful person crown princess is talking about.¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi like that, Yu Shi Shi lightly scoffed in her heart. Didn¡¯t she (MQQ) show a very loving appearance with Feng Cang before? However, she (YSS) didn¡¯t reach her goal yet, so Yu Shi Shi wouldn¡¯t show her feelings on her face. She smilingly pushed Mu Yu Die in front of Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Princess, what do you think of miss Mu? The prime minister let people calcte. Miss Mu and wangye¡¯s eight characters truly are a match. If she can make an alliance with wangye, she would certainly give prosperity to the husband and also princess!¡±
Prosper your mother! If it wasn¡¯t because Su Yue was holding her back, Su Mei would¡¯ve long sent Yu Shi Shi flying with a kick. Really, a group of bitches! Miss hadn¡¯t married yet, but they had already sharpened their mind to drill around wangfu. What kind of things do these people think they are?!
¡°Miss Mu also thinks so?¡± Murong Qi Qi looked at Mu Yu Die.
Although before at Yongzhou, Mu Yu Die was frightened and was somewhat silly. However, she slowly recovered her mind. It was just, she sealed away that horrible memory and she turned back to how she was before.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi asked her, Mu Yu Die shyly nodded.
She wasn¡¯t afraid about this matter. Grandfather said he would support all her decisions. If they go with the emperor¡¯s decree, even if Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi object, it wouldn¡¯t have an effect. Now, Mu Yu Die was set on marrying Feng Cang. She had waited till she¡¯s twenty for this man; she¡¯s almost bing the joke of Yan Capital. If she couldn¡¯t marry Feng Cang, then she could only die!
Seeing the blush on Mu Yu Die¡¯s face which had a thick spring taste, Murong Qi Qi suddenly remembered something. Her mouth revealed a sweet smile.
¡°That would be great, ah! If miss Mu enters the family and can get rid of the killing aura on wangye, it would be the best. I would also get one more sister and would also have a ce to drop by!¡±
¡°Princess, you agreed?¡± Hearing the tone of Murong Qi Qi, Mu Yu Die was very excited.
Mu Yu Die knew the ce Murong Qi Qi had in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. There¡¯s a saying: a melon possessed by force is not sweet. If Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t agree; even if she enters the wangfu, Feng Cang also won¡¯t see her as something. Now Murong Qi Qi had loosened; did this mean that there¡¯s hope for her happiness?
Chapter 109 Proposing (1)
Chapter 109 Proposing (1)
¡°I agreed?¡± Murong Qi Qi raised an eyebrow. ¡°Which one of your ears heard me say to let you enter wangfu¡¯s1 door? Hmm?¡±
¡°We didn¡¯t hear! Miss didn¡¯t say that!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue quickly and cooperatively shook their heads.
¡°Crown princess, princess, did you hear?¡± Murong Qi Qi looked at Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu. Although these two really wanted to help Mu Yu Die, but from beginning to end, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t nod nor agree. The two could only shake their heads.
At this point, Mu Yu Die¡¯s face turned green. What did she mean? Could it be that the words she¡¯d just said didn¡¯t mean that she was willing to share a husband? The meaning was so obvious, howe Murong Qi Qi was now going back on her words?
¡°What do you mean?¡± Mu Yu Die blurted out.
Seeing Mu Yu Die acting so eager, Murong Qi Qi chuckled, ¡°Miss Mu doesn¡¯t understand what I mean? Our family¡¯s wangye2 will have me as his only woman. It would be like this before the wedding and it would be like this after the wedding. As for miss Mu¡¯s wishful thinking, listen well and let the meaning get in your head. If I had to agree to every woman who are eager to paste themselves on my family¡¯s wangye, then even this capital wouldn¡¯t be able to fit them all!¡±
¡°You...,¡± Mu Yu Die never expected that Murong Qi Qi would say such things so straightforwardly, so...ugly to hear. This was simply humiliating her, humiliating her feelings for Feng Cang!
¡°Princess, it¡¯s not only you who loves wangye! You should at least respect my true feelings for wangye!¡±
After hearing those words, Murong Qi Qi acted like she¡¯d heard the biggest joke. Slowly, step by step, she walked towards Mu Yu Die. Looking at the firmness in her eyes on her pale face, Murong Qi Qi sighed.
¡°Helplessly, the falling flower is yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on. Even if the love miss Mu has for our family¡¯s wangye is higher than the mountains and deeper than the seas, what does it matter? Feng Cang¡¯s heart only has me. It so happens that I am someone possessive and has possessed his full heart. Even a strand of your hair wouldn¡¯t be able to enter. You should be more conscious and let go! Don¡¯t be at such an age and still thinking so wishfully!¡±
The falling flower is yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on: one side is willing, yet the other one remains indifferent
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s poisonous tongue made Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu startle. She¡¯dpletely disregarded Mu Yu Die¡¯s face and ¡®humiliated¡¯ her on the street like this. Could it be that Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t afraid of offending the prime minister? Besides, how could there be such a woman who repeatedly said that she¡¯d not let Feng Cang take concubines? Was this woman a jealous wife? Would Feng Cang agree with such an unreasonable request?
Sure enough, Mu Yu Die got angry. The thing she cared about the most was when people talked about her age. Now, Murong Qi Qi keeps saying ¡®at such an age¡¯. She was clearly bullying her.
¡°Princess, you went overboard! You take decisions ording to your wishes like that, wangye may not agree!¡±
¡°Ha...,¡± Murong Qi Qi sneered and casted a nce at Mu Yu Die¡¯s ck face. Her mouth went up a beautiful curve. ¡°Wangye said inside Nan Lin wangfu, I¡¯m the boss! My decision also means wangye¡¯s decision!¡±
That Feng Cang pampered Murong Qi Qi this much was more than Yu Shi Shi and the others had expected. It seemed that the hope to push Mu Yu Die into Nan Lin wangfu would fall!
Yu Shi Shi couldn¡¯t bear to see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s proud face. If in the past, she didn¡¯t take one step wrong, how would Murong Qi Qi act so domineering like this now? Why did such a good thing fall into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands? This Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have the appearance nor the body; why did Feng Cang happen to like such a woman? Truly incredible!
¡°Wangye is not bigger than the emperor! The emperor hasn¡¯t spoken about this matter, so this matter isn¡¯t certain yet!¡±
After being irritated by Murong Qi Qi, Mu Yu Die finally pulled Wanyan Lie out.
So, it was like that! Murong Qi Qi finally understood. No wonder these three women would group together; no wonder Mu Yu Die dared to be so bold and confident. It seemed that old thing from Mu fu wanted to walk the road of Wanyan Lie. They wanted to use the emperor and get a decree to suppress her? Could it be that she, Murong Qi Qi, was amb waiting to be ughtered?!
¡°Then, we can talk about this after the emperor opens his golden mouth.¡±
The arrogant face of Murong Qi Qi changed to a calm one. So calm, it was like the deep sea without any trace of waves. She looked at her beautiful fingers and gently touched the pink nails.
¡°However, miss Mu should be careful, ah! Two happy asions at one home, but there are many cases where people didn¡¯t have the blessing to receive such a situation. Even if the emperor sent a decree, you should also have the blessing to receive it...If by chance, the head identally fell, then it would be like miss Mu using a wicker basket to draw water! After all, sometimes, old women¡¯s heads would get short circuited and the reaction is not so agile. There are also cases of sudden deaths.¡±
Using a wicker basket to draw water: wasted efforts
Just now, Mu Yu Die was at ¡®such an age¡¯. Now, she¡¯d be upgraded to ¡®old woman¡¯. No matter how good Mu Yu Die¡¯s temper was, she could hear the sarcasm and threats in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. She (MQQ) was too daring!
¡°Murong Qi Qi! Are you threatening and intimidating me?! I¡¯m the granddaughter of an official of the first rank; who gave you the gut to treat me like this?¡±
¡°Benwang3 gave it...,¡± not waiting for Mu Yu Die to finish venting her anger, a cold voice came over. The next moment, Murong Qi Qi fell into a warm embrace. She didn¡¯t need to guess to know it¡¯s Feng Cang.
Feng Cang¡¯s appearance made the three women take half a step back. After his gaze swept over the three women once, Feng Cang lowered his head and gently kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead.
¡°Why did you not bring more people whening out?! What if you¡¯d encountered mad dogs?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words directly categorized the three women as mad dogs. Su Mei and Su Yue covered their mouths andughed in secret. Wangye¡¯s poisonous tongue¡¯s skills have be better, ah! The crazy look of Mu Yu Due just now, truly was like a mad dog!
¡°Wangye, when encountering a mad dog, naturally one should kill and then strip it to warn the public....¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze fell on Mu Yu Die¡¯s face. Her eyes were full of smiles but they let Mu Yu Die feel a coldness. She immediately tightened her cloak.
¡°What, is miss Mu dissatisfied with benwang¡¯s wangfei?¡±4
¡°No, no, no, I¡¯m not.¡±
With Feng Cang here, how could Mu Yu Die dare to be rude to Murong Qi Qi? Unless she was blind; otherwise, how could she not see the love in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes for Murong Qi Qi? In her heart, she felt so jealous, but she couldn¡¯t say anything! It seemed that she definitely needed to let grandfather go to the emperor. She also wanted Feng Cang to look at her with so much love in his eyes and be gentle like this towards her!
After Feng Cang came, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s gaze immediately was full of hidden bitterness. Why did he only show such a gentle side to Murong Qi Qi? Why wouldn¡¯t he take one more look at her? Could it be he hates her for annulling the engagement in the past? It was just, she also didn¡¯t have a choice; she was forced, ah...
At this time, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s illness of being infatuated acted up again. She was clearly searching for trouble. Seeing Yu Shi Shi like this, Murong Qi Qi wanted to vomit. It seemed that none of these mad and disorderly butterflies were well behaved! It¡¯s time to let them eat some bitterness!
¡°Wangye, in fact, they did it for my own good.¡±
Murong Qi Qi put her small hand into Feng Cang¡¯s big palm.
¡°They were worried that I would have a short life and wouldn¡¯t live pass the wedding night. So, crown princess and princess tried their best to pair miss Mu and you. Just now, the three persuaded me and wanted to let me agree on letting miss Mu and I serve and marry you together! I heard that sir prime minister personally took your and miss Mu¡¯s eight characters to let someone calcte it. The result is that you two were a perfect match...¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, the three wanted to die on the spot.
These were only some words that they¡¯d wanted to test Murong Qi Qi privately with. It was a bunch of nonsense. How could they¡¯ve expected that Murong Qi Qi would tell Feng Cang everything?! Didn¡¯t all women, when faced with such a situation, pretend to be generous and take the concubine for their husband? How could there be such a woman like Murong Qi Qi, who wanted to let the world know about this?!
¡°It seems that prime minister is already old. It¡¯s time for him to retire and return back to his hometown to enjoy hister years...¡± Feng Cang narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yu Die. His body burst with coldness. ¡°That being the case, benwang will add one more sentence on the memorial to the emperor, lest the emperor forget about this matter and also to avoid prime minister being confused and do something detrimental to the country.¡±
When Feng Cang¡¯s words reached Mu Yu Die¡¯s ears, she couldn¡¯t help but shudder. What did Feng Cang mean? Did he want to remove her grandfather from his position? How could this be?! Then won¡¯t her Mu n¡¯s splendor and wealthe to an end?
¡°Wangye, this is not a bad idea! This way, crown prince¡¯s heart can be at ease. Crown princess niangniang5 is really a good helper, ah! The prime minister leaving his post is all niangniang¡¯s credit...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words let a trace of appreciation sh in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. This little wangfei knows how to sow dissension! Everyone knew that the prime minister supported second prince Wanyan Yi. If the prime minister retires, the second prince would lose a source of power. The one who would benefit then would be crown prince Wanyan Hong!
Must say, the result of this trick from Murong Qi Qi was very obvious.
Although Mu Yu Die tried to convince herself that Murong Qi Qi was sowing dissension, but the thought about how recently Yu Shi Shi had been encouraging her to marry Feng Cang and also telling her to let her grandfather go to the emperor; the meaning behind these actions were worth thinking about! Could it be that Yu Shi Shi came to find her because she wanted to consolidate crown prince¡¯s position?
Everyone knew the emperor favored Feng Cang. If Feng Cang didn¡¯t agree, then Wanyan Lie would also not force Feng Cang to do things he didn¡¯t like. By chance, if the matter didn¡¯t go as they nned, then not only did they offend Feng Cang, maybe her grandfather would truly need to resign and return to their hometown. In the end, the one who would profit from all of these is definitely crown prince Wanyan Hong!
After thinking about all of these, Mu Yu Die red once at Yu Shi Shi. Seeing that her (YSS) eyes dodged her eyes, Mu Yu Die was even more sure about the truth in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words. No wonder Yu Shi Shi recently came to look for her and pretended to be close to her.
In the past, because of the awkward situation between the second prince and the crown prince, Yu Shi Shi always kept a distance from her. Now, she suddenly became so close to her; there¡¯s certainly a hidden motive! She actually fell into Yu Shi Shi¡¯s trap!
This woman was truly hateful! She used her love for Feng Cang to shake their Mu fu! Feeling that she had been used, especially her love for Feng Cang had been used, Mu Yu Die wasn¡¯t able to ept it. The way she looked at Yu Shi Shi was not as amiable as before. It seemed that gaze held two knives.
Obviously, in the past, Wanyan Bao Zhu was like her and liked Feng Cang till they hovered between life and death, but today she was unusually quiet. Instead, she went along with Yu Shi Shi. These two definitely nned to let her fall into a pit! She almost fell for it!
Being ndered by Murong Qi Qi like this, Yu Shi Shi couldn¡¯t clear herself even if she had a hundred mouths. She just wanted to use Mu Yu Die to crack Murong Qi Qi. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would excavate the deep meaning behind it. Besides, she didn¡¯t even think about that.
Seeing that her words had caused some effects, Murong Qi Qi chuckled.
¡°Wangye, I just joked with you. Don¡¯t take it seriously?! Just now, crown princess niangniang, princess Bao Zhu and miss Mu were just joking with me! I just shared the jokes between our sisters with wangye, how could wangye take it seriously? Prime minister Mu is highly respected and a pir of the country...¡±
Seeing that pair of clever eyes on Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes no longer could tolerate another. Feng Cang already knew that Murong Qi Qi being like this meant that she had found a way to punish these women and didn¡¯t want him to help. Since his little wangfei is happy, then he should just watch the y! Anyway, no matter what she does, it would be alright since behind her, there¡¯s him!
¡°Oh? Really?¡± Feng Cang ¡®suddenly realized¡¯. ¡°Qing Qing, in the future don¡¯t use such jokes to scare me. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know; in my heart Qing Qing is more important than all existence. If Qing Qing is unhappy, I¡¯ll let everyone be unhappy. Come, let me coax Qing Qing till she¡¯s happy...¡±
Inparison, Feng Cang¡¯s words were truly a threat and also made these people dare not to say anything. Feng Cang said it like that, then it¡¯s certain that he would do it. It was just, Yu Shi Shi and the other didn¡¯t think that Murong Qi Qi was so important in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. If Murong Qi Qi is unhappy, then he would let everyone be unhappy? Feng Cang could absolutely do such a thing!
Feng Cang cooperated so well and gave her so much face, making Murong Qi Qi be very happy. She¡¯d already wasted so much time on these three women. It¡¯s time to go to Jue Se Fang.
¡°Wangye, I want to go to Jue Se Fang to pick a few clothes...¡±
¡°I¡¯ll apany you!¡±
Leaving these three women behind, Feng Cang personally led Murong Qi Qi away. And Feng Cang¡¯s appearance made the people inside the gambling dense out.
¡°Did you see? That is princess Zhao Yang! This time, our contestant got into an ident, it¡¯s princess Zhao Yang who substituted them. That¡¯s why we won the tournament!¡±
Some people in the crowd introduced Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wonderful story. The people who originally wanted to see the oue of the wedding, when they saw that Murong Qi Qi was such a well-behaved and pretty person, they felt pity for her.
¡°Maybe in a few days, she¡¯ll be a red skull!¡± Someone whispered and sighed. However, this sentence reached Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. Feng Cang¡¯s hand tightened. Murong Qi Qi could feel the chillnessing from his hand.
Seeing the attitude of Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi gave a gentle smile.
She didn¡¯t believe those god-like rumors! In this world, there¡¯s no ghost; there¡¯s only people¡¯s hearts acting like ghosts! After living together these days, she could feel what kind of person Feng Cang truly was. If Feng Cang¡¯s life was really as strong as the rumors say, then why was it that after so long, she¡¯s still safe? It seemed that the only problem was the wedding night.
¡°Wangye, let¡¯s go!¡±
Now, it was Murong Qi Qi who led Feng Cang. She used action to tell those people who looked at her with pity that she is happy! And that she would continue to be happy like this!
After Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi left, Mu Yu Die felt unsatisfactory. She put all of these on Yu Shi Shi. After saying a ¡®I¡¯ll take my leave¡¯, she left. Wanyan Bao Zhu also wanted to leave. Ever since she had intimate contact with Wanyan Hong, she consciously avoided the people of the East pce. However, today she was dragged out by Yu Shi Shi. Now, even if she wanted to leave, she feared that she wouldn¡¯t be able to.
Being defeated by Murong Qi Qi, being hated by Mu Yu Die and now seeing Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi showing so much love, Yu Shi Shi felt that nothing went ording to her n today! Yu Shi Shi stared at Feng Cang¡¯s back. The vinegar pot in her heart had been knocked over.
Look, see how other people¡¯s men love their women? And then thinking about that one in the East pce, aside from being a man, nothing about him is normal! How could Wanyan Hong bepared with Feng Cang? With what could he bepared to? Appearance? Personality? Ability? Temperament?
Now, Yu Shi Shi felt that she was blind. In the past, because of being afraid, afraid that Feng Cang would die young; so in the end, she chose Wanyan Hong who may be the emperor. Now, what kind of days was she living? Only she knew.
She¡¯d promised that person to certainly break up Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang, but now looking at the situation, this simply couldn¡¯t be done. What should she do?
Now, Yu Shi Shi had anger, and she had nowhere to vent. She turned and saw Wanyan Bao Zhu who was in deep thoughts with her head lowered.
¡°Imperial little sister, why didn¡¯t you say anything just now? In the past, didn¡¯t you hate Murong Qi Qi the most? You liked Nan Lin wang so much; why is it that after a trip to Yongzhou, you changed?¡±
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s words made Wanyan Bao Zhu startled. Presumably because she had a guilty conscience; after hearing Yu Shi Shi¡¯s words, she felt like she had been seen through.
Only after being in a daze for quite a moment, did Wanyan Bao Zhu recover. Since Wanyan Hong was unable to recognize her, Yu Shi Shi definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize her. Why should she scare herself like this?!
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t seem right, Yu Shi Shi chuckled. She showed a smile full of sarcasm. Just now, she (WBZ) gave a performance of having no interest in Feng Cang and now she was immersed in her own world. She¡¯s certainly thinking about Feng Cang.
Ah, when had this girl learn to loosen the reins only to grasp them better? It was just, Feng Cang didn¡¯t put such a small trick into his eyes. Now, his heart must be filled with Murong Qi Qi...
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Yu Shi Shi went forward and grabbed Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s hand.
¡°Where to, imperial sister-inw?¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu raised her head and was met with Yu Shi Shi¡¯s pair of calcting eyes. Her heart was rmed and beat hard like bells. She always felt that Yu Shi Shi, this crown princess, wasn¡¯t ordinary. She looked gentle and delicate but was in fact, very insidious. She¡¯sparable with Wanyan Hong. No wonder they¡¯re husband and wife.
¡°Of course, to Jue Se Fang, ah! I want to go buy beautiful clothes! We need to go congratte when Nan Lin wang gets married! If we¡¯re defeated by Murong Qi Qi in appearance, wouldn¡¯t it be very shameful?!¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to refuse, Yu Shi Shi pulled Wanyan Bao Zhu along in order to catch up with Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Flies! So hateful!¡± When Su Mei saw Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu following them from far away, she immediately humphed. People need to have face, trees have skins, why were these two so shameless? They actually followed them! She really didn¡¯t know how, with such tyrannical faces, they could stillugh!
¡°Su Mei, calm down!¡± Murong Qi Qi patted Su Mei¡¯s hand. ¡°The road is for people to walk on. We can¡¯t stop them!¡±
She guessed that Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu would follow them to Jue Se Fang, but she didn¡¯t stop them. She was still relying on them to do live advertisement for her. No one would make things difficult for money.
After Fang Tong heard that miss had arrived, he immediately came out to greet. He hadn¡¯t walked to Murong Qi Qi yet, when he was stopped by Yu Shi Shi.
¡°Shopkeeper, what new things do you have recently?¡±
Fang Tong knew Yu Shi Shi. She was the crown princess; the eldest imperial grandson¡¯s biological mother. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang continued to look around, Fang Tong knew that miss didn¡¯t need his service. He smiled and apanied Yu Shi Shi.
¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this crown princess niangniang? Thismoner greets niangniang!¡±
Just now, she lost face by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s actions. Now, she got it back from Fang Tong¡¯s respectful attitude, making her heart feel great satisfaction.
¡°Mm! I came today with princess Bao Zhu. We just want to look to see if there are any beautiful clothes!¡±
¡°Greeting to princess!¡± Hearing that the one beside Yu Shi Shi was Wanyan Bao Zhu, Fang Tong immediately paid his respect.
¡°You may dispense yourself from curtsying...¡±
After Wanyan Bao Zhu said one sentence, Fang Tong became startled. Then, he looked carefully at Wanyan Bao Zhu. Atst, he smiled, ¡°Great, wait here for a moment!¡±
When a beautiful blue dress was brought out and shown in front of Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu, the two¡¯s eyes almost fell out.
¡°How beautiful!¡± Yu Shi Shi reached out and gently touched it. She felt the softness of the blue dress.
¡°How pretty!¡± When Wanyan Bao Zhu once again opened her mouth, Fang Tong was certain that the person in front of him was Murong Xin Lian.
Fang Tong had a pair of preternaturally good ears. In the past, at Xi Qi, with just the word ¡®good¡¯ from Feng Cang, he was able to recognize that he was Nan Lin wang. Now, although Murong Xin Lian wore a human skin mask, but after two sentences, it was enough to let Fang Tong confirm the true identity of Murong Xin Lian.
Why was Murong Xin Lian at Bei Zhou? Why was she dressed and appeared like Wanyan Bao Zhu? The fact that she looked like this now was definitely because she wore a human skin mask. It was just, what¡¯s her purpose foring here (BZ)? Could it be to deal with miss?
Thinking till here, Fang Tong concluded. He must tell Murong Qi Qi Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s true identity. He couldn¡¯t let his miss stay in the dark.
Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu each chose a dress. Although the dresses here were very expensive, but they were unique. The thing women buy when spending money was vanity. To be able to wear a beautiful and unique dress in Bei Zhou and even unique in the four countries, bing the focus of everyone, what importance did spending some money have?!
Although Wanyan Hong¡¯s personality was bad and he was not so normal, but on materialistic things, he gave Yu Shi Shi great satisfaction. Don¡¯t know if it was because she wanted to prove to Feng Cang that she was living very well now or that she wanted to show her wealth, Yu Shi Shi also generously bought that dress of Wanyan Bao Zhu and gave it to her as a gift.
¡°A total of one thousand, two hundred silver teals!¡±
¡°These are bank notes! Count them!¡± Yu Shi Shi proudly took out a stack of bank notes and gave it to the servant. Her eyes swept over Murong Qi Qi as if she was saying, how do you feel? With one gesture, I can get a thousand teals! Did I scare you?!
Chapter 110 Proposing (2)
Chapter 110 Proposing (2)
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s ¡®pride¡¯ made Murong Qi Qi speechless. It also made Su Mei and Su Yue almost copse. Did water enter this woman¡¯s brain? She wanted topare wealth with miss? Her brain really was cramped.
After Fang Tong received the money, he let the servants carefully wrap the clothes and then handed it to the maid behind Yu Shi Shi.
¡°After crown princess wears this dress, crown princess would certainly shine and would shine above everyone in appearance!¡±
These words made Yu Shi Shi happy. She pretended to walk to Murong Qi Qi and turned over the dress Murong Qi Qi was looking at, ¡°How beautiful! Princess, do you want to buy it?¡±
¡°No!¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t have money!¡±
That Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have money made Yu Shi Shi very happy. Alright,pared to being a man, her Wanyan Hong couldn¡¯t bepared to Feng Cang. Butparing money, she at least had a small treasury and was richer than Murong Qi Qi.
¡°However, what I take a fancy on, wangye1 will buy for me. Wangye said that men spend money to buy a woman¡¯s happiness is a matter of course!¡±
Waiting till the smile on Yu Shi Shi was the biggest, did Murong Qi Qi threw out such a sentence, making Yu Shi Shi¡¯s smile stiffen. And Feng Cang also very cooperatively let Fang Tong pack the dress in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. He paid ten thousand teals on spot.
Undoubtedly, Feng Cang¡¯s attitude was a p on Yu Shi Shi¡¯s face. She didn¡¯t know if she shouldugh or cry on her stiff face. Did this woman do it on purpose?
Wanyan Bao Zhu seemed to have seen how favored Murong Qi Qi is. All kinds of envy, jealous and hate came into her heart. It was just, she also knew clearly, she couldn¡¯t win over Murong Qi Qi. She could only take her time to n. The thing she needed to do now was to ruin Murong Qing Lian. Then she should paste herself on Longze Jing Tian, the big tree.
When Murong Qi Qi returned to the wangfu2, Su Yue reported to her what Fang Tong found out.
¡°Oh? So, it¡¯s her! That¡¯s why I said, why couldn¡¯t everyone in Moyu find her?! So, it was because she turned into Wanyan Bao Zhu...,¡± Murong Qi Qi slowly blew the smoke floating above the tea. ¡°Find someone clever to follow her. Leave her life for now.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Su Yue nodded. Murong Qi Qi called her (SY) to her (MQQ) side. She whispered something in her ears. Su Yue retreated while smiling.
The next day, a man in ragged clothes appeared outside the prime minister¡¯s mansion. In his hand, he held Mu Yu Die¡¯s jade pendant. He shouted he wanted to see Mu fu¡¯s3 eldest miss and wanted to marry her. The shouting of the man attracted many onlookers. Seeing that there were so many people, the man put more effort. He showed the onlookers the jade with the three words ¡®Mu Yu Die¡¯ engraved on it. He also vividly described how he and Mu fu¡¯s eldest miss got to know and fell in love with each other and how they privately already made a pledge to be married.
When prime minister Mu Hua came back from the morning court meeting, the matter of the prime minister¡¯s eldest miss and a man had an affair had long caused an uproar. The whole capital knew about this matter by then.
¡°Disgraceful!¡± Mu Hua called Mu Yu Die over. He didn¡¯t listen to her exnation. A p went straight at her face. ¡°You actually lose your jade pendant and it also fell into a man¡¯s hands! All of Mu family¡¯s face was lost because of you!¡±
Mu Yu Die cried while exining, but Mu Hua didn¡¯t listen. A girl¡¯s personal token, a symbol of identity fell onto a man¡¯s hands; even if they exin that Mu Yu Die was innocent, but thosemoners won¡¯t think like that. Not to mention that he is a country¡¯s prime minister. How many pair of eyes are watching him and waiting for him to make a mistake? He had always been so cautious. He didn¡¯t expect that his granddaughter would let Mu fu lose such a big face.
The moment, he thought about the man with Mu Yu Die¡¯s jade, Mu Hua wished he could kill him. However, that man was smart. He let everyone know about this. If something happened to him and his opponents get this piece of information to use against him, he would be in trouble. So, now, not only couldn¡¯t Mu Hua kill him, instead, he should protect him, lest to let him be killed and Mu fu be framed.
¡°Usually, you¡¯re so clever, howe you¡¯re of no good now? A girl¡¯s reputation is ruined. See, how you¡¯ll face people in the future!¡±
¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t want to marry that beggar! I don¡¯t want to marry him! I like Feng Cang. I want to marry Feng Cang...¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯ Hearing Mu Yu Die mention ¡®Feng Cang¡¯, Mu Hua got angry. He raised his hand. Another p went to Mu Yu Die¡¯s face. ¡°Howe this old one has such a disappointing granddaughter? What¡¯s not good about second prince? When you marry, you¡¯ll be an imperial consort. In the future, you¡¯ll be empress. You happen to fancy a sickly person. Are you blind or have you gone mad? Now, such a thing happened and you still want to marry Feng Cang? Forget it!¡±
The thing that happened at the prime minister¡¯s mansion became the joke of the high society. And Mu Yu Die also became the talk andughter at the dining table. There were people who rumored the story very brilliantly. They described the story of Mu Yu Die and the beggar very vividly and colorful like they witnessed it themselves.
For a time, this profane love had been coated with ayer of legendary light. It even spread to Wanyan Lie¡¯s ears.
¡°Oh? There¡¯s actually such a thing?¡± Wanyan Lie heard about this iparable love at empress Li Bing¡¯s. He was very interested. ¡°In this world there¡¯s very small number of love where the families didn¡¯t match. Since it¡¯s like that, then zhen4 will grant them marriage!¡±
With a decree, Mu Yu Die became the bride of a beggar. Mu Hua was so angry that he fainted. It was just, no matter how much Mu Hua loved his granddaughter or how unwilling Mu Yu Die was, they couldn¡¯t defy the emperor¡¯s decree. When he got to know it was empress Li Bing who told the emperor this, Mu Hua hated the empress so much.
The empress was like this was for nothing more but because Mu Hua stood at the second prince¡¯s side. That was why she humiliated Mu Yu Die and also humiliated prime minister Mu Hua. With tears, he let Mu Yu Die get married. Hearing his granddaughter¡¯s hysterical cries, Mu Hua cried. He would remember this! No matter what, he won¡¯t let Wanyan Hong be the emperor!
When Su Mei told Murong Qi Qi Mu Yu Die¡¯s ending, she only smiled. Mu Yu Die asked for it herself. This punishment could be considered light. Time would wash away everything. Mu Yu Die¡¯s matter very quickly became history.
These days, Murong Qi Qi was very idle. So idle, she almost became mold.
The wangfu was decorated withnterns and colored banners in preparation of Feng Cang¡¯s wedding. These past few days, Feng Cang appeared like gods and disappeared like devils. Wanyan Kang came by a few times. These two mixed and whispered together. They seemed to be keeping something from Murong Qi Qi. It was just, they were very secretive. Wanyan Kang even kept it from Su Mei. There was definitely something fishy going on.
Appeared like gods and disappeared like devils: appear and disappear unpredictably.
There was three days left before the wedding. This day, the wangfei5 was very quiet. When Murong Qi Qi woke up and opened her eyes, it was already noon. She discovered that Su Mei and Su Yue was not at her side. She called twice, but no one appeared. Murong Qi Qi could only get up and wash by herself. Because she didn¡¯t know how to do her hair, she let her long hair loose. It reached her heel. She dressed up and walked out of Tingsong Building.
It was still the first month of the lunar calendar. The weather was still cold. Murong Qi Qi stepped on the snow while wandering in the wangfu. After walking for a while, she felt that something wasn¡¯t right. The whole wangfu was very quiet. No sound could be heard and also no people could be seen.
¡°Wangye? Su Mei! Su Yue!¡±
It was so quiet and no one responded. Only asionally, she could hear a sound or two from the birds. There were no other sounds.
So strange...Murong Qi Qi was very surprised. Where did all the people go? could it be that all went to prepare for the wedding? However, it still shouldn¡¯t be like this with not even one person around, ah!
She walked around the whole wangfu but didn¡¯t see even one person. When Murong Qi Qi returned to Tingsong Building, it was already evening.
In the winter, it would be dark earlier. Looking at the vast dusk, Murong Qi Qi felt a bit uneasy. What the matter? Why isn¡¯t anyone here? Could it be something happened? Or is it that someone invaded wangfu?
Just as Murong Qi Qi was thinking, a sound of the zither came over. The sound was melodious like gurgling spring water. It was like you could be drunk from the sound. There¡¯s someone! Murong Qi Qi was happy. She immediately followed the sound of the zither to find the source. She didn¡¯t expect to go around the whole plum garden.
It was in the winter. The plum blossoms bloomed alluringly. The moment Murong Qi Qi looked, she saw Feng Cang inside the pavilion in the plum garden.
It seemed that today¡¯s Feng Cang was particrly handsome. He was still wearing snow white clothes. His long hair was in a bundle on the top of his head. At this time, Feng Cang was dedicated at ying the zither. His slender and long fingers fiddled the strings of the qin. A wonderful music came from those fingertips. The whole plum garden was surrounded by the touching zither¡¯s music.
¡°Qing Qing, you came!¡± After the final sound, Feng Cang stood up. Smilingly he led Murong Qi Qi into the pavilion. Don¡¯t know when, but two beautiful red candles on the table had been lit. What¡¯s more surprising was the jade bottle on the table where a bouquet of red plum was stuck inside.
The orange candlelight rendered the whole atmosphere exceptionally warm. In the air floated a faint fragrance of plum. At this time, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were particrly gentle, making Murong Qi Qi be suck into them.
Could it be he wanted...
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t get the situation yet, when Feng Cang knelt in front of her. In his hand was a beautiful box. When opened, inside the boxy a fine ruby ring.
¡°Murong Qi Qi, are you willing to marry me and be my wife, apany me in day and night, stand with me while holding hands, have children for me and after death...be buried in our family¡¯s ancestral grave?¡±
¡°Puchi!¡± Behind the rockery, don¡¯t know whoughed after hearing thest sentence.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t felt it was funny. At this time, her heart was filled with sweetness. After death, be buried in the ancestral grave of Feng n? Leaving a tablet next to Feng Cang¡¯s in the ancestral hall of Feng n? How wonderful was such a thing, ah?!
¡°Qing Qing, are you willing? Are you willing to be my bride?¡± Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say a word for half a day, Feng Cang was anxious. In his handsome phoenix eyes appeared something called anxiety. ¡°Are you willing?¡±
Feng Cang was somewhat worried that Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t willing.
He prepared for so long was to give Murong Qi Qi the proposal of her dreams. However, he had never seen such a proposal and also had never heard about it. He had pondered these past two days for very long before choosing this ce and appeared in such a way in front of Murong Qi Qi.
Now, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t nod for such a long time, made all those small sensitive and dejected feelingse out. If Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t agree or if she refuses, what should he do? He had never thought to force Murong Qi Qi to marry him. These past two days, the rumors were flying in the capital. Presumably, she also heard them. If she became timid before the marriage or if she wanted to retreat, what should he do?
Only a dozen seconds, Feng Cang thought about many ¡®too horrible to contemte¡¯ consequences. Aside from anxiousness in his eyes was also a trace of anticipation.
When she saw the sincerity and mncholy in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes , Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart turned soft. This man, ah! He¡¯s obviously very manly, but now, he was so cautious making people feel pity!
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m willing!¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her left hand in front of Feng Cang. ¡°I¡¯m willing to marry you to be your wife. From now till forever, whether it¡¯s during good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happiness or sadness, I will love you forever, cherish you and be faithful to you until forever after!¡±
They were surrounded by silence. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gentle voice healed the fear in Feng Cang¡¯s heart.
The moment he heard she was willing to marry him and would never leave him no matter when, where or what for situations, Feng Cang¡¯s excited lips slightly trembled. He stood up and tightly hugged Murong Qi Qi. He wished he could rub her into his bone marrow.
¡°I also love you! I¡¯m also willing to apany for a very long time. No matter if it¡¯s during favorable circumstances or predicament, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happiness or sadness, I will love you forever, cherish you, respect you and be faithful to you for all eternity!¡±
Feng Cang remembered Murong Qi Qi¡¯s promise. He tightly hugged Murong Qi Qi while his heart beat fast. So many years, so many days, Feng Cang had never been happy like today!
There¡¯s no doubt that Murong Qi Qi is his bride, but this marriage was set by the two countries. It was not her own will.
All along, Feng Cang had a trace of worry. He was worried that Murong Qi Qi was forced to marry him. Now, hearing Murong Qi Qi say ¡®I¡¯m willing¡¯, ¡®I¡¯ll love you forever¡¯, Feng Can¡¯s heartpletely opened. His heart alsopletely rxed.
¡°Oh!¡± Next to them, someone pped and someone cheered. When Murong Qi Qi left Feng Cang¡¯s arms, she discovered that the people who disappeared during the day were now surrounding them. Everyone was cheering this couple. Wanyan Kang shouted the loudest!
¡°You...,¡± Murong Qi Qi suddenly realized. Everything which happened today was the ¡®collusion¡¯ of these people.
¡°Congrattions, miss! Congrattions, guye6!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue smilingly went forward and bowed at Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. The ¡®guye¡¯ from the two made Feng Cang¡¯s mood soar. He rewarded everyone with a sry of a year.
¡°Wangye, the ring isn¡¯t put on yet!¡± Murong Qi Qi waved her left hand. ¡°You need to put it on the ring finger!¡±
¡°Good, good!¡± Feng Cang was too happy. He actually had forgotten the most critical thing. When he put the ring on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ring finger, the two¡¯s fingers intertwined as if they would never separate.
¡°Kiss her!¡± Wanyan Kang shouted. With this fifth prince taking the lead, the others also shouted.
Normally, these servants were a bit afraid of Feng Cang. However, today was Feng Cang¡¯s happiest day. He smiled a lot more. He seemed a lot easier to get close to. So, under the lead of Wanyan Kang, everyone also shouted.
¡°Cousin brother, kiss her! Come, kiss as a pledge to your love! What do you guys say?¡±
¡°Great!¡±
The voices of the masses were loud and clear. Their eyes bright as snow. Under the eyes of so many, Feng Cang slowly lowered his head.
Chapter 111 The truth (1)
Chapter 111 The truth (1)
Not waiting for Feng Cang¡¯s kiss tond, Murong Qi Qi tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Feng Cang¡¯s lips.
¡°Cousin-inw is formidable!¡± Wanyan Kang roared and whistled. The people beside him were also very happy. It seemed that wangye1 and wangfei¡¯s2 rtionship was very good. This was the thing that made people the happiest.
The two kissed as if there was no one else around; as if in this world, there were only the two of them.
¡®Pa!¡¯ ¡®Boom!¡¯ Nine hundred ny-nine fireworks were lit. The sky above the whole wangfu3 was bright like it was in the day. Gorgeous flowers bloomed in the blue sky. It attracted the attention of the whole capital and also alerted Wanyan Lie in the pce.
Chinese people like 9 very much as 9 has the same pronunciation with ¾Ã (Jiu, meaning evesting). On the Valentine¡¯s Day, a man usually presents his lover with 99 or 999 roses to symbolize eternal love.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Jing De, let someone go take a look!¡±
Wanyan Lie put down the memorials he was looking at. He walked to the window and looked at the colorful piece of sky not far away. He frowned, ¡°It seems to be in the direction of Nan Lin wangfu. Quickly, let people go check what happened!¡±
Not only the pce, the embassy where Xi Qi¡¯s people were staying at had also been rmed.
Looking at the sky full of fireworks above Nan Lin wangfu, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s lips were in a tight line. Since he escorted Murong Qi Qi to Bei Zhou till now, his task had been to wait for the wedding of Murong Qi Qi. After seeing her happily be Feng Cang¡¯s wife, his mission would bepleted.
It was just, now, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wedding was getting closer, so close that he didn¡¯t dare to go to Nan Lin wangfu. He was afraid that after seeing Murong Qi Qi, he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand that kind of heart-tearing pain. Although in his heart, he wanted to see her, but now seeing her had also became a luxurious thing in his life. Since it was like that, it would be better to not see her or meet her. She would always stay in his heart as a young girl; she won¡¯t change, won¡¯t get old and would just stay there...
¡°What happened at Nan Lin wangfu?¡± Longze Jing Tian had let someone go inquire. After a while, the person came back.
¡°Answering wangye, Nan Lin wang proposed to princess Zhao Yang! It¡¯s said, he prepared nine hundred and ny-nine fireworks...As for what this proposing thing is, this subordinate didn¡¯t found out.¡±
¡°Propose?¡± Looking at the sky of the night blooming with beautiful fireworks, Longze Jing Tian went silent. In his mind, he fantasied about how gorgeous Murong Qi Qi would smile under this piece of colorful sky.
Did he really miss it? Although Longze Jing Tian had let people find crown princess Yu Shi Shi before he came to Bei Zhou and wanted her to make trouble between those two, but it seemed that that woman wasn¡¯t of any use.
Moreover, the most critical thing was that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart had moved for Feng Cang. She seemed to have fallen in love with him. Even if he got her back; a woman who had another man living in her heart, would she still try to give him love?
Longze Jing Tian frowned and stared at that piece of colorful sky. He didn¡¯t speak a word. What should he do? Let go and let her be happy? He wasn¡¯t so generous. However, if he forced her to stay at his side, looking at her smile gradually disappear; he also couldn¡¯t do it. What should he do?
Regardless of what Shangguan Wu Ji and Longze Jing Tian were thinking; aside from feeling a loss, Li Yun Qing¡¯s heart was calm. He had seen that man and also met him. He had the appearance of a celestial being and was the proud son of heaven. Only such a man was worthy of her.
From now on, with her, he would only have the blood rtionship of being her cousin brother and nothing more. Aside from hiding all his love in his heart, what more could he do?! In the vast sea of people, finding the only partner for life and get him/her; my fortune is not my life...if she¡¯s happy, isn¡¯t that what he wanted?
The three men didn¡¯t talk, making the atmosphere a bit heavy.
After Bai Yi Yue heard that Feng Cang used such arge scale to get the beauty to smile, she felt happy for Murong Qi Qi from the bottom of her heart. This girl showed her true temperament. No matter if it was putting on airs or being overbearing or flying full of passion; all were the true her, making Bai Yi Yue like her although they¡¯re the same sex; not to mention the opposite sex!
At this time, only one person¡¯s mood was the worst.
Murong Qing Lian bit her lips and stared at the sky above Nan Lin wangfu. She was so envious. Why wasn¡¯t she as lucky as Murong Qi Qi?! Why, after so long, was Longze Jing Tian still so cold towards her? Why was it that everyone felt Murong Qi Qi was great even though she¡¯s (MQL) much better than her (MQQ)?
Murong Qing Lianpletely forgot that Murong Qi Qi acted mercifully towards her at the tournament of the four countries. Now, Murong Qi Qi was at Nan Lin wangfu and didn¡¯t go find or provoke her (MQL), but her heart felt like she ate a catalysis which constantly expanded and attributed all the problems to Murong Qi Qi.
Inside the pce, Jing De reported what happened at Nan Lin wangfu to Wanyan Lie. After hearing that Feng Cang had knelt on one knee and proposed to Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie was startled. ¡°It seemed that this time, his heart has truly moved...¡±
¡°Right, ah! With Feng Cang¡¯s proud personality, he would certainly not do something like this in public. Your majesty, Nan Lin wang took princess Zhao Yang as the meat of his heart!¡±
After hearing this, Wanyan Lie revealed a cruel smile, ¡°This is great! Zhen4 wants to cut off the meat from his heart, making him be so in pain as to not want to live anymore! Hahahaha!¡±
At night, Su Mei and Su Yue retreated. They left the space for Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang, the two lovers who¡¯d just said their vows.
Inside the room, they were surrounded by the fragrance of flowers. Murong Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Her fingers were wrapped around Feng Cang¡¯s hair. Shezily narrowed her eyes like an idle cat.
¡°The first time I married; that night, the disease suddenly acted. In the end, the other party was scared to death...¡±
¡°The second time, the other party inadvertently saw my purple eyes. She screamed and was killed by Ruyi...¡±
¡°The third time, the other party had heard about my bad reputation of cursing my wives to death. She wanted to escape. In the end, she fell from the wall and broke her neck...¡±
¡°The fourth time, the sedan hadn¡¯t arrived yet when she cut her wrist...¡±
¡°The fifth one entered and wanted to seduce me. She burned aphrodisiac incense in the chamber. I killed her...¡±
¡°The sixth one suddenly died. She was poisoned...¡±
¡°The seventh lost her chasteness before the marriage. Shemitted suicide...¡±
¡°The eight one heard my footsteps. She was frightened to death...¡±
Listening to Feng Cang confess his past; after hearing his experience, Murong Qi Qi turned over and sat in his embrace, ¡°Wangye, you have many love affairs, ah! Hearing this, it seems a bit unfair! It¡¯s the first time I¡¯m marrying, but you¡¯ve already married so many times. Just thinking about it makes me feel it¡¯s unfair! Why don¡¯t I also marry eight times? Then we could be considered even.¡±
¡°You dare!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s hand held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist tightly. ¡°You¡¯re mine! In this whole life, you will get my surname. Aside from me, in this world, there¡¯s no one who would dare to marry you!¡±
¡°Why?¡± Murong Qi Qi raised an eyebrow and pretended to be confused.
¡°Because if others want to touch my woman, they need to ask my sword first if it would let them or not!¡±
After hearing Feng Cang¡¯s proprietorial deration, Murong Qi Qi was very happy. She liked Feng Cang¡¯s domineering appearance. Hisnguage revealed a strong possessiveness and jealousy, making people happy when listening to it.
¡°Tsk, tsk, wangye, this is not right! In the past, you married so many women and I didn¡¯t even get jealous, instead you¡¯re the one who¡¯s feeling wronged?!¡± Murong Qi Qi pouted. Although she was touched by Feng Cang¡¯s overbearing words, but she still felt a bit unhappy, ¡°Just the thought of you almost bing the man of another woman and having children with someone else, makes me feel very sullen!¡±
Feng Cang could understand Murong Qi Qi¡¯s jealousy. He pulled Murong Qi Qi in front of him and kissed her forehead, ¡°Qing Qing, if I say before you, I didn¡¯t know what love is and in my eyes, women were just a tool to pass down the family, would you be angry?¡±
¡°After my parents passed away, imperial grandmother was the only one who truly loved me. There were only a few heirs to Feng n. In my generation, there¡¯s only me. She was worried about Feng n¡¯s bloodline. So, every time, she decreed marriage on me in the name of love. However, in the end, she wasn¡¯t sessful. Instead, it let her be more worried and also more anxious. And finally, it turned into the current situation...¡±
¡°Then, don¡¯t you know how to reject?¡± The anger in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart still hasn¡¯t fully disappeared. Although those people were now history, but they had been involved with Feng Cang, making her, who¡¯d wanted to be the only one in his heart, be a bit jealous.
¡°Qing Qing, if I reject, then there would be someone else who would be unhappy!¡±
At this point, the smile on Feng Cang¡¯s face became very mysterious. It was full of vor and also with a slight coolness. Murong Qi Qi felt something was wrong from Feng Cang¡¯s tone. Could there be something hidden inside?
¡°The first time I married, the gu poison suddenly acted up. That day wasn¡¯t the fifteenth. After that, every night after the bride entered the wangfu and we worshipped the heaven and earth, the gu would act up. As for those women, no matter if they were poisoned ormitted suicide or lost their chasteness; it revealed that all of that had been orchestrated by humans...¡±
¡°Are you saying, someone killed them and disguised them as idents? There¡¯s someone who wanted to deliberately taint your reputation?¡± Murong Qi Qi suddenly came to a realization. She frowned, ¡°Who is it? Why did he/she do it? Could the other party have a hatred as deep as the sea with you?¡±
Feng Cang smiled but didn¡¯t answer. Coldness burst out of those ck eyes behind the thick eyshes. His hand gentlybed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair, ¡°The day before yesterday, I went into the pce. The emperor let me eat some dessert and drink some tea. After I left the imperial study, I spit them out onto a handkerchief. After I came back, Jin Mo took a look at it. He said that inside the dessert and tea were drugs to hasten up the acting of the gu poison...¡±
¡°It¡¯s Wanyan Lie?¡±
This result let Murong Qi Qi be very surprised. Why? Why was it like that? Didn¡¯t Wanyan Lie love Feng Cang the most? This time, they¡¯re getting married; Wanyan Lie had been sending gifts to Nan Lin wangfu every day. Almost all the treasures from the pce had been moved here. Could all of this be a sham?
¡°Since the fourth time when the bride cut her wrist in the sedan chair, I saw that something was wrong. That woman didn¡¯tmit suicide, she had been murdered! Only at the seventh time, when the bride had lost her chasteness andmitted suicide, did I be sure that the one behind these incidents was Wanyan Lie.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t he your biological uncle? Why would he treat you like this? Could all those rumors be false? Everything about Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor favoring Nan Lin wang is fake?¡±
The result was too incredible. If what Feng Cang said was the truth, then this truth was too cruel! How could a person be such a hypocrite? At one side, he was kind like a respectable elder. At the other side, he was full of calctions and used such ruthless tactics?
¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯ve been investigating what had really happened at Yandang mountain fifteen years ago. The world said Feng Xie was defeated at Murong Tai¡¯s hands. Ah, how could Murong Tai bepared to a character like my father?!¡±
While saying that, Feng Cang nced apologetically once at Murong Qi Qi. He felt that it wasn¡¯t right to talk about Murong Tai like that. Speaking of this, Murong Tai was now his father-inw.
¡°Continue, it¡¯s fine!¡± After finding out from Li Qiu Shui that she¡¯s not Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, Murong Qi Qi felt relieved. Even she herself couldn¡¯t ept such a cold and indifferent person as her father.
¡°At that time, father already had victory in his hands. With father¡¯s tactics of leading the army, not to mention one Murong Tai, even ten couldn¡¯t bepared with father...¡±
¡°Wangye, do you mean the reason great general was defeated at Yandang mountain was not because of Murong Tai¡¯s ability, but because he was defeated by his own people?¡±
¡°Smart!¡± Feng Cang tapped on Murong Qi Qi nose, ¡°You got it at once. Qing Qing is very clever!¡±
Murong Qi Qi only smiled at Feng Cang¡¯s praise. Now, she wanted to know who betrayed Feng Xie. Who let Feng Cang lose his parents so young? Who had such a big hatred towards Feng Xie, for him/her to be able to do such a thing?
¡°If I didn¡¯t guess wrong, that person is my dear uncle, Wanyan Lie!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Murong Qi Qi waspletely stunned. If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Cang personally saying this, she wouldn¡¯t have believed any of it. However, this answer was really too shocking.
If Bei Zhou had won that battle at Yandang mountain, Bei Zhou would¡¯ve driven straight into Xi Qi and Xi Qi would¡¯ve be history. Wanyan would¡¯ve be the noblest surname of that territory. The great mountains and rivers would¡¯ve be Bei Zhou¡¯s. If it was truly like what Feng Cang said; then why did Wanyan Lie do this? Him doing this; wasn¡¯t it the same as breaking his ambition of uniting the four seas?
¡°What¡¯s the reason? Why did he do it?¡±
Murong Qi Qi recovered her calmness from the shock of just now. She believed Feng Cang. However, what¡¯s the reason behind this? What kind of reason let Wanyan Lie give up the great benefits and break one of his arms (meaning FX was one of his arms)? Feng Xie was his childhood friend. The two grew up together and their friendship was unbreakable like iron. Moreover, Feng Xie was his brother-inw and also the soul of Bei Zhou¡¯s army; why did Wanyan Lie want to destroy Feng Xie?
¡°If it wasn¡¯t because my disease acted up every wedding night; if it wasn¡¯t because those innocent women died at the right time and let me find some clues, I wouldn¡¯t have suspected Wanyan Lie at all. I also want to know the answer why he did it. My mother was his most beloved little sister. My father was his best friend. What let him use such a ruthless hand? Till now, I didn¡¯t get the secret behind this!¡±
Just the thought of the tragic deaths of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue and also that baby who hadn¡¯t been born yet, Feng Cang would clench his fists. He wished he could grab Wanyan Lie and torture him for answers!
¡°Then, did you investigate Murong Tai? If it truly was Wanyan Lie who sold out the military intelligence, Murong Tai should know. Besides, this thing was done by Murong Tai.¡±
¡°I couldn¡¯t find anything. When Nn Xin was teaching you at Murong fu5, he used the opportunity to search through the entire Murong fu. He even went to Murong Tai¡¯s basement, but he couldn¡¯t find any answers. It was like every trace had been wiped out, as if it had never happened. Perhaps, Murong Tai was just the sword and the handle was still in the hand of another person.¡±
¡°Wangye...,¡± Murong Qi Qi felt some heartache for the person in front of her. The truth turned out to be so cruel. In the eyes of outsiders, Feng Cang was at a high position, had the richness and glory and was very prominent; however, how would they know that behind him, there¡¯s this?!
As if he read Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind, Feng Cang once again pulled Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His head buried in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s neck.
¡°Qing Qing, originally, these were my problems. I me myself very much for bringing you into this whirlpool. It¡¯s just, you¡¯re so beautiful, I couldn¡¯t bear to let you go. I was afraid that after I handled all these matters, you would¡¯ve already be someone else¡¯s wife. With my possessiveness towards you, I would¡¯ve definitely used every way to get you back!¡±
Murong Qi Qi turned her hands and hugged Feng Cang. This man, she really didn¡¯t know what she should say, ¡°Wangye, you and I are husband and wife now. The husband has difficulties; as the wife, I should be at your side and help you solve the problems. Wangye is the most important person to me in this world. Now, you¡¯re saying such things, is it that you want to separate our feelings?¡±
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Feng Cang¡¯s voice tremble slightly. ¡°Sometimes, I feel that I¡¯m selfish. Since the moment Iy eyes on you, I wanted to monopolize you and let you be a private thing of mine. After all, in this world, there are very little things that could grab my attention and let me be fond of it. But...my world is tooplicated. I¡¯m very selfish for letting you face it with me!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words finally made Murong Qi Qi understand why his eyes always showed a trace of mncholy. So, it¡¯s because he¡¯d been carrying a blood hatred. That¡¯s why he couldn¡¯t be happy.
¡°Wangye!¡± Murong held Feng Cang¡¯s hand and firmly looked at him. ¡°Wangye, no matter when or where, no matter what happens, even if it¡¯s mounting a knife mountain or diving into a sea of fire, I would apany you! I am satisfied and pleased to be beside you. It¡¯s my voluntariness!¡±
¡°We already pledged undying love. Great general is my father. Princess Ming Yue is my mother. The revenge for the parents is bigger than the sky! We must avenge this revenge! We must not let them die with hatred!¡±
Murong Qi Qi said it like chopping the nail and slicing the iron and she sounded extremely heroic. Feng Cang seemed to have seen the lofty and proud woman singing under the moonlight. He was about to say something, when a sound came from outside the window.
Chopping the nail and slicing the iron: resolute and decisive
¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi took action at the same time. The two kicked open the window. They discovered one person standing on the wall. That person wore a doll mask. Murong Qi Qi was surprised, ¡°It¡¯s him! Wangye, the person at the hot spring that night was him!¡±
Actions were faster than words. A white figure flew to the person in ck. Feng Cang was already next to the person in ck. In just a moment, the two had already exchanged a dozen strokes.
¡°Not good, he wants to escape!¡± Murong Qi Qi jumped and wanted to give a helping hand, but unexpectedly, the other party threw something that gave out smoke. After the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the other party.
Chapter 112 The truth (2)
Chapter 112 The truth (2)
The uproar at Tingsong building disturbed the others. After everyone searched for the person in ck, it seemed like he had disappeared from the earth. Once again, he had left without a trace.
¡°Not only is this person very familiar with Fengyu vi, he¡¯s also very familiar with wangfu.¡±1
Murong Qi Qi said her opinion with certainty. Feng Cang also supported that opinion. That person was not only a bit familiar with wangfu. He even knew where the secret guards were posted and was able to escape smoothly. Who was he? He¡¯s so familiar with the wangfu; if he¡¯s his enemy, then wouldn¡¯t it be very bad? Besides, just now Feng Cang exchanged attacks with the person in ck, the two were equally strong. Who was he?
¡°Strengthen the defense of wangfu!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s expression was serious. Soon, it¡¯ll be the wedding. If that person in ck was Wanyan Lie¡¯s people, didn¡¯t that mean that Murong Qi Qi would be in danger?
Feng Cang didn¡¯t dare to continue to think about it. In the past, he didn¡¯t bother about those many idents, because they weren¡¯t the person in his heart. But this time, it¡¯s different. Murong Qi Qi was the treasure he¡¯d finally found. If something happened to her, then what should he do?
After Murong Qi Qi fell asleep, Feng Cang went to the study.
¡°Ruyi, during my wedding, the defense of the wangfu would be handed over to you! You need to guard very well. Not even a fly should you allow toe in! Nn Xin, let Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people monitor everyone suspicious in the capital! If you catch them, then be decisive! Jixiang, bring my tiger tally. Let the eagle troop stand by!¡±
Issuing threemands at the same time, made Jixiang, Ruyi and Nn Xin be aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Feng Cang¡¯s ck eyes shed a quiet cold light. Who was that person in ck? What¡¯s his motive foring to the wangfu? Why is he so familiar with the wangfu? Could he be Wanyan Lie¡¯s people? Countless of questions appeared in Feng Cang¡¯s mind. Not finding the answers made his heart feel impatient.
Calm down! Feng Cang tried his best to calm his heart. This matter was rted to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s safety. He couldn¡¯t not be nervous! Although he had enough confidence to protect Murong Qi Qi, but he still needed to be careful. If truly nothing could be done, then he could only let Bei Zhou change heavens (emperor)! If Wanyan Lie dared to harm Murong Qi Qi, he wouldn¡¯t mind moving his n ahead of time!
It was getting close to the twenty-eight. They still had no news of the person in ck. Feng Cang¡¯s expression seemed calm, but his heart was like a surging sea. There was no news of the person in ck; the wedding was getting near; he didn¡¯t know what kind of thing Wanyan Lie would do this time.
On the twenty seventh, Feng Cang sent Murong Qi Qi into the pce. ording to the etiquette of the two countries, he woulde at the twenty-eight to escort Murong Qi Qi to the wedding ceremony. ¡°Be careful!¡± Before Feng Cang left, he repeatedly reminded Murong Qi Qi. He wasn¡¯t assured about Murong Qi Qi being elsewhere. He specifically asked empress dowager Dongfang Lan to let Murong Qi Qi stay at her pce.
After Feng Cang left, Murong Qi Qi walked into Jinxuan pce. The moment she crossed the entrance, she saw Dongfang Lan.
Dongfang Lan had long known that Bei Zhou won this time¡¯s tournament. Although before she was a bit unwilling, but since it was a bet and Murong Qi Qi had won, she epted the oue. So, although her heart was a bit ufortable, she still acquiesced to this marriage.
Now, a day before the marriage, Feng Cang sending Murong Qi Qi to her Jinxuan pce, let this old empress dowager be a bit gratified. It seemed that in Feng Cang¡¯s heart, she, this imperial grandmother was still a person he could trust. At the same time, Dongfang Lan also clearly saw the position Murong Qi Qi stood in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. Otherwise, why would he entrust his bride to her?!
¡°Take a seat!¡± Dongfang Lan pointed to a chair beside her. The moment Murong Qi Qi went over, the poodle Little Snow jumped from Dongfang Lan¡¯s arms. It swaggered to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feet. ¡°Woof, woof, woof!¡± Little Snow wagged its tail and rubbed at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feet.
¡°It seemed that Little Snow likes you!¡± Dongfang Lan was a bit surprised. She had many grandsons and granddaughters, but she hadn¡¯t seen Little Snow be so intimate with any of them. It¡¯s the first time Murong Qi Qi came here and Little Snow already liked her so much. Maybe, this girl truly had something special.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know that because of this snowball-like poodle, Dongfang Lan¡¯s good feelings for her enhanced a lot. She squatted and gently touched Little Snow¡¯s head. Little Snow seemed to enjoy it. It narrowed its eyes and rubbed on Murong Qi Qi as if it wanted her to hold it.
¡°This child likes you!¡± The way Dongfang Lan looked at Little Snow was very gentle like the way she looked at her children.
Seeing Dongfang Lan¡¯s expression, Murong Qi Qi felt some sympathy for the old woman in front of her. Don¡¯t know how sad she was when the news of the tragedy came fifteen years ago. A white-haired person sending a ck-haired person away, how great should the psychological endurance be?
A white-haired person sending a ck-haired person away: to see one¡¯s child die before oneself
She heard that Bei Zhou¡¯s empress dowager believed in Buddhism. Since her daughter and son-inw passed away, she spent her days in the temple. Presumably, Dongfang Lan liked the quietness of the Buddha temple. Perhaps, whenever, she saw the bustling capital, it would make her sadder and miss her daughter and son-inw even more. Presumably, fasting in the Buddha temple and praying for her daughter, son-inw and her unborn granddaughter would let her have a peace of mind!
Murong Qi Qi hugged Little Snow and sat in front of Dongfang Lan.
Since getting to know that the culprit of the tragedy of fifteen years ago was Wanyan Lie, looking at Dongfang Lan again, Murong Qi Qi pitied this old woman very much. Presumably, Feng Cang didn¡¯t tell his imperial grandmother the truth! If an elder person got to know the truth, she feared that she (DL) wouldn¡¯t be able to take it even more!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak and only slowly rubbed Little Snow. Dongfang Lan had been looking at Murong Qi Qi. When Qing Gu brought the dessert and tea, Dongfang Lan suddenly said, ¡°Alike!¡±
¡°Miss, what did you say are alike?¡± Qing Gu poured tea for Dongfang Lan.
¡°Qing Gu, before, didn¡¯t aijia2 say that princess Zhao Yang¡¯s eyes were like someone¡¯s? Today, seeing her holding Little Snow, aijia remembered. In the past, Ming Yue also held Big Snow like that!¡±
The Big Snow Dongfang Lan was talking about was the grandmother of Little Snow in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s arms. She was also a snow-white poodle dog.
After listening to Dongfang Lan, Qing Gu also looked carefully at Murong Qi Qi. She also nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, ah! After miss said it, this ve also feels that princess Zhao Yang¡¯s demeanor, especially that pair of eyes, is very much simr to that of our princess Ming Yue! So alike!¡±
The words of this master and servant reached Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears, making her startled. Her eyes looked like princess Ming Yue¡¯s? At this time, Murong Qi Qi thought about how that night, when the person in ck saw her, he called her ¡®Ming Yue¡¯ once. Could he also be referring that her eyes looked like princess Ming Yue¡¯s?
Dongfang Lan stared at Murong Qi Qi. Her eyes slowly filled with tears.
¡°Aijia only had one daughter, Ming Yue. Since young, she was the treasure of aijia¡¯s palm. It was truly like, keeping her, fearing that she would damage; touching her, fearing that she would break! Aijia¡¯s Ming Yue was particrly sensible. From a very young age, she knew how to be concerned about another. In this world, the person aijia misses the most is not the former emperor but Ming Yue...¡±
Don¡¯t know why, but Dongfang Lan suddenly felt like talking. She looked at Murong Qi Qi and slowly talked about Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s story.
¡°Aijia was exceptionally happy when Ming Yue married Feng Xie. They were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Feng Xie had a good personality and strong ability. Aijia liked this son-inw very much. I wished from the bottom of my heart for them to be together for a whole lifetime, be happy and grow old together.¡±
¡°But fate was ying with people! Aijia didn¡¯t think they would die at Yandang mountain!¡± Talking till here, in Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes appeared hate.
¡°Aijia knows this matter has nothing to do with you, but just the thought of you being Murong Tai¡¯s daughter, makes aijia be unhappy. Even now, a breath is stuck in aijia!¡± Dongfang Lan touched her chest and said, ¡°But, Cang er3 likes you! Aijia can see it! It¡¯s unfortunate enough that the child has lost his parents. If aijia continues to object, then it¡¯s too miserable for Cang er! Aijia doesn¡¯t want to separate you two!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s tears fell when speaking about such emotional things. Murong Qi Qi don¡¯t know why, but seeing the old woman in front of her crying, made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart feel very ufortable. She stood up and walked to Dongfang Lan. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears off Dongfang Lan¡¯s face.
¡°Grandmother, don¡¯t be sad! I, together with wangye,4 will be filial to you!¡±
A ¡®grandmother¡¯ made Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart full with emotions. And Murong Qi Qi wiping away her tears, made thest straw of this old empress dowager melt down, ¡°That year, when the former emperor passed away, Ming Yue was also like this at aijia¡¯s side; wiping away aijia¡¯s tears andforting aijia. She said, ¡®Empress mother, Feng Xie and I will be filial to you, don¡¯t be sad anymore¡¯...¡±
Recalling the memories of the past, all sadness and loneliness emerged in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart. Murong Qi Qi had opened her memories of the past. That beautiful and unforgettable past appeared in front of Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes. When Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figures oveid each other, it made Dongfang Lan dazed.
¡°Ming Yue! Ming Yue!¡± Dongfang Lan¡¯s trembling hands touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, ¡°Ming Yue, do you know how much empress mother misses you?! My Ming Yue...¡±
Dongfang Lan held Murong Qi Qi. Tears fell. Her toughness of all these years copsed in front of Murong Qi Qi, leaving only the mournful heart of a loving mother who missed her daughter.
Knowing that Dongfang Lan was sad, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t move. She let the elder hold her. She gently patted Dongfang Lan¡¯s back. This elder was truly too pitiful! Till now, she was kept in the dark!
Dongfang Lan¡¯s sadness made Murong Qi Qi feel heartache for her. However, she hated Wanyan Lie, who¡¯d caused these consequences, even more. How could this person be so cruel and caused a family to fall apart?! Why did he do it?
Dongfang Lan cried for a long time. So long, she forgot the time. In the end, the elder was tired and fell in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s arms. When Murong Qi Qi and Qing Gu moved Dongfang Lan to the bed, there were still tears in the old empress dowager¡¯s eyes.
¡°Princess, it was hard on you!¡± Qing Gu looked somewhat apologetic at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s shoulder, where her clothes had be wet because of Dongfang Lan¡¯s tears, ¡°Tomorrow is your wedding to wangye, today...¡±
¡°Aunt Qing, you don¡¯t need to be so polite! The empress dowager just evoked deep feelings of the past! Besides, she¡¯s wangye¡¯s grandmother. In the future, she¡¯ll also be my elder. This is what I should do...,¡± Murong Qi Qi once again wiped away the tears for Dongfang Lan and looked once deeply at this elder, ¡°Aunt Qing, trouble you to look after elder empress dowager!¡±
Murong Qi Qi retreated and closed the door. Dongfang Lan opened her eyes. Her eyes were red. ¡°Qing Gu!¡±
¡°Miss, I¡¯m here!¡±
¡°Qing Gu, find the phoenix crown and red cape Ming Yue used when she married! Give it to this child! Let her marry tomorrow in Ming Yue¡¯s clothes!¡±
¡°Miss...,¡± Qing Gu knew the importance of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s phoenix crown and red cape in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart. Now, she gave it to Murong Qi Qi; could she had recognized her (MQQ) identity (granddaughter-inw)?
¡°Aijia is already old. My heart shouldn¡¯t be so small. She¡¯s a good girl! A good girl!¡± After ordering these, Dongfang Lan was a bit tired. She slowly closed her eyes.
This was the first time Murong Qi Qi had left Feng Cang. Although the two of them didn¡¯t have any inappropriate behavior and didn¡¯t sleep in the same bed, but they had seen each other every day. Moreover, at night, the two¡¯s ces were not far from each other.
Today was thest day that she¡¯ll be single. Murong Qi Qi needed to stay in the unfamiliar Jinxuan pce alone. She needed to wait for Feng Cang toe pick her up tomorrow. Murong Qi Qi was somewhat unused to this.
Murong Qi Qi opened the wooden box in front of her. Inside the box was the wedding dress Li Qiu Shui had sewn for her before she left Xi Qi. Tomorrow, she would be able to wear it...
When she unfolded the dress, she smelled a trace of a strange fragrance. It smelled like lilies. She smelled carefully. This fragrance seemed toe from the red wedding dress. No! It¡¯s not lilies, it¡¯s some kind of love drug. If it wasn¡¯t because she had an understanding of these drugs, she wouldn¡¯t have noticed the difference.
Murong Qi Qi was very surprised that Li Qiu Shui had actually put fragrance on the dress. Why? Why did she do it? Could it be to boost her and Feng Cang¡¯s wedding night? But why go through so much trouble? Moreover, this fragrance was different from the ordinary aphrodisiac fragrances. It¡¯s harmful to the human body! Could it be that Li Qiu Shui didn¡¯t know this?
Recalling those strange words Li Qiu Shui said before she (MQQ) left, the more Murong Qi Qi felt that there¡¯s something strange about Li Qiu Shui. She immediately put this wedding dress away.
Just as Murong Qi Qi was about to go find Su Mei and Su Yue, a person in ck appeared in front of her. It was that person with the doll mask again.
In Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand appeared two golden threads. She was about to attack the person, but unexpectedly, the person turned and ran away. This time, she shouldn¡¯t let him run away so easily! Murong Qi Qi chased right behind him.
This person seemed to deliberately keep a distance from Murong Qi Qi, but also didn¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi lose sight of him. Murong Qi Qi chased the person in ck. They flew in the quiet night. The person in ck turned a lot of corners with Murong Qi Qi. In the end, he jumped over a wall of a courtyard. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t even think and also jumped.
Here was a side pce chamber of Jinxuan pce. Murong Qi Qi saw the person in ck enter the side chamber, so she also entered.
The chamber was very clean. A long silk formed a curtain which hung in the chamber. Like before, the person in ck disappeared again without a trace. In the whole chamber, not even a shadow of the person in ck could be seen.
Who is this person in ck? Murong Qi Qi touched the golden threads in her hands. She carefully looked at everything in the chamber. When she turned, she saw a painting on the wall.
¡°Beloved daughter Ming Yue...¡± In front was a ck tablet. Murong Qi Qi first read the words on the tablet. Then she raised her head and looked at the painting.
When she saw the woman in the painting, Murong Qi Qi was stunned. This person is Wanyan Ming Yue? Why, why did Wanyan Ming Yue look so much like her? It¡¯s exactly the same!
Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but reach out her hand to touch the person in the painting. That woman was sitting smilingly at the window while reading a book. Her expression was graceful. Her facial features were perfect. The painting carried the name ¡®Beloved wife Ming Yue¡¯ and with the inscription ¡®Feng Xie¡¯.
¡°Wanyan Ming Yue! If you¡¯re Wanyan Ming Yue, then who am I?¡± Murong Qi Qi took down the Water Moon Mirror while looking at the woman in the painting. A thought appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind, but she didn¡¯t dare to think any further nor did she dare to verify it.
If she¡¯s Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s and Feng Xie¡¯s daughter, then why did she appear in Murong fu5 and live as Murong Tai¡¯s daughter? When Wanyan Ming Yue died, the child in her belly was already seven months old. If Wanyan Ming Yue truly died, then how did she (MQQ) survive?
No wonder when Li Qiu Shui saw her face, she said alike. Was she (LQS) saying that she (MQQ) looked like Wanyan Ming Yue? Who is that person in ck? Did he know something? That¡¯s why he called ¡®Ming Yue¡¯ and also brought her (MQQ) here?
C61 was the conversation between LQS and MQQ
No wonder she felt Dongfang Lan was familiar when she first saw her and Dongfang Lan also thought her demeanor and eyes looked like Wanyan Ming Yue! If her true identity is Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, then could all of these be exined?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s legs went soft. Full of sadness, she sat on the ground. Looking at the beauty in the painting, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell.
If everything was true, she found her biological parents. She should be happy, but if everything was true, then what should happen to her and Feng Cang? They just pledged their undying love and vowed to love for eternity; now, why did such a change appear?
The chamber was cold and deserted. The two candles beside the tablet were silently crying. The orange light elongated Murong Qi Qi¡¯s shadow.
What to do? The always self-proimed clever Murong Qi Qi also didn¡¯t know how to deal with such a problem. Return to Nan Lin wangfu, find Feng Cang and get to know the truth clearly? However, what could she do after getting everything clear? If she rifies her identity, then it also meant she would need to separate from him forever. In the future, they couldn¡¯t be together anymore!
At this time, Murong Qi Qi wished she was an ostrich, bury her head in the wide wings and forget about all troubles. At this moment, she hated that person with the doll mask who brought her over earlier. Why did he open this cruel truth? Could it be when after seeing her heart-piercing sad, he would be happy?
Since he¡¯s someone who knew everything, then why didn¡¯t he appear sooner? Why did he tell her the truth after she had fallen head over heels in love? Why was this person so ruthless?!
A sense of helplessness appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. How she wished she could cry in Feng Cang¡¯s arms! However, what¡¯s the use of crying? If Feng Cang was her biological big brother, their love could only go till here and no longer continue.
Whether it was the past or present life, even when encountering many difficulties, Murong Qi Qi had always been strong and faced everything smilingly. However, the thing had happened too suddenly today. So sudden that she simply couldn¡¯t ept this result.
What to do? Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind was a mess. Retreat or leave?
Feng Cang was in close proximity, but she was unable to cross the sea between them. The day when the truthes out, they would be ruined and fall from grace!
Should she leave? Leave here and hide far away. Leave Feng Cang, leave this love? How could she be able to do that? How would she be willing to cut these feelings and give up on this love?
Chapter 113 The hard choice (1)
Chapter 113 The hard choice (1)
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t remember how she got back. When she returned to her room, the horizon had already turned white.
Su Mei and Su Yue had long woke up and searched everywhere for her. When they saw the somewhat dazed Murong Qi Qi, the two quickly approached her, ¡°Miss, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Su Yue saw that Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t wearing many clothes. She immediately put her hand on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead, ¡°Fortunately, you don¡¯t have a fever!¡±
¡°Miss, where did you go? Today is the wedding, why did you still go out?!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue, one left and one right, escorted Murong Qi Qi inside. Seeing the color of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face wasn¡¯t good, Su Mei immediately arranged people to bring hot water so that Murong Qi Qi could take a flower bubble bath.
Only when the warm water wrapped around her body, did Murong Qi Qi regain her senses. She raised her head and looked at the furnishings. Only then did she remember that this was Jinxuan pce and today was her wedding. However, what should she do now?
Leave? Escape far away from these problems, escape her identity, escape Feng Cang¡¯s love and leaving Feng Cang to bear a wedding without a bride? Let him once again be the object of ridicule of everyone? Let him crazily look for her and then slowly be depressed because he couldn¡¯t find her? Was it good like this?
The thought of Feng Cang being affectionate with some little mncholy eyes, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart went soft. Tears fell down. She couldn¡¯t be ruthless like that. She couldn¡¯t do it! That¡¯s the man she used her heart to love...No matter what happens, she couldn¡¯t only think about her feelings and leave him; letting him bear all of that alone would be too cruel! She couldn¡¯t do it!
But if she chose to stay, the wedding was about to begin; she¡¯s his biological little sister, ah! Presumably, in this world, there was never a brother and a sister who wed each other. Would they be able to bear the impact it brought?
Murong Qi Qi hid her whole body in the water. With ¡®gudugudu¡¯ sounds, she spat out bubbles. The water isted her from the outside world. Now, she once again be that little girl who hid in the pool in the past.
¡°Yi Lian, you need to follow your heart, respect your heart, ah!¡± Adopted father¡¯s voice sounded in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. Yi Lian, this name who hadn¡¯t appeared in a long time. Adopted father¡¯s voice made Murong Qi Qi wake up once again.
Yi Lian was her name before she time-traveled
Follow her heart, respect her heart; those were the things adopted father often taught her. What should she do now? Howe she lost her reasoning because of this?
Murong Qi Qi broke the water whileing out. Drops of water were on her proud eyebrows. They were translucent like crystals. What happened to her? She was actually trapped by this problem for a whole night. She¡¯s Yi Lian, she¡¯s the time-traveled Yi Lian! She¡¯s not the Murong Qi Qi from this world!
Even if the person in the painting is Wanyan Ming Yue, she¡¯s the mother of this body, not hers. Moreover, her identity hasn¡¯t been determined yet. How could she sentence her and Feng Cang¡¯s love to death just because of one person in ck and one painting?! This isn¡¯t her personality and also not her style!
Even from a physiological point of view, if she truly is Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s and Feng Xie¡¯s daughter, if she truly is Feng Cang¡¯s sister; from physiological point, why not cut off this love and get familial love instead?
That man, if she couldn¡¯t stay at his side as his wife, then bing the only one in this world who has the same blood as him is also a proud and happy thing, ah! Why should she leave?
She couldn¡¯t let go of Feng Cang. If she couldn¡¯t be his bride, then she would be his little sister for a whole life!
She hasn¡¯t cured the poisons in Feng Cang yet. Theirmon enemy is still alive and living well. The revenge hasn¡¯t started yet. If she avoided the problem by leaving, then on what ground would Feng Cang stand on? What should Feng Cang do then?
If the two of them couldn¡¯t stay together, then she would guard him and watch him be happy. One person being happy is better than two being sad! At least, he¡¯s safe and happy. Then she would also be happy! Loving a person, isn¡¯t it also wishing him/her happiness?! She loves Feng Cang; so, she must protect his happiness!
When Murong Qi Qi came out of the bath, her spirit seemed to havepletely changed. At this time, the old pce maid appointed by the court to do her make-up had already arrived at Jinxuan pce. Murong Qi Qi sat in front of the mirror and let the old pce maid do her face.
¡°Princess¡¯s hair is so beautiful!¡± The mistress, who had been especially invited to do Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair, gentlybed her hair. Her hands were extremely flexible. In just a moment, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair was beautifully taken care of.
¡°Princess, this is the crown and jewelries the empress dowager especially let me send over. It was used by princess Ming Yue before.¡± Qing Gu let the servant bring Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s wedding dress and jewelries. ¡°Empress dowager said to gift this dress and jewelries to princess as princess¡¯ wedding gift!¡±
¡°Thanking aunt Qing!¡± Touching the wedding dress, for the first time, Murong Qi Qi felt so close to Wanyan Ming Yue. ¡°So beautiful!¡±
¡°You and princess Ming Yue¡¯s size are simr. It should fit very well when you wear it.¡±
While talking, Su Mei and Su Yue already helped Murong Qi Qi put on the wedding dress.
¡°It fits so well! So beautiful!¡± Qing Gu¡¯s eyes were filled with amazement, ¡°That year when princess Ming Yue married, she was also this age. The more this ve looks, the more familiar this ve feels to princess, making this ve couldn¡¯t help but think of princess Ming Yue...¡±
Speaking till here, Qing Gu¡¯s eyes were wet. She quickly turned her face and wiped her tears. ¡°Look at this ve, it¡¯s obviously princess¡¯s big day and this ve is evoking sad feelings. This ve really shouldn¡¯t have! Princess, lord already entered the pce. He first went to greet the emperor and empress. He¡¯lle in a while! This ve would first go back to empress dowager. Princess, you prepare first!¡±
Wangye became lord (depending on the content) in spoken sentences and prince of first rank is the title
Wangfei would bedy (depending on the content) in spoken sentences and princess of first rank is the title
When Feng Cang arrived, Murong Qi Qi had entered the main hall of Jinxuan pce. Looking at the Murong Qi Qi dressed fully in red slowly walking towards him, Feng Cang stopped in his tracks. ¡°Qing Qing...¡±
Although he didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi for just one night, but Feng Cang felt like it had been a long time. He hoped that in the future, there wouldn¡¯t be such a separation anymore! Only when she¡¯s at his side, could his heart settle down.
Feng Cang looked affectionately at Murong Qi Qi. He watched her walk step by step from far away to where he stood. When she arrived in front of him, Feng Cang reached out his left hand, ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful today!¡±
Facing Feng Cang, all the worries and anxiety were swept away. There was nothing that would move her more than his eyes full of love. The fear, confusion and the mind which wanted to retreat, facing that pair of sincere eyes, all disappeared.
¡°My lord, today you¡¯re also very...tempting.¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words left her mouth, she heard theughter of Su Mei and Su Yue behind her. Who would use ¡®tempting¡¯ to describe a man?! However, today, Feng Cang was indeed very tempting.
Usually, this devilish beauty only wears white. Because of his own charming and enchanting appearance, the white could y down his devilish beautifully appearance and let him get the feeling of being a celestial. But today, this bright red set off Feng Cang¡¯s devilish beautifully face uniquely like it¡¯s one of his kind. Especially that long and narrow phoenix eyes which were full of sparkles. People couldn¡¯t help but be drunk in them when their gaze touch.
¡°Qing Qing, if you continue to look at me, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t be able to hold myself and kiss you here.¡±
Feng Cang leaned to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and whispered those words while also blew some heated air in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear.
Itchy! Numbing! Murong Qi Qi quickly blocked Feng Cang. At this time, her transparent small face became red. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart was beating very fast.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi being shy, Feng Cang was satisfied. Heughed once and pulled Murong Qi Qi into the main hall. They greeted the empress dowager.
¡°Good! Very good!¡± Seeing her daughter¡¯s clothes fitting Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body so well, Dongfang Lan nodded and praised, ¡°This bride is so beautiful! The groom is also handsome! Very great!¡±
Speaking till here, inexplicably, Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes got wet, ¡°Little Cang,e here! Qi Qi, can this empress dowager calls you like this? You alsoe here!¡±
Cang er became Little Cang
When the two were in front of Dongfang Lan, held their hands together, ¡°Seeing you two, it¡¯s like this empress dowager saw that appearance of Ming Yue when she married! If Ming Yue and Feng Xie knew in the underworld, seeing you two, they would certainly be happy! You two must live happily and let this empress dowager hold a great grandson soon!¡±
¡°Grandmother, I¡¯ll do my best.¡± When Feng Cang said that, he specifically looked once at Murong Qi Qi. Dongfang Lan saw the two casting ¡®amorous¡¯ nces at each other; in her heart, she was happier.
Dongfang Lan pulled down a phoenix bracelet on her left hand and put it on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrist.
¡°Originally, it was a pair. However, this empress dowager gave the dragon bracelet to Ming Yue. Only the phoenix bracelet is left. Today, this empress dowager gives it to you! This empress dowager wishes for you to grow old together and be in love for a hundred years!¡±
¡°Thank you, grandmother...¡± The harshness and sharpness disappeared from the first time she (MQQ) saw her, disappeared from the elder in front of her. Only affection and love were left in those eyes.
Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang knelt in front of Dongfang Lan. They bowed respectfully to this elder. Until the two were far away, did the tears fell from Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes. Ming Yue, ah! Bless and protect the children! Let them live happily!
A royal wedding is different from the wedding ofmoners.
First, Feng Cang need to take Murong Qi Qi to go pay their respect and pay their gratitude Wanyan Lie. Then, they need to bow to the heaven and earth in front of the witness appointed by the court. They also need to attend the banquet the pce prepared for them. Finally, when it¡¯s night, they could go back to prince¡¯s mansion. And inside the pce, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t need to wear a red veil like the ordinary girls. It was a lot more convenient like this.
¡°Gifted schr, beautifuldy! Talented man and a beautiful woman!¡± When the two saw Wanyan Lie, his first sentence was a praise to them. ¡°Good! Very good!¡±
Gifted schr, beautifuldy: a pair of ideal lovers
Talented man and a beautiful woman: ideal couple
That Feng Cang married Murong Qi Qi made the empress¡¯s and consort De¡¯s hearts rx. The two repeatedly ttered beside Wanyan Lie, ¡°Princess is so beautiful today!¡± Laughingly Li Bing let servants bring the gift she prepared for Murong Qi Qi. ¡°I wish for you to be happily in love and give birth to a child soon!¡±
The gift of empress Li Bing was a pair of exquisite jade bracelet. She immediately got Wanyan Lie¡¯s praise. Seeing that Li Bing was so generous, consort De, Lin Ke Xin also didn¡¯t want to be outdone. Her gift was a jade carved goddess of childbirth. This jade goddess¡¯s whole body was white as milk without any trace of ws. Coupled with an excellent reputation, the people praised it.
¡°The more sons, the more happiness! Great!¡± A ¡®great¡¯ from Wanyan Lie let Lin Ke Xin be happy. She nced once provocatively at Li Bing with a face full of pride.
After that, one after another sent their gifts. Murong Qi Qi epted them all. She let Su Mie and Su Yue took them over.
¡°Emperor, you haven¡¯t given your gift yet?¡± Lin Ke Xin¡¯s soft voice had a trace of whining in it. These past two days, Wanyan Lie stayed at her Jingxin pce. Having the moisture of a man, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s face be more moving. She¡¯s obviously over forty and still whined like young people, making Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help but get goosebumps.
¡°Mm, this emperor bestows princess Zhao Yang the title of a first rank princess! She doesn¡¯t need to bow at this emperor and can go in and out of the pce without an order. Award her with a yellow buttoned mandarin jacket and she would enjoy the same power as the Nan Lin prince of first rank!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s words made the whole hall turn into a fried pot. What did this mean? Murong Qi Qi, a woman, enjoying the same power as the Nan Lin prince of first rank? Feng Cang controlled the army of Bei Zhou. When seeing Wanyan Lie, he didn¡¯t need to bow. His status was the same as a prince born by the current emperor. Now, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s treatment surpassed crown princess Yu Shi Shi. Like this, does it mean that Wanyan Lie wants to change the crown prince?
The emperor¡¯s mind was something these people couldn¡¯t guess. They could only exchange a nce with each other. The courageous ones spoke one or two sentences. Only those princes were still sitting uprightly. No one knew what they were thinking, but on the surface, they looked calm.
The only one who exposed his real thoughts was Wanyan Hong. He clenched his cup. The veins in his hand were exposed. After seeing Wanyan Hong¡¯s hand, the Yu Shi Shi beside him shuddered a bit. A drop of wine sshed on his clothes.
¡°Your highness...,¡± Yu Shi Shi didn¡¯t know what to say. Although this man isn¡¯t the one she loves, but their interests were tied together. Now, Wanyan Lie was being like this. This was undoubtedly damaging the interest of the prince which also meant damaging her interest. At this point, she must stand in the same camp as Wanyan Hong.
¡°This crown prince is fine.¡± Wanyan Hong stared with gritted teeth at Feng Cang¡¯s back. Why do you need to fight with me over everything? Why does imperial father treat you better than me? Why do all my stuff be yours in the end? Why?!
Wanyan Hong refuse to ept and refuse to admit defeat. The one who had the same opinion was second prince Wanyan Yi. If there was no Feng Cang, if there was only he and Wanyan Hong, then he would certainly be better than Wanyan Hong and would be a great monarch.
However, now there¡¯s Feng Cang. Besides, imperial father¡¯s love for Feng Cang is far greater than any of his princes. This made a -never before sense of crisis- emerge in second prince. Then he looked at his imperial big brother Wanyan Hong beside him, who had a gloomy face, an idea emerged in Wanyan Yi¡¯s mind.
No matter how he and Wanyan Hong fought, the two of them have the blood of Wanyan n. At most, it¡¯s an internal strife. But Feng Cang, this prince of a different surname, now has a status and power above them. Should they at this time first go against the external person, get rid of Feng Cang and make him a settled matter?
Towards Wanyan Lie¡¯s ¡®grace¡¯, Murong Qi Qi was ¡®wild with joy¡¯. She immediately showed her gratitude to the imperial grace. Wanyan Lie looked smilingly at the pair of lovers in front of him. He was very satisfied with them.
At a side, the people of Xi Qi who came to celebrate; after seeing Murong Qi Qi, everyone felt a different taste in their hearts.
If before, Shangguan Wu Ji couldn¡¯t let go; now seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smile full of happiness, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart felt a taste called ¡®release¡¯. Perhaps, before, he just didn¡¯t want to admit it; admit that another person could give her happiness. However, seeing her smile like a flower, those heavy thoughts in his heart hadpletely melted down.
¡°He would give her happiness.¡± As someone who experienced the same thing, how could Li Yun Qing not know Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s thoughts? His (SWJ) eyes couldn¡¯t fool people. Besides, Li Yun Qing also walked step by step out of this kind of feelings.
¡°I hope so!¡± Shangguan Wu Ji drank the wine in one gulp. ¡°If Feng Cang dares to betray her, I would definitely not let Feng Cang off!¡±
¡°Not only you, I also wouldn¡¯t!¡± Li Yun Qing poured wine for Shangguan Wu Ji. He also filled his own cup. The two once again drank the wine as if they made amitment at the same time.
Longze Jing Tian heard the two¡¯s words clearly. So, they have such thoughts...It was just, they could put it down and easily and freely watch her be someone else¡¯s bride, but he couldn¡¯t do it! In Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart, a voice was shouting that she belongs to him! Murong Qi Qi is your princess of first rank!
This voice had been entrenched in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart for a long time! The things Feng Cang could give her, whether it was power, status or wealth, he could also give. As for a true heart, his is no less than Feng Cang¡¯s! He¡¯s unwilling to reconcile with this!
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s gaze had been stuck on Murong Qi Qi, but he didn¡¯t know that there were two women who looked at him with the same infatuated eyes.
One was Murong Qing Lian. Presumably, things you couldn¡¯t get were always the best. So, no matter how cold Longze Jing Tian treated her, she still had fantasies about him. In her eyes, a man who doesn¡¯t casually fall in love, was someone who knew what true love was. If she could get the love of such a man, she¡¯d certainly be happy her whole life.
The other one was Wanyan Bao Zhu. During this period, she¡¯d almost been tortured to death by Wanyan Hong.
That sicko, the moment he had some leisure time, he would let peoplee invite her over, saying he wished ¡®to deepen their sibling love¡¯. In fact, it was to bully her. Her pitiful backyard hadn¡¯t healed yet, blood was dripping again from it. Even now, she couldn¡¯t sit well. The moment it touched the chair, there would be a burning pain. She could only sit on one side to let all the weight fall on that side. When that side turned stiff, she would change to the other side.
Backyard: another ng for anus
In Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart, the only one who could save her was Longze Jing Tian. If Bei Zhou and Xi Qi formed a marriage alliance, she would be able to sessfully marry Longze Jing Tian. She wouldn¡¯t have to endure that sicko Wanyan Hong¡¯s torture anymore.
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s gaze was locked on Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Bao Zhu saw that very clearly. However, in her eyes, Murong Qi Qi had already be the Nan Lin princess of first rank. She no longer was her rival in love. The only one who could be her obstruction was Murong Qing Lian.
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s status was higher than hers at Murong family. If Murong Tai asked for this marriage first, perhaps Longze Yu would agree. No! she wouldn¡¯t let Murong Qing Lian take her ce. She is the Jing princess of first rank and in the future, she¡¯ll be Xi Qi¡¯s empress!
Thinking till here, her backyard hurt again. Her mouth couldn¡¯t help but pull a bit. She looked at a side where Wanyan Hong was sitting with a gloomy face. Since today was just a rare opportunity, why didn¡¯t she destroy Murong Qing Lian?! Let her be Wanyan Hong¡¯s woman. Then, this trouble would be solved! It would let Wanyan Hong have a new person and let go of her and because of this, she could also form a pair with Longze Jing Tian and break away from this horrid ce!
Wanyan Bao Zhu was thinking of how to harm Murong Qing Lian. At this side, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi had already went to the ancestral shrine to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and engrave Murong Qi Qi¡¯s name in Feng n¡¯s genealogical record. Later, they returned to the pce and worshipped the heaven and earth under Wanyan Lie¡¯s guide.
At this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head was covered with a red veil. It was hazy which was exceptionally beautiful. Feng Cang¡¯s hand held a red ribbon and led Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Heaven and earth!¡±
¡°Two worships!¡±
¡°Three thanks to the emperor!¡±
¡°Bow between husband and wife!¡±
When bowing to each other, Murong Qi Qi looked at Feng Cang through the red veil. Suddenly, she had a feeling that she was dreaming. If that thing didn¡¯t happen yesterday, she would¡¯ve certainly been the happiest and the most blessed bride in the world. However, now there was a thorn in her heart. It was not deep nor shallow, always stimting her, making her unable to face the matter calmly!
Murong Qi Qi slowly bowed while facing Feng Cang. In her heart, she felt grateful towards this man. Grateful that he let her understand the meaning of reincarnation. Before meeting Feng Cang, she didn¡¯t understand why she reincarnated. After meeting this man, she understood. She came here for him. Crossing a millennium only for Feng Cang.
Oh God! Let me be selfish for one time. Do as if I don¡¯t know anything. I only want to be his bride. Even if it¡¯s only in name. Only once, once is enough! Murong Qi Qi prayed in her heart.
¡°The ritual finished...,¡± the etiquette officer¡¯s long voice seemed to have prated through a century before it reached Murong Qi Qi. So slow, it made her flustered for fear that something would happen in the middle.
¡°Congrattions, cousin brother and cousin-inw!¡± Wanyan Kang was the first one toe congratte Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Cousin-inw, in the future, we¡¯re one family. You need to help convince Su Mei a bit for this little brother, ah!¡±
Chapter 114 The hard choice (2)
Chapter 114 The hard choice (2)
Wanyan Kang¡¯s arrival made the whole atmosphere be rxed.
¡°Wangfei1, congrattions!¡± Bai Yi Yue also came forward to congratte.
More and more people came forward to congratte Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. Feng Cang was very happy. His face showed a blissful smile. Many people hade to congratte. In the end, Feng Cang grabbed Wanyan Kang to help him. He himself escorted Murong Qi Qi to take their leave at Wanyan Lie¡¯s. They hurriedly left the pce and returned to Nan Lin wangfu2.
¡°Empress mother, see how impatient this child is. Perhaps, next year, you will be able to hold a great-grandchild!¡± Wanyan Lie supported Dongfang Lan, ¡°Now, you can be at ease!¡±
¡°To be or not to be at ease, still need to wait till tomorrow morning to know.¡± Dongfang Lan was happy for Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang, but the thought of those women who¡¯d died in the past, she frowned and was very worried.
Feng Cang had finally encountered a woman he loves. If Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fate was the same as those women, then wouldn¡¯t Feng Cang be ruined at one stroke? As a maternal grandmother, Dongfang Lan¡¯s love towards this only grandson (from her daughter¡¯s side) was very evident.
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words made Wanyan Lie pause a moment. Then heughed, ¡°Empress mother, zhen3 feels that Nan Lin wangfei is a blessed person. Nothing would happen this time, don¡¯t worry!¡±
¡°Mm! If it truly could be the same as what emperor said, then one of aijia¡¯s 4 wishes would be fulfilled. At that time, aijia would still go to the temple. This pce is too noisy. Aijia is already old and can¡¯t stand liveliness. Aijia likes it to be quiet.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you just return? Empress mother, you should stay at the pce, so this son can show you filial piety! Since the death of Ming Yue, you have been depressed. You only stayed a few days in the pce. Zhen, as a son, feels guilty.¡±
The ashamed look on Wanyan Lie¡¯s face made Dongfang Lanugh, ¡°Emperor, you¡¯re a monarch of a country. The affairs of the country are what you should care about the most. Aijia, ah, is old and likes the quiet. Aijia¡¯s mood will be good when looking at the green hills and clear water, small dogs and small birds! You should just let aijia go!¡±
Dongfang Lan already said it like that, Wanyan Lie could only nod and agree. Seeing Dongfang Lan¡¯s aged back, Wanyan Lie revealed a strange smile, ¡°Jing De, is everything prepared?¡±
¡°Answering emperor, everything is prepared.¡± Jing De stood behind Wanyan Lie with a bowed back.
¡°Let¡¯s go! Arrange to go to Long Autumn pce!¡±
The original pce banquet prepared for Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wedding didn¡¯t be cold and cheerless because the main characters had left. Instead, it became livelier.
Murong Qing Lian drank some wine. Her small face was flushed like a red apple. She looked at Longze Jing Tian who had been drinking to drown his sorrows. Her mood also went down because of this. Why couldn¡¯t he see her? Murong Qi Qi was already married, why did he still need to torture himself like this?!
Murong Qing Lian really wanted to use herself to warm up Longze Jing Tian, but the other party didn¡¯t appreciate it. He didn¡¯t even give her a single nce. This made Murong Qing Lian sullen. At this time, someone who looked like a pce maid came to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s side, ¡°Miss Murong, someone let this ve bring this note to you!¡±
The pce maid put down the note and left. Murong Qing Lian opened the note. On it appeared a string of familiar handwriting. ¡°Fourth little sister, help! See you outside the hall where the flower path is, Murong Xin Lian.¡±
If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Qin Lian was familiar with Murong Xin Lian¡¯s handwriting, that she would¡¯ve believed this was a prank. However, she had fought for so many years with Murong Xin Lian; she knew Murong Xin Lian¡¯s handwriting; so, the moment she saw the note, she became startled.
Murong Xin Lian mixed into here? This made Murong Qing Lian very surprised. Howe that woman is still not dead? She became like that and is still alive? Besides, she¡¯s in Bei Zhou¡¯s pce? Truly incredible!
Murong Qing Lian looked around once but didn¡¯t see Murong Xin Lian. She felt curious and even more surprised.
If she could catch Murong Xin Lian and hand her over to Longze Jing Tian to let him deal with her (MXL), then wouldn¡¯t she (MQL) attract some good feelings from Longze Jing Tian? After all, it was Murong Xin Lian who threw away all of Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face. If she catches Murong Xin Lian, the ¡®wanted criminal¡¯ who¡¯d escaped without a trace, maybe then her wish (of getting with LJT) would be able toe true!
This was a happy event that had ¡®dropped from the sky¡¯. It seemed that she was destined to be Longze Jing Tian¡¯s bride! Murong Xin Lian would be her gift to Longze Jing Tian!
Thinking till here, Murong Qing Lian stood up. She pretended to go take some fresh air and left the hall.
When Murong Qing Lian followed the instructions of the note and found the flower path, the one she saw was Wanyan Bao Zhu. Murong Qing Lian was surprised. Wanyan Bao Zhu chuckled, ¡°Are you looking for Murong Xin Lian? I¡¯ll take you there. She¡¯s at my ce!¡±
Murong Qin Lian¡¯s desire to catch Murong Xin Lian and take credit for it eventually prevailed her doubts of Wanyan Bao Zhu. Moreover, she has inner energy; how could she be afraid of Wanyan Bao Zhu?! Thinking till here, Murong Qing Lian pretended to be worried. ¡°Princess, do you really know where my big sister is? She had disappeared for a long time. Our whole family is very worried about her!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ¡®anxious¡¯ expression, Wanyan Bao Zhu sneered in her heart.
Continue pretending,ter I¡¯ll make it so that you won¡¯t even be able to cry out! However, on the surface, Wanyan Bao Zhu was full of smiles, ¡°She¡¯s very well. Only her body isn¡¯t very well. That¡¯s why she couldn¡¯t personallye here. Follow me!¡±
Murong Qing Luan followed Wanyan Bao Zhu and turned a few corners in the pce. In the end, they stopped at a remote chamber.
¡°My second big sister is here?¡± Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t believe it and looked vigntly at Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Of course! Now, she¡¯s a pce maid in the pce, but her body is weak. She¡¯s temporarily recuperating here. Quickly go in! I¡¯ll look out here for you. There¡¯s not much time. Make the long story short!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s expression was very sincere. Nothing fake could be detected. Dubiously, Murong Qing Lian opened the door. She hadn¡¯t even crossed the doorway yet, when she had been pushed inside by Wanyan Bao Zhu.
¡°Who...,¡± Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t get the chance to shout, when her mouth was covered by a white cloth. On the white cloth, there was an unusual taste. It made Murong Qing Lian sleepy. She didn¡¯t even take a good look at who was in front of her when she¡¯d fainted.
¡°Done?¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu opened the door and entered. ¡°Send her to crown prince!¡±
Tonight, Murong Qing Lian had a beautiful dream. She dreamed about her marriage with Longze Jing Tian. Everyone came to send their blessings. Murong Qi Qi knelt in front of them and begged for Longze Jing Tian¡¯s forgiveness. She wanted to be his bride again, but has been sent flying by a kick from Longze Jing Tian.
¡°I would only have Murong Qing Lian as a woman, how would I still love another?!¡± These words made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart feel sweeter than honey. She was woken by herughter.
The moment Murong Qing Lian opened her eyes, she found herself in apletely strange environment. Nothing was on her body. She was lying on the bed and her limbs seemed to have been tied at the four corners of the bed. Her mouth was stuffed with a cloth.
¡°Help! Help!¡± Murong Qing Lian struggled. She wanted to scream, but her mouth was stuffed. Her hands and feet were also bound. She simply couldn¡¯t escape.
¡°Yo! Did you wake up?¡± Wanyan Hong, who was only wearing a single robe, came to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s side. In his hand, he shook a wing of a butterfly.
¡°You woke up faster than this crown prince¡¯s expectations!¡±
You are...the moment she saw Wanyan Hong, Murong Qing Lian was shocked. Her body struggled harder.
¡°Yo, still want to escape, ah?!¡± On Wanyan Hong¡¯s gloomy face appeared a sarcastic smile. The butterfly brush in his hand slowly fell on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s toe. It was as gentle as a breeze. A numbness spread through Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body. What do you want to do? Murong Qing Lian was in disbelief.
¡°Hehe, this crown prince likes virgins the most!¡± Seeing the red-like blood gecko cinnabar mark on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s arm, Wanyan Hong lowered his body. He opened his mouth and bit on the gecko cinnabar mark, ¡°So fragrant! Only a virgin could emit such a pure fragrance! This crown prince likes it!¡±
Now, Murong Qing Lian finally understood what she was about to experience. No! She shook her head. Tears filled her eyes. No! I beg you, no!
¡°No?¡± Wanyan Hong seemed like he could read minds. He was able to read Murong Qing Lian¡¯s expression.
¡°How could that be right?! This crown prince is already interested in you! If you don¡¯t believe it, take a look!¡± Wanyan Hong pulled away his robe and revealed a strong body.
A sense of shame emerged in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. She quickly closed her eyes and refused to look. However, the butterfly brush in Wanyan Hong¡¯s hand once again fell on the back of her foot. That numbing feeling once again hit her, making her face be red from holding it in.
¡°Hehe, so sensitive! This crown prince likes it!¡± Wanyan Hong took advantage and went on top of her. ¡°Be good, be this crown prince¡¯s woman!¡±
No, no! Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes were wide open, but what could she do? When a pain spread through her whole body, Murong Qing Lian had already cried a lot. Save me! Wangye,5 save me! Save me, ah!
Wanyan Bao Zhu stood not far away. She looked at how Murong Qing Lian was humiliated by Wanyan Hong. She felt pleasure from taking revenge. She also wanted to let people experience what she had experienced. She also wanted to let others experience her pain...
It was just, when she saw the bed being tainted with red, Wanyan Bao Zhu bit her lips. So, this man could touch women and had feelings for women. Him using such sick ways to wreck her was nothing more than his disdain for Wanyan Bao Zhu because she was not a virgin!
Thinking till here, a sense of shame, anger and discontent filled Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart. No matter what, she and Murong Qing Lian still had differences. Wanyan Hong refused to use the normal way between men and women to treat her! Thinking of the humiliation Wanyan Hong brought her, the pain from there once again pierced Wanyan Bao Zhu.
She seemed to have won this time, but the one who truly won was still Murong Qing Lian, because Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t treat her (WBZ) as a normal woman!
The promises Wanyan Lie made at Feng Cang¡¯s wedding deeply prodded Wanyan Hong¡¯s proud and sensitive heart. He needed to get the feeling of conquest from another¡¯s body.
For example, like now. Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes filled with pain, her flushed face and her tears filled with hatred made his heart get a great sense of satisfaction. Now, in his eyes, Murong Qing Lian became Murong Qi Qi. Since Feng Cang stepped on him under his (FC) feet, then he (WH) would press Feng Cang¡¯s woman under his body!
His eyes burned anger. Wanyan Hong had long forgotten that Murong Qing Lian was a virgin and hadn¡¯t experienced intercourse before. He only wanted to quickly vent out his anger and the injustice he felt! He vented all his dissatisfaction towards Feng Cang on Murong Qing Lian. From Wanyan Hong¡¯s point of view, Murong Qing Lian is Murong Qi Qi¡¯s little sister and Feng Cang¡¯s sister-inw. Humiliating Feng Cang¡¯s sister-inw is humiliating Feng Cang!
At one corner in the pce, Wanyan Hong was enjoying the prey Wanyan Bao Zhu had found for him. At another corner of the pce, Wanyan Hong¡¯s father Wanyan Lie was also doing a frightening thing.
In a dark room under Long Autumn pce, Yue Lan Zhi had been stripped clean of her clothes. She was tied to a wooden cross.
¡°Emperor, what do you want to do?¡± Yue Lan Zhi was horrified. She couldn¡¯t imagine that Wanyan Lie, who had been speaking so happily to her before, would do such a thing now.
¡°Hehe, beloved consort, don¡¯t be afraid. Zhen came to help you!¡±
On Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand was a bamboo whistle that was as long as a finger. It was the color of green jade. It looked very beautiful. Seeing this bamboo whistle, Yu Lan Zhi suddenly thought about that scene she had seen beforeing down here. She¡¯d looked at the other side. A woman, who had a simr appearance to her, stood there.
¡°No! Emperor, don¡¯t!¡±
Yue Lan Zhi finally came to understand how cruel this act was. She struggled and cried. She wanted to use tears to move this man with a gentle smile in front of her, ¡°Emperor, what did chenqie6 do wrong? Why do you treat chenqie like this?! Emperor, have mercy, ah! Emperor!¡±
Hearing Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s shouting and crying, Wanyan Lie shook his head, ¡°No, no, no. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Yue er,7 zhen likes you the most!¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s big hand travelled all over Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body. He looked infatuatedly at Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s face, ¡°Zhen likes you. Zhen couldn¡¯t even pamper you more!¡±
¡°Emperor...,¡± Yue Lan Zhi sensed the darknessing from Wanyan Lie. The gentler this man spoke; the more terrifying the things hidden inside of him would be. A new fear spread through Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s heart. She didn¡¯t want to die! She didn¡¯t want to die, ah!
The thought of that night a few months ago, she was also led here and looked at how that woman had died in pain. Yue Lan Zhi was so scared that she had lost control over urination and defecation.
¡°Tsk, tsk!¡± Smelling the stench emerging in the air, Wanyan Lie frowned. He hid far away. ¡°Yue er, howe you lost your propriety now? Since you¡¯re like this, what¡¯s the use of keeping you (alive)?!¡±
Hearing that Wanyan Lie wanted to use such an excuse to kill her, Yue Lan Zhi forgot the filthiness beneath her and suddenlyughed.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Inside the dungeon, Yu Lan Zhi generouslyughed. It was very ear-piercing.
¡°What are youughing at?¡± Wanyan Lie had never seen such a Yue Lan Zhi. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t go directly to the main subject, but looked at Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s pale face. He wanted to know the answer.
¡°Emperor, I¡¯mughing at you. I pity you.¡±
Suddenly, Yue Lan Zhi calmed down from the terror and tension of just now. She seemed to have seen through everything. That pair of bright eyes stared at Wanyan Lei as if they wanted to see through his heart.
¡°Pity zhen? What qualification do you have to pity zhen? You¡¯re only a dog zhen kept!¡±
The irony in Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s voice made Wanyan Lie very dissatisfied. He only likes people who followed him. Now that Yue Lan Zhi suddenly became like this, Wanyan Lie was not used to it and also disliked it very much.
¡°Humph, emperor still said you¡¯re not pitiful. Look at my face! Then look at the face of the woman lying down in the underground; you still say you¡¯re not pitiful? Hehe, emperor, you¡¯re the most pitiful person in the world!¡±
¡°You possess the whole country, but you can¡¯t possess the woman you love. Because you¡¯re siblings. You would never be able to get princess Ming Yue. So, you found all the women who looked like princess Ming Yue to satisfy your desire. Is such a person not pitiful? You¡¯re the most pitiful person in this world!¡±
¡°Presumptuous!¡± His mind being spoken out loud by Yue Lan Zhi made Wanyan Lie furious. He took out a sword and cut off Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s left arm.
¡°Ah!¡± Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s shrill screams seemed to have prated throughout the whole ground. Her arm being cut off made ayer of cold sweat emerge on Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s forehead. This woman, who had been the most pampered one in the harem, at this moment, was pale faced and sweating from her whole body like a fish who was had just been scooped out of the water. Blood flowed out of the amputated area. It didn¡¯t take long before the ground was red.
¡°Humph, fly into rage out of humiliation?...How much is it not epted to fall in love with your own little sister, ah?! So, you¡¯re jealous of Feng Xie. You hate him! So, you don¡¯t let Feng Cang off, because you also hate him...You hid princess Ming Yue, because like that, you can get her. However, she would rather go into a deep sleep than to look at you, this sick big brother...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s anger had beenpletely lit. The sword rose once again and cut off Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s right arm.
Now, Yue Lan Zhi was in so much pain that she didn¡¯t even have the strength to open her mouth, ¡°Emperor...you, can¡¯t take the mother gu...if I die...the mother gu will also die...then you won¡¯t be able to control...Feng Cang...¡±
Yue Lan Zhi slowly said that. The smile on her face was pale and her eyes were empty. She lost. Originally, she imagined getting the love of an emperor; originally, she imagined getting Wanyan Lie¡¯s true love, but these two cuts from him destroyed all of her imaginations.
Chapter 115 One moment in a spring night is worth thousands (1)
Chapter 115 One moment in a spring night is worth thousands (1)
Nan Lin wangfu 1 was brightly lit. When Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi returned to the wangfu, immediately there were people who cheered. Then, housekeeper Feng Qi led people to bow at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Congrattions wangye2! Congrattions wangfei3!¡±
¡°Dispense with curtsying...,¡± Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi like a princess and rushed into Tingsong building, leaving the dumbfounded people who looked at the just disappeared gust of wind.
¡°It seems that we have to prepare,¡± Feng Qiughed. The people didn¡¯t understand what Feng Qi meant. They looked at him puzzled. Feng Qi knocked on the heads of the few people behind him. ¡°Fools! Wangye is in such a rush...haha...of course we must prepare to receive the young master, ah!¡±
¡°Oh...,¡± Hearing Feng Qi say that, they suddenly came to the realization. That¡¯s right, ah! Nan Lin wangfu had been quiet for so long. If there¡¯s a young master, how great would that be?! Everyone was imagining a beautiful picture. Each one of them giggled foolishly.
Inside Tingsong building, Feng Cang entered the wedding room. He put Murong Qi Qi down and sat opposite her. He looked at her andughed foolishly.
If an ordinary personughed foolishly, he/she would appear honest. However, Feng Cang¡¯s foolishughter was very adorable. Not speaking and without bodynguage, he only sat there and looked foolishly at Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t move a bit. On his face hung a bright smile. His phoenix eyes carefully gazed Murong Qi Qi. His whole person seemed to beam and he was happy as if he ate honey.
After being stared for long time by Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi finally yielded under the deep love in his eyes. Her face got red.
Murong Qi Qi discovered that since getting to know Feng Cang, no matter if it was flirting or passing current with their eyes, in the end the one who would be defeated was always her. When would she regain one win?! She really looked forward to that day, ah!
Murong Qi Qi was dressed very festively. Plus with her shyness, her face became rouge, making Feng Cang¡¯s heart beat very fast.
¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful...,¡± Feng Cang pulled Murong Qi Qi into his arms. Soft lips fell on her forehead. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love.
This kiss crushed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fantasy world, making her wake up.
What¡¯s the matter with her? She was actually greedy for Feng Cang¡¯s gentleness and embrace?
If she didn¡¯t get to know that matter, then she would continue to enjoy and spent her wedding night happily and shyly.
However, now there¡¯s a possibility that she¡¯s Feng Cang¡¯s little sister. This person in front of her who she deeply loves and he also deeply loves her may be blood rted with her. If she let her own feelings take over and eagerly enjoy the intimacy; if they¡¯re truly biological siblings, then in the future it¡¯s two people who will suffer. She couldn¡¯t be so selfish and also couldn¡¯t make the decision for Feng Cang.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Feng Cang keenly caught on that Murong Qi Qi was ¡®absentminded¡¯. ¡°Qing Qing, are you not feeling well? Why does your face look so bad?¡±
¡°Wangye, I...,¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know how to say it.
The most direct way is to take of the Water Moon Mirror and tell Feng Cang she may be his little sister. The result is Feng Cang would be surprised, sad and hurt. However, if she doesn¡¯t do it like that, then what should she doter when it¡¯s time to spend the wedding night? Could it be...no can¡¯t! She looked for seventy, eighty percent like Wanyan Ming Yue. If by chance she¡¯s Feng Xie¡¯s daughter, Feng Cang¡¯s little sister, then wouldn¡¯t they be truly in a mess?!
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s change so many expression, Feng Cang chuckled. He took her into his embrace. ¡°Qing Qing, are you afraid? Is it that you aren¡¯t prepared yet?¡±
¡°Uh?¡± Murong Qi Qi was surprised for a moment and didn¡¯t understand what Feng Cang meant.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was so innocent, Feng Cang sighed. He gently hugged her. His clean chin was on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead, ¡°I heard, when a girl bes a woman, the first time would be very painful. Is Qing Qing afraid? If it¡¯s like that, I can wait; wait till you¡¯re ready to ept me before we do the wedding night.¡±
Murong Qi Qi finally understood after Feng Cang¡¯s words. This man is really...she didn¡¯t know what to say. So considerate, so thoughtful and so gentle; if they didn¡¯t have any blood rtion, how happy would she be?!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything. She only cried. She nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms like a well-behaved cat. Her being like this made Feng Cang feel more that she was afraid of the wedding night and that her heart had fear. So, he pitied her even more. He didn¡¯t want to force her.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you be mine when you don¡¯t allow it. I love you. I love everything about you. I¡¯m willing to wait! Qing Qing being like this maybe it¡¯s because I wasn¡¯t good enough. Maybe if our feelings were deeper then Qing Qing would be able to let go and ept me!¡±
Feng Cang gently kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears. Likeforting a child, he gently patted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s back. ¡°Be good! Don¡¯t be afraid! It was I who was too anxious! I¡¯m willing to wait!¡±
¡°Feng Cang...¡±
Feng Cang was being so considerate and so gently made Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but cry out loudly. She rushed into Feng Cang¡¯s arm and cried loudly like a child who suffered grievances. She wanted to release all the gloominess in her heart.
Feng Cang panicked after seeing Murong Qi Qi cry. He quicklyforted, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s the matter? Did someone bully you? Qing Qing!¡±
¡°No!¡± Murong Qi Qi hugged Feng Cang¡¯s neck. Her tears fell on Feng Cang¡¯s ck hair. ¡°I¡¯m so afraid! I¡¯m so afraid!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®afraid¡¯ made Feng Cang¡¯s heart tremble a bit. Could it be that she¡¯s worried about that her fate would be the same as those women? Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small body trembled slightly because of sobbing. Feng Cang tightly hugged her and felt much ache in his heart.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault! It¡¯s me who let you be afraid...,¡± Feng Cang felt much pain for the small person in his arms. It seemed that she always had been strong and optimistic. No matter if it wasziness or slyness, no matter if she was kind or scheming; he had seen it all. However, this was the first time Feng Cang saw such a her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s apology made Murong Qi Qi sadder. She shook her head and cried stronger, ¡°It¡¯s not you, it¡¯s not you! It¡¯s me who is worried, who is afraid. I¡¯m afraid that we would separate. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll leave me! Woo, woo, woo...¡±
Murong Qi Qi cried helplessly like a child making Feng Cang panic. He repeatedlyforted, ¡°How would that be?! We¡¯ll be together forever. I won¡¯t leave you and you also won¡¯t leave me! When alive we¡¯ll sleep in the same bed, when we die, we¡¯ll lie in the same tomb. We will always be together!¡±
Feng Cang was so optimistic made the bitterness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart be stronger. How could she have the heart to hurt such a Feng Cang?! If he knew she¡¯s his little sister, what kind of blow would he receive?!
At this time, Murong Qi Qi made a decision. She would hide the truth and won¡¯t tell Feng Cang. No matter what the result is, let her be the one to endure everything.
She would give him aplete love till they avenged their parents, till she leaves, she needs to keep this matter a secret. By then, she would ask senior brother Jin Mo to help her, saying she got a weird disease and needs to recuperate alone. When she left, she would let Jin Mo tell Feng Cang she died. This way, she gave Feng Cang a love and also retain the most beautiful image in Feng Cang¡¯s heart.
After making this decision, Murong Qi Qi gradually stopped crying. She nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Her small face was close to his chest and listened to his heartbeat.
¡°Little cat isn¡¯t crying anymore?¡±
The Murong Qi Qi who was crying earth-shatteringly, now calmed down. Feng Cang¡¯s heart also calmed down because of Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect this girl to be so sensitive and cried like this because she was afraid they¡¯ll separate! This little woman, ah, should he say she¡¯s sensitive or foolish?! Since he took her hand, he would not let go for this whole life even if it¡¯s through mountains of daggers and seas of mes. He wouldn¡¯t care even if the blue sea turned into mulberry fields!
Mountains of dagger and seas of mes: extreme danger
The blue sea turned into mulberry fields: the transformation of the world.
¡°I¡¯m not a little cat!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose was red and her face still had tears. Because her voice was choked, the words she said was low and muffled like as if she was acting cute. Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but pinch her red nose.
¡°Little cat, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s reminder made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s stomach grumble very cooperatively. Immediately, Murong Qi Qi was ashamed and buried her head in Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± The appearance of the little person in his arms made Feng Cangugh loudly. Immediately he let people serve Murong Qi Qi a bath and after bathing a meal.
When a fresh Feng Cang appeared, Murong Qi Qi was already sitting in front of a rich dinner. She also finished taking a bath. Aside from the somewhat red eyes which showed that she cried, Murong Qi Qi changed into a pink pajama. She was fresh like lotusing out of water, beautiful and moving.
¡°Wangye, you¡¯ve arrived!¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head and revealed a smile, ¡°Come quickly. I¡¯m so hungry!¡±
Feng Cang sat beside Murong Qi Qi and once again kissed her forehead, ¡°You should eat first if you¡¯re hungry! Don¡¯t wait for me! If you go hungry, I will feel bad!¡±
These words of affectioning out of Feng Cang was so natural as if he was born for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s love. Murong Qi Qi smiled while putting dishes on Feng Cang¡¯s te, ¡°Without wangye here, the dishes won¡¯t taste good!¡±
This little woman is now joking with him which meant her mood is now better. Feng Cang¡¯s heart finally eased down. He personally poured wine and gave it to Murong Qi Qi. ¡°After formally exchanging cups of wine, we¡¯ll officially be husband and wife...¡±
Looking at the wine inside the jade cup, Murong Qi Qi paused. Inside her heart a voice was screaming, ¡°Drink! After drinking it, you¡¯ll be husband and wife! Even if you can¡¯t be real husband and wife, but like this, you should also be contended!¡±
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi took the cup of wine and drank with Feng Cang while crossing their arms.
After drinking the wine, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips was red like rose petals. On her lips were drops of wine emitting a sweet scent. Feng Cang stared at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red lips. His throat moved. Very hard, he pressed his desire down.
Can¡¯t be like this! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart hasn¡¯t eased down yet. He couldn¡¯t let her be afraid. He couldn¡¯t scare her!
To divert his attention, Feng Cang put dishes into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s te, ¡°Eat slowly!¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Because she was hungry for a long time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s stomach had been grumbling. Now with these foods here, of course she needed to fill her stomach first.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi was eating a warm dinner in Tingsong building. Under Long Autumn pce, Yue Lan Zhi already fainted from the pain.
¡°Not good!¡± Wanyan Lie quickly took out the whistle and blew. From the whistle came a sound humans couldn¡¯t understand, but it triggered the mother gu in Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body.
Two ¡®googoo¡¯ sounds came from Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body. The original sleeping mother gu had been awakened. Because it¡¯s beautiful dream was disturbed by force, the mother gu seemed very unhappy. Inside Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s belly, it became grumpy.
¡°Ah...¡± The pain from her belly made Yue Lan Zhi wake up from the fainting. Her originally t belly seemed to have stirred. Something the size of a ping-pong ball appeared at her navel. It turned very fast.
Because someone disturbed that mother gu from its sleep, its temper was particrly irritable. It bared it fangs and teared the insides of Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s belly. It swallowed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s belly, leaving only a thinyer of human skin.
Across the human skin, you can clearly see the mother gu¡¯s red body. It seemed to vent its anger inside Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body. While it was at it, it ate Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s meat to meet it nutritional needs.
Yue Lan Zhi swore that she never had experienced this kind of pain before. Even when Wanyan Lie cut her arms just now, it was cut fast and neatly. Although she felt pain, but it wasn¡¯t torture.
And this, this was endless pain. Her insides were eaten bit by bit by the mother gu. The sounds its teeth made, made people feel afraid from deep inside their bones.
Although it wasn¡¯t the first time eunuch Jing De, who was standing at a side saw this. However, when the tragedy once again yed, he still didn¡¯t dare to look. He only could lower his head and frown. His lips were in a tight line. He tried his best to not let himself go look at that miserable scene.
At the other side, when the substitute of Wanyan Ming Yue who had been brought her by Jing De saw this scene, she was overwhelmed by fear and went limply on the ground. She had never seen such a horrifying scene. It¡¯s so scary! That red worm was pasted on Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s skin as if it wanted to look at her through that skin.
¡°Ah...,¡± Yue Lan Zhi didn¡¯t scream. It was this young girl who screamed first.
¡°Yue er4, don¡¯t be afraid! Zhen5 is here.¡±
Inside the whole dungeon, Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression was the calmest. He was so calm that it was somewhat sick. He helped the young girl stand up. He tightly embraced her waist to avoid her fall on the ground once again.
¡°Emperor, what is that? So frightening!¡± The young girl raised her head and looked pitifully at Wanyan Lie. She had never thought that she would experience such a thing. What kind of frightening thing is that? Why is it inside that woman¡¯s body?
The fear of the young girl made Wanyan Lie in a good mood. He liked to see the fear in people¡¯s eyes. He particrly like that kind of fear and panic. ¡°Yue er, be good. Don¡¯t be afraid! She wasn¡¯t good, so zhen used this worm to torture her. As long as you listen well to zhen, zhen would certainly pamper you! And would definitely not let you suffer any bitterness!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s voice had a magic to it. Seeing the sincerity and respect in the eyes of this emperor, the young girl¡¯s heart slightly trembled. She nestled into Wanyan Lie¡¯s embrace, ¡°Emperor...¡±
The young girl¡¯s throwing herself in his arms made a trace of disgust appear and disappear in Wanyan Lie¡¯s face. His Yue er definitely wouldn¡¯t have yield so easily in front of a man. No matter how much this woman looked like Yue er, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t bepared to her!
The young girl didn¡¯t know that her actions had left a shadow in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. And this shadow may apany herter life and also determine her life and death.
Yue Lan Zhi only had one breath left. She had fainted many times and every time had she been woken up by the pain.
That mother gu went along Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s body and climbed up. It tore off her internal organs and eat them. Her eyes had been turned hazy by sweat. She could only see a few shadows of the people in front of her. Her voice also became hoarse because of the continued shouting. Now she could only make a low ¡®ah¡¯.
¡°Hehe...,¡± While appeasing the young girl in his arms, Wanyan Lie looked smilingly at Yue Lan Zhi.
At this time, Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s abdomen and back had almost been fully eaten by the mother gu. Only a thinyer of skin was left. The skin was bright. From this side of skin, you would be able to look to the other side of the skin. The mother gu continued to climb up along Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s vertebra. It arrived at her chest and climbed on her heart.
¡°Ah...¡± When the mother gu fiercely bit down, Yue Lan Zhi could feel the intense convulsion from her heart.
Painful! Pain that even words was unable to describe. She fiercely bit on her lips. Her hair was wet from sweat. The hairy wet on her forehead. The original beautiful facial features distorted from pain. She finally realized the feeling of death. Unspeakable, living was more painful than death.
¡°Emp...emperor...¡± Probably because she knew she was about to die, Yue Lan Zhi raised her head and looked at the man not far away. Once, he treated her gently and pampered her like never before. He let her be the most envious golden canary inside this golden cage. Those were her beautiful memories, ¡°Emperor...¡±
¡°Your majesty, niangniang6 seemed to have something to say to you,¡± Jing De said in a low voice after he came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side.
¡°Oh?¡± Wanyan Lie held the young girl and came to Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s side. On his face was not a bit of pity, ¡°You called zhen?¡±
¡°Emperor...did, did you ever...like me...even a bit...¡± This sentence, Yue Lan Zhi said it after a few breaths and it took a long time to finished.
Looking at that face of Yue Lan Zhi which was simr to the one in his memories, Wanyan Lie sneered. His thin lips went near Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s ear, ¡°Zhen had never liked you, never ever...¡±
¡°Ha...¡± Yue Lan Zhi didn¡¯t finishughing when she turned her head. She bit on Wanyan Lie¡¯s left ear. She bit fiercely and used the strength of her whole body.
¡°Ah!¡± This time the one who screamed was Wanyan Lie. He wanted to struggle, but unfortunately Yue Lan Zhi bit fiercely. If he struggled, the ear would certainly tear. ¡°Quickly, quickly, kill her!¡± Wanyan Lie was in much pain and quickly ordered Jing De.
Chapter 116 One moment in a spring night is worth thousands (2)
Chapter 116 One moment in a spring night is worth thousands (2)
¡°Yes!¡± At this time, Jing De also panicked. No one ever expected that Yue Lan Zhi would do such a ¡®disgraceful¡¯ thing. He couldn¡¯t think much. Jing De took out a dagger and stabbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s back. The sharp de prated through the ribs and stabbed Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s moving heart.
¡°Boom...boom...boom...,¡± the heartbeat gradually stopped. Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s beautiful eyes were wide open. So much unwillingness, so much hatred; all left the world with her death.
It was just, even after Yue Lan Zhi died, her teeth didn¡¯t loosen. She still bit fiercely and didn¡¯t have a trace of releasing.
¡°Quickly, quicklye and help, fool!¡± When had Wanyan Lie ever suffered like this? Here, there was only he, Jing De and the young girl. The young girl had been scared so much that she only trembled. Jing De quickly rushed to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side.
Jing De wanted to pry open Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s teeth, but he didn¡¯t have any tools at hand. He could only find a way to break her mouth, but Yue Lan Zhi seemed like even after death she didn¡¯t want to let Wanyan Lie off. Her teeth were fiercely on each other like an imprisoning door. Half of Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear was swallowed in her mouth and she refused to spit it out.
¡°Quickly go find people to help, you fool!¡± Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s canine tooth bit through Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear. Blood dripped along his cheek. Seeing that Jing De was so clumsy, Wanyan Lie kicked Jing De¡¯s calf, ¡°Quickly, go find people! Find someone considerate!¡±
¡°Yes! Yes, yes!¡± Jing De was sweating from anxiousness. He rushed and trotted out.
¡°Emperor, emperor, are you alright?!¡± The young girl was very scared. Her tears fell. She only cried and couldn¡¯t do anything else, making Wanyan Lie more and more had the impulse to kill this woman.
The blood was still dripping. Wanyan Lie was in so much pain that he almost cursed. Suddenly he heard ¡®goo goo goo¡¯ sounding from far to near. ¡°Goo, goo, goo, goo...¡± Wanyan Lie was first surprised then he immediately struggled to get up.
It was clear, his fresh blood attracted the mother gu in Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s belly. Now the mother gu smelled the blood of a living person. It was very excited. It crawled up along Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s throat.
¡°Goo, goo, goo, goo...¡± that voice was getting nearer and nearer. Wanyan Lie even wanted to die now. F***, why hasn¡¯t Jing De returned yet?! And this damned Yue Lan Zhi was truly a bitch. Even before death, she wanted to calcte him. Truly a bitch!
Wanyan Lie struggled to pull out his ear. He didn¡¯t expect his earlobe tore, making him scream in pain. Even more warm blood spilled out. Being afraid of pain, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t dare to move. However, he didn¡¯t have much time to be hesitant when a tingling pain came from his ear.
¡°Ah, ah, ah!¡± The Wanyan Lie whose end of his ear was bitten by the mother gu screamed. He pulled hard and pulled out the other half of his ear from Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s mouth. Originally, he thought he could be relieved, but the young girl began to scream.
¡°Emp, emperor! Wo...worm...!¡±
On Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear a worm as small as a thumb was climbing. It was so red. That worm clenched tightly at Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear and didn¡¯t let go. Wanyan Lie was in so much pain, he screamed and jumped.
¡®Pa!¡¯ Wanyan Lie wanted to hit the mother gu to the ground, but didn¡¯t expect it to be so cunning. As if it sensed danger, it immediately went into Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear.
¡°Emperor, it, it entered!¡±
The young girl screamed nonstop. Such a scene was truly too horrifying. That meaty and red worm twisted its body and drilled inside along of Wanyan Lie¡¯s ear. When Wanyan Lie wanted to grab the mother gu and pull it out, the mother gu only left a slippery tail. It struggled to get its tail out of Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand. All of sudden, during the struggle it fell onto Wanyan Lie¡¯s brain.
At this time, Wanyan Lie¡¯s head was rumbling loudly. When Jing De returned with people, Wanyan Lie had been hugging his head and rolling on the ground.
¡°Your majesty, your majesty, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Jing De was very anxious and quickly asked the young girl what had happened. The girl had also been scared. She could only say through many breath, ¡°Worm...entered emperor¡¯s ear...¡±
This was bad! Hearing this from the young girl, Jing De¡¯s heart jumped. The worm the girl was referring to must be the mother gu. Now the mother gu entered the emperor¡¯s body. What should they do?
¡°Quickly! Quickly help emperor up!¡± Jing De was sweating from anxiousness. He could only let people bring Wanyan Lie out of the underground. When the imperial physician arrived, Wanyan Lie had fainted from pain.
Although Jing De wanted to seal the news that Wanyan Lie had fainted, but there were so many ears everywhere inside the pce. In a short moment, this news reached the empress and consort De. The two immediately rushed over. All the people waited at a side for the result of the examination.
Five imperial physicians took turns to examine Wanyan Lie. Thest one was the old imperial physician.
¡°His majesty disease is really strange!¡± The old imperial physician narrowed his eyes. After examining for a long time, he raised his head, ¡°Emperor¡¯s ears seemed to have been bitten by someone. Beside his ear is stained with blood. Presumably someone attacked his majesty. The emperor only fainted from pain. It¡¯s nothing!¡±
The moment the empress heard that someone attacked Wanyan Lie and bit his ears like that, she immediately stood up, ¡°Jing De, who wanted to assassinate the emperor?¡±
This thing became assassination through Li Bing.
¡°This...,¡± Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t wake up yet, so Jing De didn¡¯t know how to answer Li Bing. Seeing Jing De like that, Li Bing immediately put out her attitude of an empress, ¡°Jing De, what had happened? Why did the emperor be like this? You don¡¯t want to say anything, could it be you¡¯re the aplice of the assassin?¡±
An usation of being the ¡®aplice¡¯ made Jing De shiver. He immediately knelt on the floor, ¡°Answering niangniang, 1 it was imperial noble consort!¡± He gritted his teeth and pulled out Yue Lan Zhi who died for a long time as the scapegoat.
¡°Noble consort Yue?¡± Hearing this name, Li Bing¡¯s teeth itched. This woman upied Wanyan Lie alone, making her (LB) only exist in name and be the joke of the women from the harem. How could she ept this? Now, she finally caught Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s small tail. She must torture Yue Lan Zhi very well.
¡°Where is she?¡± When Lin Ke Xin entered, she didn¡¯t see Yue Lan Zhi. This was a good thing, ah. Yue Lan Zhi attacked the emperor. How big is such a crime, ah?! From the empress¡¯s appearance, it seemed that she wanted to make a chapter out of this thing. Then she should only watch the y!
¡°Escaped!¡± Jing De once again gritted his teeth. Now, Wanyan Lie hasn¡¯t woken up yet. There¡¯s no one who would back up him. Besides, even if the emperor wakes up, he would not have a way to exin this matter. They could only push this matter onto Yue Lan Zhi.
¡°Escaped?¡± The moment Li Bing heard this, she got angry. ¡°Servants, seal the pce. Search for the assassin Yue Lan Zhi! If the other party struggles, kill without pardon!¡±
Although Li Bing was not favored, but she¡¯s the empress, she¡¯s the mistress of the harem. Besides, her son is the crown prince, the future emperor. So, no one on at the scene wouldn¡¯t not give her face. Immediately, the pce became busy.
¡°What happened?¡± The empress dowager Dongfang Lan who had already slept had been woken up by the movement from outside. She immediately called Qing Gu to ask her what had happened.
¡°Miss, emperor has been attacked by noble consort Yue. Now, he¡¯s unconscious.¡±
¡°Such a thing happened?¡± Dongfang Lan was worried about Wanyan Lie¡¯s injury and wanted to go to Long Autumn pce to take a look at him. However, she was stopped by Qing Gu, ¡°Miss, the empress and consort De is already there! You see, in the middle of the night, there¡¯s them who will look over the emperor. Don¡¯t worry. The imperial physician said that the emperor only fainted. Nothing would happen. This ve will go over in your stead!¡±
Qing Gu was worried about Dongfang Lan. In such a winter night; also, Long Autumn pce is far from Jinxuan pce. Dongfang Lan is already at such an old age; if she goes over and caught the cold, then it would be bad. Knowing that Qing Gu was being considerate, Dongfang Lan quickly tell her some reminders and let her go to Long Autumn pce to see how the situation was.
When Qing Gu arrived, Wanyan Lie was still unconscious. Qing Gu came with the empress dowager¡¯s decree; one, was to tell the imperial physicians to heal the emperor. Second was to tell the empress to control the overall situation.
¡°Chenqie2 will follow the empress dowager¡¯s decree.¡± With Dongfang Lan¡¯s decree, Li Bing did things more smoothly and easily. Qing Gu said some reminders and was about to leave when she saw the young girl in white clothes. Seeing that this girl looked familiar, Qing Gu walked over. She almost eximed loudly.
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know anything...I really don¡¯t know anything...,¡± the young girl had be somewhat silly because of so much fear. First was Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s tragic death, then the mother gu entered Wanyan Lie¡¯s brain. Which one was not shocking and extremely frightening?
After experiencing these things in one night, the young girl became silly. Especially when she remembered the appearance of that meaty worm when it entered Wanyan Lie¡¯s brain, the young girl couldn¡¯t help but vomit.
The girl saying this made Qing Gu frown. Why did she encounter someone so simr to princess Ming Yue here? Who is this girl? Why is she here?
¡°Which pce¡¯s pce maid are you? Come, don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Qing Gu took the young girl¡¯s hand and let her stand in front of everyone. After seeing the appearance of the young girl, Li Bing and Lin Ke Xing were shocked. Is this not a copy of Wanyan Ming Yue? What is going on?
¡°I don¡¯t know anything...They said to let mee here and be the imperial noble consort...I don¡¯t know anything else...¡± The young girl looked at these eyes full of murderous aura. While crying, she shook her head.
Imperial noble consort? The words of the young girl almost made them faint. Li Bing was about to open her mouth, when Jing De quickly came forward and pierced a dagger through the young girl¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Emperor, Jing De took revenge for you!¡±
¡°Grab him!¡± Li Bing quickly let people take Jing De down, but the young girl had already fallen onto the ground and wasn¡¯t breathing anymore.
¡°Why did you kill her?!¡± Not getting to know the answers she wanted, Li Bing was a bit angry. Jing De was neither servile nor overbearing, ¡°Answering niangniang, it was her and imperial noble consort niangniang who attacked the emperor. That was why the emperor is still unconscious. Just now, this ve was too busy and didn¡¯t notice her. This ve didn¡¯t expect that she actually hid here. She¡¯s truly too daring.¡±
Although there were many loopholes in Jing De¡¯s words, but the young girl had already been killed by him. The dead couldn¡¯t testify. Li Bing had no way to deal with Jing De.
After all, Jing De served Wanyan Lie for so many years. He is the emperor¡¯s confidant. If she punishes Jing De for an equivocal suspicion, when Wanyan Lie wakes up, the first one to be unlucky would be her. So, although she had doubts, Li Bing still pushed these doubts down.
The one who also had doubts was Qing Gu. It was just, she spent so many years in the pce and experienced many big winds and waves. Naturally, she wouldn¡¯t disy these doubts. She bowed at the empress and consort De. Qing Gu left Long Autumn pce.
It didn¡¯t take long for the news of Wanyan Lie being attacked by imperial noble consort to reach Nan Lin wangfu3. Nn Xin stood outside of Tingsong building with the news. It was not good to enter, but it was also not good to retreat.
Today is Feng Cang¡¯s big day. ording to custom, a moment in spring is worth thousands. If he enters rashly and disturbed wangye¡¯s4 happiness, he would definitely be skinned by Feng Cang. However, the news of something happening to Wanyan Lie was too shocking, ah. If he didn¡¯t tell and dyed wangye¡¯s matter, then wouldn¡¯t it be bad?
Nn Xin walked back and forth outside of Tingsong building. He couldn¡¯t decide if he should enter ore back tomorrow. He walked back and forth and couldn¡¯t think what to do. Suddenly, he heard a chuckle. He turned and saw that it was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s maid Su Yue.
¡°Is teacher Nn looking for wangye?¡± Because Nn Xin had taught Murong Qi Qi lessons, so Su Yue and Su Mei also used teacher to call him.
¡°Yes, there¡¯s something. But I¡¯m afraid to disturb wangye...¡±
Nn Xin¡¯s exnation made Su Yueugh harder, ¡°Teacher Nn, what matter is bigger than wangye and wangfei¡¯s5 wedding night? Could it be that teacher doesn¡¯t know the importance of a wedding night to a woman? This is wangfei¡¯s only wedding night. If this was interrupted by teacher...really don¡¯t know how shy wangfei would be. Or is it that teacher thinks your ce in wangye¡¯s heart is more important than wangfei¡¯s?¡±
Nn Xin understood immediately after Su Yue said that. Even though he followed Feng Cang for so many years, but how could he bepared to Murong Qi Qi! Murong Qi Qi is the baby of Feng Cang¡¯s heart and is the person Feng Cang cherishes the most. How could hepare to Murong Qi Qi?!
¡°Teacher if you have something to tell, it¡¯s better toe look for wangye tomorrow! I¡¯m telling teacher, my miss is the one who kept grudges the most. If teacher angers my miss, then in the future, you will suffer. Presumably, teacher has never experienced the power of a pillow talk!¡±
When saying this, Su Yue smiled. The dimples on her cheeks showed faintly. Under the moonlight, she was in a green dress and looked like a fairy. For the first time, Nn Xin discovered Su Yue was such a beautiful woman.
¡°Thanking miss Su Yue for waking me up!¡± Nn Xin bowed slightly at Su Yue making Su Yue a bit startled. She didn¡¯t say anything. She nodded, turned and left.
Inside the building, Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi while telling her stories about his childhood. After hearing about Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s love story, Murong Qi Qi was somewhat envious. A desire for familial love also emerged in her heart.
¡°Wangye, if princess and great general were still alive, they would certainly be a heavenly couple!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Cang bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fingertip, ¡°Why are you still calling them princess and general, ah?! You should call them father and mother now!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s word made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes got wet. That was right! No matter what the result is, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue are her father and mother. If she¡¯s their daughter, then they¡¯re her biological father and mother. If she¡¯s their daughter-inw, then they¡¯re also her father and mother.
¡°Alright!¡± Murong Qi Qiughed, making Feng Cang almost lost his soul, ¡°Qing Qing, why is it that you¡¯re bing more and more beautiful in my eyes? So, beautiful, that I¡¯m getting drunk in your arms!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s sweet words were endless, making Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart also be very sweet. The two snuggled for a while. Then Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s time we rest...¡±
These wordsing from Feng Cang had a taste of shyness. Don¡¯t take that he¡¯s a big man and already twenty-five years old, but in that area, he was nk as paper. He wasn¡¯t much better than Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangye, I...¡± The moment she heard the word ¡®rest¡¯, her body stiffened. Seeing Murong Qi Qi so nervous, Feng Cang¡¯s big hand gently patted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s back. ¡°Qing Qing, didn¡¯t I say I won¡¯t force you?! I¡¯ll wait for you! I will wait till you¡¯re willing to ept me! ept everything about me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was very moved with Feng Cang being so considerate and gentle. ¡°Wangye, give me time! Give me some time!¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Holding Murong Qi Qi¡¯s somewhat cold hands, Feng Cang gave her a very flirtatious gaze. ¡°Beloved consort, benwang6 tossed and turned the whole day and is very tired. If we still don¡¯t go sleep, then tomorrow, I wouldn¡¯t be able to get up and go to the pce to pay our gratitude...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s act of cuteness made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood get a lot better. The two changed clothes and went to bed. Feng Cang turned off the lights. The whole room dimmed.
This was the first time, the two shared a bed and pillow. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body was a bit stiff. Feng Cang was also not a lot better. The two were stiff for a long time. In the end, it was Feng Cang who chuckled and broke this stiffened atmosphere. ¡°Qing Qing, is it alright if I hug you?¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Murong Qi Qi softly said that. The next moment, she fell into Feng Cang¡¯s wide embrace.
Smelling the fragrance of green apples in his arms, Feng Cang was very satisfied! Just holding her like this, he felt like he got the whole world. His whole heart was filled with happiness. Feng Cang¡¯s arms were unexpectedly warm, making Murong Qi Qi be intoxicated in them.
Perhaps, it was because she didn¡¯t resst night; perhaps it was because today she was very tired from the wedding or perhaps it was because Feng Cang¡¯s embrace was too indulging; Murong Qi Qi fell asleep very fast and was breathing steadily.
Looking at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slightly turned face, Feng Cang¡¯s heart ached. The wedding must¡¯ve tired her! This little woman, asionally putting down her strong side would let people¡¯s heart ache so much for her.
A kiss fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead again. Feng Cang let Murong Qi Qi stay in his embrace, ¡°Good night! My most beloved little baby!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was in a deep sleep, but Feng Cang didn¡¯t seem the slightest bit sleepy. It was already over zishi (11pm-1am). The thing that should happen didn¡¯t appear. What did this mean?
In the past, every time when it didn¡¯t even reach haishi (9pm-11pm), his gu poison would act up. But now it¡¯s already zishi, nothing ufortable appeared from his body. Could it be because he had vomited the primer of the gu poison?
The sleeping habits of the little person in his arms didn¡¯t seem very good. It didn¡¯t take a moment before Murong Qi Qi bullied Feng Cang like an octopus. Her whole body was dancing like a dough and pasted in his embrace.
Could this little woman not know that he¡¯s a healthy man?! Feng Cang¡¯s thoughts transferred from the gu poison to Murong Qi Qi. This whole night, her apple fragrance stimted Feng Cang¡¯s mind, making him more and more sober.
¡°Mm...,¡± Murong Qi Qi ¡®mm-ed¡¯ once. Her small head rubbed Feng Cang¡¯s chest as if she wanted to get more of his warmth.
Her movement didn¡¯t matter, but it woke up all those sleeping cells of Feng Cang¡¯s body. The beauty was in his arms. His whole body stirred and telling him to throw himself on Murong Qi Qi. Can¡¯t! Feng Cang bit his lips. He promised her to wait till she¡¯s willing and won¡¯t force her. How could he do the non-gentleman thing when she¡¯s asleep?!
However, the woman he loves was in his arms. He obviously loves her very much and wanted to have herpletely, but he couldn¡¯t help but y the role of a gentleman. It was like when a hungry person saw water and food, but wasn¡¯t permitted to eat. It was like having dysentery, but couldn¡¯t go to the toilet. Truly f****** torturing! So choking!
¡°Little brat, when would youpletely open your heart to me, ah?!¡± Feng Cang helplessly held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slender jade-like fingers. He kissed them and smelled the fragrance of a woman from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body. ¡°Qing Qing, do you know that I¡¯m nearly going crazy from wanting you?!¡±
TLNote: A bit exnation about the gu. The gu is an insect that survive from eating human blood and flesh. When dormant, it won¡¯t do anything. However when woken up by the special sound of the whistle, it would listen to the whistle sounds and do as the whistlermand it (will be in more detail in future chapters). In the story, Wanyan Lie took so many consorts who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue, one was because he needed to satisfy his desire; two, was because the gu needs a host. The moment it is used, without a host, it would die.
Chapter 117 The truth is so cruel (1)
Chapter 117 The truth is so cruel (1)
The night was very quiet. Feng Cang could only hear Murong Qi Qi¡¯s breathing. It was soft like the sound of flowers blooming. It made Feng Cang¡¯s heart itch but he didn¡¯t know what do to about it.
¡°Little demoness who tortures people!¡± Feng Cang whispered in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear. Sooner orter, he would take over her heart and let her truly be his woman! It was just, he hoped that, that day won¡¯t be too far away, otherwise sooner orter, he would be injured internally from holding in.
A thing called happiness spread through Feng Cang¡¯s heart. Holding her like this and let her sleep in his embrace was something Feng Cang fantasied about for a long time. Now, this dream was finally realized. Feng Cang felt that he¡¯s the happiest person in this world. To be able to have Murong Qi Qi, to be able to have her by his side, to him, these were the best things. So great! Truly!
A night of good sleep. This was the best sleep Murong Qi Qi had in a long time. Usually, she was sixty percent asleep, forty percent awake. She always couldn¡¯t sleep very stable. This time, she slept very well and slept till the awakening of a new day.
¡°Mm...¡± Murong Qi Qi moved a bit and slightly opened her eyes. The light outside the window was a bit harsh to the eyes. The softness and warmth under her body finally made her realize that this was her wedding night. She actually slept till morning. If this get out, people wouldn¡¯t be able to ept this.
Feng Cang¡¯s arm was used by her as a pillow. At this time, Feng Cang was in a deep sleep. The long eyesshes were thick like a brush. They were under those two attention drawing eyebrows. Feng Cang¡¯s nose was high and in a perfect arc. Under the beautiful nose was rosy lips.
¡°Tsk, tsk, how can a man be so beautiful?!¡± Murong Qi Qi whispered while chuckling. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out her fingers and let it gently slid down from Feng Cang¡¯s forehead. It went through his eyebrows and arrived at his lips.
¡°Ay!¡± Feng Cang opened his mouth, bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s finger and put on a tiger like appearance.
¡°Aiya!¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect Feng Cang to already be awake. He definitely knew what she just did.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair hung loosely on her shoulder. That soft and ck hair was like a beautiful satin. Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Morning!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t mention it to make her embarrassed made Murong Qi Qi relieved. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t mention it. ¡°Morning!¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled sweetly. Suddenly a figure appeared in front of her eyes. She didn¡¯t understand yet, when Feng Cang¡¯s lips was on her lips. She just opened her mouth in surprise; the other party seemed very satisfied with her reaction and directly dove inside.
Time seemed to be frozen. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind was nk. She didn¡¯t know what to think about and didn¡¯t know what she needed to think about. She could only let Feng Cang hug her slender waist and made her stay in his arms. Then, she wantonly enjoyed the fragrance on her lips.
Originally, he wanted to punish Murong Qi Qi for letting him suffer on their wedding night.
However, when he kissed her petals, that small revenge Feng Cang wanted flew to the clouds.
Now, he just enjoyed his own gift. He couldn¡¯t bear to let go of such sweet lips. He sought and sought for more. He wished he could rub her into his bones and be one with her.
¡°Mm...¡± Murong Qi Qi made a light sound which made Feng Cang almost broke his will power. This woman was truly the number one demoness of this world! He wished he could jump on her now!
This iwa? Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but leave Feng Cang¡¯s lips. She lowered her head and looked. After seeing what her hand grabbed, blood immediately rushed on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. All the blood from shyness and sensitiveness rushed to her head. All of sudden, the blood gathered in her pale little face.
¡°Ah!¡± Murong Qi Qi screamed and wanted to stand up. However, she didn¡¯t expect to step on the silk quilt and slipped and directly pushed Feng Cang under her. How amorous this posture could be, was how amorous it was. Murong Qi Qi was sitting with a riding posture on Feng Cang and her upper body was pasted to Feng Cang¡¯s.
Across the silk clothing, Feng Cang could clearly feel the softness of the two clouds on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chest. Although, it was through clothes, but he could feel those clouds. Following her breath, which went up and down; the clouds distance was sometimes near sometimes far because of this.
¡°Gulp.¡± Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but swallow. He was somewhat nervous and looked somewhat forward to it.
Now, Murong Qi Qi was very embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, they would think that she jumped on Feng Cang and forced him. Their posture was very amorous and her hands were next to Feng Cang¡¯s ears as if she was kissing him by force. When did she be so ¡®hungry¡¯?
¡°Qing Qing...¡± there was sweat on Feng Cang¡¯s forehead. His breathing also became heavy. She was pasted to him and was fitted on him, making his restraining heart began to waver. ¡°Qing Qing, if you don¡¯t get up, I¡¯ll take it as you¡¯re willing!¡±
Feng Cang said it so clearly, how could Murong Qi Qi not hear the strong feelings in his voice? And his tight body seemed like it was ready proved that his words were true.
With a blush, Murong Qi Qi turned to the bedside. A feeling of loss burst in Feng Cang¡¯s heart after Murong Qi Qi left. How great would it be if they could continue! Being a gentleman was very hard, truly hard...
¡°Wangye[Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank], we still need to go to the pce to pay our respect to the empress dowager and the emperor!¡± Seeing the regret on Feng Cang¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart ached a bit. She could feel his strong desire. It was just, there were something that you couldn¡¯t do as you please.
Being woken up by Murong Qi Qi from his deep thoughts, Feng Cang also stood up. The first thing he did after waking up was not calling people toe serve, but was to whistle. ¡°Cuckoo, cuckoo...¡± A white pigeon appeared at the window. It flew in andnded on Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
¡°Wangye?¡± The sudden appearance of the pigeon made Murong Qi Qi surprised. She didn¡¯t know what Feng Cang wanted to do with this pigeon. She saw Feng Cang cut the pigeon with a dagger in the neck. He used the pigeons blood to taint the bridal handkerchief. Only now did Murong Qi Qi remember the thing of the blood.
¡°A pigeon¡¯s blood is the most like human blood.¡± After taking care of the pigeon, Feng Cang dressed up. Then he dressed Murong Qi Qi up.
Feng Cang was extremely skilled making Murong Qi Qi surprised. She came six years to this world, but was really ipetent as dressing. She couldn¡¯t get thoseplicated processes. That was why, she designed her dresses very simple. It was just, today she needed to go to the pce and needed to wear a pce dress. That was why, it was very troublesome and she had to rely on Feng Cang.
¡°Done!¡± When Murong Qi Qi stood in front of the mirror, she couldn¡¯t help but admire Feng Cang from the bottom of her heart. He could take care of such tedious clothing so beautifully.
¡°Wangye, wangfei1! The old maid of the pce arrived!¡± From outside came Su Yue¡¯s voice. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s softly said, ¡°Come in!¡± The door opened and an old pce maid came in. She was sent toe verify (that they indeed did the deed).
When this old pce maid saw that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s spirit was so good, she couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Feng Cang was someone who cursed eight wives to death. Today, the old pce maid thought that she would see the happy event turn into a funeral. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi was sitting there very well with an appearance of satisfaction and the shyness of just bing someone¡¯s wife.
She looked again and saw that the white satin was bright red, the old pce maid immediately grinned. The whole face which was full of folds, because of this happy smile looked several years younger. ¡°Congrattions wangye, congrattions wangfei! Wishing wangye and wangfei to give birth to a son soon! And to have many children!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Cang nodded. The old pce maid took the white handkerchief and happily returned to the pce to report to the empress dowager.
Those people who secretly kept watch over the wangfu2 on the outside; when they say the old pce maid happily enter the carriage, they were puzzled. In the past, the rednterns of the wangfu would turn into white this day. Now, the servants of the residence needed to change into mourning clothes. However, why was it that till now, no news came out? Could it be that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t die?
The matter that Nan Lin wangfei had survived the wedding night, in an instant, spread like wind through Yan capital.
Those people who bet that wangfei would die on the wedding night were beating their chest and stamping their foot while crying. Many people bet all their belongings. They didn¡¯t expect that this time was an exception and now they even lost their pants. For a time, cried ofints filled the roads of the capital. Those people who wanted to make money from Feng Cang¡¯s wedding, now lost miserably!
Inside Long Autumn pce, under everyone¡¯s expectations, Wanyan Lie finally woke up. The pain on his left ear soon reminded him of his experience from yesterday.
¡°Ou...¡± The thought that, that meaty mother gu was now inside his body, Wanyan Lie suddenly got up and lied at the bedside while vomiting.
¡°Your majesty, your majesty, what¡¯s the matter?¡± The empress and consort De who kept watch the whole night, rushed to the bed. The two were crying like raindrops on a pear blossom. They came in front of Wanyan Lie. ¡°Your majesty, how do you feel?¡±
¡°Ou...,¡± Wanyan Lie gestured with his hand to let them leave. He continued to vomit. After the time to boil a half cup of tea, did he stop.
After vomiting for so long, although it was only retching, but it was still a torture. Wanyan Lie¡¯s face was very pale. When he lied back down, he began to call for Jing De. ¡°Jing De! Jing De!¡±
Jing De who was kneeling at a side, after hearing Wanyan Lie call him, immediately stood up and came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side. ¡°Emperor, this ve is here!¡±
¡°Jing De, what time is it?¡±
¡°Answering emperor, it¡¯s now chenshi (7-9am).¡±
¡°Chenshi?¡± Wanyan Lie suddenly opened his eyes, ¡°Chenshi? Then what about Feng Cang? How is Feng Cang?¡± Seeing that the first thing Wanyan Lie worried about when he woke up was Feng Cang, on the face of Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin shed viciousness at the same time.
¡°Emperor, in a moment, Nan Lin wang and wangfei would enter the pce to pay their gratitude towards emperor.¡±
The moment, he heard that Feng Cang was fine, Wanyan Lei sighed. Those who didn¡¯t know the situation, would think he was excited. How would others know that at this time, Wanyan Lie was now regretting very much in his heart. He actually let Feng Cang escape today and Murong Qi Qi was also fine. All was because of that bitch Yue Lan Zhi!
¡°Where¡¯s Yue Lan Zhi?¡± Remembering the viciousness of that woman before she died, Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes deepened.
¡°Answering emperor, the imperial noble consort attacked you. Now, the imperial guards had sealed the whole capital and were searching for the whereabouts of imperial noble consort.¡±
Everything had been ¡®clearly exined¡¯ by Jing De. Wanyan Lie nodded, ¡°Very well, you did well!¡± With these words from Wanyan Lie, Jing De¡¯s burden loosened.
¡°Your majesty, the imperial noble consort attacked you. She deserves to die! When caught, she needs to be killed!¡± Li Bing didn¡¯t want to let Yue Lan Zhi go. That woman let her bear too much humiliations. If she didn¡¯t strike the iron while it¡¯s hot now, then it would be a shame. So, Li Bing wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Yue Lan Zhi to avoid this demoness to tempt the emperor again.
¡°Allow!¡± What Li Bing wanted was what Wanyan Lie wanted. Although, now Yue Lan Zhi was already death, but it would be the best to nt this thing on her. Wanyan Lie was very supportive of Li Bing¡¯s proposal.
Originally Li Bing thought that Wanyan Lie would hesitate. After hearing Wanyan Lie¡¯s ¡®allow¡¯, she somewhat couldn¡¯t believe her ears. What was the matter with the emperor? Didn¡¯t he favor Yue Lan Zhi the most? Howe now, he¡¯s so merciless?
Could it be that emperor finally understood? He now knows the true face of that fox? That was why he wouldn¡¯t be merciful towards her again? Thinking till here, Li Bing¡¯s joy showed on her face. ¡°Yes! This subject wife would follow the decree!¡±
Now, Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s life was in her hands. Li Bing looked once provocatively at Lin Ke Xin. How was it? This time I won.
Li Bing¡¯s provocation didn¡¯t let Lin Ke Xin feel despair. Now they didn¡¯t know where Yue Lan Zhi was. Even if they did find her and really executed her; perhaps one day Wanyan Lie would remember Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s good and would then hate Li Bing. She wasn¡¯t as stupid as Li Bing. She only needed to closely follow the emperor¡¯s footsteps.
Wanyan Lie had no effort to care about the fighting and scheming of those women. He¡¯s now very annoyed. In his heart, he cursed Yue Lan Zhi ten thousand times. In the end, Yue Lan Zhi yed a trick on him. Now the mother gu is in his body. What should he do?
In the past, every fifteenth of the month, he would torture the mother gu and use the opportunity to torture Feng Cang. Now the mother gu is inside his body. Could it be that he should torture himself? He couldn¡¯t bear such sick way! What should he do?!
Looking at the sky outside the window which gradually turned light, Wanyan Lie suddenly got an idea. Nan Feng country is the birthce of gu and also the hometown of gu. Especially the Qiang race; they were the best at making gu. Speaking of this, this gu was passed to him by a head of a Qiang tribe. It seemed that to get rid of this mother gu, he needed to ask Nan Feng for help.
He heard that Ming Yue Cheng just ascended the throne and the regime wasn¡¯t stable yet. Why doesn¡¯t he support Ming Yue Cheng and let him (MYC) remember his (WL) good. By then, he (MYC) could send a master of gu toe help him!
After solving his inner burden, Wanyan Lie touched his already bandaged left ear and once again thought about Yue Lan Zhi. That woman was truly vicious! F***! Wanyan Lie once again cursed Yue Lan Zhi. In his heart, he had long sentenced Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s family to death. Thinking about what Jing De just said, that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi needed toe to the pce to pay their gratitude, Wanyan Lie quickly got out of bed. Jing De, Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin panicked, ¡°Emperor, you¡¯re injured. The imperial physician rmended for you to stay in bed and rest!¡±
¡°Zhen3 isn¡¯t dead yet!¡± Wanyan Lie disliked Li Bing¡¯s words a bit. He stretched out his hand to let Jing De help him wear the dragon robe. ¡°Today is the day Cang er returns to the pce with the new wangfei. Zhen can¡¯t miss the time¡±
This sentence from Wanyan Lie once again made Feng Cang the enemy of the public.
Look, ah! Look how much Wanyan Lie loves Feng Cang, ah!
When he woke up, his first sentence was his concern for Feng Cang. Now, he even disregarded his own body to go see Feng Cang. This was an unprecedented grace, ah!
The atmosphere Wanyan Lie created made Feng Cang became the thorn in these woman¡¯s eyes and the nails in their flesh; especially to empress Li Bing and consort De Lin Ke Xin. Li Bing¡¯s son was the crown prince. Lin Ke Xin¡¯s eldest son had the name of being virtuous. These two people are the blood and flesh of Wanyan Lie. Now, Wanyan Lie put Feng Cang in the first ce. What was happening?!
How could Wanyan Lie not know the envy, jealousy and hate in these women¡¯s eyes? At the corners of his mouth was a smile. He let Jing Deb his hair. He was putting Feng Cang in a high ce, so high that those people wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it. Then they would form a group and attack. He liked that tactic of borrowing someone else¡¯s sword to kill the most. He was also to most skilled at it.
At this time, Nan Lin wangfu was bustling. The whole wangfu was cheering because Murong Qi Qi was able to break the curse of the wedding night.
In the past, so many wangfei¡¯s died. Not to mention outsiders, even they who lived with Feng Cang felt frightened. The marriage of Feng Cang this time, many people still had the thought ¡®maybe this wangfei will also die on the wedding night¡¯. They didn¡¯t expect that in the end Murong Qi Qi was safe.
And the old pce maid of just now, when she came out of Tingsong building, she was all smiles, in high spirits and running as fast as flying...
Now, looking at wangye, he was also full of energy and between her eyebrows showed spring. And Murong Qi Qi had a face full of shyness. What did this mean? This meant that wangye was very happy during this wedding night, ah! Wangfei... of course, she was also very happy, ah! Otherwise, why was she being shy?!
The people of wangfu was very festive. Feng Qi let people lit firecrackers at the entrance to express the festiveness and let those people who hid outside of the wangfu and had fantasy about his master,pletely give up.
¡°Slowly!¡± Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and appeared at wangfu¡¯s entrance. The two entered the carriage to go to the pce and pay their gratitude. When the people outside of wangfu saw the very alive Murong Qi Qi, they were stunned.
Very alive! Princess Zhao Yang safely passed the wedding night!
Looking at Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s loving appearance, nothing seemed to have happened. This time, Feng Cang¡¯s rumors of cursing his wivespletely broke down. Pity those people who wanted to win over Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body and get rich. Now they were in despair...
At the pce, when the old pce maid put the handkerchief with the virgin blood on the tray to show Dongfang Lan, this empress dowager who spent the night very scared and on edge, finally smiled.
¡°Good! Good, good! Really great! So great!¡± Dongfang Lan was happy for Feng Cang from the bottom of her heart. Now, she won¡¯t think again that Murong Qi Qi is Murong Tai¡¯s daughter. To be able to safely pass the wedding night; this meant that this child was blessed! This also meant that her and Feng Cang¡¯s eight characters were a match! This was a match made from heaven! The perfect couple on earth!
¡°Congrattions empress dowager!¡± The old pce maid was already an old person of the pce. Naturally, she knew what Dongfang Lan was thinking. She immediately congratted Dongfang Lan.
¡°Good! Reward! Reward!¡± With Dongfang Lan¡¯s order, Qing Gu took out arge gold ingot and stuffed in the old pce maid¡¯s hand.
¡°Aiyo, how could this be alright?! This ve only run the errand; how could this ve take the reward from empress dowager?!¡± Only from the weight, the old pce maid knew the worth of this ingot. She quickly turned it down.
¡°A reward to you is yours! ept it! Aijia4 is happy today! Everyone would get rewarded!¡±
Dongfang Lan was happy. The people of Jinxuan pce was even happier. Everyone knew that empress dowager loves Nan Lin wang the most. Now, Nan Lin wang finally met the woman of his fate, people blessed this new couple from the bottom of their hearts.
Chapter 118 The truth is so cruel (2)
Chapter 118 The truth is so cruel (2) part 1
When Feng Cang arrived at the pce, the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, consort De and crown princess Yu Shi Shi were also there. Everyone was waiting for them. With Wanyan Lie¡¯s grace, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t bow and only slightly paid her respect. Then, she was invited to sit down.
¡°Not bad! Very great!¡± Wanyan Lie looked smilingly at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. He nodded repeatedly, ¡°Zhen1 feels happy for you!¡±
¡°Thanking uncle!¡± Feng Cang answered smilingly, but his hand held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft body. At this time, Murong Qi Qi had her head lowered. Her face showed a smile of shyness. With one look, you would know she was a new wife.
Seeing Feng Cang being happy, inside Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart appeared an indescribable feeling. For so many years, his n had never failed. This time, because of that bitch Yue Lan Zhi, one step went wrong, all steps went wrong. It seemed that he needed to get into contact with Nan Feng country! Feng Cang¡¯s happy smile was like a thorn, piercing his heart, making him bleed when he pulls that thorn out.
Wanyan Lie was unhappy, Yu Shi Shi was even more unhappy. The man who originally belonged to her became Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. The embrace which originally belonged to her became Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. Seeing Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi show love towards each other in public, Yu Shi Shi¡¯s nails dug deep in her palm.
Just as Yu Shi Shi was staring at Feng Cang¡¯s big hand which was holding Murong Qi Qi, a voice screamed, ¡°Emperor, save me!¡± Then a girl stumbled and appeared in front of everyone. That girl¡¯s hair was dishevelled. On her body were only a few pieces of fabric. She was barefoot and walked in a hurry as if she couldn¡¯t feel the cold.
¡°Save me!¡±
When Murong Qing Lian entered and saw Wanyan Lie sitting in the front, all the grievances in her heart vented out, ¡°Wa...,¡± She cried making everyone dumbfounded. Who was this woman? Why was she like this?
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s appearance made the gentle smile on Dongfang Lan stiffen. This was her grandson¡¯s big day, howe such a woman appeared and dampened the spirit
¡°Emperor, save me! Emperor, save me!¡±
On the shoulders of Murong Qing Lian who had been tortured by Wanyan Hong for the whole night, were bloody teeth marks. Those purple and blue bruises were very shocking to the eyes, making Wanyan Lie frown. ¡°Are you not Xi Qi¡¯s contestant? Howe you¡¯re like this?¡±
After Wanyan Lie said that, Lin Ke Xin remembered, ¡°That¡¯s right! Emperor, she is Murong Qing Lian. Speaking of this, she is Nan Lin wangfei¡¯s2 little sister. She¡¯s Murong Tai¡¯s youngest daughter!¡±
Being mentioned by Lin Ke Xin, Murong Qi Qi could no longer pretend not to know. She could only ask people to bring some clothes to cover the bruises on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body.
¡°Thank you...¡± After wearing clothes and put on socks and shoes, Murong Qing Lian felt a lot warmer. She ran all the way here. She took advantage that Wanyan Hong wasn¡¯t paying attention and ran out. Just now, she was warm from running and didn¡¯t feel the cold. Now, that she stopped running, she couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
¡°What had happened?¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s face was cold and looked at the pale faced Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Emperor, save me...his highness the crown prince, he...¡±
Murong Qing Lian hadn¡¯t finished speaking when a voice came over, ¡°Emperor father, this subject son wants to marry miss Murong as a cefei3 !¡±
Hearing Wanyan Hong¡¯s voice, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body involuntarily trembled, ¡°No! I don¡¯t want! I don¡¯t want to marry him! He¡¯s a sicko! He, he raped me...woowoowoo...¡±
A ¡®rape¡¯ made the crowd think back about those bruises on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body. They immediately understood what happened. Lin Ke Xin looked once heartfully at Murong Qing Lian. Then she looked once at Murong Qi.
The two sisters of Murong family have good means, ah! The big sister married Nan Lin wang4, the little sister connected with the imperial crown prince. Truly powerful! Lin Ke Xin smiled and continued to maintain her gentle posture to watch a y.
¡°Don¡¯t want? Could it be you want to be the main consort?¡± Wanyan Hong slowly approached Murong Qing Lian. Seeing him approach, Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t help but backed. In the end, she idently tripped but had been timely pulled up by Wanyan Hong.
¡°Let me go! You sicko!¡± Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t dare to think about what she encountered the night before.
This man insulted her the whole night! It was an endless bullying. No matter if it was the front or the back, all was tortured by him till they hovered between life and death. Especially that ce; he actually touched there, making her feel very disgusted. She also got to know Wanyan Hong¡¯s sick side.
¡°I¡¯m a sicko? Didn¡¯t you enjoy it before very much?¡±
Wanyan Hong fiercely pinched Murong Qing Lian¡¯s waist and looked ferociously at her. This woman dared to kick his lifeblood (genitals), truly daring. Fortunately, he protected it in time, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to use it anymore. Truly a vicious woman! However, she¡¯s truly to his taste.
Seeing Murong Qing Lian struggling and wanted to beat him, Wanyan Hong grabbed her fist. He smiled, ¡°Miss Murong, perhaps in your body there¡¯s already this crown prince¡¯s blood and flesh. Could it be that you want to let Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial blood wander in themoner world?¡±
¡°No! Even if I die, I won¡¯t marry you!¡± Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t ept what happenedst night. Especially, she didn¡¯t even think about marrying Wanyan Hong.
¡°Very well, then go die!¡± Wanyan Hong suddenly let go and pushed Murong Qing Lian to the ground. He also threw a dagger at her, ¡°You want to die, this crown prince will let your wishe true! Be clean and neat, don¡¯t be half dead and then need to rely on this crown prince to finish the deed!¡±
Originally, it was Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi who came to pay their gratitude in the pce. No one expected that in the end, Murong Qing Lian and Wanyan Hong would appear and made such a dramatic scene.
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Seeing his son being more and more outrageous, Wanyan Lie coughed twice. ¡°In the end, what had happened? Hong er5, did you really do things you need to be sorry for towards miss Murong?¡±
¡°Emperor father, we¡¯re each other¡¯s sunshine! This subject son fell in love miss Murong at first sight. This day, after I confessed to miss Murong, she epted this subject son. Then there was that thing that happenedter...Emperor father, this subject son truly loves miss Murong. Asking emperor father to decree marriage on us!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡±
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t want to marry Wanyan Hong. Her true one is Longze Jing Tian, not Wanyan Hong!
¡°You don¡¯t want? Then who¡¯ll want you?¡± Wanyan Hong lowered his body while smiling. He red into Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes which was full of fear, ¡°If you don¡¯t marry this crown prince, could it be, you want to marry another with this broken flower and withered willow body? Would there be someone who would want you?¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s voice was very low, so low only Murong Qing Lian could hear. His words were like a dagger, piercing in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. That was right, she was no longer a virgin anymore. Besides, today so many people saw. It was impossible for Longze Jing Tian to still want her! She wouldn¡¯t be able to be Jing wangfei anymore!
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face became dead gray. Why was it like this? She obviously still had a future yesterday, why did it be like this today?
¡°Be good! don¡¯t be angry anymore!¡± Wanyan Hong pulled Murong Qing Lian up. He carefully arranged her clothes. ¡°This crown prince would be kind to you!¡±
Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t speak, she only cried silently. Her performance, became ¡®acquiescence¡¯ in the eyes of other.
Humph! What a character, ah?! Just now, she courted death, but now she didn¡¯t even have the courage to die. What not wanting to be a cefei? This was obviously loosening the reins only to grasp them better! Lin Ke Xin drank tea and continued to watch the y. This matter was provoked by the crown prince. The crown prince is her son¡¯s rival. So, if she didn¡¯t watch the y now, till when should she wait?
On the scene, the one with the worst expression was none other than Yu Shi Shi. Just now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi irritated her. Now, her man and Murong Qi Qi came to irritate her!
It was not that Yu Shi Shi didn¡¯t understand the bruises on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body, in fact, she understood too well. It seemed that this woman endured a non-human torture, just as she also had in the past. However, she didn¡¯t understand how Wanyan Hong and Murong Qing Lian got together.
Now, Wanyan Hong wanted to give Murong Qing Lian status. Besides, it was the second only to her cefei. This made Yu Shi Shi feel that she got a rival.
Although this man wasn¡¯t the one she wanted, but the power and status this man gave her were things she was obsessed with! If there was no Wanyan Hong then she was nothing. Now, Murong Qing Lian put a foot inside it, the loss Yu Shi Shi suffered at Feng Cang¡¯s was aroused.
¡°Your highness, marriage is amand from the parents and the matchmaker. Miss Murong¡¯s parents are not here and she isn¡¯t our Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen. I fear we should ask prime minister Murong for his opinion on this marriage,¡± Yu Shi Shi gently opened her mouth. Hearing her speak, Wanyan Hong was only humphed coldly once, ¡°This doesn¡¯t matter. Isn¡¯t Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang here? As long as he agrees, it would be fine!¡±
Just as Wanyan Hong mentioned Longze Jing tian, a eunuch trotted in and went to Jing De. He whispered in Jing De¡¯s ears. Jing De nodded and came to Wanyan Lie, ¡°Emperor, Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang Longze Jing Tian seek attendance! The prime minister¡¯s wife Li Qiu Shui also came!¡±
¡°Announce them!¡±
From far away, a man and a woman walked over. The man was Longze Jing Tian and the woman was Li Qiu Shui. The moment, Murong Qing Lian heard Longze Jing Tian came, she broke away from Wanyan Hong¡¯s arms. She looked pitifully at Longze Jing Tian and wanted him to save her.
That Longze Jing Tian appeared was not a surprise. What surprised Murong Qi Qi was Li Qiu Shui. Wasn¡¯t she in Xi Qi? Why did shee here? A bad premonition hit Murong Qi Qi.
As if he sensed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s unusualness, Feng Cang softly asked, ¡°Qing Qing, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Nothing.¡± Murong Qi Qi slowly shook her head, but her eyes had been on Li Qiu Shui.
Aside from Murong Qi Qi, the one who was surprised at Li Qiu Shui¡¯s appearance was Wanyan Lie, ¡°It¡¯s you...¡±
¡°Your majesty, long time no see!¡± Li Qiu Shui¡¯s smile was very generous and the way she talked with Wanyan Lie was like talking to an old friend. That kind of rxation made people couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised.
¡°What did youe for?¡± Wanyan Lie had no interest to reminisce the old times with Li Qiu Shui. The face which originally had a smile, immediately stiffened. Coldness emerged on his face, making Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin who were sitting at the right and left of him, feel cold.
¡°I came to see my daughter, ah!¡±
Longze Jing Tian was also surprised at the way Li Qiu Shui spoke with Wanyan Lie. In the morning, Li Qiu Shui suddenly appeared. She had an expression of missing her daughter very much and begged Longze Jing Tian to bring her in the pce to see Murong Qi Qi once. So, he brought Li Qiu Shui to the pce. He didn¡¯t expect that this Li Qiu Shui an Wanyan Lie knew each other.
Li Qiu Shui said she came to see Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t believe it. Murong Qi Qi also didn¡¯t believe it.
From the smile on Li Qiu Shui¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qi sensed a plot. Could she(LQS) hade for her (MQQ) history? Thinking about those words Li Qiu Shui reminded her before she (MQQ) left (Xi Qi) and also those unclean things on the wedding dress; could it be that she had been waiting for this day?
¡°Qi Qi, take down your Water Moon Mirror!¡± Li Qiu Shui looked at Murong Qi Qi. In her eyes were no longer the love from before, instead there was a smile with coldness and ridicule.
¡°Water Moon Mirror?¡± Hearing this, not only Wanyan Lie, but Dongfang Lan was also startled. The Water Moon Mirror was Wanyan Ming Yue loved possession. In the past, Wanyan Ming Yue often used the Water Moon Mirror to cover her true face to be able to sneak out and y. Why was this treasure at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s?
Feng Cang felt odd at Li Qiu Shui¡¯s words. He had heard about Water Moon Mirror. He also saw it in the past. However, didn¡¯t this thing disappear with Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s death? Why was it at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s? Could it be that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was fake? What he saw was fake?
Seeing the doubts in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Murong Qi Qiughed once bitterly. Originally, she thought about hiding it from Feng Cang. The longer she could keep it a secret, the better. She didn¡¯t take Li Qiu Shui, this ident into ount.
¡°Wangye1, I didn¡¯t deliberately keep it a secret from you (TLNote: uhm...you did)!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were full of guilt, making Feng Cang feel heartache.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t be afraid. You have me!¡±
Inside Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang¡¯s gentleness was a great mockery. ¡°Qi Qi, take down your Water Moon Mirror. Let your (maternal) grandmother, your (maternal) uncle, right, and your biological big brother see your true appearance!¡±
Listening till here, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart sank. Shepletely went cold. Sure enough, sure enough it was like this! She didn¡¯t expect her small trace of hope had been buried alive by Li Qiu Shui.
The people were more puzzled after hearing Li Qiu Shui say that. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi still didn¡¯t take down the Water Moon Mirror, Li Qiu Shui¡¯s hands flew at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face and wanted to seize the thing on her face.
Murong Qi Qi had long been prepared for Li Qiu Shui¡¯s sudden attack. Just as Li Qiu Shui¡¯s hands was about to fell on her face, Murong Qi Qi grabbed Li Qiu Shui¡¯s hands and fixed her there.
That Murong Qi Qi knew martial arts was outside of Li Qiu Shui¡¯s expectation. Seeing the coldness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Li Qiu Shuiughed, ¡°What, you don¡¯t dare to take it off? Be good! Let mother help you take down the Water Moon Mirror!¡±
¡°You¡¯re not my mother!¡± Murong Qi Qi kicked Li Qiu Shui chest. Li Qiu Shui backed and fell at a distance.
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Her chest felt pain. Li Qiu Shui coughed blood. ¡°You¡¯re indeed Feng Xie and Ming Yue¡¯s daughter. You actually lied to everyone about having martial arts!¡±
¡°What about that I have martial arts?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi stood up like a gant martyr and walked to the centre of the hall.
¡°What¡¯s the matter, ah?!¡± Lin Ke Xin was muddleheaded. ¡°What (maternal) grandmother and uncle? What are you talking about?!¡±
¡°Let her say it, ah! Hahaha! When she takes down the Water Moon Mirror, you would see and would understand everything!¡± While Li Qiu Shui wasughing, the corners of her mouth were bleeding. However, she seemed as if she couldn¡¯t feel the pain. It was as if now was her happiest moment.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Murong Qi Qi knew that she couldn¡¯t cover this matter up today. It seemed that she could only face reality.
Murong Qi Qi raised her hand and removed the Water Moon Mirror from her face, revealing her original face.
¡°Ah...¡± The crutch with a dragon head in Dongfang Lan¡¯s hand fell with a ¡®bang¡¯ on the ground. ¡°Ming Yue, you are, Ming Yue...¡±
Wanyan Lie was also stunned. He collected so many women who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue, but none could bepared to the person in front of him. That is Ming Yue¡¯s face, that is Ming Yue¡¯s brows, that is Ming Yue¡¯s nose, that is Ming Yue¡¯s lips, even the aura from her body was Ming Yue¡¯s...
¡°Qing Qing...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s heart beat very fast. So, so, it was like this... ¡°No wonder you refused...¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t finish his words, but he and Murong Qi Qi understood the meaning of those words.
¡°Wangye, I also only got to know the day before yesterday and didn¡¯t keep it deliberately from you.¡± Murong Qi Qi was afraid that Feng Cang would misunderstood and quickly exined, ¡°I truly didn¡¯t do it intentionally.¡±
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, Li Qiu Shuiughed the hardest. She was also the happiest person, ¡°Feng Xie! Did you see?! Your daughter married your son! Hahaha! Your biological daughter became you son¡¯s wife, did you see?!¡±
Li Qiu Shui¡¯s words answered the questions in everyone¡¯s heart.
¡°What did you say? You said, she¡¯s Ming Yue¡¯s daughter?¡± Wanyan Lie rushed to her and grabbed her hand, ¡°That child is still alive, isn¡¯t it? You took away that child? That child is her, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s right! I took her away! I strangled my own daughter and let her take the ce of my daughter to be raised in Murong household. I let her get the surname Murong and let her be the third miss Murong! Hahaha!¡±
Li Qiu Shuiughed till she cried. She looked viciously at Murong Qi Qi. All her emotions could only be described with the word ¡®hate¡¯. ¡°You¡¯re not my biological daughter. Your father was Bei Zhou¡¯s great general Feng Xie. Your birth mother is Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, you know your identity!¡±
¡°Why? Why did you do it?¡± Although she guessed that perhaps this matter had something to do with Li Qiu Shui, but Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t find the reason why Li Qiu Shui hates Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Could there be something more inside this?
¡°Why? You ask me why?¡±
As if she heard the biggest joke, Li Qiu Shui struggled and got away from Wanyan Lie¡¯s grab. She wiped the blood from her mouth and walked to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Because Wanyan Ming Yue stole the man I loved! Because Feng Xie chose Wanyan Ming Yue and abandoned me! Because they were like a couple of immortals. Because they were happy making me envy and hate them!¡±
Chapter 119 The truth is so cruel (3)
Chapter 119 The truth is so cruel (3)
The original beautiful face of Li Qiu Shui because of the hatred from her eyes, the harmony of her face was destroyed. And her words let the whole crowd be shocked. So, it was like that...
Everyone was in a huge shock. Wanyan Lie looked full of disbelief at Murong Qi Qi. His gaze wasplex...
Once, he hoped very much for Ming Yue to give birth to a daughter like Ming Yue. Then he would give this child his whole love (not love between man and woman) and let her be the happiest person in this world. It was just, when Li Qiu Shui brought back Ming Yue, Ming Yue¡¯s bulged belly had long ttened.
He thought that child died and was sad for a long time because of it. However, when Murong Qi Qi was standing so alive in front of him with Ming Yue¡¯s face and Feng Xie¡¯s eyes, Wanyan Lie felt that his dead heart began to beat again.
¡°Do you know why I named you Qi Qi? Because you were born on the seventh of July! Double seven festival (Chinese valentine), the day the cowherd and the weaving maid meet. Ming Yue used all her strength to give birth to you. She entrusted you to me and wanted to me to bring you back to Bei Zhou and hand you to the empress dowager.¡±
Murong Qi Qi (ĽÈÝÆßÆß): ÆßÆß(qiqi) is seven seven.
¡°Haha, she¡¯s so silly! She actually regarded me as her best friend and thought I would help her achieve her wish, so she could go to the underworld to meet Feng Xie. I won¡¯t let her wishe true! Feng Xie died. I will not let her apany Feng Xie, because she¡¯s not qualified! So, I took you! I waited for today; waited to have your name go down in history as a byword for infamy!¡±
Li Qiu Shui¡¯s voice was with crazyughter and tears fell from her eyes. She endured for so many years just to wait for today!
¡°You¡¯re so vicious! You even murdered your own daughter!¡± Murong Qi Qipletely understood everything. A woman, because of hatred caused by love, became so extreme.
¡°Bah! That child is not my daughter!¡± Li Qiu Shui turned her head slightly and looked at Murong Qi Qi, ¡°I will only give birth to the child of the man I love, but he didn¡¯t love me and married someone else. So, I made a promise to myself to never give birth to the child of another man. Since I got pregnant, then I could only be ruthless!¡±
¡°Shui er1, what did you say? You said you truly murdered our child?¡± A voice came. Murong Tai appeared in front of everyone with an expression of disbelief, ¡°Tell me, what you said is not true!¡±
Everyone was surprised at seeing Murong Tai. No one expected that Xi Qi¡¯s dignified prime minister would pretend to be Longze Jing Tian¡¯s servant and followed him here. If it wasn¡¯t because he took down the human skin mask on his face, no one would have noticed.
¡°You followed me?¡±
Seeing Murong Tai, aside from surprise, Li Qiu Shui felt anger, ¡°Murong Tai, when have you be like this? You actually followed me? You¡¯re too despicable! I didn¡¯t think you¡¯re such a person!¡±
¡°You left in a hurry. I was worried that something would happen to you. That was why I followed you. I didn¡¯t think, you¡¯lle to Yan capital. Tell me, everything you just said weren¡¯t true! Qi Qi is our child, not Feng Xie¡¯s. Tell me, Qi Qi is our biological daughter!¡±
Murong Tai clutched Li Qiu Shui¡¯s hand and shook it desperately. He tailed behind her but he had never expected to hear these things. The woman he loved his whole life actually murdered their child. She also said such things. Murong Tai really couldn¡¯t believe it!
This must be Li Qiu Shui¡¯s angry words. It must be like this! Qi Qi is certainly their child; how would she suddenly be Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s child? What had happened for her to say that? Could it be that he did something wrong?
¡°Shui er, tell them. Tell them you¡¯re lying to them. What you said is not the truth! Qi Qi is my daughter! She¡¯s my daughter!¡±
¡°F*** off!¡± Although injured, but Li Qiu Shui was someone who practiced martial arts and therefore a lot stronger than the weak schr Murong Tai. With one palm, she pushed Murong Tai to the ground, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me with your filty hands! Making me feel disgusted!¡±
Li Qiu Shui¡¯s words deeply hurt Murong Tai. Even though he¡¯s a man, but Murong Tai¡¯s eyes had ayer of wetness. She felt he¡¯s disgusted? Why was it like this? Could this be the reason why she had been staying in the temple?
¡°Tell me, it¡¯s not true! Tell me, Qi Qi is our child!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡±
Murong Tai¡¯s words were like a joke to Li Qiu Shui. She walked to Murong Tai like a queen. She looked condescending at him. Her eyes were full of contempt, ¡°You¡¯re only a poor country boy. You only had a good face and your study was so so. Do you think that as Li n¡¯s eldest miss, I would fancy you?!¡±
¡°Murong Tai, if it wasn¡¯t because of me and the Li family behind me, you would only be a fallen schr and would be cultivating and hoeing the field at that poor ce of your home. At most, you would be a poor teacher. What could you do? Who do you think you are?¡±
¡°Do you think you¡¯re a cut above others after putting on the prime minister¡¯s robe? Without me, you¡¯re nothing!¡±
¡°I...,¡± Murong Tai¡¯s lips trmbled. He had never expected that he was so unbearable in Li Qiu Shui¡¯s heart. Although, when Li Qiu Shui picked him, it let him be in fear and excitement for a long time. Murong Tai once thought that marrying Li Qiu Shui was the biggest blessing in his life. However, he never thought that Li Qiu Shui looked at him this way.
¡°Murong Tai, I tell you, I¡¯ve never ever loved you! Qi Qi is not your daughter and Xue Lian is also not! I don¡¯t love you and also won¡¯t have children for you. I never will! Do you know why every time after you touched me, I would take a bath? You thought that it was because I¡¯m ady and pay attention to this. I tell you, you¡¯re wrong! I just hate the fact that on my body there¡¯s another man¡¯s smell. Dirty, so dirty...¡±
Murong Xue Lian is Murong Tai¡¯s eldest daughter. The imperial noble consort of Xi Qi.
Thisst sentence from Li Qiu Shui truly defeated Murong Tai.
His long thoughts and memories whichsted for sixteen years, because of this ¡®never will¡¯ from Li Qiu Shui, were broken. So, all those lingering and love from her were a pretence. So, in her heart, she had always thought about Feng Xie and couldn¡¯t put Feng Xie down. So, he was the fool. For so many years, he foolishly waited for her!
¡°Since you don¡¯t love me, why did you marry me?¡± This time, Murong Tai¡¯s figure looked very sorry. When Li Qiu Shui told him the truth, his heart had been defeated. In a moment, he seemed to have aged a lot; his face paled and his expression deteriorated.
At this point, the thing Murong Tai was concerned about, was not his face of being a country¡¯s prime minister. The things that truly hurt him were those heartless and harsh words of Li Qiu Shui and that Li Qiu Shui had never loved him!
Murong Tai didn¡¯t lose hope and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Li Qiu Shui sneered, ¡°Because you were docile and obedient, because you didn¡¯t have any background and power. If you wanted to get more powerful, you needed to rely on me. You couldn¡¯t get out of my grasp...and because, you were willing to be my dog; willing to listen to my every call and willing to be manipted by me! Do...you understand now?!¡±
¡®Bang...¡¯ Murong Tai who originally stood up got dizzy. Once again, he fell on the ground. Seeing him being so ¡®useless¡¯, the ridicule and contempt on Li Qiu Shui¡¯s face got more intense.
¡°Tsk, tsk, look at you, truly a spineless coward! Since I spoke till here, I may as well tell you. I picked up Xue Lian. She¡¯s not a child I had with you. The moment that child was born, I let people threw her away. I will not give birth to children of the man I don¡¯t love! Especially you! Because you¡¯re not worthy!¡±
On the scene, no matter if it was a country¡¯s monarch Wanyan Lie or empress dowager Dongfang Lan, they all had been shocked by Li Qiu Shui¡¯s words. There was actually such a vicious woman, actually... (Authors note: please allow Rabbit¡¯s loss of vocabry, Rabbit truly have no way to describe aunt Qiu Shui¡¯s sick mind).
The author¡¯s penname is Candle Wax Rabbit. She always uses Rabbit to describe herself
The only one who kept her calm was Murong Qi Qi, the involved party. Murong Qi Qi had never thought that the truth was like this. Looking at the beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in ck clothes on the scene, Murong Qi Qi walked step by step to her.
¡°Because you loved Feng Xie and couldn¡¯t get his love, that was why you nned all of these? That was why, before I married, you told me to get pregnant quickly and also put aphrodisiac fragrance on the wedding dress?¡±
¡°You found out?¡± Li Qiu Shui chuckled at Murong Qi Qi cleverness, ¡°However, it seemed that you discovered toote! Now, it¡¯s toote! I heard you consummated the marriage with Feng Cang yesterday, hahahaha...hahahaha...¡±
¡°I¡¯m so happy! I¡¯ve never been so happy before! If Wanyan Ming Yue knew her daughter and son married and consummated the marriage, would she jump out of the coffin from anger?! Would she not be peaceful in the afterlife? This is the price for taking away the man I love! Hahahaha!¡±
Hearing Li Qiu Shui¡¯s words, Dongfang Lan became dizzy and almost fainted. Qing Gu quickly lent her an arm of support, ¡°Empress dowager, empress dowager, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°I...,¡± A breath choked in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart. The breath couldn¡¯t go up nor down.
Just the thought of the redness on the handkerchief, Dongfang Lan almost fainted. Heavens, what did she do so wrong to receive such punishment?! Her daughter and son-inw died a tragic death; the wife her grandson married is actually her biological granddaughter. No matter who, when they receive such news, no one would be able to bear it.
¡°Grandmother!¡± Seeing Dongfang Lan like that, Murong Qi Qi went forward to support her. Her small hands were on the elder¡¯s back. A warmth appeared through Dongfang Lan¡¯s chest.
After a while, Dongfang Lan was able to breath.
¡°Qi Qi...¡± Dongfang Lan held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. Her tears fell. ¡°No wonder aijia2 felt that you looked familiar. No wonder aijia felt your eyes looked like someone I knew and felt close to you. What aijia didn¡¯t expect is that you¡¯re my biological granddaughter. My pitiful child, ah...¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s tears let Li Qiu Shui be greatly satisfied. Her mouth was raised in an exaggerated ridiculing arc. She stared at Dongfang Lan who was crying in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s arms, ¡°I heard you consummated the marriage. Hahaha. Congrattions! You¡¯re the first couple in this world, ah!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Wanyan Lie roared and interrupted Li Qiu Shui. Such a result was truly outside of his expectations. Murong Qi Qi is actually Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter and is his niece. Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart was couldn¡¯t bear it. Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi even...
¡°Shut up? What I said is the truth! Could it be that if I don¡¯t say it, this matter wouldn¡¯t exist?!¡±
¡°Not necessarily...¡± Feng Cang¡¯s was cool with a trace of chilliness.
Seeing that the one who spoke was Feng Cang who remained silent for a long time, Li Qiu Shui was happy, ¡°What, do you dare to say that between you there¡¯s no feelings? Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you? Do you dare to say that you didn¡¯t consummate the marriage?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you. Last night, benwang3 didn¡¯t feel well and couldn¡¯t consummate the marriage. The thing on the handkerchief is the blood benwang got from a pigeon and isn¡¯t like what you think.¡±
¡°What?¡± Several people said this at the same time. It was different people, but all of their voices revealed a trace happiness from being surprised. Among them was Longze Jing Tian and Wanyan Hong.
Long, when Murong Qi Qi took down the Water Moon Mirror, Longze Jing Tian recognized her...Du Xian Er.
The woman he had been searching for was in fact in front of him. Besides, he also fell in love with the ordinary her. This made Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t help but to exim in admiration at the fate of this world. It turned out that Murong Qi Qi is truly Du Xian Er. She actually yed him and toyed with him in the palm of her hand. He almost missed her!
Just now, Longze Jing Tian had been carefully recalling when he had offended Murong Qi Qi. In the end, he finally remembered. It was when they met the first time; after she saved him, he said that he needed to break off the engagement and get rid of that rubbish of the prime minister¡¯s. Presumably, she must¡¯ve heard this and got revenge on him like this!
Just now, when he saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s true appearance, Longze Jing Tian almost stopped breathing. That day, it was night. Under the moonlight, she was like a pure lily. Today, wearing a red pce robe, she was like a rose with thorns, making people unable to stop themselves from loving her. Just now, when he listened to Li Qiu Shui, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart almost went up his throat.
He was even thinking about how to protect Murong Qi Qi if she is Feng Cang¡¯s biological little sister and something truly happened between them. Was it to kill Li Qiu Shui to cover this scandal, then take the opportunity to show Wanyan Lie his desire for a marriage alliance and marry Murong Qi Qi or...
Now Feng Cang said that nothing happened between them. The blood on that handkerchief was a pigeon¡¯s. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart almost jumped out of his throat. Was this a gift and blessing from the heavens? To let him regain his lost treasure again? To let him have the opportunity again to get Murong Qi Qi?
Compared to Longze Jing Tian, Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes showed desire.
Little aunt Wanyan Ming Yue was once the number one beauty of the world. Her appearance and smiling face deeply engraved in the younger Wanyan Hong¡¯s heart. Even after adulthood, he often dreamed about little aunt. Now, seeing Murong Qi Qi; she was even more beautiful than Wanyan Ming Yue. Wanyan Hong¡¯s heart beat very fast. He had long thrown the matter of Murong Qing Lian to the clouds.
Emperor father pampered Feng Cang so much. After getting to know Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity, he would certainly pamper Murong Qi Qi more. Would emperor father love the house and its crow and would also pay more attention to him, this crown prince? Then, wouldn¡¯t Feng Cang also note steal the throne from him?
Love the house and its crow: love me, love all thate with me. Love me, love my dog.
The ones who were truly happy was only Dongfang Lan and Wanyan Lie. That nothing happened between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi meant that this wouldn¡¯t hurt these two children¡¯s reputation and they wouldn¡¯t be hurt mentally and physically by this. Of course, this was a great thing, ah!
As for Wanyan Lie, his mood wasplicated. Finding the long-lost niece let Wanyan Lie feel a never before anticipation. It was like a dry river encountering rain. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance now was like that of Wanyan Ming Yue before she married; clean, innocent, making his old heart beat very fast.
Ming Yue, is it that you finally understood my heart? That was why you send Qi Qi? Ming Yue, I would definitely take good care of Qi Qi. I would give her the best things in the world. I would give her this whole world. I would let her be the most respectable and precious woman of this world!
Wanyan Lie¡¯s happiness fell into empress and consort De¡¯s eyes. The two silently shouted ¡®bad¡¯.
Because of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s sake, Wanyan Lie particrly favored Feng Cang. Now, there¡¯s a Murong Qi Qi. Then wouldn¡¯t Feng family get all the benefits? How could this be right?! Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtionship was originally very good. If this woman knew how to y tricks and let Wanyan Lie pass the throne to Feng Cang, which was not impossible for Wanyan Lie to do...
What to do? The two women¡¯s first reaction was to consider the matter of their sons getting the throne. After Li Bing saw the way Wanyan Hong looked at Murong Qi Qi, she immediately understood what her son wanted.
If Murong Qi Qi truly was Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie¡¯s daughter, well, she¡¯s at a marriageable age. Promising her to Wanyan Hong is the best! Like that, they could use Wanyan Lie¡¯s love for Murong Qi Qi to consolidate Wanyan Hong¡¯s status!
How could Lin Ke Xin not understand this pair of mother and son¡¯s thoughts?! These two thought beautifully. Now, they didn¡¯t even know if Murong Qi Qi is truly princess Ming Yue¡¯s daughter. If she is, Wanyan Hong already has a crown princess. Only her Wanyan Yi didn¡¯t have a main consort. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t even have a cefei4. Murong Qi Qi would certainly be her daughter-inw.
The matter wasn¡¯t made clear yet, the people on the scene were already thinking how topete for Murong Qi Qi.
The moment Li Qiu Shui heard Feng Cang say that nothing happened on the wedding night, she didn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Humph, Nan Lin wang¡¯s 5 reaction is quick, ah! Now, you say this; do you take us as fools? Do you think I would believe it? With a delicate as flower and refined as a precious jade woman at your side, besides she is the one you love, you won¡¯t be moved?¡±
Delicate as flower and refined as a precious: exquisite woman
Li Qiu Shui didn¡¯t believe it. Murong Qi Qi was toozy to exin. She took a dagger and cut of the sleeve of her left arm and revealed the red gecko cinnabar mark. Seeing the gecko cinnabar mark, Li Qiu Shui couldn¡¯t close her mouth, ¡°How could this be? How could this be? Impossible!¡± Li Qiu Shui wanted to rush over to take a look, but had been pushed away with one palm by Feng Cang. Then, Feng Cang¡¯s coat draped over Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I¡¯m sorry for letting your ne to nothing!¡± Seeing the stunned expression of Li Qiu Shui, Murong Qi Qi humphed coldly once, ¡°Since you said that you took me away from my mother princess Ming Yue, then where¡¯s princess Ming Yue? Didn¡¯t she burn to death with my father Feng Xie? Could it be that the person who died wasn¡¯t her?¡±
The Legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Fairy
There once was a young, poor, but kind-hearted cowherd called Ning, and an old ox. The ox actually was once the god of cattle, but downgraded as he had vited thew of heaven. Ning once saved the ox when it was sick. In order to show its gratitude, the old ox helped Ning get acquainted with Zhin¨¹ (a fairy, the seventh daughter of a goddess and the Jade Emperor) when she escaped from her boring life in heaven to look for fun on earth.
Zhin¨¹ soon fell in love with Ning and they got married without the knowledge of the goddess. Ning and Zhin¨¹ lived a happy life together; Ning worked in the field while Zhin¨¹ did weaving at home. After a few years passed, they had two children, one boy and one girl.
However, the Goddess of Heaven (Zhin¨¹¡¯s mother) found out that Zhin¨¹, a fairy girl, had married a mere mortal. The goddess was furious and sent celestial soldiers to bring Zhin¨¹ back. Ning was very upset when he found his wife was taken back to heaven. Then his ox asked Ning to kill it and put on its hide, so he would be able to go up to heaven to find his wife. Crying bitterly, he killed the ox, put on the skin, and carried his two beloved children off to heaven to find Zhin¨¹.
Just before he caught up with Zhin¨¹, the goddess of heaven took out her hairpin and created a huge river between them, and they were separated forever by the river thatter became known as the Milky Way.
Heartbroken, he and his children could only weep bitterly. However, their love moved all the magpies to take pity on them, and they flew up into heaven to form a bridge over the river, so Ning and Zhin¨¹ could meet on the magpie bridge. The goddess was also moved by their love, so she allowed them a meeting on the magpie bridge on that day every year (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month).

Chapter 120 The truth is so cruel (4)
¡°She? How would she die?! The one who died was her maidservant Cai Hua! She (CH) was the scapegoat! Ming Yue had great fortune and big blessing, how would she die?!¡± When Li Qiu Shui spoke, her gaze fell on Wanyan Lie, making Wanyan Lie startled. This woman is a madman. Could she want to pour out everything that happened in the past? No! Can¡¯t let her say!
¡°Ming Yue didn¡¯t die? Where is she?¡± The moment Dongfang Lan heard that, she stood up. Her daughter didn¡¯t die? Ming Yue didn¡¯t die!
¡°Why do I need to tell you?! Since I¡¯m unhappy, I¡¯ll let all of you be unhappy! Besides, which one of your ears heard me say that she is still alive? I only said that after Ming Yue gave birth to her, she didn¡¯t die. How would I know what happened after that?¡±
¡°What did you do to my Ming Yue?¡± Dongfang was clearly able to see the hate in Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes. She immediately determined that everything was done by Li Qiu Shui, including the battle fifteen years ago at Yandang Mountain. Maybe, Li Qiu Shui had credit in it. ¡°Talk!¡± Wanyan Lie also berated at a side.
Although Dongfang Lan was very imposing, but Li Qiu Shui wasn¡¯t afraid.
She came here today and didn¡¯t expect to go out alive from here. Originally, she thought toe look at the joke of Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. How would she know that the matter didn¡¯t happen ording to how she nned? She nned for so long, but everything was for nothing. This let all the grief and indignation in Li Qiu Shui¡¯s heart be released.
¡°Humph, what right do you have tomand me?¡± Li Qiu Shui pointed at Dongfang Lan. Then she turned to Wanyan Lie, ¡°And you, you even more don¡¯t have the right tomand me!¡±
Li Qiu Shuiughed while her eyes were fixed on Wanyan Lie. Her expression was mysterious, ¡°What are you?! Do you think your nauseous face could be hidden from them for a whole life? You let me talk? What do you want me to talk about? Talk about how I calcted Feng Xie or talk about the past rtionship between me and you or talk about that you like your own biological...¡±
¡°Presumptuous!¡± Not waiting for Li Qiu Shui to finish, in her lower abdomen was a four-inch sword. It went from her abdomen directly into her back.
¡°Pooh,¡± A mouthful blood of Li Qiu Shui sprayed on Wanyan Lie¡¯s face. Now, he wanted to silence her? He wanted to kill her to block her mouth? He wanted to cover the thing that happened that year? He wanted to hide his true self?
¡°You want to silence...¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand put more force. The swordpletely buried into Li Qiu Shui¡¯s stomach. ¡®Shua...¡¯ Wanyan Lie fiercely pulled out the sword stained with blood. Blood burst out form the wound.
¡°Shui er1!¡± Murong Tai couldn¡¯t stop Wanyan Lie. He could only catch Li Qiu Shui, ¡°Shui er, Shui er, how are you feeling?¡±
Seeing Murong Tai¡¯s anxious expression, Li Qiu Shui wanted tough. The blood poured from her mouth were like a stream, unable to stop. In a moment, it stained the ce on her chest. ¡°Didn¡¯t...didn¡¯t expect...in the end...I...died...in...your embrace...¡±
¡°Shui er, don¡¯t talk. I¡¯ll take you to a doctor. Don¡¯t talk!¡± Murong Tai wanted to use his hand to block the blood froming out of Li Qiu Shiu¡¯s wound. However, the blood were like river and poured out through his fingers. It made Murong Tai¡¯s hand red.
¡°It...it¡¯s useless...¡± After every word Li Qiu Shui said, at the corner of her lips a red blood flower would bloom. On her forehead were big drops of cold sweat. Her body also couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Looking at Murong Qi Qi, Li Qiu Shui¡¯s lips trembled slightly.
¡°I...am going to...see your father...or...I didn¡¯t win from your mother...after I died...I will still fight with her...¡±
After finishing, Li Qiu Shui¡¯s head slightly turned. With a magnificent smile, she left the world.
¡°Shui er! Shui er! Ah...¡± Murong Tai screamed sorrowfully like an injured wolf. His screams echoed on throughout the harem. ¡°Shui er, Shui er, don¡¯t leave me! You¡¯re right. There was nothing between us, but I¡¯m willing to be your small dog and follow every day at your feet. It¡¯s fine if you hit me and scold me. Shui er! I beg you, wake up! Don¡¯t leave me!¡±
Seeing Murong Tai like this, Longze Jing Tian was about to go to him andfort him. However, he didn¡¯t expect Murong Tai to take the sword from Wanyan Lie¡¯s hand and stab it in his own belly.
¡°Prime minister!¡± Longze Jing Tian was startled and went forward to support Murong Tai. Unexpectedly, Murong Tai broke free from his hand and tightly hugged Li Qiu Shui, ¡°You want to rest and fly together with Feng Xie...I don¡¯t allow it...even in death...I¡¯ll wind around you...¡±
¡°Prime minister...,¡± Longze Jing Tian had never seen such a hysterical love, ¡°Why, is it worth it?!¡±
¡°Jing wang2...I beg you, burry me and Shui er together...I beg you...¡± Blood poured out of Murong Tai¡¯s nose and mouth. He struggled to keep one breath and tightly pulled Longze Jing Tian¡¯s sleeve, ¡°I beg you...must burry together...¡±
Longze Jing Tian couldn¡¯t understand the kind of love like that of Murong Tai and Li Qiu Shui. However, to a dead man¡¯s request, he still nodded and epted, ¡°Prime minister, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll let you be buried together forever!¡±
With Longze Jing Tian¡¯s promise, Murong Tai revealed a smile of happiness. His hands were slightly trembling. He pushed aside the hair on Li Qiu Shui¡¯s forehead, ¡°Shui...Shui er...we will never...be separated...¡±
¡°Daddy! Daddy!¡± Murong Qing Lian who had been scared out of her wits, now finally realized that her only supporter was about to leave. She quickly crawled to Murong Tai, ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t go! Don¡¯t go!¡±
¡°Eheh...,¡± At this point, Murong Tai was unable to speak. He only smiled and looked once at Murong Qing Lian. There was no regret in his eyes. His eyes were filled with happiness, filling every corner of his eyes.
¡°Daddy!¡±
Murong Tai and Li Qiu Shui¡¯s death made the atmosphere be heavier. They didn¡¯t expect that in this world there was such extreme love. Really don¡¯t know how to describe them. Presumably, the love they weren¡¯t able to get it was the most perfect in their heart!
The only one person who kept a clear mind and was cheering at Li Qiu Shui¡¯s death was Wanyan Lie. Li Qiu Shui died. The person who knew his secret died. In the future, he could still y the role of a good uncle and could pamper Murong Qi Qi like how he pampered Ming Yue. How beautiful, ah!
In Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes, the future was bright, the road was smooth. Regaining Murong Qi Qi was his happiest matter! He fantasied countless of times that he could have one princess so well-behaved like Wanyan Ming Yue. However, it seemed that the consorts¡¯ belly didn¡¯t live up to his expectations. His only daughter was Wanyan Bao Zhu, but she couldn¡¯t evenpare to a half Ming Yue.
Now, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s biological daughter stood very alive in front of him. How could Wanyan Lie not be happy?!
¡°Qi Qi...,¡± Wanyan Lie tried out calling Murong Qi Qi once. When she turned her head, Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart was jumping badly. Alike, so alike! The side of her face was exactly like Ming Yue¡¯s! Wanyan Lie almost cried from joy.
¡°Qi Qi, now you know your identity, do you want to acknowledge your roots and ancestors?¡± Wanyan Lie carefully asked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s opinion. He wanted to know her thoughts. It was no means to force her. This is Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, ah! His niece, ah! And she¡¯s about to be the noblest princess of Bei Zhou!
Acknowledge her roots and ancestors...Hearing this, Murong Qi Qi looked at Feng Cang. The truth was so cruel. She really is Feng Cang¡¯s little sister! Once her lover, now became her biological big brother. Murong Qi Qi somewhat couldn¡¯t ept this, but she had no way not to admit to this fact.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s painful expression made Feng Cang¡¯s heart feel like it was pierced. His little wangfei3 is now so sad like a mncholicrk. She lost her vitality. Obviously, there were tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
¡°Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang couldn¡¯t take it anymore and took Murong Qi Qi in his arms, ¡°Qing Qing, if you want to cry, then cry!¡±
¡°Woo woo...¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words were like a key and opened the closed gate of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Her tears rushed down. Murong Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms and cried like there was no one around.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s crying also made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart hurt. If such a thing didn¡¯t happen, then she would be a perfect couple with Feng Cang and would be so in love that it would make others jealous. However, in a blink of eye, lovers became siblings. How could Murong Qi Qi ept that?
Although Longze Jing Tian also wanted Murong Qi Qi, but seeing her so sad, his heart also felt painful. If he could, he was willing to unwrinkled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s frowning brows, wipe her moist eyes, warm her wounded heart and carefully care for her during her every mood.
Have to say, a beauty crying was a beautiful picture. Looking at Murong Qi Qi sobbing beautifully in Feng Cang¡¯s arms, Wanyan Hong¡¯s heart almost jumped out. He had seen many beauties, but have never seen one like Murong Qi Qi; beautiful to pureness, beautiful to cleanness woman....
Such a beautiful woman should have been made for him. No matter what, he needed to get Murong Qi Qi! Even if it was using dirty handed means, he needed to be unscrupulous!
¡°Qi Qi, don¡¯t cry! It¡¯s uncle who was bad. If you¡¯re sad, then hit uncle!¡±
Wanyan Lie waspletely at his wit¡¯s end at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s crying. It was like in the past, every time Wanyan Ming Yue cried, his heart would hurt very much. Now, seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, he was also sad, ¡°If you don¡¯t want, uncle won¡¯t force, alright?¡±
After hearing Wanyan Lie¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi raised her head. A pair of teary eyes looked at Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t understand the emotions inside those eyes.
¡°I want to go home!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright! Go home! Go home!¡± Wanyan Lie quickly epted Murong Qi Qi¡¯s only request. He immediately let people prepare the carriage to bring Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang back to Nan Lin wangfu.
Originally, Dongfang Lan wanted to have a talk with her granddaughter, but seeing Murong Qi Qi crying so sadly, Dongfang Lan also held back. This child, ah! She must be sad! Her rtion with Feng Cang was so good. no one thought it would be like this! Let her go home! When her mood is better, she would let here into the pce.
Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi without any scruples till they entered the carriage.
The carriage slowly left the pce. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything. Her eyes were red like a small rabbit¡¯s. seeing her like this, Feng Cang¡¯s heart ached a lot. ¡°Qing Qing...¡±
¡°Wangye, now, do I need to call you big brother?¡± A ¡®big brother¡¯ let the tears of Murong Qi Qi fell again. What an ironic appetion! If there wasn¡¯t the ident of Li Qiu Shui, she would call him husband. Now husband became big brother. How could Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart feel great about this?
¡°Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang lowered his head and kissed the tears at the corners of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Qing Qing, if you cry, my world would be raining!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s gentleness made Murong Qi Qi sadder. What about now? What could they do now? Even if Feng Cang was the under one person and above ten thousand people Nan Lin wang, but it still couldn¡¯t change the fact that she¡¯s his little sister. Murong Qi Qi could now only cut off these feelings and burry it forever in her heart.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi just left, Longze Jing Tian stood out, ¡°Your respected majesty, I as Xi Qi¡¯s Jing wang want to ask for a marriage! I want to marry your niece, Feng Cang¡¯s little sister!¡±
Although it had been identified that Murong Qi Qi is Feng family¡¯s daughter, but he didn¡¯t know how to address her. So, Longze Jing Tian could only use ¡®Feng Cang¡¯s little sister¡¯ to address Murong Qi Qi.
The moment he heard Longze Jing Tian took action so quickly, Wanyan Hong also didn¡¯t want to be outdone, ¡°Emperor father, this subject son fell in love with cousin at the first sight. Asking emperor father to decree marriage!¡±
Murong Qing Lian who was just crying for Murong Tai, after seeing these two men ask for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand at the same time, sorrow entered her heart.
Longze Jing Tian is the man she loves, but his mind only thought about Murong Qi Qi. She knew this. However, now Murong Qi Qi became a free woman, making him have a chance. How could Murong Qing Lian not feel sad?
As for Wanyan Hong, just now he was saying he wanted to marry her as his cefei4, his soul and spirit had been turned upside down by Murong Qi Qi. He immediately changed his attitude and wanted to marry Murong Qi Qi. What kind of world was this?!
Soul and spirit turned upside down: head over heels
At this time, in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart, Murong Qi Qi was a wreck. Before, when she saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, Murong Qing Lian was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would have such masterpiece of a face. She waspletely defeated.
Plus, the fact that the two man who are connected to her were asking for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hate for Murong Qi Qi became stronger. Not to mention that Murong Tai died indirectly at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hands. She couldn¡¯t not avenge this!
The two asked to marry Murong Qi Qi at the same time. Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression immediately turned bad. How could he not know what these two were thinking? They actually saw Murong Qi Qi as the tool for the power struggle. Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t tolerate this and would also not allow it!
¡°Too many things happened today. Zhen5 think it¡¯s better to wait till Qi Qi restored her mood. No hurry, don¡¯t worry!¡±
A ¡®don¡¯t worry¡¯ dispatched Longze Jing Tian and Wanyan Hong and also let consort De, Lin Ke Xin be relieved. Exactly! Now, Murong Qi Qi is a golden cake. Everyone wants her! However, only her Yi er is worthy of Murong Qi Qi!
Dongfang Lan got headache because of this series of urrence. She let Qing Gu support her back to Jinxuan pce. Longze Jing Tian saw that Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t ept his proposal. He also understood his (WL) current thoughts. He asked to take Murong Tai¡¯s and Li Qiu Shui¡¯s body away.
Although Wanyan Lie truly wanted to throw Li Qiu Shui¡¯s body outside the suburbs to feed dogs, but since Longze Jing Tian asked, he couldn¡¯t let him (LJT) lost face. Besides, they were only corpses. Why be angry at a corpse?! So, he nodded and agreed.
When Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi returned to Nan Lin wangfu6, Wanyan Lie¡¯s imperial edict had already been decreed; bestowing Murong Qi Qi the title of princess Zhen Guo. When this news reached the wangfu, the whole wangfu exploded.
Princess Zhen Guo means Guarding Country princess and is the highest rank of princesses e.g. princess of first rank.
¡°Why was it like this? Why did wangfei be princess Zhen Guo?¡± Just as everyone was surprised, Feng Cang came down the carriage while holding Murong Qi Qi. When Feng Qi saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, his mouth was wide open, ¡°Princess...¡±
This ¡®princess¡¯ from Feng Qi let everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. These were the old people of wangfu. They served Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, seeing a girl with the same appearance as Wanyan Ming Yue, everyone was stunned with their mouth wide open.
Only Feng Yu recognized the official robe Murong Qi Qi was wearing. It was the one wangfei wore this morning. It was just, why did Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face change to the same one as Wanyan Ming Yue. This made Feng Yu very surprised, ¡°Wangfei, you...¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to speak. She only buried her head in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Seeing her so sad, Feng Cang spoke for her, ¡°It has been verified. Murong Qi Qi is benwang¡¯s7 biological little sister. She is that daughter of father and mother!¡±
¡°What?!¡± The news that came out of Feng Cang¡¯s mouth was truly too horrifying and too scaring. Now, everyone understood why the emperor bestowed Murong Qi Qi the title of princess Zhen Guo.
¡°Miss...¡± Su Mei and Su Yue were shocked. They stood there foolishly. They were shocked that Murong Qi Qi revealed her true appearance and her real identity was actually Feng Cang¡¯s little sister. This scared the wits out of the two. How could it be like this? Miss and guye8 were so much in love. Howe they entered the pce and returned as siblings?
¡°Then, then yesterday...¡± Even Feng Qi who experienced big winds and waves stuttered. One moment, she was wangfei, the next moment she became a princess, is, is the rtionship then not messed up? Besides, yesterday wangye and wangfei consummated the marriage, then wouldn¡¯t it be...Feng Qi didn¡¯t want to think about the consequences of this.
¡°We¡¯re fine.¡± One sentence summed up the matter ofst night. Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi and walked into Tingsong building. The whole way to the wangfu, Murong Qi Qi had been silent. She didn¡¯t even say one word. She didn¡¯t know what to say and didn¡¯t know how to get along with Feng Cang in the future. Before, she was thinking how to keep it a secret. She didn¡¯t expect that today Li Qiu Shui would expose all the truth. So, her thoughts of before, were just her deceiving herself. There was only one truth, but it was so cruel, making her so in pain as not to want to live anymore.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, Feng Cang was also very sad. He poured water and brought it to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, ¡°Qing Qing, drink some! If you continue to cry like this, myst line of defense would copse!
¡°Big brother, in the future, you can¡¯t call me Qing Qing. You need to call me little sister...¡±
After saying this, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell once again. The small face which was originally as big as a palm looked more and more pitiful.
¡°No! It¡¯s not like this!¡± Feng Cang couldn¡¯t take it anymore and pulled Murong Qi Qi into his embrace, ¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s not like this! You¡¯re not my little sister. I¡¯m also not your big brother. We aren¡¯t siblings. We aren¡¯t siblings!¡±
¡°Big brother...don¡¯t deceive yourself...¡± Hearing Feng Cang say that, Murong Qi Qi was sadder. ¡°Big brother, we can never be in love...¡±
¡°No...¡±

Chapter 121 His secret (1)
¡°Qing Qing, listen to me!¡± Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi. His phoenix eyes stared at her tearful eyes, ¡°I¡¯m not your brother. We don¡¯t have any blood rtions. I¡¯m a child adopted by general and princess! We¡¯re not biological siblings!¡±
For a moment, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t react to Feng Cang¡¯s words. She sat there nkly. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out her hand and touch Feng Cang¡¯s face. She looked tenderly at him, ¡°Big brother, I know you may not be able to ept this fact at this moment, but it¡¯s impossible to change the truth!¡±
¡°No!¡± Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. His eyes showed eagerness, ¡°I told the truth! My surname is not Feng! I¡¯m not your big brother!¡±
¡°Big brother...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call me big brother!¡± Feng Cang blocked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips to stop her from calling out those words that made him sad.
Murong Qi Qi cried harder with Feng Cang being like this. He couldn¡¯t ept this matter. He really couldn¡¯t ept this matter. However, what could they do? Their identity as siblings has been determined. When they would announce it to the world; without doubt, she is Feng Cang¡¯s sister.
Feeling the wetness on her cheeks, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. She cried silently and looked so sad, making his heart unable to bear it.
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m truly not your big brother. I¡¯m the son of an old friend of general...¡±
Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cang¡¯s parents died in a disaster. It so happened that the child Wanyan Ming Yue gave birth to was just over a month, but because of a cold, he was at the death¡¯s door. Feng Xie brought back the infant Feng Cang. After getting Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s consent, they let Feng Cang be their child and also let him survive under the identity of Feng n¡¯s eldest young master.
¡°Then you...¡± These wordsing out of Feng Cang¡¯s mouth were unimaginable to Murong Qi Qi. She even suspected that Feng Cang made up this story to appease her and let her not be sad.
¡°My original surname was Long.¡±
Long! Murong Qi Qi thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes opened wide and stared at Feng Cang¡¯s face. ¡°Everywhere beneath the sun, there are not many people with the surname Long. The former Qin¡¯s imperial family¡¯s surname was Long...¡±
Feng Cang gently smiled at Murong Qi Qi for guessing his identity so soon. He pulled her hair on her forehead to the back, ¡°That¡¯s right. Qing Qing, my identity is the same as the one you¡¯re thinking of!¡±
This explosive news almost made Murong Qi Qi faint. Feng Cang was a prince of former Qin? Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cang was born. Twenty-five years ago was also the time the former Qin had been divided into three countries and perished. Then, Feng Cang¡¯s father was the former Qin¡¯s emperor?
¡°You are...¡± Murong Qi Qi thought for a long time, but didn¡¯te up with the words to describe Feng Cang¡¯s identity.
¡°The remaining evil element of former Qin...¡±
Murong Qi Qiughed at the Feng Cang¡¯s description of himself. Although she didn¡¯t know why Feng Xie took Feng Cang in during that turbulent time, but there must have been a reason!
¡°Wangye,1 you¡¯re no lying to me, right?¡± Because of her smile, most of the sadness disappeared from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. Her small nose was red. Because of her crying, the skin around her eyes was also red.
¡°No! I¡¯m really not your big brother!¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi happy, Feng Cang also slowly put down his worries.
¡°Then what¡¯s your real identity?¡±
Don¡¯t know why, although Murong Qi Qi wanted to continue doubting his words, but the trust she had in Feng Cang let her put all her uncertainties and hesitations into her stomach and didn¡¯t say them out loud. Believe him! That was the voiceing from the bottom of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart.
¡°Be good. Let me tell you slowly.¡± Feng Cangughed at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s impatience. He tickled her red nose and wiped her tears for her.
¡°My biological father was the former Qin¡¯s crown prince Long Yu. My birth mother was Dong Lu¡¯s princess Xia Wan Ying.¡±
It turned out that former Qin¡¯s crown prince Long Yu and Dong Lu¡¯s princess Xia Wan Ying were married. Also, the two had met in private before marrying. Long Yu brimmed over with talent. Xia Wan Ying was beautiful and touching. Gifted schr and beautifuldy. They fell in love at first sight. Originally, it was a beautiful story. However,ter, a series of misfortunes happened.
Gifted schr and beautifuldy: a pair of ideal lovers
¡°At that time, not only did the state head Ming Bu Zhi have the thoughts to revolt, he also whispered in my grandfather¡¯s ears and told him that there were only few women like my mother. Grandfather liked beauties and was naturally moved. Before the marriage, he used the reason that the rebels were encircling and sent my father away (tobat the rebels). He then kidnapped the Dong Lu princess,,, who hade for a marriage alliance, into the pce...¡±
¡°Ah...,¡± Listening here, Murong Qi Qi screamed. ¡°That old emperor truly had no shame! That was his daughter-inw! That was the crown princess, ah!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi saying this, Feng Cang could onlyugh bitterly. He kissed that cinnabar mole on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead.
¡°My father couldn¡¯t ept the fact that his wife had changed into his consort mother. With the support of great general Wanyan Zhi, he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate and get his wife back. He didn¡¯t imagine that this was a trap set by others.
¡°Grandfather suddenly died. State head Ming Bu Zhi, the minister of personnel Longze Lan and great general Wanyan Zhi ganged together. Using the reason that my father hadmitted treason, they attacked my father. My father died protecting my mother...¡±
¡°Then, what happened to your mother?¡±
Listening till here, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart was beating very fast. She couldpletely imagine the scene of the crown prince who lived for love, protecting his wife. Those who were hateful, were those people who calcted them. They were truly sinister and careful! Without any sense of shame and they were despicable!
¡°My mother hid among themoners. It was a servant of Feng family who hid her and saved her life. General and my biological father were friends. In the past, general, my father and Wanyan Lie; the three grew up together. Their rtionship was the best. However, the ambition of Wanyan family to usurp the throne had been kept from general and my father...Later when my father was met with cmity, general med himself. After recognizing my mother, he protected her all the way. At that time, my mother was already pregnant with me.¡±
¡°It so happened that I was born only less than an hour after your big brother. Later, when your big brother passed away, the general was in love with princess and came down to the reasoning of keeping me. Plus, the fact that princess was a reasonable person and felt very guilty about her father and brother for usurping the throne. So, she protected me and kept me at her side with the identity of her son.¡±
Although it was only a few sentences, but Murong Qi Qi knew how much danger and hardship was inside this. ¡°Atst, what happened to your mother?¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi ask about Xia Wan Ying, Feng Cang¡¯s thick eyshes blocked the waves in his eyes. ¡°Do you remember the pagoda to drive away evil spirits? The former Qin perished. The imperial treasure disappeared. When the army broke into the Forbidden City, that huge wealth seemed like it had disappeared from the face of earth.¡±
¡°Before grandfather died, the only ones who were with him were my parents. My father died at the hands of a thousand arrows. So, Wanyan Zhi thought that only my mother would know about the whereabouts of the treasure. So, he ordered the arrest of my mother.
¡°Although there was the protection of great general and princess, my mother knew that if the people found her at Feng residence, she would certainly bring trouble to general and princess. Besides, maybe she would also bring cmity to me. So, she took advantage of the night and ran away. In the end, she was caught at the Buddha Temple.¡±
¡°I heard general say, in order to avoid herself being insulted, my mother bit her tongue andmitted suicide. Wanyan Zhi released rumors that my mother was a nine-tailed fox and burned my mother¡¯s body. Because of this, there¡¯s now the pagoda to drive away evil spirits...¡±
A heavy quietness covered the surroundings. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart ached so much that she was unable to breathe. Why, why was it like this? Murong Qi Qi tightly embraced Feng Cang. Just now, she clearly saw the tears at the corners of Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. Sorrow, pain, sadness; nothing was enough to describe Feng Cang¡¯s mood now.
¡°Wangye, sorry...,¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice choked. She ached, ached for such a Feng Cang, ached for what Feng Cang had experienced.
If it wasn¡¯t for the instigation of Ming Bu Zhi; if the emperor of former Qin didn¡¯t get devious thoughts, maybe the former Qin wouldn¡¯t have perished. Maybe, crown prince Long Yu would have ascended the throne and Feng Cang would have be crown prince and would¡¯ve also been a great crown prince...
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang¡¯s head buried in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chest. Although he had been holding back, but the stubborn tears still couldn¡¯t help but fall from his eyes.
Since he got to know his history, he never dared to recall and was afraid to remember. He was afraid that if he¡¯d remembered the experience of his parents, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold back and cry. So, he had been holding back and never showed anyone. Now, he felt Murong Qi Qi¡¯s warmth, listening to her heartbeat and her voice full of affection and love, thest line of defense in Feng Cang¡¯s heart copsed.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang tried very hard to restrain himself and didn¡¯t let himself cry. A real man doesn¡¯t easily cry, merely because they didn¡¯t encounter heartbreaking things.
¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here!¡± Murong Qi Qi gently stroked Feng Cang. Her small face pasted on his hair and felt the trembling from her embrace. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart also trembled.
Why was fate ying with people like this? Why did Feng Cang had such a past? How great would it be if Feng Xie didn¡¯t tell Feng Cang any of this! Knowing that he would be sad, why did he have to tell him the truth and let him bear with all these things?!
Now, Murong Qi Qi finally understood where the mncholy of Feng Cang came from. In the past, she thought that mncholy was because of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Today, she got to know that deep in this man¡¯s heart, sad secrets were hidden. Such a sorrowful past made his eyes get coated in ayer of sadness, which people were unable to ignore.
¡°Wangye, then your fetal poison?¡±
¡°The fetal poison was originally in my mother¡¯s body. I think, it has something to do with Dong Lu. Dong Lu¡¯s empress has always been a female disciple of Peni Ind. My biological maternal grandmother passed away when my mother was young. Later, maternal grandfather married a junior sister of my maternal grandmother and made her empress. After that, my mother¡¯s body became sickly. It was just, she didn¡¯t expect that she would get poisoned...¡±
Complex imperial rtions! Murong Qi Qi had long felt that there was something strange about the poison in Feng Cang¡¯s body. It wasn¡¯t a poison of the maind. She didn¡¯t expect that it truly had something to do with Peni Ind!
It was just, why did people¡¯s heart needed to be so vicious! Why did they need to be so cruel? Why did they need to struggle for power? Why should they want things that originally didn¡¯t belong to them? Is human nature good or evil? Is a human¡¯s heartplicated or simple? Why did they need to create so many tragedies and let Feng Cang bear all these alone?
¡°Wangye!¡± A never before emotion poured into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. She knew now why Feng Cang didn¡¯t announce at the pce hall that they weren¡¯t siblings. Because his identity wasplicated and involved former Qin.
If Bei Zhou¡¯s, Xi Qi¡¯s and Nan Feng¡¯s authorities got to know that there was still a bloodline of former Qin¡¯s imperial family, then what Feng Cang has to face will be the assassinations by three countries! Those people who won the power and divided the world, how could they allow a person with the blood of the former Qin¡¯s imperial family to stay alive?!
Naturally, the less people knew about Feng Cang¡¯s identity, the better it was. If it was exposed, then it would bring him unprecedent assassinations...
¡°Qing Qing, do you know? When princess was pregnant with you, she and general promised me, if it¡¯s a girl, they would let her be my bride.¡±
¡°At that time, you were in princess¡¯s belly. When the fetus moved, she often let me listen to your voice at her belly. While I listened, princess would tell me, this is your little bride, yo! At that moment, I felt so happy, so happy!¡±
¡°Just now, when you took down Water Moon Mirror, my heart almost stopped. Howe you¡¯re so beautiful?!¡± When Feng Cang raised his head once again, the wetness in his eyes disappeared.
¡°At that moment, I thought it was the grace from heaven! I thought you went with general and princess. I didn¡¯t expect you to still be alive in this world and also lived with me and be loved by me! No matter if it was a marriage set by the parents or the feelings of love that grew between us after getting to know each other, in the end, you¡¯re still my Qing Qing and became my bride. Don¡¯t you think our fate is rooted deeply and nothing could cut it off?¡±
¡°Wangye...¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know whatnguage she should use to express her feelings now. She lowered her head and kissed Feng Cang¡¯s forehead for the first time. This was something Feng Cang loved to do the most. It¡¯s said if a man likes to kiss your forehead, it meant that you¡¯re the most treasured person in his heart. Being loved by him for so long, now, let her be the one to love him!
¡°If you call me husband, I¡¯ll be happier.¡±
Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi, pried her lips open and explored her fragrance.
Without the status of siblings to pressure her, the burden in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart waspletely put down. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t reject Feng Cang¡¯s kiss. Like a small bird, she nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Her small hands were on his shoulders and she gently took the initiative to respond to his gentleness.
Two people with the same life experience found a point of resonance in the other¡¯s body.
The two were orphans and their parents died. Besides, their parents had been calcted by others and died tragic deaths at the hands of the wicked. Feng Cang¡¯s franknesspletely shattered the obstacle between them. This pair of lovers kissed like they were drunk, as if they looked forward to this kiss for a century.
Only when Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small face became red and breathless, Feng Cang let go of her.
The misunderstanding had been unlocked. The pressure stone in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart disappeared. So, her mood was good. Her smile also brought a taste of sweetness and happiness.
Suddenly, Murong Qi Qi remembered one thing. She looked serious at him, ¡°Wangye, you didn¡¯t make up a story to lie to me just because you like me, right?! I¡¯m not against love between siblings, but siblings are close rtives. The child born from them wouldn¡¯t be healthy and is prone to deformity!
Seeing the doubts on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Feng Cang chuckled and tickled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose.
¡°Qing Qing, could it be that you don¡¯t know, only the former Qin¡¯s imperial family have purple eyes? The grape violet was the most respected and also meant the purest lineage! Otherwise, why would I use every means to cover up my eyes?!¡±
¡°Three kingdoms divided Qin. Everyone from the former Qin¡¯s imperial family, including babies, have been ughtered. I¡¯m the only one left. If I¡¯m discovered, what I need to face would then be three countries...¡±
After Feng Cang said this, Murong Qi Qi immediately realized Feng Cang¡¯s situation. ¡°Wangye, are the people around you reliable?¡± The people Murong Qi Qi was referring to was those people around Feng Cang and who had seen his purple eyes. If these people were not reliable, then wouldn¡¯t it be trouble?
Feng Cang was very pleased at Murong Qi Qi being so concerned about him. He took Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and kissed the back of her hand, ¡°They¡¯re all my people and won¡¯t betray me. Those who betrayed me have long died.¡±
¡°Then, it¡¯s good,¡± Murong Qi Qi nestled against Feng Cang. Without the taboo of sibling¡¯s love, Murong Qi Qi returned to her former self. ¡°Wangye, then what do you want? Do you want to be emperor? Do you want to restore Qin dynasty?¡±
¡°No,¡± Feng Cang shook his head.
¡°Why? Don¡¯t all men have a special obsession with power?¡± Murong Qi Qi sat up and looked at Feng Cang with surprise.
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m only obsessed with you.¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words had a taste of flirting, making Murong Qi Qi feel shy, ¡°I¡¯m being serious! Could it be that you never thought of getting revenge for your parents? Getting back what belonged to you?¡±
¡°Hehe...,¡± hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, Feng Cangughed. His eyes had ten thousand emotions, ¡°If the country is at chaos, those who would suffer are themoners. It¡¯s been twenty-five years already since the four countries split the world and coexisted peacefully. If I break this, then I would need to face unprecedented pressure.¡±
¡°Besides, being an emperor may not be the best. Sitting in that position, you would lose your heart and human nature because of power. I don¡¯t want lose myself one day and be that cold and selfish person. Since I don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t step into this circle of problems. The more you want, the more you would lose. I don¡¯t want to lose what I already have, such as you!¡±
¡°But, if Qing Qing want to be the most noble woman in this world, for you, I¡¯m willing!¡±
¡°No! I don¡¯t want!¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head and leaned on Feng Cang¡¯s chest, ¡°Just now, I was worried, worried that wangye would have thoughts to revive the dynasty; worried that wangye was obsessed with power and desired riches. Now, I apologize to you. I was wrong. I don¡¯t want the nobleness you said. I only want to be with the person I love and spend the rest of our life in peace. Grow old together and never separate!¡±
Chapter 122 His secret (2)
Chapter 122 His secret (2)
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang was happy from the bottom of his heart. The woman he selected was indeed different.
He saw too many women who were more obsessed than men, with the thrill power brought them. And also to get to that ce, they would do anything; harming others and harming themselves. From being simple-minded, they would turn intoplex people. From being good-hearted, they would be vicious. He was worried that Murong Qi Qi liked power. He didn¡¯t expect, like Murong Qi Qi, he also thought too much. His woman should of course be a match with him!
¡°Now talking about it, it also wouldn¡¯t be good if we don¡¯t have anything and are likemoners, don¡¯t you think so, wangye?!¡±1 Murong Qi Qi smiled and her bright eyes shed slyness. ¡°Besides, Wanyan Lie is our enemy. Even if we want to put it down, someone may not be willing.¡±
¡°You mean?¡±
¡°Since Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue are my parents and their death had something to do with Wanyan Lie; no matter what, I must get revenge for them! Besides, the two of them have the grace for saving your life and also the grace for bringing you up. There is a saying that said, the grace of bringing someone up is greater than the grace of giving birth. On the ount of these, we can¡¯t let Wanyan Lie off!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words once again coincided with Feng Cang¡¯s thoughts. Feng Cang looked, full of disbelief, at this little woman in front of him. She truly was a gift from the gods to him. She could even guess his mind.
No matter what his identity is, no matter what happened to Long Yu and Xia Wan Ying; in his memories, those people and things were a nk paper. He could only imagine the stories from what Feng Xie told him. However, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue were true existences in his life. They gave him unlimited care and infinite warmth. They reced Long Yu and Xia Wan Ying, gave him the love of a father and mother and let him feel the warmth of a family.
So, he could let go of restoring the country and let go of revenge, but he couldn¡¯t put down Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s vengeance. Those people who let him lose the warmth of a family he¡¯d gotten with difficulty and who let the woman he loves lose her parents, he wouldn¡¯t let go of even one!
¡°Qing Qing, how could I not love you?!¡± Before, he¡¯d already loved this woman very much. Now, after getting to know that she¡¯s Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, he is willing to love her deep to his bones. He is willing to use his whole life to love her!
Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue were also his parents. They gave him too much, too many things. During helpless times, they were separated like yin and yang. He couldn¡¯t repay the love they gave him. He could only double the repayment on their only daughter Murong Qi Qi. He wanted to let her be the happiest person in this world! To never need to worry about anything!
Within a day, Bei Zhou¡¯s Yan capital experienced two turbulences.
The first one was that Murong Qi Qi survived the wedding night, making more than half of the capital lose money.
When those people were forced to count money to give to the gambling dens and were weeping sorrowfully to the heavens, another explosive news exploded all their grief away...Murong Qi Qi is actually great general Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter and is Feng Cang¡¯s little sister!
When this news swept the capital, everyone was stunned. If Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity is Feng n¡¯s daughter, thenst night, wouldn¡¯t she and Feng Cang be...oh god, a total mess!
When everyone¡¯s imagination was running wild and even fantasizing about how hot the scene between a pair of sibling was, someone released news.
It turned out, that year at Yandang mountain, Li Qiu Shui kidnapped princess Ming Yue¡¯s daughter i.e. Murong Qi Qi. She raised her at the prime minister¡¯s as her own daughter. Her purpose was to take revenge on Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie.
And before the marriage, the wise Murong Qi Qi learned about Li Qiu Shui¡¯s n. She, along with her big brother, staged a fake y to lure Li Qiu Shui. In the end, the truth was revealed. In fact, nothing happened between themst night!
With this ¡®truthful¡¯ news released from the pce, themoners came to a conclusion. So, it turned out that they¡¯re siblings. No wonder there was no curse. It turned out that they didn¡¯t consummate the marriage. So, once again, the people began to mourn for the money they lost. Tears flooded the whole capital.
The only one who benefitted from this bet was Guanghua gongzi.2 Although, the other mysterious person¡¯s ten million had also multiplied ten times, but Guanghua gongzi had bet with one hundred thousand golden teals, ah!
I think the other person bet with silver, while GH bet with gold.
One hundred thousand golden teals multiplied ten times is one million golden teals! Thinking of one million golden teals, those bosses behind the gambling dens were anxious like ants on a wok pan. What should they do, what should they do? Even if you kill them and sell their meat, they wouldn¡¯t be able to raise one million golden teals, ah!
In any case, since it¡¯s a gamble, there would be winning and losing. The bosses of the whole street of gambling dens sacrificed everything and scraped five hundred thousand golden teals together.
Still five hundred thousand golden teals short. Guanghua gongzi sent people to sign an agreement with them. This bet transformed Guanghua gongzi into a part owner of the whole street. Every gambling den needed to hand over thirty percent of their profits to Guanghua gongzi till they paid off the remaining five hundred thousand golden teals. And also the interest during this repayment period was very scary.
However, whatever the oue, they still kept their gambling dens and didn¡¯t need to live on the streets. Although those bosses of the gambling den felt that Guanghua gongzi went overboard, but in their heart, they still felt grateful. At least, he didn¡¯t let them close their doors and didn¡¯t break their way of ie.
¡°Miss, Wu Qing has already put away the golden teals safely. One part was shipped to the world¡¯s first ce of business. Another part was stored as funds.¡± After Su Mei got these done, she reported everything to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Alright! Not bad! First, don¡¯t force them too much. Wait till the right time to swallow them all.¡±
Murong Qi Qi had recovered from the matter of being siblings. Her mood was very good. After Feng Cang confessed his background to her, he¡¯d hurriedly left. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, but Murong Qi Qi knew he went to quell those rumors.
After all, yesterday she was still a wangfei.3 Today, she¡¯d be princess Zhen Guo, making people feel incredible. If someone with a hidden motive spread some rumors first, then gossip would be a fearful thing. Feng Cang, as Nan Lin wang, must have his own means to make propaganda. Murong Qi Qi was very assured at letting him go put down the fire.
¡°Miss, are you really Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter? Then, then are guye4 and you not...¡± Seeing the tranquility on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Su Mei could no longer remain calm.
Ever since Wanyan Lie¡¯s edict had arrived at the wangfu,5 this matter almost made Su Mei faint. In the end, she was able to retain her calmness and deal with the matter of the bet. However, confusion pressed in Su Mei¡¯s heart, making her unable to hold it in any longer.
¡°Are we what?¡± Murong Qi Qi put down the things in her hand and looked calmly at Su Mei. The concern for her from this girl, who¡¯d followed her for six years, was real. Her worry was also real. Su Mei and Su Yue were people she trusted. It was just, Feng Cang¡¯s identity was too special. Now, she had to keep it from them.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi so calm, Su Mei was even more sure that Murong Qi Qi had received a big blow. Following Murong Qi Qi for so long, Su Mei knew that the more Murong Qi Qi¡¯s emotions fluctuated, the more calmer she would be on the surface. She must be so sad. That was why on the outside, she looked so serene.
¡°Miss, cry out if you¡¯re sad! There¡¯s me, there¡¯s Su Yue. We will stay by your side. Don¡¯t hold it in your heart and let yourself be sad alone!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s heart ached for such Murong Qi Qi. Although Du Xian Er¡¯s name was very famous, but Su Mei knew Murong Qi Qi was just a simple person. Sometimes, she¡¯s even very childish.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship with Feng Cang was so good. This matter must be a big blow to her! If Murong Qi Qi cried and made a fuss ormitted murder and arson, Su Mei would¡¯ve felt that that was normal. However, now she didn¡¯t do anything and was so silent. It was as if nothing had happened. This really was not normal and made people feel surprised.
¡°Su Mei, I¡¯m fine...¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to finish, Su Mei pulled Murong Qi Qi into her embrace, ¡°Miss, although you¡¯re the miss, but I always saw you as my little sister! Encountering such a thing, miss must feel very sad and feel very painful! Miss, don¡¯t pretend to be strong. Cry out! Pretend that I¡¯m your big sister and cry in my arms!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know whether she shouldugh or cry at Su Mei being like this. This silly girl, ah! Hearing in Su Mei¡¯s voice that she was about to cry from anxiousness, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but let go of Su Mei, ¡°Su Mei, it¡¯s not like what you think. I¡¯m indeed Feng Xie¡¯s biological daughter. This is true. However, it¡¯s also true that I like wangye and wouldn¡¯t give up because of this!¡±
¡°Well said!¡± A voice came in. Wanyan Kang stood at the door. The moment, he saw Murong Qi Qi, he shouted.
¡°Ah, ah, ah! Are you cousin-inw? Are you really cousin-inw? Are you certainly definitely my cousin-inw? Why is your appearancepletely changed? Could it be that in the past, you wore a human skin mask? Cousin-inw, this little brother had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, ah! I actually called you an ugly thing. My eyes must¡¯ve been blocked by gums.¡±
Had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai: fail to recognize someone important or someone with great talent.
¡°Why did youe here for?¡± Miss was already so sad, Wanyan Kang still came to make fun. This made Su Mei¡¯s mood take a turn for the worse, ¡°Did youe to watch a bustling scene?¡±
¡°No, I really didn¡¯t...¡±
Su Mei¡¯s unstable mood made Wanyan Kang unable to make heads or tails out of it. ¡°I only heard the matter of cousin-inw and specifically came here to support cousin-inw. Although, I know that now, I should call you little cousin sister, but I feel that cousin-inw is more to my taste...¡±
¡°Cousin-inw, no matter who you are, what your identity is, I will support you and cousin brother!¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t finish speaking, when his head suffered a chestnut from Su Mei, ¡°Aiyaya, small pepper, what are you doing?! It really hurts, do you know?!¡±
¡°Who let you talk nonsense, ah! Miss is wangye¡¯s little sister. Siblings being together, do you want my miss to be scolded by everyone?! What kind of brains do you have? How could you let our miss do such a thing?!¡± The originally locked emotions in Su Mei were now released.
¡°What does it matter?! As long as they truly love each other, why the need to bother with other people¡¯s views?! Could it be that love shouldn¡¯t break through all obstacles? If everything you do, you need to take other people¡¯s views into consideration, then what meaning does living have?!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s words illuminated Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart like amp. That¡¯s right, ah! Thinking about it now, those hesitations, indecisiveness and concerns were all a disy of not being confident. She, a person who¡¯d time-travelled, couldn¡¯t evenpare to Wanyan Kang.
¡°Ah Kang, thank you!¡± Murong Qi Qi sincerely thanked Wanyan Kang for knocking her awake. It would be wrong if she continued to be embarrassed! Why was it that the moment she encounters situations rted to Feng Cang, she would lose her usual pride and personality?! Even if Feng Cang was her biological big brother, since she already fell in love, then she would even love in death! Not to mention that Feng Cang and her didn¡¯t have any blood rtions. They should love each other even more without any scruples!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gratitude stupefied Wanyan Kang. Then, he revealed a hearty smile, ¡°What¡¯s to thank?! No need to thank a big grace! But, when we¡¯re outside, I still need to call you little cousin sister to avoid those censors catching mynguage and then pray (nag) about me in front of emperor father. I can¡¯t stand those censors! It¡¯s just, suddenly getting a delicate as flower and refined as precious jade little cousin sister, I really can¡¯t get used to it!¡±
Delicate as flower and refined as precious jade: exquisite
Wanyan Kang¡¯s arrival made the whole atmosphere be lighter. Looking at Wanyan Kang who was flirting and bickering with Su Mei, Murong Qi Qi thought about Wanyan Lie. If one day, she and Feng Cang stood opposite of Wanyan Lie, then would it be very difficult on Wanyan Kang as their friend?
¡°Toda,y youe to look for our miss, it couldn¡¯t be so simple as to see our miss, right?!¡± Su Mei saw that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mood was a lot better, and she also became happier. All this was because of those few words from Wanyan Kang. Although, those words didn¡¯t have any reasoning, but it¡¯s alright since miss liked them and miss was happy.
¡°Oh, right. If you didn¡¯t say it, I would¡¯ve forgotten the main reason. Cousin-inw, my consort mother wants to invite you for tea at Jingxin hall...¡±
While saying this, Wanyan Kang¡¯s expression was a bit awkward. It seemed that he had a trace of disgust towards consort De. Although it was fleeting, but Murong Qi Qi keenly captured this.
¡°For tea?¡± Murong Qi Qi felt that her rtionship with Lin Ke Xin wasn¡¯t that deep. Just when her identity was revealed, Lin Ke Xin had already clung to her. What intention did she have?
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you honestly!¡±
Wanyan Kang admired Murong Qi Qi from the bottom of his heart. Although he calls her cousin-inw, but the admiration inside it was true. Now, his consort mother wanted to calcte Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.
¡°Now, you¡¯re princess Zhen Guo. Your status is even above emperor father¡¯s biological daughter. So, those women in the pce are beginning to have ideas about you.¡±
Thinking about how consort De hurriedly called him into the pce and said those words to him, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help but sneer. Because of the tournament of the four countries this time, Wanyan Kang became very familiar with Murong Qi Qi. So, Lin Ke Xin found Wanyan Kang to let hime forward and invite Murong Qi Qi. Like that, Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t refuse.
¡°What?! Have ideas about our miss? Then, is miss in danger?¡± The moment Su Mei heard that, she stood up and wished she could rush into the pce and kill all those women with bad intentions.
Wanyan Kang smiled at how Su Mei didn¡¯t understood the true meaning of his words.
This girl was innocent and also simpleminded. Perhaps, it was because of this hot temper and innocence that attracted him! He felt tired and disgusted at those fighting and calctive women in the pce. Only when he was next to Su Mei did Wanyan Kang feel physically and mentally rxed. A girl without any schemes and who was clean was very good!
Seeing that Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t exin and only giggled foolishly at her, Su Mei got angry. A chestnut fell on Wanyan Kang¡¯s forehead, ¡°Quickly talk, ah! who wanted to calcte our miss, ah? Is it your consort mother? Say, on which side do you stand?¡±
Su Mei¡¯s chestnut made Wanyan Kang grimace in pain. He clutched his head and pretended to scream, ¡°Aiyaya, so painful! Aiyaya, murdering husband, ah!¡±
¡°Murder, your head, ah!¡± Although she was saying that, Su Mei still couldn¡¯t help but go over to look, ¡°Is it really painful? Let me look!¡±
¡°Look...¡± Wanyan Kang pouted full of grievances and showed the small bump on his forehead.
Seeing that Wanyan Kang was injured by her, Su Mei felt vexed. She forgot that she had great strength and didn¡¯t take that into consideration. Thinking that Wanyan Kang was a soft skinned and tender fleshed prince, where would he have ever suffered such a knock?!
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡± Su Mei immediately took out medicine for Wanyan Kang. ¡°Quickly tell me! What¡¯s going on?! You only said half the matter, truly making people anxious!¡±
Wanyan Kang knew that the rtionship between Murong Qi Qi and Su Mei was deep. Seeing Su Mei being so anxious about the matter of Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang simply exined.
¡°Through generations, only the most favored princess from the imperial family was qualified to be princess Zhen Guo. Princess Zhen Guo could enjoy the right to participate in politics and had military power. It¡¯s a supreme glory and also the symbol of power.
¡°Emperor father bestowed cousin-inw with the title of princess Zhen Guo. Presumably, in his heart, he loves cousin-inw very much. In the future, don¡¯t know what kind of rewards he would give cousin-inw. Now, the empress and consort mother are having ideas about cousin-inw. With such a noble and powerful daughter-inw, their son¡¯s status would be consolidated!¡±
It wasn¡¯t very easy for Wanyan Kang to exin everything so clearly. On one side was Murong Qi Qi, the other side was his birth mother. That he could point out the ideas of those women in the pce and tell her, Murong Qi Qi knew that Wanyan Kang truly was helping her.
¡°Thank you, ah Kang!¡±
¡°Haha, you¡¯re wee!¡± Wanyan Kang gestured with his hand, but the next moment, his expression turned serious. ¡°In fact, it was I who should apologize. My consort mother truly went overboard. It was just, she¡¯s my consort mother; I could do nothing to her.¡±
¡°Cousin-inw, I know your personality is that you would take revenge on what needed to be avenged. Today, I told you these so frankly, I also had my selfishness. I want to ask you for a request. If in the future, my consort mother does something wrong against you, please give me some face and leave her a way out. Take it as me begging you!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s honesty make Murong Qi Qi think back about the test on the sixth floor of the pagoda. Wanyan Kang held the mirror and all the words he cried out were mother consort. It seemed that Wanyan Kang put a lot of weight on this mother. It was just, Lin Ke Xin had been immersed in power and ignored the love between mother and son...
Speaking of it, Wanyan Kang¡¯s yfulness were all a pretense. This prince looked bright, but he was only someone who wished for motherly love.
¡°Good!¡± Murong Qi Qi answering so straightforwardly made Wanyan Kang let out a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Ke Xin doesn¡¯t go overboard, Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t take action against her. He wished his consort mother would behave and not calcte too much!
¡°In fact, my consort mother wants to match you with my second big brother. However, you have cousin brother. Of course, your heart wouldn¡¯t fancy another. In fact, my second big brother is deep-minded. Cousin-inw must be careful!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was very grateful at Wanyan Kang¡¯s repeated reminders. This prince really is the weirdo of Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family. Growing up in the imperial family, but he was still able to retain his personality and integrity. Wanyan Kang truly was someone not bad!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi looked at Su Mei. These two really matched each other. If they could be together, it would be a great story!
¡°Princess, the imperial¡¯s edict arrived!¡± At this moment, Feng Qi stepped with respectful step to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Please move to the front hall!¡±
¡°Uncle Feng, I couldn¡¯t bear you being so polite. Treat me like you usually does! Letting an elder like you be like this, would let my life be shortened!¡± Murong Qi Qi could feel the respect of Feng Qi towards her. That was a respect of an elder from family towards a master of Feng family.
Chapter 123 Attend a banquet (1)
Chapter 123 Attend a banquet (1)
¡°Princess, this is what this ve should do!¡±
Every move of Feng Qi conformed to his identity. When he found out that Murong Qi Qi was great general and princess¡¯s daughter, Feng Qi was the most excited one out of everyone.
As one of the few people who knew Feng Cang¡¯s true identity, Feng n¡¯s only blood Murong Qi Qi being found; to this Feng n¡¯s elder, this was the happiest and also most exciting thing.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s emergence meant that the originally cut off Feng n¡¯s bloodline could continue. Feng family has a descendant! How could this not let a person, who was born in Feng family, grow up in Feng family and was loyal to Feng family generation after generation, not be happy?!
¡°Uncle Feng...¡± Murong Qi Qi knew the hearts of these people and also didn¡¯t reject them anymore. Under Feng Qi¡¯s escort, she arrived at the front hall.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s Jing De was respectfully waiting there. Seeing Murong Qi Qie out and looking at her stunning face, Jing De almost lost his soul. After just a moment, Jing De became aware of his disrespect. He quickly lowered his head and held out the imperial edict.
¡°Emperor said, this is princess¡¯s. You don¡¯t need to bow and this ve also doesn¡¯t need to read it out. Princess can open it directly.¡±
Murong Qi Qi opened the imperial edict. On it was nothing more than rewards and also the recovery of her surname. Wanyan Lie seemed to respect Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts very much. He personally asked in the imperial edict for her opinion; asking her what name she wanted to be called by.
¡°Since mother struggled to give birth to me on the seventh of the seventh month, I will still be called Qi Qi!¡± Feng Qi Qi, this name is not bad! Murong Qi Qi was thinking in her heart.
¡°Yes...¡± Jing De quickly wrote it down.
Looking once more, Wanyan Lie bestowed her the Long Autumn pce. Murong Qi Qi softly read it,¡± Long Autumn pce? Didn¡¯t consort Yue live there? I won¡¯t live there!¡±
Wanyan Kang, who was at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, when he heard emperor father rewarded Long Autumn pce to Murong Qi Qi, his heart skipped a beat. Through generations, Long Autumn pce had been the residence of the empress. It¡¯s the ce which received the most imperial grace in the harem. What did emperor father mean by doing this? Could it be that emperor father wanted to hold Murong Qi Qi in a high light...
¡°Princess, consort Yue is already gone. The emperor let people clean up Long Autumn pce as the residence of princess...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t want!¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head. ¡°I want to live at Nan Lin wangfu!1 I won¡¯t live elsewhere!¡±
Sure enough, it was like how emperor guessed it; Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to live in the pce and wanted to stay at Nan Lin wangfu. However, the emperor¡¯s meaning is...Jing De swallowed, ¡°Princess, emperor¡¯s meaning is that you can asionally stay at the pce for a while and can then rest at Long Autumn pce. Long Autumn pce is honorable and glorious. It¡¯s the most beautiful wing in the pce and is most suitable for princess!¡±
¡°Staying for a while in the pce, I can stay at grandmother¡¯s. Go back and tell emperor uncle, I don¡¯t want Long Autumn pce! A ce where people had died, bad luck!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words scared Jing De; he almost bit his tongue. Which woman doesn¡¯t want to live in Long Autumn pce and be the mistress of Long Autumn pce? It so happened that this princess used a ¡®go back¡¯ to make him leave.
When Jing De returned to the pce, inside the imperial study, he repeated Murong Qi Qi¡¯s exact words back to Wanyan Lie. Also, his heart was disturbed. He was worried that Wanyan Lie would flip out. He didn¡¯t expect that after he waited for a long time, he would hear Wanyan Lie¡¯sughter, ¡°Hahahaha! Indeed Ming Yue¡¯s daughter! Indeed zhen¡¯s2 niece! Great! Great!¡±
After following Wanyan Lie for so long, Jing De could distinguish when his master was happy and when his master was angry. Hearing hisughter, Wanyan Lie must really like that princess Zhen Guo. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s days of wealth is yet toe!
¡°Emperor, then this Long Autumn pce...¡±
¡°Keep it! Let people clean both the inside and the outside. Send a group of new people to take care of it. They need to be well-behaved and obedient! Zhen is the son of heaven, I opened my golden mouth and spoke jade words. Long Autumn pce is Murong Qi Qi¡¯s home of her mother¡¯s side. She cane anytime she wants!¡±
¡°Yes...¡± Don¡¯t know why, but from Wanyan Lie¡¯s voice, Jing De heard a never before pampering. It was just, it was the thought of the emperor, he didn¡¯t dare to guess it. It would be good if he only did his job.
Wanyan Lie rewarding Murong Qi Qi with Long Autumn pce, was immediately like a bomb, causing a greatmotion among the women of the harem.
¡°What?! His majesty gave Long Autumn pce to Murong Qi Qi?¡± When Lin Ke Xin heard this news, she was stunned. Originally, she thought that since Yue Lan Zhi died, this Long Autumn pce would fall into her hands. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Lie would change hands and give it to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Niangniang,3 princess Zhen Guo has already restored her original surname. Now, she¡¯s Feng Qi Qi!¡± Wet nurse Yu stood next to Lin Ke Xin. She quickly massaged her (LKX) back to let her calm down.
¡®Bang...¡¯ Lin Ke Xin threw the teacup on the ground, ¡°Bengong4 doesn¡¯t care who or what she is. Wet nurse, what kind of ce is Long Autumn pce? That¡¯s the ce where the empress lives since the beginning of the history, ah! Tell me, what does the emperor mean by this?¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s anger was in the expectation of wet nurse Yu. She quickly said, ¡°This ve doesn¡¯t dare guess the emperor¡¯s meaning.¡± However, in her heart she was thinking, since you know this is the ce where only the empress can live, why should you be concerned about it?!
¡°Humph!¡± Lin Ke Xin gritted her teeth. The handkerchief in her hand had already been twisted into a rope. ¡°Wet nurse, tell me, is the emperor telling everyone that the next emperor¡¯s empress is Feng Qi Qi and that there¡¯s no need to doubt it? In other words, the one who gets Feng Qi Qi is the next emperor?¡±
Hearing Lin Ke Xin say that, wet nurse Yu thought for a while and then nodded, ¡°Niangniang, you¡¯re right! Perhaps, this truly is the emperor¡¯s meaning! It¡¯s niangniang who¡¯s thoughtful and could understand the emperor¡¯s meaning!¡±
Wet nurse Yu¡¯s bootlicking let Lin Ke Xin¡¯s mood got a bit better, ¡°Send someone to ask fifth prince if princess epted the invitation. Then, let someone invite second prince into the pce!¡±
In Jingxin Hall, Lin Ke Xin was calcting how to let Wanyan Yi get Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Inside Jingde pce, Li Bing also threw over the table.
¡°Long Autumn pce? Is that a ce where a little girl can afford to live in?! Why doesn¡¯t she ponder her own weight?!¡±
¡°Niangniang, it¡¯s said, princess Zhen Guo rejected. Princess said, people died at that ce and it¡¯s unlucky. She won¡¯t live there!¡± Li Bing¡¯s maid Chun Tao reported every news she inquired to Li Bing.
¡°The emperor didn¡¯t get angry?¡± After Li Bing heard this, she quickly asked what happened after.
¡°No!¡± Chun Tao shook her head, ¡°After hearing it, emperor was very happy. He also said that princess is very like princess Ming Yue. Then, he also insisted on leaving Long Autumn pce for her. He said that in the future, Long Autumn pce is princess Zhen Guo¡¯s maternal home!¡±
¡°Maternal home, maternal home...,¡± Li Bing muttered these two words. Suddenly, Li Bing¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Bengong understands!¡±
Seeing that her master had a face full of excitement, Chun Tao was puzzled, ¡°Niangniang, what did you understand?¡±
¡°The emperor wants to cement old ties by marriage. He wants to let princess Zhen Guo be his daughter-inw...¡±
The more Li Bing thought about it, the more feasible was it. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s already at a marriageable age. Naturally, she should get married. Wanyan Lie pampers Murong Qi Qi so much; he certainly wishes for his son marry her. Then, who is the most suitable candidate?
¡°Long Autumn pce, Long Autumn pce...¡±
Li Bing muttered twice. Suddenly, she realized, ¡°Long Autumn pce is the symbol of the main pce of the harem. Feng Qi Qi entered the main pce of the harem, then this means, her husband is the new emperor! It must be like this! In the past, emperor loved princess Ming Yue very much. Now, he also loves the house and its crow. Naturally, he loves Feng Qi Qi.¡±
Love the house and its crow: love everyone/everything connected to the one you love. Love me, love my dog
¡°In the past, didn¡¯t he always say that he wished to have a daughter like princess Ming Yue and would give her the best things in the world? Now, princes Zhen Guo is found. The emperor would certainly pamper her to the extreme. For a woman, in this world, the noblest ce is the position of the empress. That must be it! That must be it!¡±
Chun Tao looked at the empress¡¯s spirited looks. She (CT) probably guessed the meaning behind it. ¡°Niangniang, Jingxin hall over there entrusted fifth prince to invite princess Zhen Gu for tea!¡±
¡°Tea?¡± Hearing Lin Ke Xin¡¯s doings, Li Bing sneered, ¡°Feng Qi Qi got the emperor¡¯s favor. She would be extremely honorable, why would she care for a cup of tea?!
Li Bing called Chun Tao to her side. She whispered a few words in her ears. Chun Tao nodded and left Jingde pce immediately.
Inside Jinxuan pce, after Dongfang Lan heard Wanyan Lie¡¯s decision, she said ¡®muddleheaded¡¯ two times. She could understand Wanyan Lie¡¯s love for Murong Qi Qi, but like this, is it not letting Murong Qi Qi be a delicious cake everyone wanted to covet?
¡°Could the emperor not know that him doing this will deepen the contradiction between the princes?! Besides, aijia5 doesn¡¯t want her to enter the imperial family. Aijia only want her to be happy...¡±
Hearing Dongfang Lan talk till here, Qing Gu sent the other pce maids away. She came to Dongfang Lan¡¯s side, ¡°Miss, there is something this ve doesn¡¯t know if this ve should say it or not.¡±
Qing Gu being like this, Dongfang Lan guessed that is must be something important. She immediately nodded, ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Qing Gu gestured with her hand and led a quick-witted little pce maid to Dongfang Lan. When the little pce saw Dongfang Lan, she immediately kowtowed, ¡°Empress dowager, our niangniang is innocent! Our niangniang didn¡¯t attack the emperor!¡±
¡°She is...¡± Seeing this unfamiliar pce maid in front of her eyes, Dongfang Lan was somewhat puzzled. Who is this pce maid? Why did she cry out grievances the moment she came?
¡°Miss, she¡¯s pce maid Chun Xing from Long Autumn pce¡¯s...who served noble consort Yue.¡±
It turned out that yesterday, when Qing Gu went to visit the injured Wanyan Lie, she saw a girl who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue. Although the girl was killed by Jing De, but this let a suspicion grew in Qing Gu¡¯s heart.
Sure enough, in the morning, when Wanyan Lie woke up, he ordered the death of all people of Long Autumn pce. Qing Gu saw that the situation was far from good. In the end, she yed a small trick and saved Chun Xing. Now, she brought her to Dongfang Lan.
Chun Xing¡¯s eyes were red like apricots. Her voice was choked and her eyes were full of fright. Seeing the pitiful state of the little pce maid, Dongfang Lan let her stand up to answer her questions. However, Chun Xing refused to get up and only shouted innocence for Yue Lan Zhi.
¡°Our niangniang was good-tempered. Usually, she was never willing to punish a servant. Even if this ve does something wrong, niangniang was still pleasant and wouldn¡¯t even say some harsh words.¡±
¡°However, now, suddenly there isn¡¯t even a shadow of niangniang. Outside, everyone is searching to catch niangniang and said that she attacked the emperor, but this ve doesn¡¯t believe it! Empress dowager, this ve is willing to use this ve¡¯s life to guarantee that imperial noble consort is certainly not such a person! Every time, when she saw the emperor, she was like a mouse seeing a cat; how would she have the guts to attack the emperor?!¡±
The dead Yue Lan Zhi would never have thought that the little pce maid, who only followed her not long ago would want to get justice for her in front of Dongfang Lan.
After listening to Chun Xing, Dongfang Lan frowned. She had never seen Yue Lan Zhi. She only knew that recently she was the most favored consort in the pce.
Since Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie died, Dongfang Lan put her heart in Buddha teachings and didn¡¯t bother with the matters of the harem.
Dongfang Lan also heard some things of the harem. It was nothing more than that Wanyan Lie would favor a new girl after some time and let the harem overflow with vinegar. But, she couldn¡¯t control these things and her heart didn¡¯t have someone she wanted to care about.
Those matters of those women of the harem had nothing to do with her, an elder woman. So, no matter who Wanyan Lie favored, pampered or loved, Dongfang Lan was indifferent. Even if those consorts fiddle in front of her, she wouldn¡¯t intervene. Over time, those consorts didn¡¯te to her for justice anymore and her ears got a lot quieter.
Not to mention Yue Lan Zhi, even those other women Wanyan Lie pampered at Long Autumn pce, Dongfang Lan had seen none of them.
Most of the time, she¡¯s at the temple. When she returns, she also likes it quiet. Moreover, Wanyan Lie seemed to particrly favor sickly beauties. All the mistresses of Long Autumn pce had been too weak to even stand up the wind. On hot days, they even wore a veil whening out. So delicate, making Dongfang Lan dislike them even more. So, she was simply toozy to summon those consorts lest those consorts have a weak body and became sick, making their feelings of mother and son separate.
Now, hearing Chun Xing seek justice for Yue Lan Zhi and her demeanor didn¡¯t seem to be lying, Dongfang Lan nodded. She motioned for her to go on.
Chun Xing choked and told Dongfang Lan one by one how afraid usually Yue Lan Zhi was of Wanyan Lie, how he humiliated her, how she had miscarriage and how every time Wanyan Lie would torture Yue Lan Zhi.
When she heard Chun Xing say that Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s miscarriage was caused by Wanyan Lie¡¯s forced intercourse and besides, after the miscarriage, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t bother with Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s physical difort and still had intercourse, Dongfang Lan was stunned. It was as if it was not the Wanyan Lie she knew. ¡°How could the emperor do such a thing? How could this be?¡±
¡°Answering empress dowager, ever word this ve said is the truth! The old imperial physician who had been treating niangniang can testify!¡± Seeing Dongfang Lan doubting her words, Chun Xing got anxious and immediately kowtowed hard on the ground.
¡°Empress dowager, imperial noble consort is really innocent! That day, after the emperor entered Long Autumn pce, this ve was worried that niangniang would call this ve, so I waited outside. However, imperial noble consort didn¡¯te out again. Such a weak person like niangniang and also because the miscarriage her body was weak, how could she leave the pce on her own?! Even more, she couldn¡¯t have attacked the emperor. Asking empress dowager to inspect this matter!¡±
Chun Xing wholeheartedly wanted to seek justice for her master. Her head knocked heavily on the ground. It didn¡¯t take long for her forehead to swollen. The skin broke. Blood streamed along Chun Xing¡¯s nose. Drop by drop, it fell on the ground.
¡°Qing Gu!¡± Dongfang Lan gestured at Qing Gu. Qing Gu quickly pulled Chun Xing. She wanted to pull her up, but she didn¡¯t expect Chun Xing to be a stubborn girl. ¡°If empress dowager doesn¡¯t ept Chun Xing¡¯s request, Chun Xing won¡¯t stand up!¡±
¡°Are you rebelling now?!¡± Dongfang Lan¡¯s palm mmed on the table, ¡°Do you want to threaten aijia? Aijia hates being threatened the most! Servants, drag this insensible pce maid out and beat her to death!¡±
¡°Empress dowager, imperial noble consort is really innocent! Asking empress dowager to please investigate! Empress dowager, why don¡¯t you think why in ten years, Long Autumn pce changed nine imperial noble consorts? Where did those women went to? Empress dowager, human life is beyond value, ah!¡±
Chun Xing¡¯s plead didn¡¯t get Dongfang Lan¡¯s mercy. Although Qing Gu wanted to help Chun Xing, but the empress dowager issued an order; Qing Gu could only let people drag Chun Xing out. After a while, someone came to report that Chun Xing had been beaten to death.
¡°Bury her!¡± Dongfang Lan turned the Buddha beads in her hands. Her head was lowered for a long time. Qing Gu returned and nodded at Dongfang Lan. Only then, was she relieved.
¡°Is that child still well? Were you able to keep it a secret from everyone?¡±
¡°It¡¯s only wound of the surface. After taking care of it for a while, she would get well. How did empress dowager know that our Jinxuan pce have the emperor¡¯s people?¡±
¡°Hehe, under the whole heaven, every spot is the emperor¡¯s ground; to the borders ofnd, every individual is the emperor¡¯s minister. Everywhere is the emperor¡¯s, not to mention this pce!¡± Dongfang Lan¡¯s hand paused at rolling the beads. ¡°Qing Gu, you go and personally take care of Chun Xing. Don¡¯t let anyone find her. After this thing passed, aijia will personally ask her about Long Autumn pce¡¯s matter!¡±
Inside the imperial study, Jing De whispered a few words in Wanyan Lie¡¯s ears. Wanyan Lie put down the brush in his hand, ¡°Oh? Empress dowager personally killed Chun Xing? Didn¡¯t see it wrongly? Are you sure she died?¡±
¡°Answering emperor, she has already died and stopped breathing.¡±
¡°Then, it¡¯s good! Haha, didn¡¯t expect this girl to have a strong temper and actually reported at the empress dowager¡¯s....¡±
¡°Emperor, although empress dowager isn¡¯t your birth mother, but she treats you not badly! Besides, she never asks about the matters of the pce.¡± After hearing Jing De¡¯s words, Wanyan Lieughed, ¡°That¡¯s right. Empress mother is indeed not bad.¡±
Chun Xing¡¯s matter, along with Wanyan Lie¡¯s words, had been forgotten by everyone. No one would remember that once in Long Autumn pce, there was such a pce maid. Also, no one would reprimand the empress dowager for sentencing a pce maid to death...
After Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was known, unexpectedly, there were no rumors and there was also no news against her. The public opinion was more against Li Qiu Shui. For a time, the battle of fifteen years ago at Yandang mountain was once again stirred. More people began to explore the deep reason behind Feng Xie¡¯s defeat. Of course, these were effectively initiated by the hidden initiator...Feng Cang.
Inside Tingsong building, Murong Qi Qi leanedzily against Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She looked for afortable position andid down like azy cat.
Although before, she¡¯d experienced those painful tangling, but after getting to know Feng Cang¡¯s true identity, Murong Qi Qi had the feeling of having pushed away all clouds and now able to see the moon. Her mood became cheerful. Plus, she won a bowl full of gold and silver from the gambling dens, of course her mood was good. She had been mumbling songs.
Compared to Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang had been worried about one thing. That is the reason behind Wanyan Lie giving Murong Qi Qi Long Autumn pce. Especially the way Longze Jing Tian and Wanyan Hong looked at Murong Qi Qi in the hall, such possessiveness made him unhappy. He wished he could dig out those two¡¯s eyes!
¡°Wangye,6 what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that Feng Cang hadn¡¯t spoken for half a day, Murong Qi Qi raised her head. Her hand pinched Feng Cang¡¯s chin, ¡°What are you thinking about, ah?¡±
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and put it on his lips. He bit her fingers lightly, ¡°I¡¯m worried...¡±
¡°Worried?¡± The moment she heard Feng Cang¡¯s words, her expression turned serious. She sat up and looked at Feng Cang, ¡°What happened?¡±
Chapter 124 Attend a banquet (2)
Chapter 124 Attend a banquet (2)
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tense appearance made Feng Cang¡¯s mood a lot better. He reached out and pushed away the hair on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. His fingers stroked that red cinnabar mole on her forehead. ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful. I¡¯m afraid more and more people woulde and fight with me over you...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s was so subtly eating vinegar, making Murong Qi Qiugh. She was thinking about what it was. It turned out to be this. ¡°Wangye,1 my heart only has you and doesn¡¯t have him!¡±
Speaking till here, Murong Qi Qi left Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She stepped on the ground and picked up a small drum. Her small hand tapped gently on the drum. Her toes danced with the drum¡¯s rhythm. She twisted her shoulders and waist and her fingers hooked Feng Cang.
¡°My heart only has you and doesn¡¯t have him. You have to believe my feelings are true. My eyes are for you to look. My eyebrows are for you to shade. It was never for him. My heart only has you and doesn¡¯t have him. You have to believe my feelings are true. Only you are my dream. Only you are the one I miss. My heart doesn¡¯t have him.¡±
¡°Since that day, I sent you home. That day, I could only hate and scold myself, me myself for not making you stay at that time and dig my heart out in front of you, to let you see clearly, if I have him in my heart.¡±
I changed the lyrics a bit to a more literal meaning
Different from the songs Murong Qi Qi had sung in the past, this song had a particrly strong sense of rhythm. And she followed the beat, twisted her waist and asionally casted a ce of temptation at Feng Cang, making Feng Cang¡¯s heart jump very badly.
This passionate woman, her face was as bright as the moon. Her eyes restored their usual confidence and also contained strong love. The lyricsing from her mouth were passionate and full of vitality. Feng Cang had never heard such a strange tone, but it was a catchy song.
Finally, Murong Qi turned and jumped into Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She looked seriously into his eyes, ¡°Only you are my dream. Only you are the one I miss. My heart doesn¡¯t have him.¡±
This way of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s confession was novel and unique. And the love words from the lyrics expressed her inner feelings. It swept away all those worries of Feng Cang. This little woman, ah. She really made people couldn¡¯t help but love her! Love her and also couldn¡¯t extricate themselves!
¡°My heart also only has you, Qing Qing!¡±
F*** Longze Jing Tian, f*** Wanyan Hong. As long as the person in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart is him, as long as Murong Qi Qi insisted, why should he worry about those things! Naturally, there would be people pursuing a good woman! However, Murong Qi Qi is his woman. Let all those damn flies f*** off! If they don¡¯t f*** off, then ask if his sword would allow or not!
Because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s song <> made these young couple¡¯s hearts got closer. Seeing the woman he missed day and night in front of him blinking her deer like eyes, Feng Cang¡¯s ready to make trouble heart began to get active. If he could, he truly wished he could jump on Murong Qi Qi sooner!
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang swallowed, ¡°If, I mean if...if my identity is Feng Cang and if it always would be Nan Lin wang and you¡¯re Feng Qi Qi, then, how should we continue?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s question also troubled Murong Qi Qi for a long time. Although the confusion between the two of them had been solved, but in the eyes of others, they¡¯re blood rted siblings, ah! If they¡¯re together, then wouldn¡¯t they face the opprobrium from the world?
¡°Wangye...¡± Murong Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms, ¡°Why don¡¯t we wander the horizon after getting revenge for father and mother and be a pair of happy and free birds?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi also thought about this problem. She didn¡¯t want Feng Cang¡¯s identity to be exposed. If by chance, the three countries didn¡¯t want to let go of former Qin¡¯s blood, by then it would be hardship and killings again. It¡¯s better to retreat to the jianghu2 and be an idle pair. How nice would that be?!
What Murong Qi Qi had said matched Feng Cang¡¯s thoughts. Now, Feng Cang truly felt that Murong Qi Qi was a gift sent by the heaven. What he thought about was always being said by Murong Qi Qi. Such a consonance of the heart was really a good feeling.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Looking at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bright like jade face and also that pair of eyes which was able to hook people, Feng Cang felt a burst of distress. He hesitated for a long time before saying, ¡°Can I sleep here tonight...the feeling of holding Qing Qing while sleeping is so good...that is, if you mind, I¡¯ll go back...¡±
A big man said his thoughts a bit shyly like that and he also didn¡¯t dare to look at her. Such a thing happening to this devilish beauty in front of her, made Murong Qi Qi want tough and also love Feng Cang even more.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything making Feng Cang¡¯s distressful heart be even more shy. To outsiders, he and Murong Qi Qi were now ¡®siblings¡¯. If a big brother slept in a little sister¡¯s chamber, that would influence Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputations. Although, he indeed wanted to get Murong Qi Qi very much, but now, it¡¯s still not the right moment.
¡°Or, wait till we leave this ce full of conflicts and then...¡±
Feng Cang stood up and wanted to leave, but when he walked to the door, he was hugged by Murong Qi Qi from behind.
¡®Boom, boom...¡¯ Feng Cang¡¯s heart beat very fast. Could, could it be...
¡°Doesn¡¯t wangye love me?¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice with some resentment came from behind Feng Cang. It was cold with a touch of depression, making Feng Cang surprised. He quickly exined, ¡°No, Qing Qing, I didn¡¯t mean this...¡±
¡°I heard that when a man really loves a woman, he would find ways to be with that woman day and night and won¡¯t leave her for a moment. He would also rack his brains to let her heart belong to him and use various tactics, act coquettish or take the initiative...Wangye¡¯s performance of now made me very sad! Could it be that I don¡¯t have much appeal to wangye? That¡¯s why wangye gave me such a cold back so easily...?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s bitterints made Feng Cang have no way to deal with this little woman. Why was she always so different like this? She obviously epted him, but had to put on an aggrieved appearance of a little girl, making him couldn¡¯t help but love.
¡°Wangye, do you really love me?¡± When Feng Cang turned, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were covered with a faintyer of water. It¡¯s said tears were a fatal weapon given by god to women. Now, this weapon had been used by Murong Qi Qi on Feng Cang.
¡°Of course, I love you!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s knew the little person in his arms was acting cute and whinny. She was using her privileges as a woman to capture him. However, he happened to fall for this. Her charm, her whiny voice and her good bloomed just for him. So, he was very willing to be her prisoner.
¡°Then, if you love me, stay!¡±
After achieving her purpose, Murong Qi Qi tiptoed and kissed Feng Cang¡¯s lips. When Feng Cang was about to respond, Murong Qi Qi retreated. She left his arms and stretched herzy waist.
¡°So sleepy...too many things happened today. I¡¯m going to take a bath and sleep!¡±
With steps as light as those of a cat¡¯s, Murong Qi Qi left Feng Cang¡¯s line of sight, making him unable tough or cry.
When Murong Qi Qi reappeared, on her body was the fragrance of flowers and she¡¯d already changed into pajamas. Feng Cang had long been lying on the bed. He propped his hand and looked at the book in his left hand. Only when Murong Qi Qi appeared did he put the book down.
¡°So tired!¡± Without any concern, Murong Qi Qi lie down and nestled into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
Last night, it was in this embrace that Murong Qi Qi had a good night of sleep and didn¡¯t have the usual shallow sleep. Realizing this, Murong Qi Qi was finally sure that shepletely trusted Feng Cang. The trust from her body wouldn¡¯t be able to deceive her. That was why, she was so assured at letting Feng Cang stay.
Maybe because, during these past few days, she¡¯d experienced many turbulences; so after Murong Qi Qi kissed Feng Cang¡¯s red lips and said ¡°goodnight¡±, she fell deeply asleep.
¡°Little brat!¡± Looking at the little woman with apleteck of guarding, innocent like a child and also with a smile on her mouth, a thing called happiness filled Feng Cang¡¯s heart.
Originally, she was his bride, ah! Now, after going around a circle, she still returned to his arms! Feng Cang really wanted to thank the god¡¯s grace. Although he¡¯d experienced so much hardships; although he didn¡¯t have a healthy body, but god wasn¡¯t bad to him and gave him a perfect love. Could this be consideredpensation?
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t understand the many emotions of Feng Cang. She was already in her dreams. Feng Cang¡¯s embrace was warmer than she¡¯d imagined. It let her indulge more in it. Once she fell with her head into it, she couldn¡¯t be separated and leave again.
The day after the truth was exposed, Wanyan Lie¡¯s edict announced to the world that Murong Qi Qi was Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter. Her name was Feng Qi Qi. She¡¯s bestowed the title of princess Zhen Guo and Long Autumn pce was bestowed as princess Zhen Guo¡¯s residence.
After this edict came out, it attracted the guessing of countless people. Clever people keenly captured the alternation of power from this edict. One of them was East pce¡¯s crown princess Yu Shi Shi.
Ever since Yu Shi Shi was put into house arrest and even after the ban lifted, Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t let her touch their son Wanyan Jie again. This matter had made it to the emperor before it ended. In the end, Wanyan Jie was still returned to Yu Shi Shi¡¯s arms. Although she had an imperial grandson to depend on, but the moment Wanyan Lie¡¯s edict came out, it made Yu Shi Shi sensitively catch a strange taste from it.
Although on that day, when Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was exposed, Yu Shi Shi was not on the scene, but those who were present were stunned by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s beauty. They all said that she¡¯s a rare beauty of the world, inherited from Wanyan Ming Yue and also inherited the advantages of her parents. When these words were spread out, Yu Shi Shi had also heard some of these.
Yu Shi Shi remembered very well how graceful Wanyan Ming Yue was. A smile, a frown from the woman was exceptionally noble. Plus, with her flower and jade like looks and her kind character got her many points. Otherwise, why would she be the number one beauty of the world?!
As Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, Murong Qi Qi should not be bad. Besides, that day when Wanyan Hong came back to East pce, something was not right with him. Even more, the empress¡¯s Chun Tao came to the East pce and brought a secret letter from the empress to Wanyan Hong. This let Yu Shi Shi sense a trace of conspiracy.
Now, Wanyan Lie had issued an edict to the world. Murong Qi Qi had transformed into Feng Qi Qi. Besides, it¡¯s princess Zhen Guo and she was bestowed Long Autumn pce. What kind of glory was this? In the history of Bei Zhou, there was never a princess who got these. Let alone, Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t from the imperial family. She had a different surname. What did this emperor want to do?
Although Yu Shi Shi was the crown princess, but she wasn¡¯t as vicious as the empress and consort De in the pce. So, momentarily, she wasn¡¯t able to guess the deep meaning inside this. Only when she¡¯d received an invitation from consort De to enter the pce for tea and Murong Qi Qi was also invited, did Yu Shi Shi discover that this matter wasn¡¯t that simple.
Jingxin Hall was Lin Ke Xin¡¯s residence. It wasn¡¯t the first time Murong Qi Qi hade here.
Although Feng Cang was worried about Murong Qi Qi and wanted toe with her, but Murong Qi Qi told Feng Cang that she¡¯s now Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo. If those people wanted to disrespect her, then she¡¯d be able to use her identity and give a good show. In the end, she made Feng Cangugh. Only then, did he let her enter the pce alone.
¡°Aiyaya,e quickly!¡±
Hearing that Murong Qi Qi had entered the pce, Lin Ke Xin already let people wait outside of Jingxin Hall. When people announced that Murong Qi Qi was about to arrive at Jingxin hall, Lin Ke Xin immediately waited for Murong Qi Qi at the entrance of the hall. When she had just appeared, Lin Ke Xin met her with a smile. Affectionately, she pulled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand as if they knew each other for many years and that their rtionship was deep.
¡°Are you used to Bei Zhou? Our climate here isn¡¯t as good as Xi Qi¡¯s. We have a long winter. You need to take good care of yourself. If you miss something, let someone send me a letter. I¡¯ll prepare it for you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body got ayer of goosebumps at Lin Ke Xin¡¯s intimacy. These women who lived in the pce, if they didn¡¯t got something important, then they wouldn¡¯t be able to live well. Consort De has two sons. Although she¡¯s over forty, but in this pce, she was still a pivotal figure. It could be seen that she had some tactics.
¡°Thanking niangniang3 for your concern. Big brother has already prepared everything for me!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft words answered Lin Ke Xin¡¯s enthusiasm. The smile on Lin Ke Xin¡¯s face stiffened. Not a secondter, she was full of smiles again, ¡°Look at how muddleheaded I am. Nan Lin wang is such a caring person. I actually forgot about that!¡±
Not long after Murong Qi Qi sat down in Jingxin hall, did someonee to report that second prince and fifth prince have arrived. The moment Lin Ke Xin heard that her beloved son came, the smile on her face was no longer fake. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know if the smile on Lin Ke Xin¡¯s face was for Wanyan Yi or for Wanyan Kang.
¡°This subject son greats consort mother!¡± One after another, Wanyan Yi and Wanyan Kang appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi.
These two brothers were simr in appearance and body. It was just, Wanyan Yi wasn¡¯t as muscr as Wanyan Kang. He¡¯s a bit thinner. His smile was gently. His skin was white, unlike the healthy brown color of Wanyan Kang. Besides, on his mouth always hung a smile with a trace of badness in it.
¡°Yi er,4 you¡¯ve arrived!¡± Lin Ke Xin loved the second son from the bottom of her heart. Although, it was said that parents would love the youngest child the most, but at Lin Ke Xin¡¯s, she loved Wanyan Yi more. When mentioning this son, Lin Ke Xin felt proud from the bottom of her heart!
In Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart, everything was great about Wanyan Yi! Good character, great looks, great martial arts; he¡¯s simply a son to be proud of. The only shoring was that she¡¯s not the empress and couldn¡¯t give Wanyan Yi the position of crown prince. This was a scar in Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart. That was why, she pampered Wanyan Yi even more.
¡°Consort mother, I also came. Why did you only see second brother?¡± Wanyan Kang touched his nose with a look of dissatisfaction.
¡°You, ah. It¡¯s already good if you don¡¯t cause trouble for bengong!¡±5
With one look, Murong Qi Qi understood Lin Ke Xin¡¯s attitude towards her two sons. This mother was not only a little biased. Murong Qi Qi clearly saw the loneliness sh in Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes. She also felt injustice for Wanyan Kang. Both were her sons, why was the treatment so different?
However, the more Lin Ke Xin treated Wanyan Kang like that, the more Murong Qi Qi decided to oppose her. She immediately came to Wanyan Kang to greet him, ¡°Ah Kang, howe you only arrived now?! Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll take me for a stroll around the pce today?! In the end, you came sote. You really should be punished!¡±
How clever was Wanyan Kang? How could he not know that Murong Qi Qi being like this was to stand up for him. Immediately, Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes got wet. One was his biological mother, the other was Murong Qi Qi, who he hadn¡¯t known for a long time. Why couldn¡¯t consort mother be like Murong Qi Qi?!
¡°I waited for second big brother! My second big brother fears the cold, so he stood up a bitte!¡± Wanyan Kang forced the tears back and revealed a naughty smile again, ¡°Little cousin sister, you¡¯re so beautiful today! I¡¯m afraid, in this world, there won¡¯t be a girl more beautiful than you!¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk, in the past, didn¡¯t a certain person call me an ugly thing?¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head with a look of pride as if she was saying, now you know how powerful this miss is!
Not only Lin Ke Xin, but Wanyan Yi was also very stunned at Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang¡¯s friendly interaction. This little brother of his was the most yful person. He simply was the most shameful prince of Bei Zhou¡¯s imperial family. Why was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtion good with Wanyan Kang?
When he saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, Wanyan Yi directly froze. His heart also temporarily stopped beating. Why was there such a beautiful woman in this world? Why didn¡¯t he get to know her sooner? Could this be Murong Qi Qi true appearance? No wonder...
Seeing that Wanyan Yi had taken a fancy to Murong Qi Qi, Lin Ke Xin was very satisfied. Before, she was thinking about how to persuade Wanyan Yi, that for the throne, he must touch Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart and capture her! Now, that amazement in Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes made her happy; this consort mother got one of her wishes.
After all, she was a woman. The way a man looked at a woman, that kind of possessiveness; she was also young once, she understood these very well. As long as Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart was moved and he took the initiative, then this matter would be easy to handle.
¡°Yi er, go great your little cousin sister!¡± Lin Ke Xin deliberately didn¡¯t mention Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity of princess Zhen Guo. She only used a ¡®little cousin sister¡¯ to pull the rtionship between the two closer.
¡°Little cousin sister!¡± Wanyan Yi¡¯s etiquette was at the point. If you ignored the fact that it didn¡¯t reach his eyes, he was a graceful man.
¡°Hello!¡± Towards Wanyan Yi, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have the kind of intimacy as she had with Wanyan Kang. She didn¡¯t like this person. Although he looked refined, gentle and elegant, but like Wanyan Kang said, this big brother of his was very deep-minded.
1. Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
2. Jianghu: world of the martial arts
3. Niangniang: used to call all the females of the imperial family by others
4. Er: term of endearment
5. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family
Chapter 125 Monstrous jealousy (1)
Chapter 125 Monstrous jealousy (1)
Wanyan Yi was a bit gloomy that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t treat him warmly like Wanyan Kang, but he didn¡¯t show it.
Presumably, because since young, the things he got were always the best; his little brother Wanyan Kang got those he(WL) didn¡¯t want. That was why, his heart was always high above others. Now, suddenly getting a cold face from Murong Qi Qi, he truly wasn¡¯t ustomed.
Lin Ke Xin saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cold attitude towards Wanyan Yi. Then, seeing that there was talking andughing between Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang, Lin Ke Xin was a bit worried. Could it be that Wanyan Kang was the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first and acted in advance? How could this be right! Murong Qi Qi is the second daughter-inw, she took a fancy on. She¡¯s Wanyan Yi¡¯s imperial consort, how could she marry Wanyan Kang?!
The pavilion closes to the water enjoys the moonlight first: benefit from intimacy with a close person.
The second here refers to WY being the second son of WH, although he¡¯s the first son of LKX. Children are counted from the paternal line.
At this point, Lin Ke Xin had disgust for her younger son Wanyan Kang. Little brother stealing big brother¡¯s bride, such a scheme, such tactics; she really misjudged her younger son! Didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Kang who was usually all of smiles would have thoughts about the throne. Really hateful!
Murong Qi Qi gave a cold shoulder to Wanyan Yi and only talked with Wanyan Kang, making Wanyan Yi very awkward. Several times, he wanted to intervene, but didn¡¯t know what to say. For the first time, that kind of setback emerged in Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart. He truly didn¡¯t like this feeling.
Just as Wanyan Yi wanted to pull his and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtion closer, a ¡°His highness, the crown prince arrived! Her highness the crown princess arrived! Princess Bao Zhu arrived!¡± came in. With the arrival of these three, Jingxin hall became livelier.
When Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Murong Qi Qi, immediately feelings of envy, hate and jealousy emerged in their heart. In this world, there was actually such a beautiful and touching person. She abruptly defeated the two of them (in looks).
Before marriage, Yu Shi Shi was a famous beauty Bei Zhou. However,pared to Murong Qi Qi, she has a lesser aura and got more ordinary. Also, when Wanyan Bao Zhu was Murong Xin Lian, she had the title of the number one beauty of Xi Qi¡¯s capital. However, in front of Murong Qi Qi, even she felt ashamed because that kind of quick-witted was what shecked the most.
Now, the feelings Wanyan Bao Zhu had towards Murong Qi Qi was not the kind of hatred from before. They were more like seeing her as her enemy and also wanting to destroy the other party.
She already heard about the matter of Murong Tai and Li Qiu Shui. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was so noble and was far from what she couldpare to. Originally, she thought about how to step on Murong Qi Qi in the future. However, now it seems that it was just her wishful thinking and extravagant hope.
¡°Little cousin sister Feng...,¡± Since Wanyan Hong came in, his eyes didn¡¯t leave Murong Qi Qi. The day before, Murong Qi Qi wore a red pce dress and looked more beautiful than imagined. Today, she wore a yellow dress. It was fresh and pleasant, giving away another vor.
¡°Greetings to big cousin brother!¡± Like with Wanyan Yi, Murong Qi Qi only softly answered with one sentence. It was not cold nor warm, not close nor far. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude let Lin Ke Xin be a bit more at ease. Fortunately, her attitude towards Wanyan Hong was the same. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart didn¡¯t have someone she fancied.
Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t even mind the slightest about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude. Well, woman needs to have character! In his view, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s alienation was a character. It was stronger than those women who immediately jumped in his arms when they know he¡¯s the crown prince.
¡°When did little cousin sister arrive?¡±
¡°Just now...¡±
¡°Oh...,¡± Wanyan Hong looked thoughtfully at Wanyan Kang and then looked at Wanyan Yi. He was just about to say something, when he heard Jing De¡¯s voice, ¡°The emperor has arrived!¡±
Wanyan Lie came? Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart burst of excitement. She immediately led the bunch of people to wee the emperor.
The one who came with Wanyan Lie was Feng Cang. After the morning court meeting, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t let go of his worries. So, he came with Wanyan Lie. After seeing that Murong Qi Qi was safe and sound, did he let out a sigh of relief.
¡°Brother...,¡± When everyone was bowing and shouting long live ten thousand years, Murong Qi Qi rushed to Feng Cang like a little bird.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you wear more whening out? Where¡¯s the heater? Why didn¡¯t you bring it?¡± Feng Cang took of his fox fur coat and put it on Murong Qi Qi. Then, he put her small hands in his big palms.
The rtion between these ¡®siblings¡¯, aside from letting people be envious, in their eyes, it also had anotheryer of meaning. Once the husband and wife, now became siblings. Don¡¯t know how these two people changed their roles so quickly. However, looking at their intimacy, they seemed to be closer than siblings. It seemed that rtionship was not so easy to put down.
The strange siblings in the eyes of others, in Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes was something happy. Their rtionship was so great and they were so close, making Wanyan Lie a bit envious. Looking at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, he thought about himself and Wanyan Ming Yue.
From beginning to end, his feelings for Wanyan Ming Yue were buried in his heart. He could only forever look at her from afar. Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship was so great; he had a feeling that he found an intimate friend. His dream wasn¡¯t realized. How great would it be if it could realize on this pair of siblings...?
He and Wanyan Ming Yue ended in a tragedy. If the people who are now experienced the same thing as them, also be broken up, then wouldn¡¯t it be too pitiful? In the past, he didn¡¯t get happiness. However now, he has the power to let people get happiness. If these two children really love each other, then he¡¯ll support them!
Wanyan Lie had long forgotten how much he hated Feng Cang and also forgotten how he even more hated Feng Xie who got Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s heart. All these years, every time when he thought about how Wanyan Ming Yue became someone else¡¯s bride, his heart would get very cold. That was why, he used all means to get revenge through Feng Cang.
Now, he threw away all those things he did to Feng Cang in the back of his brain. What he saw was now a pair of bitter lovers like him in the past...
More than once, Wanyan Lie hated from the bottom of his heart that in his body flow he same blood as Wanyan Ming Yue. If they weren¡¯t siblings, he would certainly fight over her with Feng Xie and would certainly get Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s heart. He would be a pair of ideal lovers with her. However, he couldn¡¯t change his identity and also couldn¡¯t change his fate. This was the thing he hated the most!
Now, seeing Feng Cang repeat his road and was like the him of the past, Wanyan Lie had the feeling that their hearts beat as one.
However, Feng Cang is happier than him because at the same time Feng Cang likes Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi also likes him. They¡¯re each other¡¯s sunshine. However, they also couldn¡¯t change the fact that they have the same blood. No matter how much they struggle, they couldn¡¯t change their identity as siblings.
Why are tragedies always repeated? A trace ofpassion emerged in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. It was sympathy towards Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, this pair of unfortunate lovers. At the same time, there was also a trace of support for them.
After all, in the past Feng Cang said the vow, ¡°Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it.¡± And the him of that year, wasn¡¯t he the same as today¡¯s Feng Cang!
Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it: there are so many potential lovers to choose from, but you only pick one from among those potential lovers.
Li: Chinese mile: 500 meters
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know Wanyan Lie¡¯s thoughts. If they knew, they would¡¯ve been very taken aback! It was said, apanying one¡¯s sovereign is the same as apanying a tiger. An emperor¡¯s heart is the most difficult to guess. It had been like this since ancient time. Wanyan Lie was also like that.
¡°Qi Qi,e, let uncle take a look!¡± Wanyan Lie lovingly beckoned Murong Qi Qi. When she approached, Wanyan Lie nodded while looking, ¡°Looks like your mother. Really looks like your mother!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know why, but she didn¡¯t feel disgust from Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes. Instead, she could sense that the care and concern in this person¡¯s eyes were real. Really strange...Questions rose in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. If the matter of that year was done by Wanyan Lie, if everything that happened to Feng Cang was ¡®thanks¡¯ to Wanyan Lie, why when facing her, would he be so indulgent?
How would Murong Qi Qi know that after Wanyan Lie saw her and Feng Cang¡¯s affection, Wanyan Lie¡¯s got the idea to support them and also came up with a n.
¡°Emperor,e inside. It¡¯s cold outside!¡±
¡°Good! Qi Qi, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go inside and don¡¯t get a cold! Our Bei Zhou¡¯s weather is notparable to that of Xi Qi¡¯s!¡±
Lin Ke Xin was somewhat jealous at Wanyan Lie¡¯s concern for Murong Qi Qi. The emperor has many children, but she never saw him be so amiable before and use such a gentle voice towards anyone. Instead, he was like this when facing Murong Qi Qi.
Feng n already got too much imperial grace. Feng Cang held the military power and is someone who could produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another in Bei Zhou. Now, there¡¯s one more Murong Qi Qi. Then, wouldn¡¯t Feng n¡¯s power reach the skies?
After entering the hall, Murong Qi Qi sat next to Feng Cang. Although, they only didn¡¯t see each other for a moment, but to both, it felt like a long time had passed. Everyone saw the exchange of amorous nces between these siblings very clearly and they also understood clearly. In their hearts, they were puzzled if these siblings truly couldn¡¯t go back to proper human rtionship.
¡°Nan Lin wang1 and little cousin sister¡¯s rtionship is so great! Making people envious!¡± Wanyan Lie faintly said that. He wasn¡¯t a fool. How could the feelings Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes conveyed be that of siblings? It was obviously that of lovers!
Although Wanyan Yi wanted to marry Murong Qi Qi, because getting Murong Qi Qi meant getting the world. However, he was more willing to defeat Feng Cang. After all, a wang of a different surname holding military power is not a good thing for the whole court.
Even if in the future, he became the emperor, Murong Qi Qi became the empress and Feng Cang became his brother-inw, but in history there were more than enough cases where the brother-inw usurped the throne! He wouldn¡¯t let his guard down just because he got the beauty and in the end, lose the country.
What if by chance, Murong Qi Qi was a beautiful bait Feng Cang put out and the motive of these siblings was to get the country? Then, wouldn¡¯t he lose very badly?
Now, in Wanyan Yi¡¯s point of view, Murong Qi Qi was a drug which exuded temptation. If getting addicted and fell into some people¡¯s trap, in the end, he would lose more. However, if he could use this drug to deal with Feng Cang and at the same time win the power in one swoop, then it would be half the work, but twice the effect!
Wanyan Lie forgot that Feng Cang¡¯s power was given by Wanyan Lie. He also has forgotten that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was raised by Wanyan Lie. His whole mind was thinking about how to deal with Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi; how would he know that the boss above him would or wouldn¡¯t let such a thing happen?
¡°Flesh and blood were separated for so many years. Now, they identified each other, naturally they would be close. If siblings weren¡¯t close to each other, then wouldn¡¯t it be unreasonable?¡±
The one who spoke for Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi was actually Wanyan Lie. These let the two involved parties surprised and also let the others see Wanyan Lie¡¯s love for them.
In just a moment, Wanyan Hong decided. He must get Murong Qi Qi. This person is a beauty; he likes that. The meaning behind this person; he likes that even more.
Yesterday, when Chun Xing came to East pce to find him, she said those words from the empress.
¡°Your emperor father had always wished to get a daughter like princess Ming Yue. Moreover, he said if the daughter is like Ming Yue, he would certainly give the world to her. Now, the emergence of Feng Qi Qi let your emperor father¡¯s wish be fulfilled. No matter what, you need to get Murong Qi Qi. Even if you couldn¡¯t get her heart, you need to get her body. By then, your emperor father would give this world as the dowry of princess Zhen Guo to you!¡±
Although it was a fact that empress Li Bing was not favored, but Wanyan Hong knew, as the woman who apanied emperor father the longest, empress mother was able to hold on the phoenix seal and also her position was never shaken, she must have her own ability.
Just the thought of that red gecko cinnabar mark on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s snow-white arm, Wanyan Hong was so excited. He had seen many women, but one with such white and soft skin, Murong Qi Qi was the first one.
Just now, when Wanyan Yi ¡®provoked¡¯ that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship was like that of lovers and not of siblings, Wanyan Hong sensed the anger from emperor father. It could be seen that the ce Feng siblings had in emperor¡¯s heart was very heavy. He had to admit, sometimes, Feng Cang¡¯s status was even above his.
If he could marry Murong Qi Qi, that means that the throne is in his hand and the beauty in his arms. Besides, he would have a brother-inw with military power. Although this brother-inw wouldn¡¯t be willing to be manipted, but he could use Murong Qi Qi to restrict Feng Cang!
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s expression, he certainly loves Murong Qi Qi to the bottom of his heart.
If he controlled Murong Qi Qi, does he even need to be afraid to not be in control of Feng Cang? Even if by then, Feng Cang had the mind to usurp the throne, he could throw Murong Qi Qi out. By then, Feng Cang would lose his reputation and would lose the hearts of themoners. Even if he (FC) had the ability, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get out of his (WH) palms!
However, in order to get Murong Qi Qi, the first one he needed to get rid of is the one who had the position of crown princess, Yu Shi Shi...He need to let her get off that position. Otherwise, if he let Murong Qi Qi get the position of cefei2, emperor father wouldn¡¯t be satisfied. Instead of waiting for emperor father to act, he may as well act first. Maybe by then, he could even get a good impression in front of Wanyan Lie.
Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Yi, this pair of imperial brother¡¯s thought were contrary to each other. Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu, these two women¡¯s thought were amazingly very simr.
From Murong Qi Qi, Yu Shi Shi saw an unprecedented crisis. She saw the desire from Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes clearly. This man is someone ruthless and unscrupulous. If his heart was bent on marrying Murong Qi Qi and disposing herself, what should she do? On whom can she still depend on now?
Because Murong Qi Qi threatened her position, Yu Shi Shi considered her, her number one enemy. And Wanyan Bao Zhu, at this moment just hate everything about Murong Qi Qi. In the past, she (MQQ) was Murong household¡¯s legitimate daughter and was above her (WBZ). Now, she¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo and was even more above her. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu ept this?
Why was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s life better than hers? Why was it that Murong Qi Qi was always more advantageous than her? She refused to ept that!
Now, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Longze Jing Tian¡¯s wedding didn¡¯t even have the first stroke of the character eight, but it was already certain that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s future would be Bei Zhou¡¯s empress. This was obviously above her again. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯spetitive heart ept this?! Time after time, she was oppressed and stepped on by Murong Qi Qi. When would such days end?
Didn¡¯t even have the first stroke of the character eight: things have not begun to take a shape
She wasn¡¯t resigned, resigned that everything about Murong Qi Qi was stronger than her!
The atmosphere was very strange. Murong Qi Qi took everything from the others into her eyes. No matter if it was envy, jealousy, hate, or unwilling to be reconciled and calctions; all of these made her feel that it was funny. Originally, she didn¡¯t want to participate in anything. However, she had been put in this ce by Wanyan Lie. She couldn¡¯t not face these. Thinking of it, she¡¯s the most innocent one.
Since this identity brought her a lot of trouble; if she didn¡¯t use her identity to show off once, wouldn¡¯t she put those deep meaning in these people¡¯s eyes to shame?
¡°Uncle, eunuch Jing De said Long Autumn pce is the most beautiful ce of the harem, is that right?¡±
The emotions in the people¡¯s eyes, directly teased out Murong Qi Qi¡¯s rebellious heart. The more people are jealous of her getting the imperial love, then should would let this love be worthy of its name!
¡°That¡¯s right! What, do you want to go take a look?¡± From the tone of Murong Qi Qi, she seemed to be interested in Long Autumn pce. Wanyan Lie was very happy.
Before the battle at Yandang mountain, Wanyan Lie already emptied Long Autumn pce. Even though, he knew that Long Autumn pce was the residence of the empress since ancient times, but he still refused to bestow it to Li Bing. In Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart only Wanyan Ming Yue was worthy of living in Long Autumn pce. Untilter, when he ced Wanyan Ming Yue in the underground of Long Autumn pce, only then did he get those women.
Now, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter Murong Qi Qi returned. Of course, he should ¡®return it back to its rightful owner¡¯ and let Murong Qi Qi live there. In the past, how much did he wish for her mother to live there. Although, this wish couldn¡¯t be fulfilled, but that didn¡¯t mean he gave up.
Wanyan Ming Yue had been in a deep sleep for so long and refused to wake up to look at him. If she knew that her daughter was found, if he let her hear stories about Murong Qi Qi and hear Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice, would she forgive the things he had done and would wake up?
¡°Alright! Anyway, sitting is also quite boring!¡± While Murong Qi Qi spoke, she stood up. Feng Cang put the cloak on for her. He also considerately prepared a heater and gave it to Murong Qi Qi. Until after, she got everything done, was he assured.
This intimate move of these siblings changed taste in everyone¡¯s eyes. Only Wanyan Lie was delighted. It seemed that he saw his younger self and the young gorgeous Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°You all don¡¯t have to go! Zhen 3 will apany Qi Qi there! Cang er, you also take a rest. With zhen here, no one would bully Qi Qi!¡± When Feng Cang put on the fox fur coat and was about to go together, Wanyan Lie said that. He excluded everyone other than Murong Qi Qi.
Wanyan Lie wanted to be alone with Murong Qi Qi? This let Feng Cang¡¯s heart be rmed. After all, Wanyan Lie did many ck-hearted things towards Feng family. If he wanted to do something against Murong Qi Qi, then what should he do?!
¡°Big Brother, wait here for me!¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled sweetly at Feng Cang and gave him reassurance. If Wanyan Lie wanted to do something to her, she would just take his head and regard it as revenge for Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Then, she could also leave here sooner with Feng Cang.
Following Wanyan Lie, a bunch of people mightily went to Long Autumn pce. When they arrived at Long Autumn pce, Wanyan Lie let the servants stop and only went inside with Murong Qi Qi.
Have to say, this Long Autumn pce was the most the most extravagant with gold and jade glorious splendor, Murong Qi Qi had ever seen. It was way more splendid than the hall Wanyan Lie used for court meetings. What let Murong Qi Qi be surprised was that this Long Autumn pce was filled with plum blossom.
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Cefei: second ranked consort of the prince of first rank or the crown prince
3. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
Chapter 126 Monstrous jealousy (2)
Chapter 126 Monstrous jealousy (2)
¡°My mother also liked plum blossoms...,¡± Murong Qi Qi whispered as she gently stroked the bright red flowers.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words let Wanyan Lie get lost in wild and fanciful thoughts. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi also became gentler. It seemed that many years ago, Ming Yue had also dressed like this and stood in the plum blossom garden very beautifully. Until now, he was unable to forget it.
¡°That¡¯s right, ah! Ming Yue likes plum blossoms the most...¡±
While saying this, Wanyan Lie¡¯s voice had a trace of loneliness in it, surprising Murong Qi Qi.
Why, whenever he mentioned Wanyan Ming Yue, Wanyan Lie¡¯s tone sounded so sad? She¡¯d heard that when Wanyan Ming Yue was alive, this big brother loved her very much and wished to get the stars from the sky for her. If this love was real, then why would Wanyan Lie n that matter of Yandang mountain? Why did he plot against the husband and wife, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue? And why did he put all hatred on Feng Cang?
This man was full ofplex contradictions. In the end, what kind of secrets were there?
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi staring at him, Wanyan Lie smiled gently. Wanyan Ming Yue was the number one beauty of the world; as her big brother, when Wanyan Lie was young, he was also a handsome man. Even now, though he had be old, but his bearing was still out of the ordinary and didn¡¯t show an old state.
¡°Uncle, I like this Long Autumn pce very much. In the future, I wille here often.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Wanyan Lie¡¯s mood very good. He wanted to tell his good news to Ming Yue immediately; to let her know that he¡¯d found her daughter, that he¡¯d found her baby!
Murong Qi Qi stayed for a long time in Long Autumn pce. Wanyan Lie apanied by her side. He introduced everything of Long Autumn pce to her. When they arrived at the ce where Yue Lan Zhi had previously lived, Murong Qi Qi discovered that this ce had been sealed off.
¡°You said it was bad luck, so zhen1 let people seal it. Anyway, this ce is big. You could choose any ce you like and live there.¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded. She turned and looked at the yellow seal on the red door. Then, she left Long Autumn pce with Wanyan Lie.
Although, she¡¯d entered the pce this time because of Lin Ke Xin¡¯s invitation, but in the end, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t talk much with Lin Ke Xin. After she¡¯d left Long autumn pce, she had been sent out of the pce by Wanyan Lie. Feng Cang heard that Murong Qi Qi had returned to the wangfu,2 so he didn¡¯t say anything further and also left.
And Wanyan Lie¡¯s actions made Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart feel even more uneasy.
What did the emperor mean? She (MQQ) was obviously someone she¡¯d invited, but she¡¯d only stayed for a short time in her Jingxin hall. She (LKX) didn¡¯t even had time to let Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi cultivate feelings before she (MQQ) was taken away by Wanyan Lie. Later, he¡¯d even personally let Jing De send Murong Qi Qi back to the wangfu.
Could it be that her Jingxin hall was a ce with severe floods and fierce beasts? Was he worried that she would swallow Murong Qi Qi? Or was it that the emperor had other thoughts?
Severe floods and fierce beasts: extremely dangerous or threatening
Lin Ke Xin wondered about the emperor¡¯s thoughts for a long time. In the end, she concluded that in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart, the position of crown prince was still unshakeable. Wanyan Lie had seen through her n. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, but he directly blocked the interaction between Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi. Was this not obviously showing that he was helping Wanyan Hong?
It seemed that she needed to use some unscrupulous means! Instantly, Lin Ke Xin thought of Wanyan Kang.
Wanyan Kang had seemed very close with Murong Qi Qi. Since the emperor wanted to obstruct, then don¡¯t me her for using another way to achieve her purpose! This throne is her Yi er¡¯s!3 Only her Wanyan Yi was the most suitable candidate for that position!
After she had been sent back to Nan Lin wangfu, Murong Qi Qi saw two acquaintances as soon as she¡¯d entered. One was Longze Jing Tian. The other was Bai Yi Yue. Murong Qi Qi was somewhat surprised at the appearance of these two.
¡°Miss Murong, are you really general Feng Xie and princess Ming Yue¡¯s daughter?¡± Seeing that unfamiliar face, Bai Yi Yue couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. After hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s story, Bai Yi Yue had the feeling of being deceived.
¡°I am.¡± Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t guess theplex feelings in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s eyes nor understand them. It was just, why was the thing called ¡®hate¡¯ in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s eyes?
¡°You lied to me!¡± The voice of the always gentle like water Bai Yi Yue rose. Her tone became sharp, ¡°I saw you as my good friend. I didn¡¯t think that you would actually lie to me!¡±
¡°Yi Yue, I also just recently found out about it...¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to listen!¡± Bai Yi Yue roared this sentence. She fiercely red at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, ¡°I was blind and took a wrong friend! In the future, you are no longer my friend! I¡¯m also unworthy to associate with princess Zhen Guo!¡±
Leaving this sentence behind, Bai Yi Yue ran out of Nan Lin wangfu.
¡°Yi Yue!¡± Murong Qi Qi wanted to chase after her, but as soon as she left the ce, she saw that there was no longer any trace of Bai Yi Yue. Murong Qi Qi was very worried about her. She saw Ruyi nearby and immediately stopped him, ¡°Ruyi, help me protect miss Bai! I am afraid that she will do something foolish!¡±
After hearing Bai Yi Yue¡¯s situation, Ruyi nodded and went to search for Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Do you know why miss Bai was like that?¡± Longze Jing Tian came up behind Murong Qi Qi. Seeing her worried face, he exined, ¡°Yi Yue (Remembering Yue), Yi Yue; when miss Bai¡¯s father named her, in his heart, he was thinking of another woman. That person was your mother, princess Ming Yue...¡±
After Longze Jing Tian said this, Murong Qi Qi understood. She remembered those words Bai Yi Yue had said on the sixth test in the pagoda.
¡°Father, is mother really just that woman¡¯s substitute? Yi Yue, Yi Yue, could it be that father really couldn¡¯t forget that woman named Ming Yue? Father, mother waited for you so many years, why are you so cruel? Actually, daughter hates the name Yi Yue very much, because daughter...feel heartache for mother...¡±
So, it was like this. Murong Qi Qi finally understood. No wonder when Bai Yi Yue looked at her, her eyes were filled with hate. Presumably, she was crying injustice for her mother!
¡°This matter doesn¡¯t have anything to do with you. Don¡¯t me yourself. Miss Bai is a sensible person. She would understand!¡± After seeing that Murong Qi Qi really cared about this friend Bai Yi Yue, Longze Jing softlyforted at her side.
I hope so...Murong Qi Qi was thinking in her heart. She regarded Bai Yi Yue as her true friend and didn¡¯t want to lose her. She didn¡¯t want to be like this and let the grievances of the parents affect their friendship.
Fortunately, there was Ruyi who would take care of her. Presumably, nothing would happen to Bai Yi Yue in the meantime. Murong Qi Qi felt slightly more at ease. She looked at Longze Jing Tian, ¡°Jing wangye, why did youe today?¡±
¡°I especially came to show my gratitude to princess for saving my life!¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words were vague. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t understand. Seeing that she didn¡¯tprehend his words, Longze Jing Tian reminded her, ¡°Back when I was being chased, it was princess who¡¯d saved me. That time, princess said that you¡¯re Du Xian Er...¡±
¡°Oh...¡± Hearing Longze Jing Tian had brought up the past, Murong Qi Qi chuckled, ¡°It was only a slight effort, wangye4 shouldn¡¯t be concerned about it.¡±
¡°Although in princess¡¯s heart, it was only a trivial matter, but benwang5 had always put princess in my heart.¡±
Longze Jing Tian stepped forward and caught the scent of the green apple fragranceing from Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body. His heart was immediately moved. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t miss her! Fortunately, he didn¡¯t give up! Fortunately, they still had a chance...
¡°Does wangye intend to repay me?¡± Murong Qi Qi took one step to a side. She didn¡¯t like people getting so close to her, aside from Feng Cang.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®withdrawal¡¯ made Longze Jing Tianugh bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he¡¯d offended her very badly in the past. So, now she didn¡¯t even want to give him any chance. ¡°It¡¯s me, I want to repay princess. I just don¡¯t know how to show my gratitude!¡±
¡°Very simple! Firstly, bengong6 likes money. Although in the past, wangye has indeed given me gold. But, if five hundred thousand made wangye feel that it didn¡¯t match your status, you could add more money. Secondly, bengong is tired and wants to sleep. Troubling wangye to go back. Bengong needs to go get my lost sleep back!¡±
These two points blocked Longze Jing Tian¡¯s mouthpletely. He thought that the debt of gratitude would be repaid with the flesh. He thought that since Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang had no chance, he could take advantage of this opportunity and marry Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would only have two requirements: one was money, the other was f*** off. This woman really didn¡¯t give him face.
¡°Xian Er...¡± Seeing that Murong Qi Qi had turned and wanted to leave, Longze Jing Tian reached out and grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrist. ¡°Xian Er, give me one more chance, alright? Originally, you were engaged to me. Originally, you would¡¯ve been my wangfei!¡±7
¡°Let go!¡± Murong Qi Qi wanted to take back her hand. She didn¡¯t expect that Longze Jing Tian¡¯s hand was like shackles and firmly locked her in ce.
¡°No!¡± Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth and looked at that beautiful face of Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Benwang once let go and almost let benwang brush past the love of benwang¡¯s life. Now, benwang has finally gotten the opportunity. This time, benwang absolutely won¡¯t let go, absolutely...¡±
Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to finish, a figure in white appeared in front of him. The next moment, Longze Jing Tian felt pain in his lower abdomen. He was directly sent flying with a kick. With a ¡®boom¡¯ sound, he fell on the ground.
¡°Servants, close the door, let the dogs out...¡± Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist and looked coldly at Longze Jing Tian. He only came a bitte. He didn¡¯t expect that such a big and stinky fly would appear. He (LJT) actually touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrist! This is his! His!
¡°Cough, cough!¡±
Longze Jing Tian clutched his abdomen and painfully curled on the ground. He didn¡¯t think that Feng Cang would appear so suddenly. He also didn¡¯t expect that Feng Cang¡¯s kick would be so powerful. A piercing pain came from his abdomen. That kick had been really strong.
Now, Feng Cang said ¡°Close the door, let the dogs out¡±; what did Feng Cang take him for?
¡°Wangye, are you leaving by yourself or do you want us to shoo you away?¡± Feng Qi led a group of people towards him and they all surrounded Longze Jing Tian. Everyone red at Longze Jing Tian, and if he¡¯d said, ¡°I won¡¯t leave¡±, they would be very willing to lift him up and throw him out.
A country¡¯s wangye being thrown out; how shameful would that be?! Longze Jing Tian struggled and stood up by himself, ¡°Benwang will leave by myself!¡±
Before he stepped out of wangfu, Longze Jing Tian turned once more to look at Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Xian Er, I won¡¯t give up! I definitely won¡¯t let go!¡±
¡°Get out...¡± There was obviously anger in Feng Cang¡¯s voice. His tone reached Longze Jing Tian. It made his ears feel a piercing pain. Longze Jing Tian quickly clutched his ears. How sorry his figure could be, was how sorry his figure was now.
¡®Bang...¡¯ Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to take a breath, Nan Lin wangfu¡¯s entrance closed with a bang. He was thoroughly closed out and couldn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure again.
I won¡¯t give up! You¡¯re mine! I won¡¯t give up! Longze Jing Tian clenched his fists and fiercely turned back. He looked back once again at the red door. Murong Qi Qi was the bride he¡¯d set his eyes on. He won¡¯t give up. He would never give up!
Inside Tingsong building, Feng Cang was full of vinegar. He bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear like an angry little animal and vented the dissatisfaction in his heart.
¡°Wangye, there¡¯s really nothing between us. You have to believe me!¡± The warmth from her ear made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s whole body feel itchy. She quickly dodged his bite.
¡°Humph! You call him wangye. You also call me wangye. I don¡¯t even know which wangye you¡¯re calling!¡±
Feng Cang put his arms over each other and pouted angrily. The originally almost transparent face, because of anger, had be red like an apple, making people couldn¡¯t help but want to kiss that face.
And that pair of devilish beautifully eyes were now full of fire. At his Qing Qing¡¯s side, there were so many flies. The big one called Longze Jing Tian actually chased her to the wangfu and also grabbed her wrist. How could he not be angry?!
Feng Cang was arrogant and lovable. Murong Qi Qi could only go to him and give him a superficial kiss on the face. ¡°How about I call you something else? What do you like? For example, Cang, Cang Cang, little Cang Cang, beloved, darling, baby...¡±
Only when Murong Qi Qi recited a series of nicknames, did Feng Cang¡¯s face be a bit better, ¡°In any case, I don¡¯t want a poprized nickname! Lest I couldn¡¯t tell if you¡¯re calling me or calling Longze Jing Tian!¡±
Feng Cang saying this, let Murong Qi Qi know that he truly was angered by Longze Jing Tian¡¯s matter. She didn¡¯t expect that when this man is jealous, his temper was really bad. However, getting jealous meant that he cared about her. This was something to be happy about. When a man didn¡¯t care about you anymore, no matter what you do, even if you eloped, he wouldn¡¯t have an opinion!
¡°How about we kill him?¡±
Feng Cang pped at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s suggestion, ¡°Great! I heard that Moyu is the best at assassinations. Qing Qing, why don¡¯t we ask Moyu¡¯s killers to kill Longze Jing Tian? What do you think?¡±
When Feng Cang mentioned Moyu, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but twitch a while. What did Feng Cang hear? Could he know that she¡¯s Du Xian Er? If he knew that she¡¯s that killer who was like a serpent from those rumors, what would he think?
¡°Forget it, don¡¯t kill him. After all, he¡¯s still in Bei Zhou. If something happens to him, Xi Qi would certainly make trouble for Bei Zhou.¡± Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to speak, Feng Cang immediately changed his opinion and kindly left Longze Jing Tian¡¯s life intact.
Just when Murong Qi Qi was thinking about why Feng Cang had changed his attitude, Feng Cang¡¯s chin was on her forehead, ¡°Qing Qing, your heart can only have me, do you know that?! Just the thought of you falling in love with another, makes my heart feel pain as though a dagger was carving it. Qing Qing, you¡¯ve already be a part of my life. If I lose you, I don¡¯t know what to do...¡±
These words of affection were what Murong Qi Qi wanted to say, but unexpectedly, Feng Cang said them first.
¡°Cang, I won¡¯t fall in love with another, because you¡¯ve already filled my heart and nobody else could enter it.¡± To this point, Murong Qi Qi could only use such words to express her heart. And the firmness in her watery and full of feelings eyes, made Feng Cang¡¯s worried heart gradually calm down.
¡°Then, it¡¯s good¡± Feng Cang closed his eyes and kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead.
In the afternoon, Feng Cang summoned Nn Xin to the study.
¡°Go, go investigate wangfei¡¯s identity.¡± The moment Nn Xin entered, Feng Cang threw a piece of paper at Nn Xin. After reading the contents, Nn Xin frowned, ¡°Wangye, you¡¯re saying that wangfei may be Moyu¡¯s Du Xian Er?¡±
¡°Firstly, go investigate Longze Jing Tian. He was once running away from an assassination. Go investigate who¡¯d saved him. If it was Du Xian Er, then Du Xian Er is wangfei.¡± The moment he thought about what he heard during the day, Feng Cang¡¯s heart would feel uneasy.
If Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er, then it could exin why every time Guanghua gongzi8 would stake (bet) a thousand pieces of gold on one throw on Murong Qi Qi...
Stake a thousand pieces of gold on one throw: throw away money recklessly.
The rumors of the jianghu9 were that Du Xian Er and Guanghua gongzi were a couple. If Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er, then who was Guanghua gongzi? What was their rtionship? If they really are lovers, then what should he do?
Feng Cang didn¡¯t dare to think further. Ever since he heard that Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er, his heart hadn¡¯t yet calmed down.
In Feng Cang¡¯s heart, the probability of Murong Qi Qi being Du Xian Er was very high. Du Xian Er was very good at using poisons and Murong Qi Qi was Lian gongzi; being able to save people was also being able to kill people. Those who were proficient in medicine were also proficient in poisons; this matched like a puzzle. Besides, Du Xian Er was beautiful like a fairy, that was why she got the name ¡®Xian Er¡¯. And how could Murong Qi Qi¡¯s outstanding appearance be described with only ¡®Xian¡¯...
Du Xian Er: Du = poison, Xian= fairy/immortal/goddess, Er= term of endearment
If it was determined that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was Du Xian Er, then wouldn¡¯t it mean that he had a strong rival...Guanghua gongzi?
The work efficiency of Fu Sheng Men was very high. That night, Nn Xin returned with the answer. Sure enough, the one who had saved Longze Jing Tian was Murong Qi Qi. Besides, it was because of Du Xian Er that Longze Jing Tian had broken off the engagement and split with Murong Qi Qi. It was just, that fool didn¡¯t know Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er. Now that he found out, he regretted it. That¡¯s why he¡¯de to look for Murong Qi Qi and continue their fate once again.
¡°Wangye, what should we do?¡± Seeing that Feng Cang¡¯s face changing from ck to white and white to ck, Nn Xin was a bit nervous. Usually, such a situation indicated that master¡¯s mood was very bad and that someone would die. He didn¡¯t know who that unlucky person was.
¡°Shut down Guanghua gongzi¡¯s Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai!¡± Feng Cangmanded this order with gritted teeth. I don¡¯t care who you are! You dare to fight with me over Qi Qi; I will let you regreting to this world!
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Er: term of endearment
4. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
5. Benwang: this king/ I, used by the prince of first rank
6. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family

9. Jianghu: world of martial arts
Chapter 127 The Fight of the dragon and the phoenix (1)
Chapter 127 The Fight of the dragon and the phoenix (1)
Nn Xin understood the strong vinegar taste in Feng Cang¡¯s words.
Ever since he got this wangfei,1 wangye¡¯s2 eyes only had wangfei. Now, he knew wangfei¡¯s ¡®secret¡¯. Feng Cang, who had such a strong personality, naturally wouldn¡¯t tolerate this.
After all, Guanghua gongzi3 had a good reputation. Before, wangye praised Guanghua gongzi for withstanding the pressure ¨C that evil and good couldn¡¯t coexist- and still be together with Du Xian Er. He also praised that they were an outstanding couple of the jianghu4. Now that he knew Du Xian Er was wangfei, wangye couldn¡¯t hold it any longer and also couldn¡¯t calm down.
However, not only Feng Cang, even Nn Xin was shocked at this result.
Wangfei was such a gentle and lovely woman, how could she had anything to do with the Du Xian Er, the one who caused people¡¯s faces to change colour whenever they heard her name? Nn Xin truly couldn¡¯t imagine it.
In the jianghu, there were many rumors about Du Xian Er. No matter if it was vicious and merciless, or killed people as though she was cutting grass, Nn Xin didn¡¯t see these actions with his own eyes so he didn¡¯t think it was believable. However, at the very least, Moyu had flourished in these five years after it was put in Du Xian Er¡¯s hands. This was an indisputable fact. This woman had the ability and the courage and was a rising star in the jianghu.
It was just, Du Xian Er was wangfei? Wangfei was Du Xian Er? Nn Xin still hadn¡¯t recovered about this from the moment he got the news.
Although there hadn¡¯t been much contact between him and Murong Qi Qi, but when he was a teacher at the Murong household, he had taught Murong Qi Qi lessons for some time. During that period, he didn¡¯t notice anything strange from Murong Qi Qi, ah.
If he didn¡¯t really verify Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity, he truly wouldn¡¯t be able to ept that wangfei was Du Xian Er.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it wasn¡¯t difficult to find the simrities between Murong Qi Qi and Du Xian Er. Outside, it was rumored that Murong Qi Qi was a rubbish. However, how could a rubbish pass the tournament of the four countries? Let alone pass the finals!
No matter if it was against Guli or Murong Qing Lian, from beginning to end, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s weapon had been a red muslin. To be able to manipte a red muslin like it was her own body, how could a person like this not be a master?! It seemed that there were times they had seen a person wrongly.
Presumably, after finding out wangfei¡¯s identity, wangye must have been very shocked!
Previously, when the rumors about Du Xian Er and Guanghua gongzi had spread out, wangye was relieved and felt that Du Xian Er¡¯s marriage had been solved. He also could justify himself to that old poisonous fart of Moyu. Now, Du Xian Er was wangfei and he loved wangfei so much. Between the two, a Guanghua gongzi fell from the sky as the third party; wangye must feel very anxious and ufortable in his heart.
¡°Wangye, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯s not very good to touch Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. It seems...¡±
Nn Xin hadn¡¯t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Feng Cang. He (FC) stood up. His phoenix eyes narrowed. From the icy purple eyes exuded a strong chillness, ¡°You¡¯re right. Touching Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai is just to scratch the outside of the boot. I¡¯ll kill him to avoid danger in the future!¡±
To scratch the outside of the boot: ineffectual
Feng Cang¡¯s words made Nn Xin stunned. He was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, Nn Xin softly asked, ¡°Wangye, you...you mean kill Guanghua gongzi?¡±
¡°Of course! He dared to touch my woman, he also needs to have the ability to withstand my anger!¡±
What did that have to do with this?! Nn Xin almost fainted. Just now, he wanted to persuade Feng Cang to consider the bnce of powers in the jianghu and not to touch Guanghua gongzi for now. However, now master wanted to directly kill Guanghua gongzi?
Heavens, master must have surely been carried away by jealousy. Could it be that he didn¡¯t know Guanghua gongzi¡¯s prestige among themoners? Could it be that he didn¡¯t know that killing Guanghua gongzi would let all the women in the world rebel? This was simply making everyone an enemy, ah!
Since ancient times, the most dangerous wind is the pillow talk. Although there was nothing to fear from those women, but in this world, there was no woman who didn¡¯t like Guanghua gongzi¡¯s clothes and jewelries.
Wind: pillow talk/intimate conversation in bed
Killing Guanghua gongzi was the same as killing the longing in their hearts for beautiful things. Forget those women crying, in case they blew wind at their men, then what to do? Many of them would be from the jianghu, from the court and also from the imperial family. If that wind blew up, it could sweep the maindpletely, ah!
¡°Wangye, Guanghua gongzi is not an ordinary character. Below, you have the merchants; above, you have the nobility. As long as there¡¯s a ce with a mistress, there would be no ce who didn¡¯t love Tong Bai Zhai and Jue Se Fang. Even the empress dowager in the pce couldn¡¯t praise Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s jewelries enough...If you really touch Guanghua gongzi, the tears of those women would be enough to flood Yan capital!¡±
What Nn Xin said was the truth. However, his words got converted into another meaning in Feng Cang¡¯s ears, ¡°He¡¯s but a man who relies on women!¡±
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Nn Xin was choked by his saliva. These words from Feng Cang was too mean. If Guanghua gongzi truly relied on women, and he (G) and wangfei were a couple; then didn¡¯t that mean that wangfei is maintaining a gigolo?! Wangfei maintaining a gigolo, then what is wangye? Green hat? Nn Xin couldn¡¯t help but stare at Feng Cang¡¯s head...
Green hat: cuckhold
Nn Xin¡¯s expression was strange. Now, Feng Cang also became aware of the strangeness in his words. He also coughed twice, ¡°In short, there are three steps to deal with a rival. First, inquire about the actual situation. Second, determine each position. Then, kill in one shot!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang¡¯s words, Nn Xin almost spat out blood. What¡¯s the matter with wangye? He¡¯s actually using military strategies to deal with a rival. Really rare!
Feng Cang had never been as tense as now. Although there were many stinky flies at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side; for example, the put things out in the open Longze Jing Tian. Another example, Wanyan Hong, who operated secretly. Another example, the proper Li Yun Qing...However, they were all people he had seen in person and they had exchanged some blows.
There¡¯s a saying: easy to dodge a spear in the open, hard to avoid a stab in the dark. He had been busy guarding against the flies, so he didn¡¯t know when this outstanding Guanghua gongzi captured his little wangfei. How could he endure this?
Easy to dodge a spear in the open, hard to avoid a stab in the dark: hard to guard against secret conspiracies
Not to mention, he had seen those other rotten and stinky flies. That Guanghua gongzi was elusive. Even though he¡¯d guarded his little wangfei tightly day and night, but they¡¯d still kept in contact. Besides, they¡¯d also be a famous couple of the jianghu. How could Feng Cang ept this?!
When did they get to know each other? How long had it been since they¡¯ve known each other? When did their feelings blossom? Under his strict guarding, how did this Guanghua gongzi contact Murong Qi Qi? These questions puzzled Feng Cang, making his mind unable to turn.
¡°Wangye, since you have so many headaches, why don¡¯t you go ask wangfei? From this subordinate¡¯s point of view, wangfei still cares very much about you!¡±
¡°No!¡± Feng Cang rejected Nn Xin¡¯s suggestion. If Murong Qi Qi told him a heart-piercing and heartbroken result, then what should he do? If Murong Qi Qi says that she¡¯s only temporarily living here and in the future, she would fly away with Guanghua gongzi, he was afraid that he would really do something terrible.
¡°Wangye, the most important thing between lovers is honesty. Since you love wangfei, why don¡¯t you frankly tell her your thoughts? You need tomunicate more,municate more...¡±
¡°No!¡± Feng Cang gritted his teeth. He didn¡¯t want love out of sympathy and didn¡¯t want Murong Qi Qi to give him love out of charity.
Since Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er, then she must have known about those rumors of her and Guanghua gongzi. She knew and still let such rumors appear. With his understanding of Murong Qi Qi, Guanghua gongzi must weigh very much in her heart.
Feng Cang was somewhat nervous. He was afraid that between Guanghua gongzi and him, Murong Qi Qi would choose Guanghua gongzi. He couldn¡¯t make himself go face this truth.
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯splex expression, Nn Xin felt even more that love was a torturing thing. The originally wise and like an immortal wangye, why would he always lose his reasoning when encountering matters rted to wangfei? Could this be the so called ¡®those involved couldn¡¯t see clearly¡¯?
It seemed that no matter what he says, wangye wouldn¡¯t ept. He might as well let their passion collude once again.
Since Guanghua gongzi was an opportunity, why not use this opportunity to let wangye and wangfei¡¯s hearte closer to each other?! It was just, if Guanghua gongzi truly blocked wangye¡¯s road of love, no need for wangye to speak, he would clean the road for wangye.
Thinking till here, Nn Xin no longer expressed his views. He only waited for Feng Cang¡¯s instructions.
¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use, but I want you to find Guanghua gongzi in the shortest time possible. If he doesn¡¯t show his face, then clean Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang with blood. I don¡¯t believe that he still won¡¯te out after being forced like this! I want to personally see what kind of person this rival is. He dared to have ideas about my woman!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Toward this wangye who was full of jealousy, Nn Xin knew that opposing wouldn¡¯t work. The only way was to find Guanghua gongzi, tie him up in front of wangye and let them pk. Otherwise, wangye¡¯s vinegar would flood the entire Bei Zhou.
Feng Cang stayed in the study a long time for the matter of Guanghua gongzi. When he returned to Tingsong building, it was already night. Murong Qi Qi had long changed clothes and slept. Seeing that calm face of Murong Qi Qi under the candlelight, Feng Cang reached out and gently stroked her slightly furrowed brows.
¡°Qing Qing, I won¡¯t let go! I will even bring you to heaven or hell! Also, don¡¯t think to break free from me!¡±
Sensing that there was someone, Murong Qi Qi slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Feng Cang, she yawnedzily, ¡°You returned!¡±
This sentence let Feng Cang¡¯s mood be a lot better. It was like a wife waiting at home for the husband to return. She then would use the sentence ¡®you returned¡¯ to eliminate the fatigue from the husband.
¡°Come, I¡¯ll help you take off the outer clothing!¡± Feng Cang picked up Murong Qi Qi. These past few days, it had been him who helped Murong Qi Qi dress. She seemed particrly ipetent at these cumbersome clothes. She was already so big, but still couldn¡¯t get the inner and outer skirt right. So, Feng Can incumbently became Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®nanny¡¯.
¡°Mm...,¡± Murong Qi Qi was very sleepy. She closed her eyes and let Feng Cang take off her clothes. When, her body felt cold, the next moment, she was put into a warm nket by Feng Cang.
Touching a gentle body, Murong Qi Qi climbed to Feng Cang with her eyes closed. ¡°Why did you return only now?! I waited a long time for you...¡±
Because of being sleepy and half conscious, Murong Qi Qi had her eyes closed from beginning to end. Her voice had a trace of whine and me in it. Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. He felt how real she was in his arms. His worried heart finally eased down.
¡°There were some things that needed to be dealt with. That was why I camete. Be good! Sleep! I¡¯m here next to you!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded. Her small face leant on Feng Cang¡¯s solid shoulder. Her small hands fumbled over Feng Cang¡¯s body for a while, ¡°Cang...¡±
¡°Mm?¡±
¡°Although, you looked quite thin, but your body still quite had the material, ah! Murong Qi Qi groped with her eyes closed. Her fingers wandered on Feng Cang¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Eight packs, Cang, you¡¯re very sexy, oh! Really, a book shouldn¡¯t be judged by its cover, ah!¡±
While talking, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand continued to explore. She was muddleheaded from sleep; how would she know that her behavior undoubtedly provoked Feng Cang¡¯s male dignity? Just when her hand slipped to his lower abdomen, Feng Cang caught her hand in time.
¡°Cang?¡± Murong Qi Qi was a bit dissatisfied being interrupted by Feng Cang. She strived to open her eyes and looked at Feng Cang.
¡°Littlezy cat, I don¡¯t want to get you when you¡¯re muddleheaded!¡± Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s naughty hand and took her into his embrace, ¡°You must be very tired today after entering the pce. In the future, let¡¯s don¡¯t go anymore! Lest to not get a headache after seeing those people!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words sessfully changed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s line of sight. She nodded very cooperatively, ¡°That¡¯s right! In the future, aside from meeting grandmother, we won¡¯t meet anyone else! That crown prince is very annoying. Second prince is also very annoying. Ah Kang is so pitiful. We need to care more about him...¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Feng Cang chuckled. He touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. Seeing Murong Qi Qi close her eyes once again, Feng Cang thought about the words Nn Xin said, be frank,municate....
¡°Qing Qing, Longze Jing Tian called you Xian Er? Why...?¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know if such behavior was disgraceful or not. At this moment, Murong Qi Qi was very muddleheaded from sleep. Her brain wasn¡¯t working well. Asking her now, she certainly will speak the truth. He took this opportunity to get information from Murong Qi Qi, is it a bit despicable?
Just a moment, the Feng Cang who thought about being a bit despicable and was a bit ashamed; after seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pinky cheeks, his heart was hit once again.
Let¡¯s just be shameless! In any case, Murong Qi Qi is his woman. Even if he needed to give it his all, he still would let her be his physically as mentally! Now, it¡¯s the time to defend and fight for his wife. It was not the time to talk about benevolence and morality. Could it be, to let him shake hands on the battle field with the enemy and say, ¡°How are you?! Did you have dinner? The weather is not bad today, ah!¡±
Even if he was polite, those flies who was like wolves wouldn¡¯t because of this, give up the ¡®harassment¡¯ of Murong Qi Qi. If they were polite, they wouldn¡¯t covet his Qing Qing!
¡°Because I still have another name called Du Xian Er, ah!¡±
Sure enough, it was the same as what Feng Cang thought. Murong Qi Qi was muddleheaded from sleep. How would she know what sober is? That was why, when Feng Cang asked her, she answered!
¡°Qing Qing, are you Moyu¡¯s Du Xian Er?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Murong Qi Qi pouted and frowned, ¡°Don¡¯t I look like it?¡±
¡°Like...¡±
¡°No, not like, I am!¡± Murong Qi Qi yawned a small yawn. Her small mouth came to Feng Cang¡¯s face and ¡®smacked¡¯ his face a bit. ¡°Goodnight, Cang. I¡¯m so sleepy...Also, my heart only has you and doesn¡¯t have him...¡±
After saying that, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s breathing was even. Her mouth was slightly open like petals.
This woman, ah! She didn¡¯t have any guarding in front of him. Feng Cang deeply kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. She acknowledged her identity. His heart also got a certain.
Now, the only problem is the matter of Guanghua gongzi. Could it be that Guanghua gongzi pestered and didn¡¯t want to leave his Qing Qing alone? Otherwise, why would she say that her heart doesn¡¯t have him? Is this ¡®him¡¯ not referring to Guanghua gongzi?
Murong Qi Qi had a good sleep. Although Feng Cang hoped he could think the rtionship between her and Guanghua gongzi clearly, but he didn¡¯t know why with a beauty in his arms, he was sleepy enough. Not long after, he fell asleep with his arms around Murong Qi Qi.
Since Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang shared a bed, the list of things Su Mei and Su Yue needed to do had be smaller. This guye5 dealt with every matter, regardless of its importance. It made the two of them have less work to do.
Feng Cang had to go to the morning court every day. He got up early and always put his official robe on very carefully, without a sound. Then, he would leave kisses on both of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheeks, her forehead and her lips before leaving. Murong Qi Qi slept in during the winter. She always happened to wake up just when Feng Canges back from the morning court.
So, the work of dressing her became Feng Cang¡¯s work. During these past two days, even Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair had been done by Feng Cang.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair was long to her ankles. It slid like satin. Feng Cang loved it very much. So, he simply took over the job ofbing her hair over from Su Mei and Su Yue. Although he couldn¡¯t doplicated hairstyles, but he could still do simple braids. It so happens that Murong Qi Qi liked to be simple. So every day, she walked around wangfu6 with a small pigtail.
¡°Miss, guye is really a versatile husband. He¡¯s not only elegant in public but also good in the kitchen.¡± In the garden, Su Mei and Su Yue, one on each side, apanied Murong Qi Qi.
Elegant in public but also good in the kitchen: good husband/wife both domestically and socially. It¡¯s usually used to describe the wife
These two didn¡¯t know about Feng Cang¡¯s real identity. So, they were scared out of their wits about Feng Cang staying in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chamber. Although, in these times, there were also marriage between siblings, but the marriages were mostly between cousins. Where were there people like miss and Feng Cang who¡¯re acting like this despite being biological siblings? This was too shocking!
In China, cousin from the paternal line (cousins with the same surname) were considered brothers and sisters. For example, if my father¡¯s brother had a son/daughter, he will be called eldest brother/sister. My father had a son/daughter, who will be called second brother/sister. And if my father¡¯s brother had a son/daughter again, the son will then be called third brother/daughter. The ¡®cousin¡¯ usually is omitted and I need to only use ¡®brother/sister¡¯ to address them. Even if ¡®cousin¡¯ is still used, which is very rare, it would be tang-ge (big cousin brother) and not the biao-ge (big cousin brother) from the maternal line. It was not so well epted to marry cousins with the same surname. However, it was epted to marry cousins from the maternal line (cousins with different surnames).
Butter, seeing that Feng Cang treated Murong Qi Qi with his whole heart, these two gradually epted it.
Siblings being lovers was against human rtions. However, since miss truly likes him, naturally they hope miss to be happy! It was just, even though they supported Murong Qi Qi, but they were also worried. They feared that this love of miss would never be able to see the daylight! Hiding this, when will it end?!
Seeing Su Mei teased her, Murong Qi Qiughed, ¡°Ah Kang is also not bad, ah! Recently, he came so much to the wangfu and wished he could move in here...
¡°Miss!¡± Su Mei¡¯s face turned red after Murong Qi Qi mentioned Wanyan Kang. She stomped, ¡°Miss, if you continue to be like this, I¡¯ll ignore you!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright! I won¡¯t speak anymore!¡± Although Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t spoke, but theughter in her eyes couldn¡¯t deceive people.
Su Yueughed at a side. Su Mei¡¯s face got redder. She didn¡¯t dare to do anything on Murong Qi Qi, Su Mei picked on Su Yue, ¡°Su Yue, don¡¯tugh at me. I saw on a certain year, a certain month, a certain day and a certain night, you and a certain person were whispering sweet words...¡±
¡°Oh? Su Yue also has love affairs now? What is it? Tell me!¡± The moment Murong Qi Qi heard, her small face was filled with excitement, ¡°When did it happen? Who¡¯s the man who had such good eyes? And took a fancy on our Su Yue?¡±
The Su Yue who was originally teasing Su Mei, after hearing this was stunned, ¡°What did I do? Su Mei, don¡¯t arrange anything for me, ah! Miss, don¡¯t listen to her!¡±
¡°Tsk! Not at all! It was on miss¡¯s wedding night. Su Yue and Nn Xin talked for a long while under the building!¡± Su Mei saw that Su Yue had a serious look, she immediately broke the news to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Miss, you don¡¯t know. When Su Yue left, Nn Xin stared at her back for a long time. While looking, he alsoughed foolishly...¡±
¡°Lass, what are you talking about?!¡±
Compared to the hot temper of Su Mei, Su Yue was a lot think skinned. Seeing Su Mei bring up a ¡®groundless¡¯ matter, she exined to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Miss, it¡¯s not like that! That night, teacher Nn Xin seemed to look for wangye about something. I stopped him. It was just like that, there¡¯s nothing else!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Murong Qi Qi touched her chin and looked thoughtfully at Su Yue, ¡°Nn Xin? He¡¯s not bad! He¡¯s wangye¡¯s people. I can help you two be a match...¡±
The more Murong Qi Qi talked, the more outrageous the matter became. Su Yue was angry. Her small face was red. She wanted to exin, but she didn¡¯t know how to say it. Now, Su Mei was happy. She apuded at a side, ¡°Miss, why don¡¯t you be Yue Lao and pull a red string to let them be a pair. How great!¡±
Yue Lao: the god of marriage
¡°Great, you ass!¡± Su Yue was pressed to much. She finally uttered foulnguage. ¡°I won¡¯t leave miss. I will serve miss my whole life! If we all leave, who would take care of miss?!¡±
Hearing Su Yue¡¯s words, Su Mei didn¡¯tugh any longer. She thought about when sir Mozun passed away. He personally told them to take good care of Murong Qi Qi. If they really all marry, then at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side there would be no close people.
Chapter 128 The Fight of the dragon and the phoenix (2)
Chapter 128 The Fight of the dragon and the phoenix (2)
Thinking till here, Su Mei quieted down. Seeing the two pretty girls in front of her, Murong Qi Qi sighed. She walked to them. Her left hand held Su Mei, her right hand held Su Yue.
¡°You two fools, ah! With I, your miss¡¯s ability, how would I not be able to take care of myself?! Men and women should get married once they¡¯vee of age. You¡¯re always staying at my side, what to do if you¡¯ve missed your life?! I don¡¯t have sisters, so I took you as my close big sisters! If you aren¡¯t happy, then I also won¡¯t be happy!¡±
¡°So, if you have someone you love, have a rtion you want to pursue, you must let yourself go and love boldly. If the fate is missed, then it would be a regret of your whole life. I don¡¯t want to see you two sitting there regretting about the past when you¡¯re old...¡±
¡°Miss...,¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made the two girls want tough and also be moved.
Even though Murong Qi Qi was their master, but she didn¡¯t have the arrogance of a master. Instead, she was very forgiving to them. She really was like their sister. To be able to stay at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side was something to be proud of for Su Mei and Su Yue.
¡°Promise me, if you find your happiness, you must bravely pursue it!¡± Murong Qi Qi put Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s hands together. Her hands also fell on theirs. ¡°It won¡¯t be enough if only I was happy. All three of us need to be happy!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Su Yue and Su Mei¡¯s eyes be wet. They nodded.
This scene fell in Nn Xin¡¯s eyes. It seemed that wangfei 1 truly wasn¡¯t an ordinary person! Even in this time where the hierarchical system was very important, she was able to get along with her maids like sisters!
These past few days, Nn Xin had followed orders to investigate Guanghua gongzi.2 He didn¡¯t expect that this Guanghua gongzi was truly like the rumors. He was like a holy dragon without a tail. He (NX) simply couldn¡¯t find his tail.
Murong Qi Qi and Guanghua gongzi knew each other, so they should have a special way of contacting each other. Hence, Nn Xin set his eyes on Murong Qi Qi. It was just that, usually Murong Qi Qi doesn¡¯t go out of the residence. Wangye 3 was also almost always at her side. Therefore, the one who contacted Guanghua gongzi for her must be one of her maids.
Look out for Su Mei and Su Yue and find the clues from them, was the idea Nn Xin came up with.
¡°Miss, look, Nn Xin is secretly staring at Su Yue again!¡± Su Mei had sharp eyes. With one look, she saw Nn Xin. She immediately stabbed Murong Qi Qi at her side, ¡°Like I said, Nn Xin took a fancy to Su Yue.¡±
Hearing Su Mei say this, Su Yue¡¯s face became red again. After Murong Qi Qi¡¯s marriage, she and Nn Xin indeed have a few encounters. However, they didn¡¯t talk much and only nodded at each other, nothing more. Nn Xin¡¯s character was not bad. It was just, Su Yue doesn¡¯t know if she liked him or not.
Seeing Nn Xin appear, Murong Qi Qiughed. It seemed that there was a chance. Why doesn¡¯t she y matchmaker a bit? ¡°Cough, cough! Su Yue, go to Tong Bao Zhai to see if the jewelry I¡¯d designed for the empress dowager¡¯s birthday is done. I have Su Mei to serve here, you don¡¯t need to worry...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were very tant. It was like, you stay outside for a bit longer. Even if you don¡¯te back, it¡¯s fine...
¡°Miss...,¡± Su Yue was shy.
¡°Go! Naturally, I should bring a gift to grandmother¡¯s birthday! Usually, it was Su Mei who run the errands. Today, I need to talk with Su Mei about Wanyan Kang. It¡¯s better if you go.¡±
Nn Xin was far. He didn¡¯t hear what Murong Qi Qi said. Seeing Su Yue leave, he also followed.
Nn Xin following Su Yue confirmed Murong Qi Qi and Su Mei¡¯s thoughts. The two exchanged a nce andughed. There¡¯s indeed a chance!
After leaving the wangfu,4 Su Yue went directly to Tong Bao Zhai. After three days, it would be the empress dowager¡¯s birthday. Earlier, Murong Qi Qi had designed a set of jewelries called ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯. All were made from the best red jade. During these past two days, it should have beenpleted.
Nn Xin followed not far nor near behind Su Yue. Only after seeing Su Yue enter Tong Bao Zhai, did he affirm his thoughts. Murong Qi Qi had indeedmunicated with Guanghua gongzi through her maid. It was just, only knowing this was not enough. The most critical thing was finding Guanghua gongzi.
Recently, even though on the surface wangye was deadly calm, but Nn Xin, who¡¯d followed Feng Cang for a long time, felt Feng Cang¡¯s anxiously waiting heart. Presumably, everyone in love was like this.
¡°Teacher Nn, what are you doing here?¡± When Nn Xin came out of the daze, Su Yue was already in front of him. Once again, being in such close proximity with Su Yue made Nn Xin¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but jump badly.
Su Yue was not a very beautiful girl, but she was the kind who, the more you looked at, the morefortable it would get. The more you looked at her, the more she was worth a second look. Especially Su Yue¡¯s eyes. They seemed like they could talk. It¡¯s said that the eyes were the windows to the soul. Presumably, this girl¡¯s heart was also very beautiful.
¡°I was only passing, turn...turn...,¡± Nn Xin didn¡¯t know why; but when Su Yue looked at him, he had a feeling of suffocation as though he couldn¡¯t breathe. It was very ufortable.
Could he be possessed? Nn Xin patted his forehead. How silly he could look like, was how silly he looked like now.
Seeing Nn Xin like this, Su Yue was somewhat anxious. Unconsciously, her hand touched his forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have fever, ah...¡±
Feeling the warmth of Su Yue¡¯s soft hand and smelling the fragrance from her fingertips, Nn Xin¡¯s face turned red. Like avoiding gue, he stepped back, ¡°That, I¡¯ll go first. I still have something to do!¡±
Not waiting for Su Yue to speak, Nn Xin fled the scene like a gust of wind.
The attitude of the other party made Su Yue feel a bit injured. Could miss be wrong and Nn Xin didn¡¯t like her? Otherwise, why would he escape so fast?
At the other side, Nn Xin was also surprised. When had he ever acted like this? Why was it whenever he saw Su Yue, his heartbeat would speed up and he wouldn¡¯t even be able to speak a full sentence?
He heard that the people from Moyu were good with poisons. Presumably, Su Yue at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, should also be an expert at poison. It was just, when did she put poison on him and let him get infected unknowingly? It seemed that in the future, he needed to stay far away from Su Yue!
In just a moment, Nn Xin gave up on the idea of inquiring about Guanghua gongzi from Su Yue. He decided to do as Feng Cang said; kidnap the people of Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang to force Guanghua gongzi toe out. It was wangye who was right; when it¡¯s necessary, using violence was the fastest solution to the problem!
Dongfang Lan¡¯s birthday arrived as nned. During these past few years, Dongfang Lan had been staying in the temple. This was the first time that she¡¯d celebrated her birthday. Originally, the empress dowager didn¡¯t want to get so many people involved and be too extravagant. However, Wanyan Lie said that they could use this opportunity to introduce princess Zhen Guo. Only after thinking about Murong Qi Qi, did Dongfang Lan nod and ept the celebration.
As the only person who had a blood rtionship with her in this world, Murong Qi Qi was very respectful towards Dongfang Lan. Early in the morning, Murong Qi Qi arrived at Jinxuan pce. These past few days, aside from staying in the wangfu, she also came to Jinxuan pce to apany the empress dowager.
¡°Aunt Qing, good morning!¡± Murong Qi Qi entered smilingly. When she saw Qing Gu, she greeted her.
¡°Princess, today you came really early!¡± Qing Gu also liked this long-lost princess very much. In the past, it was she who raised princess Ming Yue. Now, although the beauty had passed away, but Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter inherited her looks and gesture, making people couldn¡¯t help but transfer their love for Ming Yue to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Aunt, has grandmother woken up?¡±
¡°She just woke up and asked about princess. Didn¡¯t expect princess toe so soon!¡±
When Murong Qi Qi put the set ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯ made from red jade in front of Dongfang Lan, not only Dongfang Lan, even the eyes of the pce maids at a side, almost fell out.
¡°Wishing grandmother to have this day every year and that you¡¯ll have today¡¯s glory forever! May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains!¡±
¡°Good! Good! So beautiful! Aijia5 has seen many treasures, but none were as good as the one Qi Qi gave me!¡± With one look, Dongfang Lan fell in love with this set of jewelries. Not to mention the value, the design itself was unheard of and unseen before. Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t even know how to describe it.
¡°This jewelry must be from Tong Bao Zhai, isn¡¯t that right?!¡± Qing Gu had sharp eyes. With only one look, she could tell that this set of jewelries was out of the ordinary.
Seeing that Qing Gu recognized it, Murong Qi Qi nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right! I and Guanghua gongzi met once. It just so happened to coincide with grandmother¡¯s birthday; I especially let Guanghua gongzi create this ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯ for grandmother. Grandmother, do you like it?¡±
¡°Like! Like! Qing Gu, today aijia will wear this ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯ and let everyone know my granddaughter¡¯s filial piety.¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Originally, Dongfang Lan was already dressed. Now, especially for this set of jewelry from Murong Qi Qi, she¡¯d changed. When this pair of grandmother and granddaughter arrived at Taiji hall, everyone had already arrived and only waited for Dongfang Lan.
¡°Empress dowager arrived! Princess Zhen Guo arrived!¡±
The moment they¡¯d heard Murong Qi Qi arrived, the officials stretched their neck, wanting to see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance clearly.
Ever since the moment Wanyan Lie made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity public and also bestowed her with the title of princess Zhen Guo, the officials were very curious about this offspring of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Although from the pce came the news that Murong Qi Qi looked very much like Wanyan Ming Yue and was a beauty of this generation, but the things you hear may be false. Only believe in what you see.
Although Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s appearance was still deeply engraved in these people¡¯s hearts, but Murong Qi Qi, that ordinary girl who¡¯d appeared on the pce banquet, how could she be Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter? This news was too shocking.
In order to confirm the truth, many people sharpened their heads to squeeze into Nan Lin wangfu to see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s beauty.
However, Feng Cang protected Murong Qi Qi very well. He declined everyone and besides, every time Murong Qi Qi entered the pce, Feng Cang would be at her side. The carriage was also tightly covered. This made everyone¡¯s curiosity rise to the peak. So, they waited for the empress dowager¡¯s birthday. Big and small officials, all came to Taiji hall.
¡®Bang...¡¯ One person¡¯s chopsticks fell onto the ground. His mouth was wide open. Beautiful, so unusually beautiful...
Not only this person, the others also felt the same. That woman wore a yellow dress. On the dress were lilies embroidered with golden threads.
Her thick ck hair was in a high bun. She didn¡¯t use any jewelry. Only a yellow band fixed the hair. A few strands hung loosely and reached Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist. With every step, they gently swung with her body like a fairy descending from heaven.
The hand Wanyan Lie stroked his beard with froze when Murong Qi Qi entered.
Ming Yue...seeing Murong Qi Qi who looked and acted like Wanyan Ming Yue, Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes got wet. Ming Yue, zhen6 has found Qi Qi. Are you happy?
Crown prince Wanyan Hong and second prince Wanyan Yi were designated to sit at either side, and their eyes shed amazement. Although this wasn¡¯t the first time they saw Murong Qi Qi, but every time they saw her, she was able to give them a new feeling.
The hand Wanyan Hong had on Yu Shi Shi couldn¡¯t help but pinch her waist fiercely.
¡°Ah...,¡± Yu Shi Shi frowned and screamed in a low voice. Wanyan Hong¡¯s strength was great. Presumably, on her waist there would be one more purple trace.
Yu Shi Shi¡¯s scream let Wanyan Hongugh. His aquiline nose looked sharper, ¡°It seemed that this crown prince wasn¡¯t dreaming. This is real!¡±
Only after Wanyan Hong said that, did Yu Shi Shi understand what he meant. It turned out that he thought he was dreaming after seeing the fairy like Murong Qi Qi. That was why he¡¯d pinched Yu Shi Shi hard. Only after hearing her pain, was he sure that he wasn¡¯t dreaming. This man was really despicable!
Yu Shi Shi endured the pain and gritted her teeth. She couldn¡¯t express any trace of dissatisfaction. Recently, Wanyan Hong¡¯s attitude towards her was very bad. Yu Shi Shi knew that this change was because of Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Hong had set his eyes on Murong Qi Qi. So, he wanted her to give up her position and give it to Murong Qi Qi.
Now, to Yu Shi Shi, she¡¯de to the most critical moment in her life. She couldn¡¯t and wouldn¡¯t give up her position of consort to others like this. Not to mention, it was Murong Qi Qi! She couldn¡¯t let Wanyan Hong pick her thorn (find any fault in her)!
How would Yu Shi Shi know that Wanyan Hong already had the intention to kill her. No matter how good she performed, she was only an abandoned chess piece. She was useless, so naturally he should give up on her, lest to let her block his foot and also take up space! So, no matter what Yu Shi Shi did, her fate was only death.
Murong Qi Qi personally helped Dongfang Lan sit down. Then, she walked to her seat. Her seat was next to Feng Cang. She had just sat down when Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face came over, ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful today...¡±
¡°Thank you...,¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled at Feng Cang. Her small hand also reached out for Feng Cang under the table and went into Feng Cang¡¯s big hand. ¡°Cang, today you¡¯re also particrly handsome and charming...¡±
Feng Cang was happy from the bottom of his heart. Because today, Nn Xin will bring people to sweep Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang in Yan capital. He already ordered to let none of those who protested to remain alive. And to tie up those still living. He would use these lives to force Guanghua gongzi to appear.
All the beautiful things of this woman belonged to him. All her bad things also belonged to him. Of course, in his eyes, Murong Qi Qi was perfect without any ws. So, no matter what happened, Murong Qi Qi was his woman. He would not allow anyone to have ideas about Murong Qi Qi!
Hearing Murong Qi Qi once again use ¡®charming¡¯ to describe him, Feng Cang chuckled and revealed a smile which was able to entice all living beings. His fingers gently scratched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s palm, making Murong Qi Qi giggle.
Murong Qi Qi was happy. Feng Cang was also happy. By the time the pce banquet was finished, Nn Xin would also have done everything sessfully. Guanghua gongzi always cherished his underlings. If he found out that his people were kidnapped, he would certainly take the initiative to find him (FC). By then, he would trample this rival like trampling an ant to death to avoid this man tempting his little wangfei¡¯s heart! That heart belongs to him. She had long been branded with his traces. Even if she allows it, he wouldn¡¯t agree!
Seeing the intimate interaction of Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie was increasingly pleased. Heaven must¡¯ve felt the depression and injustice that he¡¯d felt in his heart. That was why it made such a pair of siblings toplete what he couldn¡¯t personally aplish.
This pair of children must be as pitiful as he was in the past. It was just, they were braver than he was!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Lie somewhat envied Feng Cang. At least, he¡¯s (FC) brave and had the courage to fight for his happiness. And Wanyan Lie himself, because of being siblings, he felt shameful and also deliberately avoided Wanyan Ming Yue. If he also had Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s courage, would it be different now?
Lin Ke Xin, who¡¯s sitting beside Wanyan Lie, clearly felt the fluctuation of the moods from the man next to her. From the touch of sadness and the thick pampering from Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes, Lin Ke Xin was certain that Wanyan Lie truly loved Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. It seemed that she must let her son do his best more often.
She heard that recently, Wanyan Kang had been frequently going to Nan Lin wangfu. It seemed that this younger son of hers forgot her hint. He truly wanted topete for the throne with Wanyan Yi! She wouldn¡¯t allow such a thing to happen! This world is Wanyan Yi¡¯s. Even if it¡¯s Wanyan Kang, he also couldn¡¯t take it!

Chapter 129 Setting Jue Se Fang on fire (1)
Longze Jing also came for Dongfang Lan¡¯s birthday. Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji also came with him.
Originally, Longze Jing Tian had to return to his country. However, after Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity was exposed, he stayed put. Taking Murong Qi Qi as wife was his wish. If he didn¡¯t achieve this, then he wouldn¡¯t give up.
As for Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji, they were more worried about Murong Qi Qi. No matter if it¡¯s Murong Qi Qi or Feng Qi Qi, in Li Yun Qing¡¯s and Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s eyes, she was the person they cared about.
They were shocked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s true identity. The two wanted to visit Murong Qi Qi at Nan Lin wangfu,1 but they were stopped by Feng Cang¡¯s people. Only because of the empress dowager¡¯s birthday were they able to see her.
It was just, after seeing Murong Qi Qi, no matter if it was Li Yun Qing or Shangguan Wu Ji, their hearts received a huge impact. No matter how exaggerated the rumors were outside, no matter how noble Murong Qi Qi¡¯s real identity was, it wasn¡¯t as real as seeing it with their own eyes.
Aside from that pair of eyes, which was still as quick-witted as before, this person¡¯s facial features had changedpletely. They couldn¡¯t see the ¡®original¡¯ appearance anymore.
It turned out that she was such a beauty...
Seeing the Murong Qi Qi sitting beside Feng Cang, Li Yun Qing was in trance for a while. That pair of man and woman was like immortals. If it wasn¡¯t because the blood rtionship hindered, they would¡¯ve been the most suitable people of this world. It was just, fate yed with people, making such a change happen...
Now, Shangguan Wu Ji finally understood why he and Murong Qi Qi always brushed past each other and didn¡¯t have any intersection. Because, between them was the hatred of Feng n and Shangguan n.
All the outstanding males of Shangguan n died on the battle at Yandang mountain. The one who led Bei Zhou¡¯s army back then was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s father...Feng Xie.
If, before Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity had been exposed, she¡¯d let him take her away, Shangguan Wu Ji would¡¯ve taken Murong Qi Qi away without turning back. However, after seeing such a Murong Qi Qi now, seeing the identity behind her, a thing called ¡®persist¡¯ of the n instantaneously copsed in Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart.
Why? Why not leave him with a beautiful memory? Why cast a steel wall between them to separate them?
Since he was young, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s dream was to be a great general and beat Bei Zhou.
For this dream, he bore many hardships and sweated a lot. Once, he even thought about going against Feng Cang for Murong Qi Qi. However, now these two people were actually siblings. Murong Qi Qi was actually Feng n¡¯s daughter. This made Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s footsteps for revenge be stiffened and he wasn¡¯t able to move forward, but also couldn¡¯t move backwards...
Looking from afar at the happy smile on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart was in very much pain. Even if he persisted, those lives of Shangguan n, who¡¯d died at Feng Xie¡¯s hand, and those ck tablets in Shangguan n¡¯s ancestral hall would let him unable to persist.
¡°Wu Ji, let go...,¡± Li Yun Qing seemed like he understood Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Disregarding the hatred between the countries and the families, if you love her, you should wish for her happiness, isn¡¯t right?¡±
Li Yun Qing¡¯s words heavily hit Shangguan Wu Ji¡¯s heart.
Letting go was difficult. Picking up was also difficult. If one day, he and Feng Cang confronted each other on the battlefield; she as Feng n¡¯s daughter would certainly stand at Feng Cang¡¯s side. How could he attack the woman he loves?!
Bei Zhou¡¯s officials didn¡¯t bother with the thoughts of Xi Qi¡¯s subjects. Their attention was on Murong Qi Qi. Although in this world, there were many beauties, but such a beauty like Murong Qi Qi, who was capable of causing the downfall of a city or state, was very rare.
She¡¯d inherited her mother Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s beauty, but that pair of unyielding eyes was very much like Feng Xie¡¯s. Just looking at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance made everyone certain that this girl was truly Feng n¡¯s blood.
Everyone was paying attention to Murong Qi Qi. Only Wanyan Bao Zhu pressed her lips tightly together.
Since the moment Longze Jing Tian had arrived, her eyes had been locked on Longze Jing Tian. No matter if she was Murong Xin Lian or Wanyan Bao Zhu, she wanted to sit on the position of Jing wangfei2 But ever since Longze Jing Tian had appeared, his eyes had been looking at Murong Qi Qi, full of love. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu ept this?
That woman, when she was Murong Qi Qi, she¡¯d already spoiled her good matter. Now that she became Feng Qi Qi, she still attracted bees and butterflies. So hateful! Could it be that this woman was born to restrain her? She wasn¡¯t resigned! She couldn¡¯t ept it!
Thinking about all the things she¡¯d suffered because of Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s heart would be in pain. She must get this shame back! She couldn¡¯t not calcte this bill!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Bao Zhu looked at the empress dowager who was sitting in a high ce. Today was the empress dowager¡¯s birthday. Everyone would offer their gift. She had long prepared her gift. By then, she must defeat Murong Qi Qi!
Since it was Dongfang Lan¡¯s birthday, this pce feast was exceptionally lively. Above were the emperor and empress. Below were the princes and princesses. Everyone needed to prepare a gift for Dongfang Lan. When it was Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s turn, her gift was a string of red sandalwood Buddha beads.
¡°Imperial grandmother, granddaughter polished these beads one by one and the word ¡®Buddha¡¯ was also carved one by one by granddaughter. Granddaughter also specifically invited a monk to bless them!¡±
When Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s Buddha beads were presented, Dongfang Lan liked them very much. She repeatedly said, ¡°Good.¡±
¡°Bao Zhu is very sensible! You were thoughtful!¡± Wanyan Lie nodded with satisfaction. The daughter being filial, for a father was a thing worthy to be happy about. In particr, every one of the red sandalwood was mellow round and artificially grinded. She must¡¯ve spent some time on it. It seemed that Wanyan Bao Zhu must¡¯ve long begun to prepare for this gift!
The princess¡¯s gift received the empress dowager¡¯s and the emperor¡¯s approval. The officials also went along and, one by one, praised princess¡¯s filial piety. Listening to these words, Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t reveal a proud face. She still had a look of modesty.
¡°No arrogance, good! Bao Zhu is big and sensible now. Zhen3 is very pleased!¡±
While talking, Wanyan Lie looked at Longze Jing Tian. He¡¯s quite satisfied with this Xi Qi¡¯s wangye.4 At least, he has the talent and looks. In the future, he may get the throne. Before, Wanyan Bao Zhu had shown her love for Longze Jing Tian. Since his daughter liked him, he, as the emperor father, should match them.
¡°Jing wang, zhen heard that your marriage hasn¡¯t been arranged yet! Don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve someone you like.¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s sudden words pulled Longze Jing Tian out of his thoughts. He immediately stood up and bowed at Wanyan Lie, ¡°Benwang5 fancy Bei Zhou¡¯s princess...¡±
Hearing this, Feng Cang¡¯s hand paused and his eyshes dropped slightly. The hand scratching Murong Qi Qi also stopped, ¡°Qing Qing, that stinky fly is damn annoying!¡±
To Feng Cang¡¯s jealousy, Murong Qi Qi would like to give a kiss as constion. However, now they were in public. Because of their identity as siblings, Murong Qi Qi could only turn her hand. Her fingers gently touched Feng Cang¡¯s palm. ¡°Cang, you should be happy!¡±
¡°Happy?¡± Feng Cang raised an eyebrow and looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pink face. If it wasn¡¯t because there were many people around, he would¡¯ve like to bitten her and get a taste of her.
¡°It means your eyes are good! The more people who like me, the more it proves that you¡¯ve good eyes and picked the best treasure of this world!¡±
¡°Oh...¡± Towards Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Feng Cang could only reach out and pinch her nose. ¡°Why is it that every time in front of Qing Qing, I would get a clumsy tongue? Could it be that Qing Qing was sent by the heaven too restrain me?¡±
¡°You¡¯re right! Before I came, god told me that my mission in this life is to let you surrender and save the girls from water and fire. By then, I won¡¯t need to go to hell. Now, I gave up my everything and went into your prison in order to let you surrender.¡±
It was rare for Murong Qi Qi to say so many sweet words. It made Feng Cang like her even more. Though they got along before, Murong Qi Qi was always too reserved and somewhat wasn¡¯t able to let herself go. Ever since they began to live and sleep together, the defense of this little woman copsed bit by bit. This was good news!
¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re too right!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s lips went to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear and gently whispered in her ear. The hoarse manly voice full of temptation with a light heat surrounded Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. It teased her hearing and the sense of touch around her ear.
¡°Since your mission is like this, why don¡¯t I help you to the end? Tonight, you can let me surrender!¡±
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turnpletely red. She wasn¡¯t a two or three years old child and also passed the ignorant period. She could feel the piece of hotness pasted against her body every night.
This man abided to his promise and waited for her to open her mouth. He waited for her to give herself to him. So, even if he was stirring, but he suppressed his feelings of wanting her. He just hugged her and never stepped over the line.
Now, he said it in the open making Murong Qi Qi a bit shy. Not a whileter, in her eyes was a cloud of fire.
¡°What do you think, Qing Qing...?¡±
Suddenly, Feng Cang had the mind to throw himself on Murong Qi Qi. Those ill-intentioned eyes deeply irritated him and made him unable to be the gentleman, unable to wait any longer; making him wish he could return to the wangfu now, press her on the bed and make her whole body full of his marks. So, those stinky men wouldn¡¯t put their thoughts on his Qing Qing again.
¡°Good!¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded her head shyly. Her words made Feng Cang stunned for half a day.
What did he hear? His little woman actually said ¡®good¡¯? He didn¡¯t hear wrong, right?! Feng Cang was stunned. His eyes looked with disbelief at Murong Qi Qi. He thought Murong Qi Qi would be like usual and say no shyly. He didn¡¯t expect that she would suddenly say good. It wasn¡¯t that he had heard wrong, right?
¡°Qing Qing, did you understand my meaning?¡± Feng Cang licked his dry lips, ¡°The surrender I talked about, do you know what that meant?¡± His surrender was not the ¡®deliver all living creature from suffering¡¯ from the Buddha teachings. What he wanted was to cross her river...
¡°Annoying!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s questions made Murong Qi Qi turn her face to not look at that devilishly beautiful face and let herself be tempted by this man.
It wasn¡¯t easy for her to summon the courage to agree. This man still foolishly asked if she understood the meaning of his words. Could it be that she looked like a white rabbit who didn¡¯t know anything about the world? Or, was he forcing her to say those words which will let people blush?
¡°Qing Qing, say, ah. Say what your meaning is!¡±
Murong Qi Qipletely made all the itchiness of Feng Cang¡¯s hearte. He was like a child and wrapped himself around Murong Qi Qi. He had to hear exactly what she meant. He wasn¡¯t sure if Murong Qi Qi had truly agreed. Was it really so simple and so easy? It was so simple that he began to doubt his hearing!
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang gently shook Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sleeves. How pitiful his expression could be, was how pitiful it was. Especially since that devilishly beautiful pair of eyes was full of whining. This sweet honey wrapped around Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart.
¡°Qing Qing...¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to finish, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s voice was heard, ¡°The person benwang fancy is princess Zhen Guo and not princess Bao Zhu.¡±
Even if Feng Cang still wanted to be sweet with Murong Qi Qi, but after hearing the words ¡®princess Zhen Guo¡¯, he also stopped. It turned out that when this couple was flirting, Wanyan Lie proposed to let Wanyan Bao Zhu marry Longze Jing Tian. He didn¡¯t expect to be refused by Longze Jing Tian on the spot.
¡°Benwang objects!¡± Without being able to take much into consideration, Feng Cang stood up and interrupted Longze Jing Tian. ¡°Benwang doesn¡¯t agree!¡±
For a time, the atmosphere was pushed to the highest level. Nan Lin wang going against Jing wang was all for princess Zhen Guo. What meaning was there inside this? Everyone was fathoming in their hearts.
Now, in everyone¡¯s heart, Murong Qi Qi was in an awkward position. Both men were dragons among humans. They both fought for her and both had some rtion with her.
One was Longze Jing Tian who had a marriage arrangement with her and also the one who wrote the ¡®breaking off engagement letter¡¯. The other was Feng Cang who¡¯d married her and ended up with the identity of siblings. Speaking of this, both were closely rted to Murong Qi Qi. Now, the two were fighting. There would be a good y to watch!
¡°Nan Lin wang, benwang loves your little sister from the bottom of my heart...¡± While saying ¡®little sister¡¯, Longze Jing Tian deliberately highlighted the two words as if reminding Feng Cang that Murong Qi Qi was his little sister, that he shouldn¡¯t continue to dream and it¡¯s better to let her marry him (LJT)!
¡°Exactly because Qi Qi is benwang¡¯s little sister. That¡¯s why this brother-inw should be able to enter benwang¡¯s eyes!¡±
Feng Cang simply didn¡¯t buy Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. What little sister? That is just a floating cloud! Murong Qi Qi is his woman. He won¡¯t let go. Now, in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Longze Jing Tian, this stinky fly, was more and more displeasing to the eyes.
Feng Cang¡¯s overbearing manner was outside of Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expectations. Originally, he thought that Feng Cang would avoid the talk about their ¡®sibling¡¯s love¡¯ like a taboo. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would be bold and self-confident.
¡°Benwang is asking marriage from your country¡¯s emperor. Benwang fears that you have no say in princess Zhen Guo¡¯s marriage.¡±
Longze Jing directly put out Wanyan Lie. He was convinced that here, there was no one more suitable for Murong Qi Qi than him. That was why he was so confident. After all, Wanyan Lie was an emperor. As long as he opened his mouth, even if Feng Cang disagreed, he (FC) wouldn¡¯t be able to revolt!
However, it seemed that Wanyan Lie also didn¡¯t buy Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. He directly said, ¡°Zhen has long promised princess Zhen Guo that she could decide on her marriage.¡±
Now, Murong Qi Qi was happy. This Wanyan Lie was really interesting. Why did she never hear about that? Now, Wanyan Lie said it like that; besides, it was in front of the officials. Could this be considered the golden mouth spoke jaded words and that this was a decree to her?
¡°Thanking uncle!¡± This ¡®uncle¡¯ came from the bottom of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. As long as there¡¯s this decree; if there¡¯s someone who wanted to forcefully marry her, she could kill him on the spot. This was the same as giving her a protective talisman!
This sweet ¡®uncle¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi made Wanyan Lie¡¯s mood very good. Because of this decree, sheughed from the bottom of her heart. This made Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart go soft. He gave her this decree, hoping that she and Feng Cang would make good use of it! He knew that kind of unrequited love very well. So, he didn¡¯t want the younger generation to also experience it.
When did the emperor promise Murong Qi Qi this? Li Bing and crown prince Wanyan Hong exchanged a nce. They¡¯ve never heard about this thing. Could it be a decree given in private? If it was like that, Murong Qi Qi could decide on her marriage. The goal they wanted to achieve, could only be achieved through Murong Qi Qi.
At the same time, Lin Ke Xin looked once at second son Wanyan Yi. Seeing that her son¡¯s expression was calm, Lin Ke Xin was very satisfied. Remaining calm in the face of events is the style of an emperor! No matter what, she must help Wanyan Yi get Murong Qi Qi!
Wanyan Lie¡¯s words were undoubtedly the same as rejecting Longze Jing Tian. It was just, he wasn¡¯t willing to ept it. He looked at Murong Qi Qi again, ¡°Princess Zhen Guo, benwang has long admired you and wants to take you as my wife!¡±
Seeing that Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t want to give up, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s smiling face immediately disappeared, ¡°Jing wang, I don¡¯t love you. I will only marry the man I love and will only give birth to children from the man I love.¡±
¡°We can cultivate our feelings! I will wait!¡±
Longze hurriedly said that and his eyes became eager. I beg you, don¡¯t reject me. I was wrong before! I beg you, give me one more chance! Longze Jing Tian prayed in his heart. He wished that he could hear the three words ¡®I am willing¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Sorry! I don¡¯t love you! Now, I don¡¯t; in the future, I also won¡¯t. Never will I love you.¡±
One ¡®never will I love you¡¯ killed Longze Jing Tian¡¯s thoughts. In just a moment, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expression was like the dead. The original handsome face became full of injuries because of this.
¡°I know that you resent me; resent me for turning the rights and wrongs of the matter and wrote the ¡®breaking off engagement letter¡¯ to you! I was wrong! I really regret it...¡±
Murong Qi Qi frowned at Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. It wasn¡¯t because of this reason that she¡¯d rejected Longze Jing Tian. The other party¡¯s behavior was like harrasment to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I think you¡¯ve got it wrong. I¡¯ve never have loved you. Without love, how could there be hate?! Jing wang, you think too highly of yourself!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Feng Cang almost pick her up and cheer. Why did this little woman be more pleasing to the eyes, the more he looked?
¡°Well said!¡± Wanyan Kang cheered for Murong Qi Qi. He had long found Longze Jing Tian displeasing to the eyes. He¡¯d actually pushed cousin brother to a corner. He truly didn¡¯t want to live anymore! Why didn¡¯t he look at his appearance? Does he think that he¡¯s worthy of cousin-inw?!

Chapter 130 Setting Jue Se Fang on fire (2)
Wanyan Kang¡¯s support made Murong Qi Qi give him a big smile. And their ¡®interaction¡¯ fell into Lin Ke Xin¡¯s eyes, making her hate this younger son even more.
Sure enough, he had a rtion with Murong Qi Qi. Now, the emperor had given the right of marriage to Murong Qi Qi. If by chance, she chose Wanyan Kang, then what should she do?! Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t notice, but her eyes, as she looked at Wanyan Kang, had some hate in them now.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s phrase ¡®without love, how could there be hate¡¯pletely destroyed thest hope in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart. Her heart had never moved for him; never... As if his soul had been pulled from his body, Longze Jing Tian had gone soft. He was escorted back to his seat by Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji.
¡°Haha...,¡± Wanyan Lie stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®braveness¡¯ made Wanyan Lie like this niece even more! If in the past, Ming Yue could be like her, even if he had to offer his life in sacrifice, he would have been willing to do so!
Longze Jing Tian acting like this, made Wanyan Bao Zhu the saddest person.
After being refused by Longze Jing Tian so publicly, she should have felt ashamed. However, Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t hate Longze Jing Tian. She loved this man and couldn¡¯t afford to hate him. Now, the only person Wanyan Bao Zhu resented was Murong Qi Qi. All was because of Murong Qi Qi. That¡¯s why Longze Jing Tian had been humiliated. That¡¯s why she had been rejected by Longze Jing Tian!
Although in her heart, she wished that she could eat Murong Qi Qi, but now Wanyan Bao Zhu had learned how to behave. She didn¡¯t reveal any emotions on her face. There was no sadness nor frustration seen on her face because of being rejected by Longze Jing Tian. Instead, she maintained the gentleness an imperial princess should have.
¡°Don¡¯t know what little cousin sister Qi Qi has prepared to give imperial grandmother!¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words hooked the hearts of the people who¡¯d wanted to look at a joke, and made them switch their focus back to the main matter.
Seeing that Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s expression remained calm, Murong Qi Qi sneered. Didn¡¯t see her for three days, she (WBZ) let her (MQQ) gain a new perspective on her. Murong Xin Lian had be a lot more mature after bing Wanyan Bao Zhu and didn¡¯t act without a brain like before.
¡°Qi Qi already gave aijia1 her gift!¡± Dongfang Lan smiled while showing everyone the jewelries on her body, ¡°Qi Qi is really a filial child. She specifically let Guanghua gongzi2 design this ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯ for aijia. Aijia likes it very much!¡±
Just now, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Murong Qi Qi. They hadn¡¯t paid any attention to Dongfang Lan¡¯s jewelries. Now that the empress dowager had mentioned it and they¡¯d also heard ¡®Guanghua gongzi¡¯; all eyes were now focused on Dongfang Lan¡¯s body.
Guanghua gongzi¡¯s Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were world famous ces. The jewelries were rare there. Plus the fact that Guanghua gongzi¡¯s character was strange, he would only design one of a kind jewelry. He would never design the same thing twice. So, all the jewelries Tong Bao Zhai sold were unique in this world.
Now, Murong Qi Qi had actually invited Guanghua gongzi to design a ¡®Red Phoenix Facing the Sun¡¯ for Dongfang Lan alone, how much face was that? How much money did that need, ah?!
The women¡¯s eyes stared like hungry wolves at the hairpins in Dongfang Lan¡¯s hair, the earrings in her ears and the bracelets on her wrists. Their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hate. Without at least eight to ten thousand golden teals, you wouldn¡¯t be able to get this set!
Although they were already old, but they still had the heart which loved beauty.
Dongfang Lan could read the envy from the eyes of those women. Her mood also got a lot better. It¡¯s still granddaughter who was filial and knew what women liked. Even if she was an old woman, she still couldn¡¯t put down those jewelries.
¡°Before, when little cousin sister Qi Qi had married, Guanghua gongzi seemed to have bet greatly on little cousin sister. This time, little cousin sister invited Guanghua gongzi to design jewelries specifically for imperial grandmother; it seemed that you¡¯re very familiar with each other, ah!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t believe Murong Qi Qi. Who was she? She actually could invite Guanghua gongzi. She must be bragging! This jewelry was certainly bought by Feng Cang to let Murong Qi Qi get face!
¡°Guanghua gongzi is a good friend of mine.¡± While saying this, Murong Qi Qi obviously felt Feng Cang¡¯s hand that was holding hers, tighten a bit. It was just, she didn¡¯t think much of it. She also didn¡¯t know that Feng Cang had eaten a lot of vinegar these past few days because of her and Guanghua gongzi¡¯s gossips.
¡°Since little cousin sister and Guanghua gongzi are good friends, why don¡¯t you invite him toe give referrals to us?¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t have time.¡±
¡°Oh? He doesn¡¯t have time or is it that little cousin sister simply doesn¡¯t know Guanghua gongzi and cannot invite him?¡±
A pig¡¯s head is still a pig¡¯s head...Looking at Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s proud face, Murong Qi Qi sighed. Originally, she thought that after experiencing death once, this woman would get smarter. Just now, she had been praising Wanyan Bao Zhu. She didn¡¯t expect that she (WBZ) couldn¡¯t stand being praised so much.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer Wanyan Bao Zhu. Having a conversation with a pig waspletely detrimental to her IQ.
Originally, Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to let Murong Qi Qi unable to extricate herself gracefully. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would simply ignore her. Now, it became her who stood there awkwardly.
¡°Imperial grandmother, today is your birthday. Bao Zhu will present a song for you to liven things up!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu was clever once. She used talent to resolve this embarrassment. After Dongfang Lan nodded, someone immediately brought out a zither. Wanyan Bao Zhu sat in front of the zither and yed the song .
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s zither sound was very beautiful. People couldn¡¯t help but close their eyes and immerse themselves in the music. When Wanyan Lie looked at his daughter, there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes.
When did Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s zither skills be so superb? Wanyan Lie knew his own daughter¡¯s personality. Since she was young, Wanyan Bao Zhu was not someone who¡¯s well-behaved. Even when practicing zither, she would only practice half-heartedly. However, now the zither skills she was showing would need at least seven to eight years of practice.
Murong Qi Qi identally saw the look in Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes. It seemed that this emperor had begun to suspect his princess. How should she borrow someone else¡¯s hand to expose Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s true face? It would be the best if she could kill two birds with one sword. Otherwise, it would be a wasted opportunity.
Murong Qi Qi was thinking of how to let Wanyan Bao Zhu reveal her original form and Feng Cang¡¯s mood had turned very bad.
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words let Guanghua gongzi, this thorn, appear in Feng Cang¡¯s heart once again. Especially after knowing that Murong Qi Qi had specially invited Guanghua gongzi to design that set of jewelries. Thinking about the fact that they had contacted each other in private, Feng Cang was very unhappy.
He¡¯d already guarded so strictly, so how did that Guanghua gongzi get in contact with Murong Qi Qi? Could it be that they had their own way of contacting? Or was it that for a certain time, Murong Qi Qi went out in secret to meet him?
The thought of Murong Qi Qi showing her beauty to another man, made Feng Cang¡¯s heart feel ufortable. His eyes also couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction outside the pce as if to prate through the thick walls to see Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang and whether or not Nn Xin had sessfully finished the matter.
Now, his intention of killing Guanghua gongzi intensified. Anyway, regardless of the consequences, he would fight with Guanghua gongzi first the moment he appears and then they could talk! Now was not the time to be a gentleman. He¡¯s almost losing his woman, what did he need face for?! At worst, he could let the eagle troop annihte Guanghua gongzi! He didn¡¯t believe that Guanghua gongzi could fly away during the tactics between fleshes!
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s slender fingers circled once on the zither¡¯s strings and ended the whole song satisfactorily. Had to say, although this woman¡¯s personality was bad, but she¡¯d still worked hard on her zither skills.
¡°Good, good!¡± Although Wanyan Lie was suspicious of Wanyan Bao Zhu, but he hadn¡¯t figured this out yet. So, he still maintained the attitude of a good father and rewarded Wanyan Bao Zhu with a pair of jade carved lions. They were the size of a palm and transparent white. With one look, you would know that they were extremely valuable treasures.
¡°This subject daughter thanks emperor father!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s reward let Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s vignce fall down. She had forgotten that her disy of zither skills would bring her a killing cmity.
Seeing the smile on Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qi felt sad for this pig like woman. Didn¡¯t you see that the emperor was deliberately holding you highly to let you rx and unmask your true nature?!
Wanyan Bao Zhu wasn¡¯t aware of it and Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t tell her. This woman was like a tenaciously strong person. Since Wanyan Lie had be suspicious of her, why doesn¡¯t she (MQQ) borrow someone else¡¯s sword to kill?! Wanyan Bao Zhu had provoked her again and again. She (WBZ) truly saw her (MQQ) as someone soft who she (WBZ) could easily pinch!
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mind to turn to the end, Wanyan Bao Zhu once again pointed the gunpoint at her, ¡°Imperial grandmother, granddaughter heard that little cousin sister Qi Qi¡¯s zither skills were superb. Don¡¯t know if she¡¯s willing to y the zither for grandmother.¡±
My ass! Murong Qi Qi pulled her middle finger to Wanyan Bao Zhu under the table. This woman truly wants a mile after giving her an inch. Why was she (WBZ) always setting her eyes on her (MQQ)?! Could it be that they had an immense feud? Murong Qi Qi had forgotten that Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s mother Zheng Min had died indirectly at her hands.
¡°Oh? Qi Qi also knows how to y the zither?¡± The moment he heard this, Wanyan Lie was very happy. ¡°Your mother was a talent. Since you¡¯re Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, you shouldn¡¯t be bad!¡±
After Wanyan Lie said this, even if Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t willing, she couldn¡¯t brush Wanyan Lie¡¯s face. Murong Qi Qi was just about to get up when she heard noises from outside the hall.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wanyan Lie frowned. Jing De quickly trotted away. After a short while, he trotted back. ¡°Answering emperor, it was some pce maids who were talking that Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang are on fire...¡±
¡°What?!¡± Murong Qi Qi stood up with a look of surprise. Howe? Howe Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were on fire? How could this be?! With Fang Kui and Fang Tong there, how could something happen?!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude once again made it difficult to bear for Feng Cang. Is she now worried about Guanghua gongzi? What is the rtionship between them?
¡°It¡¯s only a shop that caught fire. What is the big fuss about?!¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression, but her heart was thinking about another thing. What was she pretending about? Pretending that she had a good rtion with Guanghua gongzi and pretending to care about him; was it to improve her own worth? Really shameless. Needs to rely on men for everything!
Wanyan Lie was also very surprised that something had happened to Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. Although Guanghua gongzi was someone from the jianghu,3 but he had a great reputation. The women of the harem also liked the jewelries from his shop very much. Now, hearing that the two ces were on fire, it was very surprising.
The most anxious ones on the scene were the uncountable concubines and consorts and also thosedies from dignified families. The moment they heard that something had happened to those two ces, the women got anxious. There was so many beautiful jewelry there, ah! There were also a lot of gorgeous dresses there, ah! Who did it? That person must definitely be jealous of Guanghua and that¡¯s why that person did such a despicable thing!
The talks of the women in the end spread to Wanyan Lie¡¯s ears.
Murong Qi Qi was anxious like ants in a wok!
The people in Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were killers of Moyu. Something happening to these two ces at the same time, could it be an enemy hade for revenge? Fang Kui and Fang Tong¡¯s abilities weren¡¯t bad. They actually let people set fire to the shop; the other party must be very powerful!
Now, Murong Qi Qi wished that she could fly out of the pce immediately and go look at how the people of Moyu are! Living together for five years, Murong Qi Qi had long taken Moyu as her own home. Now, there were difficulties at her home and she didn¡¯t know what happened to her brothers; how could she continue sit here indifferently?!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s anxiousness made Feng Cang¡¯s heart turn cold. Sure enough, she¡¯s still very concerned about Guanghua gongzi. So, the moment she had heard the news, she would be nervous like this. For a time, a breath seemed to choke in Feng Cang¡¯s chest. It couldn¡¯t go up and pressed very powerfully.
¡°Uncle, I want to go take a look at Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai!¡± Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t wait a moment longer. Those were her brothers. If they were truly killed by the enemy, what should they do?! No! She must go there as fast as possible and see what had happened!
Everyone thought that the emperor definitely wouldn¡¯t agree to Murong Qi Qi leaving the empress dowager¡¯s birthday banquet. Even if you¡¯re good friends with Guanghua gongzi, you didn¡¯t need to be worried like this!
However, that was only the men¡¯s thoughts. The women¡¯s hearts had already flown out of the pce. Now, they stood at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. They hoped that Murong Qi Qi could go and inquire what had happened. They hoped that those treasures and beautiful dresses were not all burned!
¡°Alright! Go!¡± When everyone thought that Wanyan Lie wouldn¡¯t agree, they didn¡¯t expect that he would suddenly nod. What let people be more surprised was that not only did Wanyan Lie agree to let Murong Qi Qi go, he also personally exined to Dongfang Lan, ¡°Empress mother, look, this Guanghua gongzi helped Qi Qi design a set of jewelry for you. Now a friend is in difficulties, why don¡¯t you let Qi Qi go take a look?!¡±
Dongfang Lan was not someone unreasonable. Granddaughter was already so anxious. Of course, she was not happy to see that. Besides, Guanghua gongzi¡¯s reputation wasn¡¯t bad and seeing that anxious expression on Murong Qi Qi, maybe they were not ordinary friends. A girl knowing some excellent guys was also good!
¡°Go! Pay attention to your safety! Let your brother follow lest you meet with danger!¡±
The two left hurriedly. The lively banquet also quietened because these two had left. The women were too worried about Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang and didn¡¯t have the mood to appreciate the song and dance anymore.
However, the banquet still had to continue. Besides, this was the empress dowager¡¯s banquet. So, in no time, there were music, songs and dancing. The scene turned lively again.
When Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang arrived at Jue Se Fang, the fire had already been controlled. Originally, it was a refined small three-story building. Now, it had be a ck ruin.
¡°Is there someone? Is there still people here?¡± Murong Qi Qi wanted to rush inside to see the situation, but she was stopped by Feng Cang. ¡°There might still be danger inside. Stay here, I¡¯ll go take a look!¡±
Feng Cang entered inside. Everywhere was burned. Looking at the neat way, it looked like Nn Xin had done a good thing. Feng Cang was overjoyed. Now, it¡¯s good! Nn Xin had certainly caught the people. By then, he could use those people to force Guanghua gongzi to appear and see if he could still hook onto Murong Qi Qi!
¡°How is it?¡± Murong Qi Qi immediately went to Feng Cang after he came out. ¡°Are there still some people alive?¡±
¡°There was no one inside. Maybe they had been saved or kidnapped...¡±
While talking, Feng Cang examined Murong Qi Qi. He wanted to see her expression. Sure enough, just thinking of the possibility of being ¡®kidnapped¡¯ as mentioned by Feng Cang, made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression turn ugly.
Who was it? To actually dare to break the ground over the overhead of god; to actually dare to touch her people! Really impatient to die!
When Murong Qi Qi personally went inside to inspect, her mood was bad to the extreme. It was like Feng Cang said; there were no corpses, no one had died. Like this, the people of Moyu may had long found out before the enemy hade and retreated or they had all been captured.
It was just, who had such ability? Murong Qi Qi believed that the people under her weren¡¯t ordinary. Even if it was a real enemy; even using real swords and guns, Moyu¡¯s people wouldn¡¯t be afraid! Besides, in this broad daylight, the other party wouldn¡¯t have also taken action openly. If the other party used underhanded ways, then who would be more underhanded than Moyu¡¯s people?!
On the way here, she had thought calmly for a long time. She couldn¡¯t figure out who this person was.
Wu Ji Gong? A group of small bandits. Even if they had Wanyan Hong¡¯s support behind them, they still couldn¡¯t be something. Other sects? That was also impossible. Moyu had always beening and going alone and wouldn¡¯t warm up or make enemies with people. Moyu didn¡¯t have enemies.
Murong Qi Qi even thought about the court. However, her identity was so secret. Wanyan Lie simply couldn¡¯t know it. Even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t ruin Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai without a reason. Who was it?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression was dark. The vinegar in Feng Cang¡¯s heart turned into a sea. If it wasn¡¯t because he needed to keep Murong Qi Qipany, he would have long gone to Nn Xin and would¡¯ve tortured those people to let them say who that damn Guanghua gongzi was!
Just burning his shops was too easy on him! This Guanghua gongzi appeared like a god and vanished like a devil. His entire Fo Sheng Men was mobilized and he still couldn¡¯t inquire any news about him. Now, he could only put his hope on the people Nn Xin caught!
He hoped that these people had enough value and could let Guanghua gongzi bite on the hook. Now, Feng Cang¡¯s intention of wanting to kill Guanghua gongzi was even more intense!
He absolutely wouldn¡¯t allow another person to be in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Even a hair of the other party couldn¡¯t enter! He wouldn¡¯t allow it!
Just as Murong Qi Qi was thinking about who the one behind the scene was, Su Yue appeared in front of them. She handed a note to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Tonight at haishi (9-11pm), see you at Lion Ridge.¡±
1. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
2. Gongzi: young master
3. Jianghu: world of martial arts
Chapter 131 So it’s you (1)
Chapter 131 So it¡¯s you (1)
Feng Cang nced at the words on the letter. With one look, he could see that it was written by Nn Xin. This guy was starting to be more and more vicious. He¡¯d actually burned down Guanghua gongzi¡¯s Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang. Truly putting extra effort into it! How could he not know how ck bellied Nn Xin was?! This truly let him be very happy!
Feng Cang¡¯s heart was blooming fromughter. He gave Nn Xin¡¯s actions a very high evaluation, but Murong Qi Qi clutched the note with a ck expression.
¡°Did you find the people?¡±
¡°When I arrived, the fire was very big. I didn¡¯t see anyone. Su Mei went to Tong Bao Zhai. I don¡¯t know how it¡¯s like over there.¡±
They had been just talking about Su Mei when she rushed over. ¡°Miss!¡± The note Su Mei handed to Murong Qi Qi was the same as the one Su Yue had given earlier. It said: ¡°Tonight at haishi (9-11pm), see you at Lion Ridge.¡±
Bastard! Murong Qi Qi clenched her fists. Who actually dared to pluck hair from a tiger¡¯s head and dared to touch her people!
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expression had a seriousness Feng Cang had never seen before. This woman was either gentle or charming, cute and helpless looking or pleasantly ignorant, but she¡¯d never looked like she did now, with a cold like ice face.
Also, Su Mei and Sue Yue, who were standing next to Murong Qi Qi, also had sullen faces. They seemed to be ustomed to such a Murong Qi Qi. Could this be Murong Qi Qi¡¯s true face?
¡°Wangye,1 I¡¯m sorry. Today, I can¡¯t keep youpany. I have something I need to deal with.¡±
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s heart twitched from pain, making him unable to breathe. She was actually worried like this because of the ident at Guanghua gongzi¡¯s 2 shops. In the end, she still cared about him...
Why, why when seeing Murong Qi Qi care so much for Guanghua gongzi, he would be so sad? Why, why was it when he saw the anxiousness and worry turn into coldness on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, he regretted letting Nn Xinmit those deeds?
If in the end, Murong Qi Qi got to know that it was him who¡¯d instructed people to burn down Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai, would she also treat him with such a cold face? If Murong Qi Qi knew that he¡¯d wanted to kill Guanghua gongzi to get her for himself, would she think that he¡¯s selfish and ruthless? Would she leave him?
The thought that Murong Qi Qi would leave him because of his own actions, made every breath Feng Cang took let him feelpletely cold. If he had listened to Nn Xin and made his thoughts clear to Murong Qi Qi, would the results have been better?
¡°Wangye, wait for my return!¡± Because she was worried about the safety of Moyu¡¯s people, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t notice Feng Cang¡¯s strange expression. Instead, she tiptoed and kissed Feng Cang¡¯s lips lightly. ¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang reached out and wanted to grab Murong Qi Qi. However, he just grabbed a gust of wind. When he came out of the daze, Murong Qi Qi, along with Su Mei and Su Yue, had already disappeared from sight.
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Remorse appeared in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. He wished that in this world, there was a medicine called regret to let him do everything all over again. Like that, he could directly tell Murong Qi Qi, I¡¯m Fo Sheng Men¡¯s leader Long Ao Tian. I know you¡¯re Moyu¡¯s Du Xian Er. Your matter with Guanghua gongzi made me eat a lot of vinegar. I nearly went crazy from jealousy. You¡¯re my woman. I want your heart to only have me!
It was just, the so called regret medicine was only Feng Cang¡¯s wishful thinking. Now, the only thing he could do was to catch up with Murong Qi Qi and exin everything to her.
When Feng Cang arrived at Lion Ridge, it was already night. He looked around once, but Feng Cang didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi and the others. When he entered the fortified hill vige, it was Nn Xin who received him.
¡°Did wangfei3e?¡± When he saw Nn Xin, Feng Cang directly asked about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s whereabouts.
¡°Wangfei didn¡¯te. What¡¯s the matter, wangye?¡±
¡°Where are those people from Moyu?¡±
¡°I only caught an old man...¡±
¡°Old man?¡± Feng Cang frowned, ¡°Take me there to see.¡±
Lion Ridge was originally a secret base of Feng Cang. Once, he had trained soldiers here. Later, it became deserted and no one remembered it anymore. This time, when he nned to kidnap Guanghua gongzi¡¯s people, Feng Cang thought about here. Here was no vige ahead and no inn behind and in barren hills. It was the most secure ce.
No vige ahead and no inn behind: be stranded in the middle of nowhere
When the prison door opened, Fang Tong raised his head. He saw a man with a silver mask walk in. Behind him was a ck masked person. Fang Tong knew him. It was this person whod captured him.
¡°Kill or cutting the flesh, do as you wish! Want me to betray gongzi? Dream on!¡±
Before, Nn Xin asked Fang Tong many things rted to Guanghua gongzi, but this old man repeatedly said, ¡°Definitely won¡¯t betray gongzi¡±. Nn Xin had no way to deal with him and could only wait for Feng Cang¡¯s orders.
Now, Feng Cang hade. Fang Tong began to show his position.
¡°Master, this old man is very stubborn!¡± Nn Xin whispered some words in Feng Cang¡¯s ear. How would he know that Fang Tong¡¯s ears were the best and had the nickname of ¡®preternaturally good hearing¡¯. Of course, he (FT) heard what he (NX) had said.
¡°Humph!¡± Fang Tong turned his head sideways and didn¡¯t look at Feng Cang. He raised his chin highly and didn¡¯t look at the two ¡®viins¡¯ in front of him.
¡°Let him go...,¡± Feng Cang said. When Fang Tong heard Feng Cang¡¯s voice, he was surprised. He turned to look at Feng Cang. His eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know that in this world, as long as Fang Tong had heard the voice, he would never forget it. Of course, he would remember Feng Cang¡¯s voice. It was just, he didn¡¯t understand why Feng Cang would kidnap him. He didn¡¯t know which nerve of this guye4 had gone wrong and that he would go against miss. Could it be that guye and miss had fallen out? Or was it that this guye had a secret behind miss¡¯s back?
Thinking till here, Fang Tong immediately raised his vignce. After all, one may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. If by chance guye wanted to conspire, then wouldn¡¯t miss be in danger? No, he needed to tell miss to let miss guard against guye! She shouldn¡¯t ruin her life for love!
Fang Tong¡¯s confused eyes instantly turned alert. His expression was expected in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. Fang Tong didn¡¯t believe that Feng Cang would let him go. So, he was confused and believed that Feng Cang wanted to conspire something. So, he raised his vignce. This person was smart.
¡°Go back and tell your master not to have any thoughts about my woman. This time, it¡¯s only a small reminder. Next time, I will personally kill him!¡±
Nn Xin went forward to open the shackles on Fang Tong¡¯s hands and feet, ¡°Go! My master said to let you stay alive. Quickly leave!¡±
Nn Xin didn¡¯t know why Feng Cang had such a big change. However, he was sure about one thing. The reason why master¡¯s mood had changed must be rted to Murong Qi Qi. In this world, only that woman could let master be messed up.
Feng Cang¡¯s words had another meaning in Fang Tong¡¯s ears.
¡®His woman¡¯ wasn¡¯t miss? Why does he want miss not to touch ¡®his woman¡¯?
Could...it be that this guye had another girl? Could it be that miss knew that Feng Cang had another woman and that was why they¡¯d fought and made Feng Cang angry? That was why he¡¯d vented on them (the people of Moyu)? This man is too despicable! He actually treated their Moyu¡¯s treasure like this!
¡°Humph!¡± Fang Tong stood up, rubbed his wrists and moved his ankles. He looked coldly at Feng Cang as if he was saying; don¡¯t think that if you wear a mask, I wouldn¡¯t recognize you. Even if you turn into ashes, I can still tell it¡¯s you! You actually dared to fail our miss, Feng Cang, you have the guts! Let¡¯s wait and see!
Fang Tong¡¯s gaze let Nn Xin admire this old man.
Since being kidnapped till now, this old man didn¡¯t eat or drink nor did he say anything. He had just maintained a cold face. No matter how he (NX) intimidated or threatened him, the other party was like a dead pig that didn¡¯t fear scalding water. Now, this old man had actually humphed once at their wangye? And looked face to face at the cold face of wangye and didn¡¯t lose, really bold, ah!
¡°Don¡¯t worry! No matter if it¡¯s you or your woman, our master wouldn¡¯t take a fancy to either! You better take your woman and stay far away and don¡¯t appear in front of our master. Otherwise, even if master remembered the old affection, we wouldn¡¯t leave the matter at that!¡±
Fang Tong knew that he couldn¡¯t beat Nn Xin. If he could beat him, he wouldn¡¯t have been kidnapped and brought here. It was just, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face was bigger than his life. Even if he was killed by Feng Cang now, he wouldn¡¯t let Feng Cang trample their Moyu¡¯s princess like this! Anyway, it¡¯s just a life. His, Fang Tong¡¯s life had long been sold to Murong Qi Qi!
¡°Cough, cough...,¡± Nn Xinpletely admired this old man. With a look of an unscrupulous businessman, why was his temper so dead set?! Not only did he look face to face with Feng Cang¡¯s cold eyes, he also said those words to irritate his (NX) master. Could this old man¡¯s neck be made from steel? Not afraid of it being cut?
¡°Naturally, I will hold onto my woman! Let¡¯s leave...¡±
Feng Cang left with Nn Xin. When he departed, he didn¡¯t lock the prisoner¡¯s door. Looking at the open prison door, Fang Tong understood that Feng Cang was truly letting him go.
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t you intend to use that old man as bait anymore?¡±
¡°No need...,¡± Feng Cang shook his head. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s degree of care for Guanghua gongzi let him be envious, jealous and filled with hate. Although he really wanted to guard a tree-stump, waiting for the rabbit and kill Guanghua gongzi, but he didn¡¯t want to see Murong Qi Qi sad. He also didn¡¯t want to see her beautiful eyes cry for another man!
Feng Cang just went out of the dungeon when someone came to inform him, ¡°Master, outside the vige, a gongzi in red want us to release his people!¡±
¡°Guanghua gongzi?¡± Feng Cang and Nn Xin spoke at the same time. Rumor had it that Guanghua gongzi liked red clothes the most. So, this man in red must be him.
¡°He came so quickly...¡±
The reason Feng Cang let Fang Tong pass words over was because he originally didn¡¯t intend to meet Guanghua gongzi. He was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to control his emotions, and would use a heavy hand to kill Guanghua gongzi. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the other party would stille. Besides, he arrived so quickly. It seemed that fate wanted them to fight against each other!
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
When Feng Cang arrived at the open space in front of the vige, a dozen men in ck were lying on the ground. All were his underlings.
¡°Pain...,¡± These people held their arms and legs. Some clutched their belly, some clutched their head. All were rolling and churning in pain on the ground. It was evident that they¡¯d suffered loss at Guanghua gongzi¡¯s hands.
¡°Master!¡± When the people on the ground saw Feng Cange out, they acted as if they¡¯d seen their savior. One by one, they cried, ¡°Master, this underling is ipetent and couldn¡¯t stop him!¡±
¡°You all retreat...¡±
Feng Cang knew the ability of his underlings. Now, they had been knocked to the ground and in such a sorry state, it seemed that this Guanghua gongzi had some ability. However, talking about it, if he didn¡¯t have the ability, how could he let Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai became the most profitable shops in this maind. Without ability, how would he be able to attract Murong Qi Qi...
¡°I came, where are my people?¡± Seeing the man in white clothes with a silver mask, the first thing Murong Qi Qi asked about was Moyu¡¯s people.
When Murong Qi Qi was examining Feng Cang, Feng Cang was also studying her.
This Guanghua gongzi was not tall and was a bit slim. He wore red like fire clothes. His hair was in a bundle on his head. On his face, he wore a white porcin mask which was smooth as jade. On the white mask were flirtatious facial features painted. Long and narrow phoenix eyes. Brightly red lips. Eyebrows were like a red me. The ce where the eyes should be was exposed by two gaps. It looked like a cat.
Being blocked by this porcin mask, Feng Cangpletely couldn¡¯t see the other¡¯s appearance. However, in his heart, he already gave Murong Qi Qi an evaluation through the mask. This man was not burly and also liked such a feminine mask. It seemed, he was a pervert! He definitely won¡¯t hand Murong Qi Qi over to Guanghua gongzi!
Although he had let go of Fang Tong, but after seeing Guanghua gongzi wound his underlings, Feng Cang¡¯s temper also came, ¡°The people are in my hands. If you want to take them away, that depends on whether you have the ability.¡±
The other party¡¯s provocation made Murong Qi Qi feel angry. She hadn¡¯t seen such a righteous and self-confident person. Really too shameless. At this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cursed the ancestors till the eighteenth generation of the man in white clothes and silver mask opposite of her.
When she was on her way here, Murong Qi Qi let Su Mei and Su Yue go find out the reason. She hade here single-handedly. She¡¯d have to see who in this jianghu5 had such big guts to touch her, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s people.
Now, after seeing the man with white clothes and silver mask acting so arrogant, Murong Qi Qi got angrier. It seemed that without a fierce battle, there was no other way to end this matter.
¡®Shhh...¡¯ Murong Qi Qi reached out. On her hand appeared a golden silk. On the silk was one small golden bell. ¡°Since you say that, then don¡¯t me me for being merciless!¡±
¡°Thank you for being merciless!¡± Beneath the silver mask, Feng Cang¡¯s lips bloomed into a devilish beautiful flower. In his hand appeared a dagger. What let Murong Qi Qi be surprised is that the way the silver faced man held the dagger was not the ordinary way, but it was the backhand holding the handle.
An expert! Murong Qi Qi sneered.
¡°Master..,¡± After Nn Xin saw the shamelessness of Guanghua gongzi, he couldn¡¯t help but remind Feng Cang. The weapon in this man in red¡¯s hand was too feminine. There had never been someone in the jianghu who used bells as weapon.
¡®Ding ling ling...¡¯ Murong Qi Qi¡¯s left hand hooked on the golden thread. Following the wind, the silver bell made ¡®ding ling¡¯ sounds. Not waiting for Nn Xin to finish speaking, Murong Qi Qi jumped in the sky. She flew in the sky and stepped on a thin wood towards Feng Cang.
Had to say, Guanghua gongzi was a delicate person. His gestures expressed beauty. Even if the coldness on his body was strong, but this coldness wasn¡¯t damaged by his cold proudness.
Feng Cang stood there and didn¡¯t move. He was like a snow mountain; didn¡¯t panic and didn¡¯t waver. The right hand with which he held the dagger was hanging. The wind blew. Feng Cang¡¯s hair fluttered, looking like an immortal who¡¯d had fallen into the mortal realm.
¡°Humph!¡±
The closer she got to the silver faced man; the sneer on Murong Qi Qi became more intense. When she was about to reach the other party, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feet was on the wood. Her body leveraged in the sky. The wood flew with elerated speed towards Feng Cang.
¡®Shua!¡¯ Just when the wood was about to reach Feng Cang, Feng Cang suddenly raised the dagger. With one cut, he split the wood in two. His body also flew to the sky with a shout and dueled with Murong Qi Qi in the air.
¡®Ding ling ling...¡± Hearing the bells, the golden bells appeared at Feng Cang¡¯s left side. When Feng Cang wanted to split the golden thread with the dagger, he discovered that this golden thread was simply too fortified. Even though in his hand was a hundred year old treasured dagger, but he couldn¡¯t do anything to this golden thread.
¡°Insignificant skill!¡±
Just when Feng Cang backed away, on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s left hand also appeared a golden thread. Like a fine light, it split the air and went straight at Feng Cang.
Very vicious moves! Feng Cang dodged. A white wind passed. The golden thread didn¡¯t touch him a bit. It was just, when this golden thread came over; Feng Cang clearly heard the sound of air being cut by this golden thread. This Guanghua gongzi was truly not someone ordinary. His martial arts were actually so amazing.
However, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t give the man in white clothes with a silver mask a chance to breathe. He¡¯d touched her people. She was unhappy. The other party also was in white. Did he have nothing to do and needed to learn from Feng Cang so he could pretend to be elegant? She was unhappy! From Murong Qi Qi¡¯s point of view, in this world aside from Feng Cang, who when wearing white would give people the feeling of being refined, others were just unworthy to wear white.
Originally, she already had hatred with the man in white with a silver mask. Now, Murong Qi Qi hated him even more.
¡®Ding ling ling!¡¯ The bell sounded. Murong Qi Qi attacked with the left and right hands at the same time. Those two golden threads were like two golden lights splitting the dark night and went straight at Feng Cang. The two figures in red and white, like two rainbows, were interlocked in the sky.
¡®Boom!¡¯ the golden threads fell on the ground and made a neither big nor small hole.
So fierce! Nn Xin couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. Just thin threads, but he was able to operate to such a point. This Guanghua gongzi really was someone extraordinary. It seemed that this time, wangye has encountered a considerable opponent!
Guanghua gongzi¡¯s moves made Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but think of Murong Qi Qi. The way that girl had used a red muslin to hurt people was the same like Guanghua gongzi. The difference was that Murong Qi Qi used a red muslin and Guanghua gongzi used golden threads which was one level higher.
Could it be that Murong Qi Qi had learned that from Guanghua gongzi? Looking at Guanghua gongzi waving the golden thread, in front of Feng Cang¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but appear the image of the other party teaching Murong Qi Qi, hand in hand. His heart got angrier.
¡°Master, be careful!¡±
It was saidte, but it was an early enough warning. Just when the golden thread was about to hit that silver mask on Feng Cang¡¯s face, Feng Cang shouted once. A thinyer of white light appeared around his body and shocked the golden thread, making it rebound back.
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Gongzi: young master
3. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
4. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
5. Jianghu: world of martial arts
Chapter 132 So it’s you (2)
Chapter 132 So it¡¯s you (2)
¡®Shh...¡¯ Murong Qi Qi retrieved the golden threads and looked at the man whose whole body was covered in a white light. Humph, no wonder this person was so proud. He had such an ability! His inner energy was already at the white level eight. This person couldn¡¯t be overlooked. It seemed that it had been a very long time since there was someone with the white level eight inner energy who¡¯d appeared in this maind. Who was this person?
This time, it was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s turn to stand there without moving. Before, she made the moves just to test the bottom line of the man in white with the silver mask. Now that she¡¯d discovered the ability of the other party, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t move again. She only stood quietly neither far nor near, just ten meters opposite Feng Cang in the night.
A duel between experts; the one who makes the first move, would be the one who loses. Feng Cang understood this. Murong Qi Qi also understood this.
At this time, two powerful airs surrounded the two people and formed a shallow whirlpool. Those people in ck who had been originally thrown to the ground by Murong Qi Qi stood up and left the scene. They clearly knew that if at this time, they appeared around these two people, they would be ashes.
Through the white porcin mask, Murong Qi Qi looked coldly at the man with the silver mask. She wanted to solve the confusion in her heart. ¡°I want to ask you one thing. Why did you touch my people and burned down my Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang?! I have neither animosity nor hatred with you. Since it¡¯s like this, there must be a reason. I want to know that reason.¡±
The moment he heard Murong Qi Qi say Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai had been burned, Nn Xin was startled. He didn¡¯t let people do such a thing. He only let people kidnap the people and didn¡¯t let them do those overboard things. Even though he¡¯d captured Fang Tong, he didn¡¯t torture him for information. He used a civilized and peaceful way. What was Murong Qi Qi talking about?
¡°You shouldn¡¯t have been tempted by my woman!¡± Hearing Guanghua gongzi 1 ask, Feng Cang also no longer hid it and said the reason.
The cold faint words of the other party almost let Murong Qi Qi spurt out blood. Her orientation as a woman had always been very normal. She loves men. She loves Feng Cang. When did the person she loved turn into a woman?
¡°There must be some misunderstanding here.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no misunderstanding! My woman has been silently concerned about you. Everyone knows about you and her matter. You still say there isn¡¯t?¡±
Everyone from the jianghu2 said that Guanghua gongzi and Du Xian Er were a pair of immortals. Everyone knew about this, yet Guanghua gongzi had actually denied it. He really didn¡¯t shoulder the responsibility! Feng Cang looked down upon the man in red even more. He (FC) thought he (GH) was a coward.
If Guanghua gongzi had admitted that he loved Murong Qi Qi, that he liked Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang would¡¯ve admired him and would think he had good taste. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would deny it directly. Wasn¡¯t this failing the affection Murong Qi Qi had for him?!
¡°Uh...¡±
Murong Qi Qi feltpletely wronged.
It was undeniable that whenever she appeared as Guanghua gongzi, she was indeed very popr among women and got the favor of women. However, she was a normal woman and didn¡¯t have a special liking and also didn¡¯t have an alternative orientation. She never had a close contact with any woman. The man in white with a silver mask¡¯s words were extremely absurd and ridiculous in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears.
¡°I say, did you make a mistake? I admit I am tall, rich and handsome, have money and am charming, but I am not a casual person. If it¡¯s your woman¡¯s wishful thinking, then you couldn¡¯t treat me as a firecracker because of her unrequited love!¡±
Tall, rich and handsome: Mr. Perfect. In China, the perfect husband material should be tall, rich and handsome. The importance is also in that order. A husband needs to be tall first.
Tall, rich and handsome...After this was said, Nn Xin couldn¡¯t help but cough twice. Guanghua gongzi was indeed very rich. As for the appearance, rumor had it that he was godlike. So, that shouldn¡¯t be bad. As for the height, ording to Guanghua gongzi¡¯s small body, this word seemed inappropriate.
Guanghua gongzi using ¡®wishful thinking¡¯ to describe Murong Qi Qi made Feng Cang explodepletely. His woman, the treasure he cares about, the flesh of his heart, in the other party¡¯s eyes, turned out to be so disdainful!
Thinking about how anxious Murong Qi Qi was after knowing something had happened to Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang, Feng Cang felt that he (GH) was not worthy of Murong Qi Qi. She was so concerned for Guanghua gongzi, but the other party used ¡®unrequited love¡¯ to send her away. Really enough is enough!
¡°Humph!¡± The figure in white flew like a sword towards Murong Qi Qi. The killing intent in the ck eyes behind the silver mask was very strong.
Just now, Feng Cang had regretted ruining Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai, making Murong Qi Qi sad; but now, after seeing this ¡®bastard¡¯ in red, all the guilt had disappeared. This man deserved a good spanking. He (GH) actually insulted his (FC) treasure. He deserves to be killed!
¡°Haha...¡± Murong Qi Qi returned two sneers to the other party. If you want to condemn someone, then don¡¯t worry about the pretext! Casually find a shabby reason to ruin her efforts and kidnap her people. Could it be that he thinks she¡¯s a dope and could be bullied by anybody?!
¡®Ding ling ling...¡¯ Feng Cang was in the sky; Murong Qi Qi stood on the ground. One in red, one in white. It was truly beautiful. The dagger in Feng Cang¡¯s hand stabbed mercilessly towards Murong Qi Qi¡¯s neck. But it hadn¡¯t reached her yet, when it was wrapped by the golden silk. With a sound of the bell, a purple smoke sprayed on Feng Cang¡¯s face.
Despicable! Feng Cang turned to escape the purple smoke. Guanghua gongzi had actually used poison! As the purple smoke fell on the ground, the stones melted instantly. Feng Cang hated the man in red in front of him even more. Guanghua gongzi¡¯s poison was definitely given to him by Murong Qi Qi. While he enjoyed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s benefits, he trampled Murong Qi Qi¡¯s feelings. This man is despicable!
Murong Qi Qi was also very surprised. That attack with the dagger of just now was with full power. If it wasn¡¯t because she had long prepared against it, even if going head-on, she would¡¯ve gotten injured. This man had the intention to kill? Because of an excuse which she was unable to make heads or tails of it? Really too shameless, really a bastard!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi was also toozy to say any more nonsense. The golden threads swayed; the golden bells rang and attacked Feng Cang.
For a time, the people watching were dazzled by the scene in front of them. The left and right hands of the man in red were extremely flexible. Five fingers hooked on the thread as though the fingers had given life to the threads; directing the golden threads to attack their master Feng Cang.
Now, Nn Xin also put the matter of burning Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai to the back of his head. He didn¡¯t have time to think about who the ck-handed master behind it was. His gaze focused on Feng Cang and Guanghua gongzi and watched them fight.
It had been a long time since he had seen his master fight. Today, this Guanghua gongzi and his master were quite evenly matched. Nn Xin was somewhat exited. The loneliness of a high-skilled person was a sad thing for Feng Cang. At least, Nn Xin thought that.
Although master¡¯s body was weak, but this didn¡¯t mean that he was weak. Otherwise, how could he take charge of the eagle troop at the age of fifteen, swept through the northern nomadic people and let Bei Zhou¡¯s army be the most powerful army in this maind?
However, Nn Xin looked for half a day and discovered that this Guanghua gongzi was also a rare young talent in this world. When he (NX) let himself go all the way, he could take twenty attacks of Feng Cang. However, this Guanghua gongzi actually fought more than a hundred rounds with wangye3 using only two soft silk threads. If it wasn¡¯t because he was not someone ordinary, how could he do it?!
Speaking of this, the woman was to me. Two outstanding men fought for an outstanding woman. Naturally, there would be contradiction between them. It was just; he didn¡¯t know who would win. He¡¯d rather Feng Cang wins, but looking at the situation now, it¡¯s possible that they would have a draw.
In the air, the red and white figure intertwined. While exchanging blows with Guanghua gongzi, Feng Cang suddenly smelled a familiar green apple fragrance. It was just, why would this fragrance appear on Guanghua gongzi¡¯s body? Could it be that their rtionship already went so well?
Thinking about the little woman that he kissed may have been embraced by this despicable man in front of him, the strength in his hand intensified ten times.
Shameless bastard! Obviously, it was he who was unreasonable and yet, he was still so aggressive!
Sensing Feng Cang¡¯s outbreak, Murong Qi Qi was also not polite. A ck dagger appeared in her hand and cut off Feng Cang¡¯s sleeve. The dagger went close to Feng Cang¡¯s skin and stabbed towards his wrist.
¡°Humph! A big man who is like a woman.¡± Guanghua gongzi was fast, Feng Cang was faster. He grabbed Guanghua gongzi¡¯s wrist. After touching the other party, Feng Cang discovered that the other party¡¯s wrists were slim like a woman¡¯s.
¡°Bastard!¡± Being touched by another man, Murong Qi Qi was furious. She¡¯s Feng Cang¡¯s. How could she allow someone aside from Feng Cang to touch her. This man was really a bastard!
Because of flying into a rage out of humiliation, Murong Qi Qi also forgot her strokes. Instinctively, she kicked the underbody of the silver masked man. The other party didn¡¯t let go. His other free hand caught Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ankle.
With a grasp, Feng Cang was puzzled. Where was there a man with such a small skeleton? Even the ankle was so slim like a woman¡¯s...
A girl? Feng Cang suddenly looked up from surprise. Looking at the beautiful white cat mask in front of him, he didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s other hand would p him straight on his silver mask, ¡°Stinky rogue!¡±
A ¡®pa...¡¯ sound made everyone¡¯s mind went nk and also woke Feng Cang up. This voice and also this tone; plus this small hand, if this wasn¡¯t Murong Qi Qi, then who else could it be?!
¡°Qing Qing?¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t know what kind of words he should use to describe his feelings now. Shocked? Foolishly frightened? Surprised? Overflown with happiness... (Alright, in fact, it¡¯s rabbit who couldn¡¯t describe it).
¡°Qing your sister!¡±
The other party not only controlled her hand and foot. He also used the way Feng Cang called her to call her. This let Murong Qi Qi be angrier. Her leg flew to the man in white¡¯s chest. The other party fell on the ground.
¡°Bastard! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Looking at the foolish smile on the silver masked man¡¯s face, the golden thread in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand danced and flew towards Feng Cang¡¯s throat.
¡°Wangye!¡± Nn Xin looked at the foolish Feng Cang and screamed.
¡°Miss! Have mercy!¡±
On the other side, Su Mei, Su Yue and Fang Tong had also arrived. Su Yue was anxious. The dart in her hand directly interrupted the direction of the golden thread.
¡®Boom!¡¯ Only after Feng Cang heard the loud noise, did he wake up. He jumped up like a carp, ¡°Qing Qing, you want to murder your husband, ah?!¡±
¡°Qing your...¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t finish and looked startled at the man opposite her for a moment. It turned out that, the p from just now moved Feng Cang¡¯s silver mask a bit and revealed his pair of devilishly beautifully smiling eyes, ¡°Cang?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me!¡±
Now, Feng Cang didn¡¯t know what to say. Su Mei and Su Yue rushed to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. One on the left and the other on the right, both checked her body. ¡°Miss, are you alright?! Miss!¡±
¡°Uh, I¡¯m fine...¡±
Murong Qi Qi also became foolish now. What kind of situation was this? How did the other party be Feng Cang?
¡°It¡¯s me, Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang took down the mask and revealed his face. It was just, on Feng Cang devilishly beautifully face was now a look of disbelief and surprise. He reached out. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t reject and let Feng Cang take down that white porcin cat mask, revealing the face he was familiar with.
¡°How could it be you?!¡± Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t close her small mouth. She could only look nkly at Feng Cang.
¡°You¡¯re Guanghua gongzi?¡± Although Feng Cang wanted to suppress his excitement, but his trembling voice still betrayed his heart. What exactly was going on? Murong Qi Qi was actually Guanghua gongzi? How could this be? Was Guanghua gongzi not a man...?
However, with a closer look, Feng Cang discovered the corrtion. Since Murong Qi Qi could be Lian gongzi, why couldn¡¯t she be Guanghua gongzi? She liked to cross-dress and disguise as a man. For her, it was more convenient to move in the jianghu and also facilitate her work!
Looking at Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang suddenly giggled. What was he doing? What kind of vinegar was he eating? Guanghua gongzi and Murong Qi Qi were the same person. He actually almost let the vinegar flood the whole capital for the same person? And also let Nn Xin do such a ridiculous thing...
Thinking till here, Feng Cang suddenly remembered Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai which had been burned by Nn Xin...This time, he¡¯s (FC) in big trouble. He destroyed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s effort. How should hepensate this?
Murong Qi Qi was in a daze for a long time. Only when she saw Fang Tong, did Murong Qi Qi recover. ¡°Uncle Fang, are you alright?! And the other brothers?! How are they? What happened? Who burned Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai?¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi came alone to Lion Ridge to save him, Fang Tong was very excited. Only just now, when his servant and Su Yue came looking for him, did he find out what had happened at Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. This was really too strange!
¡°Miss, this is the case.¡± Seeing nothing had happened to Murong Qi Qi, Fang Tong let out a sigh of relief. Then, he reported how the situation was at that time to Murong Qi Qi.
It turned out that today, Tong Bao Zhai had opened like usual. When the morning passed halfway, suddenly a group of people came looking for trouble at Tong Bao Zhai. Talking till here, Fang Tong especially looked once at Feng Cang. ¡°They weren¡¯t guye¡¯s4 people.¡±
Fang Tong¡¯s ¡®guye¡¯ let Feng Cang¡¯s nervous heart calmed down a bit. It seemed that the personality of this old man wasn¡¯t bad. Although they had brought him over to here, but he didn¡¯t turn right from wrong.
¡°Then who was it?¡±
¡°It was Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people. The ones who came with them were the guards of the capital. With the excuse of searching for fugitives, they arrested our people.¡±
Wu Ji Gong? The guards of the capital? Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi narrowed their eyes at the same time. Behind Wu Ji Gong was the crown prince. They knew this. Besides, the army was used. It seemed that there was definitely someone behind this.
¡°Later, there was a dispute and we fought. ording to miss, when meeting with trouble, protecting the lives of the brothers was the most important. Moreover, ordinary people shouldn¡¯t fight with officials. We hadn¡¯t figured out the matter yet. We couldn¡¯t go head to head with the court. So, this subordinate, ording to the usual way, let the brothers retreat.¡±
After everyone retreated, Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people found it dull. They smashed and robbed for a while and then left. Not long after, Fang Tong came back to look at the situation. Unexpectedly, he had encountered Nn Xin. Although, he was strong, but Nn Xin seemed to be one level higher and captured him to bring him here.
¡°The situation was like this. As for what miss said, Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai being burned, this subordinate indeed doesn¡¯t know who did it.¡±
While saying this, Fang Tong looked at Nn Xin as if wanting him to give an exnation.
¡°Did you do it?¡± Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to open her mouth, Su Yue came to Nn Xin and looked at him with disbelief, ¡°That day, meeting you at Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s entrance wasn¡¯t idental, was it? You were following me, am I right?¡±
¡°Uh...,¡±Facing Su Yue¡¯s questioning, Nn Xin didn¡¯t deny.
¡°I admit that I followed you. However, I really didn¡¯t let people burn down Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai! When I went, the store was in a mess. At Jue Se Fang, I saw this elder and invited him over. I really didn¡¯t do the other things! Wangye only said to bring the people here and didn¡¯t say to set it on fire!¡±
A ¡®wangye¡¯ let Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze turn to Feng Cang. She slowly walked to Feng Cang, raised her head and looked seriously at Feng Cang, ¡°Cang, don¡¯t you think you should exin this matter? Why do you need to kidnap my people?¡±
¡°This...¡± Feng Cangughed embarrassingly. How to let him say it? Could he say to Murong Qi Qi: because of you, I¡¯ve eaten your vinegar? Isn¡¯t this a tongue-twister...?
¡°Talk!¡± Murong Qi Qi snapped. Nn Xin¡¯s heart almost jumped out.
Just now, when he got to know that Guanghua gongzi was actually Murong Qi Qi, Nn Xin wanted to die. What a thing! Wangye ate vinegar for whatever reason and caused him (NX) to offend wangfei.5 How should he spend his days in the future? Why did all unlucky things fall on him?!
¡°I was jealous.¡± Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very small as if he was afraid that others would hear.
After hearing that the person in red was a woman and that she was the new wife master had taken, the spectating underlings beside Feng Cang all raised their thumbs in their hearts for Murong Qi Qi. Only such a woman was worthy of their master! This hot temper, this powerful personality and also those vicious attacks, all showed that she was the woman heaven had arranged for Feng Cang.
Now, it seemed surging waters flooded the Dragon King Temple, a family member didn¡¯t know the other family member. Now, there¡¯s a good y to watch! These people had forgotten how Murong Qi Qi fiercely taught them a lesson just now. Now, they formed a circle and wanted to see if mistress would ¡®teach a lesson¡¯ to their master.
Surging waters flooded the Dragon King Temple: a dispute between close people who fail to recognize each other
¡°Louder!¡± Not waiting for Feng Cang to finish, Murong Qi Qi roared again.
Now, an obscure anger was scurrying everywhere in her body. Feng Cang actually let people kidnap her people? Her shops had been destroyed and now, they still didn¡¯t know who the culprit is? All these things were stacked together and the spearheads pointed at Feng Cang, making Murong Qi Qi unable to not get angry.
¡°I was jealous!¡± Feng Cang also roared. His eyes stared at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face which had be red from anger.
¡°The moment I knew you were Du Xian Er, I began to eat vinegar! The whole jianghu said that Du Xian Er and Guanghua gongzi were a pair of immortals. When you and I married, Guanghua gongzi also bet heavily on you, making me unable to not think about the rtionship between you two! You¡¯re my wangfei, who does Guanghua gongzi think he is to steal my wangfei? I was jealous. So jealous, I went crazy and wished that I could kill this rival, alright?!¡±
Such a long speech, Feng Cang yelled it in one take. After the roar, the image he had in the heart of his underlings, immediately copsed. It turned out to be like this! Because of eating vinegar, master had actually fought with mistress! Master, ah!
After a silent while, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tight face suddenly loosened. With a ¡®puchi...¡¯ sound, sheughed out loud.
¡°Hahaha! You, this fool! You actually ate vinegar because of me!¡± The woman in red trembled fromughing under the moonlight.
Chapter 133 I love you (1)
Chapter 133 I love you (1)
In the middle of the night, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s crisp as silver bell- likeughter was particrly refreshing in the silent Lion Ridge.
The beauty¡¯sughter was capable of causing the downfall of a city or state. Looking at the bright and dazzling woman in front of them, the people in ck couldn¡¯t help but envy their master¡¯s good fortune form the bottom of their hearts. Originally, they were worried that because of this matter, Feng Cang would suffer at mistress¡¯s hands. They didn¡¯t expect that thisughter from mistress, would let the earth be pale inparison.
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face was somewhat hot. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude was too beyond his imaginations. Just as Feng Cang still wasn¡¯t sure if Murong Qi Qi truly wasn¡¯t angry, the other party came with cat¡¯s steps and jumped into Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°You care about me, I am very happy!¡±
Murong Qi Qiy in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She raised her head and looked in his eyes, ¡°Really! You care so much about me, I¡¯m particrly moved!¡±
Now, those people who prayed for Feng Cang werepletely assured.
¡°Oh!¡± Someone pped. More people cheered for Feng Cang and were happy because he found such a reasonable person.
Theughter was strong in these people in ck who were utterly defeated by Murong Qi Qi. Naturally, they wished for their master to be happy. To be able to find such an intimate and such a powerful mistress was something everyone looked for a very long time forward to.
¡°Qing Qing, you don¡¯t me me?¡±
¡°Fool!¡± In order to reassure this person, in front of everyone, Murong Qi Qi tiptoed, her hands went around Feng Cang¡¯s neck and sent him a warm kiss.
¡°Mistress is formidable!¡±
Such a hot scene let those men scream.
¡°Hehe...¡± This kiss let Feng Cang¡¯s heart eased downpletely. She¡¯s his. He felt it! ¡°Qing Qing, I love you!¡± Feng Cang lowered his head and kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips.
¡°Oh...¡±
It was rare to see such a wonderful picture. Everyone polished their eyes and stared at that pair of lovers; one in red, one in white. They kissed like the world was shaking as if in this world, there were only the two of them...
Kissing to the end, Feng Cang lowered his body and picked Murong Qi Qi up. He left as fast as the wind.
¡°Miss...,¡± Su Yue was just about to follow, when she was stopped by Nn Xin. ¡°Wangye 1 and wangfei2 have something to do. We shouldn¡¯t bother them! The most important thing now is to check how Wu Ji Gong¡¯s people hooked on the people from the court. The matter of Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai still needs to be resolved. For an estimate short time, master wouldn¡¯t have time to care about this...¡±
Nn Xin saying this, Su Yue¡¯s face turned red. Looking at the situation, miss and guye3 must¡¯ve gone to a world with only the two of them. Su Mei also had a red face. Instead it was Fang Tong whoughed. ¡°It seemed that we should prepare sooner. Firstly, resolve these trivial matters. Then, we must prepare for the arrival of young master!¡±
¡°Cough, cough...¡±
Nn Xin felt that he was subtle enough. He didn¡¯t expect that Fang Tong, this elder, would be so direct. The couple just went to be affectionate and this elder directly thought about the next generation.
The thought that he kidnapped Fang Tong to here today, Nn Xin quickly came forward to apologize, ¡°Elder Fang, this younger onecked manners today. Asking elder to let this younger one atone for my crime.¡±
¡°Haha!¡± Fang Tongughed and waved his hand. Before, he also misunderstood Feng Cang. Only after he encountered Su Mei and Su Yue, did he understand the matter. Seeing Feng Cang cared so much for Murong Qi Qi, of course, Fang Tong was happy.
¡°There would always be talented peopleing out of this world. Brat, you¡¯re not bad! Your martial arts are great, ah! Today we¡¯re surging waters flooded the Dragon King Temple, our own people didn¡¯t recognize our own people. Now the contradictions are untied. It¡¯s nothing!¡± While talking, Fang Tong¡¯s big hand patted on Nn Xin¡¯s shoulder. It could be regarded as his (FT) affirmation towards him (NX)
Surging waters flooded the Dragon King Temple: a dispute between close people who fail to recognize each other
Fang Tong saying this made Nn Xin felt that Moyu¡¯s people were very interesting. People of the jianghu 4 didn¡¯t bother about trifles.
Although Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi weren¡¯t here, but Nn Xin and Fang Tong¡¯s point of view was the same on the matter of dealing with Wu Ji Gong.
¡°Elder Fang, you see, this was our fault. Why don¡¯t you let us deal with Wu Ji Gong¡¯s matter? It could be considered as an apology to wangfei and also an exnation for Moyu.¡±
Fang Tong nodded at Nn Xin¡¯s opinion, ¡°Originally, this matter should be decided by miss. Now, since young master Nn said it like this, then do ording to your wishes! Elder, me, had long seen Wu Ji Gong as a thorn in the eyes. In my opinion, it¡¯s the best to wipe them out at once! Lest to let theme disturb and let miss and guye worry!¡±
What Fang Tong said was what Nn Xin thought about. Although, he didn¡¯t know why Wu Ji Gong would make trouble for Guanghua gongzi,5 but they even pulled the army in. Then it would have something to do with the court.
Wu Ji Gong had always been the running dogs of the crown prince. Maybe this matter had something to do with the crown prince. Anyway, regardless of the consequences, destroy them first.
He had long not liked Wanyan Hong! Free or not free, he (WH) would bother wangye. This time, he even burned wangfei¡¯s Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. It¡¯s said, what can¡¯t be tolerated shouldn¡¯t be tolerated! Offending wangye is a small matter. Causing him (NX) to leave a bad impression at wangfei¡¯s was something that even heaven¡¯sw wouldn¡¯t tolerate!
At this end, Nn Xin was nning how to end Wu Ji Gong. At the other side of Lion Ridge, Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chin and deeply looked at the little woman in front of him.
¡°Qing Qing, I was bitterly being kept in the dark by you...¡±A long sigh evaporated all the vinegar of Feng Cang from these past few days, leaving only a thick love and a slight me.
¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Besides, you also kept a secret from me...¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to speak, Murong Qi Qi seized Feng Cang¡¯s hand. She turned and sat in a riding position on Feng Cang¡¯s body, ¡°Cang...¡± Learning from Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi also grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s chin. Her fingertips gently touched Feng Cang¡¯s thin beard stubble. Her eyes were smiling, but they had a temptation in them.
¡°Cang has something you hid from me...You kept talking about my wrongdoings. Why did you have questions and didn¡¯te ask me directly? I kept it from you, then why weren¡¯t you forting with me?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s questions made Feng Cangugh helplessly. Just now, he was thinking that Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t hold someone ountable for today¡¯s matter. In front of everyone, she took the initiative to kiss him and gave him enough face. Feng Cang thought that today¡¯s matter vanished with that affectionate kiss.
He didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s move was here. She was waiting to settle the scores at an opportune moment and to send punitive forces against him in private. This little woman knew very well that men wanted face....
¡°Cang, who are you? Seeing your position, I think you¡¯re not so simple as being only Nan Lin wang!¡±
While Murong Qi Qi was speaking, her fingertips made circles on Feng Cang¡¯s chin. It was as if her hands had magic. Where they touched, they bought Feng Cang a numb feeling. From his chin, that feeling extended and finally conveyed to his whole body.
Could it be that this woman didn¡¯t know what she was doing?! Feng Cang swallowed. Her hand lit him like fire, making his heart and his body began to stir.
Feng Cang grasped Murong Qi Qi¡¯s restless hand. His eyes were exceptionally brightly lit under the candle, ¡°Qing Qing, talking about it, our fate wasn¡¯t shallow. I¡¯m the leader of Fo Sheng Men...Long Ao Tian!¡±
The story began five years ago, when Feng Cang¡¯s poison acted and met Mozun. She heard that godfather promised her to Feng Cang. Murong Qi Qiughed and put her arms on Feng Cang¡¯s waist. ¡°So, our fate was destined! Father and mother wanted to promise me to you. Godfather also took a fancy on you. Now, even I, the involved party was also made so infatuated with you. A predestined marriage concluded by three fates.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words made Feng Cang happy. A predestined marriage concluded by three fates? This was well said! Their fate was actually already firmly tied together from a long time ago. It seemed that this smallzy cate was destined to be his!
¡°Say, how would youpensate me for today¡¯s matter?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to look angrily at Feng Cang, ¡°We fought internally, let people think we¡¯re a joke and also let those bastard from Wu Ji Gong find a loophole; destroying my efforts. You say, how should youpensate me?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi kept repeating pensation¡¯ made Feng Cang think about Wu Ji Gong that participated in this matter. Usually, he turned a blind eye. This time, Wu Ji Gong actually wanted to touch his woman? This matter absolutely couldn¡¯t be forgiven!
¡°Servants!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s voice echoed. A person in ck appeared in front of them, ¡°Master!¡± The person in ck knelt on one knee. His whole body revealed his respect towards Feng Cang.
¡°Destroy Wu Ji Gong.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± The person in ck was about to leave, but was stopped by Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Take my people. Take Su Yue. Tell her that Wu Ji Gong destroyed my things. Even if skinning their skin, they need topensate my loss.¡±
The person in ck didn¡¯t move. He just looked at Feng Cang. Feng Cang is his master. This matter needed master¡¯s nod.
¡°Go! Let Nn Xin take care of this matter and convey wangfei¡¯s words! Tell Nn Xin to take care of this beautifully as to make up for his earlier mistake!¡±
When Nn Xin heard the meaning Feng Cang let the person in ck convey, he waspletely speechless. What kind of ck-bellied master is this, ah?! He (FC) did the wrong thing himself and now he let him (NX) who only run the errands go ¡®make up for his earlier mistake¡¯! Wanting to make wangfei happy, no need to single him out as the point of attack, ah!
Nn Xin felt like weeping, but had no tears. This was Feng Cang¡¯smand. He could only sessfullyplete it.
Where would Feng Cang have the time to care about Nn Xin¡¯s thoughts now. He repeatedly said ¡®Qing Qing¡¯ to coax Murong Qi Qi into happiness.
It was said that women needed to be coaxed. Feng Cang admitted that he was indeed wrong on this matter. If he had listened to Nn Xin sooner and talked frankly with Murong Qi Qi, this misunderstanding wouldn¡¯t have continued for so long. He also wouldn¡¯t lose his reason and eat vinegar for so long.
¡°Qing Qing, look, you already beat and kicked. Now, my chest is still hurting! If you don¡¯t believe me, then touch!¡± Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small hand and put it on his heart, ¡°Today I finally got to know that Qing Qing¡¯s usual gentleness and pleasantness were all a pretense. It turned out that when Qing Qing flipped out, Qing Qing would be so violent...¡±
Only after Feng Cang said this, did Murong Qi Qi remember. Before, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. Not only did she give him a p but also fiercely kicked Feng Cang.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t know it was you! Are you alright?! Does it hurt? Let me take a look!¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t think much and directly pried the clothes on Feng Cang¡¯s chest open. Sure enough, on his white like jade skin was a red footprint.
Seeing this shoeprint, Murong Qi Qi blushed. She had forgotten how powerful her flying kick was. Especially at that time, Feng Cang already let his guard down. This kick certainly hurt him.
The red footprint on Feng Cang¡¯s milk white skin was especially offending to the eyes as if it wasining about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s barbarian ways. After seeing her achievement, the original right and self-confident Murong Qi Qi became sickly.
¡°Who told you to have nothing to do and lowered your voice. I couldn¡¯t recognize your voice. I saw you in white clothes and in disarray like a cow, I got angry. Besides, you kept touching, I thought I encountered a pervert...¡±
The more she talked, the smaller Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice became. She searched on her body, wanting to find a cream for Feng Cang to lessen the swelling. After searching for half day, did Murong Qi Qi remember that she changed just now. She didn¡¯t bring those creams. Looking at the redness on Feng Cang¡¯s chest, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face became redder.
¡°Should we go back! My creams are at wangfu. I assure you, as long as you apply my creams, it wouldn¡¯t even take a half day before the redness and swelling would be eliminated. After a day, it wouldn¡¯t hurt anymore!¡±
Murong Qi Qi wanted to get up, but had been locked in Feng Cang¡¯s arms, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s face was slightly red. When this little woman examined his ¡®injury¡¯, Feng Cang had an unprecedented impulse of wanting to jump on Murong Qi Qi and punish her on spot.
Could this woman not know that she, a sheep, to him, this wolf, was a delicacy?! She pried his clothes open. Did she not understand that to a man that was undoubtedly a very great temptation?
¡°Cang? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing Feng Cang being so red, Murong Qi Qi reached out her hand and waved in front of his eyes, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Does it hurt very much? I¡¯m sorry! I really didn¡¯t know it was you...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were full of guilt, but Feng Cang was ¡®unwilling to forgive¡¯. ¡°Qing Qing really has a ruthless heart! Obviously, you want to murder your husband! You definitely have someone else in your heart. So, you want to take my life and elope with another...¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t, I didn¡¯t!¡± Hearing Feng Cang say this, Murong Qi Qi immediately shook her head. ¡°I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose! I didn¡¯t recognize you! I don¡¯t like someone else aside from you touching me. That was why, that kick was so fierce!¡±
Hearing that ¡®I don¡¯t like someone else touching me¡¯, Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes filled withughter. So, it was like that! She took herself as his private ownership. That was why she would be like that. She was protecting him, ah!
However, although, he was touched, Feng Cang didn¡¯t n on ¡®letting¡¯ Murong Qi Qi ¡®off the hook¡¯. Finally, he caught the opportunity to eat themb. How would he give up on the delicacy presented to his mouth?!
Thinking till here, Feng Cang frowned and clutched his heart. He pretended to be in much pain and began to moan, ¡°Just now, we didn¡¯t talk about it and I didn¡¯t feel it. Now, here really hurt! Qing Qing, my chest hurts very much. You say, am I dying?¡±
¡°No!¡± Feng Cang saying this, Murong Qi Qi became anxious. She immediately put her hand on Feng Cang¡¯s wrist to check his pulse. After not finding anything strange, Murong Qi Qi was relieved. She was just about to speak, when Feng Cang¡¯s voice with a hidden bitterness came over, ¡°But, my chest hurt so much. What to do? Why don¡¯t you blow on it for me. It won¡¯t hurt anymore if you blow on it...¡±
¡°Blow...¡± Murong Qi Qi froze there. Where did this principlee from? After being wounded, ¡®blow¡¯ on it and it would be fine?
Seeing Murong Qi Qi had doubts, Feng Cang pretended to grimace in pain, ¡°Qing Qing, it really hurts!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll blow on it for you!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s small face came to Feng Cang¡¯s chest. Her small mouth opened slightly and blew out a warm heat. That warm air lingered for a long time on Feng Cang¡¯s chest. It didn¡¯t dissipate yet, when the next warm air hit again.
An electric shock spread from Feng Cang¡¯s chest.
Murong Qi Qi had her head lowered and blew on Feng Cang¡¯s chest. Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s serious expression, Feng Cang suddenly had a sense of guilt. He felt like he was a big bad wolf deceiving a smallmb. However, this smallmb was so fresh and delicious, making him couldn¡¯t wait to get a taste. What should he do?
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t realize that his original maic voice had be a bit hoarse. His throat was dry and his voice was somewhat trembling.
¡°Mm?¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head. A pair of moist eyes was very thorough and with some anxiousness. This kick kicked Feng Cang¡¯s chest, but hurt Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Feng Cang¡¯s body was originally not so well; this kick was too powerful!
¡°Qing Qing, if you kiss it, perhaps it won¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±
After saying that, Feng Cang wished he could give himself two ps. Shameless, ah! Too shameless! Shouldn¡¯t abduct a small sheep like this! Wasn¡¯t thismitting a crime?! Since when did he be like a rogue? Really somewhat unscrupulous!
The Murong Qi Qi who felt for Feng Cang didn¡¯t notice the strangeness in Feng Cang. Instead, she truly put her lips on the red print.
¡°Goo...¡± Feng Cang closed his eyes. This time, he knew he was wrong! He didn¡¯t know that to him, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s kiss was a fatal torture!
Did this woman not doubt his ulterior motives? Her soft lips were on his chest and slowly moved around the injury. Without a doubt, this was a test to him; a torture! Just now, it was only a numb feeling. Now, Feng Cang¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly. Damn it! If he had known sooner, he wouldn¡¯t trick the smallmb. Now, the one who was feeling the most painful became him....
¡°Cang, what¡¯s the matter?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi soon discovered Feng Cang¡¯s strangeness. ¡°Why is it like this?¡± Murong Qi Qi put her hand on Feng Cang¡¯s forehead. ¡°This won¡¯t do. We need to return to the wangfu!6 I certainly wounded you!¡±
There was a saying, concern would cause chaos. Murong Qi Qi had high medical skills. Originally, with one look, she could see the trickery inside this. However, now her heart was full of guilt and ignored Feng Cang¡¯s gaze full of sexual desire.
¡°Servants!¡± Murong Qi Qi stood up, but had been grasped by Feng Cang. He pressed her under his body.
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
3. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
4. Jianghu: world of martial arts
5. Gongzi: young master
6. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank

Chapter 134 I love you (2)
¡°Cang...¡±
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to speak, someone appeared at the door, ¡°Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Retreat!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s roar startled the person standing outside for a moment. He immediately retreated.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang stared at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful and weren¡¯t lesser than the stars in the sky. At first, it was this pair of eyes that had made his spirit and soul upside down, made him fall so deep that he couldn¡¯t free himself.
Spirit and soul upside down: infatuated and head over heels in love
¡°Qing Qing, what you said earlier today, does that still count?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hands supported his body. His long hair fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body. His eyes were full of eager desire, waiting for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer.
¡°What did I say during the day?¡± How could Murong Qi Qi remember that Feng Cang meant that sentence?
Seeing that until this point, this little woman was still confused, Feng Cangughed bitterly. Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. His tongue pried her lips open and wantonly plundered her fragrance as if by doing this sacred ceremony, he would let her mouth be infected with his taste.
Different from the usual gentleness, today¡¯s Feng Cang was like a hungry wolf; crazy and passionate.
¡°During the day, you said to make me surrender...Qing Qing, I want to ask you, is this true...,¡± After a long time, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. His nose and her nose touched. With such a short distance, his eyes quietly looked at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Can I?¡±
Feng Cang saying it so straightforwardly, how could Murong Qi Qi not understand? Immediately, blood rushed to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brain. Her face got fever and her eyes showed shyness.
It turned out that he wanted...Just the thought of what was about to happen, made Murong Qi Qi immediately feel like a lost deer, wandering in a vast forest.
¡°Qing Qing, can you? I want you! Wanting so much...I nearly went crazy! Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t hide his desire for Murong Qi Qi. For a long time, he felt stuffed to death.
Feng Cang wanted to be a gentleman, but he had overestimated his own strength! The woman he loved was at his side and in his arms. Seeing her every day and hugging her every night. Smelling the green apple fragrance from her body and feeling the warmth from her body; if he was indifferent, then he wasn¡¯t a normal man.
It was very silent inside the room. Murong Qi Qi could clearly hear her own heartbeat, ¡°Boom, boom, boom...¡±
Looking at Feng Cang so closely, Murong Qi Qi could see the thick eyshes on his deep eyes. One by one, they slightly trembled. Obviously, Feng Cang was restraining himself. She could feel it.
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak. Feng Cang supported his body with his hand. The two maintained this position and looked at each other, face to face. Although his expression didn¡¯t change, but inside Feng Cang¡¯s heart, he was afraid. Afraid that Murong Qi Qi would refuse! Although he couldn¡¯t be a gentleman, but he also couldn¡¯t be a viin and use the forceful way.
He wanted her to give herself willingly and not forced.
¡°Qing Qing, if you¡¯re not ready, I can wait. Truly!¡± Although, the tremble in Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very slight, but Murong Qi Qi still heard it. This man, ah...Murong Qi Qi was touched and put her hands around Feng Cang¡¯s neck.
¡°Cang, I am willing.¡±
This ¡®I¡¯m willing¡¯ let Feng Cang hold his breath for a long time. He didn¡¯t dare to believe his ears. He could only look nkly at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I¡¯m willing...¡± Murong Qi Qi hooked Feng Cang¡¯s neck and let him get closer to her. She took the initiative to kiss Feng Cang¡¯s forehead. ¡°I¡¯m willing...¡±
Feng Cang just said the two words ¡®Qing Qing¡¯, but it was drowned in their hot kiss.
At this point, Feng Cang¡¯s hands were also slightly trembling. He somewhat couldn¡¯t believe his ears! She¡¯s willing! She loves him! She¡¯s about to be his!
An unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction filled Feng Cang¡¯s heart. His Qing Qing was finally about to be his.
¡°Cang...¡± After the kiss, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cheeks were bright and red like blood, ¡°That...I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know how to do it.¡±
Having said this, Murong Qi Qi lowered her eyes from shyness and didn¡¯t dare to look at Feng Cang. Although she was a time-travelled girl, but in the previous life, she hadn¡¯t experienced the things of love. She only knew the theory that was worse than useless in practice. To Murong Qi Qi, the things about love werepletely a nk paper. (Author¡¯s note: A pure female character, ah-)
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s shy expression made Feng Cang chuckle. She didn¡¯t know, he also didn¡¯t know. The first time he dated was with Murong Qi Qi. His first love was also Murong Qi Qi. He also only heard about the thing she didn¡¯t know about. How could he not be clean? (Author¡¯s note: A pure male character, ah-)
¡°Qing Qing, I also don¡¯t know.¡±
After those words fell, Feng Cang also got a big red face. It was reasonable to say, at his age, he should have had arge number of wives and concubines and a bunch of children.
If people knew that the famous Nan Lin wang1 Feng Cang was a pure little virgin, anyone wouldugh till their teeth fell off.
Feng Cang had finally summoned the courage to confess; Murong Qi Qi was surprised for a moment and looked startled at Feng Cang.
¡°What, allowing you to be pure and faultless and I can¡¯t remain chaste?!¡±
Seeing ¡®disbelief¡¯ sh in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang bit Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips, ¡°I have been waiting for you, my little bride!¡±
¡°Then, how to begin...¡± After she asked this, Murong Qi Qi almost bit her tongue. She¡¯s so stupid! She actually asked such a question!
¡°Haha...¡±
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s shyness, Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s earlobe, ¡°Qing Qing, why don¡¯t we start from listening to words of love?!¡±
¡°Qing Qing, do you know, before I met you, I thought this world was ck and white, that I would never meet someone I would love and would never get loved; until I met you. My treasure...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s lips gently touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s earlobe. The breath he exhaled lingered around Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear. Heat like a warm flow wrapped around Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear, stimting her hearing and her sense of touch.
¡°You made my life turn colorful. You let me understand that the world¡¯s sweetest thing is nothing more than love. You let me fall deeply in love with your everything.¡±
Along Murong Qi Qi¡¯s beautiful jaw, Feng Cang¡¯s kiss arrived at her small chin. That kind of numb feeling followed Feng Cang¡¯s lips. Feng Cang¡¯s hands also grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist to press her closer to him.
Afraid that Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t bear his weight, Feng Cang¡¯s right arm supported him near Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair. His fingers slowlybed her ck hair. His pair of affectionate eyes didn¡¯t leave Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face for a moment.
¡°You¡¯re so beautiful!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s voice was like magic and let Murong Qi Qi gradually put down her shyness. She was also no longer so nervous and only infatuatedly entangled with his affectionate eyes. Her eyes only had him.
¡°Do you know how anxious I was when Shangguan Wu Ji took you away!¡± Feng Cang untied the bow on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dress. Layer byyer, like a cocoon. Careful and meticulous in fear that he would brutally ruin this tranquillity.
¡°I was not sure if you would go with me, but I still insisted on chasing you. To tell you the truth, I feel that, that time was one of my most wise and handsome moments. Qing Qing, do you know how worried I felt while I was chasing you?! I was so afraid that you will go with him! I said to myself, if by chance you went with Shangguan Wu Ji, I should show my generosity. I needed to support you and take care of the aftermath for you...¡±
When saying this, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dress had been taken off, revealing a snow-white arm. Under the light, that blood-red gecko cinnabar markid silently on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s arm as if it was waiting for someone to take it off.
When he saw that white small clothes which was different from normal undergarments on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body, Feng Cang froze. A moment of short-circuit appeared in his brain. He also forgot the words he wanted to say and only stared at those small white clothes.
These clothes were different from undergarments. One, because the color was white. Two, because the shape was very strange. Two thin straps wrapped around the shoulders. Following, was two palm-sized fabrics.
¡°Qing Qing, what is this?¡± Feng Cang pulled at the thin straps. Murong Qi Qi blushed. ¡°This is the underwear I designed, it¡¯s called a bra.¡±
¡°Ill omen? Why don¡¯t you call it lucky omen?¡±
Ð×Õ×(xi¨ngzh¨¤o): ill omen, ÐØÕÖ(xi¨ngzh¨¤o): bra; are homophones.
¡°Haha...,¡± Seeing Feng Cang like that, Murong Qi Qiughed. She had forgotten that this could be the first bra in this world. Originally, she wanted to produce it and put it in Jue Se Fang. However, now she didn¡¯t have the time. So, she¡¯d made it first for her own use. She didn¡¯t expect that the first time she wore it, Feng Cang would meet it.
Looking at the trembling white shoulders and peacefully moving clouds because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯sughter, Feng Cang¡¯s breathing became heavy.
¡°Qing Qing!¡±
Feng Cang suddenly stopped and didn¡¯t dare to move. She was just like that, lying perfectly in the red bedding. The red silk made her skin appear snow white. Her exquisite figure plus her beautiful and moving eyes, made Feng Cang feel somewhat suffocated. He didn¡¯t know what the right thing to do was.
Feng Cang being so ¡®cautious¡¯ made Murong Qi Qiugh. She got up and her hand hooked on Feng Cang¡¯s belt.
No matter what dynasty, men¡¯s clothing was simple to take off. For example, Feng Cang¡¯s clothes. They were exquisite and gorgeous, but it was just a matter of a few ropes.
¡°Cang, your figure is as charming as your personality.¡±
Seeing the man with the broad shoulders and thin waist in front of her, in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes appeared infatuation. Such abs, such arc; putting him in the modern world, matched with this devilishly beautiful face, he would definitely be the world¡¯s top model.
Learning from what Feng Cang just did, Murong Qi Qi climbed on Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder, sat on him and faced him.
¡°I...,¡± Feng Cang was a bit nervous. Just now, he was very courageous. But now, meeting thest line of defense and after seeing that strange little clothes, Feng Cang was somewhat timid. He didn¡¯t know how to start.
¡°I¡¯ll teach you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi tied her long hair together. She turned. Her back faced Feng Cang. Only now did he see the mystery behind this. He reached out and gently unlocked the final seal. Aplete beauty appeared like this in front of Feng Cang.
¡°Cang...¡± Murong Qi Qi was full of spring and let her long hair fall on her left side. She turned slightly and looked at Feng Cang.
That long hair covered her beauty like a piece of ck clothes. It was hard to tell if it was real or a sham. It revealed a bit, making Feng Cang¡¯s throat be swollen. Every time he took a breath, his throat would swell badly, making it very hard to breathe.
¡°Am I beautiful?¡±
Murong Qi Qi got off the bed. Barefooted, she stepped on the ground. On her whole body, from the top to bottom, was only clothes made from ck hair. The graceful posture was faintly discerning through the ck hair. All were highlighting the beauty of this woman.
Beautiful, really beautiful. So beautiful that Feng Cang was afraid to go touch her. He was afraid that he, such amoner, would taint the beauty of this woman in front of him.
Originally, it should be a warm passion, but now, ayer of pure light surrounded it. Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any fanciful (dirty) thoughts. He only quietly looked at Murong Qi Qi as if she was a fairy who had descended from heaven and that he could only worship her.
After waiting for a long time, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t get Feng Cang¡¯s initiative. Ay.. She sighed in her heart. Why was Feng Cang, an ancient man, was more of a gentleman than a modern man?! It seemed that only she could be the seductive one!
Thinking till here, Murong Qi Qi went forward and pushed Feng Cang down at once.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang was started, but he felt a burst of warmth from his chest.
¡°Smooch, smooch...¡± Murong Qi Qi was like a baby. While sucking, she kept repeating, ¡°Drink milk, ah. Drink milk, ah...¡±
Now, Feng Cang blushed. Murong Qi Qiid on his chest. That appearance was no difference from a baby¡¯s. Plus her behavior and the words from her mouth were like that of a baby.
In just a moment, Feng Cang sensed his full vitality. Her kisses seemed to swept away all his worries, all the things that bound him, all his cautiousness and all his nervousness away. What was only left was the deep love for her.
That kind of numb feeling spread over his whole body, making every one of his capiry blood vessels begin to have increased blood flow. Plus, it made him restless, making him immediately turn from a pure gentleman to a big bad wolf.
After trying for a while, the other side was still ¡®indifferent¡¯, making Murong Qi Qi feel frustrated. She buried her head against Feng Cang¡¯s ear. Murong Qi Qi began to sob, ¡°Cang, do you really love me? Why can¡¯t I feel your love?!¡±
The tears of the beauty made Feng Cang startle. He quickly put his arms around her, but he didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any clothes on her. When his hands touched that smooth as satin skin, his fingers couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly. He liked it and enjoyed this touch.
¡°Qing Qing, I love you! My heart only has you! Now, it¡¯s like this. In the future, it will also be like this!¡±
¡°Then, why don¡¯t you want me?!¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head. Inside the beautiful phoenix eyes, two big tears were wandering. They wanted to jump out, but had been forced back by Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tearspletely swept Feng Cang¡¯s worries away.
What was he doing?! He actually made her in tears!
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Qing Qing. I¡¯m sorry!¡± Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face and felt heartache over her sadness, ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re too beautiful, making me not dare...to pick you! Qing Qing, forgive me...¡±
Just when Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi, the two were pasted together. A fullness filled Feng Cang¡¯s heart out of midair. This kind of never before satisfaction made him unable to extricate himself.
¡°Eh...,¡± Feng Cang growled and threw himself on Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Qing Qing! I love you!¡± Feng Cang stared at Murong Qi Qi and said it in a serious tone. Go to hell, being a gentleman; go to hell, those dog fart feelings. He only wants her and only loves her! He¡¯s not a god. He¡¯s only a mortal. Even if she was an immortal who fell in the mortal realm; to be loved by him, he would also use every way to let her stay!
¡°I love you!¡±
Feng Cang spat out his love deration and kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips.
This kiss wasplete and filled with enthusiastic satisfaction, making the two¡¯s hearts be closer and adjust intimately to each other¡¯s. Her tears opened the door in his heart. His kiss untied her seal.
With the long kiss, his hand moved along her beautiful curves and explored the mystery of a woman for the first time. Although in the beginning, his hands were trembling a bit, but with their kiss bing more intense, his modesty soon disappeared. He just wanted to grasp her and let her be his.
Because of practicing martial arts, on Feng Cang¡¯s finger was a thinyer of callus. This callus wasn¡¯t rough, but it triggered Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sensitivity. Now, it became her turn to be slightly trembling; like the flowers in the wind, from the weakness revealing strength.
The two kissed like the earth was shattering. Feng Cang¡¯s kiss moved along her chin and came to her white and elegant as a swan neck. He gently sucked her throat.
¡°Cang...,¡± A wobble appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice. Aside from being feminine, it had a husky taste. It was unlike her usual crispiness, but it tempted people even more.
Feeling the fiery power, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s whole body burned. Her eyes, because of their (FC & MQQ) closeness, were ted with ayer of haziness, full of colors.
¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Feng raised his head and looked deeply at Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Qing Qing, I love you!¡±
¡°I also love you!¡± Murong Qi Qi somewhat wanted to cry, but it was wanting to cry from happiness. What adopted father had said, follow your heart, presumably it was this!
All the love piled up. Feng Cang¡¯s breathing became both heavy and rapid. His voice suddenly became a bit urgent, ¡°Qing Qing, can I? Really, can I?¡±
Knowing that it hade to this moment, Murong Qi Qi nodded while blushing. Her hands were on Feng Cang¡¯s shoulders. She heard that the first time would hurt. She had never experienced it and didn¡¯t know how it would be.
Seeing the tension in Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang wasn¡¯t impulsive. He once again kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pink lips, ¡°I love you!¡±
Probably in this world, there wouldn¡¯t be a man gentler than the man in front of her! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart filled with something called moved. She took the initiative to meet Feng Cang¡¯s kiss. Her initiative was the greatest encouragement for Feng Cang. With the gratefulness towards god, with the love for the woman in his arms, Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi deeply. Their fingers entangled together....
¡°Hurt!¡± Murong Qi Qi whispered a cry and bit her lips. In her eyes appeared two crystal clear tears. Sure enough, this wasn¡¯t an easy task...
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slightly crying voice, Feng Cang stopped. Enduring made a thinyer of sweat appear on his nose and forehead. One by one, they were big as sesame seeds and gradually became the size of beans.
¡°Qing Qing, if you¡¯re hurting, then bite me!¡± Feng Cang reached out his arms and put it in front of Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi was hurting, he also didn¡¯t feel good. That kind of feeling he¡¯d never had before wrapped around him, letting him indulge in it and feel pain and happiness at the same time.
Really a kind of torture and happiness which was difficult to describe.
Feng Cang was like this, Murong Qi Qi had no trace of politeness. She bit Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder. The taste of blood in her mouth seemed to shift her pain. When the difort of her body gradually eased, Murong Qi Qi loosened, ¡°Cang, love me!¡±
This ¡®love me¡¯ was like it had opened a gate and made the whole world sunny.
It was also like a militarymand. After Feng Cang got thismand, he threw all the people and things to the clouds...
¡°Qing Qing, I love you!¡±
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
Chapter 135 Lover’s night (1)
Chapter 135 Lover¡¯s night (1)
The night of Lion Ridge was quiet and peaceful. Winter hadn¡¯t passed and spring had yet toe. The night on the mountain was a bit cold, but inside the furnace of the garret, a raging fire was burning.
There wasn¡¯t much candlelight; only two candles were lit. Coincidentally, the two were actually a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles. It seemed that the owner had long premeditated or perhaps this was done inadvertently by fate.
The orange light projected the figures of the people inside the canopy onto the wall.
A strong shadow gently covered the delicate body. His low moans and her light sounds of flowing water made a moving love song.
The sweat on Feng Cang¡¯s nose dropped on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead and became one with the sweat on her forehead, just like their love which was inseparable. Her clench made him grit his teeth and didn¡¯t dare to be violent. He was afraid that tears would fill her eyes again.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang never knew that the love between man and woman could be so joyful, but also so torturing. It was like, one moment, he would be in heaven. The next moment, he would fall in hell.
¡°Cang...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice held a deep sobbing tone. Even though she¡¯d tried her best to rx, but the pain couldn¡¯t deceive people. She had bit too powerfully just now and left a deep tooth print on Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder. Fortunately, in the end, she released him. Otherwise, his shoulder would¡¯ve had a row of bloody teeth marks.
It¡¯s the first time Murong Qi Qi had experienced this kind of feeling of running between the edges of pain and happiness. It was a feeling that was difficult to express in words. It was like standing at a beach in the summer. Sometimes, there would be winds and thunderstorms. Sometimes, the sky was blue and sunny...
She could only use a hoarse voice to call out his name. She put that pair of fine and beautiful small hands on his shoulders. No matter if it was painful or beautiful, she still clutched him tightly as if she wanted to use all her strength and leave her traces on his shoulders.
Feng Cang¡¯s long and ck hair covered their bodies like a ck quilt and didn¡¯t let that orange light peep in the slightest. Under his ck hair, his strong butt constantly came forward. And she was like a vine wrapped tightly around him.
If he was a tree, then she was a vine which clung to him. Her white, slender, and without any superfluous legs encircled his thin and strong waist. Along his beat, she swayed in this red ocean.
Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes were locked on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body, which was about to burn. At this moment, her eyes only had his figure. He clearly saw his face in those dark pupils. He could even see the fire in his eyes clearly.
¡°Qing Qing, I love you!¡±
Feng Cang bent over, bit her lips and wantonly captured her fragrance. At the same time, his right hand grabbed her pair of soft hands and trapped them above Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head. His left hand at this time took her as a peerless piano and lightly fiddled the strings.
¡°I also love you...¡± Murong Qi Qi was already unable to distinguish if the warmth she felt was because of shyness or because of excitement. She called out his name without any strength as if she was a delicate flower blooming in front of him.
This ¡®love you¡¯ became Feng Cang¡¯s biggest power. He felt tenderness towards the woman in front of him and couldn¡¯t love her enough. To express his love, aside fromnguage, there was also action.
¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s you who found me, hooked my heart and stole my love! From today onward, don¡¯t think about getting rid of me. Life after life, you¡¯ll be mine!¡±
Feng Cang overbearingly dered at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ears. And she, after listening to his domineering words, she couldn¡¯t help but look at him full of love, ¡°Cang, I want to give you a son! What do you think?!¡±
How would Murong Qi Qi know that her words were aplete temptation? This little woman obviously didn¡¯t know what temptation was, but it so happened that she did it inadvertently with ten thousand flirtatious expressions.
Like now, her words had directly stimted Feng Cang¡¯s senses.
¡°How could one be enough?¡± Feng Cang¡¯s long and narrow phoenix eyes shed a trace of devilishly beautiful glory, ¡°At least three...¡±
This night seemed particrly long. Murong Qi Qi discovered for the first time that Feng Cang had such fake pure moments. After his deration, what met her was a violent wind and rainstorm like passion. His tenderness, modesty and cautiousness, after saying the sentence of three children, had all been swept away and he became a vigorous extremist, making her unable to do anything but cling to him tightly.
Only when a slight white light came into the room, did Murong Qi Qi finally close her eyes. She was too tired. The paining from her waist made her want to bite Feng Cang. However, she was really exhausted and could only fall asleep while lying on his chest.
¡°Little brat...¡± Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were full of the satisfaction after having eaten her. If it wasn¡¯t because this little woman was tired, he would¡¯ve wanted to continue pestering her like this.
Feng Cang¡¯s slender white fingers were interwoven in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair. He dried her wet, sweaty hair. In the end, he bound her hair with his hair. ¡°Binding our hairs means bing a married couple. Qing Qing, from today onward, you¡¯re my wife, my only lover.¡±
In ancient China, only the main wife could have the title ½á·¢·òÆÞ (Binding hairs married couple).
¡°Woo...¡±
Murong Qi Qi hummed lightly. Feng Cang thought that she had woken up. In the end, he discovered that she¡¯d only hummed once. It seemed that she really was too tired.
This couple had finally became one under such a turning point. This was a happy thing. However, to the people of Wu Ji Gong, this day was a nightmare.
¡°Who are you?¡± When he saw his underlings had climbed inside,pletely covered in blood, Wu Ji Gong¡¯s new leader Hu Min was startled. The people behind them were a group of strangers. They didn¡¯t seem to be good people.
¡°People who havee for your life!¡±
Nn Xin was toozy to talk nonsense with Hu Min. He directly waved. The people behind him flocked forward.
Although Wu Ji Gong was good at using poisons, but in front of Moyu, they were somewhat childish. Fortunately, this time they had Su Yue. Towards Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people, Hu Min¡¯s poison didn¡¯t have any effect.
¡°Moyu, you are Moyu¡¯s people!¡± Seeing Su Yue in front of him, the hand which Hu Min held a dagger with trembled slightly. Just now, he¡¯d been identally infected with the red powder Su Yue sprinkled. Now, his right hand felt painful like a burning fire.
¡°You are Du Xian Er?¡±
Hu Min was startled. He hadn¡¯t seen this poison before and also couldn¡¯t detox it. Seeing that Su Yue was a weak girl and also recalling the rumors from the jianghu,1 Hu Min was sure that this woman in front of him was Du Xian Er from the jianghu¡¯s rumors.
¡°Humph! Just you? You¡¯re not worthy for our miss to use her hands against!¡±
With one cut, Su Yue cut off Hu Min¡¯s throat, surprising Nn Xin beside her. Her hand just flicked and she¡¯d directly taken someone¡¯s life. In his heart, his impression of Su Yue changedpletely. Although he knew that Su Yue and Su Mei weren¡¯t ordinary, but after seeing Su Yue¡¯s vicious side with his own eyes, Nn Xin¡¯s heart still couldn¡¯t help but shudder once.
Feeling that someone was looking at her, Su Yue turned and saw Nn Xin. At this time, she didn¡¯t smile at him. Instead, she had a displeased expression on her face. The next moment, she attacked another person from Wu Ji Gong. Simrly, he was killed in one move, making those people, who¡¯d wanted to surround her because she was a woman, take a few steps back.
Nn Xin had already sensed that Su Yue¡¯s mood was not good on the way here. Presumably, it was because he¡¯d followed her that day, which made her angry...
This time, Nn Xin knew that it was his fault, but wasn¡¯t he also forced?! Now, even Su Yue resented him, making Nn Xin nurse a grievance.
Moyu and Fo Sheng Men cooperated side by side. Everyone from Wu Ji Gong was soon eliminated. Nn Xin led people to clean up the scene, but Su Yue went directly to Wu Ji Gong¡¯s treasure-house.
These past few years, Wu Ji Gong had been doing many shameful activities. They¡¯d earned a great deal of money. After seeing the gold and silver treasures in the treasure-house, Nn Xin was shocked. It was just, wangye2 had ordered that Wu Ji Gong¡¯s things were wangfei¡¯s.3 That was why he let him brought Su Yue over.
¡°Wu Qing, miss said that these things need to be registered. I¡¯ll talk, you¡¯ll register!¡±
Su Yue smiled at the somewhat thin but handsome man standing at a side, making Nn Xin¡¯s heart feel a bit strange. Just now, she had been giving him the cold face. Now, she smiled at another man. What does she mean with this? Could it be that he was severe floods and fierce beasts?
Severe floods and fierce beasts: extremely dangerous things
Nn Xin stared at the man called Wu Qing. The more he (NX) looked, the more he (WQ) became displeasing to the eyes.
Firstly, this man¡¯s name was very strange. Wu Qing, Wu Qing, he must be a ruthless person; secondly, this person was not as handsome as him. Nn Xin went over to take a look when he (WQ) was registering. His handwriting was very beautiful, but his appearance wasn¡¯tparable to Nn Xin¡¯s. There was no doubt on this.
Wu Qing means ruthless, heartless and merciless.
Such a cold-blooded and ruthless person who wasn¡¯t as attractive as him, why would Su Yue smile at him? Could it be that they¡¯re lovers? A couple?
Just the thought that Su Yue and this man called Wu Qing being lovers, made a thing called ¡®vinegar¡¯ spread in Nn Xin¡¯s heart.
It seemed that he was ustomed to that gentle like water and smiling like flower woman. Also, her soft ¡®teacher Nn¡¯. Now, she was so cold with him, but talked cheerfully with another person. From Nn Xin¡¯s point of view, this scene was particrly piercing to the eyes.
Wu Qing was in charge of the finances of Moyu, which was equivalent to being Moyu¡¯s ountant. Using the ounting method that Murong Qi Qi had taught them, in just a while, the two had registered Wu Ji Gong¡¯s financial inventory in its entirety.
¡°Barely able to offset the loss of the two stores.¡± After calcting the results, Wu Qing reported to Su Yue.
¡°No way! So many things could just barely offset? You didn¡¯t calcte wrong?!¡± Nn Xin, who had long disliked Wu Qing, after hearing this result, questioned Wu Qing¡¯s words.
Su Yue nced once at Nn Xin, but didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she continued to discuss with Wu Qing, ¡°Then, you lead the people to take the things away. Copy one registration sheet for me. I need to give it to miss.¡±
Su Yuepletely ignoring him and only speaking with Wu Qing, made Nn Xin¡¯s originally gloomy mood be even worse. Like an ignored child, he squatted at a side and looked at Su Yue and Wu Qing.
After Su Yue and Wu Qing cleaned up thoroughly, Su Yue put the register away. Nn Xin quickly stood up and came to them smilingly, ¡°Miss Su Yue, where are you going? Returning to the wangfu4 or Lion Ridge?¡±
¡°Wu Qing and I will first go to Moyu.¡± It was still a cold answer. It was theplete opposite of her attitude towards Wu Qing.
As for Wu Qing, he acted as if he wasn¡¯t aware of Nn Xin¡¯s hostility. He truly was like his name; he only had one expression, didn¡¯t have joy. He was just as quiet as stagnant water, ¡°Su Yue, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Mm!¡±
Only when the two figures disappeared, did a trace of mncholy sh in Nn Xin¡¯s eyes. It seemed that they really were a pair. He thought that Su Yue was single and was even thinking...forget it, don¡¯t think about it anymore. She already had a lover. No matter how much he thought, it was of no use now.
At this moment, Nn Xin suddenly somewhat understood Feng Cang¡¯s mood when Feng Cang found out that Murong Qi Qi was Du Xian Er and also thought that Du Xian Er and Guanghua gongzi5 were a couple. It was just, was the bad taste in his heart, the jealousy from the legends? This taste was truly f****** ufortable!
It seemed that love truly was a sad poison. It¡¯s better if he did not touch love. Thinking about the fact that Su Yue didn¡¯t turn back to look at him as she left, Nn Xin¡¯s throat choked badly. Thinking about that time under the moonlight, when Su Yue looked back with a smile like a hundred charms were born. It was like a cat was scratching in Nn Xin¡¯s heart; how ufortable it could be was how ufortable it was.
In just a short night, Wu Ji Gong waspletely removed from the jianghu. Everything from Wu Ji Gong had cleanly disappeared as if in this world, this sect had never even existed...
Inside the pce at the capital, Nan Lin wang didn¡¯t go to the morning court. This made the officials surprised. Although this wangye¡¯s body wasn¡¯t good, when he could persist, he woulde to the morning court and never missed one unless he was sick.
Today was an exception. The sun had definitelye out from the west! Yesterday, Nan Lin wang had left with princess Zhen Guo. Today, Feng Cang didn¡¯t appear. There was indeed something worth thinking about inside these actions.
Wanyan Lie frowned and looked at the ce where Feng Cang had usually stood. Now, it¡¯s empty. He was somewhat not used to it.
¡°Jing De, sent someone to Nan Lin wangfu to see what has happened.¡±
When that person returned and told Wanyan Lie that Feng Cang didn¡¯t return to the wangfu for the whole night and princess Zhen Guo also didn¡¯t return, after hearing this, his face showed a trace of joyful smile. It was with a bit of happiness and also with a bit of loneliness.
After the court meeting, like usual, Wanyan Lie mightily went to Long Autumn pce with Jing De.
The Long Autumn pce, now without Yue Lan Zhi¡¯s presence, was usually deserted. The new pce servants had been long warned to not go everywhere. They could only appear in the fixed range.
After pulling the seal off the door, Wanyan Lie entered the chamber.
It had been some time since Yue Lan Zhi had died. This chamber still had the original furnishing. Thinking about that woman, Wanyan Lie already had no impression of her. There were too many of that kind of woman around. There also had been too many simr women who¡¯d lived in this ce...
Letting Jing De keep a look out above, Wanyan Lie went underground.
He came to the heating warm jade bed. Wanyan Lie looked infatuatedly at the sleeping Wanyan Ming Yue. Before, having a woman to be the cover, he coulde frequently to this Long Autumn pce. Recently, many things had happened. It was the first time he came here in a long time.
¡°Yue er,6 I havee.¡± Holding Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand, Wanyan Lie sat at her side. ¡°Did you miss me? These days, I keep dreaming about you. You¡¯d certainly missed me; that was why you came in my dreams, right?¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue on the warm jade bed only had a serene expression on her face. It seemed that she was listening to Wanyan Lie talking. It also seemed that she didn¡¯t hear anything.
¡°I came to tell you good news! Your daughter has been found! Her name is Feng Qi Qi. Do you think this name is pleasing to the ears? She looks almost exactly like you. It was just, that pair of eyes was very much like Feng Xie¡¯s. The moment I saw Qi Qi, my heart almost stopped. She was simply a replica of you before you had married!¡±
While Wanyan Lie was talking, his chin shook slightly. Even those thin beards shook as if he was suppressing his excitement.
¡°Do you know who she is? She was Murong Qi Qi who¡¯de for a marriage alliance. That bitch Li Qiu Shui took Qi Qi away and raised her as her daughter. She¡¯d calcted very well! She wanted to humiliate Cang er and Qi Qi. How would she know that after I knew that truth, I was eager for them to be together.¡±
¡°In the past, I didn¡¯t grasp my happiness. In the end, I could only watch you be Feng Xie¡¯s bride. This became the forever pain in my heart. Now, such a pain was also torturing these two children. I don¡¯t want our tragedy to y once again.¡±
Recalling the memories of the past, Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression turned painful as if every time he thought about the person he¡¯d missed and the things he¡¯d missed, he would regret and wished time could go back and that everything could be started over.
¡°In this pce, consort De¡¯s eyes are like yours. The empress¡¯s smile is like yours. Noble Lady Zhao¡¯s hair is ck like yours. Lady of Handsome Fairness Zhou likes to eat sweet and sour plum, just like you. The frowning expression of Talented Lady Sun is exactly like yours...On each of them, there¡¯s your shadow. You live through them and have been in my heart.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve raised so many women in Long Autumn pce. I wanted to let them rece you and let me forget you. However, I¡¯ve discovered that I was wrong. I was outrageously wrong. When Qi Qi stood very alive in front of me, my heart felt like it had met spring and resuscitated. She is so much like you, ah! Every smile, every frown is very much like you.¡±
¡°Seeing the tangling love of her and Cang er, it was like I had seen you and me. It was just, these two children are stronger than us! They obviously know they are siblings, but they continue to love. They¡¯re a lot braver than I!¡±
¡°Today, Cang er didn¡¯te to the morning court. The person who went to the wangfu said that Cang er and Qi Qi didn¡¯t return. What do you think they went to do? Yue er, if, I mean if, if they truly love each other, would you support them? I think, I would certainly support them! I don¡¯t want my tragedy to repeat with the children. They didn¡¯t do anything wrong like how there was no wrong with me loving you...¡±
Time went by slowly. Wanyan Lie held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand and rambled a lot. Before he left, he tidied Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair. Finally, he left a kiss on her forehead. Then, he returned to above.
After he came out, Wanyan Lie discovered that it was already afternoon. Jing De shut the door and fixed the seal. The two talented ones left Long Autumn pce with one walking in the front and one in the back.
When they left, a person in ck appeared in Long Autumn pce. Just now, he¡¯d followed Wanyan Lie to here. Only after a long time, did Wanyan Liee out with red eyes.
What kind of mystery was hidden inside here? Feng Xie in ck clothes touched the seal on the door. After thinking for a long time, he looked for a window without a buckle and went inside.
This chamber...
After seeing the furnishings in the chamber, Feng Xie was shocked.
He¡¯d even doubted that he¡¯de to the wrong ce. How could this be the pce? It obviously was Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s boudoir! He and Wanyan Ming Yue were childhood sweethearts. When Wanyan family didn¡¯t get the world yet, he had been to Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s boudoir at Wanyan residence. The furnishings there was exactly the same as here.
Why was it like thus? Feng Xie quickly walked to the bed and looked at everything here. After circling once, Feng Xie was felt even more sure. Right! Everything here, including those white dresses in the closet seemed to be Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s.
What happened? Why was it like this? Could it be that Wanyan Ming Yue didn¡¯t die and had been living in this Long Autumn pce? Why would Wanyan Lie hide Wanyan Ming Yue? Why would he do that?
Feng Xie seemed to have grabbed some clues, but these clues were so vague that he couldn¡¯t get them right. He carefully inspected the area once and didn¡¯t find any problems. However, just now, he saw Wanyan Lie enter and then exit from here. Could it be that he¡¯d onlye to sit for a while?
Not letting Feng Xie think anymore, he¡¯d heard the voice of a little pce maid outside. Feng Xie went to the window and saw that it was two little pce maids. One was in pink and one was in green.
¡°Big sister, where do you think consort Yue went to hide? It has been so long, why has she still not captured? Could it be that she grew wings and flew away?¡± The pce maid in pink looked young, about thirteen to fourteen years.
¡°Hush! Lower your voice. Aren¡¯t you afraid that someone would hear?!¡± The pce maid in green did a gesture of silence. Obviously, they¡¯d sneaked from the busy affairs and got a little freedom to chat.
¡°No one would hear! His majesty and eunuch Jing De have just left. Now, no one woulde here. Big sister, I heard consort Yue was very beautiful. She got the emperor¡¯s favor very much and was the most favored one out of the six pces. Why would she cut off her future and attempt to assassinate the emperor?¡±
While mentioning Yue Lan Zhi, the pce maid in pink¡¯s expression turned mysterious. Right now, the matter of Yue Lan Zhi was a popr topic. The whole capital had been turned over, but they didn¡¯t find Yue Lan Zhi. This person seemed to have disappeared into thin air and be a mystery.
¡°I tell you, what you hear in this pce is false. What you see with the eyes is also false. Many imperial noble consorts have died in this Long Autumn pce. Many servants have also died here. It¡¯s said that this Long Autumn pce is haunted! From time to time, you can hear the crying voice of a female ghost...¡±
1. Jianghu: world of martial arts
2. Wangye: prince of first rank
3. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
4. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
5. Gongzi: young master
6. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 136 Lover’s night (2)
Chapter 136 Lover¡¯s night (2)
¡°Don¡¯t scare me, ah!¡± Hearing the pce maid in green say that, the pce maid in pink¡¯s face turned a bit pale. She grasped the clothes around her neckline and looked around.
¡°What I said is the truth! From beginning till now, eight imperial noble consorts have died here. After noble consort Yue disappeared, everyone from Long Autumn pce were arrested and killed. It seemed like one of the pce maids serving noble consort Yue had run to the empress dowager and asked for the empress dowager to save her. In the end, a thrashing from the empress dowager beat her to death!¡±
¡°Wow, really?! Didn¡¯t the empress dowager always abstain from eating meat, prayed to the Buddha and had a very good heart?! Why was it like this?!¡± The pce maid covered her mouth with a disbelieving look on her face.
¡°You, ah!¡± The fingers of the pce maid in green poked the forehead of the person opposite her. ¡°To be able to survive in this pce, who is really kindhearted?! How many times have I told you, if you want to survive in this pce, you need to pretend to be blind, deaf and mute! You must remember!¡±
¡°Mm! Big sister, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±
It turned out that these two pce maids were a pair of sisters. When they left, Feng Xie immediately sprung out and left Long Autumn pce.
The words of the two sisters continued to echo in Feng Xie¡¯s ears. What kind of secret was there in Long Autumn pce? Why was everything in the chamber the same as Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s boudoir? What kind of secret was there inside this?
All the problems were stacked up together, making Feng Xie unable to find the door inside this. It was just, thinking about what the little pce maid had said just now, once someone had begged the empress dowager for help. Feng Xie quietly went to Jinxuan pce, wanting to find some clues from there.
Inside Jinxuan pce, the old empress dowager was just having a lunch break. She was a bit happy because of yesterday¡¯s birthday banquet and yed for a while more. Today, it was difficult for her to manage.
After drinking tea, Dongfang Lanfortably let out a sigh. She held Little Snow and gentlybed her hairs.
¡°Qing Gu, how¡¯s Chun Xing?¡±
¡°The injuries on her body are almost healed. Chun Xing is grateful that miss saved her and also let this ve bring her kowtow for miss.¡±
¡°Forget the kowtow. Let her take good care of the injuries and thene see aijia.1 Recently, aijia¡¯s eyelids have been jumping badly and aijia doesn¡¯t know what it means. It¡¯s just the right time to let Chun Xinge and exin the matter of Long Autumn pce to aijia, so that aijia has an understanding about what kind of things have happened inside that pce in recent years.¡±
Speaking till here, Dongfang Lan thought about Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang.
¡°Ay, when aijia saw Cang er¡¯s2 expression, he didn¡¯t get his heart back from Qi Qi. Qing Gu, ah, what should be done?! Cang er likes Qi Qi so much. Now, they happened to have the rtion of siblings. These two children really let people¡¯s hearts ache for them. It was just, in the end, blood rtions shouldn¡¯t be mixed. If they go on like this, aijia is worried, ah...¡±
Hearing Dongfang Lan¡¯s voice once again, Feng Xie¡¯s eyes got warm. He couldn¡¯t forget how mother-inw treated him and Wanyan Ming Yue in the past. If he said that in this pce, there was still someone he trusts, then that person would only be Dongfang Lan.
After all, a tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs. Dongfang Lan only has a daughter Wanyan Ming Yue. Naturally, she would love her.
A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs: even wild beasts look after their young
Thinking till here, Feng Xie took advantage of the fact that no one was around and entered the chamber. He found some ink and wrote a few words. He folded it and put it in an envelope. After he came out, Feng Xie quietly whistled.
¡°Woof!¡± Little Snow¡¯s ears were more sensitivepared to humans. The whistle that humans couldn¡¯t hear, she could hear.
Immediately, Little Snow jumped down from Dongfang Lan¡¯s arms. She spread her four legs and ran out.
¡°Little Snow!¡± Seeing that the small dog had run away, Dongfang Lan stood up. ¡°Qing Gu, quickly, go find Little Snow quickly!¡±
When Qing Gu found Little Snow, Little Snow was returning. Something was dangling from her mouth. Looking at it closely, it turned out to be a letter. Qing Gu quickly looked around, but she didn¡¯t see anyone. In the end, she took the envelope out of Little Snow¡¯s mouth. She put Little Snow in her arms and went back inside Jinxuan pce.
¡°What is this?¡± Seeing the letter in Qing Gu¡¯s hand, Dongfang Lan frowned.
¡°When this ve saw Little Snow, this thing was dangling from Little Snow¡¯s mouth. From this ve¡¯s point of view, someone must¡¯ve take advantage of this opportunity to tell you something.¡±
Dongfang Lan took the letter from Qing Gu. She opened it. Only a few words were on it.
¡°Wanyan Ming Yue had died unjustly.¡±
¡®Bang...¡¯ Dongfang Lan knocked over the tea cup in her hand. The tea spread on the table. In the end, it dropped on Dongfang Lan.
Dongfang Lan was familiar with the handwriting of the letter. It¡¯s Feng Xie¡¯s handwriting. Could it be that Feng Xie didn¡¯t die? Could it be that he¡¯s still alive? Then what about her Ming Yue? Since Feng Xie is alive, why didn¡¯t hee see her? Why did he say that Ming Yue had died unjustly? What happened fifteen years ago? What let Feng Xie not dare to show up?
Dongfang Lan¡¯s lips trembled slightly. She didn¡¯t dare believe the contents of this letter. If the contents of this letter were true and Wanyan Ming Yue had truly died unjustly, then what had happened at Yandang mountain that year?
¡°Miss, miss, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Sensing Dongfang Lan¡¯s strangeness, Qing Gu quickly went forward to support Dongfang Lan. When she saw the words on the letter in Dongfang Lan¡¯s hand, Qing Gu was surprised.
¡°Why is it like this? Who wrote this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Feng Xie.¡± Dongfang Lan held back her tears and once again looked at that sentence on the letter. That¡¯s right, this was Feng Xie¡¯s handwriting. In the past, it was Feng Xie who¡¯d used such beautiful handwriting to write letters to her Wanyan Ming Yue.
At that time, her Ming Yue was still a girl and not yet married. Every day, they would correspond by letter. One time, the two had a fallout. Wanyan Ming Yue burned these letters. It was her, this mother, who pulled these letters out of the brazier. It was that time that she saw Feng Xie¡¯s letters and also remembered Feng Xie¡¯s handwriting. The handwriting was handsome and beautiful like him.
¡°What? Great general is still alive?¡± This news was truly too shocking. Qing Gu covered her mouth. She then carefully read the contents of the letter. ¡°Miss, since great general is alive, why didn¡¯t he show up and would use such a way to tell you?¡±
What Qing Gu said was what Dongfang Lan had been thinking about. Only a little whileter, did Dongfang Lan recover her reason from grief.
It was too shocking that Feng Xie was still alive. However, he was alive, but he didn¡¯te to see her. This only meant one thing. That is, it was like what was written in the letter, that Ming Yue felt injustice, and he also felt injustice. And the person who didn¡¯t pass the judgement on the war at Yandang mountain until the lid was on the coffin, was Wanyan Lie. It¡¯s not that Feng Xie didn¡¯t show up. It was that he didn¡¯t dare to show up!
¡°Qing Gu, burn Feng Xie¡¯s letter.¡± At this time, on Dongfang Lan¡¯s face appeared an unprecedented killing intent, making Qing Gu feel startled. It seemed as if this empress dowager was amiable looking for a very long time. She hadn¡¯t seen such a Dongfang Lan for many years.
However, talking about it, born from a general¡¯s family, then apanying Wanyan Zhi to the battle at the south, how could this empress dowager be someone mediocre?!
After Qing Gu burned the letter, she returned to Dongfang Lan¡¯s side, ¡°Miss, what should we do?¡±
¡°Investigate...¡±
¡°However, miss, that year when it happened, didn¡¯t our people already investigate and didn¡¯t find anything, ah!¡±
¡°Investigate Li Qiu Shui! Before, Li Qiu Shui said that Ming Yue had given her Qi Qi. Why would Li Qiu Shui be at Yandang mountain? What did she have to do at Yandang Mountain? Aijia wants to know all of this. Aijia wants to know everything about Li Qiu Shui!¡±
Although Dongfang Lan had tried to keep herself sober-minded, but everything had muddled in front of her and she couldn¡¯t see the end of it. She didn¡¯t know what to do. The only thing that Dongfang could grab on to was the matter of Li Qiu Shui.
She vaguely felt that this Li Qiu Shui wasn¡¯t a simple person. Then, did Li Qiu Shui also participate in the matter of that year? Since Feng Xie felt injustice, naturally this matter wasn¡¯t that simple. Li Qiu Shui, a woman, what kind of perilous situation could she cause? There was definitely someone behind her who¡¯d supported her. It was just, who was this supporting person? Could it be him...That was why Feng Xie didn¡¯t dare to show up?
Inside the pce, an undercurrent was quietly surging. This didn¡¯t seem to affect the lovers at Lion Ridge.
When Murong Qi Qi woke up from hunger, she had already left the bed and was sitting in Feng Cang¡¯s embrace. In front of her was a table full of food.
¡°Awake?¡± Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. In his eyes was a pampering love, ¡°Hungry? I¡¯ll feed you!¡±
¡°Its better that I do it myself!¡± Feeling that on her body was only a thin, singleyer of clothes, Murong Qi Qi blushed and wanted to leave Feng Cang¡¯s arms. However, when she moved, she couldn¡¯t help but shout: ¡°Aiya.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Feng Cang put down the chopsticks and looked concerned at Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Qing Qing, are you feeling unwell somewhere?¡±
How could Murong Qi Qi answer this question? Now, her whole body ached. She wanted to get up, but her legs went soft. She could only fall back in Feng Cang¡¯s embrace. Seeing the concern in Feng Cang¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qi blushed. She didn¡¯t speak. Feng Cang became even more anxious.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is it...that it still hurts?¡±
These words from Feng Cang made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turn redder. Thinking about the hotness ofst night, she buried her head in Feng Cang¡¯s arms and refused to raise it.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s performance let Feng Cang immediately guess the inner thoughts of this little woman. He tightly hugged Murong Qi Qi and chuckled, ¡°You and I are already husband and wife, howe Qing Qing is still so shy?¡¯
¡°Is it not because of you?!¡± Murong Qi Qi spoke in a low muffled voice in Feng Cang¡¯s arms while ining¡¯. It was just, the slight sweetness in theint let the feelings of these two people get closer.
¡°It¡¯s entirely my fault! Although I always wanted to restrain myself, but Qing Qing, you¡¯re too delicious...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak anymore!¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head. Her small hand covered Feng Cang¡¯s mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t say it out loud!¡±
Seeing the shyness in Murong Qi qi¡¯s beautiful eyes, Feng Cang stuck his tongue out and circled once on her palm, making Murong Qi Qi¡¯s palm feel a burst of numbness. She quickly took her hand from his mouth.
¡°Cang, you learned the bad things!¡± Hearing the coquettish protest of the woman in his arms, Feng Cang¡¯s mood was very good. He was just about to kiss Murong Qi Qi, but heard a burst of ¡®googoo¡¯ sounds from her belly. He looked once again. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head was almost to the ground.
¡°Come, I¡¯ll feed you!¡± Knowing that his little wangfei3 was thin-skinned, Feng Cang didn¡¯t tease her any longer. Instead, he fed Murong Qi Qi, bite by bite.
Don¡¯t know why, probably because she was really hungry and also very tired; that¡¯s why Murong Qi Qi ate two bowls of rice.
Touching her bulging belly, Murong Qi Qi revealed a satisfied smile. Only now did she discover that Feng Cang hadn¡¯t even eaten one bite. She looked at the dishes on the table. Many of them had been eaten by her. Only ¡®cold leftovers¡¯ were left. Murong Qi Qiughed embarrassingly.
¡°That, do you want them to bring more? I was too hungry and ate it all.¡±
¡°No need. These are enough!¡±
After feeding Murong Qi Qi, he ate three bowls of rice with soup.
Seeing Feng Cang devour the food ravenously, it was really difficult for Murong Qi Qi to link this person in front of her to the usually graceful man. Seeing Murong Qi Qi with a look of surprise and slightly open mouth, Feng Cang revealed a smile which was able to bewilder people to death.
¡°What, is it that the more you look, the more you feel that your eyes are good and you¡¯ve found a good man?¡±
Seeing Feng Cang acting so cheeky, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but stick out her tongue. ¡°It¡¯s not that! It¡¯s just that I¡¯m used to seeing an elegant young master. asionally seeing your abnormal side makes me scared.¡±
¡°Haha, so, in Qing Qing¡¯s heart, I¡¯m an elegant young master!¡± After putting down the bowl and cleansing his mouth, Feng Cang put his chin on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair. His heart was filled with happiness.
In the past, he¡¯d never thought about such things. He didn¡¯t dare to think and also couldn¡¯t imagine it. Now, the person he loves was in his arms, shared a bed with him, shared a meal with him; such times were so beautiful. Feng Cang wished that he could always immerse himself in this happiness and never wake up from it!
¡°In the past when I led the army, we often ate like this. Sometimes, in the wild, we could only eat dry food. After the dry food was finished, we¡¯ll eat wild vegetables. Sometimes, we could catch a prey and would eat meat. As for vegetables and fruits, those were a luxury. I¡¯m a general. The treatment was a lot better. However, those soldiers were having a very hard time. They often boiled wild vegetables. Those days were very difficult to let people miss them...¡±
Following Feng Cang¡¯s description, Murong Qi Qi seemed to see the Feng Cang who once swiftly swayed his sword like a young god. How mighty was that? So, this man had such an experience. It seemed that what she usually saw was just a part of him. She needed to dig to see more parts of him.
¡°Now, there is no war. After returning to the capital, and living like a prince for a long time, I becamezy and turned into an elegant young master!¡±
Hearing the faintyer of reminisce from Feng Cang¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi put her hand into Feng Cang¡¯s palm. ¡°Cang, howe I can hear from your words that you particrly want to fight in a war...¡±
¡°A good man would aspire to travel and make one¡¯s mark. As long as you¡¯re a warm blooded wolf, you would wish to gallop through the battlefield and cast an ambition. I¡¯m a man amongst men. Naturally, I¡¯m no exception!¡±
Murong Qi Qi could understand Feng Cang. Feng Cang, who had been raised at Feng Xie¡¯s side, naturally he was influenced from young. Presumably, since he¡¯s young, he saw Feng Xie as his idol and wanted to be a great general and fill the battlefield with blood!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything for half a day. Feng Cang thought that she had been scared by his thoughts. He immediately teased her to happiness, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Now, I have you and won¡¯t only think about those fighting and killing things. I want to protect you, protect our children. You¡¯re my everything and the person I want to protect!¡±
While talking, Feng Cang put his hand on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s belly. Seeing him like this, Murong Qi Qi became shy, ¡°We still don¡¯t know when we¡¯ll get a baby! Cang, do you like a boy or a girl?¡±
¡°I like them all! As long as they¡¯re our children!¡± While talking, Feng Cang¡¯s hand began to not be so honest. Across the thinyer of clothes, he began to explore Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body.
When that numb feeling came, Murong Qi Qi screamed lightly. She quickly grabbed Feng Cang dishonest hand. ¡°Cang, now, it¡¯s daytime...Perhaps Su Yue already went to Wu Ji Gong. We still don¡¯t know what the result is...¡±
¡°In this world, there¡¯s already no Wu Ji Gong...¡±
After experiencing the night before, Feng Cang was a lot more skilled. In only two steps, he removed her thinyer of clothes and revealed a beautifulndscape. That beautifulndscape stimted Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, making his originally sleeping body immediately wake up, begin to stir and eager to give it a try.
¡°Don¡¯t ...during daytime, it¡¯s too shameful...¡± Murong Qi Qi wanted to push him away, but Feng Cang lowered his head and bit her delicate corbone. Here was originally white. After one lingering night, it had been filled with red stars.
¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful...,¡± Feng Cang whispered. ¡°Really so beautiful...no matter how I eat, I can¡¯t be full...¡±
1. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
Chapter 137 A plot to be exposed (1)
Chapter 137 A plot to be exposed (1)
How would Murong Qi Qi know that in just one night, originally those things called ¡®pureness¡¯ on Feng Cang¡¯s body had been reced by a ¡®wolf¡¯s nature¡¯. After being a vegetarian for a long time and experiencing meat for the first time, how would he still know the taste of pak choi and radish...?
Outside the garret, people looked at the sky or counted the ants or walked back and forth or knocked on the trunk with a stick. They had nothing to do. They had been like this for several days.
The masters of both sides hadn¡¯t shown their faces for five days already. They had been in the garret for all these time, making these people felt like they¡¯ve lost their pirs. Nn Xin squatted on the floor. These past few days, Su Yue still had a cold face, making him in a very gloomy mood.
¡°Why is master still noting out, ah?!¡± Now, Nn Xin was waiting for Feng Cang toe out and help him justify himself. However, he waited for several days and Feng Cang didn¡¯t show his face. It was Su Mei who sent the food to the door. No one saw the two involved parties. Such a thing was really very rare.
What Nn Xin said was what these people were thinking.
It¡¯s already been five days that Feng Cang didn¡¯t attend the morning court. Before, he put the tes where he already eaten from to the outside of the door. On the tes was a piece of paper where was written to let someone go to the pce and ask for half a month of leave from Wanyan Lie. At that moment, it was like thunder struck everyone and they almost fainted then. Could it be that these two masters were nning on noting out for half a month? Wasn¡¯t that a bit too capable of enduring?
¡°When they¡¯re full, they¡¯lle out,¡± Jin Mo¡¯s full voice spread to everyone¡¯s ears. After hearing these words, the men looked at the sky and the women blushed. No one said anything more.
To find medicine for Feng Cang, Jin Mo left the capital for some time. When he returned, everything changed. Fortunately, Feng Cang took medicine every day. This was already pretty good. If he forgot his body because of love, Jin Mo certainly wouldn¡¯t have been so calm.
One more day passed, Murong Qi Qi opened her eyes and yawned. Every day when she opened her eyes, it would be daytime. Murong Qi Qi already didn¡¯t know how long it had been like this.
¡°Cang...,¡± Murong Qi Qi called, but discovered her voice was very hoarse. She quickly covered her mouth.
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to get up, Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face came over and kissed her lips. A sweet and cool water went from his mouth into her lips.
¡°Drink some water, then your voice wouldn¡¯t be so hoarse!¡±
Malva nut, mint, honey...These were the things Murong Qi Qi tasted from the water. After drinking it, her throat indeed felt a lot better.
¡°What time is it?¡± Murong Qi Qi wanted to get up, but she discovered that her body was limp, painful, and weak. Seeing her like this, Feng Cang directly wrapped her with a nket. The, he picked her up and came to the already prepared big barrel at a side.
Above the big barrel float red flower petals. There was also a smell of herbals. Feng Cang carefully put Murong Qi Qi into the big barrel. The temperature was somewhat hot, but it was a veryfortable hotness.
After entering the water, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s whole body was wrapped by warm water. It was like going back into a mother¡¯s womb. It was loosely soft; sofortable that she couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi surrounding by water, Feng Cang chuckled. He took a nnel and began to bath Murong Qi Qi.
¡°I¡¯ll do it myself!¡±
¡°You¡¯re tired. Take a rest first. Now, it¡¯s my time to serve you!¡± Feng Cang tapped Murong Qi Qi¡¯s nose and gently eased her tibia.
Feng Cang¡¯s strength was just right. Those sore ces became more and morefortable under his hands. It was a lot morefortable than when she bathed herself. Murong Qi Qi simply closed her eyes and didn¡¯t refuse anymore. She enjoyed Feng Cang¡¯s gentleness and let him help her massage. After all, all the soreness on her body were the good things he did!
¡°Sofortable! Mm, right there! Right, the left shoulder hurts so much. Massage it more...Cang, it would be so great if we could go on a honeymoon...¡±
Maybe it was toofortable, in the end, Murong Qi Qi fell asleep in the water. Seeing thepletelyck of guarding appearance of this little woman, Feng Cang gently cleaned her body. He also dried her hair. In the end, he took her back to bed and covered her with the nket.
The people who waited for a long time, finally heard a ¡®squeak¡¯ sound from the door opening. Feng Cang came out, but they didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Congrattions wangye!1 Wangye seems refreshed and yourplexion looks good!¡± Jin Mo was the first one to speak. His plexion looks good¡¯ led everyone to go look at Feng Cang¡¯s face. Indeed, he had a smile on his face and he was full of vigor. It seemed that this time, wangye got his wishes and really got a taste.
¡°You returned...¡± Feng Cang only looked once at Jin Mo. Then he went to Su Mei and Su Yue. ¡°I ask you, what is honeymoon?¡±
¡°Honeymoon?¡± The moment Su Mei and Su Yue heard that, theyughed. It turned out that guye 2 wanted to ask this. Miss definitely said this.
¡°Wangye, honeymoon is when a couple go on a scenic tour and spend time together after they married.¡±
When Su Yue exined what ¡®honeymoon¡¯ is, Nn Xin at a side, carefully listened and remembered it.
¡°Go on a scenic tour? Spend time together? Very good.¡± Just the thought that he and Murong Qi Qi spending time alone and away from the earthly chaos; this was indeed not a bad thing.
Not showing up for a few days, Feng Cang made some time to deal with all the things that stacked up. After that, he had been thinking about this honeymoon thing. Although, he didn¡¯t have much time, but he still had ten days or half a month.
When Murong Qi Qi woke up once again, she was already in a small carriage. And the coachman was actually Feng Cang.
¡°Cang...¡±
¡°Qing Qing, there¡¯s food in the carriage. Eat some to fill your stomach. When we reach the ce, I¡¯ll cook for you!¡± Feng Cang was skilled at driving the carriage. While lying in the carriage, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t find any difort.
¡°Where are we going?¡±
¡°Honeymoon!¡±
The location Feng ang selected for the honeymoon was a ce simr to a small town in Jiangnan. A tiny bridge, flowing brook, and cottages. A wriggling river split the small town in two. At the sides of the river were weeping willows. When the wind blew, the willows swung slightly. It was a very beautiful ce.
¡°Do you like it?¡± Feng Cang put his arm around Murong Qi Qi¡¯s slender waist and let her lean on him. Without those servants following, they were like any ordinary couple. Feng Cang was still in white. Murong Qi Qi changed into a red dress.
¡°I like it! It¡¯s so beautiful here!¡±
Murong Qi Qi looked at the clear water. There were many beautiful pebbles inside it. One by one, theyy quietly on the ground of the river. Floating above the river were small fishes. They were only the size of beans. One group here, one group there. asionally, someone walked over. These fished would then immediately scatter.
The arrival of the two let the quiet town be lively for a long moment.
From their point of view, this couple were like they walked out of a painting. The man was enchanting like a demon. The woman was pure like a fairy. Originally, a demon and a fairy were ipatible, but these two being together were exceptionallypatible.
¡°Such a beautiful girl, ah! Look, between her eyebrows, there¡¯s a buddha mole!¡±
Murong Qi Qi saw that the old aunty descried her cinnabar mole as a buddha mole, she couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. This chuckle made everyone dazed. Really a pair of beautiful people!
Feng Cang took Murong Qi Qi to the only inn in town. Because the small town was at a remote ce, there were few people who woulde here. So, this inn was particrly tranquil. It looked like it only had Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi as guests.
After throwing a few golden beans at the inn¡¯s owner, Feng Cang directly borrowed their kitchen. Fortunately, the kitchen had vegetables, fresh meat and bacon. Feng Cang pulled up his sleeves and began to wash the vegetables.
¡°Cang! You¡¯re going to cook for me?¡± Seeing the appearance of Feng Cang with an apron around him, Murong Qi Qi was so surprised that her mouth was wide open. She couldn¡¯t imagine that the pampered Feng Cang could cook and that it was for her.
¡°Qing Qing, this husband can do a lot of things!¡± Feng Cang came over and lightly touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. ¡°You must be very hungry! Wait a bit, this husband will cook for you!¡±
After hearing Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi moved a small bench over and sat on it. She stared at Feng Cang; looking at him wash vegetables and cut the meat skilfully. Feng Cang¡¯s weapon was a sword. That was why, his knife skills were excellent. Looking at him cook, was like looking at a stuntman. A potato was thrown in the air by Feng Cang. When itnded on the te, it had already be fine like hair potato shreds.
¡°Excellent!¡± Murong Qi Qi apuded at a side. And Feng Cang¡¯s mouth went upwards because of an ¡®excellent¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi and revealed a beautiful curve.
It was said that a busy man in the kitchen was the most attractive. Murong Qi Qi finally understood this sentence.
Like Feng Cang now; spotless white clothes. A x colored apron on his waist. He made fire and chopped the bacon into walnut size. He put it in the casserole, added water and began the stew the meat. Then, he began to prepare the side dishes. It seemed like he wanted to make hotpot for Murong Qi Qi.
Great! Murong Qi Qi supported her chin. On her face was a smile from happiness. She was very d that she could meet the right person at the right moment. It wasn¡¯t too early nor toote. It was at the right moment, that she met Feng Cang and became his woman.
When Feng Cang came with a delicious hotpot to Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi took a deep breath. ¡°Smells good, ah! Cang, you¡¯re so awesome!¡±
¡°Of course! Fortunately, a man¡¯s standard is to be good at cooking and housekeeping. These were Qing Qing¡¯s words. I have always remembered them! Didn¡¯t a certain person say that at these times, to seize a woman¡¯s heart, you need to seize a woman¡¯s stomach?! Come, have a taste...¡± Feng Cang picked up a small piece of meat and fed it into Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth.
¡°Delicious?¡± Feng Cang had been watching Murong Qi Qi, wanting to know her evaluation.
After a long time, Murong Qi Qi sighed, ¡°Really a delicacy of the human realm! Cang, I love you so much! You tell me, howe I¡¯m so lucky?! The husband I found is so handsome, have so much abilities and also can cook. I¡¯m the happiest woman in this world!¡±
Murong Qi Qi held Feng Cang so highly made this man burst with joy. On the surface, he still maintained his image of man. ¡°If you like it, I¡¯ll cook it often, good?¡±
¡°Good!¡± The Murong Qi Qi who had been so hungry began to take action. After having a meal, Murong Qi Qi snuggled satisfied in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. She also burped lightly. ¡°Happiness, ah!¡±
This ¡®happiness¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi also represented Feng Cang¡¯s heart. It turned out, happiness was so simple.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi hid in the small town to spend their honeymoon. In the capital, something happened that would have a great impact. Crown princess Yu Shi Shi got and acute disease and died from it.
A crown princess was the future mother of a country. The sudden death of Yu Shi Shi made the whole capital fill with a strange atmosphere. (TLNote: When was the atmosphere not strange in this capital?)
Before, there was a rumor which said, ¡°Getting princess Zhen Guo, getting the country¡±. Two days (figuratively) hadn¡¯t passed and the crown princess died. Could it be that this crown princess died at the crown prince¡¯s hand? Could it be that crown prince wanted to vacate the ce next to him and wanted to make Feng Qi Qi crown princess?
While the people were trying the figure the death of the crown princess out. However, Wanyan Hong continued to enjoy the taste of the pair of sisters, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Murong Qing Lian inside the East pce. The dynasty, he wanted it. The beauties, he also wanted them.
Since getting Murong Qing Lian, Wanyan Hong captivated her back into the East pce. He also let people bring Wanyan Bao Zhu frequently over to the East pce. At every turn, he would have a threesome, making the whole East pce in a foul atmosphere. However, everyone knew that the crown prince was like this. They were afraid of the crown prince¡¯s viciousness. So, no one told the emperor.
As for Wanyan Bao Zhu, at first, she felt very disgusted and disgraceful towards Wanyan Hong¡¯s behavior. However, since being publicity rejected by Longze Jing Tian, Wanyan Bao Zhu had nothing to lose. She threw herself into Wanyan Hong¡¯s arms. At least, he had a lot of tricks. At least, there were times where she also had a man.
Compared to Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s abandoning herself, Murong Qing Lian waspletely forced.
She hated this man who stole her innocence. She also hated Wanyan Bao Zhu, the person who designed to bring cmity to her. However, the Murong household behind her, because of Murong Tai¡¯s death, turned into smoke. She didn¡¯t have a backing. Longze Jing Tian also never asked about her. After being controlled by Wanyan Hong, she could only crawl at his feet and was petty and low like a ve.
¡°Imperial big brother, do you really want to marry Feng Qi Qi?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t like that?¡±
With the beauty serving, he only needed to enjoy. This was a veryfortable thing for Wanyan Hong.
¡°Imperial big brother, that woman has too deep thoughts!¡±
Hearing Wanyan Bao Zhu say that, Wanyan Hong grinned and revealed a gloomy smile. ¡°No matter how deep the thoughts are, she¡¯s just a woman! Could it be that she could turn the sky over?!¡±
¡°However...however, if imperial big brother has her, you would give me the cold shoulder...¡±
Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words were quite to Wanyan Hong¡¯s taste. His hand left Murong Qing Lian and grasped Wanyan Bao Zhu, ¡°Did you fall in love with this crown prince?¡±
Although Wanyan Hong¡¯s eyes were beautiful, but it was that trace of gloominess made him had a hazy taste. However, this didn¡¯t affect Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s infatuation towards him. Hearing Wanyan Hong say that, Wanyan Bao Zhuy well-behaved on top of him, ¡°That¡¯s right. I fell in love with you!¡±
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Wanyan Hongughed. He suddenly left Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s body and stood up.
¡°Imperial big brother...¡± Wanyan Bao Zhu looked confused at Wanyan Hong. She didn¡¯t know why he suddenly stopped. Could it be that it was because she did bad?
Wanyan Bao Zhu didn¡¯t let her imagination run wild for long, Wanyan Hong suddenly turned her over and pressured her **... (TLNote: don¡¯t ask me what the two stars mean, because I don¡¯t know and have no intention of inquiring)
¡°Say, say you love this crown prince! This crown likes this sentence!¡±
¡°I love you!¡±
The two immersed in their world as if there were no one else.
Although, recently she was used to seeing these perverted siblings¡¯ perverted behavior, but seeing them like this once again, Murong Qing Lian still couldn¡¯t ept it. While these two forgot themselves while ying, Murong Qing Lian quietly stood up and touched arge vase. She quietly came behind Wanyan Hong.
¡®Bang.¡¯ Murong Qing Lian fiercely hit the porcin vase on Wanyan Hong¡¯s head.
¡°Bitch!¡± Being hit by a heavy object, he only felt a warm thing flow down his head. Only when he touched it, did he know that it was blood.
¡°You...¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Hong to turn around, Murong Qing Lian used all the strength of her whole body; with one palm, she chopped at Wanyan Hong¡¯s neck. Immediately, Wanyan Hong went soft and fell on Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s body.
¡°Ah...,¡± After her whole face was sprayed by Wanyan Hong¡¯s blood, Wanyan Bao Zhu screamed. This scream alerted the people on the outside.
Talking about it, it was a coincidence.
This day, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t notify anyone and only took Jing De. The two came to the East pce. The more the rumors about the cause of Yu Shi Shi¡¯s death were, the more powerful those rumors became. Even he, in this deep pce, heard the problem inside the cause of death. So, he personally came to understand the situation.
When he arrived at the East pce, Wanyan Lie took a look at Yu Shi Shi¡¯s mourning hall and coffin containing the corpse. It was quite decent. Wanyan Lie even nodded. Until when he asked about the crown prince, these pce servants began to look left and right while speaking to him.
Although, he knew that his son was somewhat a bastard, but after all, he (WH) was his blood and flesh. So, usually Wanyan Lie also turned a blind eye.
However, now the crown princess is gone. No one actually knew where the crown prince went. Where was the affection between husband and wife? How could such a cold and heartless person be a country¡¯s emperor? This let Wanyan Lie be a bit bitterly disappointed. Seeing these people speak evasively, how could Wanyan Lie really not know the problem? He immediately berated those people who wanted to go notify Wanyan Hong. He personally went to the crown prince¡¯s quarters.
When he arrived, he heard a scream.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes turned strict. No one dared to say anything. Wanyan Lie directly kicked the door. When he entered, he saw the extremely vulgar scene.
Yu Shi Shi just passed away. Wanyan Hong as her husband actually sought pleasure with another woman. If this matter got out, how would the people think about the crown prince? How would they go look at the future emperor?
¡°Bastard!¡± Wanyan Lie went forward and pulled Wanyan Hong. He raised his hand and gave him two ps. When he saw Wanyan Bao Zhu, Wanyan Liepletely fainted.
What is going on? His son and his daughter actually did such an illicit thing in the East pce?
The thing he saw in front of him was like a thunder which beat Wanyan Liepletely, making him nkly.
¡°Emperor father, spare me!¡± When Wanyan Bao Zhu saw the Wanyan Lie in the dragon robe in front of her, she was also scared. She immediately picked her clothes to cover her body. Trembling she climbed to the ground and knelt in front of Wanyan Lie, ¡°Emperor father, spare me! It¡¯s, it¡¯s imperial big brother who forced me!¡±
Wanyan Hong was drowsy because his head was hit by a heavy object. Wanyan Lie¡¯s ps were also ruthless andpletely made him faint. So, he didn¡¯t hear Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s words. If he heard them, he would fly into a rage. Just now, she kept repeating I love you. Now, she pushed everything on him. This woman was too low!
¡°You, you...¡± Hearing Wanyan Bao Zhu say that, Wanyan Lie had a burst of dizziness. Jing De quickly went forward and supported Wanyan Lie, ¡°Emperor, emperor...¡±
After a long while did Wanyan Lie became sober. ¡°Servants, close this animal up! And also them...¡± Wanyan Lie pointed at Wanyan Bao Zhu and Murong Qing Lian. ¡°Close them all up! Zhen3 will personally interrogate!¡±
Don¡¯t know who leaked the news about the crown prince and his imperial little sister¡¯s incestuous matter. It only took one afternoon for this news to spread to the whole capital. Before, the people were still talking about the cause of the crown princess¡¯s death. Now, they were shocked by this explosive news.
This imperial scandal pushed Wanyan Hong to the peak of the rumors. Many people ¡®cleverly¡¯ discovered the ¡®truth¡¯. Everyone thought that it must be the crown princess who encountered these siblings illicit matter. That was why she was murdered by crown prince Wanyan Hong to silence her.
For a time, in all the street of the capital circted the story of Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Bao Zhu. Themoners had infinite fantasies in their head about how this crown prince produced clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another with his imperial little sister. And how they were caught in act by the emperor.
Produced clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another: to make love
Inside Jinxin hall, Wanyan Yi smiled, ¡°Consort mother, how did you know crown prince and imperial little sister had an affair?¡±
¡°Haha, I could see it! Bengong 4 sat in this ce for such a long time. What kind of people have I not seen? What kind of things have I not experienced? Before, when the two of them came to the pce, the way Bao Zhu looked at Wanyan Hong wasn¡¯t the same. Bengong let someone go inquire. Recently, princess Bao Zhu run every day to the East pce.¡±
¡°Bao Zhu was arrogant and willful since young and they found each other disagreeable. However, since the tournament of the four countries, when she came back from Yongzhou, she had been somewhat strange. Besides, she got closer and closer to Wanyan Hong. The person bengong sent said that princess often stayed overnight at the East pce. You tell me, what kind of good thing could this be?!¡±
After hearing Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Yi revealed a deep smile. ¡°This time, thanks to consort mother. If this was not the case, this subject son wouldn¡¯t have been able to pull the crown prince down. Incest between siblings, with just this, he couldn¡¯t be the crown prince.¡±
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
3. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
4.Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family
Chapter 138 A plot to be exposed (2)
Chapter 138 A plot to be exposed (2)
¡°Yi er,1 if the crown prince isn¡¯t deposed, then you wouldn¡¯t be able to be at ease. Only when he truly falls from power would we be able to celebrate.¡±
Seeing the happiness of her son, Lin Ke Xin couldn¡¯t help but point that out. ¡°Not only can you not be happy. Instead, you must pretend to be concerned. You also need to plead for your imperial big brother and leave a good impression in front of your emperor father. Having the two topare, your emperor father naturally will understand who is the most appropriate heir to the throne in the end.¡±
¡°Yes! This subject son thanks consort mother¡¯s teachings!¡± Although he was saying that, but inside Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart, he was indeed very happy. In the past, Wanyan Hong relied on his status as the crown prince and gave him a hard time. Now, it¡¯s great. He actually came with an incest between siblings and was caught in the act by emperor father. It seemed that he wouldn¡¯t be able to turn his fortune any longer.
How could Lin Ke Xin not know her son¡¯s thoughts. She couldn¡¯t help but be worried. Although Wanyan Yi performed well, but he was still somewhat immature. When meeting with unexpected things, he was unable to remain calm. However, with her, this consort mother covering him, she definitely wouldn¡¯t let this throne fall into another¡¯s hand.
¡°That¡¯s right, Yi er, what has your little brother been doing recently?¡±
¡°Before, ah Kang had been frequently running to Nan Lin wangfu.2 These days, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi are not there. So he mostly stayed at his pce and didn¡¯t go anywhere.¡±
Mentioning this yboy and ipetent little brother, Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but sh disdain. Although he and Wanyan Kang came from the same mother, but he looked down upon this little brother who idled his time away.
Every day, he was smiling mischievously. It seemed that there wasn¡¯t a time when he had been serious. Suh a brother was somewhat a shame.
¡°Consort mother, I feel that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship are not ordinary. These days, Feng Cang doesn¡¯t appear. It looked like he took Feng Qi Qi out for a scenic tour. Could it be that they also want tomit incest?! If it¡¯s like that, then that would be great. It would be good enough to take them down at once!¡±
Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t agree with Wanyan Yi¡¯s argument. Although Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship was out of the ordinary, but how could the crown prince bepared to Feng Cang, ¡°Yi er, don¡¯t touch Feng Cang for now. You¡¯re not his opponent!¡±
Wanyan Yi didn¡¯t put this advice from Lin Ke Xin in his heart. After verbally promising Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Yi went out of the pce and summoned his confidant.
¡°Your Highness, you want to kill Feng Cang?¡± The moment Sun Xing heard Wanyan Yi¡¯s idea, he was shocked. ¡°Your highness, Nan Lin wang3 isn¡¯t someone ordinary, ah! Not to mention the eagle troop under him, even he is very skilled. Your highness, killing Feng Cang is not like a child ying a house; it¡¯s not child¡¯s y. Asking Your Highness to reconsider!¡±
Sun Xing¡¯s words were the same as Lin Ke Xin¡¯s. This made Wanyan Yi frown.
¡°This prince feeds you not to let you help the opposition¡¯s aspiration, while undermining our own power and prestige! It¡¯s not like you need to do it with your own hands. Could it be that you don¡¯t know how to find an assassin?! Use your pig¡¯s brain, alright! This prince isn¡¯t fighting with Feng Cang on a battlefield. This prince wants to y underhanded tricks!¡±
Although Sun Xing was not too happy after being scolded by Wanyan Yi, but the other party was the master. He couldn¡¯t refute him.
¡°Your Highness, if you really want to find an assassin to kill Feng Cang, then I suggest doing it on the night of the fifteenth. I heard that demon wang¡¯s power is the weakest on the night of the full moon. Killing him at that time would most likely be sessful.¡±
¡°Even if you don¡¯t say this, this crown prince knows. I ask you, which organization is the best at assassinations in this jianghu?¡±4
¡°Moyu and Fo Sheng Men are about the same. It¡¯s just, Moyu is the best at using poisons and killing without a trace. Moyu¡¯s assassins are also famous throughout the jianghu.¡±
After Sun Xing¡¯s exnation, Wanyan Yipletely understood. After thinking for a while, Wanyan Yue issued amand to Sun Xing, ¡°Look for Moyu! Since Moyu¡¯s assassins are the best, give them five thousand golden teals! This prince wants Feng Cang¡¯s head!¡±
¡°Yes...,¡± Sun Xing knew that no matter how much he persuaded, Wanyan Yi¡¯s mind was set. He (SX) could only do ording to his (WY) wishes.
When Wu Qing appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi, they had already spent a few days happily in this small town.
These past few days, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi was like any other ordinary couple. They were inseparable and watched the sunrise and sunset. In the morning, the two would go buy ingredients hand in hand. When they came back, Murong Qi Qi would wash the vegetables and Feng Cang would cook. The days flew away very ordinarily and simply, but it was full of warmth.
¡°Miss, someone paid a lot of money for guye¡¯s5 head.¡± Wu Qing stood respectfully in front of Murong Qi Qi. He roughly told the matter of Wanyan Yiing to find them and wanting them to kill Feng Cang on the night of the full moon.
¡°How much?¡± Murong Qi Qi snuggledzily in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Want her people to kill Feng Cang? Feces must¡¯ve entered this Wanyan Yi¡¯s head! Why didn¡¯t he inquire first, ah?!
¡°Five thousand golden teals.¡±
When she heard that it was only five thousand golden teals, Murong Qi Qiughed with a ¡®puchi¡¯ sound. She raised her head and looked at Feng Cang, ¡°Didn¡¯t expect that the famous Nan Lin wang was only worth five thousand. Really so...cheap.¡±
¡°Cang, why don¡¯t you give me ten thousand golden teals? Then this matter would be forgotten! My people had run an errand. You should at least give them some money to buy them drinks, ah!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fingers jumped on Feng Cang¡¯s palm like someone dancing ballet.
The itching from his palm made Feng Cang grasp Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft body and put her small hands on his lips. He kissed it a bit, ¡°What if I say no?¡±
¡°Then, it¡¯s easy!¡± Murong Qi Qi pulled back her hand and turned to look at Wu Qing, ¡°Wu Qing, issue the ¡®Chasing life¡¯mand. Rewarding ten thousand golden teals for killing demon wang plus the award of ¡®the best killer of the year¡¯.¡±
Listening to his miss, the originally ruthless expression on Wu Qing¡¯s face twitched a bit. ¡°Miss, really?¡±
¡°Hehe, of course it¡¯s real....¡± Feng Cang picked her up. ¡°Qing Qing, could it be that you want to murder your husband?¡±
¡°Cang...,¡± His name was stretched out as Murong Qi Qi spoke. ¡°If not, then how can I have an affair?!¡±
A ¡®have an affair¡¯pletely made Feng Cang angry. Leaving Wu Qing, he returned to the room while holding Murong Qi Qi. ¡°It must be because this husband didn¡¯t satisfy Qing Qing. That¡¯s why Qing Qing wants someone else. It seemed that before, my love was too gentle. If now, I don¡¯t let Qing Qing see the real me, Qing Qing will certainly think that I¡¯m useless and jump into another¡¯s arms.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t...hehe, so itchy...don¡¯t, I was joking...¡±
How could Feng Cangply with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s plea now. Now, his skills at taking off clothes were bing better and better.
Feng Cang still couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This woman was certainly sent by heaven to torture him.
A starving wolf throwing oneself at food; the consequences could be imagined. Even when it became night, Murong Qi Qi still didn¡¯t appear. When Feng Cang came out, Wu Qing had already cooked and also prepared wine.
The two men didn¡¯t bother with their rtionship of master and servant and sat down. They ate big mouthfuls of meat and drank lots of wine.
Originally, Wu Qing didn¡¯t know Feng Cang too well. Now, after seeing that he (FC) was also someone so straightforward, he (WQ) revealed a thin smile. It seemed that miss didn¡¯t choose the wrong person.
After a few cups of wine, Wu Qing was tipsy and he also became more talkative.
¡°When miss first arrived, she was reluctant to speak. Every day, she would just follow sir Mozun to practice martial arts. She didn¡¯t rest for a moment. At that time, miss was just ten years old, but in her eyes, she had the coldness and ruthlessness of an adult.¡±
¡°Sir Mozun loved miss very much. He always tried to tease her into speaking. However, no matter if he did a joker face or anything else, miss still had a cold expression. Her eyes were empty. Her gaze obviously fell on you, but there was no you in her eyes. It made people¡¯s hearts ache for her. Only after two years did miss slowly begin to speak. Later, her personality also gradually became cheerful. When sir Mozun passed away, miss was already in charge of Moyu.¡±
Feng Cang never knew Murong Qi Qi had such a past. Just the thought of the appearance of the ten-year-old Murong Qi Qi who didn¡¯t speak, made Feng Cang¡¯s heart twitch from pain.
¡°Miss is our Moyu¡¯s treasure. Before, when I heard that miss needed to marry you, I objected very much. In my eyes, miss is my little sister. I didn¡¯t want her to suffer the slightest grievances. Once, I even thought about killing you...¡±
Wu Qing confessing his thoughts so honestly made Feng Cang admire this person in front of him. He was named Wu Qing (heartless), but he was someone who took friendship seriously.
¡°However, ever since miss began to stay with you, the smiles on her face became more and more cheerful by the day. Seeing miss¡¯s happiness, we¡¯re all also very happy. These few years, miss suffered much for Moyu. We, Moyu owe miss. So, in our eyes, miss¡¯s happiness is more important than our lives!¡±
¡°I know.¡± Feng Cang understood the meaning of Wu Qing¡¯s words. He also made a promise to Wu Qing and also to the Moyu he represented, ¡°I will cherish her like how I cherish my eyes.¡±
Wu Qing stared at Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and was silent for a long time. In the end, he nodded, ¡°You better remember today¡¯s promise. Miss takes rtionships very seriously. If you betray miss, she¡¯d certainly rather flee and wouldn¡¯t touch you a bit. However, miss is like that, but we won¡¯t let it go. If you hurt miss, even if there¡¯s only one person left in Moyu, he/she would also kill you to take revenge for miss!¡±
After speaking, Wu Qing drank the cup of wine in one gulp and showed the bottom of the cup to Feng Cang. Feng Cang smiled and also drained his cup. The charm of men¡¯s promise lied in what was left unsaid.
After that, Wu Qing and Feng Cang talked in detail about the recent happenings at the capital. Especially, the dark movements of the imperial family.
¡°I know you don¡¯t want to bring miss into these whirlpools. It¡¯s just, even if you hide, what needs toe would stille in the end. I hope that when you¡¯re met with danger, you could be like how you said and protect our miss...Although, miss may not need your protection.¡±
When Wu Qing left, the sky was shining hazily. Looking at Wu Qing¡¯s back, Feng Cang felt that this person was a real man. Besides, he was someone worthy of someone¡¯s admiration. The things of the capital hade a bit too fast. So fast, that it was outside of his expectations. It was just, since it woulde sooner orter, why couldn¡¯t he catch it without a moment¡¯s hesitation?!
¡°Cang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Murong Qi Qi who had just woken up appeared behind Feng Cang. Her hands hugged him from behind.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t hide it from Murong Qi Qi. Instead, he told her the news that Wu Qing brought, ¡°Qing Qing, what do you think we should do?¡±
¡°What we should do? Continue the honeymoon! The matters of the imperial family have nothing to do with us. Since second prince likes to toss around, then let them go make trouble for themselves. Sandpiper and m war together and the fisherman catches both. Why don¡¯t we watch quietly and be the outsiders?!¡±
Sandpiper and m war together and the fisherman catches both: neighbors who can¡¯t agree lose out to a third party
A few simple words from Murong Qi Qi let Feng Cang see the great wisdom of this woman. She was like the roundworm in his belly and saw the struggle of the imperial family clearly. Really, getting such a wife, what more could a husband ask?!
¡°Since Qing Qing said so, this husband could only follow the instruction of my wife! The scenery of this small town is so great. Let¡¯s spend a few more days here!¡±
These two people made up their minds to be outsiders and watch a y. Inside the pce, empress dowager Dongfang Lan¡¯s ears had been disturbed without end by the empress¡¯s crying.
¡°Empress mother, Hong er was definitely set up by someone! What kind of person he usually is, could you not know?! Empress mother, it certainly must be that someone is jealous of us, this pair of mother and son. That¡¯s why that person had set a trap. The purpose is to get Hong er¡¯s position of crown prince!¡±
Li Bing¡¯s eyes were red from crying. She waspletely not in her usual dignified and decent state. Wanyan Hong had been imprisoned by Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t even allow her, the empress, to go see him. He also said that if she went to visit Wanyan Hong, he would strip her of her phoenix crown. That¡¯s why, Li Bing went to vent her feelings at Dongfang Lan¡¯s.
¡°It¡¯s useless for you to cry here at aijia¡¯s.6 The emperor saw this thing with his own eyes. It was not someone else who let him go there.¡± Dongfang Lan was also very angry at Wanyan Hong¡¯s ugly act. It¡¯s alright no matter what kind of women you like, but to actually do it with your own little sister...Ay, really a misfortune of the imperial family, ah!
¡°Empress mother, you need to help chenqie!7 Bao Zhu, that girl, insisted that it was Hong er who forced here. How could Hong ermit incest with his little sister?! From chenqie¡¯s point of view, this thing must¡¯ve been colluded by Bao Zhu with that one in Jingxin hall!¡±
Li Bing kept saying that Lin Ke Xin was the one behind it, making Dongfang Lan get a headache. Not a day or two goes by without these two women fighting each other in the pce. No matter what, wasn¡¯t it just for the throne? Could it be that, that position was really so good?
¡°Aijia won¡¯t meddle in this matter and also couldn¡¯t meddle in it. Aijia is already old. It¡¯s been so long that aijia doesn¡¯t ask about these things...¡± Dongfang Lan gestured with her hand to let Qing Gu send the guest off.
¡°Empress mother, the emperor had always been filial and would certainly listen to you! Woo, woo, chenqie only has this one son Hong er. If something happens to him, chenqie also can¡¯t live anymore!¡± Dongfang Lan refusing to help was in the expectations of Li Bing. However, she couldn¡¯t ept that her son missed the position of crown prince so narrowly.
Now, Li Bing knelt in front of Dongfang Lan. While she kowtowed, she cried. She looked very pitiful. Probably, all mothers in the world would be like this. It was just, this matter was rted to the throne. Dongfang Lan couldn¡¯t help her.
Although Wanyan Hong was the crown prince, but his words and deeds didn¡¯t have the posture of an emperor. If such a person became the emperor, the ones who would suffer would be the citizens. Dongfang Lan couldn¡¯t disregard the country and its people because of her love for her grandson.
They should let the right person sit on the throne. Wanyan Hong isn¡¯t approporate, so he should let someone else sit on it.
Dongfang Lan¡¯s thoughts were the same as Wanyan Lie¡¯s. After imprisoning Wanyan Hong for a few days, Wanyan Lie finally appeared in front of him. Seeing his son¡¯s decadent face, Wanyan Lie hated the iron for not bing steel.
Hated the iron for not bing steel: to feel resentful towards somebody for failing to meet their expectations and impatient to see improvements
¡°Do you know that you¡¯re wrong?¡±
¡°This subject son doesn¡¯t know.¡± A bandage was wrapped around Wanyan Hong¡¯s head. Although he was imprisoned, but his treatment had not been harsh. So, hisplexion wasn¡¯t that bad.
¡°You did such a thing to your little sister and you¡¯re still not wrong?¡± Seeing Wanyan Hong¡¯s indifferent expression, Wanyan Lie became very angry. Because of being stirred up, the veins of his hands were exposed. One by one, they became exceptionally obvious.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Being talked to like that by his father, made Wanyan Hongugh out loud. He cried fromughing. He reached out to wipe his tears. His eyes stared at the man in front of him wearing a dragon robe.
¡°Emperor father, troubling you to look clearly. Where does that woman look like Bao Zhu? She just wore a human skin mask. Hahaha!¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s words made Wanyan Lie shocked. He nodded, and Jing De immediately went to the room next door. Just a whileter, Jing De came over with a human skin mask and handed it over to Wanyan Lie.
¡°Did you see, emperor father?! This is a human skin mask! Although this subject son really wanted to learn tomit incest like emperor father, but this subject son doesn¡¯t have a number one beauty of the world as little sister, ah!¡±
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
4. Jianghu: world of martial arts
5. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
6. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
7. Chenqie: this subject wife/ I, used by the wives of the imperial family
Chapter 139 The fight for the crown prince’s position (1)
Chapter 139 The fight for the crown prince¡¯s position (1)
¡°What did you say? Say it once again!¡± Wanyan Hong¡¯s words deeply irritated Wanyan Lie. He had never imagined that his crown prince would say such a thing.
¡°Emperor father, could it be that this subject son didn¡¯t say it clearly enough? Even if this subject sonmitted incest, it¡¯s inherited from you, emperor father, ah...¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯
Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t finish speaking when Wanyan Lie raised his hand and fiercely gave him a p. Sensing the taste of blood in his mouth, Wanyan Hongughed. He rubbed his mouth. The way Wanyan Hong looked at Wanyan Lie became even more provocative.
¡°Is this subject son not right? Who did those dirty activities while holding little aunt¡¯s undergarments? Who hid so many women who looked like little aunt in Long Autumn pce? Who was the one who nned the thing at Yandang mountain...This subject doesn¡¯t have to say all this. In your heart, you should be the clearest!¡±
¡°Bastard!¡±
Wanyan Lie was furious, but he didn¡¯t expect that after Wanyan Hong heard ¡®bastard¡¯, he wouldugh even more happily, ¡°Emperor father, you¡¯re right! A man who drooled over his own little sister is indeed a bastard!¡±
Wanyan Hong¡¯s words let Jing De, who¡¯s standing at a side, pinch a sweat for this crown prince. The thoughts emperor had about princess Ming Yue had always been his (WL) most taboo thing. Now, it¡¯s not good. Crown prince had directly put everything out in the open. Wasn¡¯t this pping Wanyan Lie¡¯s face?!
The thing men in the world loved most was their face; let alone a country¡¯s ruler!
Who was princess Ming Yue? Speaking more beautifully, she¡¯s the cinnabar mole of the emperor¡¯s chest. Since you knew everything, you should¡¯ve honestly kept it a secret. You should¡¯ve clenched your teeth, not say anything and continue to be a crown prince. That¡¯s the most intelligent approach. Now, Wanyan Hong had put everything out in the open; wasn¡¯t this obviously to irritate the emperor?!
After hearing Wanyan Hong¡¯s words, Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression gradually turned calm. In the end, his expression turned into frost.
¡°Jing De, draft the imperial decree. The crown prince doesn¡¯t have virtue, is stubborn and obstreperous and disappointed zhen¡¯s1expectations. After repeatedly considering, zhen has decided to depose the crown prince, bestowing him the title of Bei Jing wang,2 imprisoning him at Southern Park and he could nevere out during his entire life...¡±
Jing De was just a ve. Although in his heart, he felt that this punishment was somewhat heavy, but he knew the emperor¡¯s temper. Not to say that the crown prince¡¯s words and deeds were really out of ce, but even if Wanyan Hong had popr sentiment and prestige, he had made the feelings Wanyan Lie had for Wanyan Ming Yue be a big matter; that was the same as bringing about his own destruction.
Being deposed was within Wanyan Hong¡¯s expectations. When he heard that sentence ¡®imprisoning at the Southern Park¡¯, Wanyan Hongughed out loud. Lifelong imprisonment? Limit his freedom? It¡¯s better to kill him!
¡°Emperor father, when memories (dreams) haunt you at midnight, would you feel guilt in your heart? Yandang mountain, Bei Zhou¡¯s two hundred thousand young men, only because of your own desire, all lost their lives. Two hundred thousand families ruined and orphaned; two hundred thousand lonely souls. Emperor father, would you feel a twinge of guilt? Would you feel worried that those people woulde demand your life? This is the ruler who they¡¯d vowed loyalty and devotion to, ah! This is their emperor!¡±
¡°Your Highness...,¡± Seeing that Wanyan Hong was clearly looking for death, Jing De couldn¡¯t help but open his mouth, but he was stopped by Wanyan Lie, ¡°Let him continue. Zhen would like to listen clearly and hear what he has to say!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Seeing Wanyan Lie standing in front of him and still pretending to be upright, Wanyan Hongughed out loud once again. Tears fell down from hisughter.
¡°Emperor father, you dote so much on Feng n¡¯s siblings. If they knew that you were the murderer of their parents, you say, would Feng Cang¡¯s sword give you mercy because of the love you showed him for so many years? And Feng Qi Qi, she looks so much like little aunt; you really don¡¯t have any thoughts about her?¡±
¡°Zhen is not as dirty as you think.¡± Wanyan Lie had never thought about getting Murong Qi Qi. No matter how distorted his heart was, he could still distinguish the difference between little sister and niece.
¡°This subject son thought dirty?¡±
Wanyan Hong stoppedughing. His mouth pulled a sarcastic smile, ¡°Indeed, this subject son is very dirty. However, this subject son was also made by you. Isn¡¯t it that this subject son inherited some things from you...¡±
¡°Enough!¡±
Wanyan Lie narrowed his eyes. His expression was as deep as never before. ¡°Zhen admits, zhen likes my own imperial little sister and because of this, did many wrong things. However, zhen had never regretted it! Besides, zhen¡¯s mistake is not for you to indulge yourself and the excuse for you to repeatedly make mistakes! Hong er,3 you let zhen be so disappointed...¡±
Leaving this sentence, Wanyan Lie and Jing De left. Looking at the closed door, Wanyan Hongughed. Whileughing, tears fell down the corners of his eyes.
Emperor father, did you know?! Once, this subject son adored you so much! Bei Zhou became strong under your lead. You were like a hero and was this subject son¡¯s idol. This subject son wished to be like you so much. This subject son wished to put Bei Zhou¡¯s banner through the whole maind and let the maind be Wanyan family¡¯s world...
Until, this subject son eavesdropped on you and got to know your deep secret. Your tall image in this subject son copsed instantly.
Emperor father, it was not that this subject son didn¡¯t want to be a good crown prince. It was just, this subject son was unable, unable to ept such a father like you...
Naturally, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t understand Wanyan Hong¡¯s thoughts. Now, he was thinking how he could solve this thing in the fastest and cleanest way.
It was a good thing that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi weren¡¯t in the capital. He didn¡¯t want any rumors to spread to the ears of these two people. In front of them, at least in front of Murong Qi Qi, he needed to y a good role. What he owed Ming Yue, he wouldpensate to her daughter.
¡°Emperor, what to do with those two women?¡± Jing De followed behind Wanyan Lie. His reminder made Wanyan Lie remember about those two women.
¡°Were their identities investigated?¡±
The moment Wanyan Lie asked, Jing De knew he was talking about Murong Xin Lian and Murong Qing Lian¡¯s identities. Immediately, he narrated systematically and in full detail, the result of the investigation to the emperor.
¡°Murong family¡¯s daughters?¡±
Hearing the word ¡®Murong¡¯, Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes were lit with two fires. If it wasn¡¯t because Li Qiu Shui¡¯s conspiracy had been exposed, he may have never known that there was still a daughter of Wanyan Ming Yue alive in this world. He also wouldn¡¯t have let Murong Qi Qi suffer so much at Murong household!
The hatred Wanyan Lie had for Li Qiu Shui extended to Murong household.
Earlier, when Murong Qi Qi hade for a marriage alliance, he let people inquire everything about Murong household. Not favored third miss and often bullied by people. At that moment, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t know Murong Qi Qi¡¯s identity. Now that it had been determined that this third miss was Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, how could he tolerate his niece being bullied by others?!
¡°Who is the person who pretended to be Bao Zhu?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Murong Xin Lian. She¡¯s the second miss.¡±
¡°Pull out her tongue, cut off her limbs and throw her out to be the army¡¯s prostitute! If she doesn¡¯t do one hundred people a day, don¡¯t give her any food!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s words made Jing De shudder. He had seen that woman. She¡¯s a weak beauty. The limbs of a beautiful girl being cut off and her bing a mute, but that beautiful face was still left intact; when being thrown into the army to face those wolf and tiger like men, who had been hungry for a long time, he didn¡¯t know how much sins she would suffer. One hundred people a day? It¡¯s already very great if she could bear it for ten days!
¡°As for the other one, zhen remembers that she was the so-called young genius girl. Since she¡¯s a genius, then break her meridians to let her unable to practice martial arts for her whole life. Also, let people beat her with a cowhide whip soaked in salt water a hundred times every day. Whip her till she¡¯s dead!¡±
Jing De knew that Wanyan Lie put Murong Qi Qi¡¯s revenge onto these two people. It seemed that in the emperor¡¯s heart, princess Ming Yue was still the most important!
¡°Emperor, then what to do about princess Bao Zhu?¡±
¡°Bao Zhu...,¡± Wanyan Lie was silent for a while. ording to the current situation, Wanyan Bao Zhu was certainly dead. Otherwise, Murong Xin Lian wouldn¡¯t have been able to fool everyone with just a human skin mask.
Moreover, Wanyan Hong certainly knew about this! He obviously knew that his little sister had died, but he didn¡¯t ask or take revenge. Even more, he had hooked up with the murderer of his little sister. Now, Wanyan Lie was very skeptical that Wanyan Bao Zhu¡¯s death had nothing to do with Wanyan Hong.
¡°Announce the truth. Princess Bao Zhu was murdered by Murong Xin Lian!¡±
Just a few words ended the rtion of a father and daughter. Looking at that deste yellow back, Jing De shook his head. The most ruthless family is the imperial family. In this emperor¡¯s heart, only the things he cared about were the most treasured. The others were just smoke to the eyes!
When inside the pce, empress Li Bing heard that her son had been deposed and was also imprisoned for life, she fainted on the spot. The pce maids of Jingde pce went forward, poured water over her and also pinched her. Only after a long while, did Li Bing slowly wake up.
¡°Emperor, bengong4 wants to go see the emperor!¡± Li Bing struggled to get up. She was supported by Chuntao. ¡°Empress, eunuch Jing De came to announce the decree just now. He said that the emperor empathized that your body wasn¡¯t feeling well and you needed to rest. He gave you permission to rest at Jingde pce. If the emperor doesn¡¯t summon you, you couldn¡¯t go out!¡±
¡°What? Does the emperor want to imprison bengong? He imprisoned the crown prince, now he wants to imprison bengong. Bengong doesn¡¯t ept it! What did the crown prince do wrong?! What did bengong do wrong?!¡±
No matter what, Li Bing didn¡¯t think that Wanyan Lie would treat her like this. They were the couple who¡¯d tied the knot. There was a saying, a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of your life. When Wanyan Lie wasn¡¯t the emperor yet, she had been at his side. The two experienced many ups and downs before they got today¡¯s status.
Although there were many women in the harem, but no matter who was favored, no one had affected her position. Now, Wanyan Lie imprisoned her and deposed Wanyan Hong¡¯s position of crown prince with no difficulty. Could it be that his next step was to depose the empress?
Li Bing didn¡¯t understand. She didn¡¯t know where she had gone wrong. She also didn¡¯t know what Wanyan Hong did wrong. Wasn¡¯t it just that Yu Shi Shi died and that Wanyan Hong yed with a few women?! Outside, everyone was gossping that Wanyan Hong had slept with Wanyan Bao Zhu. Li Bing didn¡¯t believe this.
She had given birth to this son. Of course, she knew (him). No matter how much Wanyan Hong acted arbitrarily, regardless of the rules, it was impossible for him to have something with his imperial little sister. He still had this distinction of right and wrong.
¡°Chuntao, go to Jingxuan pce and beg the empress dowager! Let this elder have mercy! The emperor wouldn¡¯t not listen to the empress dowager¡¯s words!¡±
Seeing that until now, the empress was still like this, Chuntao sighed, ¡°Empress, the emperor decreed that no one of Jingde pce, regardless of any excuses, could go out. Otherwise, she/he would be killed on the spot!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Li Bing was dumbfounded. ¡°He¡¯s breaking bengong¡¯s way to survive, ah!¡±
Li Bing suffered and encountered a bitter experience. Putting it at consort De Lin Ke Xin¡¯s, it was good news. ¡°Bengong was pondering why bengong heard the Eurasian magpie chirp on the branches! Indeed, it was the Eurasian magpie who hade to bring the good news!¡±
¡°Congrattions, consort! Congrattion, consort!¡± Wet nurse Yu congratted Lin Ke Xin. ¡°The crown prince fell. This throne is now second highness¡¯!¡±
¡°Wet nurse, don¡¯t say it so quickly. It won¡¯t be good if people hear it! Emperor, ah, only deposed the crown prince. He hasn¡¯t established the new crown prince yet!¡±
Lin Ke Xin was saying that with her mouth, but her face smiled like a flower. How could wet nurse Yu not know consort De¡¯s inner thoughts. She immediately wantonly ttered Wanyan Yi, boasting that there were only a few like him in heaven and rarely seen one like him on earth, making Lin Ke Xinugh out loud.
Aside from her Yi er, no one else is qualified to sit on that ce. Sooner orter, this world would be Wanyan Yi¡¯s! No matter who, if they block her son¡¯s road to be the emperor, she would certainly kill them!
At this point, inside Lin Ke Xin¡¯s mind appeared the figures of Wanyan Kang and Murong Qi Qi. Thinking of that day in the pce, about Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang¡¯s interaction, Lin Ke Xin frowned.
If Murong Qi Qi could marry Wanyan Yi, then Wanyan Yi¡¯s position of crown prince would be safe. Even if the emperor doesn¡¯t bestow him the title of crown prince, sooner orter, the throne would still be his. Although, Wanyan Yi had previously suspected Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtion, but they¡¯re biological siblings. No matter how, they wouldn¡¯tmit such a self-destroying reputation thing like incest.
The only thing Lin Ke Xin was worried about was Wanyan Kang, this time bomb. That day, she wanted to thread a needle for Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Yi. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would seem to ¡®fancy¡¯ Wanyan Kang more! Wanyan Kang was usually carefree. She didn¡¯t notice that his thoughts ran so deep...
Thread a needle: to act as a go-between
Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi weren¡¯t in the capital. Even if she wanted to match Murong Qi Qi with Wanan Yi, this thing couldn¡¯t be done easily. What was the best thing to do?! This was something that gave Lin Ke Xin many headaches.
The crown prince being disposed was a surprise to many, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. Wanyan Hong¡¯s usual assessment was not good. So, him being disposed didn¡¯t affect the mood of many. Everyone was now concerned about who would be the new crown prince.
The person who would sit on the throne in the end, would it be the second prince who had the reputation of being worthy and virtuous or Nan Lin wang Feng Cang who the emperor preferred? It was difficult to make a choice. The gambling dens opened a bet. In the end, the bets were evenly matched for both parties.
Half of the people supported Nan Lin wang Feng Cang. They felt that Feng Cang had been favored since young, which was seen by all. Besides, in the past, Wanyan Lie had the thought to pass the throne to Feng Cang several times. Now, Feng Cang was inmand of Bei Zhou¡¯s army. Even if Wanyan Yi became the emperor, they should also see if he can sit tightly on this position.
The people who supported Wanyan Yi felt that passing the throne to the son was human nature. No matter how much the nephew is liked, but he isn¡¯t their own blood. In the end, there¡¯s still ayer between them. Besides, among Wanyan Lie¡¯s princes, Wanyan Yi performed the best. They believed that in the future, he would be a good emperor.
As for the control of the army, if Wanyan Yi truly became the emperor, there would definitely be a fierce battle between him and Feng Cang. Either, Feng Cang had to let go of the control of the army or seize the throne. Unless Wanyan Lie is able to solve this problem well while he¡¯s still the emperor.
Those who supported Wanyan Yi still had a thought. That was, till now, Feng Cang still didn¡¯t have an heir. With his ability of cursing his wives; if he couldn¡¯t get married for life, then heirs were a big problem. In the future, how should the throne be passed down? Just this point, Wanyan Yi was a lot better. From the point of the continuation of the dynasty, it made a lot of people support Wanyan Yi.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were still living an isted life in the small town. It was just, every day, there would be pigeons from Moyu and Fo Sheng Mening from the capital. Although these two people weren¡¯t in the imperial city, but they clearly knew about the things that had urred in Yan capital.
¡°Which bastard pushed you to the front of the stage? Really a bastard!¡±
When she got to know that the gambling dens had opened a bet using Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi got angry. This was obviously a man-made operation. They pushed Feng Cang so eagerly to the opposite of Wanyan Yi, could it be to let him be the target of a multitude of arrows? Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any thoughts about the throne. If he was willing, he would have long grabbed this throne!
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t waste your mood on these senseless people.¡± Feng Cang¡¯s reaction to this matter wasn¡¯t as intense as Murong Qi Qi¡¯s. He was very satisfied with the present life. Having Murong Qi Qi¡¯spany every day without any other things disturbing them. It was really quiet and leisurely.
This honeymoon time let Feng Cang think about a lot of things. Rather than go through challenging experiences and fighting and scheming against each other at court, he might as well livefortably with Murong Qi Qi in the jianghu5 and be a pair of immortals.
¡°How can I not worry?! We want the quietness, but others want to pull us into the quarrel. The crown prince just fell, but such a gamble has alreadye out. Perspicacious people could see that someone was pushing the waves and add to the billows from behind!¡±
Pushing the waves and add to the billows: adding momentum
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turn red, Feng Cang chuckled. He raised her chin. His mouth ¡®tsked¡¯ twice lightly. ¡°Qing Qing is so beautiful even when being angry!¡±
¡°Cang, I¡¯m talking about serious matters with you!¡± Murong Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Her small hands yed with his hair, ¡°Talking about it, I also have shares in those gambling dens. Why don¡¯t we also make an operation in secret? What do you think?¡±
¡°How should we do it?¡±
¡°Of course, it¡¯s to raise second prince up! If I didn¡¯t guess wrong, the one who set this bet was Wanyan Yi. He¡¯s itching to get on with you. Since it¡¯s like that, why don¡¯t we go along with his wish; let his dream of bing the emperor get bigger and bigger. What do you think?¡±
¡°Little monster!¡± Feng Cang immediately understood Murong Qi Qi¡¯s meaning. Raise Wanyan Yi up to let him believe that the people¡¯s heart is with him, this second prince. His inner desire would expand violently. Maybe he would then do something ¡®to offend the whole society¡¯.
It seemed that Jin Mo was right. If this woman was put in court, she would definitely be able to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another.
Produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another: to shift one¡¯s ground
Sure enough, not two dayster; originally Feng Cang and Wanyan Yi were evenly match, bu it has now changed into Feng Cang being left behind. The people who supported Wanyan Yi in the capital became more and more. Everyone was saying that the imperial blood shouldn¡¯t be mixed. The throne must be the second prince¡¯s.
After Wanyan Yi got this news, he was smiling every day from ear to ear. It seemed that the eyes of the masses were sharp. Everyone knew that Feng Cang was just a wangye of a different surname. If he (FC) inherited the throne, then it¡¯s illegitimately conferred.
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
2. Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
3. Er: term of endearment
4. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family
5. Jianghu: world of martial arts

Chapter 140 The fight for the crown prince¡¯s position (2) part 1
With the assessment of him getting higher and higher, Wanyan Yi became even more ted. He felt that he was already sitting tightly on the throne. He also began to speak and do things with the bureaucratic ent. He wanted to train himself, so that he could have the posture of a crown prince earlier on.
The debate about the new crown prince intensified. However, the two popr people, Feng Cang and Wanyan Yi, reacted differently.
The former directly handed a petition for a sick leave to Wanyan Lie. It said that his body felt unwell and he needed to rest. He left the capital with princess Zhen Guo almost a month ago. It seemed that nothing was important to him. As for thetter, he had been constantly wandering among officials and actively strove for their support.
The difference between the former andtter was obvious at a nce. There were people who said that if Feng Cang still doesn¡¯t return, then the throne would be taken away. There were also others who said that Feng Cang couldn¡¯t beat Wanyan Yi. After all, the other party was a true imperial bloodline. In short, the public opinion inclined towards Wanyan Yi as if he had already be Bei Zhou¡¯s future emperor.
Dongfang Lan, who¡¯s inside Jinxuan pce, after getting to know the situation outside the pce, she repeatedly praised Feng Cang¡¯s act of leaving the capital. Now, it¡¯s where the wind and waves are the fiercest. Standing on a wave, when it falls, the body would be torn and the bones crushed.
Where the wind and waves are the fiercest: at the heart of the struggle
Although Dongfang Lan really wanted Feng Cang to return and discuss about Feng Xie with her grandson, but now everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the position of the crown prince. Even if Feng Cang didn¡¯t have those thoughts, but three men talking makes a tiger and would let him get caught into a whirlpool. He and Murong Qi Qi leaving this trouble behind them was the best choice.
Three men talking makes a tiger: repeated rumor bes a fact
It was just, Feng Cang didn¡¯t return, and Feng Xie also no longer appeared. The suspense in Dongfang Lan¡¯s heart had never been solved. There was always a knot in her heart, making her sleepless. If what Feng Xie said was the truth, she couldn¡¯t not take revenge for her daughter!
¡°Miss, the person is here.¡± Inside the temple, Qing Gu brought Chun Xing over. After nursing for about a month, Chun Xing could finally get out of bed and walk. Although herplexion was still a bit pale, but now she was full of spirit.
¡°Thanking empress dowager for the grace of saving this ve¡¯s life!¡± The moment Chun Xing arrived, she knelt in front of Dongfang Lan and kowtowed. She knew her life had been saved by the empress dowager. If it wasn¡¯t because of Dongfang Lan, she would¡¯ve long be a ghost.
After seeing Chun Xing¡¯s appearance, Dongfang Lan nodded slightly. Although herplexion was still not very good, but being alive was better than anything else.
¡°Girl, stand up! Don¡¯t kneel. Your body hasn¡¯t recoveredpletely yet!¡±
Dongfang Lan looked kind and her voice was filled with affection, making the originally nervous Chun Xing gradually calm down. She bowed once again to Dongfang Lan. Then, Chun Xing stood up.
¡°Girl, you said before that noble consort Yue was innocent. Then, tell aijia1 in full detail about everything that had happened in Long Autumn pce. If she truly was wronged, aijia would definitely help her wash away her grievances.¡±
The empress dowager¡¯s promise set Chun Xing¡¯s mind at ease. When she was about to talk, Chun Xing saw the painting on the wall. When she saw the appearance of the person in painting, Chun Xing couldn¡¯t help but scream.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qing Gu couldn¡¯t help but look at Chun Xing. She saw Chun Xing look with an open mouth and in shock at the beauty in the painting. She asked Qing Gu, ¡°Aunt, who is the person in painting?¡±
¡°It¡¯s aijia¡¯s daughter, Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Ming Yue!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s exnation left Chun Xing dumbfounded, ¡°But, but, princess and noble consort Yue look so much alike. They have a seventy to eighty percent of simrity!¡±
¡°Oh? Really?¡± Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t expect that in this world, there was someone who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue. The moment Qing Gu heard this, she saw the problem.
¡°Miss, do you remember, on the night noble consort Yue tried to assassinate the emperor, this ve saw a girl who looked like princess in Long Autumn pce. This ve was just about to ask her origin, when she was killed by eunuch Jing De. This ve remembers that at that moment, that girl said someone had brought her to be an imperial noble consort!¡±
¡°Is that person imperial noble consort Yue?¡± Dongfang Lan looked at Chun Xing.
¡°No! I saw that woman¡¯s corpse. Although she looked like imperial noble consort, but she isn¡¯t imperial noble consort. This ve also doesn¡¯t know why she had appeared at Long Autumn pce! This ve had never seen this person before!¡±
One after another mysteries gued Dongfang Lan. If it was said that Yue Lan Zhi looked like Wanyan Ming Yue; thenter, a young girl who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue entered the pce to be imperial noble consort, could it be that the young girl hade to substitute? Was it that Yue Lan Zhi had long died?
It was just, why would the emperor search for a girl who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue to be the imperial noble consort? Could it be...Thinking till here, Dongfang Lan¡¯splexion changed dramatically. She also thought about the rumors in the capital; crown prince Wanyan Hong and princess Wanyan Bao Zhu hadmitted incest. Dongfang Lan¡¯s head suddenly exploded. She didn¡¯t dare to think any further.
¡°Miss, miss, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Qing Gu saw that Dongfang Lan¡¯splexion wasn¡¯t good. She immediately went forward to pat her back. Only after a long while did she calm down. In the end, Dongfang Lan wasn¡¯t an ordinary woman. Although she was shocked at her own thoughts, but she didn¡¯t have any proof, so she wouldn¡¯t jump to conclusions.
¡°Girl, tell aijia about the matter of Long Autumn pce!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s topic returned to Chun Xing. Chun Xing nodded. She told everything she knew about what had happened at Long Autumn pce from beginning to end to Dongfang Lan.
¡°All around, nine imperial noble consorts were changed? Aijia remembers that Cang er2 has also married nine times...You said that every time the emperor doted on noble consort Yue, it was for a very long time? And that every time he would let Jing De guard at the door and doesn¡¯t let anyone else go in?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, empress dowager! However, on the day of the ident, eunuch Jing De wasn¡¯t at the door. Later, he suddenly came out in a panic and called two people inside. Afterwards, the news of the emperor being attacked was spread out.¡±
¡°But that night, this ve saw very clearly. Imperial noble consort didn¡¯t leave the ce. The whole night, this ve kept watch not far from the hall. No one came out from the inside. Besides, the two people eunuch Jing De had called in were also killed. They had certainly seen something they shouldn¡¯t have. That¡¯s why they were silenced! After the emperor woke up, everyone from Long Autumn pce had been killed, except for this ve!¡±
Chun Xing¡¯s wails let Dongfang Lan¡¯s thoughts be more chaotic. What kind of secret was hidden in Long Autumn pce? What kind of shady thing did Wanyan Lie do? Could it be that he really had an unusual hobby? If what Feng Xie and Chun Xing said was the truth, then the matter of Yandang mountain was not difficult to understand. It was definitely Wanyan Lie who had yed tricks from behind!
¡°Chun Xing, aijia has a headache. You can retreat! Aijia would definitely investigate this matter as the water recedes, the rocks appear and give noble consort Yue an exnation!¡±
As the water recedes, the rocks appear: the truth wille to light
After Chun Xing left, Qing Gu came to Dongfang Lan¡¯s side to massage her temples, ¡°Miss, if it truly was the emperor...What do you n to do?¡±
¡°A murder should be paid with one¡¯s life, a debt owed should be paid back!¡±
1. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
2. Er: tern of endearment
While saying this sentence, undoubtedly, the hatred inside Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes manifested. For so many years. she didn¡¯t know that the person she faced was the enemy who killed her daughter!
Sixteen years! So many days and nights, for Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s death, she cried till the tears dried from her eyes. However, she didn¡¯t expect that the enemy who killed her daughter, who she searched so hard for was in front of her! If this matter was really done by Wanyan Lie, she must take revenge for Wanyan Ming Yue!
¡°Ming Yue, mother did you wrong! Mother got old and my eyes got blind. Mother couldn¡¯t distinguish who was the wolf and who was the human. But, don¡¯t worry, mother¡¯s heart is not muddled. After determining the truth of the matter, mother would definitely take revenge for you!¡±
Dongfang Lan rambled a lot in front of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s painting. After a long time did Dongfang Lan recuperated from her deste mood. She collected herself up. From a mother who missed her daughter, she changed again into a dignified empress dowager. Now, what Dongfang Lan needed to do was to find out the truth while remaining calm and collected.
When Dongfang Lan and Qing Gu left, a ck figure jumped from the roof. If Dongfang Lan returned now, she would be surprised at seeing this person. He was Feng Xie, the one everyone thoughtmitted suicide and died for his country.
The words Chun Xing said just now, Feng Xie heard them clearly. It turned out that Long Autumn pce had so many dirty things!
Now Feng Xie was surer that there must be something simr to a dungeon in the chamber he wentst time. Perhaps, perhaps in the underground, there would be a shameful secret. No, he must find a chance to go in!
Feng Xie thought like that. He also immediately did so.
The same night, taking advantage of the night, Feng Xie once again slipped into Long Autumn pce and once again returned to that chamber. Although this was only the second time Feng Xie came here, but because the furniture inside was the same as Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s boudoir, so Feng Xie was very familiar with this ce. He didn¡¯t light up a light. Only taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Xie began to explore the chamber.
If there¡¯s really was an underground pce, then a button to open the entrance must be in the chamber. Feng Xie carefully touched. When he touched a strange object and turned it, the ground suddenly copsed. A passage appeared in front of Feng Xie.
¡°Sure enough, there¡¯s an underground pce!¡± Feng Xie was happily surprised. He stepped on the stairway and went down.
This passage was very long. Feng Xie walked very carefully. After experiencing to many changes, he couldn¡¯t help but deal with everything carefully. When he reached the end, Feng Xie finally saw the Wanyan Ming Yue on the warm jade bed.
¡°Ming Yue!¡±
Immediately, Feng Xie called out loud. He rushed in two, three steps to the warm jade bed. His lips and hands began to tremble. Too unbelievable! Wanyan Ming Yue was still alive! The person he yearned for day and night, his wife, was still actually alive! To Feng Xie, this news was too shocking!
¡°Ming Yue, I am Feng Xie, ah! Ming Yue, open your eyes and look at me! Ming Yue, wake up! What happened to you?¡±
Only a momentter, Feng Xie discovered where the problemy. Although, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s body was warm, but she was like a living dead with her eyes closed. If it wasn¡¯t because he called her for so long and Wanyan Ming Yue didn¡¯t wake up, he would¡¯ve thought that she was asleep.
Feng Xie clutched Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand and checked her pulse. He found out that her pulse was beating very slowly. It was almost undetectable. Looking once again at the warm jade bed Wanyan Ming Yue was sleeping on, Feng Xie finally understood the problem.
It may be assumed that if it wasn¡¯t because of the protection of this warm jade bed, Wanyan Ming Yue would have died long ago. This was also why, Wanyan Ming Yue still looked like sixteen years ago. There wasn¡¯t a trace of aging.
¡°Ming Yue, I¡¯m Feng Xie!¡± Feng Xie held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯ hand. Tears rolled down his aged face. He had never thought that he could see Wanyan Ming Yue once again! Although, Feng Xie prayed to the gods to let Wanyan Ming Yuee back to him, but he knew that it was an extravagant hope.
Now, although the extravagant hope became reality, but Wanyan Ming Yue continued to be asleep. This made Feng Xie¡¯s originally worried heart be heavier.
¡°Everything was done by Wanyan Lie, right? Ming Yue, it¡¯s my fault. I was too careless! You once reminded me that apanying one¡¯s sovereign is like apanying a tiger, but I didn¡¯t believe you. I didn¡¯t think that my carelessness, in the end brought you cmity and also harmed our daughter!¡±
¡°Now, Qi Qi is found. Now, I also found you. Tell me, is this god¡¯s charity out of pity towards us? Does this mean that our family will be reunited soon?¡±
Joy and sadness lingered at the same time in Feng Xie¡¯s heart. To be able to see Wanyan Ming Yue once again, he almost went crazy from happiness. After the happiness, Feng Xie thought about how to bring Wanyan Ming Yue out.
Just now, he checked the warm jade bed. He discovered that Wanyan Ming Yue was able to live like this was thanks to the effectiveness of the warm jade bed. If he takes Wanyan Ming Yue away by force, without the ¡®protection¡¯ of the warm jade bed, Wanyan Ming Yue may die.
After all, Feng Xie wasn¡¯t a doctor. He couldn¡¯t check what kind of disease Wanyan Ming Yue had. Even more, he didn¡¯t dare to take her away without careful consideration. After losing too many things, Feng Xie didn¡¯t dare to take the bet. He didn¡¯t dare, even more, to bet with Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s life.
After kissing Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s forehead once again, Feng Xie reluctantly left the underground pce. He wasn¡¯t a twenty, thirty-year-old hothead youngster anymore. These years, he sharpened on the grindstone. He knew what could be done and what couldn¡¯t be done.
The first thing Feng Xie needed to do was go find Jin Mo.
Jin Mo had the name of evil doctor. His medical skills must be very high. If Jin Mo couldn¡¯t heal Wanyan Ming Yue, then he needed to go find strange doctor Lian gongzi1. No matter what, he needed to cure Wanyan Ming Yue! He couldn¡¯t and couldn¡¯t tolerate Wanyan Ming Yue to continue stay in the underground pce. The sooner this matter was dealt with, the better!
In Yan capital, because the crown prince was deposed, the candidates for the position of the new crown prince was abuzz. At this time, the diplomats of Nan Feng under the leadership of the new emperor of Nan Feng, Ming Yue Cheng, arrived grandiosely at Yan capital.
Ming Yue Cheng personally came to exchange documents between the two nations to make friends, making the citizens who originally focused on the candidates for the position of the new crown prince, shift their gaze a bit to this Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor.
It was said that once, this new emperor had been a hostage in Xi Qi for a decade. It was said that this new emperor¡¯s empress mother was sentenced to death because of witchcraft. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was investigating the truth of that year and cleared the name of his empress mother and Miao n. It was also said, there were some people who didn¡¯t ept this new emperor ascending the throne. He let the capital be dyed in blood. He used bloody means to subdue those who harbored misconducting thoughts.
In short, Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor Ming Yue Cheng was a legendary person in the point of view of Bei Zhou¡¯s citizens. At least, such a young and promising talent and also with such an iron fist; there were only a few, even in this maind.
After seeing Ming Yue Cheng for the first time, Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t help butment in his heart. If there was a son who could be like Ming Yue Cheng with such an extraordinary bearing, even if his eyes were closed (died) right now, he could be at ease.
Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor personally came to Bei Zhou and was also willing to sign a friendly agreement with Bei Zhou, was a thing Wanyan Lie weed with both hands.
Wanyan Lie also understood a bit about the tactics of this new emperor. After seeing Ming Yue Cheng in person, Wanyan Lie had admiration, regret and pressure.
This man was not a person of no particr talent. Under his management, Nan Feng would certainly be glorious and flourishing. This man would definitely be a strong opponent of Bei Zhou. None of his own sons could bepared to Ming Yue Cheng.
Thinking till here, Wanyan Lei suddenly felt sorrowful.
If he was the same age as Ming Yue Cheng, he could go head on head with him. However, now he¡¯s old. Talented people would be born every dynasty. In the future, this world would be the young generation¡¯s! Nan Feng could have such an emperor, but his princess; there was no one who could take such a heavy task!
Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor came to Yan capital. Naturally Bei Zhou¡¯s princess needed to keep himpany. Besides, their ages were not far apart. It was a lot easier to have a chat. When Ming Yue Cheng opened his mouth, he asked for Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Why didn¡¯t zhen2 see Nan Lin wang 3 today? Is it that because being newly married, Feng Cang has a beauty to apany him, he¡¯s unable to deal with anything else?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words clearly had a teasing tone. After hearing his words, Wanyan Yiughed, ¡°Probably, Your Majesty doesn¡¯t know. Princess Zhen Guo who came for a marriage alliance, in fact is Nan Lin wang¡¯s biological little sister. This time, Feng Cang¡¯s old disease acted again. Princess Zhen Guo apanied him to relieve boredom!¡±
The originally simple matter,ing from Wanyan Yi¡¯s mouth, changed into something that had a strange taste. Coupled with his strange expression, those who listened to him, revealed an ambiguous smile, except for Wanyan Kang.
Wanyan Kang knew that this second big brother of him coveted the throne for a long time. However, that was his (WY) own problem. Why did he had to bring cousin brother into everything? He (WK) is very supportive of cousin brother and cousin inw. Although, he knew clearly that if he gets too close to Feng Cang, it would let Wanyan Yi and consort mother get angry. However, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t like them, these people who engage in conspiracies and whom yed tricks.
¡°My cousin brother¡¯s body had always not been well. Before, he went to Xi Qi. Not even two days after he returned, he rushed to Yongzhou to preside over the tournament of the four countries. When he just came back, he was busy preparing for the marriage. He didn¡¯t rest. That was why, he became ill from being too tired. He asked for a sick leave from father and went to nurse his health.¡±
Wanyan Kang spoke up for Feng Cang, made Wanyan Yi couldn¡¯t help but re at him once. Sometimes, Wanyan Yi suspected if this little brother was given birth by consort mother. Why did his elbows turn the wrong way every time?! He made it seem like Feng Cang was his biological brother!
Elbows turn the wrong way: favor an outsider instead of someone on one¡¯s own side.
¡°From my point of view, it¡¯s because princess Zhen Guo¡¯s identity was announced publicly; lovers became siblings. He couldn¡¯t ept it. That was why he fell ill. This time, saying that it was nursing his health, but bringing Feng Qi Qi; who knows what they are doing?!¡±
¡°Imperial big brother, how could you say this?!¡± Hearing Wanyan Yi say this, Wanyan Kang got angry.
Others didn¡¯t know, but he got inside news from Su Mei. Cousin brother and cousin inw went to a honeymoon this time. They finally could break through the obstacles and get together. This was a happy thing. The original beautiful thing, after being added with a vulgar tone by Wanyan Yi; no matter how you listen it, it was ufortable.
¡°Wanyan Kang, are you my little brother or Feng Cang¡¯s little brother?¡±
Wanyan Kang not giving him face like this in front of Ming Yue Cheng, made Wanyan Yi very angry. If it wasn¡¯t because Ming Yue Cheng was here and Wanyan Yi was having ideas about him; wanting to get support from Ming Yue Cheng, that was why he needed to maintain his image, he would have long gone to Wanyan Kang and beat him.
Seeing these brothers picking at each other mutually, Ming Yue Cheng poured a mouthful wine into his mouth. The way he looked at Wanyan Yi sharpened.
1. Gongzi: young master
2. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
3. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
Chapter 141 The arena (1)
Chapter 141 The arena (1)
¡°In the past, zhen1 was imprisoned in Xi Liang. Princess Zhen Guo showed zhen grace and is now zhen¡¯s friend. So...asking second prince to not defame princess Zhen Guo like this. Her character is noble and she isn¡¯t that kind of person like you said.¡±
After being ¡®reprimanded¡¯ by Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor in front of everyone, Wanyan Yi¡¯s face immediately turned red like a cooked shrimp. He hadn¡¯t imagined that Murong Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng knew each other. Afterughing awkwardly twice, Wanyan Yi put this hatred on Wanyan Kang.
Afterwards, Wanyan Yi provoked while adding oil and adding vinegar in front of Lin Ke Xin for a long time, making Lin Ke Xin feel even more that this youngest son had been raised for nothing. He was biased towards Feng Cang on everything. Could it be that he wanted to create a good rtionship with Feng Cang to let Feng Cang support him on bing the crown prince and be the dark horse in the fight for the throne?
Adding oil and adding vinegar: adding details while telling a story
¡°Your little brother was too much! You¡¯re his biological big brother!¡± Lin Ke Xin looked at Wanyan Yi¡¯s face, which was full of grievances. She raised her voice, ¡°Could it be that he doesn¡¯t care about the feelings between blood?!¡±
¡°Consort mother, don¡¯t be angry! Little brother is just a bit unruly! That¡¯s nothing with this subject son. It¡¯s natural to yield to one¡¯s little brother. It was just, Ming Yue Cheng may have misunderstood this subject son because of this. This subject son fears that his impression is not that great about this subject son.¡±
After hearing Wanyan Yi, the taste in Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart was difficult to describe.
Both were meat that fell from her body. Why couldn¡¯t Wanyan Kang be so thoughtful and save people¡¯s worry like Wanyan Yi?! Every time, it¡¯s big brother who yielded to little brother. Now, little brother still had other ideas. Wanyan Kang really did Wanyan Yi wrong.
¡°Yi er,2 don¡¯t worry. Consort mother is well aware of the situation. We can¡¯t depend on your little brother anymore! If he didn¡¯t cause any trouble, then the lord Buddha has preserved us! As for Ming Yue Cheng, don¡¯t think too much and don¡¯t be oversensitive. He¡¯s just Nan Feng¡¯s emperor. Your throne needs the nod of your emperor father.¡±
Although Lin Ke Xin is a woman, but she went through many challenging experiences in the pce. She knew Wanyan Lie¡¯s personality very well. From her point of view, if they could settle Wanyan Lie, every problem would be solved. This dynasty was Wanyan Lie¡¯s. He would give it to the one he liked. If they could make Wanyan Lie happy, then this matter would be settled.
¡°Consort mother, what you said makes sense, but this subject son doesn¡¯t know what emperor father likes.¡±
¡°In the past, when your little aunt was still here, you emperor father doted the most on your little aunt. Later, when your little aunt was gone, your emperor father doted most on Feng Cang. Now, Feng Qi Qi has returned. Tell me, who does your emperor father dotes on the most? Did you think that princess Zhen Guo was just an empty shelf?¡±
Lin Ke Xin giving a bit of advice made Wanyan Yi already understand the meaning behind her words. Start with Murong Qi Qi. Starting with her was the best way!
¡°But, consort mother, Feng Qi Qi seems to have prejudice towards this subject son. Thest time she¡¯d entered the pce, you also saw that she likes little brother more...¡±
It¡¯s said that children who cry would get milk. This sentence applied to Wanyan Yi. Seeing the grievance in the eyes of her son, Lin Ke Xin thought for a moment. Then, she revealed a strange smile. ¡°The raw rice is now cooked; after Feng Qi Qi gets pregnant, see if your emperor father would hurry or not!¡±
The raw rice is now cooked: what¡¯s done can¡¯t be changed. Usually, referring to having sex with a girl.
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s words let Wanyan Yi think about that small and exquisite face of Murong Qi Qi. Even the face could be so beautiful; the body must also be delicious!
The appearance of Ming Yue Cheng let the vigorous discussion in the capital about the candidates for the crown prince position subside for a moment. After making trouble for so long, the involved party Feng Cang was still free and unfettered, making everyone¡¯s spirits diminish.
Although Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t in the capital, but Ming Yue Cheng still let people prepare a generous gift and send it over to Nan Lin wangfu.3 In fact, Ming Yue Cheng knew everything that had happened to Murong Qi Qi since she¡¯d arrived at Bei Zhou. He had been paying attention to Murong Qi Qi. He knew that she¡¯s Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo.
Ming Yue Cheng came personally this time with only one purpose. He wanted to form a marriage alliance with Bei Zhou and marry Murong Qi Qi as his empress.
This woman had the ability to stand side by side with him. He didn¡¯t want to miss this opportunity. Although he¡¯d also heard those rumors about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, but in his memories, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance was still like when she was at Xi Qi; fair, clear, fresh and cool.
No matter how her appearance had changed, in his eyes, it didn¡¯t have anything to do with him. He just wanted this woman. To speak frankly and with assurance, this woman who would share ¡®the great responsibility heaven ced on him¡¯ with him, and also this sentence, ¡®no poison, no great man¡¯.
No poison, no great man: a great man has to be ruthless.
When Ming Yue Cheng proposed the marriage alliance to Wanyan Lie and expressed that he wanted to take Murong Qi Qi as his wife, Wanyan Lie went nk for a long moment. It seemed that this niece was as outstanding as her mother. She attracted so many good men.
From all aspects and conditions, Ming Yue Cheng was indeed very good! Young and promising, decisive and forbearing; he¡¯s a person of outstanding talents among the younger generation. If there wasn¡¯t Feng Cang, perhaps he would¡¯ve been a good candidate.
Because there was Feng Cang, it made Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart feel selfish.
His wish, from when he was young, was to fly close together like a pair of birds with Wanyan Ming Yue. But, another phrase for wish was ¡®extravagant hope¡¯. That¡¯s why he could only use such an imperious way to keep Wanyan Ming Yue by his side. Even if she slept without waking up, he felt satisfied. Because she was here, that¡¯s why he had something to rely on in his heart.
However, this thing had always been a regret in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi had encountered the same situation. He hoped the miracle he¡¯d looked forward to for so long, could really happen. So, he wanted to use his own strength to support these siblings.
If they truly loved each other, what does it matter if the world didn¡¯t ept them? He¡¯s the emperor. Everything under the sky is the emperor¡¯s. To the borders ofnd, every individual is the sovereign¡¯s minister. The whole world is his. Who would dare to say the wrongdoings of Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi?
Wanyan Lie was in a daze for half a day, making Ming Yue Cheng unable to not specte the inner heart of this Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor. Him being like this, in the end, did he agree or disagree?
Looking once again at Wanyan Lie, Ming Yue Cheng suddenly discovered something. Between Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyebrows, there was a violet vital energy swaying. It looked like...a gu. That¡¯s right! Correct! Inside Wanyan Lie¡¯s body, there¡¯s a gu! After determining that, Ming Yue Cheng was a bit surprised.
Who put the gu in Wanyan Lie¡¯s body? Looking at this violet color and seeing that it¡¯s also suffused with ck color, this gu must¡¯ve been raised for some years.
Nan Feng¡¯s people were good at using gu. Miao n were experts at using gu. When Ming Yue Cheng was a child, he¡¯d followed behind his empress mother Miao Chu Yun¡¯s side and learned to use gu. Seeing that Wanyan Lie¡¯splexion was not good, naturally, he was able to recognize the gu.
It was just, who put the gu in Wanyan Lie¡¯s body? Could it be that it had something to do with the throne?
Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak about the matter of Wanyan Lie¡¯s body having gu. He wasn¡¯t sure of this matter yet. It wasn¡¯t right to speak about it. Besides, the thing he was most concerned about now, was the marriage alliance between the two countries; his wedding with Murong Qi Qi. It would be the best if Wanyan Lie could nod and agree.
¡°This, zhen had already promised princess Zhen Guo that she could choose her own marriage.¡± Of course, Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t show his thoughts. He could only indirectly reject Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s like that...¡±
How could Ming Yue Cheng not know that Wanyan Lie was indirectly rejecting him? But, he wouldn¡¯t give up on Murong Qi Qi just because he¡¯d touched a nail. He has set his eyes on this girl. He would still keep his position of empress for her.
Not long after Nan Feng¡¯s diplomats arrived in the capital, Dong Lu¡¯s diplomats also came. They brought their beautiful like flower princess. Their purpose was also a marriage alliance. Coincidentally, the prince consort Dong Lu set its eyes on was Feng Cang.
¡°Tsk, tsk, Cang, it turned out your charm is so big. The princess made it clear that she wants to marry you!¡± When Murong Qi Qi found out about Dong Lu¡¯s princess Xia Yun Xi¡¯s promation, where she dered that she wouldn¡¯t marry anyone else if it¡¯s not Feng Cang, she (MQQ) bit Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Qing Qing, hurt...¡± The jealousy of the little woman made Feng Cang¡¯s heart very happy. His big hand stroked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair and he grunted once.
¡°Hurt?¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head and looked at the faint smile in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes. ¡°Humph! I bite to hurt you! Leaving my teeth marks on your body, then you could directly show it to Xia Yun Xi and say that you¡¯re someone who has a woman!¡±
¡°Qing Qing, I mean my bones are strong, don¡¯t crack your teeth and hurt yourself!¡±
Facing such a Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t get angry. No matter how he was with outsiders, towards her, he had been always gentle as jade. It was just, everyone loved a good man. Butterflies were always like weeds. Even wildfire couldn¡¯t extinguish them. When the spring breeze blew, they woulde to life again.
¡°I am jealous...¡±
¡°I know.¡± Feng Cang picked up Murong Qi Qi and looked at her face to face, ¡°Ming Yue Cheng wants to take you as wife. When I knew about it, how could I not be jealous!¡±
¡°Hateful!¡± Feng Cang saying it like that, Murong Qi Qiid in his arms, ¡°These stinky flies and mosquitoes are so hateful. A beautiful honeymoon was also disturbed by them...¡±
¡°Qing Qing wants to return to the capital?¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang had guessed her thoughts, Murong Qi Qi chuckled, ¡°If we don¡¯t go back and show our prestige, even a tiger would be seen as a sick cat! They even dared to set eyes on my man. I would like to see how many heads that Xia Yun Xi has!¡±
¡°Ha...¡± Used to seeing the tenderness of Murong Qi Qi; when she asionally exposes her violent side, Feng Cang bes almost startled. No matter what, this woman was beautiful!
The Nan Lin wang4 and princess Zhen Guo who went to rest outside, have now returned to the capital. This news was like it had grown wings and spread throughout the whole capital.
Now, there would be a good show! Everyone polished their eyes and stared fixedly at the situation in court. Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were biological siblings. Now, Ming Yue Cheng was asking for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and Dong Lu¡¯s princess wanted Feng Cang to be the prince consort.
If these two siblings went in ordance with the normal trajectory, one would be Nan Feng¡¯s empress and the other Dong Lu¡¯s prince consort. With their feelings between siblings, Nan Feng would definitely stand behind Feng Cang. By then, Feng Cang would get Nan Feng¡¯s and Dong Lu¡¯s support. He would certainly sit on this Bei Zhou¡¯s throne!
What the citizen could think of, how could Wanyan Yi not think of it? Why, why was Feng Cang so lucky? If Murong Qi Qi became Nan Feng¡¯s empress, with Ming Yue Cheng as brother-inw, then wouldn¡¯t Feng Cang be like a tiger that has grown wings?!
Tiger that has grown wings: be more powerful
Wanyan Yi hated, hated the fact that he didn¡¯t have a little sister. Otherwise, he could have given his little sister to Ming Yue Cheng. He would then also have a brother-inw. He wouldn¡¯t then be like this; suppressed everywhere by Feng Cang.
Even more hateful was that Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun wouldn¡¯t marry anyone else if it wasn¡¯t Feng Cang!
What was so great about Feng Cang? Why did one after another fall in love with Feng Cang? Could it be that she didn¡¯t know Feng Cang¡¯s reputation? Why didn¡¯t she choose him (WY)? If he married Dong Lu¡¯s princess, behind him would be Dong Lu¡¯s support. Why would he then need to worry about Feng Cang fighting for the throne with him?
Every good luck went to Nan Lin wangfu and fell on the Feng siblings. Could it be that they were proud children of heaven? Did heaven love them so much?
No! He couldn¡¯t let their marriages seed! Wanyan Yi clenched his fists. He would definitely not let the marriage alliances of Nan Feng and Dong Lu seed. The power in Feng Cang¡¯s hands could already turn the sky. If he gets Nan Feng and Dong Lu¡¯s support, then wouldn¡¯t this Bei Zhou be as easy as reaching it from a bag for him?
If Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi knew Wanyan Yi¡¯s thoughts, they would certainly apud with both hands and support his decision! The two of them were eager for these problems to be solved. If Wanyan Yi really thought of ways to solve these problems, don¡¯t know how happy these two people would be!
That Feng Cang had returned, made Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi, the happiest person around. Xia Yun Xi had long heard about Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful reputation. The number one beautiful man in the world. Besides, he¡¯s also the god of war. Such a man, under the sky, there was only one, Feng Cang, ah!
When Xia Yun Xi was very little, she saw Feng Cang. Then, she was only six. She was still a little girl. At that time, Feng Cang had been sent on a diplomatic mission to Dong Lu. She saw Feng Cang at the pce banquet. Back then, Feng Cang was fifteen or sixteen years old. But at that time, he already had a beautiful reputation outside. It made this little girl, from the very first nce, decide to grow up quickly and be Feng Cang¡¯s bride.
Now, she was already sixteen years old. After rejecting many suitors, Xia Yun Xin made her thoughts clear to her emperor father. She also expressed that she wouldn¡¯t marry anyone else other than Feng Cang.
Being the pearl in Dong Lu¡¯s emperor Xia Jin¡¯s palm, towards anything Xia Yun Xi say, Xia Jin would try to fulfil her desires. Xia Yun Xi loved Feng Cang and wanted to be Nan Lin wangfei.5 Xia Jin didn¡¯t say anything further and sent diplomats toe ask for a marriage alliance.
Although, usually for a marriage alliance, the two countries would negotiate first. After determining the conditions, then they would have the wedding and send over the princess. However, Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t wait a day longer. After pestering for a long time, Xia Jin finally agreed to let Xia Yun Xi go with the diplomats.
¡°Hong Ye, do you think that I look beautiful like this?¡±
After hearing that Feng Cang had returned to the capital, Xia Yun Xi immediately let her maidservants dress her up. She also let them put out all her beautiful clothes. One by one, she tried them on. ¡°You say, what kind of clothes does Feng Cang like? He likes white, then I would wear a white dress, is that good?¡±
After trying on a couple of clothes, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face was glowing with a flush. Her small nose was covered with ayer of fine sweat, ¡°Hong Ye, tell me quickly, ah!¡±
¡°Princess is beautiful no matter what you wear!¡± The maid called Hong Ye chimed, ¡°Nan Lin wang likes pure white. Why don¡¯t princess choose a white dress? It¡¯s earthly and refined, you would definitely be able to let him fall head over heels in love with you!¡±
¡°Right, right, right! Then the white one is good!¡±
Almost being able to see the person of her dreams from her childhood, Xia Yun Xi felt very excited. Soon, she¡¯ll see Feng Cang. She couldn¡¯t not be happy. Ten years, she had loved this man for ten years. Every day of these past ten years, Xia Yun Xi felt that time went by very slowly. She¡¯d wished that she could grow up in one night ande to be Feng Cang¡¯s bride.
Now, she¡¯d finally waited until her dreams was about toe true. How could she not be excited?!
After putting on a white dress, Hong Yebed a noble yet excellent hairstyle for Xia Yun Xi. After looking for a long time in the mirror, Xia Yun Xi nodded satisfied, ¡°Hong Ye, it¡¯s still your craftmanship that¡¯s great!¡±
¡°Princess, what kind of headdress do you want to use?¡± Hong Ye opened the jewelry box. Xia Yun Xi picked a set ¡®Moonlight¡¯ that Guanghua gongzi had designed. The whole set was made with blue fluorite. It was like a butterfly. It had been given to her by Dong Lu¡¯s emperor Xia Jin on Xia Yun Xi¡¯s ceremony of bing an adult.
When Hong Ye carefully decorated Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hair with ¡®Moonlight¡¯, a lovely and beautiful woman appeared in front of the mirror.
¡°Princess, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±
¡°Really? Thank you!¡± Xia Yun Xi looked left and looked right. Only after facing the mirror for a long time, did she nod with satisfaction, ¡°Right, did you send the invitation to Nan Lin wangfu? Hong Ye, will Feng Cange to the appointment? I¡¯m so nervous now. I¡¯m about to see him. I am so excited and also so afraid!¡±
Seeing the petite and beautiful princess acting like this, Hong Yeughed, ¡°Princess, don¡¯t be nervous. Nan Lin wang isn¡¯t a monster that eats people. It would be fine if you act normally! You¡¯re so beautiful. He¡¯ll certainly fall in love with you!¡±
With Hong Ye¡¯s encouragement, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face burned. She was about to see the person she had thought about day and night; how could she not be thrilled?!
At Nan Lin wangfu, Murong Qi Qi looked over and over again at the pink invitation. Above the Musca¡¯s head and Chinese pistachio tree pattern, was obviously a woman¡¯s handwriting. Looking at the inscription, Murong Qi Qi could guess that this invitation had been personally written by Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Just arrived home, but this invitation has alreadye. The speed is so fast, ah!¡± Murong Qi Qi humphed once and pouted. Her hand brushed past the invitation. The originally pink invitation immediately turned yellow. The wind blew, it turned into ashes.
Wanyan Kang was at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. Seeing her reveal such an act, he was stunned from being scared, ¡°Cousin...cousin-inw, you¡¯re so powerful!¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi was powerful like this. He immediately took a few steps back to stay far away from Murong Qi Qi. He was afraid that if she just moved her hand, he would also be ashes.
¡°Coward!¡± At a side, Su Mei sneered once. She raised an eyebrow, ¡°Fifth highness, in the future, you wouldn¡¯t dare to call our miss ¡®ugly thing¡¯ anymore!¡±
Seeing that Su Mei joking and making fun of him, Wanyan Kang smiled embarrassingly. ¡°Then, my eyes were blind and didn¡¯t see that cousin-inw is a beauty that could cause the fall of a capital! Little Mei er, don¡¯t make fun of me anymore!¡±
¡°Haha!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s embarrassing stature amused Su Mei and Su Yue.
¡°Don¡¯tugh at me anymore! It¡¯s better to think about how to deal with this princess Yun!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s handsome face got red. He changed the subject to Xia Yun Xi. Sure enough, after hearing this, Su Yue and Su Mei became silent.
¡°What¡¯s to be done? Sd with dressing! Su Mei, let people go decline Xia Yun Xi. Say that wangye doesn¡¯t have time and needs to apany princess Zhen Guo to go shopping! Su Yue, help me dress up. Ah Kang, go invite your cousin brother over. Say that we¡¯re bored to death and want to go shopping.¡±
MQQ is ying with words here. What¡¯s to be done: zen me ban...sd with dressing: liang ban. It¡¯s means that MQQ wants it to be dealt with coldly
¡°Since being bestowed the title of princess, I didn¡¯t show my face in the capital. It so happens that it¡¯s best to go and reveal my face. Be brash and mboyant to let people know that in this Nan Lin wangfu, there¡¯s still a princess Zhen Guo!¡±
After Murong Qi Qi said this, Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a smile. It seemed that miss was about to show her prestige. There would be a good show to see! After Wanyan Kang heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, he revealed a naughty smile. In this world, there¡¯s really only cousin-inw who could match cousin brother! These two really were a perfect match!
When the people Xia Yun Xi had sent returned and said that Feng Cang didn¡¯t have time and needed to apany princess Zhen Guo to go shopping, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s eyes became red. Her teeth bit her lips tightly. ¡°Go, go inquire where they are going. I will also go!¡±
¡°Princess...,¡± Seeing Xia Yun Xi acting like this, Hong Ye wanted to dissuade her. She¡¯d just opened her mouth, when she was interrupted by Xia Yun Xi, ¡°Hong Ye, don¡¯t stop me! Even if I put down the dignity of princess, I still need to get Feng Cang¡¯s heart!¡±
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
2. Er: term of endearment

5. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
Chapter 142 The arena (2)
Chapter 142 The arena (2)
When Xia Yun Xi arrived, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were already at the famous restaurant of the capital ¡®White Cloud Restaurant¡¯. Today, because of the arrival of Nan Lin wang1 and princess Zhen Guo, this White Cloud Restaurant was very lively.
Although everyone had seen Feng Cang many times, but no one had ever seen this legendary princess Zhen Guo.
Ever since Murong Qi Qi came to Bei Zhou, she had been hidden by Feng Cang in the wangfu.2 Aside from going to the pce, meeting some royals and nobles, the citizens of this capital didn¡¯t have any opportunities to see Murong Qi Qi. Moreover, the appearance of Murong Qi Qi, after she took down the Water Moon Mirror, had been rumored to be extremely brilliant. Their hearts had long itched to see the now number one beauty of the world.
Now, Nan Lin wang had brought princess Zhen Guo along and appeared at White Cloud Restaurant. This was simply explosive news. Not a whileter, this news got out. Many people came after hearing the news, making White Cloud Restaurant be very crowded and packed. All hade to see the elegant bearing of this number one beauty of the capital.
¡°Tsk, tsk, cousin-inw, today White Cloud Restaurant certainly earned a lot. You say, should we let the boss treat our meals?¡± Wanyan Kang leaned on the window of the second floor. The room they were in faced the arena of the restaurant below.
¡°A prince being so stingy!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s words let Su Mei berate him lightly. ¡°Our miss isn¡¯t as stingy as you!¡±
¡°This is not stingy, alright! Living at home is all about meticulous nning and careful ounting!¡±
Looking at Wanyan Kang and Su Mei bicker, Murong Qi Qi was in a very good mood. She nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms, ¡°Cang, tell me, don¡¯t they look like a quarrelsome but loving couple?¡±
¡°Very much like!¡± Feng Cang nodded and fed Murong Qi Qi the dim sum in his hand.
¡°Ah Kang, do you like our Su Mei? If you like her, thene ask for her hand. I¡¯ll betroth Su Mei to you!¡± Murong Qi Qi ate the dim sum in small bites, but her eyes swept over Su Mei and Wanyan Kang. The more she looked, the more she felt that their features had the simrity of an old couple. They¡¯re really a pair of living treasures.
¡°Cousin-inw, do you mean it? What do I need to ask for her hand? I¡¯ll go prepare!¡±
¡°Miss, I don¡¯t want to marry this skirt-chaser! I want to apany miss!¡±
The two opened their mouths at the same time, but the words they said were in contrast of each other. After Murong Qi Qi heard that, she pretended to frown, ¡°Ay, what to do? I was thinking to marry Su Mei off sooner, but Su Mei isn¡¯t willing. Then forget about it! It seemed that ah Kang didn¡¯t put his efforts in the right ce, ah! After so long, he still didn¡¯t get the beauty¡¯s heart!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s teasing made Wanyan Kang anxious. He immediately grabbed Su Mei¡¯s hand, ¡°Little Mei er,3 where do I look like a skirt-chaser? In my wangfu, there isn¡¯t even one woman! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go search!¡±
¡°Search, your head!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s words were so straightforward, making Su Mei blush. She took her hand out of his. A chestnut knocked on Wanyan Kang¡¯s head. ¡°Anyway, I won¡¯t marry. I would like to apany miss more!¡±
Su Mei and Wanyan Kang¡¯s rtionship was so good, making Su Yue a bit envious. Su Mei¡¯s major turning point of lifelong import was already determined, then what about herself? Thinking till here, in front of Su Yue¡¯s eyes appeared Nn Xin¡¯s shadow. Ever since she got to know that Nn Xin had followed her, Su Yue didn¡¯t show Nn Xin any good expressions. However, that man seemed to have a strong spirit. The more defeated he was, the more courageous he became. Every time he woulde to her full of smiles, but was always left coldly by her at a side. Even then, Nn Xin still didn¡¯t get angry.
Major turning point of lifelong import: usually referring to marriage, since it¡¯s the biggest event in life
It was just, soon afterwards, she remembered the real reason why Nn Xin had approached her, which was to investigate Guanghua gongzi.4 He had just been using her. This let Su Yue¡¯s heart get a knot, which she was unable to untie.
The group of people were still talking when Ruyi came in, ¡°Wangye, Dong Lu¡¯s princess came. She wants to see you!¡±
¡°She came so quickly!¡± After hearing Ruyi, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, which had originally showed her good mood, immediately pouted, ¡°She came a lot faster than I expected!¡±
¡°Decline her, say I don¡¯t have time...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. He faintly declined Xia Yun Xi.
He didn¡¯t even want the slightest inappropriateness to provoke Murong Qi Qi into having other ideas. Now, in his heart, the most important person was Murong Qi Qi. Others, what did it matter if they were a princess or what, in his eyes, they were just fleeting clouds!
¡°Yes!¡± Although Ruyi knew this result, but he still had toe and settle it. When Ruyi went out and declined Xia Yun Xi, saying that wangye didn¡¯t have time, a thinyer of mist appeared in Xia Yun Xi¡¯s eyes.
¡°Why doesn¡¯t wangye want to see me?¡±
This question of Xia Yun Xi was a bit awkward for Ruyi. Could it be to tell her, I¡¯m sorry, please return?! Our wangye wouldn¡¯t be interested in anyone other than wangfei.5 You should give up on this!
If it was Ji Xiang, she would¡¯ve absolutely said this. However, Ruyi couldn¡¯t say such words. Besides, tears were already rolling in this princess¡¯ eyes in front of him, making it appear like he had bullied her. This made Ruyi somewhat not know what to do. So, he simply didn¡¯t speak.
Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t make things difficult because of Ruyi¡¯s silence. Ruyi was only someone who ran errands. He only conveyed Feng Cang¡¯s meaning. However, Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t want to give up like this. She travelled all the way from Dong Lu for Feng Cang. If she gave up just because the other party had rejected her twice, then this love was not very firm.
Now, getting Feng Cang¡¯s attention was what Xia Yun Xi wanted to do the most. As she thought about it, Xia Yun Xi saw White Cloud Restaurant¡¯s arena on the first floor. On the banner above it was written ¡®arena¡¯.
¡°Arena?¡± Xia Yun Xi was somewhat surprised. She immediately let Hong Ye go inquire what it was used for.
A short whileter, Hong Ye returned to Xia Yun Xi¡¯s side.
¡°Miss, although White Cloud Restaurant is a restaurant, but the most famous thing here is the arena on the first floor. No matter what kind of identity, what kind of status, what kind of wealth, everyone could perform at the arena in White Cloud Restaurant. Poetic songs or the four arts (zither, Go, calligraphy, painting); anything can be done!¡±
¡°When challenging a party, you can name the challenger. However, before that, you have to show your talent and get the public recognition. Only then, can you pick the opponent. The challenged party, unless he/she admits defeat on the spot, otherwise he/she can¡¯t refuse. As for the judges, they¡¯re White Cloud Restaurant¡¯s guests. Whoever gets the most apuse and shouts is the victorious party!¡±
In a few words, Hong Ye listed all the characteristics of White Cloud Restaurant¡¯s arena.
Battle on the arena? Challenge? This was a very novel thing. Seeing this arena, Xia Yun Xi suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. She needed to attract Feng Cang¡¯s attention and also tell the whole Yan capital that Feng Cang was the man she had set her eyes on. He would be her, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s prince consort!
Xia Yun Xi whispered a few words in Hong Ye¡¯s ears. Hong Ye opened her eyes widely. She looked shocked at Xia Yun Xi, ¡°Princess, do you really want to perform at the arena? You¡¯re a daughter of the noblest family, ah!¡±
In ancient times, daughters of prominent families don¡¯t perform for outsiders. That is the work of prostitutes and dancers.
¡°Hong Ye, he refused to see me. If I don¡¯t do this, how could I attract his attention?! He forced me to this! I have to challenge princess Zhen Guo. He¡¯s Feng Qi Qi¡¯s big brother. Naturally, he would pay attention to the arena and would also pay attention to me. Like that, I would have the opportunity to see him!¡±
Her princess¡¯s obsession with Feng Cang made Hong Ye very helpless. Since she was at Xia Yun Xi¡¯s side, the thing she heard most every day was the name ¡®Feng Cang¡¯. Xia Yun Xi simply waspletely obsessed with Feng Cang!
Xia Yun Xi was set on this idea. She wouldn¡¯t listen to anyone¡¯s dissuasion. She stood upright on the arena and hit the drum. With the sound of the drum, the guests of White Cloud Restaurant knew that someone wanted to perform on the arena again. When everyone saw the beautiful girl, they were a bit surprised. It¡¯s actually a woman who wanted to perform on the arena? This was a new thing, ah!
¡°Who is that woman? She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± The one who wanted to perform was a woman. Besides, it was a beautiful woman. This was big news. Immediately, everyone¡¯s eyes concentrated on Xia Yun Xi.
Seeing the eyes of the audience downstairs, Xia Yun Xi knew that she had won this bet. In these times, were would there be women who showed their faces in public? Today, she threw everything out and stood here. Everything was for Feng Cang! She wouldn¡¯t give up easily!
Had to say, what Xia Yun Xi wore today was very likeable. A in white dress, plus those blue stars in her hair coupled with that demure and charming small face, which made everyone couldn¡¯t help but fall in love with upon seeing her. All of these people couldn¡¯t help but want to take her in their arms and protect her.
¡°Your Majesty, the woman on the arena is Dong Lu¡¯s princess...Xia Yun Xi. It¡¯s said that she chased after Feng Cang to this ce...¡±
At a side, Fu Er stood by Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s side and carefully served him. After Ming Yue Cheng returned to the country, he rewarded the very loyal Fu Er heavily. Now, Fu Er had been serving Ming Yue Cheng left and right.
Within the first moments of Feng Cang¡¯s return, Ming Yue Cheng got this news. Knowing that he (FC) had brought Murong Qi Qi over, Ming Yue Cheng also arrived at White Cloud Restaurant. It was just, he hadete and didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi. Outside of Feng Cang¡¯s room, there were people guarding the door. Ming Yue Cheng found a ce to sit down and drink.
¡°Xia Yun Xi? Haha...¡± Ming Yue Cheng drank wine. His mouth revealed a perfect smile. ¡°Just don¡¯t know who¡¯s the person she picked!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was at White Cloud Restaurant. Very coincidentally, Wanyan Yi was also there. Since Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi had returned to the capital, he let people watch every movement of Nan Lin wangfu.
Feng Cang had apanied Murong Qi Qi to White Cloud Restaurant. After he got this news, he¡¯d immediately rushed there. However, he stayed at another room. He would like to see what kind of trick Feng Cang was ying. This time, he came and actually saw Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi.
Don¡¯t know why, but after seeing Xia Yun Xi for the first time, Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart suddenly jumped ¡®bang, bang¡¯ quickly. Although, having seen many beauties including Murong Qi Qi, such a peerless woman, but only when seeing Xia Yun Xi would his heartbeat elerate. His face also got red.
This woman was weak as the orchids in the wind. Clean, delicate, lovely and very moving. Dressed in a white dress, she was pure like snowkes. Yun Xi, Yun Xi. She was really holy like a cloud. Looking at her, she would make people cherish her.
ÔÆϧ (y¨²nx¨©): yun = cloud, xi=cherish
Although Murong Qi Qi was more beautiful than Xia Yun Xi, but Wanyan Yi had always felt that in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s clear eyes hid things called arrogance and obstinate. He didn¡¯t like that. A woman need to act like a woman. Being like Xia Yun Xi was very good!
All Xia Yun Xi thought of and wanted was Feng Cang. She wanted to attract Feng Cang¡¯s attention, but she didn¡¯t think that the one she would attract was Wanyan Yi.
¡°This little girl is just a neer, asking everyone to look after me!¡± Xia Yun Xi¡¯s voice was very soft. It was soft as wind and a bit warm. When it blew, it made people¡¯s heart itch. She bowed slightly and earned points for her impression.
¡°Today, this little girl wants to challenge one person. But ording to the rules of White Cloud Restaurant, before challenging, one must show their talents first. This little girl doesn¡¯t have many abilities. This little girl barely learned the zither for a few years. Please, forgive this little girl and don¡¯tugh at this little girl!¡±
Xia Yun Xi repeatedly said ¡®little girl¡¯, coupled with her feminine image, she soon got many people¡¯s favorable impression. Many people apuded to support her. There were also people who whistled. The whole scene suddenly livened up.
Presumably, he must have seen her! Xia Yun Xi raised her head and looked towards the upper rooms. Feng Cang must be there. He should be able to see her.
When the boss let people bring a zither up, Xia Yun Xi gently bowed to the crowd. Then, she sat in front of the zither. Her gestures and posture added more to the curiosity of the identity of this beauty.
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s slender and jade like fingers moved over the strings. A song came out.
¡°Tsk, tsk...¡± Upstairs, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body was surrounded by a thinyer of jealousy. She didn¡¯t expect that Xia Yun Xi would pursue Feng Cang to this point. Longing for the youth¡¯s return? Was the person she longed for Feng Cang?
¡°Cang, what to do? She¡¯s already like this! Ay...,¡± Murong Qi Qi gave a long sigh. ¡°Putting down the identity of a country¡¯s princess and actually do to this step is not easy, ah!¡±
¡°Those who¡¯d imagined that their love was reciprocated don¡¯t deserve pity.¡± Feng Cang frowned slightly. His gaze swept once over Xia Yun Xi. Then he retrieved it. This woman, it seems that putting on artificial airs had already permeated deep into her bones. She waspletely not as natural as his Qing Qing. The hidden resentment in this song was no different to a resenting wife.
¡°Longing for the youth¡¯s return?¡± Downstairs, after Ming Yue Cheng heard this song, he almost choked on the wine in his mouth. He had long heard that Dong Lu¡¯s citizens were very open-minded. He didn¡¯t expect that the still not married princess would be able to pursue a man to this point. Really, not easy.
It was just, when seeing Xia Yun Xi¡¯s pair of eyes that was full of affection and grief, Ming Yue Cheng couldn¡¯t help but sneer.
At this moment, his mind thought about that proud woman ying the zither on the boat. Then, that one nce let that woman be imprinted in his heart. Under the sky, presumably there wouldn¡¯t be a woman who couldpare to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lofty passion!
Although Ming Yue Cheng couldn¡¯t take a fancy to Xia Yun Xi, but that didn¡¯t mean she didn¡¯t have a market. For example, Wanyan Yi, at this time, had been charmed by Xia Yun Xi that he hovered between life and death. If it wasn¡¯t because he was in a public ce, he would certainly have gone forward, taken Xia Yun Xi in his arms and smoothed away the mncholy between her eyebrows. How could such a girl not let people cherish and love her?!
In Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes, Feng Cang was absolutely not worthy of Xia Yun Xi. Putting aside her identity of princess and the Dong Lu behind her, just her as a person would let people¡¯s hearts ache for her and love her!
Xia Yun Xi put all the longing she had for the past ten years into the sound of the zither and conveyed it.
She believed that in this world, there wouldn¡¯t be anyone who loved Feng Cang more than her and would be concerned about Feng Cang¡¯s every move more than her. Although, the nine marriages of Feng Cang ended in failures and there were so many rumors about Feng Cang, but she wasn¡¯t afraid! She believed that Feng Cang wasn¡¯t the demon from the rumors. She also believed that only she was the most suitable for Feng Cang.
¡°This woman is really nauseating!¡± Wanyan Kang touched theyer of goose bumps on his body. Indeed, when ying the zither, it was necessary to be full of affection. However, the zither sound of this woman was too arousing of the sympathy and too grieving, making the whole body of the people who listened to it ufortable. It was like the whole world owed her.
¡°Ha...,¡± After Murong Qi Qi heard Wanyan Kang¡¯s sentence, sheughed once. Don¡¯t know when a petal appeared in hands.
Not waiting for Wanyan Kang to understand, the petal in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand already rapidly flew towards Xia Yun Xi. Just when Wanyan Kang thought that Murong Qi Qi would destroy the zither and let Xia Yun Xi unbale to continue ying, the petal fell on the string.
¡°Woong...,¡± sounded. The string didn¡¯t break, but the sound was destroyed. The originally gentle sound, because of this grim sound, it changed taste. It was like a lovable woman with a duck like voice, blotting thendscape.
¡°Cousin inw, awesome!¡± Just a petal, she was able to control to such a point. It was really rare in this world.
Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help but open his eyes. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi became different again. That strength, if it was one point more, the string would be broken; if it was one point less, the petal would float down and wouldn¡¯t made a sound. How long did one need to train to achieve such a state, ah?!
That Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t stay calm made Feng Cang very happy. The jealousy of this little woman was really powerful, but he liked it.
¡°I don¡¯t like listening to a resenting wife¡¯s song. It would affect the mood!¡±
Murong Qi Qi exined like that. Originally, she thought that Xia Yun Xi would give up ying because of the broken sound, she didn¡¯t expect that she (XYX) was a cockroach that was unable to be beaten to death. It was like she wasn¡¯t affected and continue to adhere, making Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but ¡®have a whole new level of respect¡¯ for this Dong Lu¡¯s princess.
It seemed that this woman was different from the previous butterflies. She was somewhat difficult to deal with!
Although the petal breaking the sound really made Xia Yun Xi be dazed, but it didn¡¯t affect her determination. Instead, it let her be very happy.
From where the petal hade from, it should have been Feng Cang¡¯s room. Who was the one who shot it? Could it be Feng Cang? Then, did this mean that he had heard her zither? Did this mean that she was one step closer to him?
If Murong Qi Qi knew that her shot would enhance Xia Yun Xi¡¯s fighting spirit, she would regret being impulsive because of jealousy.
After the ending of the song, Xia Yun Xi won a thunderous apuse. There were three reasons why people apuded for her. One, because her own image made the men, who hade to drink tea, raise the desire to protect her. Two, because her zither sound waspletely mournful and very moving. Three, the insistence she showed when facing a problem. The insistence she showed made people feel more tenderness for this beautiful girl.
¡°Thank you! So, did I pass?¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s question just fell, when someone shouted, ¡°Passed! Who does miss want to challenge?¡±
This question came very timely. Xia Yun Xi was just waiting for someone to ask.
¡°The person this little girl wants to challenge is princess Zhen Guo...Feng Qi Qi!¡±
Upstairs, after Murong Qi Qi heard Xia Yun Xi¡¯s voice, sheughed. Howe every rival she¡¯d encountered would pick on her so directly? Why didn¡¯t they look for Feng Cang, this involved party?
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Er: term of endearment
4. Gongzi: young master
5. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
Chapter 143 I’m your father
Chapter 143 I¡¯m your father
Xia Yun Xi challenged Murong Qi Qi directly, making the people on the scene so surprised, they almost shouted out loudly.
Today, Nan Lin wang brought princess Zhen Guo out for fun. Everyone wanted to see the beautiful face of the number one beauty of the world. Without a choice, Feng Cang protected Murong Qi Qi very well. They came from the backdoor. After entering the room, they didn¡¯t show their faces again.
Now, the opponent for who this prettily and soft woman in front of them performed on the arena, was actually princess Zhen Guo, Murong Qi Qi. This made White Cloud Restaurant immediately explode.
Who was princess Zhen Guo? That was great general Feng Xie¡¯s and princess Ming Yue¡¯s lost baby of many years. Now, although she had been found, but she never showed her face in public. In the hearts of the people, Murong Qi Qi was a girl who exuded mystery from her whole body.
Now, Xia Yun Xi challenged Murong Qi Qi. Don¡¯t know if the princess Zhen Guo who was able to cause the fall of a city from the legends, would or wouldn¡¯t ept the challenge.
The citizens at White Cloud Restaurant were all looking forward to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reply. Upstairs, Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t a bit emotionally moved. She still nestledzily in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed as if she was azy and asleep cat.
After waiting for a long while, there was no movements from upstairs. Xia Yun Xi got a bit nervous. Could it be that Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t dare to perform with her on the arena? Then what should she do? Stand here like a fool?
¡°Princess Zhen Guo, this little girl wants us to learn from each other! Don¡¯t know if princess Zhen Guo could give this little girl face!¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s soft voice floated to upstairs. Murong Qi Qi opened her phoenix eyes. Her mouth revealed a charming smile.
¡°Haha, who are you? What face? Why should bengong give you face?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s cold andzy voice spread from upstairs to downstairs. Her voice revealed a dignity that people couldn¡¯t ignore, but it didn¡¯t hurt the elegance and sweetness of her voice. Just listening to this voice, it would let people¡¯s heart feel like summer and fresh like a cool and fresh water suddenly went into it. It also let the spectators more curious and want to see Murong Qi Qi¡¯s genuine appearance.
Sure enough, that was her character! Murong Qi Qi declining Xia Yun Xi attracted the chuckle and shaking of the head from Ming Yue Cheng. She must¡¯ve long knew Xia Yun Xi¡¯s identity. That was why she deliberately said so. However, that Xia Yun Xi was also too stupid to actually challenge Murong Qi Qi. In the end, how would this matter end? Ming Yue Cheng already defined that in his heart.
After hearing Murong Qi Qi, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face paled. She didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would so not give her face. She (MQQ) ¡®humiliated¡¯ her (XYX) like this in public.
Princess...Seeing Xia Yun Xi¡¯s expression, Hong Ye broke into cold sweats for her princess.
Since small, Xia Yun Xi was pampered. She got everything she wanted. She had never encountered setbacks and also never failed. Now, she was determined to win Feng Cang. However, the moment she came, she was displeased by Murong Qi Qi. How could princess bear this?!
Originally, Hong Ye thought that Xia Yun Xi would back out of an awkward situation. She didn¡¯t expect that she (XYX) still maintained a gently smile and still stood on the arena.
¡°Princess Zhen Guo, the rule of White Cloud Restaurant is, if challenged, one must ept. Otherwise, it¡¯s admitting defeat...¡±
Xia Yun Xi advanced by retreating and wanted to force Murong Qi Qi to appear. However, her words just fell, Murong Qi Qi threw some words down, ¡°The rule of White Cloud Restaurant can¡¯t control bengong. You also know bengong is princess Zhen Guo. How could White Cloud Restaurant¡¯s rule bound the two words Zhen Guo?!¡±
Inside the room, Wanyan Kang gave Murong Qi Qi a thumb-up.
Although, Wanyan Bao Zhu was also an imperial princess, butpared, Murong Qi Qi had more aura of a princess. These words being thrown out, immediately smashed a few people. Even if people weren¡¯t satisfied, but they couldn¡¯t do anything to her because she¡¯s princess ¡®Zhen Guo¡¯ who Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor bestowed personally!
It could be considered that Xia Yun Xi now have experienced Murong Qi Qi¡¯s difficulty to deal with. However, she wouldn¡¯t give up. Feng Cang was in that room. Maybe he was looking at her now. The thought that Feng Cang was at close proximity, her heart got infinite power and very strong courage, ¡°Princess, could it be that you rely on your identity to take unfair advantage of others?¡±
¡°Haha...¡±
A string of crisp like silver bellsughter spread to the ears of the people, cleaning the negative feelings they had for Murong Qi Qi caused by Xia Yun Xi¡¯s ¡®rely on your identity to take unfair advantage of other¡¯. Inside everyone¡¯s ears echoed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s crispyughter. Someone who had such cleanughter, how could she be the kind of person Xia Yun Xi said?!
¡°Is it that bengong is taking unfair advantage or is it that you¡¯re being too forceful? Mm...Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi!¡±
At the opening of the window, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s figure still couldn¡¯t be seen. It was just her voice had long been firmly remembered by people. The moment they heard that the girl on the arena was Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi, they came to the realization.
So, this woman was the Xia Yun Xi who caused an uproar recently and came from the far away Dong Lu to marry Feng Cang?!
Immediately, the way Bei Zhou¡¯s citizens looked at Xia Yun Xi changed. So, it was like this. Chasing a man to this point; the difference between the heart of this Dong Lu¡¯s princess and her external performance was too big...
Her identity being exposed by Murong Qi Qi was outside Xia Yun Xi¡¯s expectations. However, this woman didn¡¯t give her face, why should she care about so much?!
¡°Haha, before Yun Xi came, Yun Xi already heard princess¡¯s good name. Yun Xi admires princess very much and always sought for an opportunity to get to know princess. Don¡¯t know if princess Zhen Guo could give bengong a chance?! Yun Xi likes to be friends with princess!¡±
¡°Princess Yun, you don¡¯t want to be friends with bengong, but you want to be bengong¡¯s sister-inw!¡±
¡°Since you want to marry into Nan Lin wangfu, it¡¯s better to learn needlework, the feminine arts and how to manage a household. Bengong¡¯s big brother likes gentle anddylike woman the most. Like princess Yun, showing your face in public and challenging people on the arena; if people don¡¯t know, they would think that it¡¯s a daughter of a small family and humble house. Ady of prominent families wouldn¡¯t be like this, let alone a country¡¯s princess!¡±
The mockery in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were something everyone could hear. Like Xia Yun Xi, singing in public like a resenting wife, was remarkably like a woman who went crazy from wanting a man. How was this something a princess would do?!
A true princess should be like Murong Qi Qi; always kept a distance from the citizens, wear a mysterious veil and shouldn¡¯t be hot tempered at the provocations of others. This was the style of royals!
Afterparing the two, the pros and cons of the two countries princesses had been concluded in the people¡¯s heart. The people who just now felt that Xia Yun Xi, this girl was someone worthy of their pity, after getting to know the other party was a princess and seeing that her deeds were not worthy of her identity, it immediately let her image in the public¡¯s mind copse.
¡°Tsk, tsk, in this world, presumably there wouldn¡¯t be a more eloquent woman than cousin-inw...¡±
Originally, Wanyan Kang wanted to use ¡®poisonous tongue¡¯ to describe Murong Qi Qi, butter, the words were already on his lips, he dispelled that thought. He couldn¡¯t afford to offend Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Kang already had a deep understanding of this. He didn¡¯t want to be a cannon fodder and be shot away by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Ah Kang, do you really think like that?¡± Murong Qi Qi looked with a smile yet not a smile at Wanyan Kang. Wanyan Kang immediately sworn, ¡°That¡¯s right! Cousin-inw, I really, truly, definitely think so!¡±
¡°Haha...¡± Murong Qi Qi called Su Yue to her side. She whispered some words in her ears. Su Yue nodded and left White Cloud Restaurant.
¡°Cousin-inw, what did you let Su Yue go do, ah?¡± Wanyan Kang moved closer to her and asked quite interested. However, he didn¡¯t get close to be in front of Murong Qi Qi when he was blocked by Feng Cang¡¯s big hand.
¡°Keep your distance!¡± Feng Cang pointed to let Wanyan Kang stay away from Murong Qi Qi.
Seeing Feng Cang care about Murong Qi Qi so much, Wanyan Kang shouted, ¡°Cousin brother, you weren¡¯t like this before! You shouldn¡¯t be so narrow-minded!¡±
¡°Acting spoiled is of no use in front of me! If you want to act spoiled...,¡± Feng Cang looked at Su Mei. ¡°Go find Su Mei!¡±
Even guye teased her and Wanyan Kang¡¯s matter made Su Mei blush, ¡°Guye, what kind of joke are you making?! I don¡¯t have any rtion with him!¡±
Upstairs, the group of people were ying lively. Downstairs, Xia Yun Xi stood a bit awkward on the arena. Going forward was not right, backing down was also not right.
Xia Yun Xi never knew that Murong Qi Qi was someone who even salt nor oil could enter. Putting it in the past, she only needed to provoke two sentences and use an indirect psychological method to get one to do as she wished, the other party would long have stamped their feet in fury. However, Murong Qi Qi was the same as a living dough. No matter what she did, she (MQQ) didn¡¯t show up. What should she do now?
Just the thought that Feng Cang was upstairs and at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side, the originally wanting to give up heart of Xia Yun Xi persisted. Only one more step, she would be able to get close to the person she loves. If she gave up so easily, didn¡¯t this mean that she wasn¡¯t a bit firm in the love for him?!
¡°Princess Zhen Guo saying this, could it be you¡¯re afraid?!¡± Xia Yun Xi stared at upstairs. She really hoped that Feng Cang¡¯s figure could appear. However, a long while after this sentence was said, no one responded.
¡°Princess Zhen Guo? Feng Qi Qi!¡± Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t help and directly called Murong Qi Qi¡¯s name, but she heard a man¡¯s voice spread over.
¡°Our wangye and princess already left. Wangye had a sentence to convey to princess. Wangye asked, are you really a princess? He had never seen such a princess like you! Presumably, among the four countries, only Dong Lu¡¯s princess would be like this...¡±
Ruyi answered Xia Yun Xi from upstairs. Just now, Murong Qi Qi let Su Yue go prepare the carriage. Now, it¡¯s great. The whole group left, only leaving him to convey their words. All the thing to offend people was done by him!
¡°Hahaha!¡± The words Ruyi conveyed, obviously were filled with sarcasm towards Xia Yun Xi. When people heard that, they felt more and more that Feng Cang was right. In the end, they allughed!
From young till now, when had Xia Yun Xi received such humiliation. Feng Cang¡¯s words were obviously ridiculing her! Now, thesemoners were alsoughing at her. Really audacious to the extreme!
¡°What are youughing at?! If you continueugh, I will let emperor father execute you and all your rtives!¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s words made the citizens more speechless. Some people shouted at a side, ¡°Princess, I¡¯m so afraid, yo! Didn¡¯t expect that the hand of Dong Lu¡¯s emperor is stretched so long. He could actually control till our Bei Zhou!¡±
This person seemed to be deliberately provocative. Xia Yun Xi cried from anger because of these words, ¡°You all bully me! I¡¯ll go back and tell emperor father!¡±
With a stomp, Xia Yun Xi left the arena.
When Wanyan Kang told Murong Qi Qi the result, Su Mei and Su Yueughed, ¡°Your highness, didn¡¯t expect that you have the potential to spoof. Thest sentence was so funny!¡±
It turned out that thest sentence was deliberately left by Wanyan Kang till thest moment.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s mood was very good after amusing Su Mei. However, after thinking about it, Murong Qi Qi rejected Xia Yun Xi¡¯s challenge of the arena, that woman would definitely not leave the matter at that. He couldn¡¯t help but worry about the lovers in front of him.
¡°Cousin-inw, this Xia Yun Xi is the pearl of Xia Jin¡¯s hands. She¡¯s very treasured. You humiliated her today like that, I am afraid that she wouldn¡¯t leave the matter at that!¡±
Wanyan Kang was right, but Murong Qi Qi also wasn¡¯t afraid of Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Ah Kang, you¡¯re wrong! The one who humiliated her was herself. Besides, it was Ruyi who said those nasty words. He represented Cang¡¯s meaning. It doesn¡¯t have anything to do with me! Don¡¯t rte everything to me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s excuse couldn¡¯t help but let Wanyan Kang sweat. Who was it that didn¡¯t go through Feng Cang¡¯s consent, directly ordered Ruyi and taught him to say those words? How could a person not admit the things he/she just done? It seemed, it¡¯s better to offend a viin than to offend Murong Qi Qi. This thought rooted deeply in Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s guess was not wrong. Aftering out of White Cloud Restaurant, Xia Yun Xi almost cried back to Dong Lu¡¯s embassy.
As a princess, when had Xia Yun Xi suffered such grievances? All was because of Murong Qi Qi! She had long heard that Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtionship wasn¡¯t ordinary. Perhaps it was her who sow dissension, causing her today to not even see Feng Cang¡¯s face.
¡°Damned Feng Qi Qi!¡± Xia Yun Xi grabbed a small pce maid to her. She pulled a hairpin on her head and stabbed it in the small pce maid¡¯s body.
¡°Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me!¡±
The small pce maid quickly protected her body, but she didn¡¯t expect that her act of dodging would anger Xia Yun Xi more.
¡°I let you doge! I look at how you dodge!¡± Xia Yun Xi clutched the small pce maid. She exerted strength to stab the small pce maid¡¯s body. In no time, there were more than a few blood holes on the small pce maid¡¯s body.
¡°Princess, cool down your anger!¡± Knowing that her princess began to torture people again, Hong Ye quickly went forward to pat Xia Yun Xi¡¯s back and massage her shoulders. At the same time, she gestured with her eyebrows to let the small pce maid leave quickly.
With Hong Ye¡¯s saving, the small pce maid quickly wiped her tears, kowtowed and thanked for this grace. She quickly went out.
¡°Hong Ye, did you see? Today, they wereughing at me! They all looked at me as a joke! If at Dong Lu, I would certainly let emperor father cut all their heads off!¡±
Although, Xia Yun Xi always used dirty ways on her pce maids, but to her confidante Hong Ye, she valued her very much. Being at her (XYX) side for so many years, Hong Ye didn¡¯t suffer physical pain.
¡°Princess, don¡¯t be angry anymore! Today didn¡¯t work, but isn¡¯t there future?! Bei Zhou ns to hold a pce banquet. This is a good opportunity, ah! Princess, you could grab this chance and overwhelm everyone, ah!¡±
Hong Ye knew the temper of this princess. She could only stroke in the direction the hair was going. If she went against her (XYX) wishes, the one who would suffer and be put in a lot of trouble would still be her. Perhaps, she would even lose her life because of this.
Hong Ye sessfully changed the subject, making Xia Yun Xi¡¯s frustration reduce slightly.
Today¡¯s thing was a bit reckless, that was why it became information that could be turned into a joke by Murong Qi Qi. Wait until they¡¯re at the pce banquet and in front of the monarch and the ministers. If Murong Qi Qi ¡®retreats and escapes¡¯ again, then that¡¯s cowardice!
After untying the knot in her heart, Xia Yun xi was full of confidence again. No matter what, today she had showed her face. Feng Cang certainly had seen her. Wait until the pce banquet; when she brings out her implicit and innate qualities, Feng Cang would definitely like her.
¡°Hong Ye, before Feng Qi Qi became princess Zhen Guo, she was just a rubbish. Howe today listening to her, she wasn¡¯t in line with a rubbish, ah?! Tell me, on the pce banquet, in front of so many people, would she reject me like today?¡±
¡°Princess, she¡¯s only eloquent. In other areas, she¡¯s certainly not as good as you! At the pce banquet, if you proposed apetition, she wouldn¡¯t refuse. She could fool the citizen. If she wants to botch you like today in front of the officials and the emperor, she wouldn¡¯t be able to afford to lose this face!¡±
Hong Ye¡¯s words was like a reassurance making Xia Yun Xi¡¯s mood very good. Feng Qi Qi, you wait and see! The position of Nan Lin wangfei is mine for certain! No matter if you admit or don¡¯t admit, I will be your sister-inw!
When Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi just returned to Nan Lin wangfu and the two just entered Tingsong building, they sensed the strangeness. The two exchanged a nce and pretended that there was nothing. One went to the desk, the other went to the bed. However, when they were about the reach their destination, the two turned around at the same time.
The plum dart in Feng Cang¡¯s hand and the golden thread in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand shot out at the same time and went straight to the roof.
¡®Bang...¡¯ sounded. The plum dart had been knocked down to the ground. A person in ck appeared in front of them.
¡°Who are you?¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s golden thread wrapped around the other party¡¯s neck as if, if the other party moved a bit, the other party¡¯s head would be cut off by her golden thread.
Feng Xie looked at the Murong Qi Qi in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt love. Even if his life was now still in her hands, but this is his biological daughter, ah! Just now, Feng Cang used a plum dart to attract his attention and help Murong Qi Qi seed. These two people coordinated really wlessly!
¡°Say! Who are you! What did youe here for?¡±
Seeing that the masked ck person didn¡¯t speak, the golden thread in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand tightened. If the other party was an enemy, she wouldn¡¯t mind taking the other party¡¯s life.
¡°Qi Qi...,¡± Feng Xie¡¯s voice was somewhat bleak. He raised his hand and slowly removed the ck cloth in front of his face.
¡°Aren¡¯t you the monk at the pagoda to drive away evil spirits?¡± Seeing the other party¡¯s face, Murong Qi Qi was surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t you pass away?¡±
Murong Qi Qi said that, Feng Cang also remembered. This person was the one who sent Murong Qi Qi the five-colored plum. However, why did he look this way? Why did he appear at Tingsong building? Feng Cang carefully looked at the person n ck in front of him. He wanted to obtain some clues from his appearance.
Although surprised, but Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t n on retrieving the golden thread in her hand yet. She didn¡¯t know if this person was a foe or a friend. That was why she couldn¡¯t lower her guard.
Feng Xie admired Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thought. Indeed, it was very important to be careful and cautious before figuring out the true identity of the enemy. In the past, he was too careless. That was why he was stabbed in the back by his good brother (friend), making his family ruined, homeless and miserable for so many years.
¡°I¡¯m Feng Xie, your father.¡±
The few words from Feng Xie were like thunder, making Murong Qi Qi got a burst of dizziness. Didn¡¯t Feng Xie die? Why did he suddenly appear? Is this person real or false?
Chapter 144 Reunion
Chapter 144 Reunion
Murong Qi Qi hadn¡¯t seen the real Feng Xie. She couldn¡¯t judge if the words of this person in front of her were reliable. It was just, Feng Xie was once a world famous handsome man. But, the man in front of her waspletely different from the image from the legends.
Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t judge the truthfulness of the words of the person in ck in front of her. It was Feng Cang who excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Feng Xie¡¯s hands. Even if he forgot everything, he wouldn¡¯t forget Feng Xie¡¯s voice and that pair of eyes of him. Only these two points, Feng Cang could certainly determine that this person in ck was the renowned Bei Zhou¡¯s war god...Feng Xie.
¡°Father, it¡¯s really you!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s hand trembled slightly. Murong Qi Qi could hear a trace of tremble in the excitement of Feng Cang¡¯s voice. It seemed that this person is really her real dad...
¡°Cang er!¡± Feng Xie tightly held Feng Cang¡¯s hand. He shook them hard, ¡°You¡¯re already so big...good, very good...¡±
The beard on Feng Xie¡¯s chin trembled slightly. He was trying to suppress his emotions to not let his tears fall. Although, in the past, Feng Xie had been following Feng Cang¡¯s growth from a secret ce, but he never identified himself in person. Now, Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®father¡¯ brought out all Feng Xie¡¯s emotions.
¡°Father, you are still alive! So great!¡± Feng Cang cried a bit tears of joy. That Feng Xie was still alive, how good of a news was that to him, ah?!
¡°Qing Qing, he¡¯s your dad. He¡¯s your dad!¡±
Feng Cang pulled Murong Qi Qi to Feng Xie, ¡°Qing Qing, this is your father!¡±
The two men were very emotionally excited. In contrast, Murong Qi Qi was the calmest. Father? Feng Xie? Murong Qi Qi looked a bit dumbfounded at Feng Xie.
In the past life, she was a fatherless and a motherless orphan. Although adopted father took her as his own, but in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart, there was still a little regret.
The abandonment of the biological parents had always been a pain her heart couldn¡¯t make up to. How many times, did she meet with her parents in her dreams? She always tried to catch up with their pace and wanted to ask them why they abandoned her. When she woke up, her eyes were full of warm tears.
Now, she was reborned intp this world. She could actually see the biological father of this body. An inexplicable feeling spread in her heart.
The eyes of the man in front of her showed affection. That was a kind of affection which ask for nothing in return and was full of warmth. This kind of warm feeling had been surrounding her. Could this be the feeling of a father?
¡°Qi Qi, I¡¯m really your father!¡± Seeing that Murong Qi Qi stood there and was silent, Feng Xie felt pain in his heart.
Although, this child is his and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, but the moment she was born, she had been taken away. She had been growing up under the roof of others. Now, let her recognize another person as father, from the emotional point of view, it was difficult to bear for Murong Qi Qi.
Not to mention, he originally should be a dead man. Now, he suddenly appeared. It had to be shocking. So, Feng Xie could understand Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts. He also didn¡¯t force her to recognize him.
¡°Take it slowly, Qi Qi. I know, it¡¯s difficult for you to ept such a thing. However, I¡®m really and positively your biological father, Feng Xie.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s understanding and the pain and self-me in his eyes deeply stimted Murong Qi Qi. That self-me was probably the guilt because he didn¡¯t protect his wife and daughter well!
¡°Papa...¡± Murong Qi Qi threw herself in Feng Xie¡¯s arms. All the desire for a family from the past and present life were poured into this ¡®papa¡¯.
Feng Xie was startled. He had never heard the word ¡®papa¡¯, but from the excitement of the daughter in his hands, she should had recognized him. Feng Xie¡¯s hand patted tremblingly on the back of Murong Qi Qi. Ming Yue, Qi Qi recognized me! Qi Qi recognized me!
The pair of father and daughter recognizing each other was a moving thing. Although, Feng Cang had many things he wanted to ask Feng Xie, but he slowly retreated and left this quiet space for this father and daughter.
¡°Papa, why didn¡¯t you and mama want me? Could it be because I wasn¡¯t good and didn¡¯t listen to you¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears.
His daughter¡¯s crying and the ¡®usation¡¯ in her words, made Feng Xie, this man¡¯s eyes get red.
¡°Qi Qi, it was not like this! I and your mother loves you. We love you very much! You¡¯re the child we wished for a decade before getting. How could we not love you?! You don¡¯t know, how happy we were when your mother was pregnant with you! we once fantasied that we must let you be the happiest child in this world and give you all the love! We had never thought about abandoning you and not wanting you!¡±
Feng Xie¡¯s tears fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. In his life, there were only a few times in that he cried.
The first time was when Feng Xie¡¯s best friend, that was, Feng Cang¡¯s father Long Yu died at the hands of arrows. He was unable to save him and could only watch Long Yu be a hedgehog. He cried, cried for being ipetent. The second time was when at Yandang Mountain, he got the news about the death of Wanyan Ming Yue and their child and the news that all those brothers who fought from all quarters with him, were dead. At that time, he cried. The third time was now. His daughter cried so sadly and questioned why they didn¡¯t want her. This let Feng Xie cry.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! Dad wasn¡¯t good! Dad believed too much in people. That was why dad caused the mistake of Yandang mountain, let a traitor find a loophole and let you and your mother suffer so much. It was all dad¡¯s fault! It¡¯s dad who wronged you! But you have to remember, I and your mother will always love you!¡±
Feng Xie¡¯s voice trembled and his tears streamed down. These years, so many hardships, living so difficult and all his strength copsed in front of his daughter¡¯s tears like a surging river.
Feng Xie¡¯s apology swept away all the regret for a family that umted in the heart of Murong Qi Qi. It turned out that it wasn¡¯t because she was bad. It turned out that the parents also had their secret troubles! Then, did the parents who abandoned her in the past life also had their own secret troubles like Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue? Did they also originally wished to give her a happy family and give her a happy life...
All those pessimistic, broken-hearted and sad feelings vanished like smoke in thin air with Feng Xie¡¯s ¡®we will always love you¡¯. Murong Qi Qi suddenly felt that the feeling of having a father was so great. Her heart was filled with the sweetness of happiness. So great
At this time, Murong Qi Qi felt that she was happy! What she didn¡¯t have orcked in the past life, she got them all in this life. Whether it was the intimate lover Feng Cang or the Feng Xie in front of her who kept saying ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡±, they gave her feelings, she never had before. She felt that she was the most blessed person!
Until till the crying disappeared in the room, did Feng Cang open the door and entered. Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s red eyes, Feng Cang felt a burst of pain in his heart. He personally drawn water and wash Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face.
Looking at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s intimate interaction, Feng Xie nodded satisfied. It seemed that from their figures, he could see himself and the Wanyan Ming Yue of that year.
When Murong Qi Qi sorted out her feelings, she slowly walked to Feng Xie and bowed, ¡°Daddy!¡±
¡°Good! Good, good!¡± Feng Xie wiped his tears. He had never thought that his daughter was still alive. Even after knowing that Murong Qi Qi is his and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s child, he didn¡¯t dare to expect Murong Qi Qi to recognize him. Now, a ¡®daddy¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi let all the concerns in Feng Xie¡¯s heart disappear.
¡°Father!¡± Feng Cang bowed in front of Feng Xie at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side. However, Feng Cang added one more sentence, ¡°Perhaps, I should change the way of addressing you and call you father-inw!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang say that, Murong Qi Qi blushed. Feng Xie saw the two children being like that, he happily helped them up, ¡°Good! Whether it¡¯s father or father-inw, there¡¯s no difference! It¡¯s all family!¡±
Feng Xie¡¯s family was a great affirmation of Feng Cang. ¡°Father-inw, didn¡¯t you already leave the mortal realm? Why did you be a monk at the pagoda to drive away evil spirits? What happened that year at Yandang Mountain?¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s questions transferred Feng Xie¡¯s attention to the matter of that year. Looking at that face of Murong Qi Qi that was simr to Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s, Feng Xie¡¯s voice began to tremble.
¡°That year someone betrayed our military intelligence to Xi Qi and also put a poison in our food. He/she also opened the gate and led the enemy¡¯s army in, making the originally victory be Bei Zhou¡¯s lose! My two hundred thousand man all died...¡±
Just the thought that Wanyan Lie caused his family be ruined and wrenched apart, Feng Xie¡¯s eyes were filled with a strong hatred. Not to mention, those two hundred thousand men were his brothers who went through fire and water and fought from all four quarters with him. Even their skeletons didn¡¯t survive. No matter what, he needed to avenge this hatred!
¡°Everyone said that this was done by Cai Hua. I investigated for many years. Until recently, did I found out that Cai Hua reced your mother and died instead. That person who burned to ashes was Cai Hua not your mother! The real culprit is another person!¡±
¡°Is it Wanyan Lie?¡±
Feng Cang asked, Feng Xie nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s him! Besides, your mother didn¡¯t die. She had been hidden at the underground pce in Long Autumn pce!¡±
Feng Xie¡¯s words were like a thunder making Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi froze.
¡°Didn¡¯t mother-inw...¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t dare to believe this fact. He didn¡¯t think, the Feng Xie who everyone believed to be dead was still alive. The Wanyan Ming Yue who everyone believed to havemitted suicide in the name of love, was actually hidden in the pce. What kind of secret was there inside this? In the end, what had happened?
¡°She¡¯s still alive, but...she¡¯s like a living dead; asleep without waking up. I don¡¯t know what she experienced!¡± Hearing Feng Cang mention Wanyan Ming Yue, Feng Xie¡¯s eyes got wet again.
¡°Originally, I wanted to take revenge for your mother beforeing her to recognize you and tell you the truth. However, only a few days ago, did I found out that Ming Yue didn¡¯t die. I¡¯m not a doctor and don¡¯t know why Ming Yue was like that. I couldn¡¯t think of a way. I could onlye for you! Feng Cang, Jin Mo¡¯s medical skills are brilliant. I want to ask him to go to the pce and look at your mother; see what¡¯s the matter with her and if he could save her and wake her up!¡±
Aside from surprise, Feng Xie¡¯s words also made Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi very happy. It turned out that Wanyan Ming Yue didn¡¯t die! Since it was like that, then didn¡¯t this mean that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s whole family could be reunited?!
¡°Dad, I also know some medical skills. Why don¡¯t I go with you? Maybe I could even help!¡± Murong Qi Qi was curious about the woman who gave her life and also felt a familiarity with her. In the past life, she didn¡¯t have the parents¡¯ love. This life, she could have parents. To her, this was a very happy matter.
¡°Good!¡± Feng Xie nodded. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t give up on this opportunity.
The three people talked for a long time. Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi finally got to know the matter of that year with Feng Xie¡¯s description.
It turned out, that year at Yandang Mountain, Feng Xie¡¯s two hundred thousand soldiers beat Xi Qi¡¯s army into a sorry state. The victory was in front of them.
However,ter, don¡¯t know why, the army¡¯s food got a problem. Everyone got diarrhea. Now, thinking about it, someone must¡¯ve poisoned the water of the well. That was why, on all the soldier appeared physical difort.
At that time, it was summer. On hot days, it was the right time for dysentery to spread. A small dysentery made the fighting power of the army go straight down. And at this time, someone opened the gate at night. Xi Qi¡¯s army directly came in while killing.
Originally, Feng Xie wanted to leave with Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Cang, but he didn¡¯t expect that their food was also poisoned. Not long after they left the city, people surrounded them. Even if the eagle troop could fight one against hundred, but they had been poisoned and weren¡¯t the opponent of the other party.
Feng Xie was stabbed before he fainted. When he woke up, the one who was lying behind him was his loyal and kind groom. It was him who used all his efforts to save Feng Xie, but he died. When Feng Xie went back, there was no trace of Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Cang...
¡°I thought for a long time about who poisoned the water in the well. In the end, there could only be one person. That is, the minister Li Jun who Wanyan Lie sent over to reward the army. Everything only happened after he arrived. And he came on behalf of Wanyan Lie. It was Wanyan Lie who put his heart on destroying me!¡±
¡°It was just, why would Wanyan Lie do that? Wasn¡¯t he and you good friends? Isn¡¯t he mother¡¯s biological big brother?¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t understand Wanyan Lie¡¯s thoughts. The world said that Wanyan Lie loved his little sister, Wanyan Ming Yue the most. Why did he had to treat Feng Xie¡¯s family like that?
¡°Humph!¡± The thought of Wanyan Lie¡¯s despicable act and his ugly intentions, Feng Xie felt disgusting. He clenched his fist and his teeth made ¡®gege¡¯ sound. ¡°There¡¯s only one reason why he did so...¡±
Feng Xie really didn¡¯t want to say it. A dignified sovereign of a country actually had a crush on his own little sister. And because of this, he disregarded the interest of the country and his friendship. Such a person like him is too hateful!
Seeing Feng Xie remained silent for so long and didn¡¯t say it out, Murong Qi Qi was a bit anxious, ¡°Dad, why did he had to do this, tell me, ah!¡±
Feng Xie looked at Murong Qi Qi and then looked at Feng Cang. He sighed. Sooner orter, they would know the truth. This matter wasn¡¯t his and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s fault. There was no need to help Wanyan Lie conceal it.
¡°The furnishing of Long Autumn pce is the same as your mother¡¯s boudoir. Besides, ording to the small pce maid the empress dowager saved, the noble consort Yue who lived before at Long Autumn pce, looks very simr to your mother...¡±
¡°Ka...¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart was startled. Like this, didn¡¯t Wanyan Lie had sister-philia (TLNote: selfmade word of the author)?!
What Murong Qi Qi could think off, Feng Cang also could think off. Like this, it was understandable why every imperial noble consort at Long Autumn pce was so secretive. They never participated in the pce banquet. When they came out, they also wore a veil. So, it turned out that Wanyan Lie had such dirty intention!
For a time, the atmosphere became heavy. A sovereign who had sister-philia, betrayed the country¡¯s interest for his own interest. Saying it out, it was really incredible.
¡°Daddy, when are we going to see mother?¡± Thinking about that Wanyan Ming Yue was still in the underground pce of Long Autumn pce and also didn¡¯t know how she was dishonored by Wanyan Lie, Murong Qi Qi felt angry plus disgust.
How could there be such a perverted person?! To get the little sister, he actually did such a thing. Really enough is enough!
¡°Naturally, the sooner the better. I really want to know what¡¯s the matter with Ming Yue. Why don¡¯t we go tonight?!¡±
The three people came to a decision. That night, Feng Cang called Jin Mo. Plus, Feng Xie and Murong Qi Qi, they were a total of four people. Stepping on the night, they went into the pce.
It was unusually quiet at Long Autumn pce. There wasn¡¯t wind. The pce maid and eunuch had long been sleeping. The four opened the door, stepped inside and went to the underground pce. After following Feng Xie for a while, they finally saw the woman on the warm jade bed.
¡°It¡¯s really mother!¡± Feng Cang looked full of disbelief at Wanyan Ming Yue whose appearance didn¡¯t change. ¡°Mother, I¡¯m Feng Cang. Mother, wake up!¡±
¡°It¡¯s useless!¡± Feng Xie pulled Feng Cang and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s better to let Jin Mo check and then we¡¯ll see!¡±
During the day, when Jin Mo got to know that Feng Xie was still alive, his chin almost fell to the ground. Now seeing Wanyan Ming Yue lying on the warm jade bed, Jin Mo¡¯s heart once again received a shock. So, rumors were only rumors. These two involved parties of the battle at Yandang Mountain of that year, were now still alive, making people couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.
Not thinking much, Jin Mo put his hand on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s pulse.
The pulse was very slow. Jin Mo had never seen something like this. After checking Wanyan Ming Yue ¡®s eyes and herplexion, Jin Mo repeatedly said, ¡°It¡¯s too strange. The situation of princess now was somewhat like the state when animals went into hibernation. So odd! Junior sister,e look!¡±
Hearing Jin Mo call Murong Qi Qi junior sister, Feng Xie was a bit surprised. Feng Cang, at a side, rified for his father-inw, ¡°Qing Qing is the well-known Lian gongzi from the jianghu.¡±
¡°Lian gongzi!¡± This time, it was Feng Xie, this father¡¯s turn to be dumbfounded.
So, the famous strange doctor Lian gongzi from the jianghu is his and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter! Immediately, a sense pride slowly rose in Feng Xie¡¯s heart! Ming Yue, did you see?! I brought our daughter to see you. Our daughter is so outstanding like you!
Originally, Feng Cang was thinking that if Jin Mo couldn¡¯t heal Wanyan Ming Yue, he would need to go find Lian gongzi. He didn¡¯t think that it was to travel far and wide looking for someone, only to find him/her easily. It turned out, his daughter is Lian gongzi! Could this be considered a grace from the heaven towards him and Wanyan Ming Yue?!
After Murong Qi Qi saw Wanyan Ming Yue, she determined that she¡¯s her biological mother. Before the wedding, she was led by the person in ck to the painting. That painting only painted seventy percent of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s demeanor. Her personal traits weren¡¯t shown on the painting.
Now, looking at her mother of this life, Murong Qi Qi was a bit excited. Mother, this image appeared many times in her heart. God knows how much she wanted to be together with her parents one day and enjoy family love together.
Although, in the past life, this wish wasn¡¯t fulfilled, but now,ing to here, god suddenly gotpassion and gave her a pair of parents. How could she not be happy and grateful?!
Chapter 145 Extremely shameless Xia Yun Xi (1)
Chapter 145 Extremely shameless Xia Yun Xi (1)
When she first saw Wanyan Ming Yue, Murong Qi Qi thought about the fairytale Sleeping Beauty. Sheid so quietly and peacefully on the warm jade bed. She was dressed in in white. Her whole body was covered with a faintyer of mist, looking like a fairy from the fables.
So, this is her biological mother, ah!
A special feeling bloomed in the heart of Murong Qi Qi. Previously, the word mama was an extravagant hope. Now, it had be within reach.
¡°Mother, I¡¯m Qi Qi! I came to see you!¡± Murong Qi Qi put her hand on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s wrist. The pulse was slow, but it was very normal. There were no signs of poisoning or gu in the body. From the physiology point of view, there was nothing wrong with Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s body.
When Murong Qi Qi said her conclusions, Jin Mo acknowledged her words, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong with princess¡¯s body, then the only exnation for her current state is her spiritual and psychological factors. In other words, she voluntarily went into this sleeping state.¡±
Feng Xie and Feng Cang didn¡¯t understand Jin Mo¡¯s words very much, but Murong Qi Qi nodded in agreement.
¡°The problems that can¡¯t be solved with medical science can only be exined from the human instinct. There are some people whose brains would emit a sense of self-protection after experiencing a big shock, making them voluntarily go into a deep sleep so that they don¡¯t have to ept reality.¡±
Feng Xie didn¡¯t understand the professional terms. He only understood that there was nothing wrong with Ming Yue¡¯s body. His hanging heart finally went down.
¡°Then, when will your mother wake up?¡± This was something Feng Xie wanted to know the most at this moment.
¡°If mother continues to sleep without waking up, then that means self-protection has appeared in her heart. We need to open up her defense and arouse her consciousness. Then, she would wake up.¡±
¡°Mother certainly believed that we¡¯d encountered the unsuspected and she became heartbroken. Therefore, she has lost the faith to live on...To let mother wake up, the only way is to stay by her side and arouse her awareness for survival.¡±
¡°I agree with junior sister¡¯s view. A mental disorder needs to be healed with the medicine for the heart. Whoever hung the bell on the tiger¡¯s neck must untie it. General and junior sister are the people princess cares about the most. If you could keep princesspany and talk to her, perhaps a miracle would happen. However, this warm jade bed is the element that has maintained the physical bnce of princess. If we move her, maybe it will bring about a negative effect. We can only arouse princess¡¯s consciousness through emotions. On the other hand, we need to supplement medications to let the body of princess that has slept so many years recover.¡±
Whoever hung the bell on the tiger¡¯s neck must untie it: whoever started the trouble should end it
After Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo said that, Feng Xie¡¯s eyebrows scrunched into a rope again, ¡°But we can onlye here at night and we also don¡¯t have much time. Now, I¡¯m itching from wanting to see Ming Yue wake up. I, I...¡±
Feng Xie was so excited that his mouth slightly trembled. Wanyan Ming Yue could still wake up. They, this husband and wife, could still be reunited. To him, this was simply great news.
¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. Wanyan Lie bestowed Long Autumn pce to me. If worstes to worst, I will live in the pce. Daddy could be my guard and stay at my side after disguising. Like this, you could see mother every day! As for the medicine, we¡¯ll use nutrition for the body as an excuse. I believe that after our efforts, mother would wake up very quickly!¡±
¡°Good! Good! It¡¯s good like that!¡±
Feng Xie looked broken-hearted since he had to leave, and looked at Wanyan Ming Yue for a long time. Before departing, he kissed her forehead. Ming Yue, wait for me!
The next day, Murong Qi Qi entered the pce and proposed that she wanted to move into Long Autumn pce. Wanyan Lie was a bit surprised, but he was happier.
Wanyan Lie also had his own selfish motive for letting Murong Qi Qi live at Long Autumn pce. Below the wing that he¡¯d let people prepare for Murong Qi Qi was where Wanyan Ming Yue resided. He hoped that the sleeping Wanyan Ming Yue would be moved and wake up after hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voiceing from above.
Previously, Wanyan Lie also found a famous doctor to let him check up on Wanyan Ming Yue. The other party said that Wanyan Ming Yue was sadder than a withered heart. That¡¯s why, she was in such a state. If a person she cared about could stay at her side every day and talk to her, maybe she would wake up. Although this famous doctor waster killed by Wanyan Lie, but Wanyan Lie had always remembered his words.
Now, he found Murong Qi Qi. In the past, the person Wanyan Ming Yue cared about the most was Feng Xie and this little daughter. Feng Xie had long died. Murong Qi Qi was lost and then suddenly found. If Wanyan Ming Yue knew that her little daughter was here, she would certainly be very happy. Perhaps, for Murong Qi Qi, she would wake up.
¡°Good! Good! It¡¯s also good that you¡¯vee to live in the pce! By then, you could keep the empress dowagerpany more often!¡± And can also keep your motherpany...
Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t say thest sentence out loud. He let Jing De lead Murong Qi Qi to Long Autumn pce and also sent a pile of things to Long Autumn pce.
After entering Long Autumn pce, Murong Qi Qi walked intentionally past the ce she went tost night. Seeing the seal on the door, Murong Qi Qi asked Jing De, ¡°Jing De eunuch, why is this area sealed?¡±
¡°Answering princess, this was the ce where noble consort Yue lived. Later, princess said that people died here and it¡¯s bad luck. The emperor then let this ve seal this area.¡±
¡°Oh...,¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded. ¡°Bengong1 feels that here is not too bad. Remove the seal and vacate the ce! Since this ce was previously used by Yue Lan Zhi, then rece everything inside. This area will be the ce where bengong receives guests!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Jing De fulfilled every requirement of Murong Qi Qi. Before he came here, the emperor said that he had to meet every demand Murong Qi Qi made. That¡¯s why, whatever Murong Qi Qi said, he needed to remember.
Jing De¡¯s work efficiency was very high. Under his supervision, in only three days, the ce looked like new. All those things from before were nowpletely gone. Murong Qi Qi had also moved into the pce three dayster. The ones who came with her were Su Mei, Su Yue and the disguised Feng Xie.
Nothing could surpass the empress dowager¡¯s happiness after hearing that Murong Qi Qi had entered the pce. She was just about to let Qing Gu go invite Murong Qi Qi over when she heard someone report that princess Zhen Guo had arrived.
¡°Quick! Quickly, go wee her!¡± Dongfang Lan was a bit excited. Ever since she found out the secret of Long Autumn pce from Chun Xing, Dongfang Lan had been wanting to go to Long Autumn pce, but she was afraid to attract Wanyan Lie¡¯s attention. She could only endure. Now, Murong Qi Qi lived in Long Autumn pce. This was simply the same as fulfilling her wish.
¡°(Maternal) Grandmother!¡± When Dongfang Lan saw Murong Qi Qi, who looked just like her daughter, she was very happy. She quickly pulled her (MQQ) to her (DL) side and sat her (MQQ) down. After thinking of all the trouble she had caused for Murong Qi Qi the first time she¡¯d met her (MQQ), Dongfang Lan felt very guilty. That¡¯s why she also particrly loved this granddaughter.
¡°Moving into the pce is also getting closer to aijia.2 You muste visit aijia often!¡±
¡°If grandmother likes it, I wille every day! As long as aunt Qing makes delicious dishes for me, I don¡¯t have any problems!¡±
Murong Qi Qi was only sixteen, just a young girl. At this age, Wanyan Ming Yue had already married Feng Xie, but she (MQQ) was more mature than her (WMY). After seeing Murong Qi Qi act like a brat, Dongfang Lanughed, ¡°Good, good, good! Aijia will let Qing Gu do it! Letting you, this greedy cat, eat enough!¡±
Qing Gu knew that this pair of grandmother and granddaughter had things to say. She let everyone retreat and left the area for Dongfang Lan and Murong Qi Qi to talk privately.
¡°Girl...¡±
¡°Grandmother...¡±
Seeing that the other party had also spoken at the same time, the two exchanged a smile.
¡°Grandmother, you go first.¡±
Murong Qi Qi came today to talk about the matter of Wanyan Ming Yue. Dongfang Lan was Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s biological mother. The news that she was still alive, made Murong Qi Qi feel that it was necessary to tell this elder, who missed her child day and night.
¡°Aijia doesn¡¯t know why you want to enter the pce and also doesn¡¯t know if it¡¯s good or bad that you have. Now, there are many rumors outside. Aijia also heard about the matter of Nan Feng¡¯s emperor personallying to ask for your hand. About the biggest event of your life, aijia only has one request, that is, it will be fine as long as you like (him)!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect that Dongfang Lan would speak about this matter. Especially since that her request was so simple, making the feelings Murong Qi Qi had towards this grandmother grow fonder.
¡°A few days ago, your uncle cleaned up Long Autumn pce. Aijia had saved a small pce maid. She told aijia some things that aijia think you should know. After all, you¡¯re Ming Yue¡¯s daughter. You have the right to know the things about your mother.¡±
Dongfang Lan told everything Chun Xing said, along with Feng Xie¡¯s letter to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Aijia is a bit worried now that you¡¯ve moved into Long Autumn pce. Aijia don¡¯t know what Wanyan Lie is thinking. Aijia¡¯s left eye has been jumping very badly recently. I¡¯ve already lost my daughter. I don¡¯t want anything to happen to you and Feng Cang. Aijia can¡¯t bear the pain of a white-haired person sending a ck-haired person anymore...¡±
The crying appearance of the silver-haired Dongfang Lan deeply touched Murong Qi Qi. She went forward and hugged Dongfang Lan. She directly told the truth, ¡°Grandmother, my mother didn¡¯t die. My dad is also alive. They didn¡¯t die!¡±
¡°What?¡± The moment Dongfang Lan heard this, she froze. Her eyes were full of disbelief. She held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand nervously and looked anxiously at her, ¡°What did you say? Ming Yue is still alive? Feng Xie really is still alive?¡±
Although, before, when she received Feng Xie¡¯s note, Dongfang Lan had determined that Feng Xie didn¡¯t die. However, he refused to appear, making Dongfang Lan be in a perturbed state of mind and she had been worried about Feng Xie all this time. Now, after hearing these words from Murong Qi Qi, Dongfang Lan finally believed that Feng Xie was still alive.
¡°That¡¯s right! My mother and my dad are still alive!¡± Murong Qi Qi roughly told everything. When she heard the truth of the battle at Yandang Mountain, Dongfang Lan¡¯s palm hit the table, ¡°It¡¯s really him! He actually did such a thing!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s lips trembled from anger. In the past, when Wanyan Lie¡¯s birth mother died, it was she (DL) who¡¯d raised Wanyan Lie. Finally, when Wanyan Zhi chose an heir, it was because she¡¯d supported Wanyan Lie that this throne fell into his hands.
However, she had never thought that she¡¯d raised such a thankless wretch. He¡¯d actually used such despicable means and destroyed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s family!
Dongfang Lan¡¯s anger stirred emotions and this was within Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expectations. She quickly and softly appeased Dongfang Lan. After a long time, Dongfang Lan slowly calmed down. The first thing she asked was about Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°My mother¡¯s body is not so good and needs to recuperate. But, mother said that when her body recuperates, she woulde see you first!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t dare to tell Dongfang Lan about Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s real situation. She was afraid that Dongfang Lan would directly rush to Long Autumn pce. She could only use this white lie to conceal the truth.
¡°The body is not well? Then, what¡¯s the matter? Is she sick or injured? Is there someone who takes care of her? Where is she now?¡± Sure enough, the moment Dongfang Lan heard about Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s situation, she immediately got up from anxiousness.
¡°Grandmother, don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s the well-known Lian gongzi3 treating mother. It wouldn¡¯t take long before she would stand healthily in front of you!¡±
The moment she heard that it¡¯s Lian gongzi who was treating Wanyan Ming Yue, Dongfang Lan¡¯s worried heart finally rxed a bit.
¡°Aijia has also heard that Lian gongzi¡¯s medical skills are very great. However, aijia also knows that your mother must be very ill, otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t note see aijia...Qi Qi, ah, when you return, tell your mother that she needs to recuperate well and nourish her body! Aijia...aijia will wait to see a healthy Ming Yue!¡±
Dongfang Lan cried heavily. Her voice also turned hoarse. However, she knew that inside these tears revealed the bitterness of happiness. Wanyan Ming Yue was still alive. This was the best news for the old Dongfang Lan.
¡°So great! Really...Ming Yue and Feng Xie are still alive. This is so great...¡±
Aside from crying and repeating ¡®so great¡¯, Dongfang Lan couldn¡¯t use other words to express her excitement. Although she temporarily couldn¡¯t see her baby daughter, but the heart of a mother had finally rxed.
All these years, so many nights, the moment Dongfang Lan closed her eyes, she would think about her daughter and son-inw¡¯s tragic death, making her unable to sleep well. Now, how could this mother not be happy after knowing that they¡¯re alive?! It seemed that the heaven had eyes and Buddha finally heard her request!
¡°Amitabha Buddha...,¡± Dongfang Lan put her hand together and said this out loud. However, after she said that, Dongfang Lan suddenly ripped off the Buddha beads from her neck. The jade beads fell one after another on the ground, making Murong Qi Qi startle, ¡°Grandmother...¡± (TLNote: the beads were a gift from WL)
¡°Qi Qi, aijia is very happy knowing your parents are alive. Now, it¡¯s time to find the person to calcte! A murder should be paid with one¡¯s life. An owed debt should be repaid. This is the heaven¡¯sw and earth¡¯s principle. Aijia can¡¯t tolerate that devil being able to still live free and unfettered. Aijia wants to personally finish him!¡±
Murong Qi Qi knew that the devil Dongfang Lan was referring to was Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie owed Feng family this debt. Of course, they need to find him to recover it! However, they had to put the revenge aside for the moment. The most important matter now was saving Wanyan Ming Yue.
Murong Qi Qi could understand Dongfang Lan¡¯s mood, but there was nothing more important than Wanyan Ming Yue. This was also the result after she¡¯d discussed with Feng Xie and Feng Cang.
¡°Grandmother, the revenge for the parents is absolutely irreconcble. I will definitely recover what Wanyan Lie owes us. However, Qi Qi wants to do this personally. You abstained from eating meat and prayed to Buddha for so many years, Qi Qi doesn¡¯t want your hands to be tainted with blood. Grandmother, give this opportunity to Qi Qi, alright?¡±
Murong Qi Qi acted half spoiled and half pleaded, making it difficult for Dongfang Lan to disagree. The children have grown up and were having their own thoughts, making Dongfang Lan feel gratified.
¡°You moved into the pce for revenge, right?! Then, you need to be careful, ah! Did you discuss this matter with your big brother? If by chance Wanyan Lie meets his demise, did your big brother already decide who would be the sessor to the throne? Wanyan Yi is profound and insidious. He¡¯s not the right candidate. Although, Wanyan Kang is not bad, but his heart is not on the throne.¡±
¡°Ay, after calming down, aijia also knows that the matter of revenge wouldn¡¯t only take a day or two. Wanyan Lie is a country¡¯s emperor. Without an emperor, the country would be in chaos. Aijia can¡¯t destroy a country for my own interest!¡±
Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but want to raise her thumbs to praise her for these words. This was the aspiration of a mother of a country, the empress dowager, should have. Revenge was a must, but one also needed to consider Wanyan Lie¡¯s special status. If everything hasn¡¯t been arranged yet, then killing Wanyan Lie would only bring turbulence to this country.
To flourish, it¡¯s the citizens who would suffer. When there¡¯s demise, it¡¯s the citizens who would suffer. No matter how the emperor was, those who would suffer bitterness and hardship would be the citizens. It¡¯s best if they could use the most peaceful way to take revenge.
The pair of grandmother and granddaughter came to an agreement on the matter of Wanyan Lie. In the imperial study, Wanyan Lie saw Xia Yun Xi, the Dong Lu¡¯s princess.
The pce banquet would be held in ten days. Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t wait that long. So, she personally entered the pce to see Wanyan Lie. She wanted to use a shortcut through Wanyan Lie.
¡°Princess¡¯s meaning is to move into Nan Lin wangfu?¡±4
Wanyan Lie showed a smile yet not a smile. He really had not seen such a princess before. In his impression, a princess should be graceful, aloof and noble like Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, he had met a Xia Yun Xi. She also took the initiative to request to move into Nan Lin wangfu and wanted to understand everything about Feng Cang. This made a trace of disdain sh though Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes.
¡°That¡¯s right. Not hiding it from your majesty, I¡¯ve admired Nan Lin wang5 for a long time, but haven¡¯t had the opportunity to meet him. I want to live closer to him and learn more about his preferences to amend myself and let myself be a more suitable and qualified wangfei.¡±6
Originally, Xia Yun Xi wanted to wait till the pce banquet and show a good performance in front of Feng Cang. However, the day of the pce banquet was still so far away, it seemed forever. Waiting day after day made her heart felt like an ant was biting it, that Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t rest or eat in peace and could no longer endure it.
Wanyan Lie maintained a gentle smile. At the very least, he didn¡¯t want to cause unhappiness with Dong Lu because of this.
After all, the rtionship between Bei Zhou and Dong Lu wasn¡¯t bad. Besides, the dowry conditions of Dong Lu were very high this time. Aside from arge fortune, Xia Jin also made the fishery near Bei Zhou as Xia Yun Xi¡¯s dowry.
The fishery was a ce where salt was produced and the yield was very high. Among the four countries, Dong Lu was the most affluent because Dong Lu produced salt and salt was a necessity of life. No matter where they lived or what their identity was, everyone was inseparable from salt.
Wanyan Lie wanted to get the fishery. With the fishery, the price of salt would drop a lot in Bei Zhou. This was something favorable to the citizens.
But, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s goal was Feng Cang. This point made Wanyan Lie a bit dissatisfied. If Xia Yun Xi took a fancy to his son, no matter who, Wanyan Lie wouldn¡¯t say much and arrange it. But Feng Cang¡¯s matter involved Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t want to break up this couple.
At least, their insistence was a wish of Wanyan Lie. He didn¡¯t want to see his tragedy happen to Feng Cang.
Seeing that Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t speak, Xia Yun Xi got a bit anxious. She didn¡¯t know what the other party was thinking. His face maintained a gentle smile like a kind elder, making her feel that there was hope. However, after still not hearing Wanyan Lie make a decision, Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t be at ease.
¡°Your Majesty, is it that I did something improper? I know a girl shouldn¡¯t be like this, but I really like Feng Cang very much. I, I...¡± In desperation, two tears fell out of Xia Yun Xi as if Wanyan Lie had bullied her.
Some people say that tears were the most lethal weapon given to women by God. These words were not false. Xia Yun Xi knew very well how to use her weapon. Tears, coupled with her delicate face, made people who looked at her feel pity. Any spectator would think that Wanyan Lie had bullied Xia Yun Xi. Making it big, it would be Bei Zhou taking advantage of its position to bully people...
Wanyan Lie knew that this was a woman¡¯s trick, but he couldn¡¯t not let himself be used by Xia Yun Xi. Involving the rtionship between countries and political interest, he couldn¡¯t go overboard.
¡°Princess has the heart, it¡¯s Cang er¡¯s7 blessing. Since princess doesn¡¯t mind, Zhen8 feels that Cang er would also not mind. Servants, pass the decree...¡±
¡°Thank you, your majesty!¡± After finally reaching her goal, Xia Yun Xi slowly wiped away her tears.

Chapter 146 Extremely shameless Xia Yun Xi (2)
Chapter 146 Extremely shameless Xia Yun Xi (2)
Sure enough, empress mother was right. In this world, there¡¯s not a man who would refuse the tears of a weak woman. Men usually have a heroplex and want to show women their desire of protection. And a delicate face, along with pitiful tears, would most likely stimte a man¡¯s desire to protect.
Imperial grandmother trapped imperial grandfather like this. Empress mother also firmly held emperor father¡¯s heart in her hands like this. Her turn here, she also needed to capture Feng Cang¡¯s heart and have him swept off his feet for her.
Not a whileter, Wanyan Lie¡¯s decree reached Nan Lin wangfu.1 Hearing this news, Feng Cang frowned.
¡°Never saw such a pestering girl!¡± Ji Xia couldn¡¯t hold it in andined out loud. That Xia Yun Xi had been refused by Feng Cang at White Cloud Restaurant had long spread throughout the capital, not to mention Nan Lin wangfu.
Now, this woman had skipped a grade and directly went to Wanyan Lie to ask for a decree. How could this not make Feng Cang¡¯s people angry?
No matter how the outside world talked about Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi being siblings, but a few of his confidantes knew Feng Cang¡¯s real identity. From the bottom of their hearts, they all took Murong Qi Qi as their wangfei.2 Now, a nuisance princess appeared and wanted to steal wangfei¡¯s position. Really unable to made heads or tails of it. Shameless!
Naturally, Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t know of Nan Lin wangfu¡¯s people¡¯s evaluation of her. She was cleaning up her things in high spirits and rushed to Nan Lin wangfu.
¡°Princess, please go this side!¡± Housekeeper Feng Qi led Xia Yun Xi to Guanyu building. The Tingsong building, where Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi resided, was at the far east side. Guanyu building was at the far west side. If Xia Yun Xi wanted to see Feng Cang, she must walk around half of the wangfu. It would take more than an hour before she gets there. This was also deliberately arranged by Feng Qi.
¡°Guanyu building! Very beautiful, bengong3 likes it very much!¡±
To be able to enter the wangfu was already the greatest news for Xia Yun Xi. She thought that after entering the wangfu, she would be together with Feng Cang. How would she know that this Guanyu building and Tingsong building were very far from each other? Now, she was just happy.
¡°Housekeeper, where is the stove?¡±
¡°The stove? Is princess worried that wangfu¡¯s cook¡¯s dishes are not to your taste?¡±
¡°No, bengong wants to personally make some delicious dishes for wangye!¡±4 While saying this, Xia Yun Xi blushed. Her affecting shyness was like she was a bashful little girl.
However, this shyness looked very hypocritical in Feng Qi¡¯s eyes. A genuinely reserved woman wouldn¡¯t have stalked a man like this. Now, what¡¯s only left was seducing the other party with the body.
¡°Wangye has a cook only dedicated to him. He doesn¡¯t like the taste others make.¡± Feng Qi mildly rejected Xia Yun Xi¡¯s idea.
¡°Then, can bengong learn how to make dishes from this cook? Bengong also wants to make a meal to wangye¡¯s taste.¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s words made Feng Qipletely speechless. You didn¡¯t understand people¡¯s words or was it that you¡¯re thick-skinned, ah?!
However, no matter how ufortable Feng Qi was in his heart, but after all, the other party was a princess. He, a housekeeper, couldn¡¯t brush the princess face, ¡°This, you need to ask the cook. If princess wants a stove, I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡±
¡°Thank you, housekeeper. Really troubling you!¡± Xia Yun Xi¡¯s voice sounded delicate and gentle, making Feng Qi¡¯s whole body get goosebumps. Really didn¡¯t have to be so whiny. So nauseating!
After Feng Qi left, Xia Yun Xi began to shout inside Guanyu building, ¡°Hong Ye, I moved into Feng Cang¡¯s wangfu! I moved into Feng Cang¡¯s wangfu!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, ah, princess. You will see wangye soon!¡± Hong Ye was also happy for Xia Yun Xi. After all, for so many years, her heart only had Feng Cang. Now, she was able to fulfil her wish. This was a matter worthy of being happy for.
¡°Hong Ye, take these silvers and go inquire about what Feng Cang likes; what his schedule is and when can I meet him? Where does he live and how to get there? Oh, you also need to ask clearly what Feng Cang likes to eat! Anyway, as long it¡¯s rted to Feng Cang, I have to know!¡±
Beforeing, Xia Yun Xi had prepared many small amounts of silver. Her purpose was to buy people¡¯s hearts when she arrived at the wangfu. The Xia Yun Xi who grew up in the harem was deeply aware of the importance of winning people¡¯s hearts. When she bes the master of wangfu, she wouldn¡¯t need to do this anymore. However, at this moment, using these small people was very necessary.
In just one afternoon, Hong Ye gave away many silvers. With these silvers, Hong Ye gained a lot of valuable information in return.
¡°His most loved person is princess Zhen Guo. He likes light tasting food the most and loves to eat chicken. His royal friend is fifth prince Wanyan Kang. His most favorite color is khaki color...¡±
As Hong Ye spoke, Xia Yun Xi would write it all down. In the end, she recorded a full ten sheets of paper.
Looking at the thick stack of papers which had a list of things about Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi got a sense of satisfaction. She believed that if she acted ording to this stack of paper, her sincerity would split open metal and rocks. One day, she would be able to move Feng Cang.
¡°Princess, the person wangye loves the most is princess Zhen Guo. If you let princess Zhen Guo be shamed at the pce banquet, will wangye...¡±
Hong Ye¡¯s words caused Xia Yun Xi to think. Beforeing, she had heard many rumors about this pair of siblings.
Originally, Murong Qi Qi was Xi Qi¡¯s princess who¡¯de to form a marriage alliance. She was to be Feng Cang¡¯s bride, but in the end, she inexplicably became Feng Cang¡¯s little sister. Such a change of the rtionship made the two people somewhat unable to stand it. That was reasonable.
However, if Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t correct her attitude and still wanted to dip her finger into her biological big brother, then she (XYX) certainly wouldn¡¯t ept it.
¡°Princess, princess...¡± Seeing Xia Yun Xi remain silent and the viciousness shing in her eyes, Hong Ye was startled.
¡°As long as she doesn¡¯t block my road, everything could be talked out. If she blocks my road, I don¡¯t care who she is! Feng Cang¡¯s heart must only have me and can only love me alone! Those who are superfluous must be removed!¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s words revealed her rich possessiveness of Feng Cang. Hong Ye pitied Murong Qi Qi a bit. At least, ording to her experience, those people who had been eyed by Xia Yun Xi, in the end all died very miserably. She hoped that this princess Zhen Guo could be more tactful and won¡¯t bring trouble for herself.
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s every move had already been reported to Feng Cang. When he had heard herst words, which had targeted Murong Qi Qi, the writing brush made of weasel bristles in Feng Cang¡¯s hand broke into two. Want to touch his people? She must be tired of living!
Forced to let a woman in, Feng Cang was very unhappy. In this huge capital, the other person who was also unhappy because of this action was Wanyan Yi.
From the moment he saw Xia Yun Xi at White Cloud Restaurant, her voice and smile had engraved deeply in Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart. He had seen many women, but those women weren¡¯t feminine. On Xia Yun Xi, Wanyan Yi saw his long-waited feminism. That smile, that knit of the brows, were like an Iris Tectorum in the wind, making people remember it in their hearts with just one nce.
Now, Xia Yun Xi had moved into Nan Lin wangfu. This made Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but get tangled.
He knew that Xia Yun Xi hade to Feng Cang as a candidate for marriage. She hade for Feng Cang. However, Wanyan Yi couldn¡¯t ept it. How could Feng Cang receive so much? He was obviously a hundred times more outstanding than Feng Cang!
¡°Yi er,5 Yi er?¡±
Inside Jingxin hall, Lin Ke Xin chatted with her son, but she discovered that his mind had been wandering. Talking with him, but he didn¡¯t answer for half a day. He had a concerned look on his face, making her couldn¡¯t help but worry.
¡°Yi er, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Lin Ke Xin¡¯s hand waved in front of Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes. Only now did Wanyan Yi wake up.
¡°Consort mother, this subject son is thinking about the matter of Dong Lu¡¯s princess. If Xia Yun Xi and Feng Cang be one, then doesn¡¯t it mean that Feng Cang would get Dong Lu¡¯s backing? This subject son doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s so good about Feng Cang!¡±
So, it was this thing. Lin Ke Xinughed. ¡°Tell consort mother the truth. Do you like Xia Yun Xi?¡±
His thoughts being exposed by Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Yi was a bit embarrassed. In the end, he still nodded. ¡°This subject son fell in love with princess Yun at first sight. This subject son likes her!¡±
Wanyan Yi¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t fake. Lin Ke Xin was very sure that her son really liked Xia Yun Xi. She had also seen Xia Yun Xi once. From the viewpoint of men, Xia Yun Xi would indeed evoke man¡¯s desire to protect. However, letting her be the mother of the country; she (XYX) missed the calmness, missed being collected and was a bit small-minded.
¡°Yi er, consort mother doesn¡¯t object you liking princess Yun, but your empress must be Feng Qi Qi!¡±
¡°Consort mother...,¡± Wanyan Yi knew that Lin Ke Xin said that for his own good. No matter how great Xia Yun Xi was, in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart, she simply couldn¡¯t bepared to princess Zhen Guo. If he could get Murong Qi Qi, then his chance for getting the throne would be a lot higher. It was just, his heart already had Xia Yun Xi...
It was not that Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t understand his hesitation. However, it was rted to Wanyan Yi¡¯s throne. They couldn¡¯t bex.
¡°Affection of a man and woman aresting. Being a hero is brief. If you want to be a sovereign who goes down famously in history, you should put down love and focus on your great cause. Yi er, even if you can¡¯t give Xia Yun Xi the position of empress, you can give her supreme pampering.¡±
¡°A woman¡¯s power is gotten by relying on the man¡¯s pampering. However, if you didn¡¯t have the ability to give her a happy life, then what do you have to love her?! When you be the emperor, the whole world is yours. Why should you then fear of not getting the beauty¡¯s heart!¡±
Have to say, Lin Ke Xin knew very well how to use psychological tactics. Sure enough, after her exnation, Wanyan Yi put down his obsession with Xia Yun Xi. Indeed, as Lin Ke Xin had said, if he couldn¡¯t be the emperor, then he couldn¡¯t give Xia Yun Xi anything.
¡°Consort mother, princess Zhen Guo has moved into Long Autumn pce. What do you think she¡¯s thinking?¡± After crossing this pit, Wanyan Yi regained his reasoning.
The matter of vital importance was to ovee Feng Cang and be the heir to the throne. Wanyan Yi was very grateful for Lin Ke Xin¡¯s sharp warning that woke him up. The country, he wanted it. The beauty, he also wanted it. With the country, he could have any beauty. Without the country, his life is hard to guarantee, let alone protect his woman!
¡°Ha...wasn¡¯t it not wanting to take this opportunity to pull the distance closer with the emperor? Before, the emperor made her princess Zhen Guo and gave her Long Autumn pce; why didn¡¯t we see her move in then? Now, you and Feng Cang are fighting for the throne, she couldn¡¯t wait to move into the pce. Isn¡¯t this obviously getting votes for Feng Cang?!¡±
¡°About the matter of the throne; see how Feng Cang didn¡¯t say anything and pretended like he was a gentleman. In fact, his heart had long been wanting this piece of meat. It was not convenient for him toe forward. He sent his little sister toe y the family card. Yi er, ah, the Feng siblings are way smarter than you!¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s words made Wanyan Yi prostate himself in admiration. In the end, she¡¯s indeed his consort mother. Every sentence hit the core. Feng Cang sent his little sister to the pce to get love from emperor father. This pair of sibling are too vicious, despicable and without any sense of shame!
¡°However, this is your chance. You can get a bit closer to Feng Qi Qi and create moments to let everyone think that there¡¯s something between you. When the time is right, the uncooked rice is cooked, even if Feng Qi Qi doesn¡¯t want, but others would think you¡¯re a couple. She also wouldn¡¯t be able to overturn these facts and could only follow you! After all...the most important thing of a woman is chastity.¡±
While saying this, Lin Ke Xin exposed a wicked smile. Corresponding to her, Wanyan Yi alsoughed darkly. Anyway, it¡¯s just a woman! Even if she¡¯s the number one beauty of the world, pressed under the body, she¡¯s also such a simple thing!
No matter how hard the outsiders were calcting, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were very calm.
Xia Yun Xi had plotted actively to breathe the same air under the same sky as Feng Cang, but she didn¡¯t expect that this involved party was no longer in the wangfu. Instead, he¡¯d taken advantage of the night and sneaked into Long Autumn pce.
¡°Howe you came?¡± Seeing Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi was very happy. Although her words were indifferent, but her bodynguage betrayed her heart. Not waiting for Feng Cang toe in front of her, Murong Qi Qi directly jumped into his arms.
¡°I missed you!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words were very simple. His actions were more direct. One hand was around Murong Qi Qi. The other hand held her chin. He looked carefully for a long time.
¡°Mm, theplexion is not bad!¡±
¡°How do you want me to be? To weep endlessly and waste my feelings because of Xia Yun Xi?¡± Murong Qi Qi liked the clean taste from Feng Cang¡¯s body. The feeling in his arms was very good. So warm, so safe.
Originally, it was already night, but Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart felt like it missed something. She¡¯d dyed going to sleep. Only when Feng Cang came, did she realise that she¡¯d been waiting for him.
¡°Haha, originally I thought that after Qing Qing left me, Qing Qing would have no thought for tea or rice and would be restless at night. Now, seeing Qing Qing living sofortable without me, really let people be sad. Ay, pity my heart for thinking of you, couldn¡¯t sleep and even jumped over the wall to sleep with you. However, you being like this makes my heart so sad...Forget it, I better go back!¡±
No thought for tea or rice: have no appetite
Feng Cang turned and wanted to leave, but was hugged from behind by Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Not allowed to leave!¡±
¡°Qing Qing doesn¡¯t think of me, doesn¡¯t miss me and doesn¡¯t love me. What meaning does it have if I stay...¡±
For the first time, Murong Qi Qi found out that this man had a great potential for acting. Presumably, in this world, only Feng Cang could act cute so naturally, boldly and self-confidently.
¡°How is it that I didn¡¯t miss you?! I was separated for just a day from you; my head, my heart are both full of your shadow!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft love words spread from behind Feng Cang, making himugh. He turned and lifted Murong Qi Qi, ¡°I also missed you, Qing Qing!¡±
Inside the chamber, the light went out. Outside the chamber, a ck shadow left and went to the imperial study.
¡°Really? Nan Lin wang entered princess Zhen Guo¡¯s chamber and didn¡¯te out again?¡±
¡°Answering emperor, this underling waited for an hour. Feng Cang didn¡¯t leave...¡±
Before, the person in ck didn¡¯t know why the emperor would let him keep watch outside of Long Autumn pce. Now, seeing such results, he somewhat understood. Nan Lin wangmitting incest with his own little sister? This was truly too shocking! However, the master on the top didn¡¯t speak. The person in ck also didn¡¯t open his mouth. He only reported to Wanyan Lie what he had seen.
¡°Good! Good!¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s mood was very good. Feng Cang didn¡¯t leave, this meant that between these two people, the canal was formed (the deed is done). This brat was not bad. He knew how to seize an opportunity! Ay, if in the past, he also had half of Feng Cang¡¯s courage, it would¡¯ve been great!
Wanyan Lie¡¯s ¡®good¡¯ surprised the person in ck. What¡¯s the matter with the emperor? Could it be that he had turned muddle-headed?! Siblingsmitting incest and the emperor actually said good? What¡¯s Wanyan Lie¡¯s meaning, ah?
¡°You can retreat! Right, the next few nights, you should continue to keep watch outside of princess Zhen Guo¡¯s pce. Record what time Feng Cang enters and what time he leaves. Right, don¡¯t let him discover! Go!¡±
Now, the person in ck waspletely confused. What¡¯s the reason behind the emperor doing this? Could it be that he wanted to go catch them in the act? Could it be that emperor¡¯s favorite candidate for the crown prince¡¯s position wasn¡¯t Feng Cang? That¡¯s why he wanted to seize the scandal of the siblings and make a matter out of it?
Although countless thoughts caused an impact in his brain, but the person in ck was well trained. He didn¡¯t say any unnecessary words. Wanyan Lie¡¯s words were a decree. He should justply. After leaving the imperial study, the person in ck continued to squat at Long Autumn pce, just outside Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chamber.
¡°Tsk, tsk, Cang, that fly has returned again! Whose people do you think he is?!¡± Murong Qi Qiy next to Feng Cang. From the moment the person in ck had appeared, she knew. She just didn¡¯t say anything. Just now, she¡¯d thought he had left. She didn¡¯t expect that he would return again. So hateful, ah!
¡°The secret guards of this pce are naturally the emperor¡¯s people...¡± His mouth was answering Murong Qi Qi, but Feng Cang¡¯s hand began to act dishonest...
1. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
2. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
3. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family
4. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
5. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 147 Have no sense of shame (1)
Chapter 147 Have no sense of shame (1)
¡°Why did the emperor send a secret guard? Could it be toe catch us in the act?!¡± After hearing Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi immediately sat up excitedly. ¡°Is he already on the way? What do we need to do?!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t notice that after Feng Cang saw this little woman being so excited about ¡®caught in the act¡¯, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, ¡°What to do? Of course, it¡¯s to do some things that would let people misunderstand!¡±
¡°Cang...I am talking about serious things with you!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face got hot. She reached out and grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s restless big hand. ¡°How do you n to deal with Xia Yun Xi?! Seeing her appearance, she seemed to be set on you!¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t Qing Qing believe in me?¡± Feng Cang turned over and held Murong Qi Qi under his body...
¡°Not that I don¡¯t believe you...I¡¯m only worried that woman would use underhanded means...Mm, don¡¯t...I¡¯m talking with you!¡±
¡°I already let Ji Xiang watch over her. Nothing will happen!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s lips fell on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s earlobe. ¡°Xia Yun Xi¡¯s emperor father and my mother are half-brother and sister (same father, different mothers). Her grandmother is my grandmother¡¯s junior sister. The one who poisoned my mother is her...¡±
The maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother of Feng Cang were emperor and empress of Dong Lu. Feng Cang¡¯s maternal grandmother was a disciple of Peng Lai Ind. Then, the maternal grandfather took maternal grandmother¡¯s junior sister. Maternal grandmother died, leaving FC¡¯s mother. The junior sister poisoned FC¡¯s mother with the fetal poison and gave birth to the current DL¡¯s emperor Xia Jin.
¡°So, she should call you cousin brother?¡±
¡°Hehe, to be exact, we¡¯re enemies...¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we catch her and use her to exchange the fetal poison in your body!¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t concentrate, I¡¯ll punish you!¡±
The person in ck squatted outside Long Autumn pce and stared at the situation inside until morning. When the sky didn¡¯t turn bright yet, he heard a ¡°squeak¡± sound. The door opened. Feng Cang came out of the chamber in full spirits. Before he left, he gently closed the door as if he was afraid to disturb Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sweet dreams.
Sure enough, there¡¯s adultery! The person in ckmented very much in his heart. There¡¯s too many horror things during these times! Big brother stayed in the little sister¡¯s room. If this thing gets out, it would be an explosive news, ah!
The person in ck reported Feng Cang¡¯s situation to Wanyan Lie. Hearing this news, Wanyan Lie was in a great mood. If Feng Cang didn¡¯t bother with the proper human rtionship and really got together with Murong Qi Qi, then when will their child be born? Maybe, this child already existed now!
Thinking about the child, Wanyan Lie inexplicably got excited. If there¡¯s a child, what should he gift this child? At least, the child¡¯s parents were brave. They did the thing he wanted to do in the past, but didn¡¯t dare to do it.
The person in ck could feel the joy from the body of the man wearing a dragon robe in front of him. Although he didn¡¯t know where this joy came from, but the person in ck kept his kneeling position, and didn¡¯t dare to have the slightest neglect.
¡°Emperor, it¡¯s time for the morning court meeting!¡± Jing De came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side, dragging him from his feverish fantasy back to the reality.
¡°Alright!¡± Wanyan Lie tidied up his clothes. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded the person in ck, ¡°Continue keep watch. Report their interactions at any time to zhen.¡±1
During the morning court, the officials discovered that the emperor¡¯s mood was very good today. From beginning to end, Wanyan Lie kept a touch of smile. Besides, his mind wandered several times. He needed Jing De to remind him before he got his mind back.
After the morning court, the officials gathered in groups of three and four. They wanted to know what good things had happened for such an abnormal behavior to appear in the always calm and collected Wanyan Lie.
Some people guessed that the emperor got a new favorite concubine and filled the vacancy Yue Lan Zhi left. Some people said it was because the treasury was full, which made the emperor happy. There were also people who said that Nan Lin wang2 and Dong Lu¡¯s princess Xia Yu Xi¡¯s good matter was approaching. The emperor could get the fishery through a marriage alliance. That was why he was happy...
In the end, all kinds of rumors merged together and spread to Wanyan Yi. After hearing everyone¡¯s assumptions about Feng Cang and Xia Yun Xi, Wanyan Yi couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists. If emperor father really thought like this, then what should he do?
Inside Nan Lin wangfu,3 from the moment Xia Yun Xi had woken up early in the morning, she had been boiling chicken soup. The small fire burned slowly. When Feng Cang came back from the morning court; he would be able to drink a delicious chicken soup. While Xia Yun Xi fanned next to the small stove, she reveled in her own virtuousness.
Before, at White Cloud Restaurant, Murong Qi Qi said that Feng Cang liked virtuous women the most. Like her, not only was she virtuous, she also had a strong background, identity and such a rich dowry. Even if Feng Cang lit up thenterns, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find another! Who wouldn¡¯t be attracted to her?!
¡°Princess, wangye has returned!¡± Hong Ye trotted back and panted. The moment she reached Guanyu building, she reported to Xia Yun Xi the news she¡¯d acquired.
¡°Really?!¡± Xia Yun Xi was so happy, she almost knocked over the chicken soup. Feng Cang had returned. This was the time for her to show a good performance!
Xia Yun Xi let people bring the chicken soup out with adle and let a small pce maid hold it. After that, she was escorted by Hong Ye to Tingsong building
Only after personally going this time, did Xia Yun Xi discover that Guanyu building and Tingsong building were so far from each other. Although the winter was over and the spring had just began, but she was used to using a sedan for travel. When had she ever walked so far?
¡°Stop...rest for a while. I can¡¯t walk anymore!¡± Xia Yun Xi sat on a stone bench. Her hands rubbed her legs. Why is Nan Lin wangfu so big, ah?! Till when does she have to walk before she could see Feng Cang, ah?!
Hong Ye squatted to massage Xia Yun Xi¡¯s legs. All the way, Xia Yun Xi had been resting. The originally one-hour route was now more than two hours walk for her. Now, there¡¯s still a great distance between this area and Tingsong building. ording to Xia Yun Xi¡¯s way of walking, they may not even reach it tonight.
¡°Princess, if you continue to rest, when the chicken soup reaches wangye, it would be cold!¡±
Hong Ye carefully reminded at a side. Hearing her mention the chicken soup, Xia Yun Xi immediately stood up. ¡°Right, right, right, how could I forget that?! If the chicken soup gets cold, it won¡¯t be tasty! Feng Cang¡¯s body is not good, naturally he can¡¯t eat cold things! Hong Ye, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s quickly go!¡±
When Xia Yun Xi arrived at Tingsong building, her pair of legs were almost ruined. From young till now, Xia Yun Xi had never walked such a long way. This time, she broke this rule for Feng Cang.
Originally, Xia Yun Xi wanted to enter the ce directly, but she was blocked by Ruyi. Knowing that it wouldn¡¯t be easy to see Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi quickly adopted a gentle policy, ¡°This little brother, bothering you to go inside and inform wangye; say that Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun is seeking a meeting.¡±
¡°Wangye is dealing with the government affairs. He doesn¡¯t allow anyone to disturb him.¡±
¡°However, bengong4 hase a very long way to let wangye drink the soup bengong has personally boiled. This little brother, help a bit out and give a bit of convenience!¡± Xia Yun Xi gave Hong Ye a nce. Hong Ye immediately took out a silver ingot worth ten liang, and gave it to Ruyi.
Ruyi didn¡¯t reject and generously received the money. Originally, Xia Yun Xi thought that after getting the money, Ruyi would make way. She didn¡¯t expect that he would still block the way in front of her and didn¡¯t let her go in.
¡°Wangye said that he doesn¡¯t want to see anyone.¡±
¡°You...¡± Seeing Ruyi receive an advantage and not give a convenience, made Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face turn red. ¡°Bengong is princess Yun. It¡¯s your majesty who let me move into Nan Lin wangfu! You¡¯re only a ve. Blocking bengong here, what kind of ability is that?! Get out of the way, bengong wants to see Feng Cang!¡±
¡°Although I¡¯m a ve, but I¡¯m wangye¡¯s ve and only listen to wangye¡¯s orders.¡±
Ruyi¡¯s puffed face made Xia Yun Xi very angry. ¡°Bengong boiled the chicken soup that wangye loves the most. You use all sort of excuses to not let bengong see wangye. Later, when the chicken soup gets cold, would you be able to bear responsibility?!¡±
Hearing Xia Yun Xi say that made Ruyiugh just once.
¡°Who said our wangye loves chicken soup the most? If our wangye touched chicken meat, his whole body would get an allergy. In this life, he hates chicken the most, not to mention chicken soup. In this wangfu, there isn¡¯t even one living chicken! Princess, where did you hear this? Haha, fortunately I blocked you. If you went inside, the moment wangye sees that it¡¯s chicken soup, he would certainly turn the table over and think that you wanted to harm him!¡±
Ruyi¡¯s half true and half false words stopped Xia Yun Xi, ¡°What? Wangye can¡¯t eat chicken?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t lie to you! If I let you in, and because of this soup, wangye gets annoyed, I would also be punished.¡±
After Ruyi said this, Xia Yun Xi began to somewhat believe it. It was clear that someone wanted to sabotage her!
Thinking till here, Xia Yun Xi turned her head and red at Hong Ye. Hong Ye was startled and immediately knelt in front of her, ¡°Princess, this ve really heard it from this wangfu¡¯s people. Even if this ve has a very big gut, but this ve wouldn¡¯t dare to fool princess, ah!¡±
¡°It¡¯s really not you?¡± If you said that Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart was a calm water, then Ruyi¡¯s words were like a small stone. Throwing it and with a ¡®ssh¡¯, a circle of ripples would appear.
¡°Princess, this ve, like princess had just entered wangfu not long ago. How would this ve know that wangye is allergic to chicken?! This ve followed you for so many years, presumably princess knows more than anyone what kind of person this ve is!¡±
Although Hong Ye had followed Xia Yun Xi since little and was her confidante, but after meeting with Feng Cang¡¯s matter, Xia Yun Xi would still lose her reasoning. Immediately, two ps went to Hong Ye¡¯s delicate face, ¡°Lowly ve! You set up bengong! Fortunately, this little brother told bengong the truth, otherwise, wouldn¡¯t bengong have harmed wangye!¡±
¡°This ve is innocent, ah! Princess, this ve is innocent!¡± Hong Ye wore two red handprints, her mouth kept shouting ¡®innocent¡¯ and her head knocked heavily on the ground. It so happened that this ce had a stone road. Hong Ye only knocked three or four times, which made her head already swell up like a purple bag.
Hong Ye kept shouting ¡®innocent¡¯. Her intonation was tearful. Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t moved because of this. Her eyes stared at Tingsong building. She wanted to make trouble to cause Feng Cang toe out.
It was just, Xia Yun xi calcted wrong. Feng Cang knew that she was about toe, so he had long left wangfu. Now, it was only Xia Yun Xi standing foolishly outside Tingsong building.
After waiting for a long time, not a sound came out of the building. Xia Yun Xi got anxious. She had sacrificed Hong Ye for Feng Cang. Hong Ye¡¯s head was already broken because of the knocks. Could this still not move Feng Cang? He refused toe out and take one nce at her?
Although it had been some time since she¡¯d arrived at Bei Zhou, but Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t even get to see Feng Cang¡¯s face. So, she¡¯d boiled chicken soup and brought it over. She didn¡¯t think that this message was wangfu¡¯s ves fooling her.
Xia Yun Xi knew that Hong Ye was not to me. However, to see Feng Cang once, she couldn¡¯t not use the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy¡¯s confidence. Xia Yun Xi wanted to let Feng Cang know through punishing Hong Ye, that as long as the matter was rted to him, she would fully protect him and she hoped to move Feng Cang¡¯s heart. However, it seemed that Feng Cang doesn¡¯t allow himself to be pushed around.
The pair of master and servant in front of him couldn¡¯t help but make Ruyi feel sick. He had never seen such a master. When meeting with things, she would let the ve block it! Seeing that Xia Yun Xi got impatient from waiting and wanted to rush inside, Ruyi pulled out his sword without a trace of politeness and stopped in front of Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Presumptuous!¡± Seeing Ruyi use his weapon, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s expression turned dark, ¡°Do you know who bengong is? You actually dared to use force on bengong!¡±
¡°You¡¯re a princess, but my master is wangye! Wangye said to not allow anyone to put one step inside Tingsong building; otherwise, kill without pardon! Princess, don¡¯t force me!¡±
From Xia Yun Xi¡¯s point of view, Ruyi was just a ve. He was so humble, he couldn¡¯t even bepared to ants. Now, he was the fox exploiting the tiger¡¯s might. He kept saying that it was Feng Cang¡¯s meaning and blocked her outside of Tingsong building. This was obviously stopping her and not wanting her to see Feng Cang.
The fox exploiting the tiger¡¯s might: use powerful connections to intimidate people
¡°Get out of the way! Bengong wants to see wangye!¡± Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t scared. Since she wasn¡¯t afraid of Ruyi, she wanted to force her way in. The next moment, a cool air appeared on her neck. It turned out that Ruyi¡¯s sword was already on her neck. Just a bit closer would¡¯ve cut her beautiful throat and let her be a corpse.
The small pce maid who¡¯d carried the chicken soup, the moment she saw this situation, she was so scared that her hand drooped. The food tray in her hand fell on the ground. The chicken soup spilled and sprinkled all over the ce.
¡°Princess, don¡¯t get angry!¡± Hong Ye found that the momentum wasn¡¯t right. She quickly stood up and pulled Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Princess, here is Bei Zhou. Everyone knows that Nan Lin wang is temperamental. If you offend him, maybe...,¡± Hong Ye didn¡¯t finish her sentence, but she told Xia Yun Xi the truth. This is Feng Cang¡¯s territory. You, ah, should act a bit more leisurely. After all, there were so many rumors about Feng Cang. Even if he really killed Xia Yun Xi, at this time, no one woulde save her.
¡°Humph!¡± Xia Yun Xi stomped and red ferociously at Ruyi, ¡°You wait! When bengong bes Nan Lin wangfei,5 bengong will let you see (suffer)!¡±
Ruyi¡¯s obstruction made Xia Yun Xi even more determined to see Feng Cang and be his woman. He¡¯s just a small guard and dared to be so arrogant. She must be Feng Cang¡¯s woman. By then, she¡¯ll let Ruyi suffer and avenge for today¡¯s humiliation!
Xia Yun Xi left angrily. As she was leaving, she moved too quickly and stepped on her skirt. Like eating dog¡¯s poop, she fell on the ground, making Ruyiugh out loudly.
¡°Princess!¡± Hong Ye and the small pce maid quickly stepped forward to support Xia Yun Xi. They didn¡¯t expect that the moment she got up, the first thing she did was give each one of them a p in the face. Then, she turned her head and red once at Ruyi.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Xia Yun Xi had never received such humiliation. The one who gave her grimaces of displeasure was just a ve. How could the anger be eliminated from Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart?
After returning to Guanyu building, Xia Yun Xi was already tired half to death. Plus the fact that she was humiliated, made her angry and annoyed. Her charming face was very red.
¡°Hong Ye, when will eldest senior brother and third senior brother arrive?¡±
¡°Princess, sir Misha and sir Jia Lan must be on the way. Sir Misha is unable to move freely. Presumably, they will be dyed for some days.¡±
¡°Humph!¡± Xia Yun Xi threw the porcin cup onto the ground. ¡°When eldest senior brother and third senior brother arrive, I will let them see! Feng Cang is mine. No one can stop my determination to be Nan Lin wangfei! This man is mine. I will definitely not give up!¡±
Regardless of how ugly Xia Yun Xi cursed, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t even hear it. At this time, he was at Long Autumn pce, keeping Murong Qi Qipany.
Ever since Feng Xie disguised himself and entered Long Autumn pce with Murong Qi Qi, he spent all his time apanying Wanyan Ming Yue. Feng Xie wanted to make up for the many days and nights he had been separated from Wanyan Ming Yue. He also hoped that Wanyan Ming Yue would wake up quickly from the deep sleep and let their family be reunited.
Feng Xie was like this, and Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi also thought like that. The two also freed as much time as possible to take turns and keep Wanyan Ming Yuepany.
Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo also prepared a herbal tea created specficially for Wanyan Ming Yue. Plus, Feng Xie personally fed liquid food to Wanyan Ming Yue.
Feng Canging to Long Autumn pce; firstly, was to apany Murong Qi Qi. Secondly, was because he didn¡¯t want to see Xia Yun Xi. Now, Xia Yun had taken the imperial decree and moved into Nan Lin wangfu. If something happened to her, he would be the biggest suspect. So, Feng Cang temporarily hid from this ¡®gue¡¯.
However, today, Feng Cang calcted wrongly. Because after Xia Yun Xi hit the wall at Tingsong building, she rested for a while and then went to the pce. Her purpose was to find Murong Qi Qi.
After returning to Guanyu building, the more Xia Yun Xi thought about it, the angrier she got. She¡¯s the dignified Dong Lu¡¯s princess. She was actually yed by those servants of wangfu. Firstly, she got the wrong information. Then, a sword was directly put on her neck by Ruyi. This made her not be able to swallow this anger, no matter what.
However, now she¡¯s alone without any help in Bei Zhou and no one to support her. Feng Cang didn¡¯t even want to see her. This really made Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart hurt. In pain, Xia Yun Xi suddenly remembered Murong Qi Qi.
Regardless if the rumors from the outside were true or false; no matter if the rtionship between Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang was impossible to unravel, but at least, she¡¯s Feng Cang¡¯s biological little sister. They had blood ties that couldn¡¯t be severed. If she could work on Murong Qi Qi and get Murong Qi Qi¡¯s support, maybe, it would be easier to deal with Feng Cang.
Thinking till here, Xia Yun Xi soaked in a bath and washed away the tiredness from her body. She put on new clothes and went to the pce.
¡°Princess, Xia Yun Xi is asking to see you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi had juste from the underground pce with Feng Cang. Su Mei came to them and said that Xia Yun Xi had arrived. The moment Murong Qi Qi heard this, she exchanged a nce with Feng Cang. This woman really travelled everywhere. She had actuallye to Long Autumn pce.
¡°Cang, isn¡¯t it better if you withdraw for a moment?! I fear that after that infatuated flower sees your ¡®countenance of a flower, face like a moon¡¯ appearance, water would flood Long Autumn pce and make this ce be full of saliva.¡±
Countenance like a flower, face like a moon: very beautiful
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words revealed a sour taste. She looked carefully at this man¡¯s extraordinary and devilishly beautiful face. She sighed deeply. Why be so devilishly beautiful, ah? Fondling the flowers and trampling the grass everywhere. It would take a long time to shoot all those small flies away.
Fondle the flowers and trample the grass: womanize
How could Feng Cang not understand Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze? He pulled her into his arms. A deep kiss locked her lips. He used action to express his true feelings.
Su Mei saw this couple kiss like there was no one around, and her face got red. Now, it¡¯s during the day. Miss and guye6 are already like this...Cough, cough, really didn¡¯t pay attention to the location! At a side, there¡¯s still her, this unmarried girl! They¡¯re not afraid to lead her astray!
¡°Is Qing Qing satisfied?¡± After a long time, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lips. Looking at her swollen pinkish lips and her slight panting, Feng Cang¡¯s finger brushed over Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sideburn, ¡°Be good! Wait for me at night!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words let Su Mei¡¯s face burn utterly red. Really, shy to death! Miss and guye are too much of that!
Chapter 148 Have no sense of shame (2)
Chapter 148 Have no sense of shame (2)
Outside Long Autumn pce, Xia Yun Xi stood there for a long time. Su Mei had gone inside to notify. In the end, she still hadn¡¯t returned, making her (XYX) anxious from waiting.
Although Xia Yun Xi wanted to go in directly, but this was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ce. In any case, she should leave a good impression on her future sister-inw. After all, there were some things that she needed Murong Qi Qi to do. She couldn¡¯t treat her like Ruyi and go overboard.
Just as Xia Yun Xi had be a bit impatient from waiting, a man in silver clothes arrived.
Originally, Wanyan Kang had wanted toe y with Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t expect that the moment he arrived at Long Autumn pce¡¯s entrance, he would encounter Xia Yun Xi. Previously, Wanyan Kang had seen Xia Yun Xi at White Cloud Restaurant. He knew this woman was very good at pretending. Now, seeing her wait at Long Autumn pce, Wanyan Kang became vignt. Could it be that Xia Yun Xi hade looking for trouble with Murong Qi Qi?
Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t know Wanyan Kang, but after seeing the silver dragon on his clothes, she guessed that he was a prince. However, she wasn¡¯t sure which one he was.
¡°What are you looking at, ugly thing?!¡± Wanyan Kang saw Xia Yun Xi smiling at him, and he humphed lightly. He raised his head, stepped into Long Autumn pce and didn¡¯t bother with Xia Yun Xi anymore.
After being called an ¡®ugly thing¡¯ by the other party, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s smile froze on her face. Her nose got sore. She almost cried.
Although she wasn¡¯t a national grace and divine fragrance, but in any case, she¡¯s sweet and lovable. When people saw her, they would love her. When flowers saw her, they would blossom. At Dong Lu, the men who fell for her could take up a whole row from the east to the west. She didn¡¯t expect that aftering here, she would be called an ¡®ugly thing¡¯. How could Xia Yun Xi ept this?
National grace and divine fragrance: outstanding beauty
Women, regardless of being beautiful or ugly, all cared about their appearance. Not to mention, a ¡®cut above others¡¯ princess like Xia Yun Xi. How could she allow others to say such a thing about her? She followed with big steps and grabbed Wanyan Kang, ¡°Who did you call an ugly thing?!¡±
¡°Bah, bah!¡± Wanyan Kang jumped and broke free from Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hands. ¡°Aside from you, who else could be so ugly? Really didn¡¯t see someone who¡¯s so unaware of themselves like you before!¡±
Earlier, Xia Yun Xi thought that maybe Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t know her, maybe he was in a bad mood. That¡¯s why he had said such words. But now, the other party was even more certain that she was the ugly thing, making Xia Yun Xi anxious.
¡°You...how am I ugly?! Say! How am I ugly?!¡± Although she usually pretended to be weak, but now it¡¯s the problem of protecting her ¡®face¡¯. Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t want to let Wanyan Kang off the hook like this.
¡°Tsk, tsk, miss, being a girl, you should at least have some self-awareness, alright? Look at you, the eyebrows are deformed, the eyes are nted, the nose is drooped and the mouth is crooked. You already look like this and stille out to disturb the city with your appearance. Being ugly is not your fault, buting out to scare people is!¡±
¡°Bastard!¡± Xia Yun Xi raised her hand towards Wanyan Kang. She didn¡¯t expect that, just as she¡¯s about to touch his face, the other party would sh and disappear in front of Xia Yun Xi.
¡°The person is ugly; the temper is not good. It seems that no one would want you!¡±
Wanyan Kang was in a very good mood after making Xia Yun Xi furious. Toozy to bother with Xia Yun Xi, Wanyan Kang unhurriedly went to look for Murong Qi Qi. ¡°Little cousin sister! Little cousin sister!¡±
Murong Qi Qi had long seen Wanyan Kang and also heard the dialogue between him and Xia Yun Xi. He really wished for the whole world to be in chaos. He had humiliated Dong Lu¡¯s princess like this. Now, after seeing the crying appearance of Xia Yun Xi, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s boredom from before was swept away. She directly went out to meet Wanyan Kang.
¡°Cousin brother, you came, ah! You¡¯re too mean. I¡¯ve already moved in here for two days. But you only came to see me now! I thought that you woulde yesterday to congratte on my house-moving!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice let Xia Yun Xi wake up from Wanyan Kang¡¯s humiliation, grief and indignation. That¡¯s right, it was this voice, this woman who¡¯d humiliated her at White Cloud Restaurant¡¯s arena...
Thinking of this, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but look at Murong Qi Qi.
Never mind that it was just one look, but it made Xia Yun Xi freeze in ce. That girl was so pure, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal realm. A faint smile was in her beautiful eyes. White jade-like nose. Petal-like lips. Between her eyebrows was a blood red cinnabar mole, making her originally perfect face even more breathtaking.
Looking again, the attitude Wanyan Kang spoke with Murong Qi Qi waspletely different from his attitude towards her. Xia Yun Xi finally understood why Wanyan Kang would call her an ugly thing. Because, in front of Murong Qi Qi, she really can only be regarded as such.
Suddenly, a sense of humiliation entered her heart! Apanied byplex emotions like envy, jealousy and hate; all these feelings filled Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart. No wonder the world spread rumors that Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo was the number one beauty of the world. This number one title was well-deserved.
¡°Didn¡¯t Ie today?!¡± Wanyan Kang acted as though he was performing magic. He took out a bright case and handed it to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°This is my gift for you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi opened the bright case. Insideid an egg-sized colorful stone. The sunlight fell on the stone and it emitted colors like the rainbow, dazzling people¡¯s eyes.
¡°So beautiful!¡± Murong Qi Qi took out the colorful stone and looked at it while facing the son, ¡°Cousin brother, there¡¯s a rainbow inside!¡±
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi liked it, Wanyan Kang was very happy. He moved closer to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Little cousin sister, using this as dowry for Su Mei, do you think it would work?¡±
It turned out that he had brought over this colorful stone to please her (MQQ). It was because of Su Mei, ah! She nced once at Su Mei behind her. Murong Qi Qi chuckled, ¡°Would work! This gift is original. I like it!¡±
¡°Really? Then, that¡¯s it?¡±
¡°Well!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brow wrinkled slightly and she pretended to be in a very difficult position, ¡°You need to ask the opinion of the involved party, ah! You didn¡¯t even propose; how do you know if she¡¯s willing?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very small. Only the few people surrounding her could hear her words. Su Mei saw that Murong Qi Qi was making fun of her, she stomped, ¡°Miss, if you¡¯re like this, I will ignore you!¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Murong Qi Qi put away the bright case. ¡°I can only say, you passed my bar. The rest is on your own.¡±
Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang¡¯s talking andughing appearance made Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart feel even more uneven. Why did this man directly curse her as an ¡®ugly thing¡¯ and also treating Murong Qi Qi so good? Could it be that he was attracted by Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance?
Then, what kind of feelings does Feng Cang have for Murong Qi Qi? He wouldn¡¯t forget the appropriate ways of conduct and their identity of siblings because of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s appearance, right?!
Thinking till here, Xia Yun Xi went forward and smiled at Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Princess Zhen Guo let bengong1 wait for a long time, ah!¡±
¡°You are...,¡± Murong Qi Qi looked at Xia Yun Xi as if she had never seen this person before. Her expression was so real that even Xia Yun Xi began to doubt if that person at White Cloud Restaurant that day was really Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Aiya, princess, this ve forgot to tell you! This is Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun. She came just now to ask to see princess. It was just...the moment fifth highness appeared, this ve forgot to tell you.¡±
Su Mei directly pushed this matter to Wanyan Kang. Wanyan Kang looked once at Xia Yun Xi. His nose was raised to the sky once again, ¡°Little cousin sister, you know her?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head very cooperatively.
¡°Don¡¯t have dealings with people you don¡¯t know. Who knows how the character of the other party is?! Little cousin sister is so pure. What to do if youe in contact with people of unknown origin, proximity to pitch makes you ck, and be bad?¡±
Proximity to pitch makes you ck: different environments provide different influence
Wanyan Kang had long been aware of Xia Yun Xi pestering Feng Cang. Towards such a smelly fly who wanted to destroy Feng Cang and Murong Q Qi, Wanyan Kang would have no mercy. He immediately saw her as the object of attack and fried her madly and violently.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s poisonous tongue made Murong Qi Qi want tough, but she had to pretend and looked innocently at Xia Yun Xi. Then she looked at Wanyan Kang, ¡°Cousin brother, is it really like that? She doesn¡¯t seem like a bad person, ah!¡±
¡°One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Little cousin sister, you can¡¯t judge a person by appearance. I¡¯m a few years older than you and ate a little more salt than you. That is why my eyes are a bit brighter than yours. In short, if you can¡¯t determine the character of the other person, don¡¯t have any dealings with him/her!¡±
¡°Oh...I know.¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded, acting well-behaved. The echoes of the two people made Xia Yun Xi so angry, she almost fainted.
What is calling a person of unknown origin and the character is not determined? She, a dignified Dong Lu princess, had actually been talked about like this by Wanyan Kang! If this ce was Dong Lu, even if Wanyan Kang had ten heads, he would¡¯ve long been dragged out and beheaded.
Although Xia Yun Xi wished she could chop down Wanyan Kang¡¯s head and kick it as a ball, but she couldn¡¯t in front of Murong Qi Qi; besides, Wanyan Kang was a prince of Bei Zhou and these two people have a deep rtion with Feng Cang, she couldn¡¯t destroy her image and therefore, must endure.
¡°Bengong is not the bad guy. Presumably, fifth highness and princess Zhen Guo still don¡¯t know me. Bengong is Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi!¡±
¡°Oh...,¡± hearing Xia Yun Xi introduce herself like this, Wanyan Kang seemed like he had suddenly realized something.
¡°You¡¯re the princess Yun who recently moved into Nan Lin wangfu,2 ah? Haha, that, sorry for just now, ah. I thought you¡¯re a concubine from the pce! You don¡¯t know, my emperor father really loves princess Zhen Guo. So, there are always some concubines who want to worm their way into being friends with princess Zhen Guo. They wanted to get the opportunity of my emperor father¡¯s view in a new light through princess Zhen Guo.¡±
¡°Hehe, if you didn¡¯t say it just now, I would¡¯ve thought that you¡¯re like those jealous women of the harem! I¡¯m sorry, ah. It seemed that I misunderstood! I¡¯m sorry, ah, that...what kind of princess again?! Aiya, my memory isn¡¯t good and I can¡¯t remember. Troubling you to repeat it!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s ingratiatingly naughty smile made Xia Yun Xi wish that she could rush to him and give him a p. What does he mean? Is he ridiculing her? Patience, patience; for Feng Cang, she needed to endure this. Take revenge in the future!
Forcing down the anger in her heart, Xia Yun Xi smiled slightly, ¡°Bengong is Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yun, Xia Yun Xi. Troubling your highness to remember it. Bengong doesn¡¯t like to repeat the second time.¡±
Finally, she put on the airs of a princess! A corner of Wanyan Kang¡¯s mouth raised. His smile was full of mocking.
¡°What are you all doing, standing here?¡± Just as a strange atmosphere appeared, Wanyan Yi¡¯s voice floated over. Ever since he¡¯d discussed with Lin Ke Xin, he had been wanting to create a false amorous impression with Murong Qi Qi for the crowd, so Wanyan Yi decided toe every day to Long Autumn pce.
Today was the first time. He didn¡¯t expect that he would meet Xia Yun Xi here. Plus, the fact that her expression looked as though she¡¯d suffered much, making Wanyan Yi couldn¡¯t help but look at Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang. In the end, which one of them had bullied this little poor thing?
Murong Qi Qi quickly captured the questioning look in Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes. Then, she saw the way that Wanyan Yi looked at Xia Yun Xi was very different, making Murong Qi Qi suddenly realise something. Could it be that Wanyan Yi has feelings for Xia Yun Xi? A g man with a g woman, really a match made in heaven!
¡°Big brother, we didn¡¯t do anything! I came looking for little cousin sister to celebrate her house-moving. Big brother, did you alsoe for this? Did you bring a gift?¡± Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t like the way Wanyan Yi had looked at him. He didn¡¯t do anything, so why was Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes full of usation?
After Wanyan Kang said that, Wanyan Yi took out a long box and handed it to Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Congrattions, little cousin sister!¡±
Su Mei took the box and opened it. Insideid a gold embedded jade. It was very valuable.
¡°Thanks, cousin brother! Second cousin brother, pleasee inside! Princess Yun, pleasee inside!¡±
The other party had alreadye to her door. Plus, there were the two Wanyan brothers. Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t drive Xia Yun Xi away. She simply let the threee inside.
This was the first time in more than ten years that Wanyan Yi had entered Long Autumn pce. Ever since this Long Autumn pce had be Wanyan Lie¡¯s pampered consort¡¯s exclusive ground; aside from Wanyan Lie, Jing De and Jing De¡¯s people, he (WL) didn¡¯t allow others toe inside this pce.
From the moment Wanyan Yi entered, he looked directly at the furnishings.
With one look, it made Wanyan Yi surprised. Presumably, all the treasures had been brought here by Wanyan Lie. The whole chamber, no matter if it was the cups to drink tea or the chairs, not to mention those decorations, which one wasn¡¯t a premium product?
With only one nce, Wanyan Yi affirmed that Murong Qi Qi held a very high position in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. So much that she¡¯d surpassed Feng Cang. The empress didn¡¯t even enjoy the treatment of here.
It seemed that consort mother was right. As long as he gets Murong Qi Qi, he would be able to get the throne!
If it wasn¡¯t because he had personallye to Long Autumn pce, Wanyan Yi wouldn¡¯t have known the luxury of this ce and also wouldn¡¯t have been so willing to pursue Murong Qi Qi. Now, after seeing Wanyan Lie¡¯s pampering, Wanyan Yi finally became determined to fight for the throne.
Xia Yun Xi was a royal princess. She had grown up in the pce and had seen many treasures. So, after she swept her gaze over the treasures here, she was also surprised. It seemed that the rumors from outside weren¡¯t false. This princess Zhen Guo really had gotten the favor of Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor.
Originally, Xia Yun Xi wanted toe and have a talk between girls with Murong Qi Qi and worm her way into being friends with her (MQQ). Then, she could get closer to Murong Qi Qi and let her (MQQ) support her (XYX) in bing Nan Lin wangfei!3 Then, give her some benefits, which would tempt Murong Qi Qi and she would have to help her (XYX). However, Wanyan Kang and Wanyan Yi suddenly appeared, ruining her npletely and making Xia Yun Xi very angry.
These two people are really hateful! The way Xia Yun Xi looked at Wanyan Kang was full of disgust. She also passed this sentiment to Wanyan Yi, making Wanyan Yi bewildered. When had he offended Xia Yun Xi?
Murong Qi Qi and Xia Yun Xi sat opposite of Wanyan Yi. Hepared the two for half a day and felt that Lin Ke Xin was right. Although Xia Yun Xi could evoke the sense of protection from men, but Murong Qi Qi let people want to conquer her even more. Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t have the aura to be the mother of a country, but Murong Qi Qi had it.
Although in Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart, he liked Murong Qi Qi more, but he didn¡¯t want to give up on Xia Yun Xi like this. Not to mention her identity and the Dong Lu behind her, her delicate face alone would make a heroic feeling rise in his heart.
When he gets the throne, he must prove to Xia Yun Xi that he is a thousand, ten thousand times better than Feng Cang; make her be hell bent in love with him and surrender under his body.
The originally liveliness became awkward because of Wanyan Yi¡¯s appearance. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have anything to do other than stare at Su Mei and give her winks. From Wanyan Yi¡¯s perspective, Wanyan Kang was giving Murong Qi Qi flirtatious winks.
Hateful! Inside his sleeves, Wanyan Yi clenched his fists tightly. Wanyan Kang really got the thought of fighting for the throne with him. This brother is not worthy of having!
Murong Qi Qi was toozy to dispel this awkwardness. She¡¯d rather drink tea leisurely so she also didn¡¯t speak to break this dull atmosphere. Soon, Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t sit any longer, so she got up and left. Wanyan Yi also followed after her. When only Wanyan Kang was left, Murong Qi Qi let a long sigh of relief.
¡°Ah Kang, did the same mother really give birth to you and Wanyan Yi? Why do I feel that the gaze of this big brother of yours is very gloomy!¡± Remembering once again how Lin Ke Xin looked at Wanyan Kang at the previous banquet, Murong Qi Qi was somewhat worried for Wanyan Kang.
Although this fifth prince trifled without respect, but he put importance on rtionships and friendships. He¡¯s many times better than that hypocritical Wanyan Yi. Everyone knew that Lin Ke Xin was biased in love towards her eldest son. If she hurt Wanyan Kang due to helping her eldest son get the throne, then as Wanyan Kang¡¯s friend, Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t leave the matter at that.
Knowing that Murong Qi Qi was worried for him, Wanyan Kang smiled naughtily, ¡°Cousin-inw, instead of worrying about me, you better think of how to deal with Xia Yun Xi! The pestering skills of this woman is the strongest that I¡¯ve ever seen. If she ys dirty tricks, what should you and cousin brother do?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t mind about what Wanyan Kang said. The quickest way to solve a problem was to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Her most important task now was to let Wanyan Ming Yue wake up. She didn¡¯t have the energy to deal with Xia Yun Xi. When Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s problem gets solved, then that would be Xia Yun Xi¡¯s time of death.

2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
Chapter 149 (Part 1) Shameless couple
Chapter 149 (Part 1) Shameless couple
Compared to Yun Xi¡¯sck of shame, Ming Yue Cheng just let people send over some specialities of Nan Feng to Murong Qi Qi. However, he knew that there were differences between men and women. If he met Murong Qi Qi in private, it would be bad for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation. So, he¡¯d endured all this time and waited for the pce banquet.
Ever since Xia Yun Xi had been humiliated by Wanyan Kang at Long Autumn pce, she had given up on using Murong Qi Qi as a shortcut. From Xia Yun Xi¡¯s point of view, Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang¡¯s rtionship was so great that they must be the jackals of the same tribe. She needed to rely on herself for her happiness.
Jackals of the same tribe: they are all just as bad as each other.
So, every day after that incident, Xia Yun Xi got up early and waited for Feng Cang to return from the morning court. She intended to have a sweet encounter with him. However, she waited for four or five days and only saw Ji Xiang and Ruyi, this pair of siblings¡¯ mocking smiles.
Inside the capital, the rumors were that Dong Lu¡¯s princess was pursuing relentlessly, forcing Nan Lin wang1 to have no way out; resulting in that he was unable to return to Nan Lin wangfu2 and could only stay at fifth prince¡¯s residence.
More busybodies dug out Xia Yun Xi¡¯s consort mother¡¯s identity. Her consort mother was originally an orphan unintentionally saved by Dong Lu¡¯s empress. Later, while the empress was pregnant, she climbed on the dragon bed. Because of her skills and charms, she became Xia Jin¡¯s favorite consort. Since then, she never put the empress in her eyes...
All kinds of rumors and the fact that Feng Cang was hiding at Wanyan Kang¡¯s ce, was put in front of their eyes, making the citizens of the capital thoroughly understand this Dong Lu¡¯s princess. Thinking about what had happened previously at White Cloud Restaurant, so many people had witnessed Xia Yun Xi¡¯s shamelessness, making people couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Really what kind of seeds would make what kind of flowers! The mother is not a good thing, how can the daughter be a person of good character?!
¡°Bastard! Bastard!¡± Xia Yun Xi smashed the things in the room. ¡°If I catch the person who spread the rumors, I will definitely kill him and execute his nine generations! Execute his nine generations!¡±
¡°Princess, don¡¯t get angry and make your body unwell!¡± Hong Ye saw Xia Yun Xi acting like that, and immediately reminded her. Here was Nan Lin wangfu. All the things being smashed were Feng Cang¡¯s.
After Hong Ye mentioned Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi also got angry. No wonder she didn¡¯t see him at wangfu. It turned out that he had run away to live at Wanyan Kang¡¯s. It was definitely Wanyan Kang who¡¯d said something in front of Feng Cang. That¡¯s why he hid from her as though he was avoiding a gue. No wonder, even after she¡¯d kept watch day and night, she still didn¡¯t even see a shadow. It turned out that he went into hiding at Wanyan Kang¡¯s! Could it be that she¡¯s severe floods and fierce beasts?
Severe floods and fierce beasts: extremely dangerous and threatening things.
Thinking of all this, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s tears couldn¡¯t help but fall.
Beforeing here, Xia Jin didn¡¯t want Xia Yun Xi toe. He personally wrote a document to set her and Feng Cang¡¯s marriage through Wanyan Lie. Xia Yun Xi only needed to wait for the day of marriage. However, Xia Yun Xi rejected Xia Jin¡¯s suggestion on the spot.
Firstly, it was because she didn¡¯t see Feng Cang for ten years. She had finally be an adult. Xia Yun Xi wanted to see Feng Cang immediately. Secondly, inside Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart, there was a small pride. She didn¡¯t want to use Xia Jin¡¯s rtion to force Feng Cang to marry her under pressure. She was confident in herself. Xia Yun Xi wanted to use her own efforts to let Feng Cang fall in love with her and marry her willingly.
However, Xia Yun Xi had never thought that the difference between a dream and the reality would be so big.
No matter how intoxicated and immersed in the beautiful fantasies she was, the reality was like a p in her face, mercilessly hitting her and making her get a nosebleed. No need to mention, fooling around with Feng Cang. She had been here for so long, yet she still hadn¡¯t seen Feng Cang¡¯s face. How can she fool around? Even if she wanted to **, she didn¡¯t have a partner, ah!
Although she¡¯d begged Wanyan Lie and entered the wangfu as she¡¯d wished, but Feng Cang eluded her like a disease. She advanced, he retreated. She chased, he avoided. There was no intersection, let alone having the time to seize Feng Cang¡¯s heart.
Xia Yun Xi began to realise that Feng Cang didn¡¯t like her. Although she wanted to believe that Wanyan Kang ying dirty tricks in front of Feng Cang was the cause and use this excuse tofort herself on why Feng Cang alienated himself from her, but the truth was ced in front of her. She wasn¡¯t a fool.
¡°Hong Ye, what to do? Feng Cang doesn¡¯t like me!¡± Xia Yun Xi¡¯s tears were like pearls and umted at the corners of her eyes. She didn¡¯t know what she had done wrong. She¡¯d only fallen in love with Feng Cang and wanted to be his bride.
He wasn¡¯t married, she wasn¡¯t married; wasn¡¯t this the perfect thing?! Why did Feng Cang use such ways to reject her? Could it be that she¡¯s not good enough?!
Xia Yun Xi cried. Hong Ye also became anxious. After thinking for a good moment, Hong Ye moved closer to Xia Yun Xi, ¡°Princess, this ve has a n. This ve just doesn¡¯t know if princess is willing to do so...¡±
¡°What kind of n?¡± The moment she heard that Hong Ye had a n, Xia Yun Xi quickly looked at her, ¡°As long as I can make my wishe true, I am willing to do anything!¡±
¡°Princess, why don¡¯t you pretend to be sick?! If the imperial physician came, you can argue noisily that you have a headache and then you pretend to be on the point of death and want to see Nan Lin wang once...,¡± While saying this, Hong Ye also felt that this n was a bit too dramatic. She quickly added, ¡°This ve doesn¡¯t have the meaning of cursing you!¡±
Xia Yun Xi was now giving medicine to a dead horse. Regardless of what she needed to do, as long as it make Feng Cange see her, she was willing to try. After thinking for a moment about this scheme Hong Ye proposed, she immediately nodded.
Give medicine to a dead horse: trying everything in a desperate situation
¡°Hong Ye, go into the pce to see your majesty. Say, I¡¯m about to die...,¡± Xia Yun Xi whispered a few words in Hong Ye¡¯s ear. Hong Ye quickly nodded. After Xia Yun Xi prepared everything, Hong Ye hurried to the pce.
The moment he heard that Dong Lu¡¯s princess was about to die at Nan Lin wangfu, Wanyan Lie became startled, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s the matter with princess?¡±
Wanyan Lie was worried and fell into Hong Ye¡¯ trap. Beforeing, she¡¯d mercilessly pinched her legs twice and squeezed out tears. Now, that just came in handy, ¡°This ve also doesn¡¯t know. In the morning, princess was well. This ve doesn¡¯t know why, but in the afternoon, she felt pain in her chest and now she has fainted!¡±
Naturally, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t want Xia Yun Xi to die at Bei Zhou. He immediately sent the imperial physician to Nan Lin wangfu. He also followed them.
Inside Guanyu building¡¯s quarter, Xia Yun Xi was very pale-faced and her lips were a scary red. ¡°Your majesty, am, am I about to die?¡±
While talking, tears fell out. Hong Ye went forward to wipe them for her. Her mouth was crying, ¡°Princess, you won¡¯t die! Your majesty would definitely let people cure you!¡±
Originally, Wanyan Lie really thought that something had happened to Xia Yun Xi. Now, after seeing her appearance, Wanyan Lie knew that she was pretending to be sick. Being lied to was not a very good feeling, but Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t say anything. He still continued tofort her and let the imperial physician give Xia Yun Xia a check-up.
The old imperial physician put his hand across a gold muslin on Xia Yun Xi¡¯s left hand. He closed his eyes, paused for a long moment and also changed hands. Then, he stood up.
¡°Answering emperor, princess is not limatized!¡±
The old imperial physician¡¯s words almost made Wanyan Lieugh out loud. This old guy, he¡¯d stayed in the imperial hospital for too long. He knew how to assess the situation. Presumably, he also saw that nothing was wrong with Xia Yun Xi, but he couldn¡¯t unmask her lie. He had to make up such an ¡®illness¡¯!
¡°Not limatized?¡± Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t satisfied with this answer. She immediately began to shout, ¡°Aiyo. My head hurts so much. My chest also hurts badly! I certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to endure for much longer.¡±
Xia Yun Xi was clearly acting shamelessly, but Wanyan Lei also had no way out. He had also heard about the recent gossip. Outsiders were rumoring that Feng Cang lived at Wanyan Kang¡¯s. Only he knew that Feng Cang snuck out every night to Long Autumn pce.
Now, Xia Yun Xi was pretending to be sick like this, it was nothing more than wanting to force Feng Cang to appear. Thisss wanted to trick him, but she was still inexperienced.
¡°Feng Cang¡¯s Jin Mo¡¯s medical skills are high. Zhen3 wants to let hime check princess!¡±
When she heard that it was just letting Jin Moe and not Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi shouted louder. Her hand clutched her chest and pretended like she couldn¡¯t breathe. She acting like this let the disgust Wanyan Lie had for her be stronger.
¡°Is not that princess got love-sickness, right?!¡±
Just one sentence revealed Xia Yun Xi¡¯s thoughts. Hearing Wanyan Lie say that, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face immediately became red. Now, her chest and head didn¡¯t ache. She lifted the quilt and came out of bed. She knelt in front of Wanyan Lie.
¡°Since your majesty already knows, then I won¡¯t hide it from your majesty anymore...,¡± She didn¡¯t evenplete two sentences, when Xia Yun Xi began to cry. Wanyan Lie looked at her tears. He frowned even more.
Xia Yun Xi rambled a lot. It was nothing more than how much she liked Feng Cang and that aside from Feng Cang, she wouldn¡¯t fall in love with another person. If she couldn¡¯t be Feng Cang¡¯s bride, she would rather be a nun!
Xia Yun Xi cried and threw a tantrum. However, she forgot that these tricks of women would only be effective when using it in front of the man who loves them. Putting it on another person, no one would give you face.
¡°Zhen understands princess¡¯s meaning. Princess likes Cang er4. It is his blessing. After two days, it would be the pce banquet. Princess could prepare very well! Zhen still needs to look over documents. Zhen will go first.¡±
After leaving this sentence, Wanyan Lie left Guanyu building. Looking at Wanyan Lie¡¯s departing back, Xia Yun Xi was somewhat stupefied. What was this situation? ording tomon sense, Wanyan Lie should immediately send a decree to make Feng Cange to her. How could he just pat his butt and leave?
¡°Prin-, princess, now what should we do?¡± Hong Ye was also dumbfounded. Originally, they thought that this approach would work. They didn¡¯t expect that Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor wouldn¡¯t fall for this. Then,eae what to do?
¡®Pa, pa...¡¯ Hong Ye had just finished speaking, when Xia Yun Xi gave her two ps. ¡°All this was because of you had thought of such a silly idea! My face ispletely lost! What could we do more? We could only wait till the pce banquet!¡±
Don¡¯t know who spread the rumor that Xia Yun Xi got love-sickness. For some time, Xia Yun Xi became the joke of the citizens of the capital. A country¡¯s princess acting so cheap was the first and thest.
Fortunately, Xia Yun Xi was at wangfu and didn¡¯t hear these rumors. Hong Ye also didn¡¯t dare to let Xia Yun Xi know lest to let herself be Xia Yun Xi¡¯s punching bag.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the pce banquet arrived.
The cold winter had passed. The spring was back on earth. All things recovered and everywhere was green. Yan capital was thriving.
Early in the morning, Xia Yun Xi woke up and let Hong Ye help her dress up. After thinking calmly this time, Xia Yun Xi finally understood Feng Cang¡¯s meaning. He didn¡¯t like to see her. No matter how petty and low she put herself, he wouldn¡¯t give her any chance.
Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t ept it. She felt that nothing was wrong with her. Why didn¡¯t Feng Cang want to give her a chance? Could it be that there¡¯s another person in Feng Cang¡¯s heart? Or was it that he had heard some rumors? In short, if she couldn¡¯t see Feng Cang and find out the reason, Xia Yun Xi wouldn¡¯t give up. Let her give up on the man she loved for ten years, she wasn¡¯t willing!
¡°Hong Ye, did you already prepare the things?¡± Xia Yun Xi faced the mirror and checked her make-up once again. She added one more brush to the eye, before she was satisfied.
¡°Princess, everything is ready!¡± Hong Ye handed a pearl hairpin and a thing wrapped in paper to Xia Yun Xi.
From the outside, there was nothing wrong with this pearl hairpin. Xia Yun Xi turned the pearl on the hairpin and took it out. It turned out that there was an empty space inside the hairpin. ¡°Put the drug inside. Be more careful!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Hong Ye carefully opened the package. Inside it was a thickyer of white powder. She took a small brush and swept a bit into the hairpin. Then, she turned the pearl back in its ce and put the hairpin in Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hair.
¡°Princess, do you really want to do this...¡±
Hong Ye had a bad premonition. She felt that Xia Yun Xi¡¯s idea of giving Feng Cang the drug was a dangerous thing. If by chance they were found out, then what should they do? By then, the news that, in order to marry Feng Cang, Dong Lu¡¯s princess had drugged him, would spread out. Could Xia Yun Xi continue to live, ah?!
Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t take Hong Ye¡¯s worry seriously. She had gone mad from Feng Cang¡¯s continuous alienation and indifference! She couldn¡¯t wait a moment more!
Beforeing, Xia Yun Xi told everyone proudly at Dong Lu¡¯s pce that she hade here to be Nan Lin wangfei,5 to be Feng Cang¡¯s wangfei. If this time, she was rejected by Feng Cang and needed to go back dejectedly; by then, wouldn¡¯t she be made into a joke by those snobbish people? Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t want it to be like that!
Even if she knew that this was risky and an approach born out of desperation, but Xia Yun Xi still wanted to take the risk.
What thing you do in this world isn¡¯t a gamble? She was gambling her happiness, gambling her future. What¡¯s wrong with it?! Didn¡¯t consort mother use this method and became emperor father¡¯s pampered consort? Even if Feng Cang didn¡¯t love her, it¡¯s enough that she loves him. When she bes Nan Lin wangfei, she would definitely make Feng Cang fall in love with her.
With the determination to win, Xia Yun Xi went into the pce. She had gone there early. Although many officials hade with their wives to the location, but the major characters still hadn¡¯t arrived. Some maids led Xia Yun Xi to Taiji hall. However, she felt very bored. She didn¡¯t want to sit there and just wait. So, she walked around.
After going a full circle, Xia Yun Xi discovered that the way those nobledies looked at her was a bit different. Thosedies grouped together in groups of three to four people. When they saw Xia Yun Xi, their looks were strange as if they were saying, look, that¡¯s Dong Lu¡¯s princess who¡¯d chased a man all the way to their Yan capital.
Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t a fool. How could she not understand the gazes of those women? It was just, here was Bei Zhou. She could only endure! Humph! Xia Yun Xi red fiercely at those women once. When I be Nan Lin wangfei, I will let you see!
Because empress Li Bing was imprisoned, the one who¡¯d followed Wanyan Lie to these sorts of banquets was consort De, Lin Ke Xin. It could be said that Lin Ke Xin had everything going her way after the crown prince was disposed and the empress was imprisoned. Wanyan Lie let her oversee the harem. Although she didn¡¯t have the phoenix seal, but Lin Ke Xin¡¯s power was almost the same as the empress¡¯s.
Now, the most important thing for Lin Ke Xin was to let Wanyan Yi be the crown prince smoothly. The day Wanyan Yi bes the crown prince is the day Li Bing would be disposed and she would be the empress. She wanted this position of empress for a long time. Now, it was right in front of her eyes, how could she give up?
These days, Wanyan Yi listened to her and had been going to Long Autumn pce. It was just, every time, either Feng Cang was there or Wanyan Kang was there. He didn¡¯t have any time to be alone with Murong Qi Qi.
Although the result was a bit inconsistent with what Lin Ke Xin had expected, but at least, she made a momentum. Plus, the fact that she¡¯d spread some rumors in the pce, now many people thought highly of Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi. This made Lin Ke Xin feel quite satisfied. Next, it¡¯s on today....
Lin Ke Xin sat next to Wanyan Lie. Her mood was very good. Without the empress, she sat like the mistress of this pce. Her every gesture was excellent.
The eunuch shouted, ¡°Audience!¡±, and everyone who would participate in the pce banquet arrived.
When Ming Yue Cheng arrived at the scene, the hearts of those women present couldn¡¯t help but ripple.
He was dressed in luxurious purple clothes. On his waist, a gold belt was buckled. From head to toe, aside from the gold belt, there was no extra decoration. This new emperor of Nan Feng appeared rxed. There was clear carelessness in his beautiful eyes. His thick hair was only tied with an amethyst hairpin. On his feet turned out to be a pair of clogs.
¡®Ka...ka...¡¯ Ming Yue Chen¡¯s steps were not fast nor slow. The clogs knocked on the marble floor and issued a clear sound. Sound after sound, it beat on the people¡¯s heart.
Ming Yue Cheng went to his seat and sat down. His gaze swept once over the crowd, but he didn¡¯t see Murong Qi Qi. It seemed that she hadn¡¯t arrived yet.
Just as Ming Yue Cheng was thinking about Murong Qi Qi, a ¡°Nan Lin wang arrived! Princess Zhen Guo arrived!¡± spread to his ears. Murong Qi Qi arrived! Hearing this, Ming Yue Cheng revealed an excellent smile. She had finallye...
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
4. Er: term of endearment
5. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank

Chapter 149 (Part 2) Shameless couple
At this point, it was like there was a big hand holding Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart in her chest, making her breathe unevenly. Unable to tear her eyes away, she stared at the entrance of the hall. She wanted to know what Feng Cang looked like now.
The sunlight sprinkled inside from the entrance and covered the hall with ayer of golden light.
Inside the golden light, a pair of heavenly people moved closer and closer. The man was dressed in a graceful white. His appearance was like a painting. The girl was in warm red and smiled like a flower.
¡®Boom, boom, boom...¡¯ Seeing Feng Cang once again, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart started beating very fast. It¡¯s him! It¡¯s really him! Xia Yun Xi was so excited that tears almost came out. After so many years, he had be mature. From an elegant young master, he¡¯d turned into a devilishly beautiful man. However, his facial features remained the same. Although he looked a lot colder, but it let him gain ayer of masculinity.
Ten years, ah! Xia Yun Xi bit her lips and forced her tears back. The man she¡¯d loved for ten years has finally appeared.
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression was no better than Xia Yun Xi¡¯s. When he saw the appearance of Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hand trembled once. A bit of the wine in the cup spilled onto the table.
She is actually him? Only today, did Ming Yue Cheng realise that Murong Qi Qi was also Guanghua gongzi;1 the person who¡¯de to find him, partnered with him in order to win Nan Feng¡¯s throne.
After getting the throne, Ming Yue Cheng had contacted the people of Jue Se Fang many times, wanting to see Guanghua gongzi and to show him his gratitude in person. However, the shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang said that gongzi wasn¡¯t in Nan Feng and that gongzi was very busy. Now, Ming Yue Cheng finally understood what exactly Guanghua gongzi was busy with.
Ming Yue Cheng couldn¡¯t describe his inner thoughts. All theplex feelings poured into his heart. This woman had deceived him so bitterly! He¡¯d searched everywhere for Guanghua gongzi, wanting to express his gratitude. However, this woman went to Bei Zhou and experienced so many things.
If he hadn¡¯te personally this time, then perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have known the truth.
No wonder he¡¯d felt that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were beautiful and also wondered why someone with such beautiful eyes could look so ordinary. Now, he finally understood. This girl used an ordinary face mask and deceived everyone. It was just, her ordinary face already made people mesmerized. Now that she¡¯d changed into a heavenly appearance; presumably, even more people would fall for her!
¡°Uncle!¡± Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi bowed at the same time to Wanyan Lie. Just now, when the two had entered together, Wanyan Lie lost his soul for a moment. They¡¯re really a match! If these two people really could be together, how great would that be?!
Wanyan Lie let the person in ck continue to ¡®monitor¡¯ Long Autumn pce. After knowing that Feng Cang had slept every night at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart finally felt at ease. Before, he was worried that these siblings would put down this rtionship because of their blood ties. Now, it seemed that,pared to them, he was the coward. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t get happiness...
¡°You¡¯re all here. Take your ce!¡±
The banquet began. Songs and dance came up. Delicious food was also ced in front of everyone by the pce maids.
After Ming Yue Cheng looked at Murong Qi Qi, he couldn¡¯t help but look at the man at her side. Don¡¯t know why, Ming Yue Cheng had an intuition. He discovered that Murong Qi Qi treated Feng Cang differentlypared to the others. At least, the feelings in their eyes weren¡¯t as simple as that of siblings.
The moment he looked at Feng Cang, Ming Yue Cheng frowned. This man has a problem!
Before, between the eyebrows of Wanyan Lie, Ming Yue Cheng had seen that there¡¯s a gu in his body. At this time, on Feng Cang¡¯s face, he saw that same situation once again. Between Feng Cang¡¯s eyebrows, there was a touch of back. Ordinary people couldn¡¯t see this touch of ck. It¡¯s just, Ming Yue Cheng had been contact with gu ever since he¡¯s young. That¡¯s why he had a deep understanding of gu.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s color was a light ck. Feng Cang¡¯s color waspletely ck. It seemed that Feng Cang had the gu for many years.
Although Feng Cang looked no different from an ordinary person, but it couldn¡¯t change the fact that he carried the gu for many years. The poison of the gu was already pure ck. If the gu was still not taken out, then if the gu acted on the person who¡¯d manipted the gu, Feng Cang would stop breathing and die.
It¡¯s just, why would Feng Cang be infected with the gu? This question had been bothering Ming Yue Cheng.
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s birth mother Miao Chu Yun was an expert at gu and was also a member of Tibetan tribe. However, Miao Chu Yun also once told him, if there¡¯s no hatred, members of Tibetan tribe wouldn¡¯t have put gu in ordinary people because gu was an organism that¡¯s difficult to manipte. If the gu wasn¡¯t manipted well, it might bite back at the person who used the gu. Besides, using gu to harm a human life was a very negative thing. So, the person who put the gu in someone else would also not have a long life.
The Tibetan people had been living at the south of Nan Feng. They lived in a tribal form. Under normal circumstances, the Tibetan people wouldn¡¯t leave their homnd. So where did the gu on Feng Cang and Wanyan Lie came from? Who had such a big gut to put gu on Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor and Nan Lin wang? What motive did the person who used the gu had?
Ming Yue Cheng frowned. His gaze had been on Feng Cang, making Murong Qi Qi sense something strange. She looked around carefully, and discovered that Ming Yue Cheng was indeed staring at Feng Cang. Besides, he was staring at the area between the eyebrows. Could it be that there was something between Feng Cang¡¯s eyebrows? Murong Qi Qi turned her head and also looked at the area between Feng Cang¡¯s eyebrows.
There was a touch of ck. Murong Qi Qi knew that this was the performance of gu. It¡¯s just, why would Ming Yue Cheng stare at that area? Could it be that he knew something? Speaking of this, in this continent, the people who knew how to use gu were all in Nan Feng. Was it that Ming Yue Cheng had a way to lift the gu?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attention moved between Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Cang. If it wasn¡¯t because they were at a pce banquet, she would certainly have gone to see Ming Yue Cheng personally and ask him about the situation clearly. If Ming Yue Cheng truly had a way to remove the gu poison on Feng Cang¡¯s body, then it would be very great!
¡°Could it be that Qing Qing isparing me and Ming Yue Cheng to see who is better?¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi look at Ming Yue Cheng, Feng Cang was a bit jealous. If this wasn¡¯t a public asion; if in front of everyone, they weren¡¯t siblings, then he would¡¯ve put his hand on her waist and interrogate why she was looking at Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Look at you...,¡± Hearing the strong jealousy in Feng Cang¡¯s words, Murong Qi Qi chuckled. Her small hand pulled Feng Cang¡¯s sleeve under the table, ¡°Obviously, it was Ming Yue Cheng who had been staring at you, making me jealous. Now, you turned it over to me! Quickly confess, what kind of rtionship is there between you and Ming Yue Cheng which shouldn¡¯t be known to the public? Why was he looking at you? Besides, it was gazing at the area between your eyebrows?
After Murong Qi Qi said this, Feng Cang immediately understood her meaning. Ming Yue Cheng could see that there was gu poison in his body. Could it be that he had a way to cure it? It¡¯s just, when he thought that Ming Yue Cheng hade this time to ask for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand, Feng Cang¡¯s expression sank.
If Ming Yue Cheng decided to use the cure of the gu poison as an exchange to get Murong Qi Qi, he wouldn¡¯t agree.
How could Murong Qi Qi not know what Feng Cang was thinking? This man, ah, really eating vinegar incessantly! Could it be that she¡¯s like the popr apricot? ¡°I¡¯ve met Ming Yue Cheng before. He¡¯s not a nasty person.¡±
Murong Qi Qi spoke for Ming Yue Cheng. Feng Cang got another burst of jealousy, ¡°Qing Qing, you actually have contact with Ming Yue Cheng. Why don¡¯t I know?!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang pout like a child, Murong Qi Qi smiled, ¡°Cang, could it be that you don¡¯t know the matter of Guanghua gongzi and Ming Yue Cheng partnering up? Otherwise, how could I¡¯ve have gotten the special ess of Nan four states!¡±
¡°So, it was like that!¡± Feng Cang nodded. Moyu upied the four Nan states. Murong Qi Qi was Guanghua gongzi. He immediately understood after pulling strings together. This woman, ah! She inadvertently overturned the regime of Nan Feng. He didn¡¯t even know what to say about her!
¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯ll give you the special ess of Bei four states. You and Ming Yue Cheng break off your contact, alright?¡± Feng Cang began to retreat by advancing. Under the table, he grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. His fingertips made circles on her palm, ¡°You see, the territory of Bei four states is also very big. No matter what you do, I¡¯ll support you. Don¡¯te in contact with him anymore!¡±
¡°Cang, are you jealous?¡±
¡°He wants to marry you and let you be Nan Feng¡¯s empress. How could I not be jealous?! Qing Qing, he isn¡¯t better than me, really!¡±
Feng Cang acting spoiled made Murong Qi Qi want to pinch his face. However, in public, she needed to maintain her image. ¡°You, ah, can be hundred twenty percent at ease! I don¡¯t have anything with Ming Yue Cheng! Besides, Ming Yue Cheng is a gentleman. When I make things clear to him, he would give up!¡±
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s interaction fell into the eyes of Xia Yun Xi. This was an irony.
No wonder Feng Cang dodged her at every turn. It seems that feelings have developed between these siblings!
Originally, Murong Qi Qi was a princess who¡¯de for a marriage alliance and it was Feng Cang who personally went to fetch her. Perhaps these two people had already bred fondness out of familiarity. Later, because of their rtion as siblings, they had been forced to separate. However, the feelings were still there. So, despite the ethical code, they¡¯ve maintained an amorous rtionship! Really shameless!
Naturally, the one Xia Yun Xi scolded was Murong Qi Qi. Of course, she wouldn¡¯t admonish Feng Cang. In Xia Yun Xi¡¯s heart, everything about Feng Cang was great. Therefore, the problem definitely lied with Murong Qi Qi. It was this woman who¡¯d seduced Feng Cang, regardless of shame. Really hateful!
Xia Yun Xi finally found out the reason why Feng Cang was cold to her. After knowing the reason, she thought about how to take the appropriate steps to shift Feng Cang¡¯s attention from Murong Qi Qi to her. She didn¡¯t want to lose to Murong Qi Qi!
Xia Yun Xi was thinking about how to deal with Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Yi was also thinking about Murong Qi Qi. Yesterday, he had discussed again and again with Lin Ke Xin. The two felt that uncooked rice turned to cooked rice was the best method. This was the most secure way. He couldn¡¯t afford to lose. So, even if he needed to use underhanded ways, he must also win!
The songs and dance came one after another. The atmosphere of the ce turned livelier. Wanyan Lie ruled the country a bit ck. That¡¯s why the officials did not act so cautiously. Now, they had begun to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drunk big sses of wine. There were people who¡¯d boxed with the wine and also people who¡¯d gotten up to toast with each other.
The scene turned even more vibrant. Seeing this, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. This was an opportunity! As Xia Yun Xi was thinking, her hand touched the hairpin on her head. Taking advantage of when others didn¡¯t pay her any attention, Xia Yun Xi took down the hairpin. She turned the pearl and quickly poured the powder in her own jar of wine. Then, she turned the hairpin back to its original form and inserted it in her hair.
Had to say, Xia Yun Xi and Wanyan Yi were a perfect match. She intended to take advantage of this golden opportunity. Wanyan Yi was also thinking like this! However, he had hidden the drug in the long nails of his little finger on the right hand. Wanyan Yi¡¯s little finger just gently knocked on the edge of the jar. This powder went into the jar and became one with the wine.
Xia Yun Xi and Wanyan Yi almost got up at the same time. They came together to Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. Seeing the two suddenly appeared dark clouds, Murong Qi Qi raised her head. With one look, she saw two people she disliked the most. The two had appeared at the same time as if they¡¯d agreed on it. Really connected on a deep level with each other.
¡°Little cousin sister, don¡¯t know if I have this honor to treat you to a cup of wine!¡± Wanyan Yi raised the jar in his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
¡°Wangye,2 can I treat you to a cup of wine?¡± At a side, Xia Yun Xi also said the same.
Really a match, ah! Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang exchanged a nce. With one look, you would know that the appearance of these two wouldn¡¯t bear anything good. It was just, in front of everyone, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t object. They stood up.
¡°Wangye, I will pour wine for you.¡± Seeing Feng Cang being so willing, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s beautiful eyes betrayed her inner thoughts. She picked up Feng Cang¡¯s cup and slowly poured a cup of wine. When she smelled the fragrance of the wine that¡¯d drifted over, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned cold.
Shameless to the extreme! In this world, there was actually such a shameless woman. Putting drugs in the wine to seduce men. Really shameless! Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand pulled Feng Cang¡¯s sleeve slightly and gave him a reminder.
How could Feng Cang not know Murong Qi Qi? They had being getting along well for a long time now. Every move and gaze of hers, he knew what they meant. Now, Murong Qi Qi pulling at his sleeve after Xia Yun Xi had poured wine for him. It was obviously telling him that there was a problem with this wine!
At this side, Wanyan Yi also poured wine for Murong Qi Qi. After seeing the wine Wanyan Yi had poured, Murong Qi Qi sneered. This pair of woman and man were both as cheap! One wanted to drug Feng Cang; the other wanted to drug her. They calcted very well, ah!
¡°Little cousin sister, please!¡± Wanyan Yi used his best smile to face Murong Qi Qi. As long as this matter was sessful, he would be Bei Zhou¡¯s crown prince. This world would be his!
¡°Haha...,¡± Murong Qi Qiughed softly. Her eyes had been staring at Wanyan Yi¡¯s eyes, ¡°Cousin brother, thank you...¡±
These sentences were said floatingly and slowly as if it had magic. When facing with Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Yi had a sense of being absent-minded. In a moment, his mind went nk and he didn¡¯t know what to think anymore. By the time Wanyan Yi woke up, Murong Qi Qi had already drunk the wine and showed him the empty cup.
¡°Cousin brother, it¡¯s your turn!¡±
¡°Good, good! I¡¯ll drink!¡± Wanyan Yi raised his head. A cup of wine went into his stomach. Looking at the wine on his mouth, the corners of Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mouth went up.
Murong Qi Qi had drunk the wine. Xia Yun Xi also looked at Feng Cang eagerly, ¡°Wangye, I¡¯ve always admired you. This cup of wine is my respect to you!¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s meaning was very obvious. Feng Cang must drink this wine.
¡°Princess, you being like this is unfriendly. You only treated bengong¡¯s3 big brother and didn¡¯t treat bengong. Could it be that you look down on bengong?¡± Murong Qi Qi came over. Her eyes were smiling while she looked at Xia Yun Xi.
She didn¡¯t know why, but when facing Murong Qi Qi, Xia Yun Xi felt that her heart was beating twice as fast. When she drew closer, Murong Qi Qiughed, ¡°Princess Yun, bengong was joking with you! I won¡¯t bother you (two) anymore! You drink!¡±
When she looked again, Feng Cang had already poured the wine into his mouth. Seeing Feng Cang drink the wine she¡¯d poured, Xia Yun Xi felt that happiness was waving at her. Everything had gone ording to her n. It seemed that heaven was helping her.
Wanyan Yi and Xia Yun Xi were both immersed in their own thoughts and went back to their seats. Xia Yun Xi was very happy. She nned to escort Feng Cang out when the drug red up in Feng Cang¡¯s body. Then...hey, hey, when the matter is done, she would be Nan Lin wangfei.4
Thinking a bit differently from Xia Yun Xi, although Wanyan Yi felt that he was one step closer to victory, but after seeing Xia Yun Xi toast Feng Cang just now, he keenly sensed the strangeness in this woman. The thought that Xia Yun Xi might have used the same method as him to deal with Feng Cang, made a knot swell in his heart.
1. Gongzi: young master
2. Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
3. Bengong: this pce/ I, used by females of the imperial family
4. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
Chapter 150 (Part 1) The horror scene at the imperial garden
Chapter 150 (Part 1) The horror scene at the imperial garden
One side was the throne that Wanyan Yi wanted. The other side was the woman he cared about.
Wanyan Yi already knew how to choose between the two. He needed to get Murong Qi Qi and then through Murong Qi Qi be the crown prince. However, why did his heart felt sour after seeing Xia Yun Xi¡¯s behavior?! He wasn¡¯t willing to see the woman he loves be another¡¯s woman with his own eyes. Why couldn¡¯t he get the country and the beauty at the same time?!
Thinking till here, Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart suddenly moved. That¡¯s right, ah! He must have both the country and the beauty! What between the fish and the bear¡¯s paw, you can have only one. He didn¡¯t believe it. He wanted both!
On the scene, the songs and dances were soaring. The dancers twisted and turned their waists. Coupled with wonderful music, they attracted everyone¡¯s eyes. No one noticed people left their seats and no one noticed what they went to do after leaving their seats.
¡°Cang, the good y is about to begin.¡± Murong Qi Qi sipped wine. It was still such wine that had a good taste.
¡°What did Qing Qing do to them? Why was it like these two people lost their souls just now? They actually took the wine in our hands and drank it?¡± The thought of just now, Wanyan Yi and Xia Yun Xi took the wine in their hands and drank the wine with the drug, Feng Cang felt that Murong Qi Qi was very mystical.
She only just looked at the other party¡¯s eyes once and was able to exchange the drugged wine with the other party. What was this trick called? Could it also be a trick from Moyu?
¡°Mysteries of the heaven must not be revealed!¡± Murong Qi Qi smiled slightly and continued to sip wine, ¡°These two people calcted us like that, why don¡¯t I help their aim?!¡±
¡°Haha...,¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say, Feng Cang also didn¡¯t continue to ask. He didn¡¯t know what will happenter. Feng Cang intended on enjoying it with Murong Qi Qi!
While Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang were talking, Ming Yue Cheng stepped on his clogs and came over. He didn¡¯t bother about trifles and sat next to Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Should I call you Guanghua gongzi now or call you princess Zheng Guo?¡±
Staring at this dream-like face, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes were slightly drunk. In his hand, he held a wine cup. He asked this, Murong Qi Qi chuckled and poured wine for Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°No matter if it¡¯s Guanghua gongzi or princess Zhen Guo, aren¡¯t they still me?¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer made Ming Yue Chengugh heartily. Afterughing, he gulped the wine down at once, ¡°Feng Qi Qi, I like you! Do you still remember the things I said on the day you left Xi Liang?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words let Murong Qi Qi remember the time when she left, this person chased after her and handed her a wine jar. It was just, the youth was in love, but the girl didn¡¯t have the heart.
¡°Thank you for your love...I already have someone I love. Presumably, I would let you go back alone!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words let Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s beautiful eyes turn dark. Sure enough...
¡°Is it that I camete?¡± Ming Yue Cheng looked under the table at Feng Cang¡¯s hand that held Murong Qi Qi tightly. His voice had a bitter taste, ¡°If I dealt sooner with the matters of Nan Feng, would I not have missed this love?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words fell on Feng Cang¡¯s ears. Although, he was jealous, but it also let Feng Cang got to know this man. Sure enough, it was as Murong Qi Qi said. He¡¯s a straightforward and upright person. Daring to speak like this with Murong Qi Qi in front of him (FC), he (MYC) must be a magnanimous gentleman.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, we¡¯re still friends!¡± Murong Qi Qi once again filled Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s cup with wine, ¡°This has nothing to do with sooner orter. It was only, at the right time, I met the right person. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong...¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words were full of the taste of Buddha¡¯s meditation. Ming Yue Cheng stared at her for a long time. He wanted to see a glimmer of hope from this woman¡¯s eyes. So, he could have a reason to persist. However, that piece of clearke was clean through the bottom. It didn¡¯t have the thing Ming Yue Cheng wanted.
¡°I understand.¡± Ming Yue Cheng sighed. The gaze he looked at Murong Qi Qi with was full of fondness and reluctance to part with (her). Perhaps, Murong Qi Qi was right. He didn¡¯tete. It was just that they didn¡¯t have the fate to continue.
However, he wasn¡¯t resigned to let go. But, after seeing Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s intertwined finger, he also understood. The two used action to show their attitude. A melon broken off the vine by force won¡¯t taste sweet. A forced rtionship is not love. He understood this principle.
A melon broken off the vine by force won¡¯t taste sweet: if it¡¯s not meant to be, it¡¯s no use trying to force it to happen
¡°Feng Qi Qi, if one day, he betrays you, my Nan Feng¡¯s door will always be open for you. Besides, my position of empress would always be yours!¡±
After throwing these words, Ming Yue Cheng once again drank the wine in the cup at once. He looked at Feng Cang, ¡°Remember, if you betray her, even if it¡¯s against her wishes, I will take her away and take good care of her!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you have such a chance.¡±
¡°Ha, then it¡¯s the best!¡± Ming Yue Cheng stood up and looked once more at Murong Qi Qi. He revealed a bright smile, ¡°Qi Qi, you must be happy, yo!¡±
After saying that, Ming Yue Cheng turned. He left the sight of the two people without turning back.
This person made Feng Cang feel surprised. He also understood a bit about the matters of Ming Yue Cheng. This man is not someone without a particr talent. Now, he was able to be the new emperor of Nan Feng, he also suffered greatly and experienced a lot of hardships. He gave up on Murong Qi Qi so ¡®easily¡¯ made Feng Cang in disbelief. He thought that Ming Yue Cheng would fight at least a bit more.
¡°He¡¯s a good man!¡± After being silent for a while, Feng Cang gave Ming Yue Cheng a clear evaluation.
¡°Mm! Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have helped him!¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t have any feelings towards Ming Yue Cheng. She only felt that this man endured humiliation as part of an important mission. He was worthy of admiration. As for developing feelings with him, she never thought about such a thing. Now, she already has Feng Cang. Her eyes, her heart, couldn¡¯t tolerate anyone else.
¡°He is being like this made me feel a pressure I never felt before. It seemed that I must be good to you. Qing Qing gave up on Nan Feng¡¯s position of empress and choose to be with me...¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of smiles. The gaze he looked at Murong Qi Q also became more affectionate, ¡°This man said to let go, but in fact he¡¯s waiting for me to ck off and gave him the opportunity that he can exploit. This advancing by retreating would be great when used in the military, but it would not be any use on me. Because, I will never give him such an opportunity! Let his position of empress stay empty forever!¡±
¡°You, ah. Are you so sure that I¡¯m dead set on you?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s you who is sure of me...¡±
The two were affectionate, didn¡¯t pay attention to the scene and also didn¡¯t know when the dancers had left. When they recovered their posture, in the center stood two people. To be exact, it was one person standing. The other sat in a wheelchair.
Murong Qi Qi knew one of them. It was Jia Lan who she saw on the tournament of the four countries. As for the other one, he introduced himself, ¡°I¡¯m the 19th generation descendant of Peni Ind and the eldest disciple Misha. He¡¯s my junior brother Jia Lan.¡±
It turned out that these two people were from Peni Ind! When the people heard that they were rted to Peni Ind, they couldn¡¯t help but look at the two men.
Jia Lan was still dressed elegantly in blue and Misha was only dressed in brown colored rough clothes. However, these brown clothes on his body didn¡¯t diminish his aura. Instead it gave him an aura of an immortal scattered outside of the world.
Different from the masculinity of Jia Lan, Misha looked like a young cute boy. Fair, smooth and tender skin, handsome and slender eyebrows, deep and smiling eyes, pink and soft lips: he was a hundred percent living cute young boy.
Wanyan Lie was a bit surprised that Peni Ind¡¯s people came to Bei Zhou, ¡°Don¡¯t know why the two of you came to our country?¡±
¡°I came to find a person!¡± Misha¡¯s voice was also very youthful. Coupled with that cute face of his, he was very lovable. There was a feeling suitable for young and old.
¡°Oh, who is the person young master Misha is looking for?¡±
¡°Murong Qing Lian!¡±
Hearing this name, Wanyan Lie froze for a moment. This name sounded very familiar, but he didn¡¯t remember where he had heard it. Jing De saw that Wanyan Lie had long forgotten about Murong Qing Lian, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear. Only now did Wanyan Lie remember that Murong Qing Lian was the woman from the East pce and had been punished by him. He also didn¡¯t know, a hundred times every day for so long, if she was still alive.
¡°Murong Qing Lianmitted a crime and had been imprisoned by zhen in the prison.¡±
The moment he heard that Murong Qing Lian was kept in a prison, Misha¡¯s mood obviously got emotional. Both hands held the handle of the wheelchair. If it wasn¡¯t because there was a problem with his legs, he would¡¯ve certainly got up from excitement, ¡°Your majesty, what crime did Murong Qing Lianmit? She once showed me grace. So, can I ask your majesty to have mercy and sell a favor to me?¡±
¡°This...¡±
To Wanyan Lie, Murong Qing Lian was a little ant who didn¡¯t have any weight. Now, Peni Ind¡¯s eldest disciple said that there was some rtion between them, made Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t help but calcte in his heart. Should he let Murong Qing Lian go and give Misha face?
¡°Your majesty, I came all the way just to thank this savior. If she did anything wrong, I¡¯m willing to bear it for her. Asking your majesty to please be generous and let her go. Misha would be very grateful.¡±
Misha pped his hands. Immediately, two people carried two wooden boxes over. Opened it, inside it was full of egg-sized pearls. The two boxes together were a total of twenty pearls.
¡°Don¡¯t know if these two boxes of pearls could exchange her life?!¡±
The eagerness in Misha¡¯s voice couldn¡¯t help but let people guess about his rtionship with Murong Qing Lian. Plus, his sincere tone coupled with that na?ve and innocent face, made people stiff heart couldn¡¯t help but go soft.
¡°Your majesty, if she¡¯s someone irrelevant, why don¡¯t you let her go?!¡± Since the moment the boxes were opened, Lin Ke Xin was attracted to these beautiful pearls.
Such beautiful pearls. Every one of them were full. Besides, they were the size of eggs. How rare were they, ah?! From the first nce, Lin Ke Xin liked the pearls Misha brought. Such pearls, no matter if it was for making jewelry or for grinding it into pearl powder, it was the best. One pearl was already worth a lot of money, not to mention twenty!
Aside from the pearls, the moment Lin Ke Xin saw Misha, she felt that this child was cute. A man, no matter how cute he was when he was young, but after growing up, he would lose his naivety and ignorance. Only this young man had a baby face. Looking at him, he seemed like a big child, making people couldn¡¯t help but want to love him.
Lin Ke Xin spoked up for Misha, Wanyan Lie knew that she certainly fancied these pearls. However, these were indeed good pearls. Twenty pearls could exchange Murong Qing Lian¡¯s rotten life. Besides, he could get a favor from Misha. Maybe, there would be a time when he could use it.
After calcting a bit, Wanyan Lie nodded and ordered Jing De, ¡°Let people go get Murong Qing Lian out!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Jing De also didn¡¯t know if Murong Qing Lian was dead or alive at this moment. If it wasn¡¯t because the appearance of Misha, they would¡¯ve forgotten that such a person had existed. Now, Wanyan Lie nodded and epted, it could be considered that Murong Qing Lian escaped death and also didn¡¯t need to suffer torture anymore. It was just, he didn¡¯t know if she still had a breath at this moment. He hoped that she was lucky and was able to survive.
From the beginning to end, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything. She didn¡¯t know Misha, but she vaguely felt that this person had something to do with the test at the pagoda. The only thing that let Murong Qi Qi be surprised was that Misha said, once Murong Qing Lian had the grace of saving him.
ording to what Murong Qi Qi knew, from young till now, Murong Qing Lian had been living in Xi Liang and had never left. Misha is Peni Ind¡¯s disciple. Peni Ind had some distance with the maind. It was inconvenient for his legs to walk. When did he came to Xi Liang and how did he meet Murong Qing Lian?
Sensing that someone was looking with puzzled eyes at him, Misha turned his face and saw Murong Qi Qi. When he saw that face of Murong Qi Qi, Misha¡¯s eyes were dull. He nodded and smiled slightly at her. In his eyes were no stunning expression. This actually let Murong Qi Qi felt unexpected!
At least, from the moment she used her real face, there was no one who wouldn¡¯t be surprised when seeing her. Seeing her but wasn¡¯t attracted to her, Misha was the first.
While waiting for Murong Qing Lian, Wanyan Lie let people put the tables and invited Misha and Jia Lan to take a seat. These two people didn¡¯t care about politeness and was like when you enter a vige, follow the local customs. Very quickly, they merged in the banquet. The banquet that was disturbed by them became lively once again.
When you enter a vige, follow the local customs: do as the natives do
After a long time, two people brought Murong Qing Lian.
Seeing Murong Qing Lian once again, Murong Qi Qi almost didn¡¯t recognize her. Messy hair and dirty face. She was dressed in blood soaked clothes. Besides, the blood seemed to have dried up for a long time and became dark red.
¡°Your majesty, the person is brought!¡± Jing De went to behind Wanyan Lie and whispered.
¡°Young master Misha, you can take a look. Is she the person you¡¯re looking for?¡±
Misha seemed a bit excited. He wanted to turn the wheel and push himself to Murong Qing Lian. However, because of excitement, his hand touched for a few times, but didn¡¯t touch the wheel. In the end, it was Jia Lan who pushed him to Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Jia Lan, is it her?¡± Misha¡¯s voice trembled slightly.
Misha had never seen Murong Qing Lian, so he couldn¡¯t distinguish her. After Jia Lan heard Misha, he squatted, lowered his head and looked at Murong Qing Lian.
¡°Don¡¯t beat me! Don¡¯t beat me!¡± Not waiting for Jia Lan to be near her, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hands supported herself and backed two steps. The loose hair, because it wasn¡¯t cleaned for a long time, they became locked to each other and exuded a stench. In the hair were also some straws that only the prison could have.
The original beautiful eyes of Murong Qing Lian were no longer full of confidence. Instead, they were filled with fear and dread. She seemed particrly afraid to see people. So, when she saw Misha and Jia Lan, her whole body trembled and she wanted to escape the two people.
Murong Qing Lian used her hand to push the ground and backed. Misha discovered that her legs had been destroyed with beating. The original slender legs,y now clumsily on the ground. The fabric of the pants was very thin and revealed all the purple whip marks. There were some ces that were very swollen, infected and revealed yellow and red pus.
She seemed that she didn¡¯t feel any pain or maybe she was already numb from pain. In Murong Qing Lian¡¯s point of view, these pains were nothing. The only thing that let her be afraid was the so many people as well as the two men in front of her.
¡°She¡¯s Murong Qing Lian.¡± Jia Lan didn¡¯t expect that he didn¡¯t see her just in a few months, the originally proud girl became like this. What happened on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body? Why did she be like this?
Such a Murong Qing Lian made Misha¡¯s heart ache. He slowly came to Murong Qing Lian and reached out his right hand. The pair of beautiful eyes showed countless of remorse and repentance.
¡°Lian, don¡¯t be afraid! Big brother hase!¡±
Chapter 150 (part 2) The horror scene at the imperial garden
Chapter 150 (part 2) The horror scene at the imperial garden
Misha¡¯s voice was clean and clear. In this lively and noisy banquet, like a clear spring it flowed into Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. She slowly raised her head. Her eyes looked through the hair in front of her forehead at this beautiful boy. She didn¡¯t say anything.
Although, the fear in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes lessened a lot, but her whole body was still full of guarding. From those old and new scares on her body, Misha knew that she suffered a non-human torture. Making Murong Qing Lian believe in them so quickly was something unlikely. So, Misha tried to convince himself to be patient and to take it slowly.
¡°Lian, I came to meet you! Don¡¯t be afraid. I won¡¯t hurt you! I also won¡¯t let anyone hurt you!¡±
The gentleness in Misha¡¯s words let Jia Lan be very surprised. At least, knowing Misha for so many years, he had never seen Misha be so gentle towards any woman. Could it be that Murong Qing Lian really was the person he was looking for?
Murong Qing Lian still didn¡¯t move. Her body also no longer backed. Don¡¯t know why, the beautiful boy in front of her made her be not so afraid and his voice was like it had magic, making her guard copse bit by bit. Slowly, Murong Qing Lian raised her right hand that was covered with whip marks.
Murong Qing Lian taking the initiative made Misha very happy. She believed him! She chose to believe his words! It seemed that nothing was worthier to let people feel happy than this!
Misha went forward and held Murong Qing Lian¡¯s injured right hand. His heart ached very much, ¡°Lian, does your hand hurt? Big brother would apply cream for you, alright?¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Murong Qing Lian nodded obediently. Her well-behaved appearance made people feel pity. Regardless of the stenching from Murong Qing Lian¡¯s whole body, Misha reached out, picked her up and carried her in his embrace.
¡°Ah....¡± The people who were originally watching a y, saw that this beautiful young boy didn¡¯t care about being dirty and actually carried that ugly and also smelly person, they were very surprised. Someone even screamed.
¡°What are you looking at?¡± Misha turned his wheelchair and looked at the person who screamed. Different from his former amiable self, at this time his eyes exuded a chilling murderous aura, making people when met with that pair of cold eyes couldn¡¯t help but shiver.
¡°Misha, here is Bei Zhou!¡± Jia Lan who was familiar with Misha¡¯s personality, opened his mouth to stop him. His implied meaning was, here is Bei Zhou and that they couldn¡¯t kill people ording to their temper.
¡°Humph...,¡± Misha humphed slightly and retrieved his gaze. He looked gently at the petite woman in his hand. He seemed as if he wasn¡¯t affected by her dirtiness and smelliness, ¡°Lian, I¡¯ll take you home!¡±
¡°Home...,¡± Murong Qing Lian looked nkly at Misha as if she didn¡¯t understand what home was.
Seeing that pair of confused eyes of Murong Qing Lian, Misha clenched his fist. Lian, who harmed you like this? Regardless of who it was, as long as I find him/her, I will definitely take revenge for you!
When Misha stabilized his mood, Jia Lan looked around. He discovered that there was no trace of Xia Yun Xi. So, he asked Wanyan Lie, ¡°Your majesty, didn¡¯t Dong Lu¡¯s princess Yune today? She¡¯s my junior sister. This time when we came, Dong Lu¡¯s emperor asked us to pass a letter to her!¡±
After Jia Lan mentioned Xia Yun Xi did everyone discover that they didn¡¯t know where this princess went to. Some sharp-eyed people discovered that Wanyan Yi also disappeared. Where did these two people go to? Everyone was puzzled.
¡°Your majesty, this subject wife also don¡¯t know where Yi er1 went to...,¡± Just now, Lin Ke Xin was focused on staring at the pearls. She simply didn¡¯t pay attention to her son. She looked once again. Murong Qi Qi was still here. Lin Ke Xin¡¯s eyelids began to jump badly.
ording to their n, now, shouldn¡¯t Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Yi be having intercourse with each other? Why was Murong Qi Qi like nothing happened to her and Wanyan Yi disappeared? When she saw Xia Yun Xi¡¯s empty seat, Lin Ke Xin got a bad feeling. Could it be...
¡°No!¡± Lin Ke Xin suddenly stood up. Shepletely forgot that Wanyan Lie who sat next to her, hadn¡¯t spoken yet. Now, she was only thinking about Wanyan Yi¡¯s matter. Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t here. Wanyan Yi disappeared. Is not that these two people had something, right?!
¡°Consort De, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Directly hearing the ¡®no¡¯ from Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Lie frowned.
¡°Noth, nothing.¡± Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t dare to let Wanyan Lie know that they partnered to calcte Murong Qi Qi and want her to lose her chastity. ording to the degree of Wanyan Lie¡¯s care for Murong Qi Qi; if he knew their conspiracy, Wanyan Yi¡¯s future would be ruined.
However, if Wanyan Yi was really with Xia Yun Xi, then how should she end this matter? Could it be to let Wanyan Yi marry Xia Yun Xi? This could be done. Xia Yun Xi is Dong Lu¡¯s princess. She could be some help to Wanyan Yi, but no matter how, she couldn¡¯t bepared with Murong Qi Qi, ah!
Although Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t say anything, but Wanyan Lie wasn¡¯t a fool. This woman¡¯s face already betrayed her heart. Then, recalling that just now, Wanyan Yi and Xia Yun Xi toasted at the same time with Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie¡¯s face turned dark.
He¡¯s the emperor. He didn¡¯t bother with the matter of the harem, but that didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t know those tactics of the harem. Now, those tactics had been used on Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, how could Wanyan Lie not be furious?! Even though, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were fine, but they were calcted by people. This let Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart very ufortable.
¡°Since nothing is the matter, beloved officials, apany zhen2 for a walk! This hall is a bit stuffy. Let¡¯s go outside and take a walk!¡±
Everyone was still pondering about Wanyan Yi and Dong Lu¡¯s princess¡¯s disappearance when Wanyan Lie suddenly suggested to go out for a walk. Everyone didn¡¯t understand what the emperor was thinking, but it¡¯s difficult to refuse an emperor. The officials got up and followed behind Wanyan Lie.
¡°Your majesty...,¡± Lin Ke Xin was a bit anxious and was worried for Wanyan Yi. If by chance, Wanyan Lie saw by ident things he shouldn¡¯t have seen, by then, Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t know what Wanyan Lie would do.
¡°Beloved consort, go together with zhen!¡± Not waiting for Lin Ke Xin to finish speaking, Wanyan Lie grabbed Lin Ke Xin¡¯s hand and took her out of Taiji hall.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s palm was cold making Lin Le Xin¡¯s heart startled. He was so different from his normal state. Could it be that he discovered something? Lin Ke Xin was afraid, but her mind turned constantly and nned how she should deal with what¡¯sing.
A group of people under Wanyan Lie¡¯s lead, majestically went to a sightseeing at the harem. Wanyan Lie maintained a gentle smile. However, the chillness emitting from his cold palm told Lin Ke Xin that he was in a very bad mood now.
¡°Good brother...don¡¯t stop...good brother...¡±
¡°Who is more powerful between I and Feng cang? Who do you love more?¡±
¡°Love, love you...¡±
After walking very far, everyone heard some strange voices. It seemed to came from the imperial garden.
¡°To the imperial garden!¡± Hearing this dirty dialogue, Wanyan Lie was surer of this thought. At this time, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s face paled immediately.
Nobody understands one¡¯s son better than his mother, how could she not recognize that voice?! Wanyan Yi was at the imperial garden. Besides, he was doing that kind of thing. Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t dare to think about how the officials would view Wanyan Yi after seeing him being so impetuous. Wanyan Yi was a candidate for the throne, ah. If he lost the public opinion, no matter how hard she works in the future, his reputation couldn¡¯t be saved!
¡°Your majesty!¡± Lin Ke Xin pulled Wanyan Lie. Her eyes were begging, ¡°Your majesty, this subject wife feels a bit unwell. This subject wife...¡±
¡°Now you know how to worry?¡± How could Wanyan Lie really not know Lin Ke Xin¡¯s trick. It was just, the moment he thought that this pair of mother and son originally wanted to calcte Murong Qi Qi, an unknown fire was lit in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. That is Ming Yue¡¯s baby. They actually came up with such a n. Really too shameless.
¡°Your majesty! This subject wife, this subject wife begs you!¡±
Being seen through by Wanyan Lie, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s lips trembled slightly. She regretted. If she had known that this man wasn¡¯t easy to fool, she wouldn¡¯t have arranged such a thing. Now, they were only separated by a wall from the imperial garden. If Wanyan Lie insisted on going in, then wouldn¡¯t the image Wanyan Yi shaped for so many years copse?!
No, couldn¡¯t be so cruel! Lin Ke Xin shook her head. Her eyes were full of begging. Your majesty, don¡¯t be like this. Yi er is your son. Please take our feelings of being a couple for more than twenty years into ount, don¡¯t ruin him!
Lin Ke Xin didn¡¯t say these words out loudly, but her eyes conveyed her thoughts to Wanyan Lie.
All the sess and failures were a thought of Wanyan Lie. If Wanyan Lie really didn¡¯t leave any room for errors, then how would Wanyan Yi face the people in the future, ah?!
¡°Humph!¡± How could Wanyan Lie not understand Lin Ke Xin¡¯s thoughts. Now, she knew how to regret and how to ask for mercy. Why didn¡¯t she think more before doing?
Although Wanyan Lie wanted to see what that animal was doing, but after all, Wanyan Yi was his son. Besides, behind him followed the officials. The son being shamed was also because he, this father didn¡¯t taught him well. By then, he would also be involved and beughed at because of Wanyan Yi¡¯s stupid actions.
Just as Wanyan Lie intended to give up, the sound of that side spread over again.
¡°When that old but still alive bastard go to the heaven, I will be emperor. By then, I will certainly make you empress!¡±
After these words spread over, Wanyan Lie¡¯s face immediately turned dark. The gaze he looked at Lin Ke Xin with seemed to have two daggers. ¡°So, this was the calction of you and your son!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s voice was gloomy with a monstrous wroth. Just now, he was certain and determined that the person he heard talking was Wanyan Yi. He didn¡¯t thought, that the son who was always respectful in front of him, his (WY) true thoughts would be to want him (WL) to go to heaven sooner.
¡°No, emperor, this is definitely a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding...¡±
Lin Ke Xin was also truly dumbfounded. Did feces enter Wanyan Yi¡¯s head? To actually say such disgraceful words? With great difficulty, she persuaded Wanyan Lie. She used feelings to touch him and let him abandon the idea of going to the imperial garden. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Yi would say such words of searching for death at this moment! What had happened to him? Could it be that Wanyan Yi didn¡¯t know that what a sovereign was most concerned about, was when someone else was thinking about his position?
¡°F*** off!¡± The annoyance from before coupled with the anger of now, the two fused together and hit Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. These were the words the son he loved for so many years said. It turned out, in Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart, he, this emperor father was a ¡®old but still alive bastard¡¯!
Wanyan Lie pushed Lin Ke Xin away and entered the imperial garden with big steps.
¡°Emperor, don¡¯t, ah!¡± Although Lin Xin was suddenly pushed away, but this one kick let her bepletely sober. Seeing that Wanyan Lie was about to enter the imperial garden, Lin Ke Xin went and clung on Wanyan Lie¡¯s leg.
The words of Wanyan Yi just now were really overboard. ording to Wanyan Lie¡¯s personality, if he went inside so furiously, he would certainly cut down Wanyan Yi, this unfilial son! Whatever the oue, he¡¯s a piece of meat that fell from her body. Besides, originally Lin Ke Xin preferred her eldest son. Now, seeing that Wanyan Yi was in trouble, she as his consort mother, how could she not worry?
Being trapped like this by Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Lie got angrier. This woman, usually she was weak like a cat. Now, her strength was so scary while protecting her son. Could it be that she was also calcting to let him go to heaven sooner and let Wanyan Yi be the emperor, so, she could then be the empress dowager?
When he thought that there was such a possibility, the way Wanyan Lie looked at Lin Ke Xin no longer had love. No matter how good he was to this woman, in the hearts of women, sons would stille first. She actually partnered with her son to calcte his throne. Really enough is enough.
¡°Get lost...,¡± Wanyan Lie no longer had mercy. One kick fell on Lin Ke Xin¡¯s chest. With big steps, he went into the imperial garden.
It was unexpected that the emperor got angry. Some clever people probably guessed the things inside of this. It was just, no one dared to say it out.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s kick happened to fell near Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart. Tears almost fell from pain. However, she was more worried that Wanyan Lie would kill Wanyan Yi from anger. Even if her chest hurt very much, she still stood up, stumbled and followed behind Wanyan Lie.
The two key figures were gone. The officials stood there. You looked at me, I looked at you. Should or shouldn¡¯t they enter this imperial garden? The people couldn¡¯t reach an agreement. They looked at Feng Cang. At least, here, Nan Lin wang3 Feng Cang held the highest position.
¡°Big brother, we better help look for princess Yun! She came from afar and is a guest. If there are some idents, then it would be our Bei Zhou¡¯s wrongdoing.¡± At this time, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words floated to everyone¡¯s ears. These words ignited them like a fire.
That¡¯s right, ah! They didn¡¯te for the scandal of the imperial family, but they came to help find Dong Lu¡¯s princess! The moment they thought of this, the nervousness of before disappeared. One after another, the officials entered the imperial garden,
The moment they entered, they were struck dumb. Is, is here still the imperial garden?
If it wasn¡¯t because they came to this imperial garden many times, after seeing the scene in front of them, the officials would¡¯ve thought they went to an open brothel. What¡¯s the matter with all those women lying down? And also, thend of clothes, this, this...everyone was struck dumb.
The officials weren¡¯t the only ones who were struck dumb. Wanyan Lie was also struck dumb. After entering, he didn¡¯t say one words. These scenes already shocked himpletely. Lin Ke Xin who was just now begging for mercy for Wanyan Yi, at this moment, her mouth was wide open. Heavens! Why was it like this?!
The only one who was calm was Murong Qi Qi. Even Feng Cang at this moment couldn¡¯t hold it together.
In front of them,y at least seven or eight pce maids. Their expressions showed pain. Their mouth were moaning. Seeing their appearance, they seemed to have been defiled.
The ground was full of torn clothes. On some clothes, red blood could be seen. The air was filled with a decadent smell. At the other side, Wanyan Yi was still happily continuing....
¡°How is it? Am I awesome?¡± They seemed to be too intoxicated. They didn¡¯t notice that behind them so many people appeared.
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hair was loose. She didn¡¯t have anything on. Her eyes were misty. Her hands held the tree in front of her tightly.
¡°Then, are you marrying me or are you marrying Feng Cang?¡±
Originally, she received a heavy p, but Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t seem like she felt the slightest pain. Instead, she made a ¡°woo...¡± sound as if she was agreeing with Wanyan Yi.
¡°Say!¡± Wanyan Yi changed hands and pped once again.
¡°Marry you! You¡¯re a good big brother! The best, the best big brother!¡±
¡°Hahaha! Of course! I¡¯m the best! What is Feng Cang?! He¡¯s just a gigolo who relies on his face to eat! I¡¯m much stronger han him!
When Wanyan Yi¡¯s words spread to Feng Cang, his face immediately turned a lot darker. What was called a gigolo who relies on his face to eat? Was there a gigolo like him?
Sensing Feng Cang¡¯s unhappiness, Murong Qi Qi quietly said, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re the best. Don¡¯t bother with him, the head of pigs!
The words ¡®head of pigs¡¯ spread to the officials¡¯ ears by the wind. They connected this scene with the scene of pigs breeding together. When they thought about it, it was somewhat simr. Those boldughed out loudly.
At this side, Wanyan Yi waspletely immersed in the world of two people. It was so wonderful!
¡°Yun er, when I be emperor, I¡¯ll cut off Feng Cang¡¯s head and kick it as a ball, alright?¡±
¡°Alright...good big brother, do as you like...¡±
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
3. Wang: the prince of first rank
Chapter 151 (Part 1) Dead, all dead
Chapter 151 (Part 1) Dead, all dead
This prince¡¯s gut was really big. He wanted to cut off Nan Lin wang¡¯s1 head and kick it as a ball...The people couldn¡¯t help but look at Feng Cang. Most people¡¯s eyes stayed on Feng Cang¡¯s perfect neck. They imagined what kind of ability Wanyan Yi had to take Feng Cang¡¯s head.
In contrary to the officials, Feng Cang didn¡¯t have an expression on his face. His eyes only narrowed as if he hadn¡¯t heard the words Wanyan Yi had just said. Only Murong Qi Qiughed after hearing those words. ¡°Big brother, it seems that we aren¡¯t liked by the people! After killing big brother, presumably, he would then abuse little sister....¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words sounded indifferent and floated to Wanyan Lie¡¯s ears. It was but a small cry, but it made Wanyan Lie¡¯s face undergo considerable change.
¡°Animal!¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s face looked malevolent. ¡°What are you staring at? Still not tying this animal up?!¡±
An ¡®animal¡¯ made Lin Ke Xin wake up. Seeing Jing De move forward with people to tie Wanyan Yi up, Lin Ke Xin knelt in front of Wanyan Lie, ¡°Your majesty, spare Yi er2! Usually, Yi er is filial and humble. Now that he¡¯s like this; he¡¯s certainly being set up by others! Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s beautifully tear-stained face was extremely disgusting in Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes. Why did these women always have one face in front of him and another behind him? Previously, he still cared about the feelings between father and son, but what kind of bastard words had Wanyan Yi said?! It seemed that Wanyan Yi¡¯s usual performance was a disguise. It was all to lie to him!
¡°Drunk people spit out the truth. Even if people set him up, then how could the words he had just said not reveal his true thoughts?!¡± Wanyan Lie retrieved the leg that Lin Ke Xin had held on tightly. ¡°In zhen¡¯s3 eyes, you and your son had long coveted the throne and it must be you, the mother, who has installed those words in him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said such things! Humph! Want zhen to die sooner, so you can get the world. This is well calcted!¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s face paled after her thoughts had been said out loud by Wanyan Lie. She quickly denied and also keenly kowtowed, ¡°Your majesty, this subject wife¡¯s heart is only for your majesty and also never had such a disgraceful thought. Asking your majesty to not listen to the vile person¡¯s instigation. Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!¡±
¡°Instigation? Is there still the need for someone to instigate? Just now, he had said it with his own mouth!¡±
Wanyan Lie looked at Wanyan Yi. He found that this son was still immersed in his own world, and felt that this son was truly very shameful. ¡°Jing De, are you also not listening to zhen anymore?! Quickly tie that animal up!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Jing De quickly nodded. He gestured to let two eunuchs go forward. One at the left, one at the right, and they seized Wanyan Yi¡¯s arms.
He was doing a good thing, but still got disturbed. This feeling was very not good. Wanyan Yi looked and saw that there were two eunuchs. He got his hands free and gave each of them a p on the face, ¡°Bastard! Didn¡¯t you see that zhen is busy!¡±
Presumably, it was those words of Xia Yun Xi from earlier that made Wanyan Yi float. Now, his brain was impulsive and he felt that he¡¯d already ascended the throne and became the emperor. So, he impulsively used ¡®zhen¡¯ in reference to himself.
¡°Look, you take a look! Just now, you said that zhen wronged you two. Now, he has already began to rece zhen!¡±
This word from Wanyan Yi undoubtedly made the Wanyan Lie, who¡¯d been walking on an edge, copse into a fire pit. ¡®Pa!¡¯ Wanyan Lie pped. Two people in ck appeared in front of everyone.
¡°Tie Wanyan Yi up!¡±
The people in ck listened to Wanyan Lie¡¯s order. They went forward. A short momentter, they had tied Wanyan Yi tightly with a rope. Don¡¯t know if these people in ck did it on purpose or not, but they didn¡¯t give Wanayn Yi any clothes to wear. At this time, Wanyan Yi had been tied up like a fried dough and was thrown in front of Wanyan Lie.
¡°Let me go! Your gut is very big! Let me go!¡± While Wanyan Yi struggled, he shouted loudly. Wanyan Lie went forward and kicked Wanayn Yi¡¯s face. Immediately, two red rivers flowed out of Wanyan Yi¡¯s nose, apanied with a ¡®kacha¡¯ sound.
¡°Ah...,¡± The intense paining from the bridge of his nose made Wanyan Yi wake up. ¡°Who! Who the f*** kicked me?!¡±
Wanyan Yi¡¯s foulnguage made the officials turnpletely speechless. Even if you ate a drug and became crazy, but let¡¯s trouble you to keep some reasoning! You¡¯re a prince. In this world, there were only a few people who could kick you like this. If you think a bit, wouldn¡¯t you know?
It turned out that the originally refined, gentle, elegant, clean-living, and honest highness actually had the NP hobby. Besides, he liked to dodies in the open air. Not to mention his foul mouth and his big imagination... Wanyan Yi¡¯s usually virtuous reputation, after today¡¯s matter, waspletely gone. (TL note: I don¡¯t know what NP is. I tried to search for it but found nothing. If you know, enlighten me)
This ¡¯who the f***¡¯ from Wanyan Yi almost made Lin Ke Xin faint. Did this child¡¯s brain get cramps? Did he be silly? He had actually talked like this to Wanyan Lie.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wanyan Lie pulled a whip from the person in ck¡¯s waist and hit Wanyan Yi.
¡®Pa!¡¯ Wanyan Lie was also someone who practiced martial arts. The strength in his hand was great. Besides, now he was very angry with Wanyan Yi. He put extra weight in his ps.
¡°Wa! Ah! Hurt!¡± Wanyan Yi shouted. However, he was now very tied up. He simply couldn¡¯t break away. Now, he was rolling here and there on the ground, avoiding Wanyan Lie¡¯s whip. From the point of view of the officials, it was like a big white worm twisting and turning on the ground.
¡°So ugly...,¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words just fell, when Feng Cang¡¯s hand was suddenly before her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t look. If you look at an ugly thing, you would get an eye of a needle!¡±
¡°Puchi..,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qiugh. Get an eye of a needle? Such a funny excuse, and Feng Cang had said it so seriously. However, Feng Cang had covered her eyes so she wouldn¡¯t have to see something ugly. So, she simply closed her eyes and only listened to Wanyan Yi¡¯s shouts.
¡°Ah! Emperor father, why are you beating this subject son!¡±
The pain on his body finally made Wanyan Yi wake up. When he looked up, in front of him were all people. Lin Ke Xin was kneeling on the floor with her face full of tears. And he... ¡°Who took off this highness¡¯ clothes? Who did it?!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Yi ying a fool now, Wanyan Lie felt even more that this bastard had made him lose his old face. Today, he has utterly lost face! Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t answer Wanyan Yi. He whipped Wanyan Yi again and again, and left multiple blood trails on his (WY) body.
¡°Emperor father, this subject son is innocent, this subject son is innocent, ah!¡± Finally, Wanyan Yi felt shame. He faced the ground while his back faced the sky. He covered his most important part and kept saying he¡¯s innocent. However, after Wanyan Lie got through the stimtion of just now, how could Wanyan Yi¡¯s words enter his ears!
At this side, Wanyan Yi had woken uppletely under Wanyan Lie¡¯s whip. At the other side, Jia Lan took off his coat and wrapped up Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Junior sister? Junior sister!¡±
Jia Lan called two times, but Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t wake up. She was still immersed in her own happiness. She looked with infatuation at Jia Lan¡¯s face. She reached out and touched his face, ¡°Good brother, howe I didn¡¯t see you for a short time, you¡¯ve changed appearance?¡±
¡°Junior sister! I¡¯m Jia Lan, your third senior brother!¡± Jia Lan frowned and grabbed Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hand.
¡°Third senior brother? Hehe, good brother, don¡¯t lie to me! Third senior brother is at Peni Ind! You can pretend to be anyone, why pretend to be third senior brother to lie to me?!¡±
Seeing that Xia Yun Xi was still befuddled, Jia Lan carried her to theke. He put her head in the water. It was the beginning of spring. The water of theke was still cold. Under the stimtion of this cold, Xia Yun Xi shuddered, choked and woke uppletely.
¡°Third senior brother, why are you here?¡± The water on Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face dripped onto the ground. She stared at Jia Lan with a look of disbelief.
¡°I should ask you this!¡±
Jia Lan knew that Xia Yun Xi being like this was because she was under the influence of some drug. Besides, Wanyan Yi also seemed to have the same symptoms. However, who did it? Why did he/she do it?
Xia Yun Xi was puzzled at Jia Lan¡¯s words. When she felt somewhat cold and wanted to tighten the clothes on her body, she discovered that her dress had be a man¡¯s coat and that she wasn¡¯t wearing anything underneath.
¡°Ah...,¡± Xia Yun Xi screamed. ¡°Why is it like this? Why...¡±
While talking, Xia Yun Xi gradually recalled the fragments of just now. Wanyan Yi¡¯s face clearly appeared in front of Xia Yun Xi. ¡°It¡¯s him. He certainly did it!¡±
Xia Yun Xi wanted to stand up, but because of what had happened, her legs didn¡¯t have any strength. When she saw Wanyan Yi kneeling not too far away, Xia Yun Xi screamed once again. The high voice was ear-splitting.
¡°Ah...¡±
Xia Yun Xi¡¯s scream also let Wanyan Yi remember what had happened. He got her. He finally got her! In contrast to Xia Yun Xi¡¯s screams, Wanyan Yi had a look of joy on his face. Could this be the destiny decided by heaven?
¡°Yun er, I¡¯m here. Yun er!¡±
Although he was tightly bound, but Wanyan Yi still struggled to get up and wanted to go to Xia Yun Xi.
The moment she saw the naked Wanyan Yi as he turned around, Xia Yun Xi clutched her head and screamed. She didn¡¯t know why she would be with Wanyan Yi and why such a thing had happened between them. Shouldn¡¯t Feng Cang be the one who had drunk the wine? Why was it Wanyan Yi?!
Xia Yun Xi shook her head. She seemed to look around for Feng Cang. In the end, she saw Feng Cang dressed in white among the crowd. He stood there coldly with a frost-like expression. When her gaze touched Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Xia Yun Xi clearly saw the nausea and disgust inside those eyes.
¡°No, it wasn¡¯t like this!¡± When she saw those officials, Xia Yun Xi knew her everything had been ruined by Wanyan Yi.
Her reputation as a girl, her marriage, her destiny and Feng Cang; all of these left her because of Wanyan Yi.
Tears as big as the size of beans streamed down Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face. She didn¡¯t say anything. She red fiercely at Wanyan Yi as if she wanted to use her eyes to dig out Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart.
Wanyan Yi had never seen such a Xia Yun Xi. He knew that she must hate him for this matter. In front of so many people, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s face, Dong Lu¡¯s face, all was lost.
¡°Yun er, I¡¯m sorry. I couldn¡¯t restrain myself. I really love you very much. I truly love you!¡±
Wanyan Yi moved to Xia Yun Xi. His words made everyonee to a ¡®realization¡¯. So, it was like that! So, it was second prince who fell in love with princess Yun. So, he used such a fierce way to get her.
It was just, this highness was really too careless! The kind of ce you chose was not right. Why choose the imperial garden where everyone cane and go? Such a thing had happened in the pce and the parties were a prince and a princess. This matter was really too horrifying.
The ¡®love¡¯ Wanyan Yi was talking about; to Xia Yun Xi, it was the biggest joke. After resting for a moment, her legs gradually restored their consciousness. Xia Yun Xi stood up. Step by step, she walked to Wanyan Yi.
¡°You love me? No, you don¡¯t love me. You¡¯re bringing harm to me! You obviously know I liked Feng Cang and still used such underhanded means to get me. You love me? No, the things you like are my identity and the help that Dong Lu behind me could bring you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re jealous of Feng Cang! You¡¯re afraid that he¡¯ll get your throne, so you had to increase your own chips. That was why, you¡¯d set your eyes on me! Even at the expense of using such ways to destroy me to get what you want! You¡¯re too shameless!¡±
¡°No! It¡¯s not like this!¡± Wanyan Yi shook his head. Although he did have such thoughts, but he liked Xia Yun Xi more. ¡°Yun er, I really love you! Really! I swear! I can swear on my life!¡±
¡°Life?¡± In Xia Yun Xi¡¯s ears, this world was aplete joke. Her everything was ruined. What had happened just now, Feng Cang certainly saw it. He originally didn¡¯t like her. Now, he must hate her even more because she¡¯s a casual woman.
¡°Since you¡¯re willing to swear with your life, then go die!¡±
Xia Yun Xi pulled the sword from Jia Lan¡¯s waist and pierced Wanyan Yi¡¯s heart. This one attack was fast. So fast, people couldn¡¯t stop it. When everyone understood what had happened, Xia Yun Xia d already pulled out the sword. Red blood burst out and sshed Xia Yun Xi¡¯s whole face.
¡°Yi er!¡± After Lin Ke Xin saw such a scene, she wentpletely nk. Even Wanyan Lie was stunned.
¡°Yun er...,¡± Blood gushed out of Wanyan Yi¡¯s mouth. He had a look of disbelief. The woman he loved didn¡¯t consider the physical rtionship between husband and wife of just now. She actually hated him this much.
¡°Yun er, you really...really hate me so much?¡±
The pain on his chest made Wanyan Yi take deep breaths. That one attack had directly stabbed his heart. At this time, Wanyan Yi could clearly feel the paining from his heart. It turned out that death was such a feeling, ah! However, he wasn¡¯t resigned. He really wasn¡¯t resigned!
¡°I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I will never forgive you!¡± Xia Yun Xi couldn¡¯t ept what had happened. So many people saw it. How could she live?! If this matter was spread out, the saliva of the people was enough to drown her!

Chapter 151 (Part 2) Dead, all dead
Chapter 151 (Part 2) Dead, all dead
¡®Ceng...¡¯, a silver light shed. The sword in Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hand once again stabbed Wanyan Yi¡¯s lower body and cut down his **. It was this dirty thing that had brought cmity to her. It was he who had brought cmity to her!
¡°Ah!¡± Before Wanyan Yi died, he screamed tragically. ¡®Dong...¡¯ Wanyan Yi knelt on the floor, full of blood. His forehead was sweaty. That kind of pain was a hundred, a thousand times more painful than the paining from his chest.
At this time, Wanyan Yi finally understood that Xia Yun Xi truly hated him, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t have been so cruel.
¡°Yi er!¡±1 Lin Ke Xin rushed over when her son fell. She pulled the brocade from her body and covered Wanyan Yi¡¯s body, ¡°Yi er, don¡¯t be afraid. Consort mother is here. Consort mother is here! Imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician!
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s hands clutched Wanyan Yi¡¯s chest and wanted to block the hole to not let bloode out. However, this method had no effect. A short whileter, her hands were covered red with blood.
¡°Consort mother, it¡¯s...it¡¯s useless...¡± Blood flowed along Wanyan Yi¡¯s chin. His young life following the loss of this blood was also lost.
¡°Consort mother, this subject son is not filial, can¡¯t...be filial to you anymore...this subject son regretted not listening to you...consort mother...¡± Wanyan Yi¡¯s excitement made the blood flow faster.
¡°Don¡¯t talk. Consort mother will certainly cure you! Don¡¯t talk, Yi er! Imperial physician! Imperial physician!¡± Lin Ke Xin wiped her tears, but she stained her white face with blood.
¡°Consort mother...this subject son truly...loves her...asking consort mother...don¡¯t make things difficult for Yun er...it¡¯s this subject son who was wrong...and took her innocence...this subject son wronged her...¡±
At the end of life, Wanyan Yi actually pleaded for Xia Yun Xi. He knew that Xia Yun Xi assassinated him. Even if she¡¯s a Dong Lu¡¯s princess, Wanyan Lie would not let her off easily. Wanyan Yi didn¡¯t want anything to happen to Xia Yun Xi. After all, she got angry because of him.
Seeing that till the end, Wanyan Yi still spoke for Xia Yun Xi, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart did more pain, ¡°Yi er, don¡¯t talk anymore. Nothing will happen to you. Consort mother begs you! Don¡¯t talk, hold on. The imperial physician will arrive soon!¡±
¡°Ha...,¡± Wanyan Yi¡¯s mouth twitched twice. His eyes tried hard to look at Xia Yun Xi. Her eyes only had hate. It seemed that this time, he really did wrong.
Thest impression that this world left Wanyan Yi was those eyes full of hate of Xia Yun Xi. Although, Wanyan Yi really wanted to say, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± to Xia Yun Xi, but his mouth tried hard to open, but not a sound came out.
¡°Yi er, Yi er! Ah!¡±
Holding Wanyan Yi¡¯s body, Lin Ke Xin screamed painfully as if she eanted to shout all her grievances and feelings of oppression out.
Just a short while, the things had undergone a dramatic turnaround, making those officials dumbfounded. Bei Zhou¡¯s prince raped Dong Lu¡¯s princess. In the end, he died at the hand of Dong Lu¡¯s princess. How should this matter be judged?
Everyone was calcting if Wanyan Lie would held Xia Yun Xi responsible for Wanyan Yi¡¯s death or not. If he held her responsible, would Dong Lu¡¯s emperor Xia Jin agree? If by chance, this matter gets big, the two countriesunched war, then what?
The original beautiful marriage alliance in the end became a drama and a tragedy, making people couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the fickleness of the affairs of life.
While everyone was worrying about if Xia Yun Xi could keep the head on her body, this involved party still looked full of hatred at Wanyan Yi¡¯s body. Even if he died, he still couldn¡¯t make up for the harm he caused her. If she could, Xia Yun Xi wished to eat his flesh to vent her anger.
The atmosphere, because of Wanyan Yi¡¯s death be strangely quiet. The officials lowered their head or looked at their fingertips or looked at the belt of the person standing in front of them. No one spoke and no one dare to make a sound at this moment.
A long period after Wanyan Yi¡¯s death, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t spoke. The silence of the emperor let these officials who mixed in the court for many years became more scared and on edge. The royal scandal was seen by the officials; what would Wanyan Lie do. Was it to silence them or something else?
The imperial garden had never been so quiet as today. Aside from Lin Ke Xin¡¯s sometimes loud and sometimes low crying, there was no other sound.
¡°Third senior brother, I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s go!¡± Finally, it was Xia Yun Xi who broke this piece of quietness. Although she wanted to go beg Feng Cang and exin that everything wasn¡¯t like what he saw, but Xia Yun Xi didn¡¯t do it.
At this time, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s mind was nk. She couldn¡¯t think of why the matter would be like this! Obviously, it should be Feng Cang; why did it be Wanyan Yi? She didn¡¯t think that Wanyan Yi was so despicable and shameless. Even if he died ten thousand times is not enough to make up from her inner pain!
Although her body still hurt very much, but now Xia Yun Xi only wanted to leave this ce that made her feel so much shame. She didn¡¯t have the face to look at Feng Cang and didn¡¯t have even more face to stay at Bei Zhou. She wanted to leave here. The sooner the better.
¡°I know.¡± Jia Lan never imagined that things would turn out like this. In such a short period of time, such a big change happened. It seemed that he should sent Dong Lu a letter quickly. If this matter isn¡¯t dissolved, then it would be a national problem. After all, it was Xia Yun Xi who personally killed Wanyan Yi.
Jia Lan was in the front. Xia Yun Xi was behind him. The two intended to leave the imperial garden.
¡°Hehe...,¡± Lin Ke Xin who was originally holding Wanyan Yi stood up. She stared at Xia Yun Xi¡¯s back andughed coldly. In just a moment, Lin Ke Xin rushed to Xia Yun Xi like the wind. Don¡¯t know when, a dagger appeared in her hand. When Xia Yun Xi sensed something strange and turned around, Lin Ke Xin¡¯s dagger already entered Xia Yun Xi¡¯s abdomen.
¡°Since Yi er likes you so much, then go down to keep himpany!¡± Lin Ke Xin revealed a crazy smile. She frantically pushed the dagger repeatedly in and then pulled it out.
¡®Pa...¡¯ Jia Lan¡¯s palm hit Lin Ke Xin¡¯s shoulder. Lin Ke Xin felt pain. The dagger in her hand fell on the ground. Jia Lan immediately stopped the bleeding for Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Third senior brother, so cold...,¡± Xia Yun Xi was pale-faced and her lips trembled slightly.
Jia Lan exercised his inner energy, wanting to heal Xia Yun Xi¡¯s injury, but he discovered that it was useless. Lin Ke Xin seemed to have used all the strength from her body on those few cuts. Even if god was here, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Feng...Cang...,¡± Xia Yun Xi wanted to look at Feng Cang, but she discovered that her eyelids were heavy and she was unable to open them. After saying Feng Cang¡¯s name for thest time, Xia Yun Xi closed her eyes. Her head fell in Jia Lan¡¯s arms.
¡°Junior sister...¡±
The body of the person in his arms was cold. Although Xia Yun Xi was a Peni Ind¡¯s disciple only by name, but after all she had to call him ¡®senior brother¡¯.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Seeing Xia Yun Xi like this, Lin Ke Xinughed loudly. ¡°Yi er, consort mother is afraid that you¡¯ll be lonely and sent her to you! Yi er, are you happy?!¡±
Lin Ke Xin¡¯s hair was scattered. The blood and tears merged together on her face. Her eyes were full of sadness. Coupled with these sad words, it made people unable to hate this person.
A life for a life. Wanyan Yi died at Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hands. Xia Yun Xi died at Lin Ke Xin¡¯s hands. All hatred should end with Xia Yun Xi¡¯s death.
¡°Your majesty, I want to take her back!¡±
Jia Lan carried Xia Yun Xi and stood up. No matter what the oue of this matter would be, now, Jia Lan only wanted to leave with Xia Yun Xi. At least, she should be buried at Dong Lu and not at Bei Zhou.
¡°Go...,¡± Wanyan Lie gestured with his hands. So many things happened at a pce banquet making Wanyan Lie suddenly seem to be a lot older.
Originally, Xia Yun Xi came to form a marriage alliance. It was a good thing. He didn¡¯t expect that in the end, it would end with two corpses. Wanyan Yi was indeed hateful, but his crime shouldn¡¯t have been punished with the death. Xia Yun Xi was indeed impulsive, but to take revenge for her son, wasn¡¯t Lin Ke Xin also an impulsive demon?!
¡°Leave, everyone, leave!¡±
Looking at the mad Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Lie gestured at the crowd, ¡°Everyone, leave!¡±
After a long time, Wanyan Lie finally spoke, making the officials let out a sigh of relief. Emperor said to leave. Naturally everyone wished that a pair of wings could grow on their back and quickly leave.
In just a moment, only a handful of people was left in the imperial garden.
Those pce maids who had been humiliated by Wanyan Yi, at this time, they were dressed and stood in a row. Seeing that Wanyan Lie was looking at them, these pce maids shivered from being scared.
¡°Kill...,¡± Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t say more nonsense. The next moment after his order, a person in ck appeared. In a sh, these seven to eight pce maids didn¡¯t have a chance to scream, they fell on the ground.
Looking at the redness spread on the ground, Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart was particrly heavy. Today, too many things had happened, making his mind somewhat nk.
¡°Jing De, escort consort De back to Jingxin hall. Burry second prince. Zhen 2 is tired and want to rest...¡±
Jing De let people support Lin Ke Xin to Jingxin hall. No matter what, she wouldn¡¯t let go of Wanyan Yi in her arms, ¡°Yi er, don¡¯t be afraid. Consort mother is at your side. Consort mother will protect you! Yi er, sleep obediently. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid!¡±
¡°Emperor...,¡± The crazy Lin Ke Xin was a bit difficult for Jing De. He could only look at Wanyan Lie.
¡°Let her! Find someone to look over her. When she¡¯s tired, send her back to Jingxin hall!¡± Wanyan Lie gestured with his hand, turned and left the imperial garden. His heart felt very heavy. Everything piled together and he had no way to digest it. It was as if something was struck in his throat, making him unbale to breath.
Wanyan Lie slowly left. Jing De arranged everything and followed behind Wanyan Lie with small steps, ¡°Emperor, where are you going?¡±
¡°Zhen wants to go to Long Autumn pce and see Ming Yue.¡± Now, Wanyan Lie only wanted to see Wanyan Ming Yue as if only at her side, his heart would calm down.
The moment Jing De heard that Wanyan Lie wanted to go to Long Autumn pce, he got anxious, ¡°Emperor, princess Zhen Guo lives at Long Autumn pce. If you go now...¡±
Jing De¡¯s reminder made Wanyan Lie wake up. That¡¯s right, ah! Murong Qi Qi is living there. If he goes during the day, wouldn¡¯t it let people suspect? Forget it! Forget it! Wanyan Lie shook his head. Even if he wanted to findfort at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s, but now was not the right time. ¡°Go back! Zhen will go to the imperial study...¡±
A pce banquet ended with Wanyan Yi¡¯s and Xia Yun Xi¡¯s death. Everyone was more concerned about what had happened at the imperial garden. No one paid attention to where Misha who appeared at the hall before, went to.
When Jia Lan returned with Xia Yun Xi¡¯s body to the mansion where they were temporarily staying, Misha was carefully cutting Murong Qing Lian¡¯s nails. He bought a maid to help Murong Qing Lian bath. He also let the maid apply medicine on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body and let her change Murong Qing Lian in new clothes. Now, Murong Qing Lian looked like aplete different person from the one from before. Finally, her original appearance could be seen.
¡°Lian, don¡¯t be afraid! Big brother will protect you!¡± Misha held a small scissor and cut the nails of Murong Qing Lian in a perfect arc. ¡°When you¡¯re better, big brother will help you take revenge!¡±
This whole way, Murong Qing Lian had been held by Misha. Just now, after soaking in the warm water, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s confused mind gradually sobered up.
Who was this person? Why would he use ¡®Lian¡¯ to address her? Murong Qing Lian looked motionless at the beautiful boy in front of her. Why couldn¡¯t she remember when she had seen this person? ¡°I only have one big brother, but he isn¡¯t you...¡±
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words made Misha surprised for a moment. Then, he revealed a pure smile, ¡°Lian, you only have one big brother and that is me, ah!¡±
¡°My big brother is not as great as you!¡± Murong Qing Lian shook her head, ¡°So, you¡¯re not him!¡±
¡°Lian, what happened in the past was my fault! But, please believe that this time, I won¡¯t treat you like before! I already regretted. I shouldn¡¯t have...¡±
Misha didn¡¯t finish, when the door was opened. Jia Lan appeared in front of them while carrying Xia Yun Xi.
¡°Senior brother, Yun Xi died.¡±
Misha looked at Xia Yun Xi in Jia Lan¡¯s arms. He revealed a strange smile, ¡°People are always going to die. You and I will also die one day. Don¡¯t need to be sad!¡±
Misha¡¯s answer was outside of Jia Lan¡¯s expectations. Although Xia Yun Xi wasn¡¯t likeable, but after all, they could be considered to havee from the same master. Misha¡¯s answer was too cold and didn¡¯t have a human touch.
¡°Lian,e, big brother will cut your nails for you!¡± Leaving aside, Jia Lan and Xia Yun Xi, Misha continued to cut Murong Qing Lian¡¯s nails as if in his world, Murong Qing Lian was the most important.
Seeing Misha like this, Jia Lan opened his mouth, but in the end, he still swallowed his words. The interaction of the two was caught by Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes.
Before, she had seen Jia Lan. At that time, Jia Lan saved her once at the tournament of the four countries from Murong Qi Qi. Besides, he said that he did it for someone else. Now, Jia Lan was together with Misha. Besides Misha said such inexplicable things; could it be that the person Jia Lan was referring to was Misha?
Murong Qing Lian was certainly, definitely sure that she had never seen this person called Misha. She couldn¡¯t have any intersection with him. Misha had certainly mistaken her for the wrong person.
Seeing Misha¡¯s beautiful face and the sincere smile on his face, Murong Qing Lian had some hesitation. This person was so good to her. Should she tell him that she¡¯s not the person he was looking for?
If she told Misha that she¡¯s not his ¡®Lian¡¯, would he still take care of her with such gentleness?
Thinking till here, in front of Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes suddenly appeared the situation in prison. Those whips beat her till her fleshcerated. The old scars weren¡¯t healed yet, when new scars were added.
If Misha knew that she wasn¡¯t ¡®Lian¡¯ and throws her back in prison, then what should she do? No! She didn¡¯t want it to be like that! She didn¡¯t want to live in that darkness anymore. She didn¡¯t want to live like an animal anymore!
Chapter 152 (Part 1) Misha’s test
Chapter 152 (Part 1) Misha¡¯s test
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart was undergoing a painful struggle.
On one side was the clean and clear eyes of the young man, making her unable to deceive him. However, on the other side, was her background...Xi Qi¡¯s prime minister Murong Tai had died. She¡¯s now an orphan and didn¡¯t have anyone to rely on. If she leaves Misha, she may not able to survive. Perhaps, she would be thrown back into prison and continue to live the tragic life of before.
Murong Qing Lian struggled for a long time between truth and lies, between being favored and being abused. When she saw the strong pampering feeling in Misha¡¯s eyes, Murong Qing Lian finally made a choice. She didn¡¯t want to live so petty and low. She would use this identity of ¡®Lian¡¯ to let herself rise up again.
While Murong Qing Lian was thinking, she didn¡¯t notice the strange radiance that shed in Misha¡¯s eyes as he looked at her.
At this time, a pretty but cold woman entered the room with a bowl of soup, ¡°Young master, the soup is done!¡±
¡°Thank you, Xia Xue!¡± Misha seemed to be kind and gentle to everyone, making Murong Qing Lian feel even more sure that relying on this man was the right thing to do.
So, this woman is called Xia Xue...Murong Qing Lian recalled the name Xia Xue. Previously, when Misha had returned with her, he¡¯d ordered Xia Xue to bathe her. Xia Xue rejected and said, ¡°I only serve young master¡±. Only then did Misha buy a new maid to serve Murong Qing Lian.
At that time, Murong Qing Lian was a bit puzzled as to how a ve could boldly reject an owner like that. Looking at Xia Xue, who had been putting on a cold face and didn¡¯t have any smiles, she ced Xia Xue in her heart. Now, she realised what her name really meant. Xue (snow) was very consistent with her personality.
Misha took the ck chicken soup from Xia Xue. He scooped up some with a spoon and fed it to Murong Qing Lian, ¡°Xia Xue¡¯s skills are the best. I believe that you will certainly like it!¡±
Misha¡¯s pure smile, coupled with his gentle tone, made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes get ayer of warm moisture.
It seemed that aside from her biological parents, Murong Tai and Liu Yan Zhi, no one else had ever treated her like this. Especially after arriving to Bei Zhou; after experiencing so many things, suddenly someone cared so much for her. The moisture in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes gathered together and became a vast ocean.
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Lian?¡±
Seeing this, Misha put down the bowl in his hand. He reached out and touched Murong Qing Lian¡¯s scarred face, ¡°Why are you crying?¡±
¡°Why are you so good to me?¡± The moment her words came out, Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t hold back her tears any longer and let them fall.
¡°Because I¡¯m your big brother, ah!¡± Murong Qing Lian¡¯s voice was slow but full of love and tenderness, as if he was a key that had been moulded to slowly open Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart.
¡°Big brother...,¡± Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t hold back and jumped into Misha¡¯s arms. ¡°Woo, woo, woo, big brother...¡±
Murong Qing Lian herself wasn¡¯t clear if this ¡®brother¡¯ hade from her heart or with ulterior motives. The only thing she knew now was that she needed the person in front of her. No matter if it was his gentleness or his power, these were all the things she needed.
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s tears stained Misha¡¯s shoulder. When Xia Xue saw this, she frowned slightly. Then, her expression became cold again. However, Misha, this involved party, merelyughed, ¡°Lian, you¡¯re already so big and you¡¯re still crying! It seems...that it has been many years since youst shed a tear. Now, you¡¯re like a child, making people reminisce, ah!¡±
Because she was certainly, definitely sure that she wanted to follow Misha, so she was particrly careful about every word that came from Misha. In particr, when he¡¯d said that this woman called Lian hadn¡¯t cried for a long time, Murong Qing Lian immediately left Misha¡¯s arms. She didn¡¯t take the time to care about the tears hurting her scars and roughly wiped her face twice.
¡°It¡¯s only because I know that I have a brother now, so I¡¯m very happy, very happy! Big brother, I won¡¯t cry in the future anymore!¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian acting like this, Misha smile was even more gentle. He reached out. His warm fingertips touched the whip marks on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face. ¡°Look at you, crying like a little cat. Need to apply medicine again!¡±
After Misha applied medicine on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face, the ck chicken soup now had the perfect warm temperature. In order to make Misha happy, Murong Qing Lian took the chicken soup and drank it with big gulps. After drinking it, Murong Qing Lian acted like a pet. She looked at Misha as if she was saying, see how well-behaved I am, am I not?!
In contrast to what Murong Qing Lian expected, on Misha¡¯s gentle face appeared a strange smile, ¡°Lian, you previously hated chicken soup the most, especially ck chicken soup. You said that a dark soup was like an herbal tea. You don¡¯t like drinking herbal teas...Why do you like ck chicken soup now?¡±
Oh no! Misha¡¯s words let Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heartbeat elerate. What should she do? She was eager to pretend to be ¡®Lian¡¯, but she had forgotten to understand the past of this woman called ¡®Lian¡¯. Now, she¡¯s about to reveal the cloven foot!
Reveal the cloven foot: to reveal a hidden purpose
Presumably, a cornered dog will jump over the wall. After a moment of surprise, Murong Qing Lian chuckled, ¡°Big brother, I already told you, I¡¯m not Lian, but you didn¡¯t believe me. I don¡¯t know who I am. I also don¡¯t know where I came from. Even more, I don¡¯t know my name or surname...I only remember the dark days of the prison. The endless beating every day. The other things, I don¡¯t know...¡±
A cornered dog will jump over the wall: to be driven to a desperate action
Had to say, the members of the Murong family all had great acting abilities. While saying these words, Murong Qing Lian bit her lips and tried very hard to hold back the tears that had gathered together. That stubborn and strong appearance was somewhat simr to a certain person from Misha¡¯s memory.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lian. It¡¯s big brother¡¯s fault!¡± This time, Misha took the initiative to put Murong Qing Lian in his arms. ¡°Big brother had forgotten that we¡¯d been separated for so long. So long, that Lian had forgotten me. So long, that Lian had even forgotten yourself.¡±
After finally breaking through this trial, Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart let out a sigh of relief, but her nerves were still tight. It seemed that she should pay more attention to this ¡®Lian¡¯s¡¯ information. She couldn¡¯t let Misha find out that she wasn¡¯t ¡®Lian¡¯.
¡°Big brother, what is my name?¡± Murong Qing Lian asked a question in a low muffled voice.
¡°Yi Lian...this was the name adoptive father gave you, because ¡®fondly attachment¡¯...¡±
ÒÁÁ« (y¨©li¨¢n): he/she lotus...is almost a homophone to ÒÀÁµ (y¨©li¨¤n): fondly attachment, not wish to part with, to cling to
While Misha said this, Murong Qing Lian could clearly sense the fondness and slight sweetness in this young man¡¯s voice. Could it be that ¡®Lian¡¯ was his little sister and lover? Since it was adoptive father, these two may not be biological siblings...
In just a moment, Murong Qing Lian thought she knew the truth about ¡®Lian¡¯¡¯s and Misha¡¯s rtionship. It seemed that she should make good use of this identity!
¡°Yi Lian is a nice name! In the future, my name is Yi Lian!¡±
Although Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face was covered in whip marks, but while saying the name ¡®Yi Lian¡¯, her smile was so innocent, making Misha¡¯s expression ease a lot.
¡°Lian, rest well! When you¡¯re better, big brother will take revenge for you!¡±
Afterforting Murong Qing Lian, Misha covered her in a nket. Xia Xue pushed Misha and they both left the room.
When the door was closed, Murong Qing Lian opened her eyes and let out of a sigh of relief. Finally, she had passed the test! Looking at the roof, Murong Qing Lian clenched her fists. When she was in the prison, she¡¯d been worried that she would die there and that no one would even im her bones. She didn¡¯t expect that a Misha would emerge and save her.
To her, Misha was her only opportunity. She must take advantage of this opportunity and live on with the identity of ¡®Yi Lian¡¯.
Xia Xue pushed Misha and walked slowly in the garden. Once they¡¯d walked far away and after a long silence, Xia Xue opened her mouth.
¡°Young master, is it her?¡±
Misha didn¡¯t directly answer Xia Xue¡¯s questions, but his fingers gently tapped the handle of the wheelchair. He changed the topic to Xia Yun Xi, ¡°How did princess Yun die?¡±
¡°Bei Zhou¡¯s consort De stabbed her to death because she killed second prince Wanyan Yi.¡± Xia Xue told Misha the case. After Misha heard the process, heughed, ¡°Xia Xue, what do you think Xia Jin would do? Will he take revenge for his daughter or swallow this?¡±
¡°What does young master hope for?¡± Like Misha, Xia Xue also evaded the question and threw it back to Misha. Seeing Xia Xue acting like this, Mishaughed. Under his thick eyshes, arge gloominess appeared.
¡°Depends on the mood...If the mood is good, then fight. If the mood is bad, then look at a y. I¡¯ve been idle for so long. It¡¯s time to find something to do!¡±
Misha¡¯s answer was a bit unscrupulous, but to Xia Xue, this was her master¡¯s true temperament.
Although Misha was Peni ind¡¯s great master Taixu¡¯s grand disciple, but great master Taixu went into seclusion a long time ago. Every affair on Peni Ind was handled by Misha. Everyone thought that he would be the next master of Peni Ind.
Naturally, Dong Lu¡¯s strength wasn¡¯tparable with Bei Zhou¡¯s. If they really fought, then Dong Lu would certainly need to ask for Peni Ind¡¯s help. By then, help or don¡¯t help, wasn¡¯t it just a word from her master?
In Misha¡¯s eyes, Xia Yun Xi¡¯s death was only the end of a human life. So, when she was cremated, only Jia Lan was present.
Looking at the raging fire wrapping Xia Yun Xi in front of him, Jia Lan felt a sense of sadness. Although Xia Yun Xi was only a disciple of Peni Ind by name and they usually didn¡¯t have much contact with each other, but a young life was lost so early, making people couldn¡¯t help but pity her. It was just, to say it was karma or retribution was a bit overboard. However, hadn¡¯t this been caused by her?
These past two days, the atmosphere in Bei Zhou¡¯s capital Yan capital was a bit strange. Wanyan Yi had died, Lin Ke Xin went crazy; in between was also the death of Dong Lu¡¯s princess. No one knew how this matter would develop. The officials also tried to figure it out many times. It was just, no one dared to say his thoughts out loud.
It was just a simple pce banquet, but it had ended in such tragedy. Although everyone had seen how the things had happened, but no one could have said for sure what kind of conspiracy was there behind these actions in the end. After all, Wanyan Yi had been the best candidate for the position of crown prince. Now, he¡¯s gone. People couldn¡¯t help but be suspicious of the biggest beneficiary of all this...Feng Cang.
¡°All are pigs!¡± After Murong Qi Qi heard some of the rumors, she revealed a mocking smile. ¡°If we had the intention to take this throne, it would¡¯ve been done by rebelling directly with an army! When was there a need to use such an underhanded method?! They¡¯re really humiliating our standards!¡±
In Chinese, pigs are used to describe someone stupid
¡°Alright, don¡¯t be angry anymore! If you get sick from anger, it wouldn¡¯t be beautiful!¡±
No matter how the rumors were outside, Feng Cang still continued on his path. At night, he would sneak into Long Autumn pce and then sneak out in the morning.
After jumping over the wall thest few times, Feng Cang seemed to have gotten an interest in jumping over walls that he never had before. Every time he came there, he was on time, so that the person in ck who was ¡®surveilling¡¯ them didn¡¯t have to guess when this Nan Lin wang 1 would appear and when he would leave.
Not only at night, during the day, after the morning court, the first thing for Feng Cang would do was also report at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s.
¡°I don¡¯t care about what the others think. I¡¯m only worried about ah Kang...That day, he didn¡¯te and wasn¡¯t present at the scene. He didn¡¯t see what had happened. If he heard those rumors, I¡¯m afraid that it will create a distance between you. After all, you were brothers who grew up together. I don¡¯t want you and ah Kang to break your friendship because of a misunderstanding!¡±
On the day of the pce banquet, Wanyan Kang happened to be sent away on a task by Wanyan Lie. He wasn¡¯t at the scene. Only when he returned, did he find out about what had happened at the pce banquet.
Murong Qi Qi hadn¡¯t seen Wanyan Kang these past two days. When she sent people to inquire, that person said that Wanyan Kang was keeping Lin Ke Xinpany at Jingxing Hall. Murong Qi Qi was worried about Wanyan Kang and even more worried that this matter would affect Wanyan Kang and Feng Cang¡¯s friendship.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t have many friends. It was hard toe by someone who cared about family and friendship the way Wanyan Kang did for Feng Cang. However, now he had to face a conflict between family and friendship. She didn¡¯t know if Wanyan Kang could look at this matter with a fair mentality.
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Seeing Murong Qi Qi worry about him, Feng Cang¡¯s heart felt warm. He gently kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face. ¡°You already said that I and ah Kang are brothers who grew up together. We would never separate.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words showed his stance. No matter what happened, he wouldn¡¯t stand at the opposite side of Wanyan Kang.
Seeing that Feng Cang really saw Wanyan Kang as a friend, Murong Qi Qi was very happy. She knew the loneliness of being at the top. So, for Feng Cang, having a sincere friendship was very precious to him. She hoped that Wanyan Kang would also treat Feng Cang the way Feng Cang treated him.
While the two were chatting, Su Yue said that Wanyan Kang hade. Hearing this news, Murong Qi Qi stood up happily, ¡°Quickly, let hime in!¡±
Wanyan Kang came in with a pair of red eyes. It was obvious that he hadn¡¯t sleep well. Plus, the fact that he¡¯d cried made this pair of handsome eyes look dispirited and listless now.
¡°Ah Kang, you came!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Kang once again, Murong Qi Qi was very happy. She quickly gave a nce to Su Yue to let her call Su Mei over.
¡°Cousin brother, cousin-inw...,¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice was a bit hoarse. Murong Qi Qi personally poured water for him. After drinking the water, Wanyan Kang seemed a lot better.
¡°How¡¯s your consort mother?¡± Murong Qi Qi knew that it¡¯s better for Feng Cang to not ask some things. She took the initiative to be the middleman and asked for news of Lin Ke Xin.
Hearing Murong Qi Qi mention Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Kangughed bitterly once. He shook his head, ¡°Consort mother doesn¡¯t drink and doesn¡¯t eat. She only held second big brother¡¯s clothes and kept calling second brother¡¯s name.¡±
Wanyan Kang gave a simple description of Lin Ke Xin¡¯s current situation. Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang could imagine what kind of scene that would be. Such a strong woman bing like this now was really like the day and night. However, if she hadn¡¯t manipted people, how could she have fallen to this point?!
Seeing Wanyan Kang¡¯s haggard look, Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but think back to Wanyan Kang¡¯s sad look at the sixth level test at the pagoda. Lin Ke Xin¡¯s heart only had her eldest son Wanyan Yi. When had she thought about the feelings of her youngest son?! Till now, what her heart was thinking about was still Wanyan Yi. How could Wanyan Kang not be sad?
¡°Cousin brother, cousin-inw, I came today to ask you one thing.¡±
After telling Lin Ke Xin¡¯s situation, Wanyan Kang¡¯s expression became a bit serious. His eyes also revealed a serious stubbornness.
As if he guessed that Wanyan Kang would say this, Feng Cang nodded, ¡°Ask, as long as I know it, I will tell you the truth.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s attitude made the firmness shake a bit, but after just a moment, he still gritted his teeth and asked the question that had been hovering in his heart for a long time, ¡°Was my second big brother¡¯s death caused by you?¡±
Chapter 152 (Part 2) Misha’s test
Chapter 152 (Part 2) Misha¡¯s test
After Wanyan Kang asked this question, it was obvious what he had heard. It seemed that some misunderstandings couldn¡¯t be avoided. Murong Qi Qi wanted to answer but was stopped by Feng Cang. Facing Wanyan Kang¡¯s questioning, Feng Cang looked calmly into his eyes. He answered with a simple word, ¡°No.¡±
After Feng Cang replied, Wanyan Kang¡¯s expression seemed to rx a bit. He pulled his mouth and forced a smile. His eyes had some guilt. Presumably, he felt that he shouldn¡¯t have asked Feng Cang such a question.
¡°Don¡¯t know why, but after hearing cousin brother say this, I feel like the heavy stone in my heart is now gone. I grew up with cousin brother. After so many years, I knew very well what kind of person cousin brother is. However, after seeing consort mother crying and screaming that cousin brother killed second big brother, my heart shook a bit...¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry. Previously, there was a time that I¡¯d doubted cousin brother. Really...I¡¯m very sorry!¡±
There was a saying that a real man doesn¡¯t cry easily, but when Wanyan Kang said ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯, his tears started rolling down.
¡°Compared to second big brother, my rtionship with cousin brother is better. I even saw cousin brother as my biological brother and neglected him (WY) a lot. Although I didn¡¯t like second big brother, but after all, he¡¯s my biological big brother. So, when I¡¯d heard the news of his death, I did suspect cousin brother...Now, after hearing cousin brother say that this wasn¡¯t done by you, I suddenly have the feeling of a heavy weight being lifted off my mind. I, I...¡±
Wanyan Kang began to choke on his voice. Feng Cang stepped forward and hugged Wanyan Kang, who was half a head shorter than him. ¡°I understand. Ah Kang, I don¡¯t me you!¡±
¡°Cousin brother...,¡± With red eyes, Wanyan Kang poured out all those emotions he¡¯d oppressed and suffered. ¡°Cousin brother, my big brother is dead. My mother went mad. I don¡¯t know what to do!¡±
Although Wanyan Kang always had a naughty and carefree look, but he was only a seventeen-year-old child. No matter who¡¯d encountered such a situation, it would be difficult to bear with it all.
Murong Qi Qi quietly retreated. She knew that this was male bonding time. For some things, they had their own solutions.
Su Mei stood outside the door. There were also tears in her beautiful eyes. Seeing Wanyan Kang like that made her heart ache a lot. She ached for such a helpless man!
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯tfort Su Mei. She only gently patted her (SM) shoulders. She left Long Autumn pce and went to Jinxuan pce to look for Dongfang Lan.
These days, Murong Qi Qi had be particrly close with her grandmother. Seeing here in with a dispirited and downcast look, Dongfang Lan quickly grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and asked what¡¯s the matter.
¡°Grandmother, Wanyan Yi has died. Consort De went mad. Ah Kang is very sad!¡±
Hearing her words, Dongfang Lan understood her meaning. Wanyan Kang and Feng Cang had a good rtionship. This was something everyone knew. However, Feng family and Wanyan Lie¡¯s grudges, sooner orter, these would need to be resolved. When that dayes, it would be a big question as to how these two brothers with a rtionship of iron would face this problem.
¡°Qi Qi, are you worried that if one day, you and Wanyan Lie stood on opposite sides, then it would be very difficult for Wanyan Kang, who stands in the middle?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want Feng Cang to lose his only friend.¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s head leaned against Dongfang Lan¡¯s legs. Don¡¯t know if it was because of the blood rtionship, but Murong Qi Qi felt veryfortable with Dongfang Lan. This elder, who had experienced big winds and waves, was like a mirror that let her (MQQ) see (understand) many things.
¡°Qi Qi, this is a difficult situation.¡± Dongfang Lan¡¯s old hands touched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body. ¡°Why don¡¯t I tell you a story?¡±
Murong Qi Qi immediately got interested after hearing that Dongfang Lan wanted to tell a story. She sat up, ¡°Grandmother, you want to tell a story, ah! Great, great! I want to hear!¡±
¡°That time was a long, long time ago...¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s voice was gentle and sounded with the great changes and profoundness of history. This story had been silent in her heart for a long, long time. Today, after hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, she suddenly remembered the story and decided to tell Murong Qi Qi.
¡°This story happened at Qin country. At that time, the three countries hadn¡¯t appeared yet. Qin country was the biggest country on this maind. Qin country had a general. The general got a daughter when he was forty. He took her as the pearl of his palm. The good friend of the general was also an official of the court. The good friend had a son. The two families¡¯ rtionship was good. They arranged a betrothal between the children...¡±
¡°One time, a nomadic ethic group caused a war. The general went to the war. The good friend apanied him. Originally, it was a battle of certain victory, but in the end, the general¡¯s good friend died unfathomably on the battle field. The good friend¡¯s son believed that it was the general who¡¯d caused his father¡¯s death. He endured it till the wedding day. He put poison in the wine for the father-inw, poisoning the general to death...¡±
¡°Then, what had happened?¡± Dongfang Lan¡¯s story piqued the interest of Murong Qi Qi. She sat up and stared at Dongfang Lan. She wanted to know how this plot would develop.
¡°The groom became the murderer of the father. The bride cut her hair and broke the feelings on the wedding night. She also seriously wounded the groom. That night, the injured groom fled the capital. Later, the bride married a high ranking military official under the general. After that, the three families split Qin. The bride became Bei Zhou¡¯s empress dowager...¡±
¡°Grandmother, it was you!¡± Murong Qi Qi eximed. ¡°This is your story?¡±
Dongfang Lan nodded. When she mentioned her past lover, Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes had a thing called ¡®love¡¯ in them. Seeing this ¡®love¡¯, Murong Qi Qi was a bit surprised. ¡°Grandmother, do you still hate him? He killed your father!¡±
¡°In the past, I hated him. Later, I don¡¯t hate him anymore. He had his reasons. I also had my difficulties. The murderer of one¡¯s father cannot live under the same sky. If he didn¡¯t avenge his father, then I would¡¯ve looked down on him! However, if he could¡¯ve said his reasons, we could¡¯ve looked together for the truth of his father¡¯s death. Things wouldn¡¯t have turned to such a bad situation.¡±
¡°Then, did great-grandfather really kill his father?¡±
¡°No.¡± Dongfang Lan shook her head. ¡°My father was an honest person and lived openly and candidly his whole life. He wasn¡¯t someone who would¡¯ve used such underhanded means and definitely wouldn¡¯t have used a ck hand on his good friend. The one who did it was someone else!¡±
¡°Who?¡±
¡°Wanyan Zhi. Before Wanyan Zhi passed away, he told me that he did everything that year. Only then, did I realise that we were all wrong.¡±
After Dongfang Lan said that, Murong Qi Qi was startled. Wanyan Zhi, wasn¡¯t he thete emperor? It was reasonable to say that she should call Wanyan Zhi grandfather.
¡°Wanyan Zhi was a small soldier under my father. Step by step, he climbed up and was held in very high regard by my father. Onlyter did I know that in order to get me, Wanyan Zhi didn¡¯t hesitate to incite disharmony in my rtionship with my fianc¨¦. Furthermore, he killed his father and manufactured contradiction between us. It was Wanyan Zhi who fanned the wind and ignited the fire at his ears that he ended up believing him...¡±
¡°Grandmother...¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s voice revealed a touch of sadness. Although she could hide the sorrow, but that old past still hit her heart.
¡°Qi Qi, I told you my story so that you can understand that friendship and love are the same. They all need sincerity. If he went to find my father and directly confronted him, we wouldn¡¯t have had such misunderstandings between us. We also wouldn¡¯t have separated because of the instigation of others.¡±
¡°Wanyan Kang is the friend you care about the most. On this matter, his identity is indeed very sensitive. However, aren¡¯t you friends? This matter also involves him. He has the right to know the truth. If you hide everything from him and let him stay out of it in the name of for his own good, then it would not be so close.¡±
The moment Murong Qi Qi heard Dongfang Lan, she knew that she (DL) was telling her what to do in a roundabout way.
¡°Grandmother, I know how to deal with the rtionship between ah Kang and I! Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything that I will regret!¡±
Dongfang Lan was very happy that Murong Qi Qi understood with only one hint. She didn¡¯t want Wanyan Lie¡¯s matter to affect the rtionship between Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang. The hatred of the parents shouldn¡¯t continue on in the children. When will the injustice and hatred end? If it could end with them, then that would be the best.
In the end, Murong Qi Qi askedughingly, ¡°Grandmother, the person you love the most in this lifetime, was it the him of that year or grandfather?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s him. The things he brought me, no matter if it was happiness, blessings, sadness or sorrow, all was carved in the bones and engraved in the heart. In my life until death, I won¡¯t forget him!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes wet. She said her goodbyes to Dongfang Lan and left Jinxuan pce. Murong Qi Qi walked in the broad pce. The tears couldn¡¯t be blocked any longer and fell.
Godfather, did you hear? Grandmother has always remembered you. Whether she was ady or someone else¡¯s bride, her heart always had you!
Before sir Mozun passed away, he repeatedly reminded Murong Qi Qi that she needed to go to Bei Zhou and help him find a woman called Dongfang Lan.
Godfather said that the most regrettable thing in his life was that he¡¯d killed Dongfang Lan¡¯s father and let her lose the family who¡¯d loved her the most in this world. And his biggest regret in this life was not being able to be her groom, to care and protect her for life.
He hated himself for being timid and didn¡¯t even have the courage to go see her. He could only hide in the dark world and look at her from afar. Only one nce was enough.
Now, after hearing everything of the past from Dongfang Lan, Murong Qi Qi conveyed Dongfang Lan¡¯s words to Mozun in her heart. She hoped that godfather would know from down there and let go of the knot in his heart. The woman he¡¯d loved for so many years didn¡¯t forget him. To him, presumably this was also a happiness!
Don¡¯t know how much time had passed, but on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s body appeared ayer of warmth. She turned around. It was Feng Cang who¡¯de with a coat in search of her.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tear-stained face, Feng Cang was startled, ¡°Qing Qing, what had happened? Who bullied you?¡±
¡°No one!¡± Murong Qi Qi shook her head, but her tears fell harder.
¡°What had happened?¡± He didn¡¯t care that there was people behind him. Feng Cang pulled Murong Qi Qi in his arms, ¡°You don¡¯t want to say it, then I won¡¯t force you. However, you need to know, no matter what happens, I would stay at your side, trust you unconditionally and never leave you!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s promise made Murong Qi Qi feel warm. If in the past, godfather could¡¯ve trusted Dongfang Lan like this, then would they not have separated and so many tragedies would not have urred?
At this side, Murong Qing Lian acted very carefully every day and tried her best to figure out Misha¡¯s mind. She wanted to ace the role of ¡®Lian¡¯ and get Misha¡¯s approval. Only when Misha approves of her and lets her stay, would she then be able to get rid of the past circumstances and begin a new life, step by step.
¡°Lian, look!¡± Misha gave Murong Qing Lian a ck item made from iron. ¡°This is my gift to you. Do you like it?¡±
Murong Qing Lian weighed the ck thing Misha had given her in her hands. It was a bit heavy and cold. It was made from iron. However, she didn¡¯t know what use this thing had.
¡°Big brother, what is this?¡±
¡°Lian, this is a gun, ah! Didn¡¯t you like to y with guns the most in the past?¡± Misha looked innocently at Murong Qing Lian. His beautiful eyes shed. Iid in his white and soft face, they were as bright as the stars in the sky.
¡°Gun?! Oh, I remembered! Mm, in the past, I did indeed liked guns very much! Big brother, did you make it? So awesome! Big brother is so awesome!¡±
Murong Qing Lian swore that she had never seen this kind of strange thing. ck with a weird shape. This thing was actually liked by ¡®Lian¡¯? How to use it?
Although in her heart she was thinking that, but Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t reveal it. Instead, she showed an infinite interest in the gun. While she yed with it in her hands, she continued to praise how awesome Misha was. This was a move she had been using most often recently, but it was extremely useful. Every time she said this, Misha seemed very happy.
¡°Lian, do you really like it? Then, try it! I made it ording to my hand. I don¡¯t know if it would be suitable for you! Next time, I will make one ording to your hand, what do you think?¡±
¡°Great! Thank you, big brother! Big brother is the best!¡± Murong Qing Lian said this, but her hands didn¡¯t know how to fiddle with it. This so-called gun was the strangest thing she had ever seen. How to use this thing?
Chapter 153 Fake faced Misha (1)
Chapter 153 Fake faced Misha (1)
Murong Qing Lian wanted to find the answer from Misha¡¯s face, but Misha still had a clean and gentle smile. Nothing could be seen from it. It seemed, this time, to drive a duck onto a perch, she had no choice but to stake it all!
To drive a duck onto a perch: to push somebody to do something beyond their ability
Murong Qing Lian grabbed the cylinder of the gun, but her heartbeat was a mess. She had never seen this ¡®gun¡¯. Could it be a thing to smash other things? Murong Qing Lian clutched the cylinder of the gun and knocked the table with the butt of the gun. In her heart, she believed that this was something simr to a hammer, but it wasn¡¯t as easy to use as a hammer.
Misha smiled gently. His expression hadn¡¯t changed. Murong Qing Lian saw Misha like this, she was surer that she guessed right! It seemed that god stood on her side and was biased towards her!
¡°Big brother, look, it¡¯s used like this!¡± Murong Qing Lian proudly raised the gun in her hand.
¡°Mm, very well!¡± Misha took the gun in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s hand. His fingers gently stroked the cylinder of the gun. ¡°If the person who invented the gun saw you like this, he would certainly find it funny...¡±
¡°Big brother...¡±
Even if Murong Qing Lian was very stupid, she heard the unspoken implication of those words. She was startled for a moment, then sheughed embarrassingly. ¡°Big brother, presumably it had been too long. I don¡¯t remember how to use it, so I became unfamiliar with it. Let me think a bit more. Let me try...¡±
Murong Qing Lian wanted to get the gun back from Misha¡¯s hand, but she was stopped by him. Misha took the gun and pointed it at Murong Qing Lian. The wheelchair came closer in her direction, ¡°Even if you¡¯ve forgotten everything, then, you should at least remember how you died!¡±
¡°Big brother...¡±
Don¡¯t know why, Murong Qing Lian sensed an unprecedented coldness from Misha. Although, his smile was still the same, but that pair of clear eyes was surging.
¡°Pa...,¡± Misha narrowed his eyes and aimed at Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart. He made a gun sound. Seeing that he was like a different person, Murong Qing Lian went nk. She didn¡¯t say anything, afraid that if she made a mistake, Misha would get angry.
Seeing Murong Qing Lian¡¯s timid look, Mishaughed out loudly.
¡°So funny! Hahahaha!¡± Mishaughed and even had to bend his body. His tears fell from the corner of his eyes on his disabled legs. Heughed too much that his breath couldn¡¯t keep up. Only after he choked twice did he stopughing.
¡°In my past life, I hated people deceiving me the most. To this life, I still hate being lied to.¡± Misha raised his head. A smile still hung on his mouth, but his face was like it came from an icehouse. It was stiff and cold without any emotion.
¡°Before finding you, I did a test on Peni Ind. Two female disciples passed, but they were very honest and generously admitted that they aren¡¯t Lian. So, I didn¡¯t make things difficult for them...¡±
¡°Do you know how much I wanted to see you when I heard Jia Lan say that you were the first one to arrive at the seventh floor of the pagoda? From Peni Ind to here, it took more than a month on water. The moment I came on shore, without stopping to rest, I rushed to meet Jia Lan. Then, I rushed to Bei Zhou. I just wanted to know if you¡¯re the person I was looking for.¡±
¡°In fact, from the first time Iy my eyes on you, I knew you weren¡¯t her. However, I still brought you here; do you know why?¡±
¡°I...,¡± Murong Qing Lian felt air choke in her heart, making it very ufortable to breath. She couldn¡¯t swallow it nor spit it out.
She never imagined that from the beginning, Misha already know that she was a fake. However, why didn¡¯t he expose her? Why did he watch her act like a clown? Why?!
Murong Qing Lian¡¯s question soon got the answer from Misha.
¡°When adoptive father brought Yi Lian, she was only five years old. She was so dirty like a worn out doll. And you, the image of that day was like the first time I saw Yi Lian. So, I gotpassion and brought you back. You must thank Yi Lian. It was she who saved you!¡±
Misha didn¡¯t look at Murong Qing Lian, but he had been staring at the gun in his hand.
Probably, because he stayed long-term in the wheelchair and couldn¡¯t exercise, Misha was very thin. Even his fingers were very slim. He gently stroked the gun in his hand. So focussed, so serious as if this gun was his only treasure. Misha¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t as gentle as before. Instead it had a bit of coldness in it, making Murong Qing Lian frightened. She didn¡¯t know what she would face next.
The gentleness of this young man was all pretense. Hepiled arge web and looked at her struggling and bouncing in the web. He apuded and went along, but didn¡¯t expose and didn¡¯t unmask her. Now, he was like this, did it mean that his patience was gone? Then, would he kill her?
Murong Qing Lian grasped the cor of her clothes. Her face was pale.
Don¡¯t know why, but now she felt that Misha was very frightening! To be more exact, Misha had always been frightening. Before, he was like a gentle milk, warming her heart. Now, he let her know that all of this was a pretense. What was it that would make a person pretend so wlessly? Could it be that those gentleness and warmth in his eyes could also be pretended?
Misha didn¡¯t want to know Murong Qing Lian¡¯s emotions and also had no interest or care in them. He only cared about the person he cares about. As for Murong Qing Lian, she was just a ything for when he had the interest. Looking at her unceasingly exchanged the four types of human emotions, was nothing more than to let his life be a bit livelier.
Four types of human emotions: happiness, anger, sorrow and joy
¡°I lived ten years with Yi Lian. When I was twenty, she was fifteen. At that time, we already went our different ways and had different lifestyles. However, we would go every year to adoptive father¡¯s home to spend the Spring festivals (Chinese New Year). I saw how Yi Lian turned from a crying little girl full of snot to a slender and elegant woman who caught many people¡¯s eyes. My heart also began to beat for her!¡±
Misha reminisced bit by bit about the good times of the past. Murong Qing Lian saw a thing called ¡®happiness¡¯ from his face. Now, she knows how stupid she was. She actually wanted to use the identity of ¡®Yi Lian¡¯ and continue living in her (YL) disguise. She didn¡¯t know, in Misha¡¯s eyes, she was just a clown-like character.
Although this young man¡¯s voice turned cold after exposing her, but every time when Misha said ¡®Yi Lian¡¯, Murong Qing Lian could hear the deep love from his voice.
At this time, Murong Qing Lian was envious of this woman called ¡®Yi Lian¡¯ from the bottom of her heart. Although, she didn¡¯t understand many things from the content Misha told her, but she could feel the deep love Misha had for Yi Lian.
Thinking about her own encounters, Murong Qing Lianughed bitterly once. Before, she was set up by Murong Xin Lian and had been dirtied by Wanyan Hong. Then, she, the victim was put into prison by Wanyan Lie who didn¡¯t distinguish between right and wrong, making her bear the pain of the flesh daily...Everything she experienced was things ordinary people couldn¡¯t imagine.
Misha searched everywhere for Yi Lian. No matter what kind of ways he used, even if he may kill her (MQL), but the real care he had for Yi Lian still let Murong Qing Lian be touched.
Misha cared so much about that woman called Yi Lian, then what about her (MQL)?! When she was in pain, where was the person she liked?
She liked Longze Jing Tian so much, but he wasn¡¯t a bit concerned about her and paid no attention to her. Now, presumably Longze Jing Tian had already returned to Xi Qi! All her heart thought about and missed was him, but what about him? Who was the person he thought about and missed?
Murong Qing Lian recalled her experiences aftering to Bei Zhou. She didn¡¯t notice that the gun in Misha¡¯s hand was pointing at her head. Until when the coldness from her temple spread to her skin, did Murong Qing Lian wake up. Now, Misha face was already in front of her. So close, that she could count the eyshes on his beautiful eyes.
¡°You pretended to be the woman I love to deceive my feelings. Tell me, how should I punish you? Mm...¡±
The elongated tone from Misha¡¯s made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart made a ¡®thud¡¯ sound once and froze there. After being yed by this man for so long, Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t distinguish clearly if he was good or evil. She also didn¡¯t know which one was the real him.
Anyway, it was just the death. Although, Murong Qing Lian was unwilling to die at Misha¡¯s hand, but she epted. At least, these past few days, Misha gave her a beautiful dream; let her see the hope to continue living and also let her have a purpose. Dying here was at least clean. It was a lot better than dying in the smelly prison.
¡°My life is here. You can take it any time! I only have one request. When I¡¯m dead, burn me to ashes and bury me on a mountain facing the west. So, I can look at Xi Qi and look at my hometown.¡±
Murong Qing Lian raised her head. She closed her eyes. The eyshes on the closed eyelids trembled slightly. She was afraid, but on the surface, she still pretended to be calm. Seeing Murong Qing Lian like this, Misha chuckled. He retrieved the gun.
¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t kill you...¡±
After hearing Misha, Murong Qing Lian opened her eyes. She looked in disbelief at Misha. She didn¡¯t dare to believe that Misha would let her off like this. Just now, she saw the strong killing intent in Misha¡¯s eyes. He was truly going to kill her!
¡°I have a lot of ways to let someone die, but I¡¯m better at letting people feel like living is more painful than death!¡±
He didn¡¯t wait for Murong Qing Lian to understand, a silver light shed in Misha¡¯s hand. Two needles made from bones pierced into Murong Qing Lian¡¯s shoulder de.
¡°Ah...¡± A piercing pain let Murong Qing Lian scream.
That bone needle pierced into the gap between her bones. Every time she breathed, Murong Qing Lian could feel the bone needle went a bit deeper and pried open her shoulder de. It mercilessly drilled inside, making her unable not to slow the frequency of her breathing to reduce the pain the bone needle brought her.
¡°Not bad! The ability to adapt is quite fast!¡± Misha smiled and returned to the gentle him of before as if what had happened was only a nightmare of Murong Qing Lian. He was still an innocent young man. His voice was gentle like warm milk without any impurities.
¡°Why don¡¯t you directly kill me...,¡± Murong Qing Lian had never experienced such pain. Although, before, she was beaten hundred times every day in the prison, but that was only the pain of the flesh. Compared with this pain that came from the bones, it paled into an insignificance byparison.
Now, Murong Qing Lian finally understood what kind of feeling was Misha¡¯s ¡®living is more painful than death¡¯. That kind of numbness and heaviness spread from the shoulder. Inch by inch her shoulders lost consciousness. When she felt something was wrong, she was already unable to lift her hands.
¡°I think, you presumably don¡¯t know what the paralysis of the upper body is. Your people of this era presumably don¡¯t know...So, I specifically let you have a taste of it. It won¡¯t take long before your whole body, aside from your head, would be like your hands and would gradually lose consciousness until there is no feeling.¡±
¡°No! I don¡¯t want it to be like that!¡±
Although, Murong Qing Lian couldn¡¯t fully understand what Misha had said, but she could understand his meaning. If other parts aside from the head couldn¡¯t move, then wasn¡¯t it that she would be no different from trash? She didn¡¯t want to be trash. No! Rather than being a trash, it would be better to die fast!
¡°Don¡¯t be like this...¡±
Aware that Murong Qing Lian wanted to bite her tongue, Xia Xue who was next to Misha, pried her mouth open. She stuffed a piece of wood to keep her mouth open, so, her teeth couldn¡¯te together and she wouldn¡¯t be able to bite her tongue.
¡°You¡¯re not a bit well-behaved, yo!¡± Misha pushed the wheelchair a few steps back.
¡°Only weak people will choose suicide to end their own lives. You want to use suicide to end all of this, but you need to ask me first! If I¡¯m unhappy and let your whole body be paralyzed, then you willpletely continue to live on like a rubbish! By then, I will throw you on the street and let everyone see how Murong household¡¯s fourth miss looks like. You say, how would people evaluate you?¡±
Murong Qing Lian knew that Misha wasn¡¯t scaring her.
This man had the means and had the ability. What he said, he could do. it was not a simple joke. The thought that she wouldy on the ground like rubbish, receiving the gazes with despise from the people¡¯s eyes, being ridiculed and maybe even insulted, Murong Qing Lian gave up the idea of suicide.
Forget it, she epted her fate! Falling into Misha¡¯s hands, she could only be manipted by him!
¡°Really well-behaved. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to die!¡±
Misha sawpromise from Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes. He gave Xia Xue a nce. Xia Xue went forward and took out the wood in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s mouth and took out the bone needles in her shoulders.
Without the stimtion of the bone needles, Murong Qing Lian felt the pain was relieved a lot. With the bone needle pulled away, the numbness on her body disappeared. It seemed that Misha wanted to try to truly torture her, but it was to give her a deterrence to let her fear and also surrender.
¡°Say, what do you want to get from me?¡±
The difference in Misha¡¯s treatment and his merciless torture of just now, made Murong Qing Lian be clear of one reality. That was, in Misha¡¯s eyes, she¡¯s a very insignificant existence. Whether it was the gentleness and consideration of before or the coldness and ruthlessness of now, she was just a ything in his hands. She couldn¡¯t even bepared to a ything. She was just an existence like an ant.
Murong Qing Lian came at things like this made Misha very satisfied. He handed the gun in his hand to Xia Xue. With his hands crossed, he leaned against the chair.
¡°I want to know everything that happened at the tournament of the four countries. Especially, everything that happened after you entered the pagoda...¡±
Murong Qing Lian wasn¡¯t a fool. Misha must have his reasons for asking this. Could it be that the person Misha was looking for was a contestant of the tournament?
¡°You want to find Yi Lian, that was why you brought me back, isn¡¯t it?! Are you so sure that Yi Lian was among the contestants?¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯ The moment Murong Qing Lian¡¯s words fell, the wood in Xia Xue¡¯s hand directly hit Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face. This wood was small and exquisite. It was only the size of a palm of the hand. Using it to beat people, won¡¯t let your hand hurt, but it would inflict serious damage on the other party.
¡°Cough, cough...,¡± Murong Qing Lian spit out two blood stained teeth. It couldn¡¯t be seen that this Xia Xue was so ruthless. Her mouth had been cracked. Her left face was very swollen. Her mouth was full of the taste of blood.
¡°Just answer whatever young master asks. Don¡¯t waste young master¡¯s time.¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s voice was cold without any emotions. After hearing Xia Xue, Murong Qing Lianughed. Whileughing, blood came out of the corner of her mouth. Coupled with the original scars on her face, she looked more hideous.
¡°Who do you think you are?! Now, it¡¯s your young master who is begging me. You don¡¯t serve me well and still treat me like this? Then...kill me! Don¡¯t think you can get anything from me!¡±
Murong Qing Lian faced death with equanimity. She thought about it clearly. Sooner orter, she would die after falling into Misha¡¯s hands. She couldn¡¯t be casually tortured. If Xia Xue treated her like this, she would just be a dead pig doesn¡¯t fear scalding water and let them toss around! It was just, Misha wouldn¡¯t get any valuable information from her.
A dead pig doesn¡¯t fear scalding water: unaffected
¡°Looking for death!¡± Xia Xue raised her hand and pped Murong Qing Lian¡¯s right cheek.
If that p from before, Xia Xue only used fifty percent of her strength, now she used eighty percent. The reason she didn¡¯t use hundred percent was because she was worried that if she used full strength, she would¡¯ve killed Murong Qing Lian. So, she held back some strength.
This p made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s mind make a ¡®weng¡¯ sound. In front of her eyes, were gold little stars. Her nose felt a warmth. Hot blood flew out.
Murong Qing Lian got a burst of dizziness. Both sides of her cheeks were swollen, so that her eyes narrowed into a narrow slit. Just when Murong Qing Lian wanted to let herself sober up, from her ears came the gentle and long voice of Misha.
¡°I forgot to tell you. Aside from hating people lying to me, I also hate to be threatened. To talk conditions with me, you should at least have the same strength as I do.¡±
Now, she finally knows the difficulties to deal with Misha. This person wore a lovely and normal face and always maintained a clean and pure smile, but his heart was harder than anyone else¡¯s. It seemed, she was mistaken. She simply didn¡¯t have the qualifications to talk about conditions with such a person.
¡°Good, I will talk...¡±
Murong Qing Lian waspletely woken up by Xia Xue¡¯s two ps. Looking at Misha¡¯s smiling face again, in Murong Qing Lian¡¯s heart raised a fear she never had before. This man waspletely different from the ones she encountered. She could only follow his rules...
While at Misha¡¯s, Murong Qing Lian remembered what happened at the tournament of the four countries, at Feng Cang¡¯s Nan Lin wangfu1, a special guest arrived.
1. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
Chapter 154 Fake faced Misha (2)
Chapter 154 Fake faced Misha (2)
¡°It¡¯s you...,¡± When Feng Cang saw the man in purple in front of him, he was very surprised.
That day on the banquet, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s attitude was very clear. He said that he would give up on Murong Qi Qi. Why would hee look for him now in private? Could it be to persuade him?
Not waiting for Feng Cang to think it through, Ming Yue Cheng stepped on the clogs and came to him, ¡°Nan Lin wang1 seemed very surprised at seeing me! It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t wee me, right?!¡±
Feng Cang wanted to deny, but the result was that he couldn¡¯t help but nod. Seeing Feng Cang being so direct, Ming Yue Chengughed, ¡°Nan Lin wang is really a straightforward person. No wonder, she would like you.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng mentioned the woman they both love inmon made Feng Cang¡¯s mood loosen slightly, ¡°Your majesty, this way please!¡±
¡°If you like, you can call me by my name. I also want to call you Feng Cang!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s temper made Feng Cang began to understand why Murong Qi Qi would be friends with this person. He¡¯s indeed a frank and straightforward person,
¡°No problem!¡±
Feng Cang led Ming Yue to the study. Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t expect that there was one more person here...Murong Qi Qi.
When she saw Ming Yue Cheng behind Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi nodded with a smile, ¡°Take a seat! When I¡¯m done, I¡¯lle over!¡± Murong Qi Qi was checking Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s ounts. In front of her was an abacus made from pure gold. It made crackling knocking sound apanied with a shining golden light, making Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes almost dazed.
¡°What, is it that you think I¡¯m too luxurious?¡± While Murong Qi Qi fiddled with the beads of the abacus, she chatted with Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°Earning money is for spending it. These ounts are tooplicated. Looking at it will make me get a headache. Using a gold abacus can stimte my brain. Speaking of it, inside here there¡¯s your twenty percent...¡±
Murong Qi Qi said everything clear and logically. Ming Yue Cheng could only shake his head helplessly. This woman was always justified. He couldn¡¯t win from her!
After sitting for a moment, Ming Yue Cheng said the reason why he came, ¡°I came today is because I want to understand one matter with Feng Cang. Do you have a gu inside of you? Is it that it had been a long time? That day on the pce banquet, I saw that yourplexion wasn¡¯t right, so I paid a little attention to it. You also know that Nan Feng¡¯s Tibetan ethic group are specialized in using gu. My empress mother is a member of Tibetan ethnic group, so, I also know about some of the gu. I hope it would be some help for you!¡±
The arrival of Ming Yue Cheng was beyond Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s expectations. His purpose was even more surprising to the two. Before, Murong Qi Qi was thinking to look for an opportunity to go find Ming Yue Cheng and see if he could provide some information about the gu poison. She didn¡¯t expect that he actually came today for that.
¡°Ming Yue, you have a way, isn¡¯t it?¡± Murong Qi Qi stood up excitedly. She walked in two or three steps to Ming Yue Cheng. Her beautiful eyes looked at his face, making Ming Yue Cheng almost lose his soul.
The woman in front of him is the one he loves, but her every happiness, every anger, every smile and every annoyance wasn¡¯t because of him but it was for another man. This made Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart very sad.
Although he was sad, but while facing Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Cheng still smiled, ¡°If I can cure Feng Cang, how will you repay me?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words let Feng Cang frown. He reached out and pulled Murong Qi Qi into his arms, ¡°What do you want? As long as it¡¯s within my ability, I will certainly satisfy you. If you want to set your thoughts on her, even if I die, I will not ept (the treatment)!¡±
Feng Cang showed his overbearing and strong attachment to Murong Qi Qi, making Ming Yue Cheng understand that the man in front of him, had the same heart as him towards Murong Qi Qi. Suddenly, the concern he had, lessened a bit.
¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous! I only want her to increase my twenty percent of the profits of the Nan four states a bit. For example, forty percent, what do you think? I can¡¯t get the person, you can¡¯t let me not get the person, not get the money and be empty-handed, right?!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng showed a frivolous attitude, making Feng Cang¡¯s rx a bit. When Murong Qi Qi heard the conditions Ming Yue Cheng proposed, she immediately nodded and epted, ¡°As long as you can cure him, I will give fifty percent!¡±
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude was like this, it made Ming Yue Chengugh. Their feelings for each other must be very deep. That was why they would consider for each other like this! It seemed, that even if he wanted to stick a needle in the gap, he couldn¡¯t stick inside...
¡°Asking Feng Cang to please answer me first. When did you get the gu? Usually, when will it act? What are the symptoms when the poison is acting?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression turned serious. Feng Cang told him truthfully about the process.
¡°Come, let me check for you!¡± Ming Yue Cheng put his hand on Feng Cang¡¯s wrists. After a long while did Ming Yue Cheng release his hand, ¡°It¡¯s indeed a gu. It¡¯s the mother-child gu! You already have the child gu for ten years in you. To be able to lift the child gu, you must find the mother gu.¡±
¡°After finding the mother gu, use the mother gu to lead the child gu out. Then, use hot oil to burn the mother and child gu to ashes at the same time. The gu poison will be eliminated. Then, slowly nurse back your body to health. Your body will get better.¡±
What Ming Yue Cheng said was something Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi already know. ¡°Now, the only thing we¡¯re not certain about is the mother gu. We don¡¯t know where the mother gu is.¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Cheng frowned. He recalled the appearance of Wanyan Lie when he saw him. Ming Yue Cheng got a bold assumption, ¡°When I arrived, I discovered that your emperor Wanyan Lie also has gu in his body. I don¡¯t know if the gu in his body is the mother gu you¡¯re searching for. If it is, then it would be very simple.¡±
At this time, Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang exchanged a nce. If the mother gu they¡¯re searching for is really in Wanyan Lie¡¯s body, then Wanyan Lie truly is a sicko! He actually put the mother gu in his own body. Could it be that he really hated Feng Cang so much?
The expressions on these two people¡¯s face made Ming Yue Cheng guess out some things. It seemed that Nan Lin wang wasn¡¯t as favored by Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor as he outside world thought. It turned out that no matter which country, the things of an imperial family were not as beautiful as seen on the surface.
¡°The mother gu will absorb the nutrients of the body. An adult mother gu will suck all the nutrients of the body in about half year and would need to change a host. If the mother gu is really in Wanyan Lie¡¯s body, it hasn¡¯t been there for a long time. Besides the former hosts of the mother gu should be dead now.¡±
It turned out that gu¡¯s were such scary creatures! Murong Qi Qi was fearful. They really had little understanding of the mother gu. Now, after hearing Ming Yue Cheng exin in detail, did they understand what kind of creatures gu¡¯s were.
¡°Ming Yue, how to lead the mother gu out? How to use the mother gu to lead out the child gu?¡±
¡°The person who put the gu would use a special whistle to control the gu. As long as we can find this whistle, everything would be solved. However, a whistle is not used universally. One whistle could only control one gu. If you¡¯re certain that the gu in Wanyan Lie¡¯s body is the mother gu, then you must find the whistle that controls the mother gu. Otherwise, even if you kill Wanyan Lie, it won¡¯t be of any use.¡±
Before, Murong Qi Qi thought that as long they find the mother gu and kill it, they would be able to solve the child gu in Feng Cang¡¯s body. She didn¡¯t expect that the mother-child gu is so different from the gu¡¯s she came in contact with. It was actually soplicated.
¡°Thank you!¡± Feng Cang thanked Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°We¡¯ll find a way to find the whistle.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s answer affirmed the doubts in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart. It seemed that the gu on Wanyan Lie¡¯s body was indeed the mother gu. However, to determine where the mother gu is, the first thing to do was to find the whistle that controlled the mother gu. This matter shouldn¡¯t be difficult for Feng Cang.
¡°Recently, I¡¯m not busy. I can stay and help you. When you find the mother gu, I know how to control it. Why don¡¯t you hand me the task of destroying the mother-child gu? I mean if...you believe in me!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s voice just fell when Murong Qi Qi nodded and epted. She looked at Feng Cang, ¡°Cang, what do you think?¡±
¡°Qing Qing believes in Ming Yue, I believe in Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang smiled and held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. All speech was left in what was not said.
Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s rtionship made Ming Yue Cheng envious. Perhaps, he wouldn¡¯t have such a love in this lifetime. Although, he was very regretful, but when Murong Qi Qi said that word ¡®good¡¯, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart was very wide and open. Everything was worth for this word ¡®good¡¯.
¡°Thank you for your trust! If there¡¯s need of my help, I¡¯m avable any time.¡± Ming Yue Cheng said this Murong Qi Qi. No matter what, this woman gave him this world¡¯s most precious trust. He also need to be able to live up to it.
At this time, Ming Yue Cheng had many questions. He wanted to ask Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi in person. For example, they are siblings; could it be that they aren¡¯t afraid of the constraints of morals. Are they not worried that their romance would get out and that it would cause a great uproar?
These questions hovered in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart for a long time. However, when he saw that the look in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s eyes when looking at each other were so firm, Ming Yue Cheng swallowed the questions that were on his lips. If it was true love, why care about those norms and constraints?!
The three reached an agreement on the matter of the mother-child gu. Feng Cang personally sent Ming Yue Cheng out.
Without anyone around, the two walked very slowly. No one spoke. It was unusually quiet. Only the clogs on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s feet made ¡®kaka¡¯ sounds.
After a very long time, Feng Cang opened his mouth first, ¡°I know that you helped me because of her, but I still want to thank you!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng only chuckled at Feng Cang¡¯s gratitude. The purple hairband hung on the ear and lightly went with the wind.
¡°My empress mother once said, the highest state of loving someone is not about giving her happiness, but be able to walk away when seeing that she¡¯s happy. My empress mother¡¯s whole life was full of tragedies. I don¡¯t want the woman I love be like my empress mother.¡±
Talking till here, Ming Yue Cheng suddenly stopped. He faced Feng Cang and looked at him with a serious expression, ¡°You were right. Everything I did is because of Qi Qi. I only wish that she can be happy!¡±
¡°If you die young because of the gu poison, although I can have one rival less and can take your stead to care for her, but I don¡¯t want her heart, her memories to be full of your shadow in her future days. Like that, I will lose my mind and go mad! Instead of hurting her because of jealousy, it¡¯s better to let you live well and take care of her for me.¡±
After saying this, Ming Yue Cheng suddenly turned around. With his back facing Feng Cang, he freely waved to Feng Cang, ¡°Go back! Don¡¯t need to send me! It would be alright if you reward be heavily afterwards! I like old wine the most. Remember to prepare a hundred jar for me!¡±
Watching Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s purple figure disappear, Feng Cang was finally certain that this person was like how Murong Qi Qi described. He¡¯s a real man. He (FC) didn¡¯t expect that he (MYC) was actually so easygoing!
¡°Don¡¯t worry! What I have here the most is wine! By then, I¡¯ll personally drink wine with you. Not going home if we aren¡¯t drunk!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice spread to the far away Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ear. Although, he (FC) was talking about wine, but Ming Yue Cheng knows that this was Feng Cang¡¯s promise to him. He (FC) will certainly take care of Murong Qi Qi this whole lifetime. This was enough...
At the pce, after Wanyan Yi died, Wanyan Lie was a bit down.
Wanyan Hong was disposed and imprisoned at the South Mansion. Wanyan Yi died at Xia Yun X¡¯s hands. Now, he couldn¡¯t count on two sons. Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart suddenly got a lot older.
Without Wanyan Yi, some officials supported to free Wanyan Hong and let him continue be the crown prince. However, how could Wanyan Lie not know what kind of character Wanyan Hong was? The crown prince is the future emperor. Wanyan Hong wasn¡¯tpetent for this position. He didn¡¯t want Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen to sink into fire because of his decision.
The crown prince¡¯s position being vacant was not a good thing. Because of Wanyan Yi¡¯s matter, Xia Yun Xi died at Bei Zhou. This made Wanyan Lie worry very much. If Dong Lu was unwilling to forgive and even start a war, then it would be aborious matter.
Outside, there were many rumors about this matter. It was nothing more than saying that the one behind it was Feng Cang. He didn¡¯t want to marry Xia Yun Xi. It happened that he could use Wanyan Yi and kill two birds with one stone, getting rid of these two people.
Without Wanyan Yi aspetitor, Feng Cang was one step closer to the throne. If Dong Lu wants tounch war because of Xia Yun Xi¡¯s matter, Feng Cang can lead the troops and go to battle. With his grip on the power, even if Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t want to make him the crown prince, he could also lead the army to revolt...
Wanyan Lie heard these, but he didn¡¯t put it in his heart.
Feng Cang revolt? Wanyan Lie wouldn¡¯t believe it. A few years ago, he had given Feng Cang the opportunity to revolt. He gave Bei Zhou¡¯s military power to Feng Cang. It was to stir up contradiction between his princes and Feng Cang, but Feng Cang had been smooth and steady. He didn¡¯t have any thoughts to offend the prestige of a monarch. This was much better than his sons.
If Feng Cang wanted to seize the throne, the entire Bei Zhou¡¯s military power is in his hands; seizing the throne was just an easy matter. He didn¡¯t need to wait till the opportunity of Dong Lu sending the troops. Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any greed or desire. It was because he (WL) knew this, that was why Wanyan Lie was so at ease. At one side, he put the gu, at the other side, he put him in an important position. At one side he beat him, at the other side, he gave him candy.
However, recently Feng Cang really was a bit unusual. It seemed that since Murong Qi Qi appeared, his no greed and no desire changed. The Feng Cang who had never put any things or people in his heart, after encountering Murong Qi Qi, he began to particrly care about her.
Although, this thing seemed unimaginable to outsiders; they¡¯re blood rted siblings, but in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart, he gave them the biggest recognition and support.
If he could, letting Feng Cang inherit the throne was not bad. Wanyan Lie had such thoughts, but he didn¡¯t tell anyone. He needed to deliberate this matter carefully. After all, if he wanted to let Feng Cang inherit, he still need to have to face those old school of the court. What¡¯s the best way to do it?
Taking advantage that Murong Qi Qi was absent, Wanyan Lie went to Long Autumn pce. He went to the underground to see Wanyan Ming Yue.
Don¡¯t know if it was because he didn¡¯te for a long time, but Wanyan Lie discovered that Wanyan Ming Yue was more beautiful than before. In the past, shey on the warm jade bed and always had a cold appearance. The expression of the Wanyan Ming Yue of now, softened a lot. There was also more gloss on her skin. She appeared more and more like before she went into a deep sleep.
Could this be rted to Murong Qi Qi? Could it be that Wanyan Ming Yue heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice at the top and knew that her daughter returned? That was why gradually signs of her about to wake up appeared? It seemed that Murong Qi Qi really was Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s blessing! It was really well that this -lost and then regained- child returned!
¡°Yue er, are you about to wake up? Did you forgive big brother?¡± Wanyan Lie grabbed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand excitedly.
Her hand had temperature! This news shocked Wanyan Lie once again! Although, there was the warm jade bed and Wanyan Ming Yue had been in a sleeping state, but her temperature had been lower than ordinary people. Now, Wanyan Lie felt a temperature ordinary people should have on Wanyan Ming Yue. How could he not be excited?!
¡°So great! So great!¡±
Wanyan Lie shouted excitedly. Sensing the there was some moisture on his face, Wanyan Lie reached out and touched. Only then, did he discover that tears came out of his eyes. He waited for so many years, longed for so many years; finally, he felt Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s response. This was simply so great!
¡°Imperial physician. Jing De, go summon the imperial physician!¡± Because of excitement, Wanyan Lie let Jing De go find an imperial physician to check Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s pulse. Fortunately, Jing De maintained his rationality. He quickly stopped Wanyan Lie. ¡°Emperor, which imperial physician to you n on to summon toe do a diagnosis? If the imperial physician knew that princess Ming Yue is still alive, what do you n to do?!¡±
Jing De¡¯s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wanyan Lie making him wake up from the excitement.
That was right, ah! In Bei Zhou, everyone knew that Wanyan Ming Yue was a dead person. If she reappears in front of everyone, what kind of thing will happen? Firstly, Jinxuan pce¡¯s empress dowager Dongfang Lan wouldn¡¯t let him off. She would surely investigate the matter of that years till the water recedes and the rocks appear!
The water recedes, the rocks appear: the truthe to light
¡°No! Can¡¯t!¡± Because of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s matter, he already killed a lot of people. Now, Wanyan Ming Yue was about to wake up, he couldn¡¯t kill more people! He needed to umte merit and pray for blessings for Wanyan Ming Yue! She was willing to wake up. At least, it proved that she didn¡¯t hate him as much as before!
The thought that he may be forgiven by Wanyan Ming Yue, the heavy stone that pressed Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart for sixteen years, finally became a lot lighter. The mood that was impacted by Wanyan Hong¡¯s and Wanyan Yi¡¯s matters also improved a lot.
Looking at the glowing Wanyan Ming Yue, Wanyan lie felt even more that Murong Qi Qi was someone who brought prosperity to the parents. Although, her father Feng Xie was no longer here, but Wanyan Ming Yue significantly improved a lot. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi was her lucky star!
Before, Wanyan Lie had some hesitation about the throne. Now, he set it down in his heart; Feng Cang as the emperor, Murong Qi Qi as the empress. This was the best match. And he, he will wait till Wanyan Ming Yue wake up and then leave here with her to start a new life.
Chapter 155 Awakening (1)
Chapter 155 Awakening (1)
Wanyan Lie was happy, Jing De¡¯s mood also got a lot better. Following the emperor these past few years and looked at him do so many things, regardless of sess or failure, right or wrong, Jin De didn¡¯t dare to make an improper evaluation. His only wish was that the emperor could be happy every day like today. As a ve, he naturally wanted his master to be well.
The glowing pearl on the wall was dazzling and reflected Wanyan Lie¡¯s smiling face. Suddenly, Wanyan Lie lowered his head and looked carefully at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s body. He frowned heavily.
¡°Jing De, someone had been here before.¡± Different from the excitement and happiness of just now, at this time, Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression was grave and serious.
Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair was very neat and carefully sorted. It was obvious that someone tidied it. Although, before, he alsobed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯ hair every time he came, but Wanyan Lie remembered clearly, when hebed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hairst time, he didn¡¯t choose this hairpin iid with red beans.
Moreover, from the jewelries he prepared for Wanyan Ming Yue, there was no red bean hairpin. Now, between Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair was obviously a red bean hairpin, making Wanyan Lie¡¯s handsome brow twist into a rope.
Who came? Who had been here? Wanyan Lie got up and looked around at the underground pce.
Everything was still the same as usual and there was no differences. With the naked eye, you couldn¡¯t discover traces that someone had been here. Then, what about the red bean hairpin? Could it hade out of thin air?
When Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes fell on the bowknot of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s overalls, the confusion he had disappearedpletely.
The way he tied knots wasn¡¯t like this! This knot had been re-tied by someone else! Someone certainly had been here! Someone hade to the underground pce and saw Wanyan Ming Yue! It must be!
At this point, Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. His expression also turned savage. His private field had been found out. His secret was known by another. And he, this involved party actually didn¡¯t know and had been kept in the dark! What is going on?!
Who was this person? What is his rtion to Wanyan Ming Yue? Could it be that he wanted to take Ming Yue from here?
¡°Your majesty, your majesty...,¡± Aware of Wanyan Lie¡¯s strangeness, Jing De quickly came forward.
¡°Jing De, you say, who came here?¡± Wanyan Lie turned his face. His hand held the red bean hairpin and waved at Jing De. When Jing De saw the terrifying expression on Wanyan Lie¡¯s face, his heart made a ¡®thud¡¯ sound.
Seemingly, the previous time he saw Wanyan Lie like this was at the moment of the battle at Yandang Mountain.
After apse of sixteen years, Jing De still remembered clearly how crazy Wanyan Lie was that night, that it would make people afraid! Now, this small red bean hairpin angered Wanyan Lie once again, making Jing De couldn¡¯t help but pray ¡°Buddha, help me¡± in his heart. Could it be that the tragedy that happened sixteen years ago would repeat? By all means, don¡¯t let it be like that!
¡°Your majesty, Long Autumn pce is the residence of princess Zhen Guo. You see, why don¡¯t you ask her?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not her!¡± Wanyan Lie shook his head, ¡°If Qi Qi knew that her mother is still alive, she wouldn¡¯t be so calm. Red bean, the bean of yearning, it¡¯s used by lovers to pass one¡¯s feeling and express their love. Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t give Ming Yue the bean of yearning...¡±
Red bean was the most yearning. The person who missed Wanyan Ming Yue like this, aside from him, who would he be? When Wanyan Ming Yue was alive, she had many admirers. Could it be among them, there¡¯s one who knows that Wanyan Ming Yue was still alive? Who is he? How did he mix into the pce? Why did he hide into Long Autumn pce?
After thinking for a long time, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t find the answer. For the time being, he could only insert the red bean hairpin, ording to its original state back in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair.
¡°Jing De, zhen1 wants you to personally investigate everyone of Long Autumn pce. See, if there¡¯s something strange!¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Jing De had a premonition that a storm was about toe, but he was only Wanyan Lie¡¯s ve and couldn¡¯t stop anything his master wanted to do. He could only do ording to what Wanyan Lie said, ¡°Then, should I also investigate princess¡¯s people?¡±
¡°No need! Don¡¯t touch Qi Qi¡¯s people.¡± Wanyan Lie thought a bit, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong with the pce¡¯s people, then change another group of people to here...you must find this person! Zhen wants to see who he is!¡±
While saying this, Wanyan Lie¡¯s fist was tightly clenched. For so many years, Wanyan Ming Yue had been only his baby. Now, one more person came making him unable not to be nervous. If the ultimate motive of this person was to take Wanyan Ming Yue away, then what should he do? No! He couldn¡¯t let such a thing happen!
¡°Ming Yue, I won¡¯t let anyone take you away! I will always protect you!¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s head pasted on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s chest and listened to her slow heartbeat. ¡°I won¡¯t let you go!¡±
Not long after Wanyan Lie left, Murong Qi Qi returned to the pce. Su Mei and Su Yue told Murong Qi Qi that Wanyan Lie went to the underground pce, making her tense up, ¡°What about my dad? Did the emperor discover my dad?¡±
¡°Miss, great general is very well! When the emperor came, they happened to miss each other. General didn¡¯t encounter the emperor.¡±
After hearing Su Mei, Murong Qi Qi nodded and let out a sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t worry that Wanyan Lie would do something to Feng Xie. Instead, she was worried that if Feng Xie saw Wanyan Lie, he couldn¡¯t help himself and kill Wanyan Lie in anger.
The gu in Feng Cang¡¯s body isn¡¯t solved yet. Wanyan Lie couldn¡¯t die. She didn¡¯t know if Wanyan Lie encountered anything strange in the underground pce. if he knew that Wanyan Ming Yue had been discovered, would he do some extreme things?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s suspicion was soon realized. Not after even two days, Su Yue told Murong Qi Qi that a new group of people was changed into Long Autumn pce. She also found out that more high-skilled at martial arts people appeared at Long Autumn pce.
It seemed that Wanyan Lie finally found out. The thing they were worried about happened so soon...
¡°Qi Qi, how is it? When will your mother wake up?¡± Inside the underground pce, Feng Xie looked anxiously at Murong Qi Qi. This period, he had been staying at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s side. He also fed Wanyan Ming Yue the herbal medicine Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo prescribed.
Compared to be before, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s heartbeat was a lot closer to the speed of normal people. Herplexion was also a lot better. Murong Qi Qi retrieved her hand and let Jin Mo check. Jin Mo checked the pulse. Then, he nodded.
¡°I think the princess will wake up soon. It should be one of these days! All aspect of princess¡¯s bodily function had been restored and are now of no difference with normal people. If it continues like this, princess will certainly wake up soon.¡±
¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. Mother¡¯s body is very well! My opinion is the same as senior brother. It should be around this time.¡±
After listening to Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo, Feng Xie was exceptionally excited.
¡°So great! So great!¡± Feng Xie¡¯s voice trembled slightly. He was so excited that he didn¡¯t know what to say. When he felt the warmness from his eyes, Feng Xie turned his face quickly and wiped his tears. Then, he pretended nothing had happened.
¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. Mother will certainly wake up. You two will be well!¡±
After getting along for this period, Murong Qi Qi already epted this father from her heart. To let Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie reunite was Murong Qi Qi¡¯s biggest wish.
¡°Dad, the tunnel under where I live will be open to ess after two days. By then, enter the underground pce from where I live. Wanyan Lie already set his eyes on here. Before mother wakes up, we should hold on, ah! I am now most worried about mother. As long as mother is safe and sound, everything could be talked about!¡±
Feng Xie understood the things Murong Qi Qi said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be impulsive! The gu in Cang er¡¯s body is not solved yet. I won¡¯t kill Wanyan Lie! As long as your mother can wake up, this is better than everything! Now, the most important person in my heart is your mother!¡±
Feng Xie insisted on staying with Wanyan Ming Yue; Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo could only let him stay. When they came back to the ground floor, Jin Mo suddenly opened his mouth, ¡°Junior sister, if princess wakes up and forgot everything, could your dad ept it?¡±
¡°Senior brother, what do you mean by this?¡± After hearing Jin Mo, Murong Qi Qi was a bit surprised.
¡°When checking princess, I discovered that the back of princess¡¯s head had been hit hard. The blood gathered at the back of the head. Plus, the fact that princess was in a deep sleep, the blood didn¡¯t circte, so this blood clot hadn¡¯t been solved.¡±
¡°I remember that master once said, clotted blood in the brain would lead to a series of seque. One of them is amnesia. I¡¯m worried that even if your mother wakes up, because of the blood clot oppressing the brain, she would not remember many things, including you, including great general.¡±
The blood clot Jin Mo was talking about, Murong Qi Qi had also discovered it earlier. It was just, she didn¡¯t mention it in front of Feng Xie. She was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it for the moment.
¡°Senior brother, I¡¯m also clear about what you said. That was why I put medicine to open the blood clot in the herbal soup. I hope that it¡¯s of some help. If my mother wakes up and got temporarily memory loss because of the blood clot oppressing the brain, I want to use medicine and then do an acupuncture treatment. The blood clot should be eliminated slowly. This is only a matter of time.¡±
¡°Mm! It¡¯s the best if you¡¯re mentally prepared for this! I¡¯m mainly worried about great general. This period, because of princess, great general lost a lot of weight. If princess wakes up and doesn¡¯t remember him, I¡¯m afraid that great general wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it. So, if the time is right, you should personally talk with him about princess¡¯s condition, lest to not let great general feel it was sudden, couldn¡¯t ept it and let idents happen.¡±
¡°After all, ording to the current situation, the recovery of princess has reached the critical point. And, sooner orter, the problem between you and the emperor would be faced...I don¡¯t wish your matter to affect wangye2. You also know, wangye had been tortured for so many years by the gu poison. This opportunity was also very rare for wangye.¡±
Jin Mo went around a big circle and finally returned to the main theme. It turned out that he was more worried about Feng Cang. This let Murong qi Qi¡¯s mood rx a lot! It was really great that Feng Cang could have a person who cares about him like this at his side!
¡°Senior brother, I won¡¯t neglect wangye because of the father and mother¡¯s matter and I will also not give up on love because of family!¡±
¡°Then, it¡¯s good! I hope that junior sister remembers your words! Wangye is my patient. I will make every effort for my patient!¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± At this moment, Feng Cang came from the morning court and arrived at Long Autumn pce. The moment he came, he saw Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo chatting and also heard some words like ¡®wangye¡¯. So, he curiously interrupted.
¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Jin Mo and Murong Qi Qi replied unanimously.
¡°Tsk, tsk!¡± Seeing this pair of senior and junior had such a tacit understanding, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t help but stare at Jin Mo and Murong Qi Qi for a long time. ¡°Usually, you two didn¡¯t get along well. Today, you spoke unanimously. It seemed, that you must have something you hid from me!¡±
¡°If wangye wants to know, then ask junior sister!¡±
Jin Mo anointed his feet and directly said that. Feng Cang took this opportunity to take Muong Qi Qi into his arms. His big hands scratched Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist, amusing Muong Qi Qi that she had to beg for mercy, ¡°So itchy! Don¡¯t scratch my itchy skin. So itchy, ah! Hahaha!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s -crisp like silver bells-ughter and looking at her brightly smiling face, Feng Cang¡¯s mood also got a lot better. ¡°Are you saying or not?! If you don¡¯t say, I¡¯ll continue scratch!¡±
¡°No, no, I confess. I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk!¡±
The people of Long Autumn pce were already ustomed to the -different from ordinary people- feelings of these siblings. Only the people who were newly inserted into Long Autumn pce felt shocked from their heart after seeing Nan Lin wang and princess Zhen Guo being yful like this. These siblings were so intimate. It seemed somewhat to be contradicting the ethical code...
Afterughing, Murong Qi Qi pulled Feng Cang by the hand into the room. She told him about Wanyan Ming Yue and also thosest words of Jin Mo.
Seeing Jin Mo, this brat, talk to Murong Qi Qi like this, Feng Cang¡¯s eyebrow raised, ¡°Jin Mo seemed more and more like an old woman! It seemed that it¡¯s necessarily to find something for him to do lest to let him always say rubbish.¡±
¡°Cang, senior brother said it for your well-being! You know, senior brother talked to me like that, I was happy from the bottom heart! Although, senior brother has a bit of a poisonous tongue and is a bit cold, but senior brother is very loyal to you. I¡¯m very happy that at your side, you have a friend who protects you like this! Besides, senior brother was indeed right! The opportunity is rare. It¡¯s naturally the best if we can solve the gu poison in your body!¡±
Hearing the sweet voice of the little person in his arms, Feng Cang¡¯s handbed her hair.
¡°Father and mother-inw are your family. You ought to care about them. Moreover, mother-inw is now in such a state. Curing mother-inw and let your family reunite is the most important thing. My gu poison needs no hurry. I want to wait till mother-inw wakes up before taking action. After these things are dealt with, our whole family will stay away from these earthly troubles and live a free life, what do you think?¡±
¡°Good!¡± Nestling in Feng Cang¡¯s arms and listening to his strong heartbeat, Murong Qi Qi felt particrly satisfied. She had long wanted to leave these disputes of power and live a free life. Feng Cang¡¯s words were also her thoughts in her heart.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know that at the other side of the capital, a person called Misha was crazily looking for the whereabouts of Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qing Lian who was imprisoned in a room these past two day, was hungry and thirsty. The interrogation of Xia Xue was something she had never experienced before. She (XX) didn¡¯t give her to eat nor to drink. Even if she was tired and wanted to close her eyes, she would suffer Xia Xue¡¯s beating. To Murong Qing Lian, this kind of forceful interrogation was simply the most painful torture.
Misha wanted to find his little sister Yi Lian. Before, Murong Qing Lian simply didn¡¯t know who Yi Lian was. Only after she recalled those things that happened at the seven-level pagoda, Murong Qing Lian suddenly got a thought. That was, Murong Qi Qi may be the person Misha was looking for.
Although, this thought was somewhat absurd, but Murong Qing Lian¡¯s intuition told her so.
Every time, when they encountered a problem at the seven-level pagoda, it was Murong Qi Qi who solved the problem. Every time, when they couldn¡¯t pass, it was Murong Qi Qi who thought of a way. Since Misha said, that this seven-level pagoda was a test. The chance of a person being Yi Lian was a lot higher if the person could pass.
Speaking of this, that they could pass the test of the seven-level pagoda was all thanks to Murong Qi Qi. And her encounter of now, was also granted by Murong Qi Qi! If it wasn¡¯t because she rushed to the seventh floor first, perhaps she wouldn¡¯t have been brought here by Misha and suffer such torture.
The pain that came from Murong Qing Lian¡¯s body made her mind soberer. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her intuition was right. If the seven-level pagoda was Misha¡¯s way to identify Yi Lian, then, Murong Qi Qi who passed all test was certainly Yi Lian!
Although, Murong Qing Lian wasn¡¯t clear about what kind of rtionship Misha and Murong Qi Qi had, but between the words and the lines and amid his brows and eyes were all his pampering towards Yi Lian. This point couldn¡¯t lie to people.
Between the words and the lines: implied meaning
Why could Murong Qi Qi be so lucky? She was a rubbish for so many years, but shone very much at the tournament of the four countries. Then, she changed shape like in a single shake and became princess Zhen Guo. Why would such dog poop thing fell from heaven on Murong Qi Qi?
Before, Nan Lin wang Feng Cang was running around circled going crazy about her. Then, Longze Jing Tian wouldn¡¯t marry if it wasn¡¯t her. Now, such a person like Misha was in love with her. Could it be that the heaven was so biased and gave Murong Qi Qi everything good?
Seeing Misha¡¯s attitude towards Yi Lian; If Murong Qi Qi really was Yi Lian, he would certainly hold Murong Qi Qi to the skies!
For which reason should she bear the consequences when it was Murong Qi Qi whomitted the sin? For which reason was she beaten blue and ck here by Xia Xue and bear the pain of the flesh, in the end, Murong Qi Qi could get Misha¡¯s love? For which reason?!
When she thought clear about these things, Murong Qing Lian ¡®reviewed¡¯ what happened to the seven-level pagoda with Xia Xue. She deliberately made some adjustments. Most of the things Murong Qi Qi did, Murong Qing Lian ced them on Bai Yi Yue. She couldn¡¯t let Murong Qi Qi continue to live so happily!
Although, Misha¡¯s character was somewhat sick, but every time he mentioned ¡®Yi Lian¡¯, the gentleness in his eyes was something Murong Qing Lian had never seen before. Murong Qi Qi already got too many, too many happiness! She wouldn¡¯t let these siblings recognize each other! This...could be considered her revenge on Murong Qi Qi and also her revenge on Misha!
After a careful interrogation of one day and two nights, Xia Xue put the thick stack of paper in her hands in front of Misha.
¡°Young master, ording to Murong Qing Lian, aside from her, there were three more female contestants in the finals, respectively, Xi Qi¡¯s Bai Yi Yue, Bei Zhou¡¯s Feng Qi Qi and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s maid Su Mei. Coincidentally, these three people defeated the opponent in the finals! ording to the analysis of Murong Qing Lian¡¯s information, Bai Yi Yue is most likely the person you¡¯re looking for!¡±
¡°Mm?¡±
Misha didn¡¯t continue to ask. Instead, he carefully examined from the scratch the words from Murong Qing Lian that Xia Xue brought to him.
¡®Dong, dong...¡¯ Misha¡¯s hand gently tapped the handle of the wheelchair. Familiar with this action of Misha, Xia Xue knew that her young master was thinking. So, she only respectfully stood at a side and didn¡¯t speak, afraid that she would disturb Misha¡¯s thoughts.
¡°Go ask Murong Qing Lian what the weapons of these three women were at the finals.¡± Misha¡¯s narrowed his eyes, ¡°Let her paint them!¡±
Not long after, Xia Xue came in with three sheets of paper, ¡°Young master, Bai Yi Yue used a sword. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s weapon was a red muslin. Su Mei¡¯s weapon was very weird...¡±
Hearing Xia Xue said weird, he took over the three sheets of paper and nced, ¡°Send people to investigate Bai Yi Yue and Su Mei. Su Mei¡¯s weapon is very weird. Investigate where her weapon came from.¡±
¡°Yes! Then, what to do with Murong Qing Lian?¡± Xia Xue asked carefully.
¡°Give her a quick death!¡± While saying this, on Misha¡¯s face these ten words ¡®to turn one¡¯s face against someone and show no mercy¡¯ were clearly written. People who have no useful value didn¡¯t have the meaning to exist. This was his consistent policy.
To turn one¡¯s face against someone and show no mercy: to turn against a friend.
¡°Yes...¡±

Chapter 156 Awakening (2)
Chapter 156 Awakening (2)
When Murong Qing Lian was in a deep sleep, she suddenly heard the door make a ¡®squeak¡¯ sound. Probably, because she was tortured for a long time in prison, so, no matter how tired she was, as long as she heard the sound of the prison head opening the chain, she would wake up. Now, here, even though she didn¡¯t close her eyes for so long, after hearing the sound, she still naturally reflexed conditionally and opened her eyes.
The one who entered was Xia Xue. She still had a cold expression.
¡°I told you everything I know!¡± Murong Qing Lian¡¯s face was swollen like a pig. Because of the swollen cheeks, the originally beautiful eyes were squeezed into a gap.
¡°I beg you, let me off! I know I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t pretend to be Yi Lian and lie to you. I really know I am wrong!¡±
¡°Toote!¡± Not waiting for Murong Qing Lian to finish, Xia Xue shed and appeared behind Murong Qing Lian. In her hands appeared a rope. It tightly strangled Murong Qing Lian¡¯s slender neck.
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Sensing the murderous aura from the other party, Murong Qing Lian struggled. Her hands tightly pulled the rope. She wanted to take it away from her neck, ¡°Save...save me...¡±
¡°You¡¯re innocent, but you shouldn¡¯t have offended young master. Remember, in the next life, you should be born in a good family!¡± Xia Xue¡¯s lips came to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ear. The cold and long voice spread to Murong Qing Lian¡¯s ear as if in announcing her death.
¡°No! Save me...¡±
I don¡¯t want to die! I am not willing to ept! I don¡¯t want to die like this!
Although, Murong Qing Lian didn¡¯t eat for a long time and also had been tortured a day and two nights by Xia Xue, but in this critical moment, her desire to survive was unprecedented strong.
I don¡¯t want to die! I¡¯m still young! I really don¡¯t want to die! Murong Qing Lian gritted her teeth. Her hands tightly hooked on the rope around her neck.
¡°Don¡¯t struggle anymore! Young master said that you must die!¡± Xia Xue suddenly let go. When Murong Qing Lian thought that she was saved, that Xia Xue let her off, her back suddenly felt pain. It turned out that Xia Xue hit with her palm on Murong Qing Lian¡¯s back. She didn¡¯t have time to make a sound when she fainted.
Just when Xia Xue wanted to act once again, a ball was thrown inside. Then, a smoke spread. Xia Xue quickly covered her mouth. When the smoke was gone, Murong Qing Lian who was in front of her, disappeared!
Don¡¯t know after how long, Murong Qing Lian slowly woke up. She found herself in a carriage. She knew the person beside her. It was Jia Lan.
¡°Don¡¯t talk!¡± Seeing that Murong Qing Lian was afraid, Jia Lan quickly reached out to hold her. ¡°You¡¯re wounded. You need to recuperate.¡±
Before, she was yed like a monkey by Misha, making the way how Murong Qing Lian looked at Jia Lan also change. Could it be that Jia Lan also had a hidden agenda? That was right! Jia Lan and Misha were a group. Maybe this was Misha¡¯s new test! Misha was ying her again!
Thinking about the things she experienced, Murong Qing Lian was very scared. She tried to get up and tried to get off the carriage.
Murong Qing Lian was like this, Jia Lan pressed her down once again.
¡°I¡¯m not Misha. I won¡¯t hurt you!¡± Seeing this girl being tortured to this in just a few days, Jia Lan frowned deeply. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t know that Misha would treat you like this! I was wrong!¡±
Jia Lan¡¯s apology made Murong Qing Lian froze there. She looked guarded at Jia Lan for fear that under his apologetic face hid a greater conspiracy.
¡°I know that no matter what I say, you won¡¯t believe me. however, I truly want to apologize to you! If it wasn¡¯t because I brought you in front of Misha, you wouldn¡¯t have encountered such a thing. I¡¯m sorry!¡±
Jia Lan took a package and put it in front of Murong Qing Lian. Opened it, inside was some silver, four or five strings of coin and also two sets of women¡¯s clothing.
¡°I already paid the fare of the carriage. I let the driver send you to Xi Qi. At there, there¡¯s your family. Forget these unhappy things. Go back and live your life well!¡±
After seeing these, did Murong Qing Lian really believe that Jia Lan came to save her. Suddenly being saved from the edge of death made Murong Qing Lian¡¯s mood veryplicated.
When she thought that she was saved and that Misha would give her a new life, she fell from heaven to hell. When she thought she was going to die and bid farewell to this world, Jia Lan saved her. Why was life full of dramatic ups and downs?
¡°Thank you...,¡± After being silent for a long time, Murong Qing Lian finally opened her mouth. The arrogant Murong fourth miss; at this time this thanks was full of sincerity and gratitude.
¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me! In fact, I caused you cmity!¡± Jia Lanughed bitterly. He stuffed the package to Murong Qing Lian, ¡°The wife of the driver is very good. I entrusted her to take care of you along the way. Don¡¯t worry! Take care...¡±
Looking at Murong Qing Lian once again, Jia Lan jumped down and went off the carriage. When Murong Qing Lian sat up and stuck her head outside of the window to look at that man in blue, he already went in the direction of Yan capital, farther and farther.
At this point, to Murong Qing Lian, being alive was one of the happiest thing.
Jia Lan went back to the house. He saw Misha sitting in the room.
¡°You came back?¡± Misha turned the wheel and faced Jia Lan. ¡°You sent the person away?¡±
¡°Eldest senior brother...¡±
¡°Jia Lan, you had always been very obedient. This time you¡¯re very not obedient, yo! You actually let Xia Xue faint and let go of Murong Qing Lian...,¡± Misha¡¯s voice was slow and long. The smile on his face was very innocent. Because, he sat at the window, Misha¡¯s white skin was sun ted with a thinyer of gold, making this beautiful young man appear more like out of this world and full of innocence.
¡°Eldest senior brother, I feel that she shouldn¡¯t die. Although, I don¡¯t know where she had offended you, but after all it¡¯s a human life! You can¡¯t just kill people!¡±
¡°Hehe...,¡± Jia Lan¡¯s words let Misha¡¯s fingers gently tap the handle of the wheelchair. ¡°Jia Lan, you still love peace so much. If this world had the Nobel prize of Peace, I will certainly award it to you!¡±
Jia Lan looked at the Misha in front of him. He felt more that he (M) was very unfamiliar. They grew up together. Misha wasn¡¯t like this in the past. Why, six year ago when he hurt his leg and after he woke up, he changed into someone he (JL) doesn¡¯t know? Why was it like that?
¡°Misha, you¡¯ve changed,¡± Jia Lan said seriously. ¡°I don¡¯t know why your change is so big! I don¡¯t like the you of now. I don¡¯t like the you of now even a bit!¡±
Hearing Jia Lan¡¯s words, Mishaughed heartily, ¡°Jia Lan, put away your -bemoan the state of the universe and pity the fate of mankind- face. If you¡¯re sitting in a wheelchair like me and couldn¡¯t move freely, can you still keep such a friendly and peaceful heart? Don¡¯t forget, my legs were destroyed because of you!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t forget!¡± Misha being like this, Jia Lan also roared.
After roaring, Jia Lan became conscious that his attitude was a bit intense. His cheeks got slightly hot. He turned his head and didn¡¯t look at Misha.
¡°I know that I was wrong. I didn¡¯t know how to swim and still went fishing, causing your legs to be hurt by a whale while saving me. However, this is something between us. Can you not hurt innocents because of this?! Besides, master said that your legs can still be cured. One of the reason we came to the maind this time is to cure your legs! You will certainly be able to stand up!¡±
¡°Stand up?¡± Hearing Jia Lan, Mishaughed. The curvature of his mouth rose to a big ridicule. ¡°Jia Lan, master said that to console me! I know about my legs. With the current medical circumstances, it simply couldn¡¯t be cured.¡±
¡°Can you not always say such words? What is called the current medical circumstances? Your words have many things I don¡¯t understand! What Nobel prize of Peace, what about this world, what are you talking about? Misha, what happened to you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not Misha! Misha already died! I¡¯m called Lian Sheng, do you know?!¡± Misha finally lost patience towards Jia Lan¡¯s words.
¡°Why do you say this every time? Could it be that you want me to repay two legs to you?¡±
Jia Lan couldn¡¯t understand Misha¡¯s craziness. It seemed that every time they had a conflict, Misha would say worlds like, he¡¯s not Misha. Could it be that Misha hates him so much? He felt guilty for so many years after hurting Misha¡¯s legs. Moreover, he went along with Misha in everywhere. What more did he want?
¡°Jia Lan, on the emotional level, my legs were destroyed because of saving you. On the level of reason, I¡¯m your eldest senior brother. Master gave me the power to monitor all the disciples. You, either follow my orders or roll back to Peni ind! This time, I let you off. Next time, if you stop my matter, be careful about me being impolite to you!¡±
Leaving these words, Misha pushed the wheelchair steadily and left Jia Lan¡¯s room. Seeing Misha¡¯s stubborn figure go further and further, Jia Lan felt a gas choke in his chest.
¡°Sir, don¡¯t be angry! Sir Misha said those words because of anger.¡± Jia Lan¡¯s servant Jin Yu appeared behind him. ¡°You and sir Misha¡¯s rtionship is so good. You should understand his personality.¡±
¡°No...In the past, I understood him very well, but now, I can¡¯t understand him.¡±
Thinking about the things Misha said about his legs, Jia Lan felt remorse. If he didn¡¯t insist on going into the sea, Misha¡¯s legs would be fine. Then, would their rtionship not be like this?
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Was Murong Qing Lian sent away?¡±
¡°Yes. Sir, it¡¯s just, I feel that for a woman, your and Misha¡¯s rtionship became stiff is not worth it. After all, you were brothers for so many years.¡± Jin Yu said his views on the matter of Murong Qing Lian.
¡°It¡¯s because we¡¯re brothers that I don¡¯t want his hand to be contaminated with too much blood. The past Misha was so innocent, so fine. Why did he be like this now...?¡±
¡°Maybe, it¡¯s because you¡¯ve grown up!¡±
Jia Lan didn¡¯t understand the reason for Misha¡¯s change. He even more didn¡¯t know that the Misha he saw of now was no longer the person of before. To Misha¡¯s change, Jia Lan could only use ¡®grown up¡¯ to exin it. Presumably, no matter how good brothers you were, when grown up, they would have their worries!
At the other side, Xia Xue stood behind Misha, ¡°Young master, should we chase after Murong Qing Lian?¡±
¡°Forget it,¡± Misha shook his head. ¡°The person Jia Lan save, I chase after her to kill her, it somewhat couldn¡¯t be justified. It¡¯s better to spread out news about her to bandits along the way! I believe, they would be very interested in -soft skin and tender fleshed- miss...¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Hearing Misha¡¯s words, the corners of Xia Xue¡¯s mouth raised faintly. Murong Qing Lian escaped. It could be considered that she was lucky. The asional good luck was not necessarily the beginning of happiness.
Inside Long Autumn pce, the tunnel under where Murong Qi Qi lived was now open to ess. Every time, Feng Xie would go down to the underground pce from there. The exit is at a very deep road in the underground pce. It was very hidden. It was some distance from where Wanyan Ming Yue was. Even if it was Wanyan Lie, he wouldn¡¯t have discovered.
After Wanyan Lie appeared in Long Autumn pce, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t leave the pce anymore. She always stayed in Long Autumn pce and the empress dowager¡¯s Jinxuan pce. She didn¡¯t gave Wanyan Lie the opportunity to go to the underground pce.
Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t doubt Murong Qi Qi¡¯s attitude. This was probably the so called love the house and its crow! Murong Qi Qi felt so ¡®nostalgic¡¯ about Long Autumn pce was to the kindly feelings of Wanyan Lie. He originally prepared this Long Autumn pce for Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter lives there. Moreover, she likes there; how could Wanyan Lie not be happy?!
Love the house and its crow: love everyone and everything rted to the person you love
With Murong Qi Qi there, he couldn¡¯t go to the underground of Long Autumn pce, but the person who went to visit in secret also had no way to show up.
Although, the people he sent didn¡¯t discover anything strange, but Wanyan Lie believed, no matter how cunning a fox is, there will be a day he will expose his tail!
Comparing on patience, presumably he was the most patient person of this world! From when Wanyan Ming Yue went into a deep sleep till now, he waited for sixteen years. He will continue to wait. Wanyan Lie believed, sooner orter, he will catch the person who broke into the underground pce! In the game of the cat catching the mouse, he will certainly be the winner in the end!
Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t know that because of his ¡®carelessness¡¯, he missed the most critical moment of his life.
This day, Feng Xiebed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair as usual. The mahoganyb in his hand, gentlybed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s ck hair. So careful, as if he was treating the most valuable thing in his life.
Like usual, while Feng Xiebed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair, he told her about the beautiful memories of the past. Murong Qi Qi said that family and love were the things that could awaken a sleeping person the most. So, even though, he already told those things for many times, but he always repeated them again and again.
¡°I still remember your shy look on the wedding night! Ming Yue, do you know, the day we married I was so happy! To be able to marry you was a blessing I cultivated for eight lifetimes! I swore that I must treat you well, treat you wholeheartedly and not let you suffer the slightest. You let me be the happiest person in this world. I also want to let you be the second happiest person!¡±
¡°That day, many guests came. No matter who, as long as they came to toast I would drink it. Because I was happy! I was happy from the bottom of my heart! In the end, those underling brothers of mine grouped together to give me wine. Haha, how could their capacity for liquor bepared to mine?! When I returned to the bridal chamber and lifted your veil, they were all drunk in the living room!¡±
Remembering the sweet past of the wedding night, Feng Xie¡¯s eyes were a bit wet. He held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. He put her soft small hand on the beard stubbles on his chin. He used his beard stubbles to gently rub her palm.
¡°At that time, you thought my stubbles were hard. Every time, I kiss you, they would hurt you. So, every two days, you would shave for me. At the beginning you were afraid that you were unskilled and would hurt me. So, you secretly tested many times on the dog. Until the small dog we raised became a small bald dog did you became more skilled...¡±
¡°Ming Yue, since losing you, there was no one to shave for me. If you wake up now, you would certainly not recognize me. Because your big brother Xie has be old and ugly now. And also bearded. Looking at me, I look like a slovenly old man. You definitely won¡¯t recognize me...¡±
¡°Ming Yue, you didn¡¯t change these years. You¡¯re still as beautiful and as young and pretty as in the past. If you wake up, will you dislike me for being old? Will you not want me?¡±
While saying these, Feng Xie¡¯s tears slipped down around the corners of his phoenix eyes and hid in his beard. Bit by bit, they grouped together. In the end, they fell on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s palm along the longest tip of his beard.
Seeing the tears in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s palm, Feng Xie quickly wiped his tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I was too excited! I¡¯m a man who is able to support both the heaven and the earth, how can I cry?! Ming Yue still needs me. We still need to see Qi Qi marry and give birth. I still have to be a grandfather; how could I be defeated by such a little thing?! Ming Yue, I believe you can hear everything I said. I also believe, you will wake up one day! I¡¯m willing to wait! No matter for how long...¡±
Feng Xie used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. He also tidied her clothes for her. In the end, he gently put the red bean hairpin into Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair.
¡°I brought this red bean hairpin from Nan Feng as a gift for you. You couldn¡¯t bear to wear it and put it away carefully. For so many years, I kept the red bean hairpin! Every time, I looked at it, I would think of you! Ming Yue, you¡¯re really beautiful wearing this red bean hairpin!¡±
Feng Xie rambled a lot. He didn¡¯t notice that Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s fingers trembled slightly. After beautifully dressing Wanyan Ming Yue up, Feng Xie began to clean around. He cleaned very carefully. Feng Xie didn¡¯t want Wanyan Ming Yue to live in an unclean environment.
Just when Feng Xie put the dust in the dustpan, behind him suddenly came a long-drawn-out voice, ¡°Big brother Xie, is it you?¡±
Chapter 157 (Part 1) Leaving the capital
Chapter 157 (Part 1) Leaving the capital
This voice seemed as though it hade from the far horizon. It was so unreal that people couldn¡¯t believe it. The hand Feng Xie held the broom with paused. He felt like he was hallucinating. It must be because he misses Wanyan Ming Yue too much. That¡¯s why he would hear her voice.
Thinking till here, Feng Xieughed bitterly. He continued to sweep the floor.
¡°Big brother Xie...¡±
After Feng Xie cleaned up all the garbage, he once again heard Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s voice.
How could this be? Feng Xie stood up. Could it be that he really does miss Wanyan Ming Yue that much? That¡¯s why he¡¯s repeatedly hallucinating? Not waiting for Feng Xie to understand where the problem was, a pair of hands hugged him from behind.
¡°Why is big brother Xie ignoring me?¡±
A voice with hidden bitterness spread from behind Feng Xie. Feeling the fitting warmth from his back, Feng Xie finally understood that he wasn¡¯t dreaming. He really wasn¡¯t dreaming!
¡°Ming Yue!¡± Feng Xie held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand and couldn¡¯t help but nod. Correct! This hand is warm! Aside from him and Wanyan Ming Yue, there was no one else here!
After determining for certain that the person holding him was Wanyan Ming Yue, Feng Xie slowly turned around. When he saw the beautiful eyes of Wanyan Ming Yue, the heavy stone pressing in Feng Xie¡¯s heart finally rxed.
¡°Ming...Ming Yue...,¡± Feng Xie¡¯s lips trembled slightly. Because of excitement, his vocal cords were tight. That¡¯s why the sounding from his mouth was a bit hoarse, but it was difficult to hide his excitement and pleasure. ¡°It¡¯s really you, Ming Yue! I...I¡¯m not dreaming, right?!¡±
The person he¡¯d longed for so many years was standing very alive in front of him. Those suppressed emotions of Feng Xie instantly copsed. Two lines of tears burst out, tumbled down along his cheeks and disappeared into his beard.
Because of excitement, Feng Xie¡¯s beard shook slightly. The originally high quality phoenix eyes had now be a vast ocean.
¡°Ming Yue...Ming Yue...,¡± Feng Xie raised his hand. His fingertips shivered a bit. Although he used every effort to calm himself, but he still couldn¡¯t control himself. Feng Xie¡¯s fingertips touched Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face. Correct, there¡¯s warmth. It¡¯s a living Wanyan Ming Yue!
¡°Big brother Xie!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue reached out and held Feng Xie¡¯s hand. She pasted his hand on her face, ¡°Correct! It¡¯s me! Big brother Xie, it¡¯s really me!¡±
Because of excitement, there were also tears in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face. It was just, her tears spun more in her eyes. Her white cheek gently rubbed on Feng Xie¡¯s palm, feeling the thick calluses in Feng Xie¡¯s palm and fingers. ¡°It¡¯s me! Big brother Xie, it¡¯s me!¡±
¡°Ming Yue!¡± Feng Xie¡¯s tears turned into a river.
Originally, he was not such a sentimental person, but the woman in front of him is his beloved wife. She¡¯s the person he loves the most in this world. The originally ¡®dead¡¯ person was now standing very alive in front of him. Feng Xie felt that this was god¡¯s mercy!
Feng Xie reached out and pulled Wanyan Ming Yue into his arms. His hand stroked Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair. All his tears fell into her hair. ¡°So great! That you¡¯re able to wake up is really so great!¡±
Aside from ¡®so great¡¯, Feng Xie didn¡¯t know how else to describe his mood now. He closed his eyes to feel Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s presence. Aside from a thick gratitude, there were no other emotions in his heart.
This ¡®to meet again after a long period of separation¡¯ pair of husband and wife just stood there embracing each other for one hour. In the end, it was Wanyan Ming Yue who said ¡°foot hurts¡¯; only then did Feng Xie wake up.
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Ming Yue? Let me take a look!¡± Feng Xie nervously helped Wanyan Ming Yue to the warm jade bed. He took off her shoes to check for her.
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue pulled Feng Xie¡¯s hands to let him sit next to her, ¡°It¡¯s just, I was too excited after not seeing big brother Xie for a long time!¡±
Looking at that face of Wanyan Ming Yue that didn¡¯t have any traces of the years, Feng Xieughed bitterly once, ¡°My Ming Yue is still so young and pretty, but your big brother Xie already became old...¡±
Feng Xie¡¯s voice had a trace of maturity, making people who heard it, feel sadness rising inexplicably in their hearts.
Over the years, he¡¯d experienced pain that ordinary people couldn¡¯t imagine. In order to find out the truth, he¡¯d lived as a monk. The originally ck hair was shaved. The top of his head was branded with nine Buddhist fragrant marks.
Ever since he¡¯d found Wanyan Ming Yue, Feng Xie¡¯s whole mind was on his beloved wife. He didn¡¯t have time to take care of his hair. Now, on his original bald head grew a thinyer of ck hair. The previously dyed to white eyebrows, have also now be ck.
He still had a straight nose, a small like dagger face, long and narrow phoenix eyes and bloodstained lips. However, from Feng Xie¡¯s chin to his chest, were traces of burns. Those grim scars spread on his skin, as if they were telling Wanyan Ming Yue what kind of things Feng Xie had been through.
¡°Big brother Xie, you didn¡¯t get old, you only became more mature!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s fingertips gently touched Feng Xie¡¯s scars. Her eyes were filled with anguish, ¡°It must¡¯ve hurt very much, right? Who was so cruel to hurt you? Was it my big brother?¡±
Feng Xie didn¡¯t answer Wanyan Ming Yue. Instead, he looked silently at her. This face, no matter how much he looked at it, he never got tired of it. Before, she was quiet and peaceful; now she was nimble and vivid. He had never thought that he would be able to talk with Wanyan Ming Yue again in this life.
Feng Xie¡¯s silence made Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s heart get a burst of sadness.
In the past, she was in a deep sleep, but her mind hadn¡¯t stop operating. So, those words Wanyan Lie said every time he came, Wanyan Ming Yue heard them clearly. The thought that her big brother had that kind of feelings towards her; and using such feelings to hurt her and the person she loves, made Wanyan Ming Yue feel very sad.
¡°Big brother Xie, everything is fine now. I woke up! We will not separate and there also won¡¯t be anyone who can separate us! Even if it¡¯s my biological big brother, he can¡¯t!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue leaned on Feng Xie¡¯s chest.
¡°Ming Yue...,¡± Feng Xie held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s small soft hand. His heart was filled with emotions.
Perhaps, before this, he¡¯d hated Wanyan Lie. However, now, Wanyan Ming Yue woke up. The shorings of so many years had been filled by her gentle voice. Now, Feng Xie felt that he was happy. He no longer hated Wanyan Lie. He only wanted to hold Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand like this till they be old.
Not long after, Murong Qi Qi found out that Wanyan Ming Yue woke up.
When she was about to see Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Ming Yue became a bit excited. She held Feng Xie¡¯s hand very nervously, ¡°Big brother Xie, our daughter really is still alive? I can¡¯t believe it! I thought our child had died...¡±
¡°Qi Qi is very well! Don¡¯t worry! She¡¯s as beautiful as you!¡±
Seeing Wanyan Ming Yue wishing to see their daughter as a mother and seeing her so excited and nervous, Feng Xie quickly and gentlyforted her, ¡°She¡¯s very well-behaved and sensible, like how you were before! Smart and beautiful...¡±
¡°Big brother Xie, I¡¯m a little nervous! For so many years, I as her mother wasn¡¯t at her side. She certainly doesn¡¯t have any impression of me. You say, will Qi Qi ept me?¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s words made Feng Xie feel even more guilty towards Murong Qi Qi. He¡¯d never known his daughter was still alive and didn¡¯t take the responsibility of a father for even one day. Even after father and daughter had reconciled, he¡¯d set his whole heart on Wanyan Ming Yue. He simply didn¡¯t take the time to keep their daughterpany. Even what she likes, he as a father didn¡¯t know.
Seeing that Feng Xie didn¡¯t speak, Wanyan Ming Yue became even sadder, ¡°How did our Qi Qi grew up? Did anyone take care of her? In the winter, was there someone who put more clothes on her? In the summer, was there someone who fanned for her? I remembered that you once said at my ears, Qi Qi also suffered a lot. Tell me, is it true?¡±
After the first son of Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie died early, for nine consecutive years, there were no happenings in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s belly. She got pregnant with Murong Qi Qi when she was twenty-five. When the imperial physician told her that she was pregnant, Wanyan Ming Yue was so happy. This was the baby she and Feng Xie had hoped for so many years!
At that time, Wanyan Ming Yue prepared many clothes for the little treasure in her belly. If it wasn¡¯t because of the matter of Yandang mountain, Murong Qi Qi would¡¯ve certainly grown up at their side, would be held as a treasure in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s and Feng Xie¡¯s palms and carefully cared for...
¡°Ming Yue, Qi Qi is very well! Really! Our daughter is stronger, more optimistic and more open-minded than we thought! Don¡¯t forget, she¡¯s my and your daughter!¡± Feng Xieforted to let Wanyan Ming Yue rx.
Just at this moment, Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang arrived at the underground pce.
When she saw Wanyan Ming Yue in front of her, Murong Qi Qi froze. Before, Wanyan Ming Yue had been lying down, which made Murong Qi Qi believe that she looked around seventy percent simr to this mother. Now, Wanyan Ming Yue had woken up. Her whole person was standing in front of her. Only now did Murong Qi Qi realise that, aside from her eyes that looked like Feng Xie¡¯s, she looked simr to Wanyan Ming Yue in a lot of ces.
¡°Qi Qi...,¡± Wanyan Ming Yue walked step by step to Murong Qi Qi. That was right, this is her and Feng Xie¡¯s daughter! Not mentioning anything else, just looking at her facial features, she would know that this was their daughter! ¡°Qi Qi, I¡¯m your mother, ah!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue stood in front of Murong Qi Qi. She carefully looked up and down at Murong Qi Qi. It was the same as Feng Xie said, Murong Qi Qi looked very much like her when she was a girl. It was almost exactly the same. This was her daughter! Wanyan Ming Yue was very excited.
¡°Mother...,¡± Murong Qi Qi had never experienced motherly love. Now, looking at the Wanyan Ming Yue in front of her, looking at her with a face full of tears, the frozen ce deep in her heart gradually melted, ¡°Mother!¡±
¡°Qi Qi!¡± Although Wanyan Ming Yue was really looking forward to hearing ¡®mother¡¯ from Murong Qi Qi, but she felt some timidity. After all, Murong Qi Qi had never interacted with her. She hadn¡¯t taken care of her daughter for even one day.
Originally, Wanyan Ming Yue was already prepared that Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t call her so. She wanted to wait patiently and make up for Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lost maternal love. She didn¡¯t expect that she (MQQ) would call her ¡®mother¡¯ so directly.
¡°Mother!¡±
¡°Qi Qi!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s tears rolled down. Even when she faced Feng Xie just now, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s mood hadn¡¯t been as excited. Now, Murong Qi Qi opened all the emotions in her heart. All emotions poured out like a surging flood.
Inside the room, Wanyan Ming Yue embraced Murong Qi Qi and kept repeating ¡°My baby¡±. The mother and daughter reconciled. The whole scene was very moving.
After a long time, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s mood calmed down, ¡°You¡¯ve already grown up so big! So great!¡± Wanyan Ming Yuebed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair to the back. The way she looked at her was full of motherly love.
In the past, when Li Qiu Shui posed as Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mother and came to see her before she¡¯d married; that night, no matter how well Li Qiu Shui pretended, her eyes couldn¡¯t lie to people. Li Qiu Shui¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t have such affection. Such feelings and love passed down by blood could never be reced by others.
Murong Qi Qi was a bit excited. She got a father and also gained a mother. In the past life, this was only something she could think about but couldn¡¯t get. The mother and daughter chatted for a long time and ignored Feng Xie and Feng Cang who were standing next to them.
Only after a long time did Wanyan Ming Yue take note of Feng Cang at a side. Wanyan Ming Yue already knew about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s matter from Feng Xie. She was very satisfied with Feng Cang as her son-inw. ¡°Cang er,1 you¡¯ve grown up...¡±
¡°Mother!¡± Feng Cang came forward and paid his respects. Feng Cang was very respectful towards Wanyan Ming Yue who¡¯d brought him up. Now that Wanyan Ming Yue was able to wake up, although on the surface, Feng Cang didn¡¯t reveal much emotion, but the excitement and happiness in his heart were difficult to describe with words.
¡°Haha, I thought that Cang er should call me mother-inw!¡±
After calming down, Wanyan Ming Yue began to make fun of Feng Cang. As soon as she said this, Feng Cang immediately lifted his clothes and knelt. He kowtowed three times at Wanyan Ming Yue, ¡°Mother-inw, ept this little son-inw¡¯s bow!¡±
¡°Puchi...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s behavior amused Wanyan Ming Yue, making herugh. She was just joking, but Feng Cang took it so seriously. It seemed that he treated her daughter sincerely.
¡°Cang er, stand up!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue personally went to support Feng Cang up, ¡°I¡¯m assured giving Qi Qi to you! However, you need to treat my daughter well! You¡¯re not allowed to bully her!¡±
¡°How would I dare? Usually, it¡¯s her who bullies me!¡±
It was rare for Feng Cang to have humor. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face turned red. She beat Feng Cang with her fist lightly. Seeing that the rtionship of the children was so great, Wanyan Ming Yue was very pleased. She exchanged a smile with Feng Xie.
That Wanyan Ming Yue could wake up, to Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, that was the greatest news. It was just, Wanyan Ming Yue couldn¡¯t stay in the underground pce. It wasn¡¯t guaranteed when Wanyan Lie would have the interest to return to the underground pce.
Before, Wanyan Ming Yue was in a deep sleep. She needed the warm jade bed to maintain the bnce of her body. However, now she had woken up. She didn¡¯t need the warm jade bed. Naturally, she didn¡¯t need to stay in the underground pce.
The four discussed for a long time. In the end, Feng Xie decided to leave the capital with Wanyan Ming Yue for another ce. They didn¡¯t want to let the hatred of the past continue to intertwine them and didn¡¯t want to take revenge on Wanyan Lie. They didn¡¯t want to waste their valuable time together because of an insignificant person.
In Feng Xie¡¯s words, ¡°I want to make up for my lost sixteen years with Ming Yue!¡±
¡°Dad, mother, you really don¡¯t want to take revenge? It was Wanyan Lie who let you be separated for so many years. Did you really put it down?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s question made Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue be silent.
Feng Xie held his beloved wife¡¯s hand. He looked full of love at her. Only after a long time, did he nod.
¡°I put it down! Although he¡¯d hurt me, let me be separated from your mother and you, but I was able to meet your mother again thanks to him. I know how it is to live life full of hatred. It¡¯s very bad and also a torment. For the past sixteen years, I felt like a day goes by like a year. I don¡¯t want to spend my future days in hatred. We¡¯ve already missed too many things. I don¡¯t want to waste time anymore! Ming Yue, what do you think?!¡±
¡°Big brother Xie, I¡¯ll follow you!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue leaned against Feng Xie¡¯s chest with a look of happiness, ¡°I¡¯ll do as you say! No matter what happens, I want to be with you!¡±

Chapter 157 (Part 2) Leaving the capital
Chapter 157 (Part 2) Leaving the capital
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi fully supported Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s choice. They¡¯ve gone through so many things. They could finally be reunited. To this couple, there was nothing better than this!
Since it was Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue who decided to leave, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi began to arrange the things for them.
It was just, after leaving this time, they didn¡¯t know when they would return. Wanyan Ming Yue wanted to go see her mother Dongfang Lan before she leaves. Feng Xie agreed to go with her. After all, Dongfang Lan was Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s mother. Since that thing happened to them, she had been sad and crying for them. They were about to leave, they couldn¡¯t not go see the old mother.
When Murong Qi Qi went to Jinxuan pce with the disguised Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue, Qing Gu was already waiting smilingly at the enrtance.
¡°Aunt Qing, why are you here?¡± Murong Qi Qi was very surprised. Qing Gu went forward and paid her respect, ¡°When the empress dowager woke up this morning, she heard the Eurasian magpie call on the branch. She said that today, you will certainlye and let this ve wait here for you!¡±
¡°Eurasian magpie announces good news. It was really a good sign!¡± Murong Qi Qi went in with Qing Gu. When they arrived at Dongfang Lan¡¯s temple, did Qing Gu found out that the two people behind Murong Qi Qi also came in.
¡°Princess, they are?¡±
¡°Aunt, they¡¯re one of our own. Aunt, troubling you to look out for us, alright? I have some important things to tell grandmother!¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Qing Gu nodded. She was just about to brush past Wanyan Ming Yue, but when she saw that pair of eyes of Wanyan Ming Yue, she paused, ¡°This miss looks so familiar...¡±
Qing Gu¡¯s words made Wanyan Ming Yue couldn¡¯t held back. Her tears fell. She took down the human skin mask on her face. Wanyan Ming Yue called out, ¡°Aunt Qing, long time no see...¡±
¡°Prin...princess?!¡± Hearing this familiar voice and seeing this familiar face, Qing Gu froze there.
That Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue were still alive, Dongfang Lan already told her, this confidante. So, when she saw that pair of eyes that looked like Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s, she felt it was very familiar. She didn¡¯t think that this person was really princess!
¡°Princess, it¡¯s really you! You¡¯re still alive! This, this...this is so great!¡±
Qing Gu¡¯s excited voice began to tremble. Immediately, Qing Gu knelt in front of Wanyan Ming Yue, ¡°Qing Gu, greats princess! Princess is still alive. Really so great!¡±
¡°Aunt Qing, quickly stand up!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue helped Qing Gu stand up. Qing Gu wiped her tears and looked at the man next to Wanyan Ming Yue, ¡°Then, you¡¯re certainly great general!¡±
¡°It¡¯s me!¡± At this time, Feng Xie also removed his human skin mask.
¡°So great! Princess and great general are safe and unharmed. Miss will certainly be happy! This ve, this ve will go tell miss now!¡±
After taking two steps, Qing Gu suddenly stopped, ¡°Look at how urgent this ve is. It¡¯s better for you to go see miss! I will look out! Princess, great general, please enter!¡±
Qing Gu closed the door. Under Murong Qi Qi¡¯s lead, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie went inside.
It was very quiet here. Nothing from the outside could be hears. Dongfang Lan was kneeling in front of the gold-ted Buddha statue. Her left hand turned the Buddha beads. Her right hand knocked on the wooden fish, ¡°Tok, tok, tok...¡±
¡°Bless and protect my Ming Yue. Bless and protect my Feng Xie. Bless and protect my child¡¯s safety!¡± Dongfang Lan read out aloud. Murong Qi had been here many times. She had saw this scene many times. Instead, it was Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s and Feng Xie¡¯s eyes that were covered with tears when they saw the gray-haired mother still praying for them in front of Buddha.
Wanyan Ming Yue walked slowly over. She knelt beside Dongfang Lan. She looked at the sideface of Dongfang Lan¡¯s old face. Her tears kept falling.
¡°Qi Qi, you¡¯vee...,¡± Hearing the sound, Dongfang Lan turned her face, ¡°Today you came so early...¡±
She didn¡¯t finish her sentence, when she froze.
¡°Mother...,¡± Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face was full of tears. A ¡®mother¡¯ poured out all the emotions in her heart.
¡®Kuang...¡¯ The wooden fish rod and the Buddha beads in Dongfang Lan¡¯s hands fell on the ground. She didn¡¯t dare to believe her eyes, ¡°Ming Yue, it¡¯s really you? It¡¯s really my Ming Yue?¡±
¡°Mother...,¡± Wanyan Ming Yue also didn¡¯t hold back. She jumped into Dongfang Lan¡¯s arms.
At this point, Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s voice was choked. She wasn¡¯t able to say more words. She could only repeatedly cry out ¡®mother¡¯ as if she wanted to shout out all the grievances of more than a decade through this ¡®mother¡¯.
¡°Ming Yue!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s hands were trembling. She stroked Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair. That¡¯s right. It¡¯s her Ming Yue! This body is warm. Ming Yue is still alive! She finally waited until Ming Yue appeared!
Because of the reconciliation of this pair of mother and daughter, the room was filed with ayer of happy grief atmosphere. Feng Xie came to Dongfang Lan, knelt and kowtowed. He also called, ¡°Mother!¡±
¡°Feng Xie! So great! You¡¯re still alive! It¡¯s really so great!¡± Dongfang Lan was full of tears and quickly wiped her tears, ¡°So great!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie, one at the left and one at the right, helped Dongfang Lan up, but they were stopped by Dongfang Lan. She knelt respectfully in front of the Buddha statue. With both hands on the ground, she kowtowed, ¡°Thanks Buddha! Thanking Buddha for letting our whole family to reunite! Thanks, Buddha!¡±
Only after kowtowing three times, did Dongfang Lan stand up. Her left hand pulled Wanyan Ming Yue. Her right hand pulled Feng Xie. She looked at the left and looked at the right. She excitedly nodded repeatedly, ¡°Good, good! Good!¡±
The reunion of mother and daughter was something Dongfang Lan wanted to have even in her dreams. Originally, she thought that it was only a luxury. She didn¡¯t expect that the ultimate dream became a reality. How could Dongfang Lan not be excited?
The reunion of a family; the tears on Dongfang Lan face were gradually reced by a smile. She embraced Wanyan Ming Yue and refused to let go. The mother and daughter had too many things to say. The two talked till the evening. Dongfang Lan wished to continue.
When she heard that all these years, Wanyan Ming Yue had been in a deep sleep and was at the underground of Long Autumn pce, Dongfang Lan was furious. It turned out that these years, her daughter was at her side, but she, the mother didn¡¯t know. It resulted in that she was separated from Wanyan Ming Yue for full sixteen years. How could she not hate?!
¡°So, it was all done by Wanyan Lie?! He caused my flesh to be separated from me. Everything was done by him?!¡±
When mentioning Wanyan Lie, Dongfang Lan felt so much hate that her teeth made sounds from gritting together.
He disguised it very well. He always appeared with the image of a filial son. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Lie was the person who hid the deepest. He had long harbored evil intentions, but he still pretended that nothing had happened! So damn him!
¡°Mother, don¡¯t be angry lest to make your body sick from anger. Big brother indeed went too overboard, but I and big brother Xie had already decided to not pursue the matter of the past. We already missed too much and also lost too much. Now, we can grow old together is my and big brother Xie¡¯s greatest wish.¡±
Dongfang Lan could understand Wanyan Ming Yue. That they could put it down was also freeing themselves.
Knowing that Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie decided to leave, Dongfang Lan was very sad. It was just, if they stay in the capital, wouldn¡¯t it bring trouble if something goes wrong? This couple already suffered enough! They couldn¡¯t undergo more hardship!
Although, Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t want to be separated from her daughter and son-inw, but she couldn¡¯t be selfish when it involved Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie¡¯s safety. She couldn¡¯t use motherly love to tie them. ¡°Good! It¡¯s also good if you leave this troubling ce sooner! Look for a safe ce first to lie low. When Wanyan Lie discover you¡¯re gone, he would definitely do some crazy things. I support you leaving!¡±
Seeing that it was not early anymore, Dongfang Lan endured her missing of the daughter and urged them to quickly wear their human skin mask. Just knowing that they were alive, that they were safe, even if she couldn¡¯t see them, it was also good!
¡°Remember to write letters to me and inform me of your safety! Ming Yue, eat well and nurture your body well! Feng Xie, take good care of Ming Yue. I only have this one daughter!¡±
Before leaving, Dongfang Lan held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. She repeatedly reminded them and escorted them to the entrance of the pce. Until when their figures disappeared, Dongfang Lan went back to Jinxuan pce with the help of Qing Gu.
That same day, Murong Qi Qi took the disguised Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie to Nan Lin wangfu1. Feng Cang prepared a carriage. Together with Murong Qi Qi, they personally escorted the two.
¡°Dad, mother, you can first go to Nan four states. There are my people there. They will take good care of you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi once again checked Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s pulse and prescribed numerous prescription. She also wrote down the diet and nutrition in detail and let Feng Xie keep it well. She gave Wanyan Ming Yue her keepsake to facilitate them to contact Moyu¡¯s people.
¡°Good! Good!¡± Knowing that her daughter was so promising, Wanyan Ming Yue was very surprised. However, after the surprise, she was very pleased. Such a Murong Qi Qi let Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s concerns for her daughter lessen a bit. It seemed, she (MQQ) could take good care of herself.
¡°Cang er2, you told me your matter. Getting rid of the poison is a big matter, ah! The gu poison tortured you for so many years. After, I and your dad leavw, you won¡¯t have qualms and worries anymore. The things you need to do, do it with all your might!¡±
¡°Although, we let go of Wanyan Lie, but he did you wrong. Don¡¯t be lenient in what you need to do! It¡¯s just...now, you¡¯re not one person anymore. You have Qi Qi. In the future, you will have children. So, you need to n carefully. Or you don¡¯t act or the moment, you act, give the other party a fatal blow. You can¡¯t leave hidden dangers. I don¡¯t want to see my and your father¡¯s tragedy happen on you. Cang er, do you understand mother?¡±
¡°Mother, I know!¡± Feng Cang nodded, ¡°You and dad, don¡¯t worry! I will definitely take care of Qing Qing and also cure myself!¡±
After sending away Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue, Murong Qi Qi leaned in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. At this time, it was almost night. The wind was a bit cold. Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s waist and sniffed the fragrance of her hair softly.
Today, they¡¯ve gone through too many things. In any case, Wanyan Ming Yue was safe and sound and could live happily with Feng Xie. This was something good. Thest reminder of Wanyan Ming Yue was also something Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi considered recently.
Inside a house in the capital, Xia Xue put the information about Bai Yi Yue and Su Mei in front of Misha. It was only few papers, but she investigated for several days.
¡°Why is it only so little?¡± Misha frowned and expressed dissatisfaction to Xia Xue¡¯s performance.
Seeing that Misha was angry, Xia Xue quickly knelt, ¡°Answering young master, inside Bei Zhou, we have no influence. Moyu¡¯s and Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people doesn¡¯t ept our conditions. The other forces don¡¯t have so much ability. So, it¡¯s troublesome to find information.¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s exnation made Misha¡¯s expression look a bit better. He no longer reprimanded Xia Xue. Misha began to study the information.
From the information Xia Xue found, Bai Yi Yue is ady of a great family. She was born with a golden spoon. Besides, she¡¯s elegant and ssy and she treated people amiably. A good origin, excellent manners; everything was so perfect...However, Yi Lian, will you be reborn in the body of Bai Yi Yue?
Misha had been staring at the painting of Bai Yi Yue. He wanted to ovep the face on the painting with the person in his memories.
¡°Lian Sheng, you¡¯re my big brother! We can¡¯t be like this! Quickly let me go!¡±
¡°Yi Lian, we don¡¯t have blood rtion. I love you, I love you, ah! That year, when adoptive father brought you back, when adoptive mother carried out the cleaned you, you were like a little angel! At that moment, I fell in love with you!¡±
¡°Lian Sheng, what are you talking about? I always treated you as a big brother!¡±
¡°But I didn¡¯t regard you as my little sister! Yi Lian, I love you! I want you to be my woman!¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯
¡°Yi Lian, you hit me?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! I want you to wake up! The bones of adoptive father haven¡¯t turned cold yet; you don¡¯t go with me to find the murderer who killed adoptive father, but is talking about love with me here. Lian Sheng, what¡¯s the matter with you? Now, our most important matter is to find out the truth and avenge adoptive father.¡±
¡°Avenge? Hahaha! Yi Lian, do you know who killed adoptive father? It¡¯s me, ah...¡±
¡°What did you do?!¡±
¡°That old bastard knew I like you, but not only did he not help me, but he persuaded me to leave you. He also fabricated lies that you¡¯re my biological little sister to lie to me. Tell me, doesn¡¯t he deserve to die?¡±
¡°Lian Sheng, you¡¯re crazy! You¡¯re really crazy!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m crazy! I am crazy for you and I am insane for you! My heart for you these years, could it be that you don¡¯t know?! I did so many things for you; could it be that you didn¡¯t see?! Yi Lian, I love you!¡±
¡°F*** off! You¡¯re a demon! You killed adoptive father! Adoptive father brought us up and regarded us as his own children. You actually did such a thing! I want to kill you to avenge adoptive father!¡±
¡®Ka...¡¯ ¡°Yi Lian, can you still move now? The gun is in my hand. Your weapon is not at your side. With what can you fight me?¡±
¡°You put drug in the water? Lian Sheng, you¡¯ve changed. You¡¯ve be so frightening. I can¡¯t even recognize you anymore! If you have the guts, then kill me today! Otherwise, as long as I¡¯m a day alive, I will kill you! I won¡¯t let you have a day of peace! Also, don¡¯t think about getting me!¡±
¡°Yi Lian, don¡¯t force me!¡±
¡°Demon, go to hell!¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯
¡°Yi Lian...,¡± Misha vigorously opened his eyes. A denseyer of sweat was on his forehead. Yi Lian...
¡°Young master, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xia Xue saw Misha like that, she quickly poured water and put it in front of him. Then she took a clean handkerchief. Xia Xue was about to wipe the sweats for Misha, but she was stopped by Misha, ¡°I will do it myself! Xia Xue, I already said, I don¡¯t like others touching me, especially women!¡±
Misha said these words extremely severe. Because of his words, there were some waves on Xia Xue¡¯s cold face.
¡°Yes, young master, I was wrong...¡± Misha didn¡¯t notice that when he said those words, a trace of destion shed through Xia Xue¡¯s eyes. Now, Misha was only thinking about Yi Lian.
Yi Lian, you must¡¯ve also came to this world! Yi Lian, where are you? Will you forgive me? I was wrong. Really, I was wrong! Yi Lian, I beg you, give me one more chance. Let me make it up for you! Let me love you, can I?
Misha gently wiped the sweat off his face. Just now, in his mind emerged thest scene from the past life. Where was that woman who he loves, but also who died at his hand?
He already came to this world for six years! After killing Yi Lian in an impulse, he also suicided from a bullet! Originally, he thought that he died. He treated the adoptive father who raised him like that. He treated the woman he loved like that. After his death, his soul will certainly suffer in hell.
However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that he would be reborn on Peni ind; on this beautiful boy called Misha¡¯s body.
Presumably, it was the heaven¡¯s blessing. It pitied his infatuation. That was why it gave him the opportunity to live once more. once more. However, god also punished him because of the evil he did. So, he let him to never be able to stand up again.
Yi Lian, I came here. You must¡¯ve also came...
Misha was somewhat absentminded looking at Bai Yi Yue¡¯s information. The moment he remembered that in the end, Yi Lian called him ¡®demon¡¯, his heart would twitch in pain. He wasn¡¯t a demon. He was only loving her humbly. He only wanted to grow old with her.
Misha¡¯s fingertips gently touched Bai Yi Yue¡¯s painting.
Willow eyebrows and almond eyes. Bai Yi Yue was a traditional beauty. She was natural. This face waspletely different from the person in his memories. If she was Yi Lian, how great would that be?!
When he finds Yi Lian and stand in front of Yi Lian, she will certainly also not recognize him!
Changing into this innocent face and bing a young beautiful boy, in the beginning, he really wasn¡¯t used to it. However, Misha believed that if Yi Lian was really here, she will definitely recognize him. Because, he is Lian Sheng who grew up with her! How could she not recognize him?!
¡°Xia Xue, look for an opportunity to bring Bai Yi Yue out...¡± Misha¡¯s fingertips tapped the handle of the wheelchair. He couldn¡¯t wait to see her.

Chapter 158 (Part 1) Su Yue¡¯s wedding night
ording to the information, after she¡¯d participated in the tournament of the four countries, Bai Yi Yue stayed within Yan capital.
Bai family also had shops in Yan capital. Bai Yi Yue looked after the business of this side. That¡¯s why, she was still in Yan capital.
¡°Yes, young master.¡± Seeing such a Misha, Xia Xue felt a pain in her heart. Young master, in your eyes, in your heart, you only have Yi Lian. Could you turn around sometimes, to look at me who is behind you...
After sending Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue away, Murong Qi Qi felt a lot more rxed. Dad and Mom had gone to pursue their happiness. When can she and Feng Cang be free and easy?
During these past few days, Ming Yue Cheng often came to Nan Lin wangfu.1
Don¡¯t know if it was because he¡¯d opened his heart, confessed his love for Murong Qi Qi and revealed that he wouldn¡¯t intervene in the rtionship of Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, but Feng Cang didn¡¯t refuse his visits. Instead, he¡¯d also invited him to be a guest at Tingsong building. In the course of time, he¡¯d gotten to know a few good friends.
¡°Ming Yue, is a gu really so frightening? It seems that I won¡¯t dare to pick up gold off the ground anymore. If by chance, it¡¯s a golden thread gu; what should I do if it tangles with me?! Heavens, ah! Too frightening! Fortunately, I¡¯m at Bei Zhou!¡±
Inside Tingsong Building, after hearing Ming Yue Cheng talk about the golden thread gu, Wanyan Kang began to bellow.
¡°Before, you invited me to Nan Feng. Forget it! I won¡¯t go! If by chance, a gu followed me when I return, then I wouldn¡¯t be far from death! I haven¡¯t taken a wife yet and haven¡¯t made a son!¡±
While saying this, Wanyan Kang nced once at Su Mei. Su Mei blushed and humphed lightly. She turned her face and looked elsewhere.
¡°Gu is in fact not so frightening. To the Qiang tribe, gu is their friend and is a part of their life. Under normal circumstances, the people of Qiang tribe wouldn¡¯t put gu on another person.¡± Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Ming Yue Chengughed. A shallow dimple appeared in the middle of his chin.
¡°Not frightening?! Didn¡¯t you say that the women of Qiang tribe are worried that their men wouldn¡¯t go home, so they put the gu of yearning on them?! That is their husband, ah; do they really have the heart to do it?¡±
Thinking about the feeling of that kind of worm crawling around in the body, Wanyan Kang touched the goosebumps on his body. He shook his head again and again, ¡°Anyway, I won¡¯t go to Nan Feng. Even if you beat me to death, I won¡¯t go!¡±
¡°Haha...,¡± Ming Yue Chengughed slowly. ¡°The women of the Qiang tribe put weight in love. In the Qiang tribe, usually the husband only has one wife. The earliest gu was also generated to maintain the monogamy. As long as the husband is good to the wife, the woman wouldn¡¯t use the gu!¡±
Like his empress mother, Miao Chu Yun. She was also a woman who puts weight in love. Otherwise, with her tactics, how could she have been burned to death in the cold pce...
¡°Did you hear?!¡± Su Mei red once at Wanyan Kang. ¡°If the man doesn¡¯t leave the rails, the woman wouldn¡¯t be merciless to deal with their own husband!¡±
Leave the rails: have an extramarital affair
Su Mei was warning Wanyan Kang. If by chance he had a second heart, it was hard to ensure that she wouldn¡¯t learn from the women of the Qiang tribe.
¡°How would I?! Little Mei er,2 do you not know what kind of person I am?!¡± Wanyan Kang fawned to Su Mei¡¯s side. He stabbed her with his elbow. ¡°Don¡¯t worry a hundred and twenty percent!¡±
Compared to the liveliness of Su Mei and Wanyan Kang, Su Yue was particrly quiet. She listened to Ming Yue Cheng talk about the customs of Nan Feng. At her side was an embroidery box. She was stitching clothes.
Nn Xin was sitting at the other side. He wasn¡¯t far nor near from Su Yue. Every time Murong Qi Qi returned with Su Yue, they would encounter Nn Xin.
On several asions, Nn Xin wanted to find a chance to speak with Su Yue, but she always had an expression that put people a thousand miles away, making Nn Xin swallow the words that were on his lips.
Nn Xin knew that because he¡¯d secretly followed Su Yue, he could be considered to have offended her greatly. Usually, when looking at Su Mei and Su Yue, he felt that Su Mei was hot-tempered and not easy to mess with. He didn¡¯t expect that Su Yue was the truly stubborn one. Just because of the matter of following her, she¡¯d ignored him for a long time. Looking at Su Yue¡¯s meaning, she must be intending to ignore him for life. What should he do?!
Nn Xin¡¯s expression fell into Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes. He had discussed privately with Su Mei about Su Yue and Nn Xin. The two felt that it was not good that they continued to be in a deadlock like this. Besides, the two always felt that Su Yue and the ¡®cunning old fox¡¯ Nn Xin was a true pair.
Wanyan Kang was calcting in his heart. After all, Su Yue was also a sister of Su Mei. If he pulled the red string for them, firstly, it could be an achievement of virtue. As for secondly, maybe it could also boost his and Su Mei¡¯s feelings.
Now, after seeing Nn Xin looking so dejected and the smile on his face was also very forced, Wanyan Kang gave Su Mei a nce. The two pretended to be very ¡®yful¡¯. Su Mei ¡®bumped¡¯ against Su Yue.
¡°Aiya!¡± A moment of carelessness, the needle pricked into Su Yue¡¯s finger.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry! Su Yue, are you alright?!¡± Su Mei quickly looked at Su Yue. After seeing the blood spot be a blood droplet, Su Mei ¡®screamed¡¯ in surprise, ¡°Aiya, so many blood, ah! Su Yue, are you alright?!¡±
Su Yue was about to shake her head and say that everything was fine, when a figure rushed over and pushed Su Mei away from Su Yue¡¯s side. That person quickly grabbed Su Yue¡¯s small hand and carefully checked, ¡°Where? Where are you hurt? Let me look!¡±
Not waiting for Su Yue to understand, from her fingertip came a warmth. She looked again, Nn Xin had his head down and was sucking her bloodstained fingertip.
¡®Shua!¡¯ A torrent of blood rushed to Su Yue¡¯s head, making her head buzz. Her face also burned.
¡°The bleeding stopped. Everything is alright now...,¡± When Nn Xin raised his head, Su Yue raised her hand and gave him a p in the face. ¡°Rogue!¡± Su Yue threw away the clothes in her hand and rushed out with a teary face.
This p made Nn Xin¡¯s head dizzy. Only after a long while, did he understand. Men and women shouldn¡¯t have physical contact. Su Yue was not as hot-tempered as Su Mei, naturally, she¡¯s reserved. Now, he¡¯d touched her hand in the presence of everyone and also sucked her fingertip in everyone¡¯s view. This was indeed a bit of a ¡®rogue¡¯.
¡°Fool, are you still not going to chase?!¡± Wanyan Kang saw that Nn Xin was still foolishly standing there, he went forward and pushed him, ¡°Go!¡±
After being reminded by Wanyan Kang, Nn Xin suddenly sobered up. He immediately pulled up his sleeves and chased after her.
Su Yue walked around the wangfu. She was shy and angry when she thought about what had happened. This bastard! He¡¯d actually licked her finger in public! Wasn¡¯t this ruining her reputation?! Usually, Nn Xin is a gentleman. She didn¡¯t expect his character to be so poor!
At this point, Nn Xin¡¯s image plummeted to the bottom in Su Yue¡¯s heart. Before, he¡¯d showed an appearance of liking her was because he¡¯d wanted to follow her to investigate miss. Now, he pretended to be worried about the injury on her hand, but he did such a thing to her. Really, damn this bastard!
¡°Miss Su Yue! Miss Su Yue!¡±
Su Yue was mercilessly scolding Nn Xin in her heart when she heard his voicee closer. When Nn Xin stood in front of Su Yue, her expression immediately got cold. ¡°What did youe for?¡±
¡°Miss Su Yue, I was wrong just now. I was too anxious...I, I only wanted to tell you...I don¡¯t have other thoughts, I...was concerned about you!¡±
Seeing Su Yue¡¯s cold face, Nn Xin knew that she certainly must¡¯ve misunderstood him. He quickly exined to Su Yue. However, the more anxious he got, the more he stuttered. The more he stuttered, the more anxious he got and then he stuttered even more. Hisst few words stumbled together.
¡°Concerned? I don¡¯t need your concern! I can¡¯t afford it!¡± Although Nn Xin¡¯s appearance looked really funny, but Su Yue couldn¡¯tugh. If it wasn¡¯t because Nn Xin¡¯s identity was special, that he was Feng Cang¡¯s confidant, she definitely would¡¯ve killed him for disrespecting her today.
From Su Yue¡¯s eyes, Nn Xin saw coldness and grievance. This little woman had a stubborn expression. She was obviously restraining her emotions. If it was Su Mei, presumably, she would¡¯ve long fought with the other person!
¡°That...,¡± Su Yue was silent; Nn Xin also didn¡¯t know how to coax a girl¡¯s favor. He kept saying ¡®that¡¯ for a long time, and then Nn Xin finally mustered the courage and spoke, ¡°I will take responsibility over you!¡±
¡°Puchi...,¡± After the people who¡¯d followed him here, heard Nn Xin¡¯s words, they couldn¡¯t help butugh. Thisughter made Su Yue be even more embarrassed.
¡°Who wants you to take responsibility?! Who cares for your responsibility!¡± Su Yue¡¯s eyes got wet. Her tears almost fell. What did Nn Xin take her for? Did he think that she couldn¡¯t marry and now was taking this opportunity to push herself on him? She didn¡¯t need such insincerity!
Had to say, a girl¡¯s heart is sensitive and fragile. The usually rational Su Yue, when facing emotional problems, her brain will be in chaos like a paste. Compared to her, Nn Xin wasn¡¯t much better.
When Nn Xin saw the tears spinning in Su Yue¡¯s eyes, but she¡¯d forced herself not to let the tears fall down, Nn Xin¡¯s heart ached a lot. He took a step forward and took Su Yue in his arms.
¡°Don¡¯t cry. When you cry, my heart will hurt!¡±
Nn Xin didn¡¯t know how to sweet talk, but it so happened that the words he used to express his feelings sounded like glib ¡®words of love¡¯ to coax a person in Su Yue¡¯s ears.
¡°Bastard, let me go!¡± Su Yue struggled.
Just now, her finger had been licked by this man in public. Now, she was tightly hugged by him. What did this Nn Xin want to do? Could it be that he wanted wangfu¡¯s people to see this scene and want to make her unable to marry?!
¡°Let go!¡± Don¡¯t know if it was flying into a rage out of humiliation or that she lost her rationality. Su Yue hit Nn Xin¡¯s chest with her two soft fists. She used force. The fists fell on Nn Xin, making ¡®bang¡¯ sounds.
Nn Xin knew that he made Su Yue angry, but he didn¡¯t intend to let go. It seemed that if he let go, she would be like before; hide far away from him and no longer get close to him. Nn Xin didn¡¯t like that feeling. That feeling of being alienated by Su Yue was really ufortable.
¡°I won¡¯t let go!¡± Nn Xin expressed more stubbornness than Su Yue. With a swollen left cheek, Nn Xin tightened his arms and firmly locked Su Yue in his arms, imprisoning her like a strong chain. ¡°I won¡¯t let go for this whole lifetime!¡±
Being held like this by a man for the first time, Su Yue¡¯s face had turned red. Plus the fact that she couldn¡¯t escape and also heard those honeyed love words of Nn Xin, Su Yue felt sad. She couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. Her tears fell.
¡°You, you bullied me!¡±
This sound, angry with a trace of tremble, was like the heart of a shy and pure girl, making Nn Xin¡¯s heart jump badly.
¡°I didn¡¯t bully you!¡± Su Yue¡¯s tears made Nn Xin panicpletely. He quickly let go and used his sleeve to wipe her tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry! I really didn¡¯t bully you! I truly like you! I couldn¡¯t like you more, how would I bully you?!¡±
Nn Xin¡¯s words made Su Yue cry even harder.
Before, he showed a look of interest to her, making her heart also gradually be moved. However, in the end, the result was that he¡¯d followed her to investigate Murong Qi Qi. The feeling of being used made Su Yue very sad. Especially being used on the emotional level made her heart get a knot.
Now, Nn Xin said that he loves her. This made Su Yue afraid. She felt that maybe this was another trap, making her unable to believe him.
Su Yue cried like a tearing doll. She vented out all the grievances she felt. Nn Xin was flustered. He kept wiping away Su Yue¡¯s tears. On his sleeves were the tears of Su Yue.
Su Yue¡¯s cry brought all the people of the wangfu over. Usually, Su Yue treated people very well. So, her poprity in wangfu was very high. Now, after seeing Su Yue cry, everyone thought that Nn Xin had bullied her. Many people began to point at Nn Xin. They joined together in groups of three and five and began to whisper about it.
¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore! I beg you!¡±
For the first time, Nn Xin became the focus of wangfu, making him somewhat unable to adapt. Besides, there wereints in the eyes of those people. It seemed obvious that he¡¯d bullied the girl, making Nn Xin somewhat unable to keep a straight face.
¡°I beg you! Or, hit me! If you¡¯re angry, hit me!¡±
Nn Xin lifted Su Yue¡¯s hand and pped his own face. He didn¡¯t get a chance to p a second time, when Su Yue¡¯s face got red. She retrieved her hand.
¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore, ah! If you continue to cry, everyone will peel my skin!¡±
Seeing that Su Yue no longer shed tears, Nn Xin let out a sigh of relief. Just now, he was anxious. On his forehead was a denseyer of sweat. Because of nervousness, Nn Xin¡¯s face also became red. On his left cheek was still the p Su Yue gave him. It was so clear; five fingerprints. How funny he could look was how funny it was.
Nn Xin¡¯s sorry figure made Su Yue want tough. However, when she thought about what had happened, her face sunk again. ¡°Go! We will take it as if nothing had happened! In the future, if you see me, hide. Otherwise, if I see you, I¡¯ll hit you!¡±
Originally, it was a happy thing that Su Yue didn¡¯t cry anymore. However, herst words directly sent Nn Xin to the eighteenth level of hell and gave him a coldness throughout his heart.
What did this mean? What is ¡®take it as if nothing had happened¡¯? He¡¯d kissed her fingertip, hugged her and also expressed his heart to her, with one -nothing had happened-, she wanted to wipe all of these? How could she be like this?!
For the first time, Nn Xin¡¯s face sank. He stared at Su Yue¡¯s face. He gritted his teeth, grabbed Su Yue¡¯s hand and rushed into Tingsong building.
¡°Nn Xin, what are you doing, ah?!¡± Su Yue wanted to throw off his hand, however, Nn Xin¡¯s strength was very strong. Usually, he looked like a weak schr. She didn¡¯t expect that he¡¯s someone who exercised. ¡°Let go!¡±
Nn Xin didn¡¯t listen to Su Yue. He pulled her into Tingsong building.
Inside the room, Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang and Ming Yue Cheng were chatting. They heard a ¡®bang¡¯ sound. The door was pushed open. Then, they saw Nn Xin pulling Su Yue and came in front of Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang in full swing.
Nn Xin lifted his robe with one hand and knelt in front of Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. The other hand pulled Su Yue hard, forcing her to kneel together with him.
¡°You...¡±

Chapter 158 (Part 2) Su Yue’s wedding night
Chapter 158 (Part 2) Su Yue¡¯s wedding night
Seeing such a scene, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s gaze was a bit meaningful. It seemed that there¡¯s a good y, yo!
¡°Nn, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Wangfei,1 I like Su Yue. Please betroth her to me!¡±
The moment Nn Xin opened his mouth, it made Su Yue dizzy. He, he is simply a madman! He¡¯d actually rushed here with her to ask for marriage from Murong Qi Qi. Where was there such a person?!
In spite of this, there was a small rabbit jumping everywhere in Su Yue¡¯s heart.
Su Yue didn¡¯t say anything. Nn Xin felt a bit morefortable. He was truly afraid that she would put forward some objections. Then, it would be like he was forcing a girl!
¡°Alright!¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded on t spot. Only when she heard Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice did Su Yue react. What was she doing? She actually didn¡¯t object?!
¡°Miss...,¡± Su Yue¡¯s expression was nk.
¡°Aiya, today is really a good day! I was wondering why I was feeling so good! It turns out that Nn Xin wants to marry Su Yue, ah! Cang, what day do you say is good? We will pick a good day and finish their matter! What do you say?!¡±
How would Murong Qi Qi allow Su Yue to refuse? During this period, she saw Nn Xin¡¯s haggardness and him currying favor from Su Yue. She knew that these two people held ¡®grudges¡¯, because of the matter of being followed. This matter had happened so long ago. Besides, she and Feng Cang were one family. If they continued to be at loggerheads like this, it would be a bit overboard.
Su Yue was not like Su Mei. Su Mei was someone who would take the initiative in the matters of love and has an outgoing personality. She knew what she wanted and would strive for it. Su Yue was different. She would hesitate and be indecisive. She would even retreat and act cowardly. So this time, she needed someone to give her a push from behind!
Murong Qi Qi was very at ease with someone like Nn Xin to look after Su Yue. Nn Xin is Feng Cang¡¯s left and right hand. He¡¯s a good man. She didn¡¯t intend to let Su Yue and Su Mei stay at her side forever. She is happy. She also needs to see their happiness. So this time, Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t mind to ¡®force a marriage¡¯ and set Su Yue¡¯s marriage.
Naturally, Feng Cang knew Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts. He answered, ¡°To select an auspicious day would not make it better than today. It might as well be today.¡±
¡°That is really great!¡± Murong Qi Qi stood up, called Su Mei and told her to order everyone. In a few moments, the fact that Su Yue and Nn Xin would be marrying today spread through the whole wangfu.2 Everyone began to get busy to prepare for their wedding.
¡°Mi...miss...,¡± Only when Murong Qi Qi took a rest did Su Yue understand what had happened. This time, miss had really ¡®sold¡¯ her. ¡°Miss, I won¡¯t leave you!¡±
¡°Silly girl! I didn¡¯t force you to leave, what are you anxious for?! By marrying Nn Xin, in the future, you and I will be one family!¡± Seeing Su Yue¡¯s appearance, she also seemed to like Nn Xin. If she didn¡¯t force Su Yue to go on the sedan chair, she didn¡¯t know till when this pair will ¡®torture¡¯ each other.
¡°Miss...,¡± Su Yue blushed. She wanted to say some more, but was directly pulled to the upstairs by Murong Qi Qi. She had to prepare a bath, a dress, and make-up for the bride.
Downstairs, Nn Xin wasughing a bit foolishly. He didn¡¯t expect that the marriage would be set like this by Murong Qi Qi! Originally, he thought that Su Yue wouldn¡¯t agree and the matter would be deadlocked. He didn¡¯t expect that Murong Qi Qi would step in and finish it. It was truly incredible! He was about to be the groom!
¡°Tsk, tsk, did you be a fool?!¡± Wanyan Kang had his arms crossed and looked at Nn Xin. His eyes were full of envy.
He hadn¡¯t noticed before that Nn Xin was such a powerful character! The moment he confessed, he would get the beauty! He pestered Su Mei for so long, but he didn¡¯t see Su Mei nod. It seemed that he had done it the wrong way. He should¡¯ve done it like Nn Xin. He should¡¯ve begged cousin brother and cousin-inw from the beginning!
When Murong Qi Qi put the already prepared cor and veil in front of Su Yue, Su Yue¡¯s eyes got warm. She was very touched. It turned out that Murong Qi Qi had long began to prepare these things for her and Su Mei. With one look, she knew that this mboyant wedding dress and the beautiful cor was personally designed by Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Miss...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cry! The bride shouldn¡¯t cry!¡± Seeing that Su Yue¡¯s tears was about to fall, Murong Qi Qi quickly prepared a handkerchief. ¡°I¡¯ve long prepared these! This set is yours. It was designed ording to your body measurement and it was just waiting for today!¡±
¡°Miss, you¡¯re so good to Su Yue!¡± Because Murong Qi Qi said that a bride shouldn¡¯t cry, Su Yue tried hard not to cry.
¡°You followed me for so long and took care of me so much. These are things that I should do!¡± Murong Qi Qi personally put the wedding dress on Su Yue. Su Yue looked particrly beautiful. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t know how to do the hair. She handed that task over to Su Mei. She (MQQ) began to put make-up on Su Yue.
The whole afternoon was very busy. When it was night, the wangfu was decorated with light. Everywhere were rednterns. Inside the building also burned -thick as a child¡¯s arms- dragon phoenix candles. The whole atmosphere was beautiful.
Aside from the people of the wangfu, along with Wanyan Kang and Ming Yue Cheng, there were no other guests present on this day. However, just with these people, it was already very lively. Under the charge of Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, Nn Xin first bowed to the heavens with Su Yue. Then, Su Yue was sent to the wedding room. Nn Xin was pulled out for a drink.
Don¡¯t know if it was because of envy, jealousy or hate, but Wanyan Kang kept pouring wine for Nn Xin. In his words, ¡°This brat is too lucky!¡± He also wished that he could marry Su Mei sooner, but Su Mei never loosened, making Wanyan Kang somewhat worried from waiting.
It was the first time that Ming Yue Cheng had participated in such a thing. After witnessing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®taking charge of the wedding¡¯ and also taking charge of the things that had followed, he finally understood why Murong Qi Qi had chosen Feng Cang.
This man pampered Murong Qi Qi to the heavens. He would immediately do what she wanted. He wouldn¡¯t hesitate and also wouldn¡¯t be suspicious. At this point, Ming Yue Cheng asked himself and felt that he couldn¡¯t reach Feng Cang¡¯s standard. No wonder, he (FC) would eventually win...
¡°Come,e,e! Drink!¡± Ming Yue Cheng liked to drink. He felt that drinking from a cup was not fun enough. He let people change them for big bowls. ¡°Come,e,e, we will not go home until we¡¯re drunk today!¡±
Inside the wangfu, because of Su Yue¡¯s marriage, it was very lively. Only when the twilight hadpletely enveloped the earth, the sky was dark blue and the moon hanging on the branches, was Nn Xin released by these people. He staggered to the wedding room.
Inside the room, the red candles were swaying. Su Yue, who¡¯s covered with a veil, was a bit nervous. She had never thought that she would marry one day. Today hade too soon. So sudden, that she wasn¡¯t prepared at all.
Even until now, Su Yue felt that she was dreaming. Everything had urred too quickly. So fast that it¡¯d caught her by surprise. Su Yue was very nervous. Her hands twisted the handkerchief. Her heart jumped very hard. The words Nn Xin had said during the day was now echoing in Su Yue¡¯s ears, making her heart feel very sweet.
Miss said that Nn Xin was someone trustworthy. Su Yue trusted in Murong Qi Qi.
After waiting for a long time, Su Yue finally heard Nn Xin¡¯s footsteps. Before, Su Mei was here to keep herpany. She¡¯d told her that everyone was pouring wine for Nn Xin in the hall. Su Yue thought that Nn Xin would definitely return smelling of alcohol. She didn¡¯t expect that the footsteps she could hear were not messy. Instead, they were very calm.
Nn Xin walked into the room and closed the door gently. Step by step, he walked towards Su Yue.
The light of the red candle sprinkled on Su Yue¡¯s body. A bit of red light coated her with a hallucinatory glory, making her look more charming.
¡°Su Yue...,¡± Nn Xin called gently. He reached out to pull Su Yue¡¯s veil.
¡°Su Yue, you¡¯re so beautiful...¡±
Nn Xin¡¯s words made the original red because of shyness face of Su Yue be even hotter. Nn Xin raised Su Yue¡¯s chin and looked her in the eyes, ¡°Su Yue, you¡¯re finally my wife!¡±
Su Yue didn¡¯t know what to say. She could only let Nn Xin take the lead. Her shy and reserved appearance made people love her even more. Nn Xin lowered his head. When he was about to kiss Su Yue, he heard a ¡®kuangdang¡¯ from outside, followed by Wanyan Kang¡¯s screams.
¡°Little Mei er,3 why did you hit me?¡±
¡°Are you not ashamed to eavesdrop?! Go! Don¡¯t disrupt them!¡±
Afterward, they could hear Wanyan Kang¡¯s screams, ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t twist my ear! I¡¯m, after all, a prince. I need to pay attention to my image!¡±
¡°Image, my ass!¡±
Wanyan Kang had identally interrupted Nn Xin¡¯s good thing, making him not know whether tough or cry. When it became quiet around them, they finally started the world with only the two of them...
Because of Su Yue¡¯s marriage, Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang specifically gave the young couple a month off. Feng Cang urged Nn Xin to take a look everywhere with Su Yue, such as a honeymoon or tour of the mountain and y in the water.
However, this suggestion of Feng Cang was rejected by the two people. Everyone knew that it had nowe to the critical moment. They were Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s power. They couldn¡¯t just leave. The two stayed in the wangfu and acted the same as usual. This let Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang feel some remorse. They felt a bit guilty to them.
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi began the preparation for the solution of the gu. Bai Yi Yue, at the other side, had received Nan Lin wangfu¡¯s invitation. The golden characters on the invitation were the three words ¡®Feng Qi Qi¡¯.
It turned out to be her! After Bai Yi Yue saw the content of the invitation, she frowned.
Ever since she knew that Murong Qi Qi was the daughter of Wanyan Ming Yue, Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t bother with her anymore. Even though Murong Qi Qi¡¯s Su Yue hade by several times, she had been rejected each time by Bai Yi Yue.
Bai Yi Yue had once regarded Murong Qi Qi as a very good friend. However, she had never imagined that Murong Qi Qi¡¯s mother was the ¡®main culprit¡¯ who had made her mother miserable her whole life...Wanyan Ming Yue.
No one could ept that her husband¡¯s heart would always hide another woman. When meeting with such a thing, even a very big-hearted wife will have a shadow in her heart. Her mother loved her father her whole life, but her father¡¯s heart always contained a woman he could never get.
The moment Bai Yi Yue was born, she got her father¡¯s love. Originally, her mother thought that this was the beginning of her husband¡¯s change of heart. She didn¡¯t expect that the name Yi Yue (remember Yue) would betray her husband¡¯s inner thoughts.
Although Bai Yi Yue knew that this matter had nothing to do with Murong Qi Qi and that Murong Qi Qi was innocent, but wasn¡¯t her mother also innocent?
People said that Bai household was big and had a huge business, but Bai household¡¯s old master only had one woman. In the era of three wives and four concubines, this was an extremely rare thing! Women of the world couldn¡¯t be more envious! However, who knew her mother, thedy of Bai household, would put a strong smile in front of everyone and cried behind everyone¡¯s backs?!
Looking at the invitation in her hand, Bai Yi Yue hesitated a little. She wanted to tear this invitation, but she couldn¡¯t bring her heart to do it. Murong Qi Qi was an outstanding woman. Bai Yi Yue knew that very well. Under predicament, she was neither servile nor overbearing. Under favorable circumstances, she was refined and courteous. Everything was so natural. Every gesture demonstrated her unique temperament...
There were many outstanding people in this world, but there were only a few outstanding people who are also humble. Murong Qi Qi was such a person, making people couldn¡¯t help but get closer to her and want to be her friend. From Bai Yi Yue¡¯s inner world, she was very willing to be friends with Murong Qi Qi. However, the ravine between them was now so deep, that she didn¡¯t dare to cross it.
Would extending a hand of friendship towards Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s daughter, betray her mother? All year round, Bai Yi Yue¡¯s mother was sick from depression. In the end, she had died because of sadness. Her tearful face before death had always been engraved in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s heart.
At one side was the precious friendship. At the other side was her mother¡¯s tears. The Bai Yi Yue in the middle of them, struggled really hard to choose.
¡°Yi Yue, long time no see. I heard that the peach blossoms at Jingting mountain have already bloomed. I will wait at the Jingting mountain in the south of the capital to enjoy the flowers with you! See you there! Feng Qi Qi.¡±
Looking at the words on the invitation, Bai Yi Yue hesitated for a long time.
In this whole matter, Murong Qi Qi was the most innocent. From the moment she was born, she had been taken away by Li Qiu Shui. Now, although she was admitted into her family, but her parents had already passed away. Her original lover became her big brother. In fact, this Murong Qi Qi was also a pitiful person.
Speaking of it, she, as a friend, should¡¯ve stayed at Murong Qi Qi¡¯s side at that crucial moment. However, because of the matters of the previous generation, she had taken her anger out on Murong Qi Qi. Not only did she not care about her (MQQ) at that moment, instead she ignored her (MQQ). Thinking of it, Bai Yi Yue felt guilty.
After so long, she¡¯d only cared about her thoughts and her feelings and ignored Murong Qi Qi, this friend. Moreover, she repeatedly rejected the people (MQQ) she had sent and closed their friendship on the outside of the door. Doing this was really too selfish.
Looking once again at the time and ce on the invitation, Bai Yi Yue closed the invitation. She decided to go to the appointment in ordance to what was written in the invitation.
Mother, I really see Qi Qi as a very good friend. You¡¯ve always been so kind and tolerant. I also believe that the you in heaven will support daughter to continue this friendship!

Chapter 159 Bai Yi Yue meeting with danger
Chapter 159 Bai Yi Yue meeting with danger
Jingting mountain, although it¡¯s called a mountain, but it was in fact a small hill. Bei Zhou is t. Therefore, such a hill was extremely rare. They put the name ¡®mountain¡¯ on it and became a good ce to sightsee.
Bai Yi Yue arrived at the foot of Jingting mountain, the location written in the invitation. Today, the weather was very good. The spring breeze blew slowly. Although there was still a slight coldness, but it didn¡¯t have the winter¡¯s chill anymore. It made people feel a lot morefortable.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Bai Yi Yue got off the carriage. The road going up from the foot of the mountain was made from stones. It was twisted and rugged all the way till the top of the mountain. You could see the so-called top with one nce. Above the top was a small pavilion with red zed tiles. It was particrly eye-catching in the vast of green.
¡°Miss, don¡¯t you want this ve to follow you?¡± Bai household¡¯s servant Bai Qi stood next to the carriage. He had a slender figure and was Bai Yi Yue¡¯s coachman.
¡°No need! It¡¯s just a few steps! Wait here for me!¡± The invitation was written by Murong Qi Qi. Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t harbor any suspicions. After letting Bai Qi wait for her at the foot of the hill, she walked up, step by step.
There were surprisingly very few people around. asionally, she could see one or two. At this time, it¡¯s a bit early to go for a hike in spring. When the weather turned warm in April and May, then that¡¯s the best to go for a hike. Now, it was a bit cold and there were only some flower buds. The spring mountain scene couldn¡¯t be seen.
At the top of the mountain, Misha gently tapped the handle of the wheelchair. From the moment Bai Yi Yue appeared at the foot of the mountain, his heartbeat quickened. Looking at the woman in white slowly climb the mountain and get closer and closer to him, Misha¡¯s heartbeat also gradually jumped to his throat.
Are you Yi Lian? Misha¡¯s throat was a bit dry. He licked his lips. The rhythm of his finger tapping also elerated.
When Bai Yi Yue was almost at the top of the mountain, Xia Xue came to Misha¡¯s side, ¡°Young master, she¡¯s about to arrive. Should we hide?¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Misha nodded. Xia Xue pushed Misha and left the pavilion. They hid in the woods.
Bai Yi Yue¡¯s cheeks were red after walking to the top of the mountain. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She also used the handkerchief to gently fan herself.
Although Misha was not far away, but their hiding ce waspletely covered. Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t realise that there was someone peeping at her. Hiding behind a tree, Misha carefully looked at Bai Yi Yue. He wanted to find Yi Lian¡¯s shadow in her.
¡°Young master, is it miss Yi Lian?¡± After waiting for a long time and seeing that Misha still hadn¡¯t spoken, Xia Xue gently asked.
¡°Let them try...,¡± As always, Misha didn¡¯t directly answer Xia Xue. Instead, he let Xia Xue go prepare. A whistle was sent from Xia Xue¡¯s mouth. Suddenly, ten people surrounded the pavilion.
Originally, Bai Yi Yue had sat down to take a rest. After hearing the whistle, she wondered why it happened when in front of her appeared more than ten men. Her heart immediately became rmed.
¡°What do you want?¡± Bai Yi Yue put her hand on the sword at her waist. She looked vigntly at these people.
¡°Littledy, what are you doing here alone? Are you waiting for this big brother, ah?¡±
A heavy and big man sat lecherously beside Bai Yi Yue. He put his hand on Bai Yi Yue¡¯s shoulder, but she dodged it. ¡°Be a bit more respectful!¡± Bai Yi Yue frowned. She turned and wanted to go down the mountain, but she was stopped by five people
¡°Beautiful littledy, howe you just came and already want to leave, ah?! Spend more time with us, ah! Your lover didn¡¯te, there¡¯s us to keep youpany, ah!¡±
Ten people surrounded Bai Yi Yue. On everyone¡¯s face was a dark smile, making the restlessness in Bai Yi Yue¡¯s heart gradually expand. Bai Yi Yue wasn¡¯t a fool. These people must¡¯ve hidden here long ago and she was presumably their goal.
However, wasn¡¯t the one who invited her Murong Qi Qi? Why didn¡¯t Murong Qi Qi appear, but these rogues did? ¡°Who sent you?¡± Bai Yi Yue looked at the heavy and big man. He looked like the head of this group.
¡°Hehe, no one sent us, ah! We are brought together by fate from a thousand miles to meet each other! This is destiny, ah!¡± The heavy and big man smiled, revealing yellow teeth. A foul odor would emit from his mouth with every word he spoke, making people feel nauseous from the smell.
The heavy and big man was talking about destiny, but his hand did an ¡®action¡¯ gesture. These ten people were like hungry wolves and jumped towards Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Looking for death!¡± Although Bai Yi Yue had a gentle personality, but she wasn¡¯t a weak woman that let other people bully her. The sword shed in her hand. The two people who first rushed at her, immediately hugged their arm, rolled on the ground and cried for their father and mother. Blood flowed along the gap of their fingers. The muscle tendon of the right arms of these two people had been cut by Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Tsk, tsk, didn¡¯t know that littledy is very hot tempered, ah!¡± At first, the heavy and big man was shocked by Bai Yi Yue. Later, he spat on the ground and revealed a cruel smile, ¡°This lord likes women who look gentle on the outside but are in fact hot-tempered. When doing ***, they can stand the toss and turns. This lord took a fancy to you! Brothers, go! Grab her, tonight, we¡¯ll all get to eat!¡±
¡°Oh, oh!¡±
Those men who were, just now, shocked by the blood, after hearing this sentence from the big and heavy man, they acted like they¡¯d been injected with chicken blood and began to fire up. Their gaze wandered unscrupulously all over Bai Yi Yue¡¯s body as if they already could see how she would toss about in bed under their body, making them happy.
¡°Bastard!¡± No matter how good Bai Yi Yue¡¯s personality was, after hearing such humiliating words, she also got furious. She¡¯s ady of a prominent family. Usually, she came in contact with people at the same level as her status. When had she ever met such shameless rogues?
¡°Hear that, her voice is like the oriole bird. Brother, look at her, she¡¯s still a virgin, yo! We¡¯re blessed!¡± The heavy and big man rubbed his hands. His eyes were full of desire as if he immediately wanted to peel off Bai Yi Yue¡¯s clothes and get a taste of her.
Being stimted repeatedly by the heavy and big man and being overwhelmed by lust, people with big lustful guts rushed at Bai Yi Yue. Now, Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t have the gentleness of before. She directly cut off the tendons of the arms and feet of the person who came at her.
¡°Ah...,¡± The injured people cried and rolled in front of the heavy and big man, but they were kicked away by him. ¡°Rubbish! Useless! We¡¯ve so many people and can¡¯t even deal with a little woman! Have you all not eaten?!¡±
¡°Boss, she knows martial arts. There¡¯s a sword in her hand, ah!¡±
There was already three people who had been injured. Especially thest one. The tendons of his hands and feet had all been severed. The bloody appearance of the wrists and ankles was very frightening, making the rest of the people feel very scared and afraid. At this time, they surrounded the heavy and big man.
¡°Damn! Rubbish! Rubbish!¡± The heavy and big man once again spit. ¡°Did you forget the old rule?!¡±
The moment they heard ¡®old rule¡¯, the eyes of the rest of the people immediately lightened up. Everyone took out a rough hemp rope. Seven people surrounded Bai Yi Yue.
Sensing something bad, Bai Yi Yue stomped and wanted to use qinggong1 to leave the top of the mountain. Unexpectedly, when she jumped, two ropes were thrown into the air at the same time. The rope intertwined in the air and blocked Bai Yi Yue¡¯s path.
¡®Ceng...¡¯ Bai Yi Yue¡¯s sword cut off the rope. Two other ropes had been thrown by people. The ropes tied into a knot and wrapped around Bai Yi Yue¡¯s ankles and dragged her back to the ground.
¡°Let me go!¡± Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t expect that these people were able to trap her with only ropes. From the top to the foot of the mountain was still some distance. Even if she screamed from the top of her lungs, Bai Qi, who¡¯s at the foot of the mountain, wouldn¡¯t be able to hear her.
These people heard Bai Yi Yue¡¯s cries, but they had no intention of letting her go. The two people who held the ropes that were wrapped around Bai Yi Yue¡¯s left and right hand, after a few turns, they bundled Bai Yi Yue¡¯s arms together. At this time, Bai Yi Yue¡¯s legs were also bundled tightly together.
¡®Pa!¡¯ The hemp rope in the heavy and big man¡¯s hand fiercely hit the hand which Bai Yi Yue used to hold the sword. Bai Yi Yue felt pain on her right hand. Her hand loosened. The sword fell and was kicked away by the heavy and big man. It directly spiked on the side of the trunk.
¡°I told you, the strength of being united is great! Brother will only get to eat meat if we¡¯re united!¡± The heavy and big man walked with a smile towards Bai Yi Yue. With every breath he took, that kind of rotten smell could make people faint.
Bai Yi Yue turned her face to a side to not be face to face with him, to avoid that she would faint.
Seeing this expression of Bai Yi Yue, the heavy and big man¡¯s face sank. Presumably, he also knew that he had this bad breath disease. Now, Bai Yi Yue was being so obvious. It was a direct provocation to his self-esteem.
¡°F***! Dislike this old one for being stinky! Tonight, this old one will use thins stinky mouth to bite your whole body!¡± The heavy and big man cursed fiercely.
At this side, after Misha saw this scene, he frowned, ¡°Xia Xue, what kind of people did you find? I only let you find people to test Bai Yi Yue¡¯s skill. Why are the people you found such hoodlums and ruffians?¡±
¡°Young master, I couldn¡¯t request people at such a short period of time...,¡± Xia Xue¡¯s eyes shed a strange light, but the expression on her face was more respectful than usual.
Xia Xue¡¯s exnation made Misha¡¯s expression get a bit better, ¡°Go, help that girl. As for those hoodlums...kill them all! they¡¯re disgusting!¡±
Hearing these words from Misha, Xia Xue¡¯s eyes lightened up, ¡°Young master, she isn¡¯t miss Yi Lian?¡±
¡°No...,¡± Misha shook his head disappointedly. He didn¡¯t look at Bai Yi Yue anymore, but he looked at the vastnd far away. ¡°Yi Lian won¡¯t easily take action. If she takes action, no one will live. Bai Yi Yue isn¡¯t Yi Lian. Yi Lian...not everyone can insult her!¡±
The moment she heard that Bai Yi Yue wasn¡¯t the person Misha was looking for, Xia Xue¡¯s heart immediately rxed. As long as it isn¡¯t Yi Lian it would be good!
Although when Misha mentioned Yi Lian, his tone would be so gently, so gentle that it made her jealous. However, as long as they don¡¯t find Yi Lian, she could stay one more day at young master¡¯s side. It would be the best if this Yi Lian never appears. Then, she could continue to serve Misha...
Being invited to Jingting mountain by Murong Qi Qi, in the end, such a gang of hoodlums appeared, was really outside of Bai Yi Yue¡¯s expectations.
What happened in between? Could these people be sent by Murong Qi Qi? If it was true, why would she (MQQ) treat her like that?
Bai Yi Yue couldn¡¯t remember when she and Murong Qi Qi had incurred hatred. Aside that her tone was a bit harsh before and that she refused to get in touch with her (MQQ), she (BYY) didn¡¯t do anything too overboard. Could Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tolerance be so small?
Thinking till here, Bai Yi Yue shook her head. Although, the time she spent with Murong Qi Qi wasn¡¯t much, but the girl who was able topose < A nce at the mundane world>, how would she be someone with such a small tolerance?! Someone was certainly behind this!
It was just, time didn¡¯t allow Bai Yi Yue to think about these. A burst of foul odor came at her. the two big purple lips of the heavy and big man came at Bai Yi Yue.
¡°Ou...,¡± Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t hold it. She almost vomited the things she ate in the morning.
¡°Bitch!¡± Originally, the heavy and big man wanted to suck Bai Yi Yue¡¯s cherry lips and get a taste of them, he didn¡¯t expect that other party retched. His interest waspletely gone.
He raised his hand. The heavy and big man wanted to give Bai Yi Yue a p on the face, but his hand was juts raised and didn¡¯t fell, suddenly he held his left hand and knelt on the ground.
Looking again, the hand of the heavy and big man had been cut off by someone. That cut off handy bloodily on the ground. It twitched slightly and was still emitting heat, making people who watched it feel frightened.
¡®Sou, sou...¡¯ two sounds appeared. The rope on Bai Yi Yue¡¯s body was cut. The sword that was spiked on the tree trunk returned to her hand once again.
¡°Why is it you?¡±
When Bai Yi Yu saw the person who came, she was so surprised that she shouted. Wasn¡¯t this person Ruyi the one who fought with her in the ring?! Why did he appear here?
Ruyi didn¡¯t waste time to talk nonsense. He threw a smoke bomb on the ground. With a ¡®boom¡¯ sound, it exploded. At this time, he pulled Bai Yi Yue¡¯s hand and rushed down the hill.
The loud noise on the top of the hill made Bai Qi at the foot of the hill surprised. Thinking abut that Bai Yi Yue was still at the top of the hill, Bai Qi quickly flew up the mountain. Now, Ruyi had already taken Bai Yi Yue to halfway of the hill.
Maybe because they run in a rush, the two people didn¡¯t realize that Ruyi¡¯s hand was tightly wrapped around Bai Yi Yue¡¯s small hand. Until when they met Bai Qi, Bai Qi shouted, ¡°Let go of our family¡¯s miss!¡± And he came with a sword towards them, that these two people realized that their hands were sweetly ¡®entangled¡¯ together.
¡°Aiya...,¡± Bai Yi Yue blushed. She quickly pulled her hand out. Bai Qi¡¯s sword was already in front of Ruyi.
¡°Bai Qi, stop!¡± Bai Yi Yue shouted, but it was already toote.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s sword almost hurt Ruyi, Ruyi folded his arms and held Bai Qi¡¯s sword in his hand. ¡°Ha!¡± Ruyi shouted once. He red and his face got red. ¡®Bang, bang, bang...¡¯ Bai Qi¡¯s sword had been jolted into two just like this, making Bai Qi stunned.
Very thick inner force! A hint of admiration shed through Bai Qi¡¯s eyes.
¡°Bai Qi. he¡¯s not a bad guy!¡± Bai Yi Yue anxiously came before Ruyi. ¡°Are you fine? Did you get hurt? I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Ruyi shook his head and gave an honest and simple smile. The broken sword fell on the ground and made a ¡®kuangdang¡¯ sound. ¡°I just broke his sword!¡±
¡°Bai Qi, he¡¯s my savor!¡± Bai Yi Yue told Bai Qi what had happened at Jingting mountain. Bai Qi got embarrassed and quickly bowed at Ruyi, ¡°Thanking her for saving our eldest miss! If it wasn¡¯t because hero, our miss would¡¯ve been bullied by the viins! Bai Qi was reckless and didn¡¯t distinguish between the right and the wrong. Bai Qi almost injured hero. It¡¯s Bai Qi¡¯s fault! Asking hero for forgiveness!¡±
For many generations, Bai Qi had been Bai household¡¯s servant. Because of his loyalty, he had been given the surname ¡®Bai¡¯ by his master and because he was ranked as the seventh brother, so he¡¯s called Bai Qi. Now, Bai Qi knew the truth, he felt very guilty. Fortunately, he hadn¡¯t injured Ruyi or else he would¡¯ve feel guilty for life.
Bai Qi (°×Æß): literal meaning is white seven.
¡°No problem! You didn¡¯t hurt me. not to mention, I ruined your sword. It could be considered an offset,¡± Ruyi also cupped his fists and bowed.
Seeing that Ruyi was so courteous and didn¡¯t care for his (BQ) rudeness, Bai Qi had an even more favorable impression of Ruyi, ¡°Our miss received princess Zheng Guo¡¯s invitation and came to enjoy the flowers at Jingting mountain. We didn¡¯t expect that such a thing will happen...¡±
After Bai Qi said that Ruyi was more bewildered. It was simply impossible for Murong Qi Qi to invite Bai Yi Yue, ah!
¡°I¡¯m from Nan Lin wangfu.2 As far as I know, princess is at the pce keeping empress dowagerpany. She didn¡¯t mention that she had an appointment with someone. Where did miss Ba get the invitation?¡±
¡°Someone sent the invitation to my home!¡± Bai Yi Yue took out the invitation and handed it to Ruyi.
The moment he saw the invitation, Ruyi understood, ¡°This invitation is not our Nan Lin wangfu¡¯s!3 Perhaps miss Bai doesn¡¯t know, Nan Lin wangfu had special invitations. Every invitation has wangye¡¯s 4 seal. Princess¡¯s invitation also has princess¡¯s seal. Besides, this is not princess¡¯s handwriting.¡±
Although, Ruyi only asionally saw the songs Murong Qi Qi wrote, but with only two to three lines of words, Ruyi remembered Murong Qi Qi¡¯s handwriting. That was why he could be so certain now.
¡°Someone certainly pretended to be princess and invited miss Bai here. Our princess certainly didn¡¯t send such an invitation!¡±
Ruyi was so sure also confirmed Bai Yi Yue¡¯s previous thought. Murong Qi Qi would certainly not do such a tasteless and lowly thing.
At the peak of the mountain, when the smoke was cleared, everyone discovered that Bai Yi Yue was gone. The heavy and big man hugged his cur off arm. His head was full of cold sweat. Someone cough because of the smoke. The heavy and big man straightly kicked that guy¡¯s ass. ¡°what ass are you coughing for, ah?! The person already escaped! Are you still not going to chase?! Catch thatdy back for me!¡±
Just when the heavy and big man¡¯s group was about to chase after Bai Yi Yue, Xia Xue appeared in front of them.
Although the heavy and big man was in much pain, but when he saw that it was the girl who gave him silver before, his face was full of tter, ¡°Lady, we didn¡¯t do the thing well. It¡¯s our fault. But don¡¯t worry, we will certainly catch that bitch. By then, we can ensure that you will be satisfied!¡±
¡°Humph!¡± Xia Xue humphed once lightly. The people saw a silver light sh by. The smile of the heavy and big man froze there. After a few seconds, suddenly a burst of blood sprayed out. The head of the heavy and big man fell on one side andpletely separated from his neck. A very round head rolled on the ground and was contaminated a thickyer of dust.
¡°Boss!¡± The person beside him cried from surprise, but he didn¡¯t have the time to shout more. His throat had already been cut off by Xia Xue¡¯s sword.
¡°Quickly run!¡±
Finally, a clever person saw that Xia Xue wanted to silence them. He immediately run. Those people who were injured before, naturally was behind. In a very short while, they became a dead soul under Xia Xue¡¯s sword.
¡°Help! Help!¡± Someone ran very hard. He wanted to even put the strength of drinking milk in use, but in only a blink of eye, Xia Xue was in front of him. Seeing Xia Xue¡¯s cold eyes with the aura of death in them, his whole body trembled. His voice stuck in his throat. He couldn¡¯t make a sound. The next moment, he became a dead man.
In just a moment, ten people were lying on the ground. The blood merged into a trickle on the gray-yellownd. Then the blood infiltrated into the thick soil and dyed it into dark red.
Hearing someone shout to save him on the hill, Ruyi and Bai Qi¡¯s expression sank. They both looked at Bai Yi Yue. Bai Yi Yue knew that these two people want to go up and find out exactly what had happened. She also wanted to know who framed Murong Qi Qi to calcte her (BYY), ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go up and take a look!¡±
When the three people reached the top of the hill, they saw corpses lying disorderly. They counted. It was exactly ten corpses. It was the same number as the people from before.
Ruyi and Bai Qi checked everyone and shook their head at Bai Yi Yue. All these people died in such a short time. Besides, it was killed by one stroke. ¡°Who was it?¡± This question of Bai Yi Yue was the thoughts of Ruyi and Bai Qi.
Who was it? In such a short time, he/she killed ten people. Besides, every stroke was a killing stroke. Who was it that acted so viciously? These questions lingered in the head of the three.
Ruyi and Bai Qi looked around. Ruyi discovered traces of two rows of wheels pressed on the grass. Looking at the appearance of the grass; this trace seemed to be new. Could it be done by this mysterious person?
Until the afternoon, did Murong Qi Qi got to know what happened to Bai Yi Yue at Jingting mountain. She immediately hurried out of the pce and arrived at Nan Lin wangfu.
¡°Yi Yue, are you alright?!¡± After seeing Bai Yi Yue, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s first words were her concern about Bai Yi Yue¡¯s safety. Those alienation of Bai Yi Yue from before, Murong Qi Qi did as if nothing had happened. She was only concerned about if Bai Yi Yue was hurt.
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words and her anxious demeanor let Bai Yi Yue¡¯s heart got warm. Aside from the warmth, she also felt guilt and self-me. She felt that she was too tangled in the past and too small belly, chicken¡¯s gut, causing her to almost lost Murong Qi Qi, this good friend.
Small belly chicken¡¯s guts: narrow-minded
¡°I¡¯m fine; thanks to Ruyi arriving in time.¡±
Only when Bai Yi Yue was in the carriage did she got to know that, that time after she left, Murong qi Qi asked Feng Cang to let him send Ruyi to protect Bai Yi Yue secretly. These past few days, Ruyi had been following her in secret. However, this morning, when Ruyi went to Bai residence to work, he didn¡¯t find her. After inquiring did he got to know that Bai Yi Yue went to Jingting mountain. So, he immediately rushed there. He was just in time to save her.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t because Ruyi arrived in time, I¡¯m afraid...¡±
Bai Yi Yue didn¡¯t dare to go think of those things. Recalling that nauseating face of the big and heavy man, Bai Yi Yue wanted to vomit. Especially when she thought about the rotten smell that came from his mouth, Bai Yi Yue shivered slightly.
Although at that time, she didn¡¯t feel afraid, but recalling it, Bai Yi Yue felt very frightened. She lived in an excellent environment and the most people she came in touch with were nobilities and officials. Even when she took charge of the family¡¯s business, the people she met with were mostly decent people. She had never encountered this sort of people.
If Ruyi didn¡¯t arrive and Bai Qi at the foot of the hill also didn¡¯t know what had happened, perhaps, she would¡¯ve been...by that group of people. Bai Yi Yue shuddered.
¡°Everything is fine now! Yi Yue, you¡¯re safe now!¡± Feeling Bai Yi Yue¡¯s whole body get cold, Murong Qi Qi held her (BYY) small hand. She gently rubbed it, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid! I¡¯m here!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice was like a gentle light and slowly healed Bai Yi Yue¡¯s cold. Sheforted for a long time and also poured warm honey water for Bai Yi Yue. Bai Yi Yue gradually calmed down.
¡°Qi Qi!¡± Bai Yi Yue held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand. Her eyes were full of apologies, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Before, because of my own things I was in loggerheads with you and almost lost you as my friend. I¡¯m really sorry!¡±
Murong Qi Qi had let Su Mei go investigate about Bai Yi Yue¡¯s matter. The information let Murong Qi Qi understand Bai Yi Yue¡¯s difficulties and also could understand the ¡®abnormalities¡¯ of this friend. Now, Bai Yi Yue mentioned it at her own initiative made Murong Qi Qi feel assured. It seemed that she (BYY) really took her as a friend!
¡°Yi Yue, are we good friends?! You also know that I don¡¯t have many friends in this world. You are one of them. I don¡¯t want to the matter of the previous generation affect our friendship. I want to be friends with you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sincere eyes let Bai Yi Yue felt more guilt. After the guilt, Bai Yi Yue gave Murong Qi Qi a generous smile and sped their hands together, ¡°I¡¯m willing to be your friend!¡±
The others were very happy that Murong Qi Qi and Bai Yi Yue restored their feelings of the past. Especially Su Mei; she was so happy that she pped. ¡°So great! Miss Bai, in the future, you need toe see our miss frequently, yo!¡±
¡°Mm! alright!¡± The people around Murong Qi Qi were so warm made Bai Yi Yue¡¯s face have more smiles.
After the talk andughter, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face sank, ¡°Su Mei let people go investigate about today¡¯s matter! Someone used my name to do such a thing. I let people go investigate! I must find the person behind this!¡±
Before, Murong Qi Qi was afraid that Bai Yi Yue will think about the bad things, so she didn¡¯t mention a word. Now, Bai Yi Yue restored her usual appearance. They have to investigate this matter.
Seeing Murong Qi Qi so serious, Su Mei¡¯s expression also sank, ¡°Miss, don¡¯t worry. We will definitely find the person behind this and get revenge for miss Bai.¡±
While Su Mei was talking about revenge, how would she know that someone already set eyes on her?
After confirming that Bai Yi Yue wasn¡¯t Yi Lina, Misha felt very deste. The whole way, he was silent and didn¡¯t say a word. After returning home, he was still quiet. He just stared at the sky in daze. His gaze was very grave.
Xia Xue felt much heartache seeing Misha like this. She wanted to gofort Misha, but she didn¡¯t dare to move forward. When Misha was quiet, he didn¡¯t like being disturbed. This was his rule and Xia Xue understood it.
Misha is Peni Ind¡¯s grand disciple. Because of the inconvenience of moving his legs, many people took care of Misha on the ind. However, those people had been sent away by Misha. In the end, Misha chose Xia Xue. There were two reasons for it. One was because her personality was cold and she didn¡¯t talk much. Second was because she was obedient. What Misha said was what she would do.
Xia Xue knew that the reasons Misha let her stay were because she wasn¡¯t meddlesome and was obedient.
She wanted to stay at Misha¡¯s side forever. Therefore, these past six years, she developed her cold and detachment to the fullest. She became unfeeling and would say yes at every request of Misha. Besides, she will do them strictly ording to Misha¡¯s requirements.
For example, Misha didn¡¯t like to let women touch him. Aside from pushing the wheelchair, she tried not toe in contact with him as much as possible. For example, when Misha was in deep thoughts, he didn¡¯t like to be disturbed. So, even if she wanted to hug Misha now andfort him, but she still had to keep her cold appearance and stand with a straight back behind Misha. Even if she looked at his back in daze, she was motionless to avoid disturbing him.
Where did it went wrong Misha looked at the blue sky and thought about the reason.
Could it be because he was too conceited for thinking that because of the seven floor pagoda, he would be able to detect his Yi Lian? After all, a lot of content inside the test were things he and Yi Lain went through many times while training as a child. He only made some improvements to test who is Yi Lian. However, it looked like this approach didn¡¯t seem feasible.
Could it be that Yi Lian didn¡¯te to this world? Or perhaps, Yi Lian time-travelled into a child or someone of another age. Did he not consider every aspect enough?
There are so many people in this maind. If he searched like this, till when would he search? Could it be that only when he dies, he will find Yi Lian? Or was this perhaps heaven¡¯s punishment? He and Yi Lian live in the same sky, but never let him see her again?
If it was really like this, how cruel is it, ah?! He preferred to not be able to stand up again than to be separated from Yi Lian! In the previous life, he did wrong. Don¡¯t torture him again like that in this life, alright?
The more he thought, the more dispirited Misha became. If he couldn¡¯t find Yi Lian, then what meaning does his life have?
¡°Ah!¡± Misha fiercely beat his legs. His eyes were flushed, ¡°Ah!¡±
Misha¡¯s cry surprised Xia Xue. Seeing him beat his injured legs like this, Xia Xue quickly grabbed Misha¡¯s hands, ¡°Young master, what¡¯s the matter? Young master!¡±
¡°F*** off!¡± Misha pushed Xia Xue away. He continued to beat his legs. He¡¯s a waste of a person. Heaven already punished him by letting him unable to stand up. Why did it still need to hide his Yi Lian? Could it really be to let him be lonely for his whole life?!
¡°Young master, don¡¯t!¡± Although being pushed away by Misha, Xia Xue still crawled forward and grabbed Misha¡¯s hand, ¡°Young master, you will definitely find miss Yi Lian! You will definitely find her!¡±
Xia Xue knew that the only thing in this world that can let Misha calm down was that name only...Yi Lian.
Sure enough, under Xia Xue¡¯s persuasion, Misha¡¯s red eyes returned to their normal color, ¡°Xia Xue, I can¡¯t find her! She hid away! She certainly hates me very much. She hates me for killing adoptive father, hates me for killing her! But, I really love her, ah!¡±
Seeing Misha like this, Xia Xue¡¯s heart twisted in pain. She hated ¡®Yi Lian¡¯ even more. All was to me her (YL). She caused young master to be like this. She caused young master to be so deranged! Everything is her fault!
Although, she was thinking like that in her heart, but on her face, Xia Xue didn¡¯t dare to show the slightest disrespect towards Yi Lian. Instead, she tried to advise Misha gently, ¡°Young master, miss Yi Lian is certainly in a corner. She¡¯s certainly waiting for you! As long as you be a bit more patient and take a little more time, you will certainly find her!¡±
¡°Is what you said the truth?¡± Misha raised his head. That pair of innocent eyes was full of innocence and naivety like a child. Xia Xue looked at them and couldn¡¯t help but nod. ¡°It¡¯s the truth. Young master, please believe me. I will never lie to young master!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the best...,¡± Misha said this one sentence long-drawn-out. This ¡®you¡¯re the best¡¯ made Xia Xue burst in joy. ¡°Young master, didn¡¯t you say that Su Mei¡¯s weapon was very special. Why don¡¯t we investigate Su Mei? Maybe we can find a clue!¡±
1. Qinggong: the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees
2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
3. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank
3. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
Chapter 160 (part 1) Exposing his mask
Chapter 160 (part 1) Exposing his mask
Xia Xue¡¯s words let Misha¡¯s expression be a lot better. His decadent mood also cheered up again.
ording to Murong Qing Lian, Bai Yi Yue yed the most important role when clearing the seventh level of the pagoda. However, after seeing Bai Yi Yue, Misha¡¯s intuition told him that Bai Yi Yue wasn¡¯t Yi Lian.
This woman was ¡®irresolute and slow in her reactions¡¯. It was evident from her performance after encountering those ten hoodlums that she wasn¡¯t the person who yed the most important role on the seventh level of the pagoda. Murong Qing Lian certainly...lied to him!
¡°Xia Xue, catch Murong Qi Qi back to here!¡± At this time, Misha hated Murong Qing Lian very much. She certainly knew something. That was why she could hide it andpiled such a story to lie to him. This woman had a big gut!
When Xia Xue found Murong Qing Lian, she hadpletely gone crazy. Murong Qing Lian¡¯s eyes were nk and showed foolishness. Her mouth shouted ¡°wangye1¡±. Her underbody was bright red.
After killing all those men, Xia Xue came to Murong Qing Lian and squatted. She looked infatuated at Xia Xue. She drooled. ¡°Wangye, wangye....hehe, wangye...¡±
Seeing Murong Qing Lian like this, Xia Xue sighed. In this state, even if she brought her back, they wouldn¡¯t be able to ask anything. At that moment, Xia Xue pulled her sword and gave Murong Qing Lian a straightforward satisfaction. After she returned, Xia Xue told Misha Murong Qing Lian¡¯s situation. Misha humped once, ¡°She got off too lightly!¡±
¡°Young master, what do we do now?¡±
¡°Follow Su Mei! See if we can discover anything...,¡± Misha was very at lost and didn¡¯t know how to start. Su Mei was his only hope now. If Su Mei isn¡¯t Yi Lian, then he can only start over again!
However, no matter what oue, he should persist until he finds Yi Lian. Yi Lian must be waiting for him at some corner in this world. It must be like this!
After having reconciled with Murong Qi Qi, Bai Yi Yue often came to Nan Lin wangfu2. asionally, she would go into the pce to see Murong Qi Qi. After the two buried the hatched, their rtionship was better than before. There was one more friend in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s circle.
Recently, Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart was distracted and his thoughts in turmoil. He didn¡¯t know why after he saw the red bean hairpinst time, his eyelids had been jumping badly. The jumping of the left eye meant wealth. The jumping of the right eye meant cmity. However, for several days, both eyes jumped. He really didn¡¯t know what sign it meant. He felt restless as if something was about to happen.
Heart distracted, thoughts in turmoil: distraught with anxiety.
The person he sent to keep an eye on Long Autumn pce also didn¡¯t find anything special. The person who appeared in the underground pce of Long Autumn pce also didn¡¯t show up again. It was as if this person had never appeared.
If this person showed up, Wanyan Lie would be a lot rxer. At least, he could follow the vine to get to the melon, catch the person and find the root of the cause. But after such a long time, that personpletely ¡®disappeared¡¯, making Wanyan Lie more uneasy.
Follow the vine and catch the melon: following clues
If was as if he was in the open and the other party was in the dark. That person was growing a dark web, waiting for him to fall in it.
After he came back from the underground pce, ever night, Wanyan Lie would awaken from nightmares. Often, when he woke up, his whole body was in cold sweat. Those dreams were always the same. He always saw someone from who he couldn¡¯t see the face, pull Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand and left. He chased behind, but no matter what, he couldn¡¯t catch up. He could only look at these two people form a pair and go farther and farther away. At his ears was only Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s silver bell likeughter.
¡°Ah...,¡± This night, Wanyan Lie once again woke up from the nightmare. Jing De quickly came forward to serve. ¡°Your majesty, you had a nightmare again!¡±
Wanyan Lie sat on the dragon bed and gasped for air. On his forehead was full of sweat. In his eyes were fear, ¡°Jing De, I dreamed about him again?¡±
¡°Your majesty, who are you talking about?¡± Jing De cautiously poured water to let Wanyan Lie rinse his mouth. Then, he took a handkerchief and wiped his (WL) sweat.
¡°Zhen 3doesn¡¯t know. Zhen couldn¡¯t see his face, but he took away Yue er4! He took away Yue er!¡± Wanyan Lie felt very stuffy. He tried hard to recall the face of the man in the dream, but he couldn¡¯t remember.
This dream had appeared many times. Could it be that this dream was a sign? Could it be that there really was such a person who wanted to take away Wanyan Ming Yue from him? Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart jumped ¡®boom, boom¡¯ very fast. He didn¡¯t dare to think about how the him without Wanyan Ming Yue will continue to live.
¡®Shua...¡¯ Wanyan Lie suddenly lifted the quilt. He got out of bed and put on his shoes.
¡°Your majesty, where are you going?¡± Seeing that Wanyan Lie wanted to go out only wearing unlined garment, Jing De quickly took out clothes and chased. He put on the clothes for Wanyan Lie.
¡°Zhen wants to go to Long Autumn pce. Zhen wants to go see Yue er!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s impulsiveness made Jing De anxious. It was already zishi (11pm-1am). Murong Qi Qi certainly had fallen asleep. Wanyan Lie may rm Murong Qi Qi by going like this. By then, what should he say? ¡°Your majesty, now it¡¯s alreadyte at night. princess Zhen Guo is already asleep. If you go now, would you not wake princess Zhen Guo up?¡±
¡°No, zhen needs to go see Yue er. Otherwise, zhen will feel uneasy!¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s face showed anxiousness. The anxiety in his heart kept growing. He had to go see if Wanyan Ming Yue was still in the underground pce!
The emperor insisted on this. Jing De could only take a light and trotted beside Wanyan Lie.
Late at night, everywhere in the pce was very quiet. The sky was dark. asionally, one or two birds will shout. Jing De carriage an orange coloredmp and lighted the road in front of Wanyan Lie. This pair of master and servant, one in the front, one behind, went around half the pce and finally arrived outside Long Autumn pce.
The red pce door was already closed. It appeared that Murong Qi Qi already have slept.
¡°Your majesty, you see...should we let people open the door?¡± Jing De looked like he was in a difficult position at Wanyan Lie. Letting people open the pce door would be a big move. It was difficult for Murong Qi Qi not to know. Then, won¡¯t the matter be exposed?
After blowing in the cold wind all the way, Wanyan Lie¡¯s hot-blooded brain also gradually woken up. What was he doing? Could it be to smash the pce door and wake up the entire Long Autumn pce?
Wanyan Lie put his strong hands on the door. After being silent for a long while, he sighed. He turned and walked in big steps back to the road where he came from.
¡°Your majesty, are you not going anymore?¡± Although Jing De was saying that, but he let out a sigh of relief. If by chance, the emperor broke into Long Autumn pce at night and in the end, the matter of him hiding Wanyan Ming Yue was known, then what would the officials think? Wouldn¡¯t Wanyan Lie¡¯s image of a wise emperor be destroyed?!
¡°I won¡¯t go anymore!¡± Wanyan Lie shook his head. What was the matter with him? If he went now, wouldn¡¯t it let people be suspicious?! He should go back, have a good sleep and not think too much.
The next morning, when Murong Qi Qi woke up, Su Mei told her about Wanyan Lie.
¡°Oh? Last night, the emperor came to the pce but didn¡¯t enter?¡± Murong Qi Qi frowned. Feng Cang was behind her doing her hair.
Presumably, it was practice make the skills. Now, Feng Cang was able to do a lot of hairstyles. This pair of -holding sword- hands was also very talented at doing hair. Those serpent knots and -flying to the sky- knots were a piece of cake for him.
¡°Cang, what do you think the emperor came for in the middle of the night?¡±
¡°It¡¯s probably for mother-inw.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made the hand which Murong Qi Qi held a hairpin pause.
¡°Cang, it¡¯s time we cast the. These past few days, there were a lot newer faces in my pce. It seemed that thest time, the emperor certainly found something strange when he came here. So, he changed new people to here. Those people knew martial arts. They obviously came to monitor us.¡±
Feng Cang agreed with Murong Qi Qi. These days, he secretly mobilized the most elites of the Eagle troop and let them station outside of the capital. Originally, the defense of the entire capital was in his hands. Now, he changed into the vignce stand. It¡¯s time to take action.
At the morning court, the officials discovered that the emperor wasn¡¯t in the right state. To be more exact, since the day something happened to Wanyan Yi, Wanyan Lie looked a lot older. It was especially obvious in recent days.
¡°If something is the matter, then submit the report. If there¡¯s no important matter, then retreat the morning court!¡± Jing De¡¯s voice spread to throughout the hall. The officials had their head lowered slightly and stayed silent. The emperor was a bit irritable these days and his mood was not good. Before, he ordered the execution of an official who wanted to have an audience with the emperor, making the others tremble in fear. Under circumstances where nothing was the matter, they didn¡¯t dare to say a word more.
After waiting for a while and no one had something important to report, Jing De shouted, ¡°Retreat the morning court!¡± He left with Wanyan Lie.
¡°Jing De, what is princess Zhen Guo busy with recently?¡±
¡°Answering emperor, asionally, princess will go out the pce to Nan Lin wangfu. Usually, she stays in Long Autumn pce or goes to Jinxuan pce to apany the empress dowager.¡±
There was nothing unusual with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s behavior, but she always upied Long Autumn pce, making Wanyan Lie unable to see Wanyan Ming Yue. This was a big problem. The warning of that dream had been circling in Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart. Now, he could only hope that the dream was wrong.
¡°Jing De, when princess Zhen Guo goes to Nan Lin wangfu next time, let people inform zhen. Zhen wants to go see princess Ming Yue.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Looking at Wanyan Lie¡¯s haggard face, Jing De sighed.
Everything was great about this master. Only in the matter of love, he was too different from ordinary people. If this obsession was on another woman, there would¡¯ve been a happy ending. But, Wanyan Ming Yue is his biological sister, ah! From the beginning this crush was destined to end with tragedy.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s chance came two dayster. This day, Murong Qi Qi left the pce early in the morning with Su Mei and Su Yue and went to Nan Lin wangfu. After getting to know that Murong Qi Qi left, Wanyan Lie put down the document in his hand and went to Long Autumn pce.
After entering Long Autumn pce, Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart got a lot more peaceful. His pace was slightly slower than a moment ago. Now, he wanted to determine if his dream did or didn¡¯t happen.
Going down to the underground pce, following the familiar road, Wanyan Lie arrived at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s warm jade bed. After seeing that in the warm jade bedy Wanyan Ming Yue, Wanyan Lie sighed from relief.
¡°Yue er, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re here! It¡¯s great that you¡¯re here!¡± Wanyan Lie went forward and grabbed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. The heavy stone pressing his heart was finally put down. Wanyan Ming Yue was still here. His dream was really fake. Those worries and those depression disappeared after he saw the in deep sleep Wanyan Ming Yue.
Jing De stood at a side. After seeing such a Wanyan Lie, he shook his head. If there was something in this world that Wanyan Lie still cared about, then it would only be Wanyan Ming Yue. His (WL) whole life, the sovereign before his (JD) eyes would only fall on ¡®love¡¯.
¡°Yue er, recently I had a nightmare. I dreamed about someone taking you away. I screamed and rushed behind, but no matter what, I couldn¡¯t catch up. Later, I woke up from being frightened...¡± Wanyan Lie sat on the warm jade bed and looked at the peacefully asleep Wanyan Ming Yue. He told her all his worries.
¡°Don¡¯t leave me, alright?¡± Wanyan Lie gently kissed the back of Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. His voice was a bit hoarse, ¡°The matter of that year at Yandang mountain was my fault! I was jealous of Feng Xie. I hated him for taking you away. So, I became muddleheaded from jealousy and handed the military intelligence to Li Qiu Shui who was in love with Feng Xie. Finally, it resulted in the tragedy of Yandang mountain.¡±
¡°You know, in fact, the moment I handed the intelligence over to Li Qiu Shui, I regretted it. Feng Xie was my brother. You are my little sister. No matter how jealous I was of Feng Xie, I couldn¡¯t ignore the two hundred thousand soldiers.¡±
¡°But, but, I really couldn¡¯t control myself! Seeing you smile like a flower in Feng Xie¡¯s arms, Yue er, do you know, my heart was bleeding. I was so jealous, I nearly went crazy! Why do I have to be your big brother? Why am I your big brother?!¡±
Mentioning his pain, Wanyan Lie clenched his fists and severely hit the warm jade bed.
¡°If I wasn¡¯t your big brother, I would¡¯ve definitely been a pair like immortals with you. However, fate yed with me like this. It let me meet you and also let me get along with you as brother. Could it be that I was just a chess piece of heaven? Letting me fall in love with you and also letting me unable to get you. Such a feeling is really bad, really bad!¡±
Wanyan Lie beat the clothes on his chest. His eyes were moist. His hand held Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. A tear fell on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand.
¡°I admit, I¡¯m selfish. I was only selfishly loving you...Yue er, to me, the whole world couldn¡¯tpare to the charm of your smile. You¡¯re the only sun in my heart...So, no matter if the dream was real or fake, I beg you, don¡¯t leave me! Don¡¯t leave me alone! I beg you...¡±

Chapter 160 (Part 2) Exposing his mask
Chapter 160 (Part 2) Exposing his mask
Inside the underground pce, there was only the sound of Wanyan Lie¡¯s sobs. Jing De had only seen such a Wanyan Lie twice.
The first time was after Yandang mountain. Li Qiu Shui had handed Wanyan Ming Yue over to Wanyan Lie. When he saw the pale Wanyan Ming Yue who didn¡¯t wake up, Wanyan Lie cried. The second time was now.
The emperor, who was unreachable in the eyes of the world, was now crying helplessly like a child. Jing De¡¯s eyes got wet. He turned his face away and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Following Wanyan Lie for so many years, Jing De had seen too many things. Even Jing De himself was bit confused. He didn¡¯t know how to describe Wanyan Lie.
To say he¡¯s a bad person, but he¡¯s honest, upright and loved the citizens like his children. To say he¡¯s a good person, but Yandang mountain¡¯s two hundred thousand lives were destroyed by his hand. Even Jing De, who¡¯d followed Wanyan Lie for the longest, didn¡¯t know how to describe this emperor.
¡°Emperor, don¡¯t be too sad. If princess can hear you, she will certainly not wish you to be like this.¡± Jing De came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s side. He took out a clean handkerchief and handed it over. ¡°If you¡¯re like this, princess Ming Yue will also be sad.¡±
Jing De¡¯s words let tears umte in Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes. It was like a broken river had poured down.
¡°Jing De, you don¡¯t understand, ah! Yue er1 hates me! So, she would rather sleep than to wake up! She hates me from the bottom of her heart...,¡± Wanyan Lie gently patted Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand. He shook his head and his lips shivered a bit.
¡°Yue er, if I say that I know I am wrong, will you forgive me? Can you open your eyes and look at me once? Only once...,¡± Wanyan Lie raised his head. When he looked at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face, he was suddenly startled.
¡°Your majesty, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that Wanyan Lie had quieted down, Jing De also walked over. When he looked closer, he saw that the red bean hairpin on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair had disappeared.
¡°He came! He certainly must¡¯vee before!¡± Wanyan Lie jumped off the warm jade bed. He came to the front bedside. He carefully inspected once.
¡°That¡¯s right! Jing De, that person hade! He took the red bean hairpin. He also changed Yue er¡¯s clothes!¡±
Thest words were almost shouted by Wanyan Lie. Aside frombing Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair, he asked pce maids to change her clothes. Every time, the pce maid who¡¯d changed Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s clothes would be killed by him. So, no one ever saw Wanyan Ming Yue.
Now, the red bean hairpin in Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hair was gone. The dress on her body had also been changed. How could Wanyan Lie not be shocked? How could he not be angry?!
The person, who he had never touched and was held in the palm of his hand like a baby, had been touched by another man. Wanyan Lie was so angry that his gritted teeth made sounds. He obviously had sent people over. The whole Long Autumn pce was defended like an iron wall by his people. Why did such a thing still happen? How did that person enter the underground pce? How was he able to do such a thing?!
¡°Jing De, quickly go investigate! Who was it that touched princess Ming Yue?! Find that person!¡±
Thest sentence waspletely roared out by Wanyan Lie.
He had never thought that such a person will appear and disturb his dream of sixteen years. Wanyan Lie had an intuition. This person would certainly take Wanyan Ming Yue away, just like his dreams.
No! He couldn¡¯t let such a thing happen! He absolutely won¡¯t allow such a person to appear again! Because of Feng Xie, his hands were already stained with blood. Although he didn¡¯t want to, but he also wouldn¡¯t mind his hands getting stained with blood again!
¡°Yes! Yes!¡± When Jing De saw Wanyan Lie acting so out of control, he was about to leave, but after seeing something, his mouth dropped open.
¡°Emp...emperor...,¡± Jing De¡¯s expression was extremely strange. His finger pointed behind Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie¡¯s gaze followed Jing De¡¯s finger. He discovered that Wanyan Ming Yue had sat up and looked directly at him.
¡°Yue er...¡±
Wanyan Lie cried out from surprise. His expression wasn¡¯t much better than Jing De¡¯s. ¡°Yue er, is it really you?¡±
Not waiting for Wanyan Lie to understand, Wanyan Ming Yue smiled slightly. The smile was still there, but the person disappeared. In just a moment, she appeared in front of Wanyan Lie and hit his pressure point.
At the same time, Jing De felt pain in his back. His pressure point was also hit.
¡°Yue er, Yue er, what do you want to do...,¡± Wanyan Lie was very shocked. After that, something more shocking urred to him.
Dongfang Lan, Wanyan Kang, Feng Cang, Ming Yue Cheng, Jin Mo...many familiar and unfamiliar people appeared in front of him. What is going on? Wanyan Lie looked in disbelief at Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°I disappointed you.¡± Wanyan Ming Yue right hand touched her face, tore down a transparent mask and revealed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face.
¡°It¡¯s you...,¡± Wanyan Lie¡¯s surprise turned into anger from being deceived. ¡°Where did you hide Yue er? Where is Yue er?¡±
¡°You still have the face to mention Ming Yue?!¡± Dongfang Lan was so angry that her lips turned blue. Just now, they had been hiding in another secretne. So, they had heard Wanyan Lie¡¯s every word very clearly.
The truth hade out about what had happened sixteen years ago at Yandang mountain, but no one had ever thought that the secret was like this. It was actually Wanyan Lie, this country¡¯s emperor, who¡¯d sold the military intelligence to the enemy¡¯s country. From this, he¡¯d made two hundred thousand men of Bei Zhou die on the battlefield. Him being like this, how could he be worthy of Bei Zhou¡¯s citizens?! How could he be worthy of the dynasty?!
¡°Empress mother...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call aijia2 empress mother!¡± Because of anger, the ruby in the phoenix mouth of Dongfang Lan¡¯s phoenix crown trembled slightly. ¡°Aijia doesn¡¯t have a son like you! When your consort mother died and you were still a baby, it was aijia who¡¯d brought you up. I treated you like my own, but how did you repay aijia? You ruined Ming Yue! Ruined Feng Xie! Ruined so many people! You¡¯re not eligible to call aijia empress mother!¡±
Dongfang Lan was very furious. The son she¡¯d raised was actually a thankless wretch. He¡¯d actually did such a thing to her daughter, letting them be separated for sixteen years. All was thanks to this person in front of her.
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words made a trace of guilt sh in Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes. Indeed, he had grown up under Dongfang Lan¡¯s care. Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t treat him as an outsider. Instead, she¡¯d helped him when it was time to legalize a new emperor. All these good turns, he remembered them. It was just, he loved Wanyan Ming Yue. This matter of fact couldn¡¯t be changed.
¡°Empress mother, where is Yue er?¡± At this time, Wanyan Lie was most concerned about Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s safety. After seeing Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie understood that he had fallen into a. Those who¡¯d cast the were the people in front of him.
Since they cast a and waited to catch him, then did this mean that Wanyan Ming Yue had already woken up? Since it was like this, what he wanted most now was to see Wanyan Ming Yue!
¡°She left! She didn¡¯t want to see you!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s words were like a bolt from the blue and made Wanyan Lie¡¯s brain make a ¡®weng¡¯ sound.
¡°It couldn¡¯t be! Yue er wouldn¡¯t be like this!¡± Wanyan Lie shook his head. He didn¡¯t dare and also didn¡¯t want to believe Dongfang Lan¡¯s words. The words he¡¯d said for so many days at Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s ears, Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t believe that Wanyan Ming Yue hadn¡¯t heard them. If she understood his heart, she would certainly take pity on his difficulties and certainly wouldn¡¯t heartlessly leave him like this.
¡°Empress mother, you are lying to me, isn¡¯t it? Yue er is just angry and temporarily refused to see me, right?¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s expression was very pitiful, making people couldn¡¯t bear to hurt him. However, his expression turned into disgust in Dongfang Lan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t call aijia¡¯s Ming Yue. She will never see you again! Never will!¡±
Dongfang Lan¡¯s anger got to her brain. She was emotionally agitated. Her body also shook.
¡°Imperial grandmother!¡± Wanyan Kang quickly supported Dongfang Lan. He helped her sit. ¡°Imperial grandmother, don¡¯t get angry.¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s mood was veryplicated. Yesterday, Murong Qi Qi had called him to Long Autumn pce and took him to the underground pce. She also told him about Wanyan Lie¡¯s things.
When he saw this underground pce, Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes almost fell out. He never knew that there was such an underground pce in Long Autumn pce. However, even if there was an underground pce, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t believe Murong Qi Qi. He felt that she made up lies to deceive him.
Wanyan Ming Yue had already passed away sixteen years ago. How could she have been hidden in the underground pce by emperor father?! And great general Feng Xie, in the past, he (WK) went to Fengyu vi and also offered sacrifice for Feng Xie, how did Feng Xiee back to life?
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t believe it. Murong Qi Qi also didn¡¯t force him. Instead, she invited him toe see such a y today. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t reject Murong Qi Qi¡¯s invitation. He knew his emperor father. Wanyan Lie wouldn¡¯t vite proper human rtionships.
Although Wanyan Kang absolutely believed in Wanyan Lie, but he did hear Wanyan Lie¡¯s words very clearly just now in the underground pce. Wanyan Lie himself admitted his abnormal love towards Wanyan Ming Yue, making Wanyan Kang unable to react for some time. How could it be like this? Why was Wanyan Lie such a person and would do such a thing?
Immediately, the image of Wanyan Lie in Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart copsed. That emperor father whom he¡¯d admired for a long time, now no longer existed.
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t want to go look at Wanyan Lie, because it¡¯s still emotionally difficult for him to ept the matter of just now. Why was it like this? Why did Wanyan Lie hide it so deep?
Wanyan Kang wasn¡¯t a fool. He knew that this thing really happened. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t lie to him. At this point, his mood was veryplicated. The real side of the idol he always worshipped was actually like this. As a son, Wanyan Kang could really not ept it!
¡°I found it!¡± At this moment, the silent Ming Yue Cheng took out a green bamboo whistle from Wanyan Lie¡¯s clothes. ¡°This is it!¡±
¡°Great!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. This whistle was presumably the whistle which Ming Yue Cheng said could control the mother gu. ¡°Please, it¡¯s up to you now!¡±
When Wanyan Lie saw this, he suddenly came to the realization. It seemed that they¡¯ve long suspected him. They just camouged it well on the surface. ¡°You already knew?¡± Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t go look at Ming Yue Cheng and also didn¡¯t bother with Feng Cang. Instead, he looked at Murong Qi Qi.
¡°This, we should thank Ming Yue Cheng. If it wasn¡¯t for him, we wouldn¡¯t have known that the mother gu was in you.¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s answer made Wanyan Kang who was keeping Dongfang Lanpany at a side, raise his head suddenly. He understood the thing called gu. Before, Ming Yue Cheng specifically told him about the use of gu of Nan Feng¡¯s Qiang tribe. Now, hearing Wanyan Lie and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s dialogue, Wanyan Kang just understood that the things Ming Yue Cheng talked about before had a profound meaning.
¡°Who got infected with the gu?¡±
Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer Wanyan Kang. Instead, she looked at Feng Cang.
¡°Cousin brother, you got infected with the gu? Who did it?¡± When he asked this, Wanyan Kang already saw the answer from Feng Cang¡¯s face.
It was Wanyan Lie again? It was his good emperor father again? Wanyan Kang shook his head. He couldn¡¯t believe it, but the facts were ced in front of him, making him unable not to believe these.
¡°Ah Kang, I will exin a lot of things to youter. Now, we need to get rid of the gu poison for Feng Cang!¡± Ming Yue Cheng brought the whistle to his mouth. He began to y gently.
Originally, it was just an ordinary bamboo whistle, but on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s mouth, it was able to produce a crisp melody.
That tune had an exotic vour. With careful thought, one could guess that this must be Qiang¡¯s tribe unique set of music for the gu. It was specifically to tame the gu that this song waspiled.
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
Chapter 161 Settled (1)
Chapter 161 Settled (1)
In Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s mouth, the whistle seemed to havee to life. That gu music was simr to the music of ancient times. Long and slow like melodious love words...
¡°Googoo...,¡± A momentter, everyone heard a strange voice.
The chest of Wanyan Lie, who wasn¡¯t able to move, got nauseous. A hairy and hot-tempered thing appeared in his abdomen. A kind of terror climbed up along his stomach and came to his throat.
As it got closer to his oral cavity, Wanyan Lie could clearly feel those legs of the mother gu. They touched his throat like a brush. They swept gently over his throat as if he had inhaled a dandelion. It was disgustingly itchy.
¡°Ou...,¡± Although he couldn¡¯t move, but Wanyan Lie still found it difficult to suppress that kind of nausea. He gagged again and again, wanting to spit out that mother gu.
However, this mother gu seemed to understand human nature very well. It seemed to know Wanyan Lie¡¯s purpose. It simply stopped at the top of Wanyan Lie¡¯s throat. Its forepaw tightly grasped Wanyan Lie¡¯s tonsils. It also proudly made ¡®googoo¡¯ sounds as if it seemed to say, ¡°I just won¡¯te out. See what you can do?!¡±
¡°Googoo!¡±
¡°Googoo!¡±
Wanyan Lie heard the sounding from his mouth. He was very frightened. Once upon a time, he was also a spectator. He¡¯d watched at a side how the mother gu tortured others who was so much in pain that they didn¡¯t want to live anymore. He didn¡¯t expect that retribution came so fast.
¡°Hurry up, get it out! Get it out!¡±
Wanyan Lie almost roared these words out to Ming Yue Cheng. Presumably, those women who died at Long Autumn pce was also scared like this in the past! Wanyan Lie finally realized what kind of terrorizing feeling this was.
He also didn¡¯t remember if it was the third or the fourth woman who lived here and said to him when she was about to die, ¡°Wanyan Lie, one day, retribution certainly wille at you!¡± At that time, Wanyan Lie dismissed these words. It was just, now, he finally believed in karma and finally believed in retribution.
However, he was unwilling to ept! He still hasn¡¯t seen Wanyan Ming Yue. How could he give up?! He persisted for sixteen years. These past sixteen years, it was him who apanied Wanyan Ming Yue. Why did Wanyan Ming Yue leave like it was nothing? He didn¡¯t believe that she would be so heartless! He couldn¡¯t die like this. He wanted to live on and wait for Wanyan Ming Yue to give him an answer!
¡°Ou...,¡± Wanyan Lie continued to vomit. Ming Yue Cheng simply stopped blowing the whistle. He crossed his arms and looked at Wanyan Lie. Did this man not know that the more he was like this now, the more the gu won¡¯te out? If Wanyan Lie rxed, that mother gu woulde out after hearing the song. Now, he retched like this and almost put his fingers in his throat to grab the gu out. Mother gu knew human nature so well, how would ite out?!
¡°Googoo!¡± The mother gu seemed to have made up its mind to y Wanyan Lie.
It released its paws and left the tonsils. It wriggled its fat body and moved a few steps forward and came to Wanyan Lie¡¯s tongue. ¡°Googoo!¡±
Wanyan Lie thought that the mother gu wanted toe out. He was very happy and continued to retch. He didn¡¯t expect that the mother gu¡¯s paws clutched his tongue and the two sharp teeth at the front bit Wanyan Lie¡¯s tongue.
¡°Ah...¡± An unclear scream came from Wanyan Lies¡¯ throat. He was so much in pain that he sweated. His mouth was full of blood.
Getting a taste of fresh blood, the mother gu was very happy. It opened it mouths widely, sucked blood from Wanyan Lie¡¯s tongue and made ¡°goodoo, goodoo¡¯ sounds. It was like the sound of a child drinking water.
Seeing how scary of a thing the mother gu was, Wanyan Kang felt scared from the bottom of his heart. Looking at his emperor father bearing such a torture, Wanyan Kang felt his heart soften a bit.
¡°Let him go, alright...,¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice was very low. He didn¡¯t want Wanyan Lie to be too miserable. So, he begged Ming Yue Cheng. Although, Wanyan Lie really did wrong, but looking with his own eyes how sorry the figure of his own father was, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t do it.
Originally, Ming Yue Cheng also didn¡¯t intend on torturing Wanyan Lie. It was just, he (WL) wanted to use the way of vomit to extract the mother gu. This infuriated the mother gu. That was why the mother gu tortured Wanyan Lie like this.
With the bamboo whistle on his mouth, Ming Yue Cheng once again made a touching melody. When the mother gu heard this melody, it raised its head and looked outside. It had some hesitation.
Delicious blood was flowing out from the tongue in the mouth, but the wound of the whistle was amand it couldn¡¯t defy. How should it choose? The mother gu was also struggling!
If it was just now, the mother gu would¡¯ve certainly climb out of Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth, but now, that delicious blood was at the corner of its mouth and exuded a sweet taste. The blood let the mother gu be reluctant to part with it.
Seeing the mother gu like this, Ming Yue Cheng smiled and continued to blow on the whistle. He knew that the mother gu was reluctant to part with fresh human blood. This was his most favorite food. So now, he need to be patient to tempt it out.
Jin Mo and Su Yue had already put a piece of bamboo as wide a finger in front of Wanyan Lie. In the middle was a groove. At the other end was a small jade pot. Su Mei lit a fire and put the jade pot on the fire. The fire slowly warmed the pot.
A momentter, a peculiar fragrant emitted from the jade pot and spread throughout the room.
¡°Googoo!¡± The mother gu keenly smelled the fragrance. It twisted its chubby body, came to the corner of Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth and looked around.
Su Mei held a small fan. She fanned the fragrance in the direction of the mother gu. a strong fragrance floated. The mother gu immediately got excited.
¡°Googoo! Googoo!¡± After discovering a smell better than human blood, the mother gu almost ¡®jumped¡¯ out of Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth. Along on the ¡®bridge¡¯ Su Yue and Jin Mo built for it, it went straight to the jade pot.
When it arrived at the opening of the jade pot, the mother gu specifically leaned forward and looked inside. Not waiting for it to see clearly what was inside, the bamboo whistle in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hand lifted it inside the pot. Su Mei immediately covered the jade pot and closed the mother gu inside the pot.
¡°Done.¡± Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words made these people felt relieved.
The look of that mother gu still yed in everyone¡¯s head...chubby body and red like blood eyes. It was creepy to look at. Fortunately, there was Ming Yue Cheng to catch the mother gu. This was a good thing!
¡°Don¡¯t let the fire stop. Continue to boil! Maintain a small fire. Don¡¯t let the temperature raise too fast! Now, I need to go call the child gu!¡±
Just now, he only called the mother gu out of Wanyan lie¡¯s body. Now, getting the child gu out was the focus of the key. Everyone was with rapt attention and didn¡¯t dare to breath. Even Wanyan Lie who was constantly screaming from pain had been hit on the acupuncture point of muteness, making him unable to make a sound.
Ming Yue Cheng blew on the whistle. When he yed the melody, the people could clearly hear that this song was different. It was somewhat happy and somewhat ignorant. The child gu was simr to a human child. Naturally, you should use some happy music to awaken it.
¡°Googoo!¡± The mother gu in the jade pot didn¡¯t seem to be aware of the imminent danger. It coordinated with Ming Yue Cheng and made ¡®googoo¡¯ sounds as if it was calling its child to tell it that here, there¡¯s a delicious dinner and toe quickly taste it together.
Different from the ¡®googoo¡¯ sound of the mother gu, the child gu made ¡®guagua¡¯ sounds. Its voice wasn¡¯t as high as the mother gu¡¯s, but you can hear it clearly.
¡®Guagua...guagua...¡±
It¡¯s the child gu! Everyone exchanged a nce. As long as they call the child gu out, put it in the jade pot together with the mother gu and boil it together with Chinese medicine and tea, this problem would be solved.
It was just, after listening for a while, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s face darkened. He blew on the whistle and looked for where the ¡®guagua¡¯ sound came from. In the end, he stood in front of Murong Qi Qi.
At this time, Murong Qi Qi also heard the sounding from her belly. Sweat was on her palms. Her face also paled.
¡°What happened? Howe it¡¯s like this?!¡± Feng Cang who stood at a side already saw the seriousness of the matter from Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s face.
Ming Yue Cheng put down the bamboo whistle and looked ta Murong Qi Qi¡¯s belly. He grabbed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hand and checked her pulse. In the end, it let Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression be darker.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Feng Cang had a bad feeling. However, he couldn¡¯t say more when Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s fistnded on Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face, ¡°Bastard...¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s roar and that heavy blow made the people dumbfounded. They saw that purple figure rushed over and pinned Feng Cang to the ground. He directly pressured him across the ground. ¡°You, this bastard!¡± Ming Yue Cheng sent another fist over, but this time, Feng Cang grabbed his fist.
Before, Feng Cang didn¡¯t had any guard against him, so he suffered that punch. Now, his left face was already swollen. His lips had been broken by his teeth. Feng Cang didn¡¯t know why Ming Yue Cheng was being like this. However, he got one punch. This time he wouldn¡¯t let him (MYC) hit him again.
Feng Cang¡¯s counterattack made Ming Yue Cheng angrier. He screamed bastard repeatedly and became a ball with Feng Cang on the ground.
This scene made the people dumbfounded. What¡¯s happening here? Why didn¡¯t Ming Yue Cheng say anything and directly fisted Feng Cang? What was the problem?
¡°Separate them!¡± Seeing the two grown men tumbling on the ground like children, Murong Qi Qi was the most sensible among the crowd. The moment she said that, Wanyan Kang and Jin Mo, both pulled one and spent a long time before they could separate Feng Cang and Ming Yue Cheng.
Now, gone was the handsome appearance of the two. Their whole body was covered in dust. Feng Cang¡¯s left face was wounded. Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯t much better. His right eye was very swollen. The originally clear eye was now narrowed into a seam.
¡°Bastard!¡± Although being pulled away, Ming Yue Cheng was still cursing at Feng Cang. His eyes showed anger, making the confusion erge in the other people¡¯s hearts. What was the case for Ming Yue Cheng to be so out of control?
¡°Is it that there is a problem with the child gu?¡± Recalling that before Ming Yue Cheng attacked Feng Cang, he had checked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pulse, Jin Mo frowned. Could it be that there was a problem? Jin Mo¡¯s handnded on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s wrist. A momentter, Jin Mo¡¯s face also changed greatly.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?! Quickly tell us, ah! Really making people so anxious!¡± Su Mei saw that Jin Mo and Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression turned bad, she was very anxious and shouted.
¡°Princess is pregnant.¡±
Jin Mo said the answer. The people who were nervous just now, because of this news, their face became a lot better.
¡°Great! Miss is pregnant!¡± Su Mei screamed, but the moment she screamed this, she felt something was wrong. If this was a good thing, why would Ming Yue Cheng and Jin Mo¡¯s expression be abnormal? Su Mei thought of it; after the happiness, the others also discovered the problem. They all looked at Ming Yue Cheng and wanted to find an answer from him.
¡°Princess is indeed pregnant, but the child gu is in the fetus.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words were like a bolt from the blue making everyone surprised. No one dared to believe this fact.
¡°I have a child?¡± Murong Qi Qi touched her belly. She was careless. She actually didn¡¯t know that she had a child and was about to be a mother! However, why would this gu be on the child?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s question got the answer from Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°The child gu is different from the mother gu. It hasn¡¯t taken form yet. It¡¯s only as big as an ant. Usually, when someone got a gu he/she doesn¡¯t need to abstain from intercourse. However, among the mother child gu, because the child gu is still arva, the one who has the child gu must abstain!¡±
¡°Gu are extremely intelligent creatures. They can choose their host ording to the environment. The stability of an adult gu is strong. Unless, it was controlled by the bamboo whistle, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t leave its original host. However, the child gu is arva and didn¡¯t undergo domestication. Their self-control isn¡¯t strong. They will choose a better host such as babies...¡±
Talking till here, Ming Yue Cheng red fiercely at Feng Cang. He wished to stab him two times with a dagger.
It was precisely because Feng Cang got Murong Qi Qi pregnant. That was why, when the two had intercourse, the child gu chose the child in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s belly as host. In this world, there was no ce better to take advantage of than a fetus!
¡°What?!¡± Feng Cang froze there. He also finally understood why Ming Yue Cheng was so agitated.
He had a child. This was originally a delightful matter, but now Ming Yue Cheng told him, the child gu went to his child¡¯s body and lived in the body of the child. It was in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s belly. How could Feng Cang ept such an oue?
¡°You must¡¯ve have a way, right?¡± Feng Cang stepped forward, grabbed Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hand and asked anxiously, ¡°You certainly will get rid of the child gu, right?¡±
¡°I¡¯m powerless.¡± Ming Yue Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he had a way, he wouldn¡¯t watch the woman he loves go through such a thing!
¡°In this world there¡¯s no ce more suitable for gu to grow than a woman¡¯s warm womb. Even if the temptation of the outside world is very big, the child gu wouldn¡¯t be moved. I can¡¯t let this child gue out.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words made Feng Cang wentpletely nk.
How..e it was like this?
In contrast, the involved party, Murong Qi Qi was the most sensible.
She got a child. So great! This is her and Feng Cang¡¯s child, ah! When the others were concerned for her, in her heart, she felt happiness and bliss. When she thought about a little life who was like her and like Feng Cang sprouted in her belly, Murong Qi Qi would feel very happy! ¡°Is there no other way to deal with this child gu?¡±
¡°There is only two ways. Firstly, abort the child. You¡¯re now only one month pregnant. Abort it is the best way. Secondly, give birth to the child and find people of the Qiang tribe to get rid of the gu...¡±
Ming Yue Cheng exined these two methods very clearly. Murong Qi Qi would absolutely not agree on aborting this child and deprive the child of life. This is the fruit of her and Feng Cang¡¯s love. She would not easily give up on it. The second option is feasible.
¡°Abort...¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give birth...¡±
Two different decisions came respectively from Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Qing Qing!¡± Seeing that Murong Qi Qi insisted on keeping the child, Feng Cang came to her side and held her hand. His eyes showed regret and hate towards himself, ¡°Qing Qing, I know you like children very much, but we can¡¯t have this child!¡±
Now, Feng Cang felt that it was right that Ming Yue Cheng had hit him. He really was a bastard. He¡¯d actually implicated Murong Qi Qi and their child!
Murong Qi Qi expected Feng Cang to oppose. He was worried about her and also worried about the child. Murong Qi Qi could understand this. Feng Cang¡¯s guilt made Murong Qi Qi feel heartache. This was not his fault! Even she, the doctor, didn¡¯t know the characteristics of the child gu. If you¡¯re not someone from Qiang tribe, you wouldn¡¯t fully understand the characteristics of gu. What did this have to do with Feng Cang?!
However, Feng Cang didn¡¯t understand a woman¡¯s heart of being a mother. This little life was like a little seed that sprouted and grew in her body. The child had just arrived, how could they let him/her leave?! She was unwilling!
¡°Ming Yue, if I give birth to the child, is it really possible to get rid of the child gu on him/her?¡± Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer Feng Cang. Instead, she asked Ming Yue Cheng.
She wanted this child, but if getting rid of the gu would harm the child¡¯s life or let the child be so much in pain that he/she wants to die, she wouldn¡¯t be so selfish to force this child to stay and let him/her bear that pain from the moment he/she was born.
¡°Children born with gu are called gu people. Because the gu grew up with the child since he/she was a fetus, so getting rid of the gu on the child¡¯s body will be more difficult than getting rid of gu in the usual way. The time it would take will also be longer. Perhaps, one or two years. Perhaps five or six years...But don¡¯t worry, the gu won¡¯t hurt someone who lived with it since he/she was a child.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words made Murong Qi Qi more determined to keep this child. The silent Jin Mo, who¡¯d been waiting at a side, now interrupted.
¡°As far as I know, people from Qiang tribe would not get rid of gu for outsiders. Although your majesty has Qiang tribe¡¯s blood, but I am afraid that the n¡¯s chief won¡¯t be so easy to talk with.¡±
¡°I will think of a way...,¡± Ming Yue Cheng interrupted Jin Mo. How could he not be clear about these things? However, since Murong Qi Qi wanted it, he will do his utmost to help.
¡°Actually, the most crucial thing now is that it won¡¯t be easy to nourish this child in the mother¡¯s body. Maybe you will have to bear more hardship than other pregnant woman...¡±
Originally, Ming Yue Cheng wanted to say ¡®pain¡¯, but when the word came to his lips, he changed it to hardship. He was afraid that he would frighten Murong Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t want her to spend her whole pregnancy frightened. So, he only used ¡®hardship¡¯ to describe what would happen in the following months.
Chapter 162 Settled (2)
Chapter 162 Settled (2)
¡°I know!¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded. As long as the gu could be removed and the child could live well, what did it matter that she, the mother, would suffer a bit?!
Although Murong Qi Qi decided to give birth to the child, but Feng Cang still refused to agree. Now that he¡¯d heard Murong Qi Qi would have a hard time during the pregnancy, Feng Cang felt a lot of heartache.
¡°Qing Qing, we will have a lot of children. This child doesn¡¯t have the fate to be with us. We...give up, alright?!¡± Feng Cang had experienced the pain of the gu. He didn¡¯t wish for Murong Qi Qi and the child to also experience it.
Murong Qi Qi understood Feng Cang¡¯s concern, but she¡¯s a mother. Besides, Ming Yue Cheng said that the child gu wouldn¡¯t hurt the child and the gu could be removed in the future. This made her more determined to have the child.
¡°Cang, you¡¯ve always been very tolerant towards me. You obeyed me on everything. Can you also amodate me this time? Take it as if I was headstrong and got into a huff, but I really, really want to have this child! Cang...this is our child, ah!¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s voice trembled slightly. She looked at Feng Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes. Her eyes also got tears. No one wanted the child gu to go to the child, but after all, this was a life. This was their first child. Murong Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to give up like this. No matter what, she wanted to fight. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up!
¡°Qing Qing!¡± Hearing Murong Qi Qi¡¯s words, Feng Cang pulled her into his arms. All sort of feelings tumbled in his heart, making him unable to say the words that were on his lips.
How could he not understand Murong Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts?! This was his child. He was also not willing to part with him/her, ah! However, he didn¡¯t have the heart to see Murong Qi Qi suffer. He didn¡¯t have the heart to see the child be separated from them since birth. Too many feelings of ¡®didn¡¯t have the heart to¡¯ flooded in Feng Cang¡¯s heart...
However, after being faced with Murong Qi Qi¡¯s beautiful ¡®pleading¡¯ eyes, Feng Cang¡¯s feelings of ¡®didn¡¯t have the heart to¡¯ expanded to the limit. Among the so many ¡®didn¡¯t have the heart to¡¯, the most prominent was to see her in tears. His heart felt like a dagger was piercing it.
¡°Good! As long as you¡¯re willing, as long as you like, I will agree on everything!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s head buried in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s hair. A teardrop fell into her dark hair.
This was his wife, but he was powerless when she¡¯d encountered a problem. This made Feng Cang want to give himself two ps in the face! Ming Yue Cheng was right in hitting him. He indeed deserved to be hit! He¡¯d actually ced his wife and child in such positions, making him unable not to hate his ipetence! ¡°No matter what, I will stay with you! I will forever stay with you!¡±
Murong Qi Qi held Feng Cang. She closed her eyes in order to not let her tears fall. She could hear the great regret in his voice. He wasn¡¯t to me for this matter, but he had so much remorse. This man put everything on him, how could her heart not ache for him?
¡°Of course, you should stay with me! You¡¯re my husband. You are the father of my child. If you don¡¯t stay with me, then who will take care of me and our child?!¡±
¡°Wait, wait, what are you talking about? Why can¡¯t aijia1 understand?¡±
At this moment, Dongfang Lan came stumbling towards Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. What had happened just now, made this empress dowager dizzy, ¡°What child? Whose child? Why can¡¯t ajia understand? Also, what¡¯s the matter with you? You...¡±
Dongfang Lan pointed at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, who were in an embrace. Her expression showed that she was very shocked, ¡°You are siblings. How can you do that?!¡±
¡°Grandmother, Cang isn¡¯t my biological big brother. He was a child that father and mother had adopted. He doesn¡¯t have any blood rtion with me!¡±
Seeing that Dongfang Lan misunderstood, Murong Qi Qi quickly exined the reason. It was just, she¡¯d said it so suddenly. Dongfang Lan was surprised for a moment, ¡°Qi Qi, is not that you want to be with Cang er2 that you lied to aijia, right? You¡¯re siblings. Siblings can¡¯t be together!¡±
¡°Grandmother!¡± Murong Qi Qi went forward and held Dongfang Lan¡¯s hand, ¡°Grandmother, look at our appearance. There¡¯s no ce where we look alike, ah! Cang also doesn¡¯t look like father or mother. He¡¯s not my biological big brother! If you don¡¯t believe, then father and mother can testify!¡±
Murong Qi Qi putting Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xue out, made Dongfang Lan finally believe a bit. The fact that the grandchild she¡¯d loved for so many years was actually not her daughter¡¯s, made Dongfang Lan surprised.
After another thought, Feng Cang really doesn¡¯t look like Feng Xie or Wanyan Ming Yue. When Feng Cang was little, Dongfang Lan had already seen this. It was just, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue always insisted that Feng Cang was their ¡®son¡¯. So, Dongfang Lan also believed that Feng Cang was her biological grandchild. Thinking about it now, it was definitely Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie who¡¯d lied to her.
Murong Qi Qi said ¡®father and mother¡¯. Wanyan Lie who was at a side, waspletely shocked. What did she mean? What was father and mother? Could it be...could it be Feng Xie didn¡¯t die?! Could it be that the person who took Wanyan Ming Yue away was Feng Xie?! How could this be?! How could it be like this?!
Wanyan Lie was eager to ask what was going on. The person in ck who appeared in his dreams was actually Feng Xie. How could this be?! A ¡®this couldn¡¯t be¡¯ hit Wanyan Lie¡¯s heart, making him ignore Feng Cang¡¯s past history that Murong Qi Qi talked about.
¡°Ha!¡± Wanyan Lie forced the release of the acupuncture point, but he didn¡¯t have the time to think, when Murong Qi Qi¡¯s, Jin Mo¡¯s and Su Yue¡¯s sword had been framed at his neck.
¡°Be more well-behaved!¡± Su Yue tied Wanyan Lie tightly, making him unable to move. It was all this person¡¯s fault! Without any reason, he caused guye3 harm. Now, he caused miss to be like this. Even little master was in danger. All was this bastard¡¯s fault!
¡°Feng Xie...is still alive?¡± Because his tongue was bitten by the mother gu, Wanyan Lie became lisp. The words were divided and unclear, but the two words ¡®Feng Xie¡¯, Murong Qi Qi could heard them clearly.
¡°My father is still alive. Now, he wandered the horizon with my mother.¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Lie painfully shook his head, ¡°No...Yue er von¡¯t treat ne like this...no!¡± Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t want to believe the fact that Feng Xie was still alive. Wasn¡¯t he burned to death at Yandang mountain? Why was Feng Xie still alive? How did he find Wanyan Ming Yue? Did Ming Yue really go with him?!
The moment he recalled how in his dreams, Wanyan Ming Yue left without looking back, Wanyan Lie shook his head. His old face was full of tears.
Wanyan Kang had never saw such Wanyan Lie. In his memories, his emperor father had always been a formidable and firm person. Was this person full of tears who kept calling ¡®Yue er¡¯ still the emperor father he worshipped?
Wanyan Lie was heartbroken, but the fan in Su Mei¡¯s hand hadn¡¯t stopped fanning.
The mother gu in the jade pot probably guessed that it had been fooled. It struggled in the jade pot.
As the temperature rises, the hot oil mixed with the Chinese medicine, making the mother gu in great pain. Its chubby body hit the jade pot and made ¡®dong, dong¡¯ sounds, but the fan in Su Mei¡¯s hand hadn¡¯t stopped. The hot oil in the jade pot began to crackle. The mother gu still gave the final struggle. After a while, the voice gradually stopped.
¡°Continue! Don¡¯t stop!¡± Ming Yue Cheng guided Su Mei. ¡°Gu¡¯s are intelligent. They will fake death. Must burn everything in the jade pot!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Su Mei vented all her anger on the poor mother gu. Miss and little master was like this made Su Mei very unhappy! She hated herself for not being able to solve Murong Qi Qi¡¯s worries and that she couldn¡¯t help her master. So, Su Mei¡¯s mood was very bad! The fan in her hand fanned harder!
Wanyan Lie sat on the ground dispirited. Wanyan Kang approached and wanted to help him up, but he was depressed and didn¡¯t want to get up. He just sat against a wall and kept calling. ¡°Yue er doesn¡¯t want me anymore, doesn¡¯t want me anymore...¡±
Wanyan Lie¡¯s eyes seemed to have lost luster. The eyes looked emptily in front of him. He kept repeating that sentence. He was like a child abandoned by his parents; poor and helpless, making people unable to continue to hate him.
Although, unexpected things happened during the process of getting rid of the gu, but overall, everything went well. Jin Mo stopped the bleeding for Wanyan Lie and fed Wanyan Lie a pill.
¡°Jin Mo...,¡± When Jin Mo fed the pill, Wanyan Kang grabbed Jin Mo¡¯s hand, ¡°Perhaps, it¡¯s a bit shameless if I say it, but I want to beg you to spare his life! After all, he¡¯s my emperor father. After all, he did meritorious deeds for Bei Zhou!¡±
After looking at Wanyan Kang for a long while, Jin Mo said, ¡°Originally, I advocated to kill him, but princess said, a hateful man certainly has something to be pathetic about...So, don¡¯t worry. This pill is only for him to forget everything. It won¡¯t take his life.¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t dare to expect that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi would let Wanyan Lie off. After all, he went too overboard with the things he did. Even Wanyan Kang felt ashamed as a son. It was just, he (WL) gave him (WK) life after all. They have the same blood. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have the heart to see him die.
After feeding Wanyan Lie the pill, Jin Mo unlocked the acupuncture point for Jing De. Jing De¡¯s face turned purple after his blood vessels was obstructed for a long time. But after his point was unlocked, the first thing he did wasn¡¯t to relieve his bones. Instead, he began to kowtow towards Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Thanking wangye!4 Thanking princess! Thank you for letting emperor off! Thank you!¡±
A long time ago, Jing De knew that there would be such a day. The things Wanyan Lie did would be discovered. Feng Cang would take revenge. However, Jing De didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xie was still alive and that Wanyan Ming Yue actually had woken up.
It seemed that everything was destined. It¡¯s time for the emperor to let go!
Until he kowtowed till his head got red did Jing De stand up and walked to Wanyan Lie. At this time, medicine already had taken effect. Wanyan Lieughed sillily at Jing De as if he didn¡¯t remember anymore who Jing De was. This made Jing De very sad.
¡°Emperor, this ve will always serve you! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Jing De wiped the blood of Wanyan Lie¡¯s mouth with his sleeve. He turned and knelt once again towards Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
¡°Wangye, in fact, this ve knew that this matter woulde to light one day. Sooner orter, the things emperor did would be known. This ve also helped emperor do many things. This ve is also sinful...now, this ve doesn¡¯t ask for anything else. This ve only asks to always serve emperor. No matter where the emperor goes, this ve is emperor¡¯s ve. Asking wangye to please support!¡±
¡°Good,¡± Feng Cang nodded.
Although, Wanyan Lie did many wrongful things towards Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue, but towards this country, Wanyan Lie had merit. His sin was not enough to die for. Even if a gu was put on Feng Cang by Wanyan Lie, but he didn¡¯t wish for Wanyan Lie to die. Now, probably this was the best result.
On this day, all the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital had been called to Long Autumn pce. Not a whileter, the matter of Wanyan Lie getting a stroke was spread out.
Although the officials were puzzled, but no one would raise objections. After all, the military was in Nan Lin wang Feng Cang¡¯s hand. The whole capital was under his control. Even if Wanyan Lie didn¡¯t get a stroke, this throne would¡¯ve eventually been passed onto Feng Cang. There was no need to doubt this. No one would question the fact that Feng Cang was the heir of Bei Zhou.
Now, no matter what Wanyan Lie had done, Feng Cang would be the next emperor. Those who¡¯d waited and were only spectators were already preparing ways to curry favour from this new emperor.
Surprisingly, the next morning, when Jing De announced the imperial edict, the throne was passed onto the six-year-old imperial grandson, that is, Wanyan Hong and Yu Shi Shi¡¯s son, Wanyan Lie¡¯s only grandson...Wanyan Jie.
The imperial edict specifically reced the current identity of Feng Cang with a new one that reflects its true nature. Feng Cang appeared for the first time with the identity of Feng Xie¡¯s and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s adopted son Long Ao Tian. Nan Lin wang was changed to Regent. Feng Qi Qi became grand princess Zhen Guo. The two would assist the new emperor till the new emperor turned sixteen and took over. As for fifth prince Wanyan Kang, he was bestowed the title Xiaoyao (free and unfettered) wang.
This imperial edict shocked the officials. Feng Cang¡¯s surname was Long? Long was the previous dynasty¡¯s surname, ah! Although everyone had questions, but no one mentioned them.
Among Wanyan Lie¡¯s five princes, only Wanyan Hong, Wanyan Yi and Wanyan Kang had survived. Wanyan Hong was imprisoned at Nanyuan. Wanyan Yi had died at Xia Yun Xi¡¯s hand. Now, only fifth prince Wanyan Kang was left. It was just, was Wanyan Kang really willing to only be Xiaoyao wang?
Wanyan Kang¡¯s attitude let the officials find some clues. After another thought, this highness always had a good rtionship with Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. Perhaps, these three jointly did this thing. Thinking till here, the officials willing knelt down and kowtowed.
To them, this throne was a matter of the imperial family. Since the imperial reached an agreement on this issue, then they should only serve as courtiers. Not to mention, Feng Cang wasn¡¯t someone easy to deal with. He was merely a regent. The country¡¯s surname was still Wanyan. This country was still the imperial family¡¯s.
Since Yu Shi Shi had died and Wanyan Hong was deposed, Wanyan Jie became a child without a father or mother. Although Wanyan Lie took this imperial grandson to the pce, but which one of the pce servants weren¡¯t flexible and took advantage of the situation?! No one bothered about this declined imperial grandson and also no one cared for him. This made Wanyan Jie¡¯s originally cheerful and lively character be timid and introvert.
At this time, Wanyan Jie wore a small dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair. He was bit cautious. He was also very nervous. He didn¡¯t know what an emperor should do. Yesterday, he had been taken here by a beautiful sister. Now, this beautiful sister held his hand, making him not be so scared even though he was sitting on the dragon chair.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Act ording to how aunty taught you!¡± Seeing Wanyan Jie be ill at ease, Murong Qi Qi smiled gently. She gently kneaded his small hand, ¡°Aunty will stay with you! Don¡¯t be afraid!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± The one Wanyan Jie was afraid of was Feng Cang, because Feng Cang always had a cold face and his body exuded coldness. So, inparison, Wanyan Jie preferred Murong Qi Qi because she was very beautiful. She was more beautiful than his mother. Besides, her smile was very warm. He liked this beautiful sister.
Jing De read a long ¡®tell the world¡¯ edict of the new emperor in Wanyan Jie¡¯s stead. Wanyan Jie¡¯s immature voice sounded in Taiji hall, ¡°Beloved officials, if there¡¯s something, enlighten, if there¡¯s nothing, then retreat from the morning court!¡±
With Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi here, how would the officials have something to say? Besides, Wanyan Kang showed his stance very clearly just now. It¡¯s better if they don¡¯t intervene in the matter of the imperial family.
The smooth ascension of the new emperor made everyone surprised. With Feng Cang¡¯s eagle troop, even the people who wanted to cause trouble also had to weigh their own ability.
Ten dayster, Wanyan Kang told Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi in the regent¡¯s residence that he wanted to leave the capital to go y in the water and tour the mountains. This made the two people very surprised.
¡°Ah Kang, you really want to leave?¡± The person who asked was Feng Cang. Wanyan Jie had just sessfully ascended the throne, and Wanyan Kang had already proposed to go wander everywhere to be a true Xiaoyao (free and unfettered) wang. This made Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, who¡¯d always seen him as a friend, very sad.
¡°Ah Kang, stay!¡± Murong Qi Qi urged Wanyan Kang to stay.
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s sincere eyes, Wanyan Kangughed naughtily, ¡°Cousin brother, cousin-inw, don¡¯t be so sensational! It wasn¡¯t easy to have no one to discipline me. Let me be free for some time! I promise that I will only go for a stroll and won¡¯t stir up trouble. Don¡¯t worry!¡±
Wanyan Kang was smiling, but in his heart, he was very sad.
Wanyan Lie¡¯s matter affected him deeply, making him feel guilt every time he faced Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. It turned out that all their misfortunes were brought by Wanyan Lie. He, as Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s good friend, actually didn¡¯t know anything and couldn¡¯t help. Now, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s child got the gu. How could he not feel guilty?
After getting to know Wanyan Lie¡¯s true colors, Wanyan Kang decided to leave.
Previously, Jing De brought the edict that Wanyan Lie had already prepared. The edict specified to pass the throne to Feng Cang, but Feng Cang had no interest in the throne. He wanted to give the throne to Wanyan Kang, but was rejected by Wanyan Kang.
He didn¡¯t want to sit on the cold dragon chair and in the end, be like Wanyan Lie. He didn¡¯t want to lose Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi¡¯s friendship. He didn¡¯t want to be another person because of that superior position.
Wanyan Kang was unwilling to be the emperor. As ast resort, Feng Cang brought out imperial grandson Wanyan Jie and also revised the edict. After that, the problem was finally solved. Unexpectedly, they¡¯d just stabilised the situation when Wanyan Kang proposed to leave...
¡°Ah Kang, what will happen to Su Mei when you leave? Could it be that if you go away for three or five years, you want Su Mei to wait for you?!¡± Seeing that she couldn¡¯t persuade Wanyan Kang, Murong Qi Qi pulled Su Mei out. She could sense that Wanyan Kang had received a blow because of Wanyan Lie¡¯s matter. That was why he¡¯d chosen to leave. Although he was smiling, but the sadness and guilt in his eyes couldn¡¯t fool people.
Murong Qi Qi mentioning Su Mie made Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart feel another twitch of pain. His gaze fell behind Murong Qi Qi, where Su Mei had red eyes from almost crying.
¡°Little Mei er, I¡¯m sorry...¡±
1. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
4. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
Chapter 163 (part 1)Young empress dowager
Chapter 163 (part 1)Young empress dowager
Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯, made Su Mei rmed. That pair of eyes full of sadness was filled with tears now, ¡°You¡¯re apologizing to me, could it be that you want to leave me alone?¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have an answer for Su Mei. He didn¡¯t want to and also won¡¯t separate from Su Mei. However, if he continues to stay here, thinking about Wanyan Lie¡¯s actions, he felt very painful.
He wanted to take her along and wander the horizon together. He didn¡¯t know if Su Mei was willing or not. Su Mei was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s left and right hand. The feelings between the master and servant was deep. Now, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. If he took Su Mei away at this time, no matter what, it wouldn¡¯t be reasonable. It was just, although he knew that it was like this, Wanyan Kang still asked his question. He wanted Su Mei to choose.
¡°Little Mei er1, are you willing to go with me?¡±
This question startled Su Mei. It turned out that he didn¡¯t want to leave alone, but he wanted to take her with him! At this time, the hurt on Su Mei¡¯s face went a bit away. It was just, if she goes with Wanyan Kang, then what about miss? Miss was now pregnant. Moreover, little master had a gu on him. If she leaves, who will serve miss?
Su Mei¡¯s silence made Wanyan Kangugh bitterly once. Sure enough, in her heart, the one she thought more about was still Feng Qi Qi...
Thinking till here, Wanyan Kang put away the sadness in his heart and smiled naughtily at Su Mei.
¡°Little Mei er, don¡¯t worry. I will just go out for a stroll. It would also take a year or so. It won¡¯t be long! When cousin inw gives birth to the baby, I wille back to see my little nephew. Conveniently, I will marry you! Lest, that you can¡¯t get married and hang on cousin brother and cousin inw! Benwang2 tackled the difficult job of marrying you. It could also be considered a help of reducing cousin inw¡¯s burden!¡±
¡°What are you saying, ah?!¡± Wordsing from Wanyan Kang¡¯s mouth always made people so angry. Could it be that he had to use such an image to face her? Could it be that he couldn¡¯t open his heart in front of her?
Su Mei wanted to scold, but when she saw the smile on Wanyan Kang¡¯s face, she closed her mouth. Her nose humphed once. She turned her face and looked elsewhere with a look of ¡®I don¡¯t care about you¡¯.
¡°This miss is loved by all. Flowers will bloom when they see me. When a carriage saw me, it will carry me. How would I not be able to marry? The moment your forefoot left, the next moment, I will find ten handsome men to apany me!¡±
The offensive words Su Mei said changed taste when they reached Wanyan Kang¡¯s ears, ¡°Just now, I was thinking if I should remind you to keep yourself pure for me and shouldn¡¯t be the red apricot tree that leas over the garden wall. Now, you said your true feelings! So sad...the man had the mind, but the woman doesn¡¯t have the intention. Then, I should better go find a small jade flower! By then, I will embrace on the left and hug on the right. Very contended, ah!¡±
The red apricot tree that leans over the garden wall: a wife having an illicit lover
¡°Alright, ah! Go find, ah!¡± Su Mei¡¯s eyes got red. Her nose got sour. Her foot kicked Wanyan Kang. Don¡¯t know if she did it on purpose or what, she kicked his crotch. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t pay attention and was attacked by Su Mei. He immediately hugged his lower body and screamed.
¡°Little Mei er, you kill the husband! I want to divorce you!¡±
¡°We haven¡¯t married yet! No need to trouble you!¡±
At this time, the two were still like hedgehogs. You plunge me, I plunge you, making Feng Qi Qi who saw it rant and rave. Finally, when she saw that the two was about to ¡®attack¡¯ each other, Feng Qi Qi roared, ¡°Both of you, shut up!¡±
This roar made Wanyan Kang and Su Mei shut up. Feng Qi Qi looked at Su Mei and in the end, looked at Wanyan Kang. Her voice also became icy.
¡°What, Xiaoyao wang3 wants to pat your ass and leave after finishing eating? Is bengong¡¯s4 godsister so easy to bully? Or is it that Xiaoyao wang didn¡¯t put bengong, this grand princess in your eyes and also didn¡¯t put the regent in your eyes? So, that was why you dared to bully bengong¡¯s sister like this?¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ability to reverse the ck and the white made Wanyan Kang dumbfounded. In just a moment, Su Mei became this grand princess¡¯s godsister. Moreover, she kept reprimanding him that he ate Su Mei and didn¡¯t own up to it. In this world, there was no one who would be better at framing than Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Miss...,¡± In the end, Su Mei followed Feng Qi Qi the longest. She knew that miss was helping her, but she didn¡¯t want Wanyan Kang to marry her under Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®threat¡¯. She didn¡¯t want that!
¡°Shut up!¡±
Su Mei didn¡¯t expect that her words would result in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®scolding¡¯ her.
¡°You followed bengong for so long, why didn¡¯t you learn to have bengong¡¯s discerning eyes? What do you want with a man who will escape and evade when met with a problem? Why do you have to put your heart on him? Could it be that all men had died?! He doesn¡¯t have any sense of responsibility. Facing pressure, he will want to leave. He¡¯s innocent, but in this world, there are people more innocent than him! Didn¡¯t everyone withstand it?!¡±
Usually, it was rare to enjoy Feng Qi Qi¡¯s sharp words. Now, Long Ao Tian simply crossed his arms and watched at a side.
Long Ao Tian understood Wanyan Kang¡¯s mind, but what Feng Qi Qi said was also correct! Wanyan Lie was between them. He was a presence that couldn¡¯t be ignored. However, Wanyan Kang would need to cross this pit. Escape wasn¡¯t a solution. Not to mention that he had Su Mei now!
Long Ao Tian watched the ¡®y¡¯. Feng Qi Qi continued to ¡®scold¡¯ Su Mei.
¡°Listen to bengong! From now on, you¡¯re Bei Zhou¡¯s grand princess Zheng Guo Feng Qi Qi¡¯s godsister. In Bei Zhou, aside from bengong, you¡¯re the second woman with the most noble identity.¡±
¡°There are many people now who want to form a rtionship with bengong! There are countless of young masters from those great officials, nobles, general and princes. After two days, bengong will make a feast to enjoy the flower to specifically invite the young masters over to let you choose. No need to be afraid of not finding a good one! Just wait with a peaceful mind till the marriage and to be the bride! A certain someone doesn¡¯t like you. Bengong must seek a good marriage for you to let someone see!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s demeanor was serious as never before, making Su Mei panic, ¡°Miss, I, I don¡¯t want to marry anyone else. I don¡¯t want to!¡±
¡°Su Mei, if you want, you still have to do it. If you don¡¯t want, you still have to do it. It¡¯s like what Xiaoyao wang said, a man should get married oning age, and so should a girl. You followed bengong for so long. Even Su Yue had married. If you continue to dy like this, wouldn¡¯t it be wasting your youth?! Just now, didn¡¯t you have great ambition and magnificent aspiration to go find ten handsome men?! Although, bengong can¡¯t fulfil this wish, but bengong still can find you an ideal husband.¡±
¡°Miss, I was just joking. I just want to make him angry!¡±
¡°Since you want to angry him, why the need to joke? Isn¡¯t it better to be direct?! This matter is set! Ao Tian, what do you say about my opinion?¡±
¡°I support Qing Qing¡¯s decision with both hands. Why don¡¯t Xiaoyao wang stay to drink Su Mei¡¯s wedding wine before leaving?! After all, you were old friends...¡±
The cold ¡®old friends¡¯ from Long Ao Tian thoroughly ripped Wanyan Kang and Su Mei¡¯s rtionship apart and divided it cleanly.
A pain he never had before appeared in Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart. Thinking that Su Mei would be someone else¡¯s bride, his heart ached like there was ten million of needles piercing it. No, he didn¡¯t want to see her enter another¡¯s sedan chair!¡±
¡°I changed my mind!¡± Wanyan Kang went forward and held Su Mei in his arms, ¡°I want to marry her! Right away! Immediately!¡±
Wanyan Kang let Su Mei¡¯s tears froze. She didn¡¯t dare to believe her ears. Wanyan Kang wanted to marry her? Was this true?
¡°Good!¡± Although she said ¡®good¡¯, but Feng Qi Qi reached out and pulled Su Mei over.
¡°Since Xiaoyao wang wants to marry Su Mei, you can¡¯t have less than three matchmakers and the sending of the six kinds of bridal gifts! Not anyone can marry bengong¡¯s sister! If Xiaoyao wang doesn¡¯t show sincerity, bengong wouldn¡¯t agree!¡±
Wanyan Kang finally understood that the words he just said to Su Meipletely offended Feng Qi Qi. Now, she was obviously making things difficult for him!
It served him right. Why did he have such a bad mouth?! Howe he had forgotten that Feng Qi Qi was someone who protected her people the most?! Even if Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to let Su Mei be sad and would support them, but she wouldn¡¯t let him get the beauty so easily.
¡°Good!¡± Wanyan Kang nodded, ¡°I will agree on everything cousin inw wants!¡±
¡°Deal! Then, wait till I know how to hold this wedding. I will tell you then! However, from now on, you and Su Mei should not meet anymore. If you see the bride before marriage, it would be unlucky. For your happiness, asking Xiaoyao wang to please endure! Su Yue, send the guest...¡±
After an order, Wanyan Kang had been sent out of Tingsong building like that.
What see the bride before marriage was unlucky? Nn Xin and Su Yue confessed during the day and married at night! This was obviously Feng Qi Qi¡¯s excuse!
¡°Cousin brother, cousin brother, help me, ah! Cousin brother!¡± Now, Wanyan Kang could only ask Long Ao Tian for help. It was just, Feng Qi Qi opened her mouth. This cousin of brother of him was a recognized ¡®henpecked male¡¯. Naturally, he would stand at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side now. Otherwise, he (LAT) would also suffer liability because of Wanyan Kang.
¡°You¡¯re on your own! Wife is very angry. The consequences are very serious!¡±
It wasn¡¯t that Long Ao Tian didn¡¯t want to help Wanyan Kang. In fact, Su Mei was also hot tempered and provoked Wanyan Kang.
However, Feng Qi Qi was anxious to marry Su Mei lest to let Wanyan Kang ran away. This marriage fell through. After all, a girl couldn¡¯t afford to have her time spent. Su Mei was already seventeen or eighteen. So, this time Long Ao Tian stood at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. The wife¡¯s idea, of course, he must understand plus support it!
Inside the room, Su Mei somewhat didn¡¯t have the heart to. She knew that Feng Qi Qi did it for her own good, but seeing Feng Qi Qi make things difficult for Wanyan Kang, she would still feel heartache.
Seeing Su Mei¡¯s expression, Feng Qi Qi sighed, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s hard to keep a woman of age at home, ah! Your feelings are all on your face!¡±
¡°Miss...in fact, wangye is also very pitiful.¡±
How could Feng Qi Qi not know what Su Mei meant. Wanyan Kang was the weirdo of the imperial family. Being born in the imperial family, but he kept a clean heart. This was very rare. Precisely because Wanyan Kang was like this that he was able to be Long Ao Tian and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s friend.
The blow Wanyan Lie brought Wanyan Kang was very great this time. He wanted to leave to drive away cares. Usually, Feng Qi Qi would support it very much, but she wished that Wanyan Kang would leave with Su Mei.
Su Mei followed Feng Qi Qi for so long. Of course, Feng Qi Qi knew what she (SM) was thinking in her heart.
On one hand, Su Mei loved Wanyan Kang deeply and was willing to stay with him and face any difficulties. However, on the other hand, Su Mei also knew that she was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s personal maid. She knew her responsibilities very well. Besides, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant now. She (FQQ) was now in more need of having people to care for her. This was also the reason why Su Mei couldn¡¯t leave at this time.
On one hand was the person she loved deeply. On the other hand, was the affection for Feng Qi Qi. Caught in the middle, Su Mei didn¡¯t know how to choose and was in a very difficult position. Although, she wanted to be with Wanyan Kang, but in the end, she would still choose the stay with Feng Qi Qi. Not for anything else, but the reminder of sir Mozun on his death made was enough to let her unable to put Feng Qi Qi down.
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Benwang: this king, I, used by the prince of first rank
3. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
4. Bengong: this pce, I, used by the females of the imperial family
Chapter 163 (Part 2) Young empress dowager
Chapter 163 (Part 2) Young empress dowager
It was because Feng Qi Qi knew Su Mei¡¯s character that she¡¯d used the situation as a pretext to make a fuss and say such ¡®harsh¡¯ things. She wanted to force Wanyan Kang to understand his heart clearly and she also wanted Su Mei to know what she really wanted.
Now, it seemed that the effect was not that bad! Wanyan Kang finally started to understand some matters. Su Mei also seemed to have understood her heart. This was very great.
¡°Su Mei, although ah Kang looks like a yer, but what kind of person he is, presumably you know it better than anyone. As you said, ah Kang is a pitiful person. Although he was a noble prince, but hecked familial affection from an early age and alsocked warmth.¡±
¡°If you truly love him and also willing to get married to him, then I will certainly support you! However, no matter what happens, don¡¯t let go of his hand. Your and his past are simr. You both are pitiful people. You must feel more tenderness towards each other!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s moving words let Su Mei¡¯s eyes turn red. ¡°I knew that miss wouldn¡¯t separate me and ah Kang! It was just, I hate to part with miss! Miss got the gu now. I¡¯m worried about you!¡±
¡°Silly girl, I still have Su Yue! Besides, Jin Mo and Ming Yue Cheng will also help me. Wangye1 will also take care of me. You don¡¯t need to worry about me!¡± Feng Qi Qi reached out and wiped the tears from Su Mei¡¯s eyes.
¡°Now, it¡¯s the time ah Kang is the saddest. He needs you at his side. At my side, there are many people, but he only has you! Su Mei, get married! After the marriage, leave with ah Kang! He needs time to digest the recent events. He also needs you at his side to give him encouragement and support!¡±
¡°Miss...¡± Feng Qi Qi had considered everything for her, making Su Mei very moved. She jumped into Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms and cried loudly. Su Mei also didn¡¯t know for what these tears were flowing. For her and Wanyan Kang¡¯s love that got a happy ending and also for being touched by Feng Qi Qi¡¯s consideration...
At night, Feng Qi Qiy in the arms of Long Ao Tian. With eyes open, she stroked Long Ao Tian¡¯s hair, ¡°Ao Tian, do you think or method to get them to do as we wish would work?¡±
¡°It will.¡± Long Ao Tian held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand, put it on his lips and kissed it gently. ¡°You used so much effort to match them up. If ah Kang doesn¡¯t cherish it, then wouldn¡¯t it be like letting down your good intentions!¡±
¡°If ah Kang and Su Mei¡¯s matter could be solved smoothly, I will have nothing more to worry about.¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand caresses her own belly. Long Ao Tian¡¯s big hand covered her palm. Both hands were on her t abdomen. ¡°You¡¯re now pregnant and is about to be a mother. You must pay attention to your body. Ming Yue Cheng would return to Nan Feng after two days. After the child is born, we will send him/her to Nan Feng.¡±
¡°Ao Tian, am I too selfish?¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very light. In the silence of the night, it was particrly clear.
¡°If after the child is born, he/her is tortured by the gu and has a painful life, then wouldn¡¯t it be me, the mother¡¯s fault? My child, I naturally wish for him/her to be well. But I obviously knew that he/she has a gu in the body, to maintain my motherhood, I wilfully let him be born. Did I do wrong?¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice was heavy and reveal a strong self-me. This made Long Ao Tian¡¯s heart be in pain, ¡°Qing Qing, talking about selfish, the true selfish person is me, ah! I got the gu for more than ten years, but I still didn¡¯t know what the characteristics of the mother child gu was and still did...with you. Now, I harmed our child. It was all my fault!¡±
Seeing Long Ao Tian rushed to take the responsibility, Feng Qi Qi suddenlyughed. Tears fell out. After theughter, Feng Qi Qi looked gently at Long Ao Tian.
¡°Ao Tian, why don¡¯t we give up on this child?! These two days, I thought about it for a long time. The moment, I thought that he/she would be a subject of intrusion like you by the gu, will feel scared! If such situation really arose, I would rather that he/she didn¡¯t came to this world. Then, he wouldn¡¯t have to suffer like that.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t ruin the child¡¯s happiness because of my selfishness. Like that, I¡¯m an unqualified mother. I wish for our child to be healthy, didn¡¯t have any illnesses and didn¡¯t have worries. I wish for him to be forever happy!¡±
While she said this, Long Ao Tian clearly felt the radiance of motherhood from Feng Qi Qi. Especially when she mentioned the child, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice would be very gentle. Her eyes would also be particrly charming.
Although, Feng Qi Qi was saying to give up on this child, but Feng Qi Qi saw the thick unwillingness from her eyes. Which mother would be willing to abort her child?! Even if he was now only one month old and was just very small life.
It was said, those closely involved can¡¯t see clearly as outsiders. Feng Qi Qi is a doctor, but now, she lost her usual cleverness because of the child. However, these could be understood. While facing problems of others, doctors could find the cause reasonably, but if they encountered problems themselves, especially if it¡¯s rted to their child, they would lose their appropriate behaviour.
¡°Qing Qing, I know you hate to part with the child! In fact, I also am very unwilling. I fantasied many times of how our child would be. Would he be like you and have a pair of eyes that could talk...? However, I didn¡¯t think that the child came so fast and at this time. I¡¯m not a doctor. I can¡¯t make the judgements. Why don¡¯t we consult Jin Mo tomorrow before making a decision?¡±
Long Ao Tian¡¯s words calmed the anxiety in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Indeed, it was very irrational of them to decide here whether to let their child stay or abort. Because of the matter of the child, she had lost her usual intelligence and reasoning. This was probably because she was the involved one! Since it was like that, it¡¯s better to find Jin Mo, the professional.
The next day, Long Ao Tian and Feng Qi Qi invited Jin Mo and Ming Yue Cheng. Jin Mo checked the pulse for Feng Qi Qi carefully. It was a very long time. Jin Mo¡¯s expression was serious. He frowned. People couldn¡¯t see his thoughts, but they would want to know the result even more.
After a long time, Jin Mo released her hand.
¡°Abortion will harm a woman¡¯s body greatly even if in the future, the body was nourished well. If you get pregnant again in a year¡¯s time, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to keep the child. Moreover...¡±
Jin Mo looked at Feng Qi Qi. His expression was very serious, ¡°Junior sister, did you suffer serious damages during your childhood?¡±
¡°Childhood?¡± Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t know if Jin Mo was referring to the time when the owner of this body was punished by Murong Tai, lost her life when she (MQQ) was ten years old and that she (YL) time-travelled and became Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t talk about that she was girl who time-travelled. She just exined simply that she endured twenty beatings and was thrown in the nunnery.
Even though, Long Ao Tian already knew this from the data, but now, hearing it from Feng Qi Qi, he got another kind of feeling. How much did she suffer? How many things had she been through? If it wasn¡¯t because Murong Tai was already dead, Long Ao Tian would¡¯ve brought him over and gave him all the injuries he inflicted on Feng Qi Qi.
¡°I believe that master had told you that your body wasn¡¯t good. That twenty beatings almost took your life. Although,ter you nourished greatly, but the symptoms were treated but not the root of the cause. Your body is thin plus the twenty beatings harmed your body, even if you looked fine now, but the umted weakness from childhood wouldn¡¯t be healed in a short period of time.¡±
Jin Mo said a bunch of winding words making Long Ao Tian anxious, ¡°Say the most important point.¡±
¡°Wangye...,¡± Seeing Long Ao Tian so anxious, Jin Mo shook his head and gave him (LAT) a -don¡¯t be impatient- expression. ¡°My advice is, it¡¯s the best to keep this child! Because the mother¡¯s body isn¡¯t good. If the child is aborted by force, it will cause the mother harm. This child is a blessing, not a cmity!¡±
Jin Mo¡¯sst sentence made Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Jin Mo, do mean to use the gu to nourish the fetus?¡±
¡°Use the gu to nourish the fetus?¡± This sentence was very fresh. It was the first time Jin Mo heard of it, but he could guess that Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s meaning was the same as his (JM) thoughts.
¡°A woman getting pregnant till birth and the postpartum recovery, this was a ¡®shed one¡¯s mortal body and exchange one¡¯s bones¡¯ process. A mother¡¯s body that is not good before pregnancy could adjust the body through pregnancy and make up for their own shorings. Moreover, the body could get the adequate nutritional supplements in the postpartum period. In the end, the health would eventually be restored. However, during the pregnancy, you shouldn¡¯t take too much medicine. After all, all medicine had one-third of poison. So, the best time for an ordinary woman¡¯s health is only the one month after giving birth and the time of breast-feeding.¡±
Shed one¡¯s mortal body and exchange one¡¯s bones: change wholly
Jin Mo talked till here, Ming Yue Cheng picked it up.
¡°Qi Qi is different from the average pregnant women. You could use the pregnancy to adjust your body. Although, there are poison hidden in medicine, but the gu is poisonous itself. By then, we could fight poison with poison. The medicine wouldn¡¯t be good for the growth of the fetus. The poison would be sucked by the gu. By then, not only would it not have any effect of the fetus, but it also would be good for your body.¡±
¡°In the Qiang tribe, there were examples where the gu is used to nourish the fetus. If it wasn¡¯t because Jin Mo mentioned it, I would¡¯ve forgotten it.¡±
The matter that looked very bad originally, now became a good thing. This was beyond Feng Qi Qi and Long Ao Tian¡¯s expectation.
¡°Very good!¡± The hand Long Ao Tian held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s shook a bit, ¡°Qing Qing, it seemed that this child and we are fated! He will bring you blessing. This child is heaven¡¯s gift for us!¡±
Feng Qi Qi was now also very excited. Before, she was a bit nervous and was afraid that Jin Mo would said something like the child shouldn¡¯t be kept. Now, the result was like this. It really was very pleasing.
¡°So great!¡± Feng Qi Qi pulled Long Ao Tian¡¯s hand to her belly. With a face full of happiness, she said, ¡°Ao Tian, our child is kept! Our child is kept!¡±
Others saw Long Ao Tian and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s happiness. They were happy for them from the bottom of their heart. When Ming Yue Cheng saw the happiness of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face, he revealed a bitter smile. It seemed that even the heaven was on their side! After all, he didn¡¯t have fate with her!
After leaving the regent¡¯s residence and returning to the embassy¡¯s house, Ming Yue Cheng was a bit sad. After Fu Er saw his master like that, he quickly went forward, ¡°Your majesty, you¡¯ve returned!¡±
¡°Fu Er, I want to drink!¡±
After seeing Ming Yue Cheng like this, Fu Er knew that he¡¯de back from the regent¡¯s residence. Every time Ming Yue Cheng returned after seeing Feng Qi Qi, he would drink. It seemed that aside from drinking, he didn¡¯t have any other way to vent. Fortunately, Ming Yue Cheng only wanted to drink and he wouldn¡¯t get drunk even if he drank a thousand cups. So, drinking was only a way to unburden himself.
¡°Your majesty, the empress dowager came!¡±
¡°The empress dowager?¡± Ming Yue Cheng raised one eyebrow. A figure in dark blue appeared in front of Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Your majesty is in a good mood! Leaving the minister and citizens of Nan Feng at a side anding to Bei Zhou alone. Aijia2 needs to ask what here is more important than your majesty¡¯s Nan Feng country?!¡±
Standing in front of Ming Yue Cheng was the former empress of Nan Feng, the now empress dowager...Gu Yun Wan.
Although Gu Yun Wan once was Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s emperor father¡¯s empress, but she wasn¡¯t old. She was only about twenty years old. This woman had a pretty oval shaped face. Her pair of eyebrows had a heroic spirit. In her pair of round eyes hid a bit of anger. Because of this aura, the woman looked a bit serious.
In all fairness, this was a woman with personality and she didn¡¯t look ugly. It was just, she deliberately pretended to be calm, and her essories were somewhat old-fashioned, making her lose the vitality of youth. So, she looked a bit old-fashioned and not so cute.
¡°Why did youe?¡± Seeing Gu Yun Wan, Ming Yue Cheng was obviously very surprised.
¡°Naturally, I came to bring you back to attend the morning court!¡± Gu Yun Wan humphed once. She took a seat opposite Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°You threw everything on me. Could it be that you¡¯re not afraid that I, this empress dowager, would usurp the throne?¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s words made Ming Yue Chengugh, ¡°If you wanted to usurp the throne, Nan Feng would¡¯ve long been yours.¡±
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng¡¯sughing face, Gu Yun Wan humphed once again, ¡°That is true! I don¡¯t care for those things!¡±
Gu Yun Wan was from the Qiang tribe. Her father Gu De was the n¡¯s chief. Miao Chu Yun was also from the Qiang tribe. Miao family and Gu family had been friends for many generations. Gu De only had this pearl of his palm. They knew each other from when they were children. It was just, Gu Yun Wan liked to dress as a boy since young and refused to apply make-up. So, the two could be considered ¡®brothers¡¯. Those who don¡¯t know thought that Gu family had a young master and a young mistress. How would they know that the young master was actually the cross-dressing young mistress?!
Pearl of his palm: daughter
Qiang tribe was a big n located at the south of Nan Feng. After the loyal Miao family had been extinguished by Ming Feng Jing, Ming Feng Jing was worried that Gu family would take revenge for Miao family and that the Qiang tribe would revolt. Therefore, after Gu De¡¯s only daughter Gu Yun Wan came of age, he took her into the pce. In name, he made her empress. In fact, he used Gu Yun Wan to control Gu De in order to achieve his purpose of controlling the Qiang tribe.
Later, Gu Yun Wan contacted her childhood ymate Ming Yue Cheng. She constantly leaked the happenings of Nan Feng to the hostage mansion in Xi Qi. She also helped Ming Yue Cheng a lot.
Now, Gu Yun Wan hade to his door and forced him to return and attend the morning court. This made Ming Yue Cheng get a big headache.
Although he¡¯d already determined the day to return, but he was still a bit worried about Feng Qi Qi. Moreover, when Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child is born, he needed to take the child to resolve the gu. If Ming Yue Cheng could, he wished he could stay at Bei Zhou till Feng Qi Qi gives birth. However, this was obviously not possible.
¡°Little Wan, I know you¡¯re the best! Help me! Dy for a month. Say that I¡¯m ill!¡±
¡°Ill?¡± Seeing Ming Yue Cheng look for an excuse once again, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s face sank, ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, it seemed that you want me to block everything for you, ah! If it wasn¡¯t because my dad kept watch, those officials would¡¯ve long rushed into the pce to see if you¡¯re really bedridden!¡±
¡°Did you think that if you hide in Bei Zhou, the event of selecting a consort wouldn¡¯t continue? Recently, those old things almost sent their granddaughters to your dragon bed. What do you want me to do? Every time, I used the identity of empress dowager to oppress the people. Now, the officials are saying that I and you...¡±
Talking till here, Gu Yun Wan suddenly closed her mouth. Her face looked at another side, but her cheeks were fuming. It could be seen that she was very angry.
Ming Yue Cheng could figure with his toes what these ipetent officials would say. It was nothing more than to nder him and Gu Yun Wan and say that they¡¯re ¡®childhood lovers¡¯ and ¡®innocent ymates¡¯.
After Ming Yue Cheng had ascended the throne, he refused to select consorts. Some said that he and Gu Yun Wan, the empress dowager, had an affair. That he was able to be the emperor was because he¡¯d relied on climbing into Gu Yun Wan¡¯s bed. There were too many to count of such ugly words. However, after he killed a group of people that created this gossip, his ears got a lot more peaceful.
¡°Are these people searching for death again?¡± Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes narrowed. The coldness on his body burst. ¡°It seemed that I wasn¡¯t iron-fisted enough. So, I wasn¡¯t enough to deter those people.¡±
Gu Yun Wan sighed upon seeing Ming Yue Cheng act like this.
¡°I say, Ming Yue Cheng, you can¡¯t make me block every time something arises. That¡¯s right! Our rtionship is indeed very close, but you couldn¡¯t cause cmity to a friend like this, ah! Now, those words are so ugly to hear. You¡¯re thick-skinned and is used to being a yer, but I¡¯m still a maiden. I still need to marry in the future!¡±
¡°Cough, cough!¡± Gu Yun Wan¡¯s words make Fu Er, who was at a side, choke on his saliva.
¡°Fu Er, what are you coughing for? Did I say wrong?! Which bastard promised me that he would make a fake death for me, give me freedom and let me leave the pce? In the end, this bastard patted his butt and left and threw Nan Feng over to me. You be the judge, isn¡¯t he bullying me?!¡±
¡°Empress dowager, this ve doesn¡¯t know. This ve is stupid.¡±
Fu Er wasn¡¯t a fool. At one side was the empress dowager. At the other side was his master. It wouldn¡¯t be good if he talked bad of either one. He could only pinch his nose, make his eyes red and pretend that he didn¡¯t understood.
¡°Fu Er, you also learned to be cunning! Like him!¡±
Gu Yun Wan had her hands on her hips and stood in front of Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°Say! When are you returning? I¡¯ve long wanted to leave the pce and break away from the current identity. You must do what you promised me, otherwise I will hate you my whole life!¡±
1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
2. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
Chapter 164 (Part 1) Misha Lian Sheng
Chapter 164 (Part 1) Misha Lian Sheng
¡°Little Wan, I have something to do now. I really can¡¯t leave!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng had his own difficulties. Even if he had to leave, he had to wait till Murong Qi Qi¡¯s fetus was stable! Although Jin Mo¡¯s medical skill was excellent, but after all, he isn¡¯t someone from the Qiang tribe. He (JM) didn¡¯t know as much about the gu poison as him (MYC). The first three months of the pregnancy are the most vulnerable. With him at one side, it would be much better.
¡°Give me a reason!¡± Gu Yun Wan moved closer to Ming Yue Cheng. She stared into his eyes to see if he was lying or not and if he was ying tricks again.
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ck eyes were like two deep pools. Gu Yun Wan stared into his eyes for a while. Suddenly, she had a feeling that she was being sucked inside them. Gu Yun Wan quickly shook her head and backed to one side.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Gu Yun Wan¡¯s odd expression, Ming Yue Cheng was curious and got a bit closer to her, ¡°Is there something on my face?¡±
¡°Nothing!¡± Gu Yun Wan stabilized herself and nced once at Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°I¡¯m just a bit unustomed! In the past, you were the same height as me. After not seeing each other for ten years, you¡¯ve gotten much taller than me. So, I don¡¯t concede much! Also, your eyes are different from before!¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s childlike words made Ming Yue Chengugh loudly. His mood also got a lot better. Facing the ¡®buddy¡¯ of his childhood, Ming Yue Cheng rxed his body and leanedzily on the back of his chair, ¡°I¡¯m a man. Naturally, I should be taller than a woman!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words stabbed Gu Yun Wan. What she hated the most her whole life was the fact that she¡¯s a girl. She wished with her whole heart to be a man of indomitable spirit, but she happened to get a woman¡¯s body. So, she always felt very regrettable. Now, Ming Yue Cheng was making her ¡®angry¡¯ on purpose, how could Gu Yun Wan not be annoyed?
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, listen well, roll back to Nan Feng now! Immediately! Right now!¡±
¡°No, no, no!¡± Seeing that Gu Yun Wan had gotten angry, Ming Yue Cheng quickly coaxed herughingly, ¡°Little Wan, I was just joking. You¡¯re not so narrow-minded, right?! In my heart, Little Wan had always been magnanimous and is someone who will let knifes pierce both sides!¡±
Knifes piercing both sides: attack a great importance to friendship, up to the point of being able to sacrifice oneself for it.
¡°Pah!¡±
This time, Gu Yun didn¡¯t fall for this, ¡°I let knifes pierce both sides for you; what did it result in?! You directly inserted two knifes in me! Whatever, I don¡¯t care anymore! That is your country. You take care of it. I don¡¯t want to always clean up your mess! When we were young, you made a mistake, my dad also would beat me. I¡¯ve had enough of you! You¡¯re a bastard!¡±
Gu Yun Wan cursed a lot in one breath. Ming Yue Cheng personally poured tea and put it in front of her, ¡°Come, moisten your throat. Drink some tea and then continue to scold!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words made Gu Yun Wan angrier. She held the cup. A cup of tea poured on Ming Yue Cheng.
¡®Hua...,¡¯ they were pretty close to each other. Gu Yun Wan could hear the sshing sound of the tea on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s face. Originally, she thought that Ming Yue Cheng would dodge. She didn¡¯t expect him to stand. The tea sshed directly onto his face.
Now, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s whole face was covered in tea. Especially on the eyebrows were all drops of tea. He looked like he had been pulled up from water. It was very funny.
¡°Hahaha!¡± Gu Yun Wan¡¯s bad mood vanished because of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s miserable look.
Gu Yun Wan held her stomach andughed while she squatted on the ground. The only flower on her head also shook with her, ¡°Aiyaya, finally I seeded for once! In the past, you dodged so fast! Now, you¡¯ve gotten taller, but your reaction rate has actually slowed down. Hahaha, so funny!¡±
After making Gu Yun Wanugh, Ming Yue Cheng reached out and wiped the tea from his face. Fortunately, this littless under his coaxing and pestering helped him take care of the country for so long. Now, she had run away. He believed that Nan Feng was relying on her father Gu De. So, no matter what, he should make her happy.
When Gu Yun Wan was small, she had two deep dimples. Because of excitement, the blood surged to her face, making her face red. She looked livelier than before and seemed a lot more quick-witted.
Because Gu Yun Wan was in a squatted position, Ming Yue Cheng saw the shaking pearl hairpin on her head. It was a relic of his empress mother. Before he left Nan Feng to go to Xi Qi as a hostage, Gu Yun Wan hade to visit him. Ming Yue Cheng gave this hairpin to Gu Yun Wan and asked her to help him keep it. He didn¡¯t expect that she still wore it.
¡°This pearl hairpin...¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was staring at the hairpin on her head. Gu Yun Wan quickly stood up. She took out the hairpin and hid it in her arms, ¡°What?! You gave it to me. Could it be that you want to take it back?! I worked like an ox and horse for you for so long, you can¡¯t even bear to miss a pearl hairpin? I never saw someone as stingy as you!¡±
Because of theughter, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s face was stained with a touch of rouge. Now, she put on a petty appearance for fear that Ming Yue Cheng would take back the pearl hairpin. Now, she added a lot taste of a young girl.
¡°I gave it you! Don¡¯t worry!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Hearing Ming Yue Cheng say that, Gu Yun Wan took out the pearl hairpin and inserted it in her hair, ¡°I knew it. We are good brothers. How would you be stingy...?¡±
She spoke only half the sentence when she looked up. She looked thoughtfully at Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°This isn¡¯t right! You wouldn¡¯t be so kind to give me the hairpin! Ming Yue Cheng, it isn¡¯t that you want to use the pearl hairpin to bribe me, let me continue to help you take care of Nan Feng and let you roam everywhere freely, right?!¡±
After hearing Gu Yun Wan, Ming Yue Chengughed bitterly, ¡°Little Wan, is my character so bad in your heart?¡±
¡°No...,¡± Gu Yun Wan shook her head. She made a ¡®tsk, tsk¡¯ sound. ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, you simply have no moral qualities!¡±
¡°Cough, cough...,¡± Fu Er choked. This empress dowager was really merciless with words, but now, only Gu Yun Wan would be so impudent with Ming Yue Cheng and also call him by his name.
It wasn¡¯t bad that someone in a high position to have such a friend, Fu Er thought.
¡°Little Wan, you hurt my self-esteem so much.¡±
¡°Give me a break! You have a face that deceives people. You will be able to coax a little girl, but it won¡¯t work on me! What am I? I grew up with you. I¡¯ve seen you wear open pants and with a snotty face. How would I not know you well?! Say, what do you want from me again?!¡±
Gu Yun Wan sat gracefully on the chair. Just looking at her straight spine and dignified expression, you would think that this was a nobledy and that she was big-hearted. However, at this time, her legs were crossed. Her toes were moving slightly. She looked the same as those bullying rogues on the street.
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng looked at her sitting position, Gu Yun Wan red at him, ¡°What are you looking at? Have you never seen it?!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve seen it! I¡¯ve seen it! I didn¡¯t think that you would still be like this...real temperament!¡± Ming Yue Cheng really couldn¡¯t find any words to describe Gu Yun Wan. He could only praise her with ¡®real temperament¡¯.
¡°Of course!¡± Gu Yun Wan waved with her hands, ¡°Say, what do you want me to do again. Don¡¯t change the topic.¡±
¡°Little Wan, I want you to help me save someone!¡±
Gu De was Qiang tribe¡¯s chief. He¡¯s a top master at using gu. Gu Yun Wan waas the chief¡¯s miss, she had grown up with gu. What she yed with had also been gu.
In the past, when she was taken into the pce by Ming Feng Jing; although this old emperor wanted to eat tender grass and overwhelm Gu Yun Wan, but he was afraid of gu. So, until his death, Gu Yun Wan was still a virgin. Now, Murong Qi Qi had encountered such a situation. To solve the problem, it was best to ask Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Male or female?¡± Gu Yun Wan poured tea, blew the tea leaves on the water and drank.
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±
A ¡®don¡¯t know¡¯ made the tea in Gu Yun Wan¡¯s mouth choke in the windpipe. She coughed tea out from her nose and mouth. How sorry her figure could be, was how sorry her figure was. ¡°Cough, cough, cough! Ming Yue Cheng...cough, cough.... bastard! You did it on purpose, isn¡¯t it?!¡±
¡°Little Wan, I really don¡¯t know!¡± Ming Yue Cheng was extremely innocent. He wasn¡¯t god. How could he know if Murong Qi Qi was pregnant with a boy or a girl?! The child was still so small. It was impossible to know the gender now.
Only after coughing for a long time did Gu Yun Wan¡¯s breath go back to normal. Gu Yun Wan also wanted to know the meaning behind Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words. Her pair of eyes stared at Ming Yue Cheng. Her eyes were full of yfulness, ¡°Tell me honestly. What kind of bad things did you do?!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not me...¡±
Ming Yue Cheng told Gu Yun Wan truthfully about Murong Qi Qi¡¯s situation. When she heard about the sick deeds of Wanyan Lie, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s palm hit the table, ¡°There¡¯s such a person? He harmed the other party¡¯s whole family and they still left him alive? It was really too easy on him! If it was me, I will ¡®kacha¡¯ kill him! Then, what happened after?¡±
¡°After...,¡± Ming Yue Cheng circled around Murong Qi Qi.
After listening to the whole thing, Gu Yun Wan touched her chin. She looked ¡®with evil intentions¡¯ at Ming Yue Cheng. Her eyes looked very strange. ¡°I say, Ming Yue Cheng, that child isn¡¯t yours, right?! Otherwise, why would you be so worried?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t say such nonsense!¡± He was misunderstood by Gu Yun Wan. It was rted to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s reputation, Ming Yue Cheng quickly waved his hand, ¡°Not my child.¡±
¡°Not your child, then what does it have to do with me?¡±
Gu Yun Wan leaned back on the chair and understood Ming Yue Cheng¡¯szy look, ¡°You¡¯re well aware. The gu put by our Qiang tribe¡¯s people wouldn¡¯t easily be gotten rid of. Moreover, we wouldn¡¯t get rid of it for outsiders.¡±
¡°To get rid of the gu, one must mount the knife mountain and pass the fire sea. One also has to enter the dragon pond to seek the millennium sturgeon. You should know, none of those who entered came back alive...¡±
¡°Of course, if it¡¯s your child, I can persuade my father a bit to see if he could be lenient. After all, you also have half of Qiang tribe¡¯s blood. You could be considered one of us.¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s words made Ming Yue Chengugh bitterly. He knew all this. So, he didn¡¯t tell Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. He was afraid that they would be worried.
¡°I wish that child was mine, but...I didn¡¯t have that blessing.¡±
It was the first time Gu Yun Wan saw Ming Yue Cheng like this. All the grief was in this man¡¯s eyes. Although he tried hard to show an appearance that nothing was the matter, but his eyes still betrayed his heart.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng...¡±
Gu Yun Wan didn¡¯t know how tofort Ming Yue Cheng. His expression wasn¡¯t much better than when his empress mother had died a tragic death. It seemed that the woman called Murong Qi Qi must be someone he loved deeply.
Don¡¯t know why, but when she saw Ming Yue Cheng so sad, her heart panicked more. She also became sad, ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, don¡¯t be like this! There are still many good women in this world. You were destined to meet but not fated to be together!¡±
¡°Destined to meet but not fated to be together?¡± This sentence made Ming Yue Chengugh once even more bitterly, ¡°Little Wan, you said it the best! Destined to meet but not fated to be together? Destined to meet but not fated to be together! It¡¯s indeed like this, ah!¡±
Since he couldn¡¯t get her, why the need to meet? Why give him something to wish for?
¡°Ai!¡± Gu Yun went next to Ming Yue Cheng. She reached out and pulled herself up with the help of Ming Yue Cheng, who was much taller than her. ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, I really can¡¯t get used to you being so mncholic! Since the beauty has already be someone else¡¯s wife, you should bless them! If you rob her from the one she loves and destroy her family, I will look down on you!¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s serious look made Ming Yue Cheng exhale a breath, ¡°Little Wan, I know. I¡¯ve let go, but seeing her hesitate and be sad because of her child being tortured by the gu made my heart ache a lot. Little Wan, what can I do to not let my heart ache anymore?!¡±
When she faced Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes again, Gu Yun Wan was dazzled. The next moment, Gu Yun Wan was shocked. Her fistnded on Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°Bastard, you yed tricks on me! You talking in circles for half a day was nothing more than wanting to let me go beg father to save this child! You also came up with a sad look, causing me to almost fall for it!¡±
Gu Yun Wan took a step back. Her round eyes were full of dissatisfaction at being used by someone. Thinking about the deep pool of love she saw from Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes just now and it was as if it had the power to absorb one¡¯s soul, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s heart jumped badly. Her cheeks also got warm.
Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t exin at being misunderstood by Gu Yun Wan. Instead, he continued to ask her for help, but unexpectedly he was rejected by Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, the Qiang tribe has the Qiang tribe¡¯s rules. Even if my father is the chief, he can¡¯t break the rule for an outsider. Being in a high position, he should maintain the system set down by the ancestors even more. This isn¡¯t aimed specifically at someone!¡±
¡°To save this child, let his parentse personally to the Qiang tribe. Mount the mountain of knifes, go under the sea of fire and enter the dragon pool; after they pass these three barriers, my father will naturally get rid of the gu for the child. If they can¡¯t pass, then don¡¯t me us for being ruthless. The rules are like this. They can¡¯t be broken by outsiders.¡±
Although he had a close rtionship with Gu Yun Wan, but Ming Yue Cheng also knew Qiang tribe¡¯s rules. It wasn¡¯t that Gu Yun Wan intentionally created difficulties for him, but the facts were like this.
¡°The child¡¯s father¡¯s body isn¡¯t good. Can I do these in his stead?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words let Gu Yun Wan thoroughly frown, ¡°Are you crazy?! Even if you can pass the first two barriers, could it be that you don¡¯t know what kind of ce the dragon pool is?!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not crazy. I don¡¯t want the child to not have a father.¡±
¡°You...,¡± Gu Yun Wan¡¯s finger pointed at Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s nose and shook twice. She humphed once and retrieved her hand. She turned her face at a side, ¡°Can¡¯t! There¡¯s no negotiation!¡±
¡°Little Wan...¡±
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, listen well! Your heart is overflowing with sympathy. That is your matter. It doesn¡¯t have anything to do with me! This is an issue of principles. Even if you look for my father, my father would also not agree!¡±
Gu Yun Wan was very angry. Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯t the child¡¯s biological father. Why did he have to behave more biologically than the biological father, ah?! He wanted to go into the dragon pool in the biological father¡¯s stead? Going down would be a person. Coming up would be bones! This person¡¯s brain is certainly crazy!
¡°I don¡¯t care. You quickly return! My father is old. You can¡¯t rely on me and my father for everything. It¡¯s you who is the emperor. That is your responsibility, not my father¡¯s!¡±
What Gu Yun Wan said was not feasible in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s mind. He had to wait until the fetus was stable before leaving. Because Murong Qi Qi had been ignored by her family when she was young, she had poor health. The first three months of the pregnancy was when idents happened easily. He couldn¡¯t leave.
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression of a yer became stubborn. Gu Yun Wan, who was familiar with him, knew that he had his mind set. What kind of divine god was this Murong Qi Qi? To be able to charm Ming Yue Cheng like this? A small question mark appeared in Gu Yun Wan¡¯s heart.
No, she had to go meet this Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo! To see what kind of ¡®demoness¡¯ she is to be able to let Ming Yue Cheng go down the dragon pool for her child!
Chapter 164 (part 2) Misha Lian Sheng
Chapter 164 (part 2) Misha Lian Sheng
Recently, Xiaoyao wang¡¯s1 wangfu2 was full ofnterns. Everyone was busy preparing for Wanyan Kang¡¯s wedding.
Ever since the wedding was set, Murong Qi Qi had hidden Su Mei and didn¡¯t let Wanyan Kang see her. Every time Wanyan Kang went to the regent¡¯s residence, he was driven out by Murong Qi Qi. Every time, she would say that his character was not good. If she faces Wanyan Kang for a long time, it would affect the child in her belly.
Murong Qi Qi used the excuse that everything was for the well-being of the baby. Feng Cang also stood at his beloved wife¡¯s side. Although he obviously knew that Murong Qi Qi was making things difficult for Wanyan Kang, Feng Cang was still biased towards Murong Qi Qi and supported her. You had to know, brothers are like hands and feet, beloved wife is like clothes. Clothing could keep one warm. This feature was far beyond brothers.
The expression- brothers are like hands and feet and wives are like clothes- was usually used to describe that brothers are indispensable, and women could be changed like clothes, meaning friends/family are more important than lovers. Only FC would change it to clothes could keep warm which means that MQQ is more important than WK.
¡°Cousin brother, you pamper cousin-inw too much!¡±
Inside the study, Wanyan Kang put on a miserable look and looked with resentment and indignation at Feng Cang.
Every day in the past, he had noisily yed with Su Mei. He¡¯d never experienced the pain of being separated. Now, it was great (sarcasm). For a few days, let alone see Su Mei, he couldn¡¯t even hear Su Mei¡¯s voice. To Wanyan Kang, this was definitely a type of torment and torture.
In the morning, he¡¯d originally intended to break into Tingsong building, but he didn¡¯t expect that that pair of brother and sister, Ruyi and Jixiang, would be guarding Tingsong building. They had a unanimous -against outsiders- expression, making him feel very cold.
Fight one, he would only be up to the fight. Fight two, moreover, it was this pair of twins, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do it.
In the end, Wanyan Kang could only suck it in and came gleaming with tears to beg Feng Cang. He didn¡¯t expect that the moment he opened his mouth, Feng Cang would put Murong Qi Qi out and say things like, ¡°Qing Qing said the prenatal influence is very important. You being like this, will affect the baby¡¯s mental health¡±, making Wanyan Kang wish he could turn over Feng Cang¡¯s table if he had the guts.
¡°Of course, my woman is to be loved and to be pampered.¡±
¡°Cousin brother, do you have humanity?! You and cousin-inw are lovey dovey every day. I and little Mei er3 can¡¯t even see each other. Do you want us to be together or are you trying to break us up, ah?!¡± Wanyan Kang pretended to be sad, but he had used this move many times before. Feng Cang would no longer be moved by him.
¡°It¡¯s better if you just act well-behaved for the wedding! When it¡¯s the wedding night, you can see Su Mei. Previously, didn¡¯t a certain someone want to wander the horizon?! If you can¡¯t stand it, then you can go y for three or five years and thene back, ah!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s light tone had a hint of teasing, making Wanyan Kang¡¯s face be red, ¡°Cousin brother, don¡¯t make fun of me! Look at cousin-inw, it¡¯s better that I marry little Mei er before going. Even if I go, I will take her with me! Lest cousin-inw seduce her away from me when I¡¯m not here!¡±
Without being able to find a breakthrough from Feng Cang, Wanyan Kang could only return to Xiaoyao wangfu in dismay.
Shortly after Wanyan Kang had left, Murong Qi Qi entered the study. ¡°Did ah Kange to bother you again?¡±
¡°Slow down, slow down!¡± Ever since Murong Qi Qi got pregnant, Feng Cang was even more nervous than her. The moment he saw Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang immediately put down the documents and walked quickly to Murong Qi Qi. He escorted her cautiously, ¡°Be careful!¡±
Feng Cang being like this prompted Su Yue, who was behind Murong Qi Qi, tough, ¡°Guye4 really loves miss!¡±
¡°Come,e,e, be careful!¡±
After Murong Qi Qi sat down, Feng Cang let out a sigh of relief. He was so nervous, making Murong Qi Qi shook her headughingly, ¡°I¡¯m pregnant, but you¡¯re more nervous than me. Then, when it¡¯s time for the birth and the baby hasn¡¯t been born yet, will you faint first?¡±
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s teasing made Feng Cang blush. This was the first time that he would be a father. He didn¡¯t know what would happen and since Murong Qi Qi had the gu, so naturally, he was even more nervous.
¡°In fact, you don¡¯t need to be so nervous. Let nature take its course. You being this nervous will also make me afraid. It won¡¯t be good if it affects the baby by chance!¡±
Although the words were said like that, but the worry in Feng Cang was unable to be eliminated even a little bit. Not to mention that he thought Murong Qi Qi wasforting him on purpose. So, he intended to go ask Jin Mo how to be an expectant father.
The one who came with Su Yue was her husband Nn Xin. These two had long loved the affection between Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. Seeing his master treat his beloved wife like this, Nn Xin nced once at Su Yue¡¯s belly. It seemed that he needed to work harder to let a little babye out earlier!
¡°Guye, miss, we have some progress on who attacked Bai Yi Yue before.¡±
At this moment, Su Yue put the information she¡¯d found in front of Feng Cang and also told him the result of the investigation, ¡°The prints left behind the tree should be from the wheels of a wheelchair. There are only few people in Yan capital who use a wheelchair. The most suspicious person is the one, who¡¯de not long ago from Peni Ind and who¡¯d also saved Murong Qing Lian, called Misha.¡±
¡°From the observation of our people, Misha and Jia Lan are living in a house at the east.¡±
Su Yue pointed at the map of the capital. Red sand marked the specific location, ¡°The maid at Misha¡¯s side is called Xia Xue. The guard at Jia Lan¡¯s side is called Jin Yu. Aside from the four of them, in the house, there are a cook and two servants.¡±
¡°Some time ago, Xia Xue looked for Moyu and Fo Sheng Men. She wanted to hear from us about Bai Yi Yue. However, she was rejected by us. Recently, Xia Xue spent heavily for Su Mei¡¯s information. However, we hid it intentionally. So, she didn¡¯t find much useful information.¡±
The information from Nn Xin interested Murong Qi Qi, ¡°Xia Xue is Misha¡¯s people. Naturally, she did that because Misha asked. However, why did Misha look for Bai Yi Yue and Su Mei?¡±
¡°This, we don¡¯t know,¡± Nn Xin shook his head. ¡°Misha is the great disciple of Peni Ind. Peni Ind has always been a mysterious existence. So, we have no way of knowing about him.¡±
Talking till here, Su Yue thought of one thing, ¡°Miss, our people found a female corpse at the outskirts ten days ago. It had been determined that the person is Murong Qing Lian. She had been killed and it was by one stroke. When Murong Qing Lian died, she was two months pregnant. At her side were ten naked men. They¡¯d also died with one stroke. The way they were killed was fast. The wound was small but fatal.¡±
After Su Yue said that, Nn Xin frowned, ¡°I saw the corpses at Jingting mountain. They¡¯d also died with one stroke. The weapon is a thin sword. The murderer was fast and the wound was very subtle...¡±
¡°So, these two matters may have be done by the same person. Whether it was Murong Qing Lian¡¯s or Jingting mountain¡¯s matter, were they done by the same person?¡± Murong Qi Qi nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Misha sat in a wheelchair. Even if he wanted to kill someone, it wouldn¡¯t be so neatly done. A thin sword is suitable for women. Reasoning like this, the one who did it should be Xia Xue!¡±
Everyone agreed on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s analysis. Why did Xia Xue kill Murong Qing Lian? Also, why did she find people to attack Bai Yi Yue?
¡°I remember, when Misha took Murong Qing Lian away in the hall, his demeanor was very gentle. He also once called her ¡®little sister¡¯. Why did he kill Murong Qing Lian in a blink of an eye?¡± Feng Cang recalled the first time he had seen that innocent handsome boy. That person¡¯s smile was so clean and could bepared to Murong Qi Qi¡¯s.
¡°Murong Qing Lian, Bai Yi Yue, Su Mei...,¡± Su Yue bit her lips. She tried hard to find themon ground of these three people. She thought for a long time, but didn¡¯t find any rtion between them.
Suddenly, Feng Cang stood up. His expression was serious as never before, ¡°I know what is themon ground of these three people.¡±
¡°Wangye, what is it?¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he looked at Murong Qi Qi. After a short silence, he said the answer, ¡°Qing Qing, including you, all four of you participated in the tournament of the four countries.¡±
After Feng Cang said that, a light shed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brain. She always felt that there was something strange at the tournament of the four countries. However, she¡¯d thought for a long while, but she didn¡¯t find the problem. Now that Feng Cang had said this, she suddenly remembered the seven-floor pagoda.
A distant memory seemed to have been turned on. Why did she feel that the seven-floor pagoda was strange? Could it be that because the tests of the seven-floor pagoda were simr to the training of her previous life? Who is Misha? He killed Murong Qing Lian, attacked Bai Yi Yue and was now inquiring about Su Mei. Then, would she be the next?
Previously, Jia Lan had said that he was the one who made the tests, but now, it seemed that Misha was likely the one who¡¯d made the tests of the seven-floor pagoda. If it really was Misha, then who is Misha? Could it be him? Adoptive father had created such a training program specifically for the two of them. Why did it appear at the seven-floor pagoda? Could it be that he¡¯d also time-travelled...?
Murong Qi Qi was exceptionally quiet. So quiet that it was somewhat frightening. At this time, her expression was very grave. An uneasiness appeared in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart. The once asleep intuition of before burst out. Recalling the cold muzzle of the gun that was against her in the past life, Murong Qi Qi shivered.
What had happened? Why did Murong Qi Qi have such an expression? When he saw Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, a pain appeared in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. Such a Murong Qi Qi was so vulnerable that it made other people¡¯s heart ache.
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang held Murong qi Qi¡¯s hand. He wanted to warm her up. ¡°Qing Qing, what happened?¡±
¡°Cang...,¡± Murong Qi Qi raised her head. The desteness in her eyes startled Feng Cang. He immediately reached out and pulled Murong Qi Qi in his embrace. ¡°What happened, Qing Qing? Tell me what happened. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m at your side!¡±
¡°Cang!¡± Murong Qi Qi hugged Feng Cang tightly. Her body shivered slightly. ¡°He hase! He certainly hase!¡±
Even if the information was not yetplete, but the uneasiness in Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart gradually expanded. When Misha took Murong Qing Lian away, he called her ¡®little sister¡¯. Could this not exin the problem? If it is really Lian Sheng who hade, then what should she do?
Murong Qi Qi¡¯s brain was in chaos. All the memories of the previous life opened at this time. Adoptive father had died at Lian Sheng¡¯s hand. She¡¯d also died at Lian Sheng¡¯s hands. If Misha really was Lian Sheng, she must take revenge for adoptive father! Must!
Murong Qi Qi being like this made Su Yue and Nn Xin very worried. Su Yue didn¡¯t know what ¡®he came¡¯ meant. She wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Nn Xin.
¡°Let¡¯s go out!¡± Nn Xin pointed at Murong Qi Qi who was hugging Feng Cang tightly. He gestured at Su Yue. This time belonged to the young couple. It¡¯s better if others didn¡¯t disturb them.
Su Yue obediently followed Nn Xin and left the study. Now, inside the study, only Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang were left.
Looking at the two rows of tears on Murong Qi Qi¡¯s face, Feng Cang didn¡¯t know what Murong Qi Qi was afraid of. He reached out and held her small face. His fingers gently wiped Murong Qi Qi¡¯s tears, ¡°Qing Qing, what happened? Who is the ¡®he¡¯ you talked about?¡±
¡°He killed adoptive father. Killed me!¡± Murong Qi Qi¡¯s chest was very stuffy. She panted. That person, the one she had been regarding as her elder brother; she didn¡¯t expect that he would kill her beloved adoptive father. In the end, he had also hurt her severely! She will not forgive him! She will not...
¡°He¡¯s a demon. He¡¯s a devil!¡± Don¡¯t know if it was because she was too emotional or what, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s breath didn¡¯t catch up with her. She fainted.
That Murong Qi Qi fainted made Feng Cang lose his self-control, ¡°Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang roared. He held Murong Qi Qi¡¯s soft body and rushed out of the study like the wind. ¡°People! Quickly call Jin Mo over! Quickly go call Jin Mo!¡±
When Jin Mo arrived at Tingsong building, he was dragged inside by Feng Cang, ¡°Jin Mo, quickly look. How is she? Why is she like this?!¡±
He didn¡¯t have the time to bother with the pain from Feng Cang¡¯s grip. Jin Mo checked Murong Qi Qi¡¯s pulse, ¡°Wangye, keep calm, don¡¯t get excited. Princess only got too stirred up. That was why she had fainted temporarily. There are no serious problems with her body.¡±
Jin Mo said that Murong Qi Qi was fine. But Feng Cang was still a bit worried, ¡°Was really nothing affected?¡±
¡°Princess is fine. She only needs some rest. However, now, princess is pregnant, and coupled with the fact that her body is weak, naturally she couldn¡¯t bepared with those healthy pregnant women. Asking wangye to please pay more attention!¡±
¡°I know.¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t expect that such a thing would happen. Murong Qi Qi¡¯s final stirred-up look constantly reyed in his mind. Is the ¡®he¡¯ Murong Qi Qi talked about Misha? When did she get to know Misha?
¡°Nn Xin, send people to observe Misha¡¯s every move! In addition, don¡¯t let Su Mei out of the wangfu. Send a letter to miss Bai. Let her also be careful and pay attention to her safety.¡±
A person that made Murong Qi Qi guard herself against, naturally isn¡¯t someone ordinary. Misha, Misha...Feng Cang severely carved this name in his heart. You hurt my beloved wife, I will take your life!
Murong Qi Qi slowly woke up. It was already in the middle the night. When she slowly opened her eyes, Feng Cang looked at her with a worried look. His handsome brow was now frowning. Murong Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch Feng Cang¡¯s face, ¡°Don¡¯t frown. Frowning is not handsome! It will affect your image!¡±
Seeing that there was really nothing serious with Murong Qi Qi like Jin Mo said, the stone pressing in Feng Cang¡¯s heart was finally released, ¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s alright that you¡¯re fine! It¡¯s alright that you¡¯re fine!¡±
There was a time when Murong Qi Qi was asleep which made Feng Cang feel very worried. He was terrified that she would be in a deep sleep and wouldn¡¯t wake up like Wanyan Ming Yue. However, he was afraid to wake her up; afraid that he would disturb her rest. It wouldn¡¯t be good for her and the child. So, while Murong Qi Qi was asleep, Feng Cang sat at her bedside and didn¡¯t dare to leave. He wanted to be the first person she saw when she woke up.
That pair of long and devilish beautiful eyes of Feng Cang was full of concern at this time. Murong Qi Qi knew that just now, she must¡¯ve really frightened this man. ¡°I¡¯m fine. The baby is also very fine!¡±
Hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, Feng Cang let out a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and gently kissed Murong Qi Qi¡¯s forehead, ¡°Qing Qing, you must be hungry. I will feed you!¡±
Feng Cang let people bring the meal that had long been warming at a side. He helped Murong Qi Qi up and personally fed her. After her nap, Murong Qi Qi was very hungry. She ate a lot in one go.
Throughout the whole meal, Feng Cang didn¡¯t mention Misha for fear that he would stir up Murong Qi Qi. Only when they took a walk after the meal did Murong Qi Qi take the initiative to speak.
¡°Cang, do you want to know who Misha is?¡± Murong Qi Qi leaned against Feng Cang¡¯s shoulder. The peace of mind this man gave her couldn¡¯t be matched by anyone. At this time, leaning against him and recalling the past, Murong Qi Qi¡¯s heart was a lot more settled.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t think about him! Since he makes you unhappy, then we¡¯ll kill him!¡± Feng Cang narrowed his eyes. His voice was gentle, but the murderous intent in his eyes got more intense. He had never wanted to kill someone so much! Even if there was Peni Ind behind Misha, what about it?! He¡¯d offended his woman. There¡¯s only death for him!
¡°If Misha is really the person I¡¯m talking about, then he indeed deserves to die! Even dying one hundred, one thousand times wouldn¡¯t be enough!¡±
It had been so many years, but whenever she thought about how adoptive father had died at Lian Sheng¡¯s hand, Murong Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t be able to forgive. That was the person who¡¯d taken them to his house and gave them a home. Moreover, he gave them a warm and kind-hearted elder. He was the person Murong Qi Qi had respected the most.
She could not bothered about the grudge between her and Lian Sheng, but Lian Sheng had killed adoptive father. She will not forgive this!
¡°But before you get rid of him, I should tell you about the real me!¡±
Murong Qi Qi had never told anyone about her real identity. Originally, she intended to conceal it forever like this and live with her current identity. She had a man she loved. In the future, she would have a bunch of cute children. She would always live happily ever after.
However, now, an unexpected matter such as Misha appeared. This let Murong Qi Qi feel that she needed to let Feng Cang know the real her.
¡°Feng Cang, perhaps the things I¡¯m about to say will be unimaginable to you, but I swear, every word I say is the truth. You must believe me.¡±

Before she introduced herself, Feng Qi Qi said those words very seriously. Because he was ustomed to hearing her call him ¡®Cang¡¯, after hearing her now say his full name, Feng Cang was a bit surprised. However, from this, he could see Feng Qi Qi¡¯s seriousness.
¡°I will believe everything you say.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words sounded like a promise, which made Feng Qi Qi smile. The mole between her eyebrows became instantly red like blood.
How fortunate she was to be born again and meet Feng Cang...?
¡°I¡¯m not someone of your time and I¡¯m also not the real Feng Qi Qi. My name used to be Yi Lian. I came from the twenty-first century.¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice was very gentle. Her soft hand was ced on Feng Cang¡¯s palm. In the spring, the white flowers bloomed in wangfu.1 The sun was already halfway down the hill. The orange glow spread evenly on Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. From afar, they looked like a pair of immortals.
Feng Qi Qi began to tell everything, from when she was five years old and taken back to adoptive father¡¯s house. She spoke for a full two hours. After she finished her story, Feng Q Qi discovered that the sky had already be dark. Her body was covered with Feng Cang¡¯s coat.
¡°You are saying that there is an era with rapid technological development? In another space and time? There, people can go into the sky and can go down the sea? The power of the car is not a horse but gasoline?¡±
Feng Cang couldn¡¯t imagine how the world Feng Qi Qi talked about was. Those words assembled into a picture in his mind, but no matter how he looked at it, he found it weird.
¡°That ce is too mystical!¡±
¡°Haha...,¡± Feng Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. ¡°If I could, I want to take you to the ce where I grew up! I¡¯ve lived there for more than twenty years. I really like it there!¡±
Feng Qi Qi said that she liked the previous world. This made Feng Cang¡¯s hand tighten. He firmly held Feng Qi Qi. He was afraid that during a moment of carelessness, she would return to the previous world.
Seeing Feng Cang act so carefully, Feng Qi Qi sighed. Could it be that she looked so insecure?!
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will always be here and will always stay with you! Besides, at that side, I¡¯m already a dead person. After so long, my body would¡¯ve been sent to the crematorium and is now cremated. How can I go back?!¡±
Hearing Feng Qi Qi say that, Feng Cang frowned. On his devilish beautiful face appeared a strange emotion, ¡°So, I should thank Lian Sheng. If it wasn¡¯t because of him, you wouldn¡¯t havee here and even more, it would be impossible for you to meet me?¡±
¡°You can say that.¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded. Her mouth revealed a mocking mood. Indeed, if it wasn¡¯t because she¡¯d died from Lian Sheng¡¯s gun, then how would she have had the opportunity to time-travel and continue to live with the identity of Feng Qi Qi? How would she had fallen in love with Feng Cang, let alone be married to him?
¡°If Misha really is Lian Sheng, then he really is like the soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed.
The soul of a deceased has not yet to be dispersed: too pestering
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words revealed a deep hatred and disgust for Lian Sheng.
Although, when she¡¯d been describing Lian Sheng, Feng Qi Qi had only used a few words, but from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice, Feng Cang could hear the deep hatred she had for Lian Sheng. Especially, when at the end, she¡¯d mentioned how adoptive father had died at Lian Sheng¡¯s hands. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s body even shivered a bit.
Feng Cang could understand Feng Qi Qi¡¯s mood. Just like that year when he¡¯d thought that Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue had died at Yandang mountain. At that time, his mood was also like this. He couldn¡¯t wait to find the enemy and pay him back with a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood.
¡°Qing Qing, what kind of characteristics does Lian Sheng have?¡±
Feng Cang gently stroked Feng Qi Qi¡¯s back. A warm current released from his hand and spread along Feng Qi Qi¡¯s back. A momentter, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s back became warm.
¡°He¡¯s very extreme. When he was warm, he was a gentleman. When he was crazy and irritable, he was a demon. His good and evil were only a hair¡¯s breadth apart. He was someone very extreme. As for his characteristics...,¡± Feng Qi Qi thought for a long while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, ¡°He likes to tap the table. Especially when he was in deep thought.¡±
Feng Qi Qi ttened Feng Cang¡¯s palm. Her fingertips made ¡®da, da¡¯ sounds on his palm.
¡°Like this! Every time, when he made a decision, he liked to do this!¡±
Feng Cang secretly remembered these characteristics of Lian Sheng that Feng Qi Qi mentioned.
It seemed that he needed to let people monitor Misha. If Misha really had this habit, maybe he really was Lian Sheng. Since Lian Sheng owed Feng Qi Qi two lives, he would let Misha pay a debt of blood with blood.
After she revealed her true identity, Feng Qi Qi had a rxed feeling. She hade to this world for so long, yet she hadn¡¯t told anyone about her past. She hadn¡¯t revealed even a word to her personal maids, Su Mei and Su Yue.
Today, Feng Qi Qi was very happy after telling Feng Cang everything. Because the feeling of sharing with others was so good. Particrly, after Feng Cang heard those words, he didn¡¯t think that she was saying nonsense and chose to believe her. This made Feng Qi Qi feel that she had an ¡®intimate friend¡¯. After all, that identity was the biggest secret to Feng Qi Qi. It felt very good, sharing her secrets with Feng Cang!
¡°Qing Qing, if Misha is really Lian Sheng, then Lian Sheng has certainlye for you. Like you said, the contents of the seven-floor pagoda were the training you¡¯ve once done. Then, the one who made the tests of the seven-floor pagoda definitely must be linked in countless ways with Lian Sheng. I think, whether Misha is Lian Sheng or not, we should...,¡± Feng Cang made a gesture of a cutting knife.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t borate, but Feng Cang¡¯s intuition told him that this person¡¯s desire for ¡®Yi Lian¡¯ could only be described as crazy. If Misha was really Lian Sheng, then wouldn¡¯t he be looking everywhere for Feng Qi Qi? In the past life, he¡¯d killed her because he couldn¡¯t get her. Could it be that Lian Sheng still wanted to get her in this life?
No! I will never allow such a thing to happen! No matter if she¡¯s Yi Lian or Feng Qi Qi, she is his wife. He would not let go and wouldn¡¯t let anyone have the opportunity to exploit!
Knowing Feng Cang for so long, Feng Qi Qi was used to seeing him be as tender and soft as water, as light as the wind and as calm as the clouds. She had never seen him like this. That pair of flirtatious eyes was filled with a thickyer of haze. His voice was also lower than usual.
¡°Cang means that it¡¯s preferable to kill thousands wrongly than to let one go?¡± Feng Qi Qi raised her hand and raised Feng Cang¡¯s chin. ¡°Tsk, tsk, I was used to seeing your gentle side. I forgot that you have the nickname demon wang...¡±2
¡°Could it be that Qing Qing wants to experience it?¡± Feng Cang smiled enchantingly. He instantly put away the violence of his body. His eyes were full of love. He reached out, held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and kissed her fingertips.
¡°Haha...,¡± the feelinging from her fingers made Feng Qi Qiugh. ¡°Cang, don¡¯t y anymore. So itchy!¡±
¡°Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang lowered his head and bit Feng Qi Qi¡¯s earlobe. ¡°I will protect you like how a knight will always protect his princess and wouldn¡¯t let anyone get close!¡±
Warm air lingered on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ear. Hearing the thick jealousy from Feng Cang¡¯s words, Feng Cangughed and held his strong waist, ¡°Good, ah! My mighty knight!¡±
In just a night, more than a group of people appeared at the house where Misha lived. Some were Feng Cang¡¯s and some were Feng Qi Qi¡¯s. Fo Sheng Men¡¯s and Moyu¡¯s top masters were here and hid in the marketce. There was only one goal for everyone and that was Misha.
After arriving at Yan capital, Misha had been staying in the house and didn¡¯t go out. Because his legs were disabled, he didn¡¯t like to go on the streets. He didn¡¯t like the strange looks on other people¡¯s faces whenever they look at his legs. Although he had a deceptive face, but it was a fact that he was crippled.
¡°Xia Xue, you still haven¡¯t found out about Su Mei?¡± Misha was somewhat impatient. The weather was getting warmer, but his matter had been progressing so slowly. So many days had passed; why hadn¡¯t Xia Xue get the data about Su Mei yet?
¡°Young master, no.¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯ The whip in Misha¡¯s hand hit Xia Xue¡¯s legs fiercely, ¡°Kneel!¡±
The coldness on the beautiful face in front of her made Xia Xue startled. She quickly knelt in front of Misha, ¡°Young master, it¡¯s Xia Xue¡¯s fault. Young master, don¡¯t get angry! Su Mei is princess Zhen Guo¡¯s personal maid. Feng Qi Qi is either in the pce or at the wangfu. I didn¡¯t have the chance to get close to Su Mei...¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯ Xia Xue didn¡¯t finish speaking. Her face felt pain. The right side of her face immediately became swollen.
¡°Young master, Xia Xue didn¡¯t lie. This subordinate really couldn¡¯t find information about Su Mei. This subordinate has already tried her best...¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯
Didn¡¯t wait for Xia Xue to say more, Misha¡¯s whip let her face get one more whip mark. In the end, Xia Xue could only shut up. Although her expression was still cold, but her eyes obviously had a thickyer of grievance. She didn¡¯t know why Misha would treat her like this.
Xia Xue¡¯s expression made Misha get in an even more bad mood. After hooking the whip, he brought Xia Xue in front of him.
¡°Xia Xue, are you very dissatisfied? You¡¯re thinking that this young master beat you wrongly?¡±
Misha¡¯s voice was cool like mint, but the way he looked at Xia Xue didn¡¯t have the calmness of usual. This kind of alienation, indifference and the cold on her back made Xia Xue feel scared.
Xia Xue didn¡¯t want Misha to lose the trust in her and didn¡¯t want him to alienate himself from her. She didn¡¯t want that! ¡°Young master, Xia Xue doesn¡¯t feel wronged! Young master beat Xia Xue rightly!¡±
¡°Then say, what did you hide from me?¡±
¡°I...,¡± Xia Xue was surprised for a moment. Her chest tightened. She no longer spoke.
Seeing her like this, Misha snorted. ¡°Xia Xue, I¡¯ve said that I hate people lying to me the most. Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Su Mei is about to marry Bei Zhou¡¯s Xiaoyao wang? What more are you hiding from me?¡±
¡°Young master?!¡±
Xia Xue never thought that Misha actually found out about Su Mei¡¯s wedding. Who told him? Could it be sir Jia Lan? No, ah. How did sir Jia Lan know Su Mei? It couldn¡¯t be Jia Lan who¡¯d told him...
¡°Don¡¯t think anymore...,¡± Misha suddenly disliked the woman in front of him a bit. She obviously knew his personality and still acted like this. Could it be that she did it on purpose?
Seeing that Misha suspected her loyalty, Xia Xue immediately kowtowed and shouted injustice, ¡°Young master, Xia Xue didn¡¯t betray you! Please, you have to believe in my loyalty!¡±
¡°Loyalty? Would someone loyal do such a thing? If it wasn¡¯t because I took a walk in the yard today and heard people from the outside talk about Xiaoyao wang¡¯s marriage, I wouldn¡¯t know even if Su Mei had already married!¡±
Thest words were roared by Misha.
After thinking that Su Mei might be Yi Lian and what Xia Xue had done could have made him lose Yi Lian forever, Misha¡¯s whip mercilessly fell on Xia Xue¡¯s body.
¡®Pa...pa, pa....¡¯
Xia Xue was also made from flesh and blood. Misha was originally someone who practiced martial arts. The strength in his hand was great. Now, this whip hit her hard. It was so painful that Xia Xue frowned, but she didn¡¯t dare to make a sound.
Because Su Mei¡¯s wedding was originally her (XX) fault. If she finds a reason to justify herself, she would definitely lose Misha¡¯s trust. Perhaps, Misha would send her away. No! She didn¡¯t want to leave young master! The most important person in her life was Misha. If she left Misha, what should she do? Xia Xue didn¡¯t dare to think about it.
Only when Misha was tired from hitting did he throw the whip on the ground.
¡°Xia Xue, leave! I don¡¯t want you anymore!¡± Misha turned the wheelchair. His back faced Xia Xue. He didn¡¯t look at Xia Xue who was full of ck and blue wounds. His voice also didn¡¯t have a trace of warmness. Betraying once would lead to betraying every time. He didn¡¯t need such a disloyal ve at his side!
Such wordsing from Misha made the tears immediately fall out from Xia Xue. Just now, no matter how Misha punished her, Xia Xue didn¡¯t make a sound. She gritted her teeth as if the pain wasn¡¯ting from her body, as if the one who had been beaten wasn¡¯t her. Now, a ¡®I don¡¯t want you¡¯ from Misha made all the emotione up in Xia Xue¡¯s heart.
¡°Young master, don¡¯t send Xia Xue away!¡± Xia Xue knelt in front of Misha. Salty tears mixed with the whip marks on her face, making her twitch from pain. However, Xia Xue didn¡¯t had the mind to care about these now. She cared the most about Misha. If Misha didn¡¯t want her anymore, then where could she go?!
¡°Young master, I was wrong! I shouldn¡¯t have kept Su Mei¡¯s matter a secret. It was my fault! Young master, don¡¯t send me away! I will never do this again!¡±
Xie Xue¡¯s appearance was extremely pitiful. She kept kowtowing and wanted to warm Misha¡¯s cold heart. She would rather Misha whip her than to lose Misha.
¡°Young master, give me one more chance! Young master, Xia Xue served you for so many years. Even if you don¡¯t do it for the monk, do it for Buddha. Spare me this time! Everything is my fault. Young master, don¡¯t be angry! Please, give me one more chance. I beg you!¡±
Don¡¯t do it for the monk, do it for Buddha: out of consideration
The tears and the blood on her face merged together. At this time, Xia Xue¡¯s original features couldn¡¯t be seen on her originally pretty face. ¡®Bang, bang¡¯, sounds of the kowtow spread to Misha¡¯s ears, but he wasn¡¯t the slightest bit affected. Xia Xue was his closest person. She took care of his daily matters like food and clothing. If even Xia Xue hid things from him, lie to him, then, where would there be any sense of security?
¡°Young master, you can hit and scold me, but don¡¯t make me leave! If I leave, who will take care of young master?! Young master, it was my fault. Everything was my fault! I made you angry. I know I am wrong. I truly know I am wrong!¡±
At this moment, Xia Xue was very regretful. She had long known Yi Lian¡¯s existence was unmatched to anyone in Misha¡¯s heart, but she still had the wishful thinking that she could surpass the existence of Yi Lian and live in Misha¡¯s heart. So, that was why she kept Su Mei¡¯s wedding a secret because she didn¡¯t want Misha to find Yi Lian.
Now, after seeing Misha¡¯s expression, Xia Xue finally understood, no one could rece Yi Lian¡¯s existence in Misha¡¯s heart. No matter how many things she did, Misha wouldn¡¯t turn around and give her a nce. He wouldn¡¯t give her the slightest pity. However, however, she still loved such a him, ah!
Misha¡¯s dark eyes coldly looked at the teary and bloodstained face of Xia Xue. His expression wasn¡¯t the slightest bit moved. How could he not know those thoughts of her? In the past life, there were also many women who threw themselves at him, but he only felt disdain and contempt towards them.
If he wanted women, he only needed to flick his finger. At any time, there would be someone who would give her life to him. However, he didn¡¯t like those people. If there was no love, how could he do it...He only loved Yi Lian. He liked that noble and unsullied fairylike lotus that sometimes would be charming like a Japanese rose woman. Compared to Yi Lian, these women were rubbish. When they see a man, they would throw themselves on him. Really extremely cheap!

Chapter 165 (Part 2) Conspiracy
No wonder that ever since he came to Bei Zhou, the progress had been so slow. It turned out that Xia Xue had yed tricks. What, there was not enough people? What, Moyu and Fo Sheng Men didn¡¯t want to give them information? These were only Xia Xue¡¯s one-sided statements!
If Su Mei was Yi Lian, then Xia Xue keeping the wedding a secret was a death penalty. Even if Su Mei wasn¡¯t Yi Lian, such a disloyal person couldn¡¯t be allowed to have aissez-faire attitude, lest she be secretly proud of herself and think that he was someone who could easily be lied to.
Although Misha was very angry and really wanted to kill Xia Xue, but he couldn¡¯t. After all, it had been Xia Xue who took care of him for so many years. Moreover, the rivers of the mountain were remote. Here was far from Peni Ind. He couldn¡¯t find any easy-to-use person in a short while. So, she still had a little bit of value.
¡°Give me the whip!¡± Misha reached his hand out. The moment Xia Xue saw that, joy appeared in her eyes. Young master talked to her. Did this mean that he had forgiven her? Thinking till here, Xia Xue quickly picked up the whip from the ground. She held it with both hands and carefully handed Misha it as though she was a lowly ve waiting for the master¡¯s decision.
Misha didn¡¯t speak. He held the whip by the thong and raised Xia Xue¡¯s scarred face with the handle.
¡°What a pity to this face...¡±
Misha¡¯s gaze was impossible to unravel as if he was looking at a prey, rming Xia Xue¡¯s heart and making her tremble in fear. She was afraid. Although Xia Xue was scared, she didn¡¯t dare to have anyints. She knew that she must grab the chance Misha had given her, otherwise she would be driven away. She didn¡¯t want to leave Misha. She could only let Misha look at her face.
After looking for a long while, Misha leaned on the wheelchair. He threw the whip on the ground. His finger gently tapped the handle of the wheelchair. ¡°Xia Xue, since you say that you¡¯re loyal to me, then do one thing for me now to prove your loyalty!¡±
Xia Xue didn¡¯t know why, but after hearing this, she involuntarily shuddered. Why did she have the feeling that she had been calcted by Misha?
¡°What, you don¡¯t want to?¡± Xia Xue¡¯s silence made Misha chuckle. His smile was like sunshine and clean and beautiful like the winter snow covered with golden sunlight, making Xia Xue fall into a trance.
¡°Since you don¡¯t want to, then leave! As Peni Ind¡¯s traitor, you already don¡¯t have the qualification to return to Peni Ind.¡±
Xia Xue finally understood why she had lost to this man. He¡¯d sealed all her retreats, making it so that she could never return to the hometown where she had grown up. He also gave her the title of ¡®traitor¡¯, forcing her to do what he wanted.
This man had always acted so ruthlessly. Even though she¡¯d painstakingly served him for six years, carefully cared for him and had always been loyal to him, but when he turned his face against her, he showed no mercy.
And she...she fell for his mercilessness. What could she do?! Why couldn¡¯t he share a little bit of his love for Yi Lian with her? Even a tiny bit, she would be satisfied. Why did he had to be so cruel with her?! She obviously loves him so much, ah!
In front of him, she had always been with no integrity like this. Loving him, she had been petty and low like dust.
¡°I¡¯m willing to do anything for young master.¡± Xia Xue wiped away the tears from her face and looked at Misha. Even if she had no integrity, she felt sweet as syrup. She could only stay with him if she had value. If one day he no longer used her, Xia Xue would feel sorrowful because he wouldn¡¯t let rubbish stay around him. By then, she would lose Misha forever.
Sweet as syrup: endure hardship dly
¡°Come here!¡± Misha gestured with his finger. Xia Xue still knelt, crawled two steps forward and came to Misha. Misha¡¯s sentences were very short. They were only a few words. He specially added one sentence, ¡°Remember, this is yourst chance, yo!¡±
After hearing Misha, Xia Xue opened her mouth in surprise. Her eyes were full of disbelief and panic. However, once she faced that pure smile on Misha¡¯s innocent face, Xia Xue only hesitated for a moment. She gritted her teeth and nodded, ¡°Xia Xue would definitely do as young master ordered!¡±
¡°Good!¡± The corner of Misha¡¯s mouth raised. His smile was pure and holy like an anger, making Xia Xue dazzled. Her whole heart also fell deeper because of this smile...
¡°Go wash yourselves and apply medicine. The most important thing for a girl is her appearance. Don¡¯t let me destroy it. Then, I will be extremely sinful.¡±
Misha¡¯s words were like magic, making Xia Xue willingly do anything for him.
Aftering out of the room, she hadn¡¯t walk two steps when Xia Xue saw Jin Yu.
¡°Xia Xue, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Jin Yu was shocked after he saw Xia Xue¡¯s appearance. Just now, he¡¯d passed by and heard the sound of Xia Xue crying. That was why Jin Yu stopped. Now, after seeing Xia Xue¡¯s face covered with the marks of a whip, he quickly approached to show his concern.
¡°I¡¯m fine....,¡± Xia Xue blocked her face and dodged Jin Yu¡¯s eyes, but her hand was grabbed by Jin Yu. ¡°Did he beat you?! Why did he beat you? I will go reason with him!¡±
Jin Yu grew up with Xia Xue. The two had a good rtionship. Plus, the fact that the rtion between Jia Lan and Misha was not bad, so, their two subordinates were also very close. Jin Yu regarded Xia Xue as his little sister. Now, seeing that Xia Xue was beaten like this by Misha, Jin Yu was very angry. He wished he could kick Misha¡¯s door and ask him why he did it.
¡°Jin Yu, no!¡± Seeing Jin Yu like this, Xia Xue struggled to get herself free. ¡°Jin Yu, I did something wrong. That was why young master punished me. I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry for me!¡±
¡°Even if you did something wrong, he shouldn¡¯t have hit you. You¡¯re a girl, ah!¡± Aside from being angry, Jin Yu had no way to deal with Xia Xue¡¯s plea. It seemed that he should tell sir Jia Lan and let him persuade sir Misha!
It was getting closer and closer to Su Mei¡¯s wedding. Feng Qi Qi had long prepared the wedding dress and jewelleries for her. Xiaoyao wangfu1 was also almost done preparing. The happy matter was approaching, but the worry didn¡¯t reduce from the groom, Wanyan Kang¡¯s face. Because, ever since the time he¡¯d wanted to leave the capital, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t let him see Su Mei again.
Feng Qi Qi was angry over his words. Wanyan Kang could understand that. The only thing he didn¡¯t understand was, could it be that Su Mei didn¡¯t miss him even a little bit? Why was it that every time, he made trouble at Tingsong building, Su Mei didn¡¯te out to see him? Could it be that he wasn¡¯t that important in Su Mei¡¯s heart or was it that Su Mei put the words of that day in her heart and was still angry at him?
Su Mei¡¯s attitude made Wanyan Kang feel like that there was a little monkey jumping in his heart, making his heart very chaotic.
After being messed with by Feng Qi Qi, he understood the questions that had been tangling him these past few days. What about Wanyan Lie? What about the grudges of his father? Those were fleeting. The most crucial thing was marrying his wife and holding her in his arms. That kind of feeling of unable to reach a fruit that hung on a branch was really ufortable.
The new emperor ascended the throne and since Wanyan Jie was still a child, Feng Cang put his mind more on the court. Feng Qi Qi said that Feng Cang¡¯s body wasn¡¯t well and to let Wanyan Kang, this Xiaoyao wang2 help him more, forcing Wanyan Kang to go to the morning court everyday and let him begin to care about the affairs of the state.
When he was a prince, Wanyan Kang had always stayed out of things and had an attitude of not caring about the state. However, when he really took over, he was serious as he had never been before. From Wanyan Kang¡¯s point of view, he should let his father¡¯s merits flourish and he should correct the shorings of his father.
Although in the past, he didn¡¯t put his heart on the court and this time, he was also forced by Feng Qi Qi to begin to care about the government, but one had to say, in the blood of Wanyan family, there was a natural acumen of authority. Even Feng Cang couldn¡¯t praise Wanyan Kang¡¯s performance enough.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s performance let Feng Qi Qi be slightly more assured. Before, she was worried that a setback (Wanyan Lie¡¯s matter) would lead Wanyan Kang to copse totally. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Kang¡¯s self-healing ability was so strong.
In the end, this Bei Zhou would be given to Wanyan family. She and Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any ambition to be emperor. Feng Cang had never thought about restoring former Qin and unify the mountains and rivers. Now, he slowly handed the affairs of the court over to Wanyan Kang. It could also be regarded as preparing for their departure in advance.
Unify the mountains and rivers: unify all the countries
Wanyan Kang was at a loss about Su Mei¡¯s matter. Inside Tingsong building, Su Mei and Su Yue looked with a very serious face at the two masters who were opposite them.
¡°Based on the observation of Xia Xue these few days, Xia Xue and Misha are secretly nning something that¡¯s presumably rted to Su Mei¡¯s wedding,¡± Nn Xin reported the results of the investigation to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi.
After hearing this, Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang exchanged a nce. Both understood the meaning of each other. It seemed that Misha had a very big chance of being the pestering Lian Sheng.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t tell Su Mei and Su Yue about her experience of the previous life in detail. She only said that Misha was searching for the female contestants who¡¯d participated in the tournament of the four countries. Murong Qing Lian had been killed. Bai Yi Yue was attacked. The next ones would be Su Mei and her. Although she didn¡¯t know what the motive of this person was, but Misha must die.
Su Mei and Su Yue didn¡¯t doubt their miss¡¯s words. They had always believed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words without any reason. This was a trust that came from the bottom of their hearts. Even if she didn¡¯t say the reason, but miss¡¯s words were the imperial edicts. This was a deep-rooted thought of Su Mei, Su Yue and the people of Moyu.
¡°Miss, since Misha has ideas about the wedding, why don¡¯t we beat him at his own game?! Although Peni Ind¡¯s people are powerful, but after all, here is Bei Zhou. We have more people, a wide intelligence group and a hugework. Could it be that we should be afraid of a very small Misha?!¡±
When met with an enemy, Su Mei had always been courageous and daring. Not to mention that the other party wanted to disrupt her wedding. How could she not be angry? She didn¡¯t know Misha or Shami? If someone really wanted to disrupt her wedding, if one came, she would kill one. If two came, she would kill a pair.
Su Mei¡¯s words let the atmosphere rx a bit.
Although Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t exin Misha¡¯s reasons in detail, but from the monitoring of these past few days, whether it was Fo Sheng Men¡¯s or Moyu¡¯s people, they all could feel the importance their two masters had put on this Misha and also their dislike towards him. The hatred especiallying from Feng Cang was more intense.
To them, killing was nothing more than a piece of cake. Wouldn¡¯t it be best to find an opportunity and get rid of Misha?!
However, this proposal was rejected by Feng Qi Qi. If it wasn¡¯t determined that Misha was Lian Sheng, she wouldn¡¯t wilfully ughter the innocent. If Misha really was Lian Sheng, then it wouldn¡¯t be so easy to kill him.
After all, Feng Qi Qi knew the ability of Lian Sheng very well. Even if his legs were disabled, he couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Moreover, there was still Jia Lan at Misha¡¯s side. That time, at the finals of the tournament, Feng Qi Qi tested Jia Lan. That person was an expert of the experts. He wasn¡¯t easy to deal with. Peni Ind wasn¡¯t undeserved of its reputation!
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s only requirement was to not kill the innocent and neither let their people be lost (die). It would be the best if they could lead Misha to a ce and kill him with one shot.
Although Su Mei had high martial arts, but Lian Sheng was full of craft and cunning. With her straightforward personality, she wouldn¡¯t be able to subdue Misha. If something happens to Su Mei, then wouldn¡¯t they have wronged Wanyan Kang? So, Su Mei absolutely couldn¡¯t participate in this matter.
¡°Su Mei, you would suffer a bit of injustice this time! I fear that your wedding wouldn¡¯t go smoothly! You may not be able to sit on this sedan chair!¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words already decided that Su Mei would be excluded from this ¡®lure into a trap¡¯ action.
Presumably, because she¡¯d heard from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words that she had been excluded, Su Mei immediately got anxious, ¡°Miss, let me go! Don¡¯t worry, I will take care of myself. Nothing will happen!¡±
¡°No!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s opinion was the same as Feng Qi Qi¡¯s on this matter.
Although, Su Mei was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s subordinate, but she was Wanyan Kang¡¯s fianc¨¦e. They didn¡¯t know what this Misha would do. They couldn¡¯t let Su Mei take any risks. Even if it was one percent, they couldn¡¯t. After all, Wanyan Kang was his good friend and brother. He couldn¡¯t let Su Mei take any risks with herself.
¡°But, I¡¯m the most suitable candidate, ah!¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re not...,¡± Feng Cang smiled and got up. He took Su Mei¡¯s wedding dress and draped it around himself. The red wedding dress made the snow white of Feng Cang stand out. It made red cloud reflect on his white as porcin face. ¡°Only I can go do this thing...¡±
Feng Cang had long wanted to see Misha and his hand had also been itching greatly. He wanted to personally cut off Misha¡¯s head. From the beginning of the preparation, Feng Cang had already made the decision. He must personally finish Misha! He would absolutely not forgive that person who hurt Feng Qi Qi!
¡°Cang...,¡± How could Feng Qi Qi not know Feng Cang¡¯s mood? These past few nights, Feng Cang would hold her tightly as if he was afraid that she would be gone with the wind. Misha had already be a thorn in Feng Cang¡¯s heart. It would be unpleasant if he didn¡¯t get rid of it. From his look, he must have thought about it for a long time.
¡°Qing Qing, what is the result of me ying the beautiful bride?¡±
Feng Cang had always loved white. People knew that this man could make wearing white appear like a man and a demon at the same time. They didn¡¯t expect that when he wore red, he became an authentic devil.

Chapter 166 (part 1) Burning mes
¡°Beautiful, very beautiful...,¡± Feng Qi Qi looked smilingly at the man in front of her. A devil dressed in red seemed like snow who was tainted in red. The red wrapped around him. Really...a devil who was so beautiful that he would damage a country and cause the suffering to people!
¡°Then, it¡¯s decided!¡±
Feng Cang beat time with ppers, so, Feng Qi Qi basically had no time to object.
After the people left, Feng Cang folded the red dress and put it to a side. He came over to hold Feng Qi Qi but discovered that she had a look of concern. Feng Cang smilingly kissed her forehead, ¡°Is Qing Qing worried about me?¡±
¡°Cang, Lian Sheng is not easy to deal with...I¡¯m afraid...¡±
¡°Is Qing Qing so not confident in me?¡± Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi and let her sit on hisp. He pushed the hair on her forehead and revealed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s red mole.
¡°I just don¡¯t want anything bad to happen. I only have you...¡±
Feng Qi Qi pasted herself very close to Feng Cang and listened to his heartbeat. Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were firm. She couldn¡¯t stop this matter. If it wasn¡¯t because she was pregnant now, she would personally go and end the grudge between her and Lian Sheng.
¡°Believe me!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s fingers were slender and smooth as jade. At this time, his fingers went gently through Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ck hair. The warmth from his hand gradually made Feng Qi Qi set her mind at ease.
¡°I believe in you! However, that day, I have to be hiding at a close ce.¡± Although Feng Qi Qi said she believed in Feng Cang, but she couldn¡¯t go bet with the person she loved. ¡°I understand Lian Sheng more. If Lian Sheng has any abnormalities, I can warn you in advance. After all, in this world, I¡¯m the person who knows him the best.¡±
Knowing that Feng Qi Qi was as stubborn as him, the thing she decided won¡¯t change, Feng Cang could only nod and agree, ¡°You should also be careful.¡±
Feng Qi Qi was a bit surprised that Feng Cang didn¡¯t object. She looked at him and saw that the gentleness was up to the bottom of his eyes. Feng Qi Qi was even more moved. This man truly pampered her to the heavens! That she was going, presumably he would make more preparations!
After being whipped, Xia Xue suddenly became very busy. So busy, that she didn¡¯t even had the time to greet Jin Yu when she passed him. Seeing Xia Xue like this, Jin Yu felt stuffy. Taking advantage that Jia Lan was in a good mood, Jin Yu took the initiative to talk with him about Misha and Xia Xue.
After thest conflict with Misha, there were very few times where Jia Lan and Misha met. It was more that Misha didn¡¯t want to see him. Even if the two lived under the same roof, Misha didn¡¯t want to meet Jia Lan. Usually, he would stay in his room. Misha would take a stroll in the yard only when Jia Lan went out.
That the two originally good friends became like this was something that Jin Yu didn¡¯t want to see. However, he was only a ve and this problem couldn¡¯t be solved with a few words. So, he could only be anxious from watching, but he was powerless.
Now, Xia Xue¡¯s matter was an opportunity. So, Jin Yu told Jia Lan about the day that Xia Xue suffered a whipping and that she was in a hurry and very strange recently. After hearing Jin Yu, Jia Lan was very surprised, ¡°Xia Xue was doing something in secret?¡±
¡°Master, do you think I should follow Xia Xue? I¡¯m worried that something will happen to her...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t.¡± Since Jia Lan and Misha had a dispute, he felt vert regrettable and wanted to reconcile with Misha. However, Misha didn¡¯t give him the opportunity. He (MS) had been avoiding him (JL), making it very difficult for Jia Lan. If Jin Yu followed Xia Xue and was discovered, Misha certainly would misunderstand him again. The knot between them may never be solved then.
¡°If Xia Xue didn¡¯t ask for your help, then, don¡¯t follow her. Xia Xue¡¯s martial arts are equal to yours. If you follow her, you will certainly be discovered. By then, it wouldn¡¯t be good if Misha misunderstood.¡±
¡°Yes! This subordinate understands!¡±
At the other side, Xia Xue returned to Misha¡¯s side. Misha had his back to her. He looked at the bird on the branch outside the window. After a while did he turn and asked Xia Xue, ¡°Everything is ready?¡±
¡°Young master, everything is prepared. We only need to wait for the bridal sedan chair to depart from the regent¡¯s residence.¡±
¡°Good! Hehe...,¡± Misha held a blooming peach blossom. He put the flower under his nose, sniffed and revealed a strange expression.
¡°Young master, if Su Mei isn¡¯t miss Yi Lian, then...¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s words smashed Misha¡¯s beautiful fantasy into pieces. His right thumb and index finger kneaded the petals and rubbed the petals into pieces. The pieces fell on the ground.
¡°If she isn¡¯t, then find me the real one. Otherwise, offer your apology with death!¡±
After hearing Misha, Xia Xue wished she could give herself a p. Howe she had forgotten that young master hated the most when others destroy his beautiful dream. At such an important moment, she actually said things that spoiled everything. Wasn¡¯t this looking for her own death?!
¡°Get out!¡± Sensing Xia Xue¡¯s guilt, Misha roared. Xia Xue could only bow and retreat.
After Xia Xue left, Misha was like a deted ball and went limp in the wheelchair. How could he not know that Xia Xue spoke the truth?! It was just, he didn¡¯t like the feeling of a beautiful dream being broken. Although, he had gone through many defeats and his heart had long be strong, but the feeling of falling from a high mountain into darkness was still so ufortable that it made it difficult for people to breathe.
Yi Lian, where are you? Don¡¯t y hide and seek anymore, alright? I beg you...
One, because of his beloved wife wanted to kill Misha. The other, because of love tried very hard to find Yi Lian. It was just, what Misha and Feng Cang didn¡¯t know was that even if everything was prepared, but there was a rule in this world that say, ¡°nning is with man, aplishing is with heaven.¡±
nning is with man, aplishing is with heaven: Man proposes but God disposes.
Wanyan Jie ascended the throne. Even if he was just a six-year-old child, but with Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang¡¯s support, no turmoil urred in Bei Zhou. Those officials didn¡¯t dare to bully Wanyan Jie because he was young. After all, in the pce, there was the empress dowager. At court, there was regent Feng Cang and Xiaoyao wang1 Wanyan Kang. All of them together was something they couldn¡¯t shake.
After getting to know Feng Cang¡¯s other identity...Long Ao Tian, Dongfang Lan was shocked for a long time. Long was the former Qin¡¯s national surname. Feng Cang¡¯s appearance made her unable not to match his face with an old friend¡¯s and guess the rtion between them.
However, Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t think for a long time when Feng Cang generously revealed his identity. After she got to know that Feng Cang is a descendant of former Qin, Dongfang Lan lost her speech for a long time.
Knowing that such a day woulde, Feng Qi Qi gave the empress dowager a letter written by Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue before they left. After reading her daughter and her son-inw¡¯s letter, did Dongfang Lan got to know that this couple lied even to her, their mother.
If it wasn¡¯t because she raised Feng Cang and had deep feelings toward him plus the rtionship between Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, Dongfang Lan would¡¯ve certainly let people take Feng Cang prisoner.
After all, he¡¯s a descendant of former Qin. What if he wanted to restore Great Qin, reconstruct the three separated countries to their previous state and because of thisunch endless wars and let the citizens be caught among the fire of the war? Then, what should she do? Although, she had long be indifferent to the power struggles, but Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t want the country to be unstable again. By then, it would be hard on the citizens. The ones who would suffer would also be the citizens.
Dongfang Lan had no requirements on who would take the country. Whether it was Feng Cang or Wanyan Kang bing the emperor, as long as he showed grace to the people, then he¡¯s a good emperor. This empress dowager who spent the first half of her life on a horseback, in the second half of her life, she had been pondering about the past.
In the past, she instigated Wanyan Zhi to be the emperor himself which resulted in Feng Cang¡¯s home being ruined and he was orphaned. Because of this, Dongfang Lan felt a profound guilt towards Feng Cang.
It was just, the matter was already done. That the world was cut into four was already set. If Feng Cang wanted to use the identity of former Qin imperial family¡¯s descendant to disrupt this order, cause the maind to be trapped between water and fire and let the citizens be in disaster, Dongfang Lan would definitely not let this happen. She would not let people repeat the mistake she made.
Fortunately, Feng Cang didn¡¯t had the thought of restoring former Qin and also had no desire for power. After the two grandchildren and the grandmother talked, was Dongfang Lan assured of giving Feng Qi Qi to Feng Cang. The harem was also in good order under the management of Dongfang Lan.
It was outside Dongfang Lan¡¯s expectation that Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have interest in the throne. ording to the ability, she originally hoped that Feng Cang could inherit the throne. Moreover, this dynasty was originally Long family¡¯s. Feng Cang¡¯s capabilities and strategies were suitable to be an emperor and a monarch. He was the most suitable candidate.
However, Feng Cang rejected Dongfang Lan¡¯s request. He expressed that he had no interest in the throne. He only wanted to live happily with Feng Qi Qi. Seeing the loving look of the couple, Dongfang Lan probably could understand Feng Cang¡¯s thoughts.
After all, being in a high position, one wouldn¡¯t have the freedom to act ording to one¡¯s own volition. If Feng Cang became the emperor and the harem only had one empress and didn¡¯t have other women, it would certainly cause criticism. As an emperor, one need to weight the interests. Love would certainly be sacrificed. Thinking about Feng Qi Qi¡¯s happiness, Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t insist anymore.
Wanyan Kang always had the mischievous appearance and refused to be the emperor. This also made Dongfang Lan helpless. In the end, they had to push Wanyan Jie to the front and let him be the new emperor.
Since Wanyan Jie became the little emperor, Dongfang Lan saw raising Wanyan Jie as her responsibility. Not only did she let Wanyan Jie live in Jinxuan pce, she also personally taught Wanyan Lie the various etiquettes of the court, all kinds of rules and also invited a famous teacher to be Wanyan Jie¡¯s teacher.
A child needed to be taught from an early age. Dongfang Lan had a profound understanding of this. A good moral character and good habits needed the be taught when the child was still small. She didn¡¯t want Wanyan Jie to be the new Wanyan Lie or Wanyan Hong!
¡°If you have something to report, then enlighten. If you have nothing to report, then retreat the morning court!¡± The high-pitched voice of the new head of the eunuch Shan Xi resounded throughout the hall. He was personally selected by Dongfang Lan for Wanyan Jie. He had also been trained by Dongfang Lan. Now, he followed Wanyan Jie and served this new master.
The officials heard Shan Xi¡¯s word. It was just, the thing they needed to report, they already reported. They didn¡¯t have anything else to report. So, everyone remained silent.
Just as Shan Xi was about to say ¡°retreat¡± to the officials, an ¡°announce¡± came from far away at the gate. One after another shout came.
When the person arrived at the main hall, the people saw that it was a soldier covered in dusts. A fire dragon g was stuck behind him.
¡°There¡¯s war!¡± Seeing this, the officials were shocked. The soldier carried a fire dragon g. The fire dragon g had always only been used when there was a serious war. Seeing the soldier¡¯s worn-out appearance, he must¡¯ve been rushing day and night. His lips were cracked and his face was pale. He just entered the hall, when he knelt.
¡°Announce! Dong Lu¡¯s hundred fifty thousand soldiers raided Yan gate. My twenty thousand soldiers defended and resisted. Ultimately, we were no match for the enemy. Yan gate was breached!¡±
¡°What?!¡± After hearing this, the officials were like they were being fried on a pot. When did Dong Lu got such a gut? They actually raided their Yan gate?
Shan Xi quickly took the report of the battlefield from the soldier. He didn¡¯t hand Wanyan Jie it first. Instead, he anxiously came to Feng Cang and gave it with both hands to Feng Cang.
After opening the report of the battlefield, Feng Cang read it carefully. The battle report arrived at the regent¡¯s hands. The officials were quiet. Everyone stared at Feng Cang¡¯s face. They wanted to see some clues from this wangye¡¯s face.
What let everyone down was that Feng Cang was calm as usual from the beginning to the end. There wasn¡¯t even the slightest change. This made the people¡¯s nervous heart gradually calm down. Everything was fine. With Feng Cang, the god of war here, how could something happen?!
Not waiting for everyone to take a breath, another ¡°Announce...¡± spread over.
Another worn-out soldier with the fire dragon g rushed over, ¡°Announce! Xi Qi¡¯s hundred fifty thousand soldiers raided Shi gate!¡±
¡®Rumble...¡¯ A thunder hovered over everyone¡¯s head. What was going on? Dong Lu and Xi Qi sent troops at the same time to attack Bei Zhou? Was it a coincidence or did the two countries join hands? What secret was behind this? Numerous questions hit everyone¡¯s heart. Both sides were attacked. This was not a good omen, ah!
¡°Bring it over!¡± Didn¡¯t wait for Shan Xi to bring the report of the battlefield over, Feng Cang already grabbed it.
The noisiness disappeared from the hall. asionally, someone would swallow saliva, but was stopped immediately. Everyone watched Feng Cang intently. They wanted to know how the situation was.
Like before, Feng Cang¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. Now, everyone¡¯s heart began to make a whim. The performance of this wangye was too calm! In the end, was the matter urgent?! The two countries sent troops at the same time could be a small or big matter. This was the first time that Bei Zhou was attacked from two sides, ah!
After Feng Cang finished reading the report of the battlefield, he handed it to Wanyan Kang. Since, he began to attend the morning court, Wanyan Kang had also be steady and calm. Those who didn¡¯t get any information front Feng Cang¡¯s face, now all started at Wanyan Kang¡¯s face. From everyone¡¯s point of view, Wanyan Kang wasn¡¯t as ¡®stable¡¯ as Feng Cang and he wouldn¡¯t be able to hide it.
Sure enough, after Wanyan Kang read the report of the battlefield, he humped once.
¡°Cousin brother, it seemed that you didn¡¯t stretch your tibia for a long time. These people had forgotten that there is a god of war in Bei Zhou!¡±
Wayan Kang¡¯s words reassured the officials with no doubt. It seemed that the matter wasn¡¯t serious! It was still in the range of being able to deal with. Moreover, there was Feng Cang. What was there to be afraid of?!
It was just, their heart had just eased, when another ¡°Announce...¡± spread over.
1. Wangye/wang: the prince of first rank
Chapter 166 (part 2) Burning flames
Chapter 166 (part 2) Burning mes
A sharp-eyes minister saw the fire dragon g on the back of the soldier. He shouted, ¡°Fire dragon g!¡± The main hall was in uproar again. ¡°What?! There is a war again! What is going on?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, ah! This is too fishy! What had happened?!¡±
Not waiting for the discussion to end, a soldier appeared in front of everyone. Because being contaminated with dust, the fire dragon g had be somewhat dirty. Only the golden dragon embroidered on the fire dragon g could vaguely be seen.
¡°Announce! Jurchin ethic tribe¡¯s hundred thousand men went from north to south and attacked Yushui gate. General Li Yi died on the battlefield!¡±
With the arrival of three fire dragon gs in one day, the peaceful Bei Zhou fell into a state of tension. Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t hide anything about the war. They announced it while they stabilized the citizens.
Fortunately, Bei Zhou had always been united and the entire nation was brought to arms. The citizens didn¡¯t go much in panic.
Inside the study, Wanyan Jie was so tired that he fell asleep in the dragon chair. Feng Cang, Wanyan Kang and a few generals were still studying the military situation. Dong Lu, Xi Qi, Jurchen, why did the three partiesunch an attack without any warning? Could it be that someone threaded a needle between? Who on earth was it?
To thread a needle: to act as a go-between
¡°Princess Zhen Guo has arrived!¡±
A shout ¡®princess Zhen Guo¡¯ let Feng Cang look up. Only now did he discover that the sky was already dark. The night fell. In the sky was a lot more stars. They had spent the whole day in the imperial study.
Su Mei, Su Yue and a few pce maids carrying a food box followed behind Feng Qi Qi.
¡°I know that you guys would be too busy to eat. So, I let people prepare something to eat.¡±
After Feng Qi Qi spoke, Wanyan Kang¡¯s stomach coordinated well and made sounds. He touched his head embarrassingly, ¡°Cousin inw, you¡¯ve arrived in time. I¡¯m really so hungry!¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t finish speaking when he saw Su Mei behind Feng Qi Qi. He immediately put the things in his hands down and came to Su Mei, ¡°Little Mei er, I finally saw you! I missed you so much!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s explicit confession made Su Mei blush, ¡°You want to die?! There are others here!¡±
Hearing someoneugh from behind, did Wanyan Kang understood that they were at the imperial study. He immediately put on a serious expression.
Su Mei and Su Yu put the food on the table. Feng Qi Qi called everyone over to eat, ¡°One can¡¯t function properly on an empty stomach. Everyone, eat before going to work again!¡±
Although, those generals had also seen Feng Qi Qi in the past, but being in such a close contact with princess Zheng Guo who had the title of the number one beauty of the word and not to mention that she was so approachable, they felt shy. Originally, they intended to be polite. After all, here was the emperor¡¯s imperial study, but Wanyan Kang directly pulled the people to sit down, ¡°Cousin inw is right! First eat. After eating, let¡¯s go beat those f***** dogs!¡±
The personality of the generals was bold and unconstrained. They saw that Xiaoyao wang1 was being like this, they no longer acted shy. They saw that Feng Cang, the head didn¡¯t object. Everyone sat around the table. They had been hungry for a day. These strong man¡¯s stomachs rumbled with hunger. They no longer cared that here was the imperial study and took big mouthfuls of meat and soup.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t eat immediately. He came to Feng Qi Qi and helped her sit down. ¡°Why did youe in person? It would be fine if you sent Su Mei and Su Yue to bring it over! You¡¯re someone pregnant. You need to take care of yourself!¡±
¡°I know, my husband the lord!¡± Seeing that Feng Cang was so wordy, Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but stuck her tongue out, ¡°Don¡¯t forget I¡¯m a doctor. I¡¯m fine. You go eat first!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s bloodshot eyes, Feng Qi Qi felt heartache. Enemy on the three sides was really too surprising. This time, Feng Cang would be busy.
The people eating here woke Wanyan Jie up. Wanyan Jie rubbed his eyes, sat up and saw Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Aunty!¡± Wanyan Jie happily ran to Feng Qi Qi. He liked this little aunty. So, every time, when Feng Qi Qi came to the pce, Wanyan Jie would be around her for a long time.
¡°Jie er2, are you hungry? Come, eat!¡±
She knew that these big men were careless. They certainly forgot that there was still a child here. Feng Qi Qi specially prepared a nutritional meal for children for Wanyan Jie. Sure enough, Wanyan Jie was very hungry. He sat beside Feng Qi Qi. One of his hand had to hold Feng Qi Qi¡¯s before he was willing to eat obediently.
Although he had many things to say to Feng Qi Qi, but Dongfang Lan taught him not to speak during a meal. So, when he ate, Wanyan Jie was very well-mannered. Plus, the fact that Su Mei¡¯s skills were very good. Wanyan Jie ate very much.
¡°So delicious!¡± Wanyan Jie sat next to Feng Qi Qi. Heughed and exposed a missing front tooth. ¡°Little aunty, the food you brought is more delicious than those of the imperial kitchen!¡±
¡°Jie er is so well-behaved!¡± Feng Qi Qi lovingly touched Wanyan Jie¡¯s head. ¡°Did you like the toy aunty gave you before?¡±
¡°I like it very much! I like little aunty the most!¡±
Usually, he was demanded to have the demeanor and appearance of an emperor. So, no matter if Wanyan Jie was attending the court or not attending the court, he always was like a little adult. Only in front of Feng Qi Qi would he reveal the innocence of a child. This beautiful aunt was a good person. This already formed a conclusion in Wanyan Jie¡¯s heart.
Feng Qi Qi had always liked children. Plus, the fact that Wanyan Jie¡¯s life was so pitiful, so, she cared more about him. Wanyan Kang and the others were still eating. Feng Qi Qi held Wanyan Jie¡¯s small hand and led him to the map on the table.
Because Wanyan Jie wasn¡¯t tall enough, Feng Qi Qi held him and let him stand on the chair.
¡°Jie er, look. This is Bei Zhou¡¯s dynasty.¡±
Feng Qi Qi carefully introduces Bei Zhou¡¯s situation to Wanyan Jie. Moreover, she referred Yan gate, Shi gate, Yushui gate plus Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchin tribe to him. ¡°This is Bei Zhou¡¯s territory. Now, it had been invaded. Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen are oppressed by the foreign enemies. Jie er, what do you think needs to be done?¡±
¡°Fight!¡± Under Feng Qi Qi¡¯s guidance, Wanyan Jie clenched his fists. ¡°Drive them away!¡±
Wanyan Jie¡¯s lofty ideals made Feng Qi Qi appreciate it very much, ¡°Jie er, you have to remember. As a monarch, you need to be the guardian angel of the citizens. You must guard your country! The purpose of an emperor is to change the country into a clenched fist and let the whole country be in unison. Like that, the country would be strong, the people would be blessed and Bei Zhou would be the king of maind. Others wouldn¡¯t dare to bully us.¡±
¡°Aunty, I know! I will be a good emperor and won¡¯t let anyone bully my people!¡± Wanyan Jie¡¯s small face had a firm expression. His small hand had also became a fist.
In a few words Feng Qi Qi let Wanyan Jie understand the general principle, making the others surprised.
After they finished eating, Feng Qi Qi gave a lot of talk to Wanyan Jie. Her voice was gentle. Hernguage was easy to understand. Through storytelling she taught knowledge and let Wanyan Jie understand it by hearing it for the first time. ¡°Aunty, you teach better than the teacher! The moment, you said it, I fully understood!¡±
Wanyan Jie childish words amused Su Mei and Su Yue, making themugh.
¡°Is that right? Then, aunty wille often to the pce and tell you stories, alright?¡± Feng Qi Qi pulled Wanyan Jie¡¯s small nose.
The moment he heard that Feng Qi Qi woulde see him often, of course Wanyan Jie pped and cheered, ¡°Good, ah! I like aunty the most! Aunty has toe often!¡±
¡°Sure!¡± After Feng Qi Qi and Wanyan Jie hooked their pinky in promise, she let Shan Xi bring Wanyan Jie back to Jinxuan pce to rest. When he was leaving, Wanyan Jie was very reluctant to part with her. He turned many times. ¡°Aunty muste visit me more often!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Feng Qi Qi gestured with her hand and promised once again. Wanyan Jie left the imperial study reluctantly.
The bowls and chopsticks had already been cleaned from the table. It seemed that Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang would stay in the pce tonight, ¡°Go back and rest earlier. You don¡¯t need to wait for me!¡± Feng Cang sent Feng Qi Qi to the door, ¡°Take care of yourself!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Qi Qi knew that the situation was critical. It was not the time for love and affection. She tiptoed and kissed Feng Cang¡¯s lips. Apanied by Su Mei and Su Yue, she left the pce.
When they returned to the regent¡¯s residence, Feng Qi Qi let Su Mei and Su Yue stay and also called over Nn Xin and Jin Mo. When they came over, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s expression turned serious.
¡°Nn Xin, how is the situation in Dong Lu?¡±
¡°Wangfei, 3it was too sudden. Many intelligences hadn¡¯t arrived yet. However, from the information we already have, Dong Lu¡¯s Xia Jin is persecuting in the name of revenge for Xia Yun Xi and let great general Hu Xue Shen lead a total of hundred fifty men to attack Yan gate. Now, Yan gate had been seized. Hu Xue Shen already invaded three provinces at the east of Bei Zhou. However, he encountered great resistance and had been detained at the three ces, Pingyi, Gaoyang and Jinyuan.
¡°Why haven¡¯t our army notice anything when hundred thousand men attacked? Is there a spy or...?¡±
¡°Wangfei, you have something you don¡¯t know about. Bei Zhou and Dong Lu always had a good rtion. There had never been war between the two countries. Near Yan gate is Dong Lu¡¯s secondrgest city, Yu gate. Since ancient times, Yu gate had been populous and affluent. Since the former Qin, Dong Lu had been worried that Yu gate would be other countries¡¯ prey. It had always been heavily guarded. This habit had be their surprise. Our army didn¡¯t have any reason to take precautions.¡±
Nn Xin¡¯s exnation made Feng Qi Qi understand the reason. Fo Sheng Men¡¯s forces were mostly in Bei Zhou and Dong Lu. So, the information they found were highly authentic.
¡°Su Yue, what¡¯s the matter with Xi Qi?¡±
¡°Miss, ten days ago, Longze Yu decreed Longze Jing Tian the crown prince. The war was proposed by Longze Jing Tian. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s proposal received great family Shangguan and great family Duanmu¡¯s support. Great family Shangguan had long wanted to take revenge for what had happened at Yandang mountain. This time, that Longze Jing Tian was able to be the crown prince was also because of great family Shangguan¡¯s support. It could be said that Longze Jing Tian was able to be the crown prince because he got the military¡¯s support!¡±
Hearing Longze Jing Tian¡¯s name, Feng Qi Qi frowned. This person was ambitious. She had long known this. It was just, she didn¡¯t think that Longze Jing Tian would use attacking Bei Zhou as a springboard.
¡°Who is the one that is leading the army?¡±
¡°Miss, the one who is leading Xi Qi¡¯s army is general Shangguan Wu Ji...¡±
Shangguan Wu Ji? For a while, Feng Qi Qi was silent. She and Shangguan Wu Ji were friends. She didn¡¯t expect that in the end, the two would be enemies because of the interests of both countries. It seemed, in this world there was no feast that wouldn¡¯t end. Many things were not to one¡¯s own volition.
However, between Bei Zhou and Xi Qi, between Feng Cang and Shangguan Wu Ji, Feng Qi Qi would certainly choose the first one.
¡°Then what about Jurchin tribe? Ten years ago, wasn¡¯t Jurchin beaten by Feng Cang into the desert? Why did Jurchin tribe gather this time in the north?¡±
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Wangfei: the main wife of the prince of first rank
Chapter 167 (Part 1) Ming Yue Cheng’s promise
Chapter 167 (Part 1) Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s promise
The three parties attacked at the same time. One could guess even with their toes that there was a conspiracy behind this. Someone certainly threaded a needle between these people and let the three parties reach a pact. So, this matter was so coincidental. Who was it? This was too sudden, causing people to get caught by surprise. The information wasn¡¯t fully collected. There was no way to know who was behind this.
Now, the only fortunate thing was that Nan Feng didn¡¯t participate. Otherwise, Bei Zhou would have been surrounded by enemies from all four sides. By then, even if those in power didn¡¯t panic, the citizens would definitely panic.
Dong Lu sent the army because of Xia Yun Xi. Xi Qi¡¯s excuse was because of Yandang mountain. Then, Jurchen tribe¡¯s reason, could it be for the shame of ten years ago?
¡°Wangfei,1 the Jurchen tribe had disappeared for ten years. There must be a reason for their sudden reappearance. Our information should be delivered within the next two days. This is all the previously collected information of Jurchen. Please, take a look at it!¡±
Nn Xin took out the information he¡¯d already prepared and handed it over to Feng Qi Qi. It was thick as the height of half a human.
¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, stay here and help me categorize the information. Single out the most important information that is also rted to war. List them separately. Nn Xin, our Moyu will go find out about Xi Qi. Dong Lu¡¯s information is for your Fo Sheng Men. I want to know all the intelligence and information about Dong Lu¡¯s sending out the army! Senior Jin Mo, prepare adequate medicine. Wangye2 may personally lead the army!¡±
Everyone was won over by Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arrangement. However, thest sentence surprised everyone.
¡°Junior sister, was wangye already prepared to lead the army?¡± Jin Mo had also guessed that Feng Cang may lead the army. He just didn¡¯t know which side he (FC) would go.
¡°Wangye didn¡¯t say it. I guessed it. The three sides are surrounded by enemies. Wangye can¡¯t go to all three sides at the same time. He would go to one. You, go prepare first lest there¡¯s no time.¡±
¡°Good!¡± When Jin Mo and Nn Xin was ready to leave, Feng Qi Qi added, ¡°Senior brother, trouble you to pay attention to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s move in the capital! Although Nan Feng hasn¡¯t taken action yet, but it doesn¡¯t mean that our area in the south is safe. I will also let Moyu¡¯s people pay attention to Nan Feng!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Seeing that Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t put her guard down against Nan Feng just because Ming Yue Cheng was in Yan capital, Jin Mo nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±
Feng Qi Qi browsed the information about Jurchen tribe all night long.
From the information, Jurchen tribe was a nomadic ethnic group and divided into four big tribes. The life of the Jurchen tribe was very simple at the vast grasnd in the north. They grazed in the spring and in the summer. In the autumn, they would plunder the south and go back to recuperate in the winter.
During the former Qin, the Jurchen tribe was a headache to the Qin. Although Qin had used marriage, food and silk in exchange for peace and tranquillity, but the Jurchen tribe wasn¡¯t weakened by this. Instead, they became more arrogant.
Then, ten years ago, Feng Cang led the soldiers to the north and prated deep in the grasnd. It took a year and half. Not only was Jurchen tribe utterly defeated, he also took down Jurchen tribe¡¯s Khan, Ji Sanggu Khan¡¯s head. Since then, the Jurchen tribe disappeared from the north and moved into the desert.
However, after apse of ten years, the Jurchen tribe called a hundred thousand men and went to the south. Ji Sanggu Khan was gone. Could it be that his children were leading the soldiers?
When Feng Cang returned to Tingsong building, Su Mei and Su Yue were still reading the information. Feng Qi Qi was so tired that she¡¯did down on the rocking chair. She held the information in her hand, but she¡¯d already fallen already asleep.
¡°Shh!¡±
Feng Cang gestured for Su Mei and Su Yue to be quiet. He came softly and quietly to Feng Qi Qi.
Looking at her appearance, she must be very tired. Feng Cang gently kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead, feeling heartache.
Just as he was about to cover Feng Qi Qi with the silk quilt, Feng Qi Qi woke up.
¡°Cang, you¡¯ve returned!¡±
¡°Mm! I came back to wash up. In a moment, I need to go to the pce again! Sleep more!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Feng Qi Qi was very tired. She wanted to sleep very much. Just as Feng Cang covered Feng Qi Qi with the quilt, dropped a kiss on her forehead and was ready to leave, Feng Qi Qi opened her eyes and stopped him.
¡°Cang, ten years ago, when you killed Ji Sanggu Khan, did you miss his children?¡±
¡°Ji Sanggu Khan had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was eighteen years old. He had already been killed by me. That year, the daughter was eleven years old. She¡¯d almost died under my sword. As for his youngest son, I didn¡¯t see him. He had been taken away. It was said that his youngest son was only six years old that year. Now, he must be sixteen years old.¡±
¡°Oh...,¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded. ¡°I just thought that without Ji Sanggu Khan, who could unite the four great tribes and send an army? Who would be the one leading Jurchen tribe¡¯s people this time?¡±
¡°It must be Taji Guli, Ji Sanggu Khan¡¯s daughter.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Originally Feng Qi Qi was very sleepy. Now, she heard that a woman led the army. Her spirits immediately went up. She sat up and wanted Feng Cang to talk about this Taji Guli.
¡°Since young, Taji Guli had been raised like a man. At three, she could ride a horse. At five, she learned equestrian archery. At seven, she shot a white bird of prey. At nine, she captured a white wolf in the desert and was known as the pearl of Jurchen tribe. Ji Sanggu Khan once said that this daughter of his wasparable to three sons. He also said, that if he passed away, he would pass the Khan¡¯s position to Taji Guli.¡±
Feng Cang sat behind Feng Qi Qi and let her lean on him. He massaged her back and shoulders to soothe Feng Qi Qi¡¯s muscles.
¡°Can a woman inherit the Khan¡¯s ce?¡± Hearing Feng Cang say that Feng Qi Qi was very curious about the Jurchen tribe. Although, from the history of the previous life, there was also a Jurchen tribe, but it seemed that the two Jurchen tribes were very different, ah!
¡°The Jurchen tribe had always admired heroes. The reason why Ji Sanggu Khan was able to unify the four tribes was because he was very powerful when he was young. He was also matchless at equestrian archery and very brave. Taji Guli was even more powerful than her father. At a very young age, her prestige far outnumbered that of her older brother¡¯s in the Jurchen tribe. It could be seen that the color blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo.¡±
The color blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo: the student surpasses the master
¡°That year, if it wasn¡¯t because she¡¯d faked her death and let me put my guard down, in this maind, there may no longer be a Jurchen tribe.¡±
What Feng Cang said, Feng Qi Qi had already learned from the information.
Taji Guli¡¯s muscles and bones had been injured by Feng Cang during that battle. She¡¯d simply faked her death by lying on the ground. Later, when no one noticed, she killed a soldier of the eagle troop, took his horse and escaped. Although Feng Cang tried to catch up with her on horse and shot her in the back, but in the end, she still escaped. He didn¡¯t expect that the little girl had survived and led the rest of the Jurchen tribe into the desert to hide.
Had to say, when she looked at the information, Feng Qi Qi admired Taji Guli very much. An eleven-year-old girl could actually be so strong, so tough and so unwavering. It seemed that she was a strong enemy.
¡°Cang, if the one who is leading the Jurchen tribe is really Taji Guli, then presumably she came here for revenge. However, now it¡¯s spring. Spring was generally their time to rest, feed the horses and herd. Why didn¡¯t they wait until fall when the horses are strong before going to the south? By then, they could also plunder and go back to spend the winter. Wasn¡¯t this always their custom? Now, they¡¯reing to the south in spring. Isn¡¯t this very disadvantageous to them?¡±
Feng Qi Qi asked so many questions in one breath. Feng Cangughed softly. It seemed that she really had read that information.
All that information, she must¡¯ve looked at them the whole night! This little woman really didn¡¯t know how to take care of herself! It was just, that she was able to see the critical point at a nce made Feng Cang had a feeling that he¡¯d gotten a confidante. Usually, women only knew the four corners of the roof and fight and scheme against each other. However, his woman actually knew so much. To get such a woman as apanion, how lucky was he?!
Thinking till here, Feng Cang¡¯s voice got gentler, ¡°Qing Qing, giving up the grazing time of the spring and summer toe to the south, presumably, it¡¯s for two reasons. First one is that Taji Guli was impatient to get revenge and wanted to take revenge for her father and brother. So, she didn¡¯t care for those. As for the second....¡±
¡°The second possibility is that she had absolute certainty! Someone surely went to the desert and contacted Taji Guli. The three parties agreed to send the army at the same time to let you be badly burned about the head and overwhelmed. Then her chances of winning would be much higher!¡±
Badly burned about the head: hard-pressed/ under pressure
¡°Clever!¡± Feng Cang tapped Feng Qi Qi¡¯s nose. ¡°Qing Qing said everything I wanted to say!¡±
¡°Cang, if it¡¯s really the second possibility, then the ¡®contact person¡¯ is really amazing! He instigated for Xia Jin to take revenge for his daughter and let Longze Jing Tian be the crown prince and instigated him to build his own merits to consolidate his position. Taji Guli was honing her strength for the revenge for her father and brother.... Cang, who do you think this person is? Could it be Misha?¡±
¡°Impossible.¡±
Feng Cang shook his head, ¡°Suppose Misha is Lian Sheng. Then, he only had the mind to look for Yi Lian now. A war wouldn¡¯t benefit him in any way. He also didn¡¯t have the opportunity nor the time to do this. Moreover, he¡¯s in Yan capital now. If he was the contact person, he wouldn¡¯t let himself stay in such a dangerous ce. Besides, our people have watched over him for so long. If there was something unusual about him, we would¡¯ve found out.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s analysis was justified. After hearing it, Feng Qi Qi nodded, ¡°It was just, if it wasn¡¯t Misha, I can¡¯t figure out who has such a hatred towards Bei Zhou...¡±
Seeing Feng Qi Qi frown, Feng Cang reached out to tten her brow, ¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t think too much! Hand these things over to me. What you need to do now is to go sleep! Yesterday, you didn¡¯t sleep for the whole night. I haven¡¯t hit your butt yet! Now, you¡¯re about to be a mother and you still don¡¯t know how to take care of yourself. Even if you don¡¯t consider for yourself, you should think about our child, ah!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qiughed shyly. She had been busy. She had forgotten that she was pregnant. No wonder she was so sleepy!
¡°Good! I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± Feng Qi Qi kissed Feng Cang¡¯s lips. ¡°I and the child will wait at home for your return!¡±
¡°Good! I will wait till you¡¯re asleep before going to the pce!¡± Feng Cang helped Feng Qi Qiy down and covered her with the silken quilt. His big hand gently patted on the quilt as though he was coaxing a child to sleep. Don¡¯t know if it was because Feng Qi Qi was too sleepy or that Feng Cang¡¯s technique was too hypnotizing, but in a moment, Feng Qi Qi was asleep.
Looking at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s calm and peaceful face, Feng Cang¡¯s heart became warm. The feeling of having a wife was so great!
He slowly pulled down the curtain and went to Su Mei and Su Yue, ¡°You¡¯ve also worked hard for the whole night. Go rest for a while! Don¡¯t tired yourselves out!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue stood up. Along with Feng Cang, they retreated.
After closing the door, Feng Cang called Su Mei. Su Yue knew that guye3 had something to say to Su Mei. She took the initiative to leave Tingsong building first.
¡°Su Mei, you and ah Kang¡¯s wedding may be affected by the war. Ah Kang wants your marriage to be postponed first and have the wedding when the war is over. What do you think?¡±
Feng Cang said this with great difficulty. Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t face Su Mei himself. So, he asked Feng Cang to be the middleman.
The moment she heard that it was Wanyan Kang¡¯s idea, Su Mei didn¡¯t think so much, ¡°Wangye, tell him, I¡¯m willing to wait for him! If he wants to go to war, I¡¯m willing to follow him!¡±
¡°Good...,¡± Feng Cang nodded.
When he went back to the pce, Feng Cang was immediately pulled aside by Wanyan Kang. ¡°Cousin brother, how did the things go? Did little Mei er4 agree to postpone the wedding?¡±
¡°You, this brat is lucky. Not only did she agree to postpone the wedding, she also said that if you went to war, she¡¯s willing to go with you!¡±
The moment he heard Feng Cang, Wanyan Kang almost cried, ¡°Cousin brother, this can¡¯t be! I was afraid of going to the battlefield. I...I was afraid of dying her. So, I postponed the marriage. Why was it that you went to talk with her, it had be that she was going with me to the battlefield?!¡±
1. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank
2. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank
3. Guye: son-inw, used by the servants of the female family
4. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 167 (Part 2) Ming Yue Cheng’s promise
Chapter 167 (Part 2) Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s promise
Feng Cang understood Wanyan Kang¡¯s words. Swords didn¡¯t have eyes on the battlefield. Wanyan Kang was afraid that something would happen to him and that he would have an unexpected misfortune. With Su Mei¡¯s personality, she would not marry again. Then, he would¡¯ve caused her harm. So, Wanyan Kang, who¡¯d originally looked forward to the wedding, made a difficult decisionst night and postponed the wedding.
¡°Ah Kang, you know Su Mei¡¯s personality. Could it be that you want to push her aside and bear everything including your possible death? Acting like that would make her hate you. Instead of worrying about the unknown things, it¡¯s better to think about how to lead the army and how to return victoriously.¡±
After Feng Cang said that, Wanyan Kangughed bitterly, ¡°Cousin brother, I¡¯m not like you! You¡¯re the god of war. Just throwing your name at the enemy would make them timid. My martial art is notparable to yours and I¡¯ve also never gone to war. I¡¯m afraid that something would happen and little Mei er1 would be a widow. Moreover, if it was you, will you bring cousin-inw to the battlefield?¡±
¡°I will...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s answer was unexpected to Wanyan Kang. ¡°Ah Kang, if Qing Qing insists on following me, then I will bring her. The way to make women feel at ease is not to let them stay anxiously behind and let them make themselves afraid, but to let them stay at our side and protect them as much as possible. Do you believe, if Qing Qing is by my side, mybat power would double?¡±
¡°Because my wife and child are at my side, I must use every effort to win and must give them the utmost safety! Ah Kang, our women are not ordinary women. If you¡¯re afraid that they¡¯re too weak to stand up to the wind and only let a man have tender affection for them, then you¡¯re gravely mistaken.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words woke up Wanyan Kang¡¯s bullet-headed brain. That was right, ah! How will Su Mei be the same as those ordinary women?! It seemed that he was too fric and made himself muddled.
However, taking Su Mei with him didn¡¯t mean he would marry Su Mei. After all, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have Feng Cang¡¯s confidence. He still needed to leave a way out for Su Mei.
¡°Cousin brother, I understand! Let¡¯s go, everyone is waiting for you!¡±
At the regent¡¯s pce, Feng Qi Qi slept until the afternoon before she woke up. Not long after she had lunch, Su Yue said that Ming Yue Cheng hade to see her. Feng Qi Qi quickly let Su Yue invite Ming Yue Cheng in.
Only when Ming Yue Cheng entered and saw that Feng Qi Qi was fine, did his worry ease. Bei Zhou was being attacked by Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe. Ming Yue Cheng had also just got the news. He had been worried about Feng Qi Qi and came over.
¡°Ming Yue, howe you came?¡± Feng Qi Qi invited Ming Yue Cheng to sit down and also let Su Mei go bring tea.
¡°I heard about the tripartite military operation. I was worried about you and came here. Originally, I was very worried about you, but now seeing that you¡¯re in good spirits, I¡¯m relieved!¡±
While Ming Yue Cheng talked, Feng Qi Qi maintained a smile, waiting for him to finish. Feng Qi Qi gestured for Su Mei and Su Yue to retreat and left them alone.
¡°Qi Qi, do you have something to say?¡± Ming Yue Cheng was a very smart person. How would he not know the meaning of Feng Qi Qi letting the people retreat? ¡°Do you want to ask me if Nan Feng is also involved in this matter?¡±
¡°Ming Yue, you¡¯re bing the roundworm in my stomach.¡± Feng Qi Qi smilingly filled Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s cup of tea. ¡°That¡¯s right! I always liked to be straightforward and don¡¯t like going around the curves and skirting the corners. I just want to know if someone came to ask you to join hands. What do you think about it?!¡±
Bing the roundworm of one¡¯s stomach: know what the other was thinking
Going around the curves and skirting the corners: beating around the bush
Feng Qi Qi being so direct was to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s liking, ¡°If I say that there was someone who came looking for Nan Feng, but I didn¡¯t agree and also won¡¯t agree, are you willing to believe me?¡±
¡°I believe you,¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded without hesitation. Instead, it made Ming Yue Cheng surprised, ¡°Qi Qi, why do you trust me so much?¡±
¡°Because your eyes won¡¯t lie!¡± In fact, Feng Qi Qi wanted to say, ¡°Because you love me.¡± It was just, these words didn¡¯te out of her mouth.
There were a lot of ways for a man to love a woman. For example, Lian Sheng, he loved Yi Lian and thought of every way to get her. When he didn¡¯t get her, he preferred either the fish dies or the splits and wouldn¡¯t let the other party live well. For example, Longze Jing Tian, his love had many material gains. Sometimes, he wanted it like this and another time like that. The centre was whether he needed it. For example, Ming Yue Cheng. His love was to support. That I love you has nothing to do with you. In Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes, love was supporting the other party.
Either the fish dies or the splits: a life and death struggle
He hoped for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s happiness. Even if he just looked from afar, as long as she was happy, he would be happy. Such a man with such a tolerant love in his heart, how would he take advantage and destroy her happiness?!
Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Qi Qi looked at each other. Her ¡®your eyes won¡¯t lie¡¯ made Ming Yue Cheng want to cry. She trusted him like this. How fortunate was he? This woman let people be involuntarily attracted by her and let them serve her willingly...
¡°Thank you...,¡± Ming Yue Cheng smiled at Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Thank you for your trust!¡±
¡°Although I¡¯m not in Nan Feng, but there had been someone who came to Nan Feng and mentioned the matter of joining hands. However, my people didn¡¯t ept.¡±
¡°Who was that person?¡± What Feng Qi Qi wanted to know the most right now was who was the ck hand behind this? Why did he had to deal with Bei Zhou like this? However, Ming Yue Cheng obviously didn¡¯t know the answer to her question. ¡°I was not in my country. That person has also left. I didn¡¯t know that there was such a secret behind this. After I found out about the three parties sending their armies, I have already sent the order to let them go find out who was the mysterious person who¡¯de to talk about joining forces.¡±
Feng Qi Qi nodded when Ming Yue Cheng said this. They may not find anything by going to investigate now. However, as long there was hope, she wouldn¡¯t give up. Thinking till here, Feng Qi Qi smiled. Her eyes twinkled like stars, ¡°Ming Yue, do you have the interest to do a business with me?¡±
In front of Ming Yue Cheng, Feng Qi Qi had always presented herself as a businesswoman. Now that she¡¯d mentioned a business. Ming Yue Cheng knew that this business was bound to be rted to the war. Seeing her so excited, she must have a good idea.
¡°Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s profit!¡±
¡°Haha, I will certainly let you make a lot of gold and silver!¡±
Feng Qi Qi took out the map and put it in front of Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°Here is Dong Lu. Here is Xi Qi. This side is Jurchen tribe. If the three parties attack at the same time, someone certainly threaded a needle between. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be so coincidental. Now, no matter if it was Dong Lu or Xi Qi, their focus is on our Bei Zhou...¡±
Feng Qi Qi painted two arrows at the borders of Nan Feng with Dong Lu and Xi Qi. ¡°Using our Bei Zhou as bait and attracting most of their military power, your Nan Feng could take advantage of this and hit them by surprise! I believe that Dong Lu nor Xi Qi would expect to see Nan Feng intervene in this matter and even more, would not expect that you would suddenly send the army.¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s proposal made Ming Yue Cheng stunned. It turned out that the business she was talking about was this! This was indeed a good transaction.
¡°Ming Yue, why don¡¯t we redistribute the maind?! The world is only this big. Divided by four countries is really not enough for everyone to eat. Why don¡¯t we let the world have only two countries, Bei Zhou and Nan Feng? What do you think?!¡±
At this time, Ming Yue Cheng was thoroughly shocked. Split the world into two. This woman said these words so easily. Did she know that this will set off a stormy sea?! The situation of the world was set with just a few words of Feng Qi Qi. She really was a daring and bold woman, and also heroic and fathomless.
¡°Ming Yue, Ming Yue...¡±
Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak, Feng Qi Qi continued to talk, ¡°If you think that the soldiers being divided into two routes to attack Dong Lu and Xi Qi would let the power of Nan Feng¡¯s army be scattered and failing to achieve the effect, why don¡¯t you pick one between Dong Lu and Xi Qi? By then, I will help you attract the other party¡¯s forces. When their forces are greatly restrained by me, then you could take them down. What do you think?¡±
Inside Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart now, aside from eximing in admiration, there was only eximing in admiration. Why was there such a woman like Feng Qi Qi in this world? No matter if it was divide the soldiers in two or focus on attacking one country, these were only the opinions a general who had spent a long time on the battlefield could put forward. Why was Feng Qi Qi, ady of noble family, like this?
¡°Qi Qi, you really surprised me.¡±
Only after a long time, did Ming Yue Chengment. Presumably, it was because the unusual side of this woman that had deeply attracted him and let him do everything for her willingly. From birth, such a woman was like the existence of a female emperor, making him unable not to crawl under her feet.
Ming Yue Cheng had some regret. He regretted that he didn¡¯t find the preciousness of Feng Qi Qi sooner and let Feng Cang grab her first. But he was very fortunate, fortunate enough to see such a beautiful side of her! If he¡¯d used extreme ways to plunder her, this woman would presumably never open herself to him and would also not let him see such a side of her.
It turned out that the two sides, happiness and misfortune, was just like a copper coin. Although he couldn¡¯t be together with her, but he was regarded as her best friend. He could stay at her side in another way and seeing her exude splendor was also a kind of happiness, ah!
¡°Qi Qi, what you just said, did you discuss it with the regent?¡±
¡°No,¡± Feng Qi Qi shook her head. ¡°He¡¯s very busy. I didn¡¯t have the time to tell him, so I told you first. Ming Yue, what do you think about my suggestion? We join hands to do a business, what do you think?¡±
Before, Ming Yue Cheng thought that these suggestions could have been Feng Cang¡¯s idea. Now, he truly understood that these were Feng Qi Qi¡¯s own ideas. The thought that she didn¡¯t tell Feng Cang first, but instead discussed it with him (MYC), this unconditional trust made him feel very happy.
¡°Good!¡± Ming Yue Cheng took a brush and pointed at the map. ¡°Since you said that I should select between the two countries, Dong Lu and Xi Qi, then I chose Xi Qi.¡±
Feng Qi Qi could understand Ming Yue Cheng choosing Xi Qi. Ming Yue Cheng had been a hostage for so many years in Xi Qi and was mocked by so many people. This was the time for his revenge.
It hadn¡¯t been long since Ming Yue Cheng had ascended the throne. Many people would think Nan Feng was not stable, that this new emperor would have a heavy work-load now from the matters of the country itself and didn¡¯t have the mind to care about other things. Now, they could take advantage of the scorn of these people and catch them unprepared!
Moreover, Nan Feng going to war was a good thing for Ming Yue Cheng himself. Firstly, he could shift the contradiction of the country and let the whole country face the enemy on the outside. Secondly, he could also let those hidden powerse to light. Nan Feng needed to use the army against outsiders. The people who oppose Ming Yue Cheng would be ready to make trouble. He could use this opportunity to eliminate them and this could also be considered a cleansing inside the country.
After Feng Qi Qi told this analysis to Ming Yue Cheng, Ming Yue Cheng sighed twice, ¡°Feng Cang getting such a woman like you was really a blessing he¡¯d umted in the past life! Husband and wife have one mind, presumably you¡¯re invincible in this world! It seemed that it was a wise move that I had chosen to be friends with you.¡±
Originally, Feng Cang had already used the army as a god. Now, he had gotten Feng Qi Qi, such a sack of wisdom. These two joining forces, let alone Dong Lu and Xi Qi, even if they wanted to get the world, they had this ability.
¡°Haha, Ming Yue, towards friends, I will extend the hand of friendship. Towards enemies, I will never show mercy.¡± Feng Qi Qi smiled like a flower, making Ming Yue Cheng be in a daze. He¡¯d lost the sun, he shouldn¡¯t also lose the moon and the stars. He¡¯d lost the love, he shouldn¡¯t also lose the friendship.
¡°I¡¯m d at my wisdom and that I didn¡¯t stand opposite you.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng said these words from the bottom of his heart. ¡°As for what you said about the maind only having two countries, Bei Zhou and Nan Feng, this is something worthy of looking forward to. Then, I hope we have a happy cooperation! I believe that in the near future, what you said woulde true!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng saying that, Feng Qi Qi knew that he approved of her ideas. Although she¡¯d said cooperation, but how would someone clever not understand that she was asking help from Ming Yue Cheng?! Bei Zhou were dealing with enemies on three sides. If the army was split into three, even with Feng Cang as the leader, the power would be greatly reduced.
Instead of hurting ten fingers, it¡¯s better to break one. Instead of being trapped in three sides, it¡¯s better to join hands with Ming Yue Cheng and ask him to send the army to ease the pressure on Bei Zhou. To put it inly, Ming Yue Cheng was giving them a helping hand.
1. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 168 (part 1) The return of Feng Xie
Chapter 168 (part 1) The return of Feng Xie
Such a clever person as Ming Yue Cheng, how could he not know the reason for it?! However, he agreed immediately. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t know how to thank the man in front of her. She could only thank him from the bottom of her heart, ¡°Ming Yue, thank you!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t think so great of me!¡± Seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts, Ming Yue Cheng smiledzily. He raised the corners of his mouth, ¡°I just want to take revenge. I just want to give them back the shame Xi Qi gave to me! Besides, if I watch with folded arms and Bei Zhou was split by the three, then, the next one they would want to eat would be Nan Feng. I¡¯m just preparing for a rainy day and n my own future.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng casted away all his true intentions. How could Feng Qi Qi not understand his excuses? It was just, some things couldn¡¯t be said clearly in the open. So be it!
¡°No matter what, I¡¯m indebted to you. In the future, if you need anything, just ask!¡±
¡°Then, can I ask now?!¡± Ming Yue Cheng walked forward and stared at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s smiling face, ¡°Can you give me your first child...I mean, let me be his godfather. I really like children!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t think and agreed to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s requirement.
After hearing this, Ming Yue Cheng thanked Feng Qi Qi, ¡°Thank you!¡±
Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng reached an agreement on the issue of Nan Feng¡¯s army. At this time, Misha was furious.
¡°What is going on? Why did Dong Lu send the army?¡±
After learning of the simultaneous army¡¯s movements of Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe, Misha felt that he had been deceived. Dong Lu sent the army? Who gave them the courage? If they really had sent the troops, Dong Lu must go to Peni Ind and ask for help, but he didn¡¯t get any news. Then, who acted on his own initiative and supported Dong Lu?
At this time, Jia Lan also frowned. This was the first time after he had a dispute with Misha that he came to Misha¡¯s room. It was really shocking that Dong Lu sent the army.
Dong Lu had always prized harmony. When things happened, they choose to endure. Usually they were soft as persimmons. Why were they so courageous this time? Take revenge for Xia Yun Xi? Usually Xia Jin was so weak. Even if he loved Xia Yun Xi very much, he wouldn¡¯t offend the leader of four countries Bei Zhou for Xia Yun Xi. Moreover, he wouldn¡¯t have the guts. So, what had happened during this period?
¡°Xia Xue, you still haven¡¯t gotten any news from Dong Lu?¡±
¡°Young master, not yet,¡± Xia Xue shook her head. It was reasonable to say that, if Dong Lu sent the army, Peni¡¯s disciplines in Dong Lu would¡¯ve sent the news over. However, the war already broke out, they still haven¡¯t heard anything. In the end, what had happened?
¡°I know.¡±
After a silence, Misha slowly opened his mouth, ¡°It must be Duyi¡¯s doing!¡±
Duyi was Peni Ind¡¯s grandmaster Taixu¡¯s second disciple. He was not on good terms with Misha. From an early age, he liked topete with Misha. He was very unsatisfied with Misha managing Peni Ind.
¡°This time, Dong Lu dared to send the army must be because of Duyi¡¯s instigation!¡±
¡°Eldest senior, then should we stop them?¡± Thinking about how Duyi opposed Misha, Jia Lan believed Misha a bit more.
¡°It¡¯s of no use!¡± Misha shook his head and revealed an innocent smile. ¡°Jia Lan, do you still not understand?! We haven¡¯t received any news. That means, Peni¡¯s disciples at Dong Lu had either been bribed or had been subdued by Duyi. Xia Jin wouldn¡¯t listen to us.¡±
Misha¡¯s analysis was very sensible. Jia Lan agreed with him, ¡°Senior brother, Duyi had always been dissatisfied with you. If he subdued the disciples and also instigated for Dong Lu to send the army, then what should we do?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s return first.¡±
¡°To stop Dong Lu from sending the army?¡±
¡°No...,¡± Misha shook his head. ¡°Xia Jin was disobedient. We should let him suffer. When he listened to Duyi, where did he put me, Misha at? Since, he decided on Duyi, I will let him lose some troops first! When he is defeated, he would naturallye to beg me!¡±
Misha said that he wanted to return to Dong Lu. Xia Xue was the happiest person, ¡°Young master, won¡¯t you look for miss Yi Lian anymore?¡±
Happiness could be heard from Xia Xue¡¯s voice. Misha casted her a nce, making Xia Xue afraid. She quickly lowered her head. ¡°Bei Zhou is attacked on three sides. No one has the mood...¡±
Misha meant that Bei Zhou would now fight against the outsiders. Wanyan Kang and Su Mei¡¯s wedding would be postponed indefinitely. He has many opportunities to see Su Mei. He didn¡¯t need to take advantage of now! Fish in troubled water is great, but it won¡¯t be good if by chance he didn¡¯t catch the fish and got his whole body full of fishy smell.
His backup was Peni Ind. Now, Duyi wanted to seize power from him to shake his foundation. After all, more than looking for Yi Lian, stabilizing his foundation and defend his own interest were the most important. Without a strong background, even if he finds Yi Lian, he wouldn¡¯t have the ability to give her happiness.
When he heard the name ¡®Yi Lian¡¯, Jia Lan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Misha, who is Yi Lian? Why had you been looking for her? Do we know her? I remember that there never was someone called Yi Lian at Peni Ind.¡±
Misha didn¡¯t answer Jia Lan. He also didn¡¯t want to answer. He just lowered his head and yed with his finger. He had a look of contemtion as if he didn¡¯t hear Jia Lan. Seeing Misha like this and seeing that he evaded his question intentionally, Jia Lan felt a gas tighten his heart.
He had asked this question several times. Every time, he(M) adopted the attitude ofpletely ignoring him. Since the seven-level pagoda, Misha let him pay attention to the women who participated at the tournament. Could it be that he came this time to Bei Zhou for Yi Lian? In the end, who was that Yi Lian who could let Misha put down the matters of the ind and rushed here?
When he thought about Murong Qing Lian, Jia Lan seemed to have understood something. He recalled the words Misha said when he (M) saw Murong Qing Lian for the for the first time and also his (M) care towards her. He (JL) also recalled the cruel treatment afterwards. Jia Lan seemed to have found some clues.
Murong Qing Lian was a contestant at the seven-level pagoda. When Misha saw her for the first time and treated her like that, did he take her as Yi Lian? Later, he wanted to kill Murong Qing Lian. Could it be because Misha got to know that Murong Qing Lian wasn¡¯t the person he was looking for?
The more Jia Lan thought about it, the more headache he got. Misha had never left Peni Ind. When did he meet Yi Lian? From the name, it was a woman. Could it be that his changes of these past few years had been for this woman?
The news that Misha was returning to Dong Lu, in a moment had been passed by Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people to Feng Cang.
¡°Want to leave?¡± Feng Cang crumbled the note. His fingers were clenched. The note had be ashes. ¡°Let people follow him! When he left the capital, listen to my order and then act on it.¡±
Although, the war made people be badly burned about the head, but Feng Cang still managed to smooth the things. Feng Cang would absolutely not allow Misha to leave at this time. Letting Misha go was equal as letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Let the tiger return to the mountain: to store up future cmities
Feng Qi Qi had said that Misha may be Lian Sheng. Lian Sheng who came from another world had received a wide range of education like Feng Qi Qi. One of them was military. If Misha supported Dong Lu and moreover provided contribution to Dong Lu, then the war between Bei Zhou and Dong Lu would be very difficult.
So, whether it was for personal reasons or from the perspective of the war, Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t let Misha go. Whether this person was Lian Sheng or not, he had put his eyes on Feng Qi Qi. He wouldn¡¯t have mercy!
Because of the sudden warfare, Feng Cang stayed in the pce. Until the third night did he return to Tingsong building. When he returned home, Feng Qi Qi had long been asleep. After he washed up, Feng Cang sat down on the bed. His big hand pushed away the hair on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. His heart felt very satisfied.
Originally, he thought that he could live peacefully and happily with her. He didn¡¯t expect that heaven made such a big joke. The war broke out. The world was no longer peaceful. He would soon set off on the battlefield. He hoped to resolve it in the shortest time possible and be reunited with his wife and child as soon as possible.
¡°You¡¯re back!¡± Feng Qi Qi opened her eyes. When she saw Feng Cang, she immediately sat up and hugged Feng Cang. ¡°Why did you return only now?! I¡¯ve waited a long time for you!¡±
She wasn¡¯t fully woken up yet. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice was sweet waxy like and was also like azy cat. Her whole body nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s warm embrace.
¡°There were many things to be done. So, I came back bitter!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s ten fingers massaged Feng Qi Qi gently. ¡°Was the baby well-behaved?¡±
¡°Haha, he¡¯s still small! Now, he is only a little tiny thing. How would he not be well-behaved?!¡±
¡°You¡¯re right...,¡± Feng Cang chuckled. He had roughly learned about the fetus at Jin Mo¡¯s. He didn¡¯t have the fear of before anymore. He held Feng Qi Qi and went to bed. He held her in his arms and smelled the fragrance of her hair.
¡°Qing Qing, I may go to war.¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words were expected by Feng Qi Qi. Such a big thing happened, Feng Cang surely would lead the army to war. She just didn¡¯t know which side Feng Cang would go to.
¡°Where?¡±
¡°I will go to Dong Lu. Ruyi will go to Xi Qi and ah Kang will go to the north side. Ruyi had followed me for a long time. I¡¯m not worried about Xi Qi. What I am not assured about is ah Kang.¡±
Feng Qi Qiy on Feng Cang¡¯s chest and listened to his heartbeat. ¡°Ah Kang also need to get some experience. After all, this country is their family¡¯s. You can¡¯t help guard it for life!¡±
Feng Cang agreed very much with Feng Qi Qi. He also thought so. Wanyan Kang had potential. With time, he would certainly be Bei Zhou¡¯s tower of strength. No matter if Wanyan Kang bes the monarch, the emperor or hold on the title of Xiaoyao wang1 for life, the stability of this country still needed him to maintain.
¡°Cang, I have something to tell you. After you heard it, you can make some adjustment.¡±
Feng Qi Qi told Feng Cang about the agreement she reached with Ming Yue Cheng. When he heard that Ming Yue Cheng was persuaded by Feng Qi Qi and wanted to send the army to Xi Qi, the hand Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tightened a bit.
¡°Cang, what do you think of my n? Like this, at least on the west side, our pressure won¡¯t be so big and we can alleviate the problem of insufficient troops.¡±
¡°Great! Very great!¡± Feng Cang had known as early as when he yed the xiang chest with her that this woman had a way at using the military. Although, they only yed chest, but it was military tactics on paper. Now, faced with the actual war, Feng Qi Qi dealt with it so properly making Feng Cang be amazed once again by the wisdom of the little woman in his arms.
Xiang chest
He was worried about the army being divided into three and would reduce the effectiveness of thebat. Now, with Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s participation and help, the pressure from Xi Qi would be much smaller.
¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯ve done me a great favour!¡±
¡°Cang, I¡¯ve done you a great favor. How are you going to thank me!¡± Feng Qi Qi raised her chin and looked at Feng Cang¡¯s devilish beautifully glittering phoenix eyes. Her eyes were full of smiles, ¡°I didn¡¯t help for nothing!¡±
¡°What do Qing Qing want?¡±
Feng Cang could guess Feng Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts. He would go to Dong Lu, she would certainly want to follow. It was just, she was pregnant now. It wouldn¡¯t be very convenient.
¡°Although I want to follow you to Dong Lu, but I¡¯m pregnant and is difficult to get about. If I go with you, you will certainly worry about my body and slow down process. However, it¡¯s a military emergency. If the armyes one dayter, the deaths and injuries of our soldier and our citizens would go on for one more day. So, I can¡¯t go with you to Dong Lu.¡±
¡°Cang, you go first. I will bring peopleter to provide assistance. If you can, give me a tablet to order. Perhaps, I can help you at a crucial time!¡±
It turned out that Feng Qi Qi wanted this. After Feng Cang heard her, he was very touched, ¡°I was worried that you want to go with me and was thinking about how to dissuade you. I didn¡¯t expect hat Qing Qing and I thought the same. Leaving you at home, I will be assured. I will give you the tablet of order tomorrow. After the army departed, youe slowly. Don¡¯t tire yourself!¡±
Feng Cang supported her ¡®the man sings and the woman follows¡¯ thought made Feng Qi Qi quite surprised. He didn¡¯t have male chauvinism to let her stay at home which was quite respectful to her.
Feng Cang seemed to saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s happiness. Feng Cang tapped her nose, ¡°You, ah! Even if I let you wait obediently for my return at home, will you¡¯ve listen to me?¡±
¡°No! I would go secretly to you!¡±
¡°So, instead of you letting me be more apprehensive, it¡¯s better to support you! Besides, with you being around and I being able to see you every day is also like giving me reassurance. I will also have more motivation to fight!¡±
¡°I knew you are the best! Cang, I love you!¡± Feng Qi Qi took the initiative to offer a kiss. Although, it was only a light kiss, but it let Feng Cang be over the moon. Sensing that Feng Cang became restless, Feng Qi Qi chuckled. She buried her head in Feng Cang¡¯s neck. ¡°Cang, you¡¯re so sensitive.¡±
The heating from his ear made the blood of Feng Cang¡¯s whole body began to boil. Knowing that Feng Qi Qi did it on purpose, Feng Cang seized her in his arms and didn¡¯t let Feng Qi Qi continue to disturb, ¡°Qing Qing, Jin Mo already said not to have intercourse the first three months. It won¡¯t be good for the child. I can endure...¡±
Thest three words, he said them through gritted teeth, making Feng Qi Qi in a good mood. She reached her arms and hugged Feng Cang, ¡°It¡¯s still our Cang who is good! Heehee, good night!¡±

Chapter 168 (Part 2) The return of Feng Xie
Chapter 168 (Part 2) The return of Feng Xie
Because of the pregnancy, Feng Qi Qi was somewhat addicted to sleeping. Plus the fact that Feng Cang¡¯s embrace was very warm made Feng Qi Qi fall asleep quickly.
Feng Cang put his hand on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly. A warmth entered his heart. After he¡¯s finished with the trouble of Dong Lu, he would certainly put down the matters of Bei Zhu and be an ordinary couple with Feng Qi Qi.
The next morning, when Feng Cang woke up, Feng Qi Qi was still sleeping. He was afraid that he would make noise and wake up his beloved wife. After he put on his clothes, he walked out lightly.
When he was downstairs in Tingsong building, housekeeper Feng Qi came over. He mysteriously said, ¡°Wangye,1 two guests want to see you!¡±
Who came looking for him so early in the morning? With this question, Feng Cang went to the study. But he didn¡¯t expect to see Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°Father? Mother! It¡¯s really you!¡± Feng Cang weed them in surprise, ¡°Weren¡¯t you in the Nan four states? Howe you¡¯re back?! When did you arrive?¡±
¡°Your father and I came backst night. We were afraid to disturb you. So, we came early in the morning. Cang er,2 are you going to war? When are you leaving?¡± Wanyan Ming Yue was very happy to see Feng Cang, but because of the war, worry was on Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s face.
¡°After your dad and I realised what Wanyan Lie had done, we had nned on visiting you. We didn¡¯t expect that on the way, we would hear about Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe. We rushed here without resting. How¡¯s the situation? Are you going to war? Ay, why was it like this?! How¡¯s Qi Qi?! Does she know that you¡¯re going to war?¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue was like all mothers. Although Feng Cang was only an adopted son, but she treated him as her biological son. In the past, Feng Xie often went to war at the south and north. There were many times where she was sitting in fear at home. Now, there is war. Feng Cang would certainly need to go. Then, what about Feng Qi Qi?
¡°Ming Yue, rest a bit first. Don¡¯t make it difficult for Cang er.¡± Seeing his wife act so nervous, Feng Xieforted Wanyan Ming Yue at a side. ¡°Let the child tell us slowly!¡±
Only after Feng Xie said that did Wanyan Ming Yue sit down, but her eyes were full of worry. ¡°In the past, when your father went to war, I feared very much at home. I didn¡¯t think that now it¡¯s your and Qi Qi¡¯s turn...¡±
¡°Mother, I will be fine.¡± Knowing that Wanyan Ming hated war, Feng Cang quicklyforted her. ¡°Qing Qing already knows that I¡¯m going to Dong Lu. She understands me. You can be assured!¡±
¡°Really? Then, it¡¯s good!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue was relieved. Then, she stood up. ¡°Did Qi Qi already wake up? I want to go see her! Although this child doesn¡¯t say anything, but in her heart, she must be worried about you! I will go advise her and let her ept the situation and move on!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue wanted to leave. Feng Cang quickly stopped her, ¡°Mother, Qing Qing didn¡¯t wake up yet. Wait a bit before you go, alright? She sleeps a lot more now!¡±
¡°Sleeps a lot more?¡± After hearing Feng Cang¡¯s words, Wanyan Ming Yue looked at him, ¡°You said that recently Qi Qi slept more...¡±
Only now did Feng Cang remember that Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. They hadn¡¯t informed the father-inw and mother-inw in front of him. Such good news was missed by the two in front of him. He really deserved to die!
¡°Mother, father, it¡¯s like this. Qi Qi¡¯s pregnant!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Now, it was Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s turn to be surprised.
¡°Big brother Xie, I, I didn¡¯t hear it wrongly, right?!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s voice got excited. She held Feng Xie¡¯s hand and her eyes showed disbelief, ¡°Big brother Xie, our Qi Qi is a mother now! We¡¯re about to be grandfather and grandmother!¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t hear wrongly! You didn¡¯t hear wrongly!¡± Feng Xie was also very excited. He didn¡¯t expect Feng Qi Qi to get pregnant so quickly. So great!
¡°Cang er, how¡¯s Qi Qi¡¯s body? How many months is the child? Is there anything ufortable for her? Did the vomiting begin? How is she feeling recently? A pregnant woman needs to eat more fresh fruits! She must bask more in the sun and shouldn¡¯t be picky with food! That¡¯s right, I need to prepare small clothes and small shoes for my little grandchild! Small rocking chair and toys, all of these need to be prepared! Aiya, don¡¯t know if it would be a boy or a girl. I should just make a pair of the clothes! Did you already begin to think of a name....?¡±
From the moment Wanyan Ming Yue knew that Feng Qi Qi was pregnant, she was very excited. She felt very guilty towards this daughter. Although Feng Qi Qi was a piece of meat that fell from her body, but from young till now, she didn¡¯t do anything for Feng Qi Qi as a mother. She wasn¡¯t a mother.
Now, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. Wanyan Ming Yue felt that this was God¡¯s gift. God had heard her guilt, so he sent this child. She must pay back all that she owned Feng Qi Qi to this child.
How could Feng Xie not understand Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s mind? She felt that she was not a qualified mother. He also wasn¡¯t a qualified father. Although Feng Xie didn¡¯t show his excitement as visibly as Wanyan Ming Yue, but in his heart, he was really happy.
Only after being happy for a long time did Wanyan Ming Yue calm down. ¡°Big brother Xie, didn¡¯t you have something to tell Cang er?! You talk! I¡¯ll go to Tinsong building! Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go disturb Qi Qi. I will just go see if there¡¯s something I can help with!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue happily went to Tingsong building. There were only Feng Xie and Feng Cang left in the study. Feng Xie walked to the map Feng Cang hung on the wall. His expression turned serious, ¡°Cang er, enemies at the three sides and the power of the army scattered, how do you n to fight this war?¡±
Although Feng Cang was known as the god of war, but in front of Feng Xie, Feng Cang respected him very much.
When Feng Xie was young, he went to war at south and north. Aside from Yandang mountain, he had never lost at all. He was simply a fabulous existence. Now that Feng Xie had said this, he certainly had his reasons. Feng Cang quickly told his father-inw about his n.
¡°Oh? Joining hands with Nan Feng was done by Qi Qi?¡±
After he heard that Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng had reached an agreement, that Nan Feng would help send troops to Xi Qi, Feng Xie stroked his beard andughed, ¡°Hahaha! A good move! Really great! Haha! The world split in two. To be able to say such words, she really is mine, Feng Xie¡¯s daughter! Arrogant enough!¡±
Feng Xie¡¯sughter was vigorous and filled with a heroic passion. After heughed, Feng Xie turned and looked at Feng Cang, ¡°Cang er, if you don¡¯t mind, I would like to lead the soldiers to meet with Xi Qi, this old friend. That year, although I failed on my own people¡¯s hands, but outsiders thought that I was defeated by Xi Qi. I¡¯ve held this in for long enough!¡±
¡°The method of Qi Qi is very good. We attract the main force of Xi Qi and let Nan Feng give them a surprise attack. By then, being attacked from the front and from behind, Xi Qi will surely be history! If you believe in me, give me a hundred thousand men. You don¡¯t have to worry about Xi Qi. You can deal with the other two sides with a peaceful mind!¡±
To Feng Cang, that Feng Xie was willing to support was a great news. Feng Xie used the army like a god. He also had so many actualbat experiences. With Feng Xie, this veteran in lead, Xi Qi would be gone forever.
¡°Father, you came just in time! With you here, I will have no fears of troubles in the rear!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know how to show his gratitude. If it wasn¡¯t because he waspelled by circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t have let Feng Xie go to battle. After all, the changes in battle were unpredictable and swords had no eyes. If something happens to Feng Xie, how would he face Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Qi Qi? However, the situation was urgent now. If it wasn¡¯t because there was Feng Xie, a veteran to lead, he really wasn¡¯t that at ease.
¡°I¡¯ve not been on the battlefield for many years. It¡¯s fine as long as you trust me!¡±
Mentioning the battlefield, Feng Xie was full of energy like a sleeping tiger that had woken up. It was like he wished he could rush to the battlefield right now.
Originally, Feng Cang intended to let Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue return to the capital after the matter of Wanyan Lie subsided and give them their innocence back. Now, this was an opportunity.
After discussing with Feng Xie, Feng Cang let people bring Wanyan Ming Yue. He went with them to the pce.
When the officials saw Wanyan Ming Yue at the morning court, they were dumbfounded. Who was this? Why did she look so simr to Feng Qi Qi and so simr to princess Ming Yue? When they looked at the person next to Wanyan Ming Yue, his charm and grace was so much like Feng Xie¡¯s. What is going in?
Dongfang Lan was invited to the hall. When the empress dowager told the truth in tears, the entire hall was shocked.
It turned out that great general Feng Xie wasn¡¯t defeated by Xi Qi, but someone had betrayed them! It turned out that the two hundred thousand men of Yandang mountain had died in injustice. It turned out that originally, it was a victorious battle?
Although Wanyan Kang knew that Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were still alive, but when he saw these two people with his own eyes, he was still shocked. He didn¡¯t think that Feng Xie was such a brave figure. He didn¡¯t think that Wanyan Ming Yue was actually so graceful...
¡°Great general!¡± When the generals saw Feng Xie they couldn¡¯t help but go forward to salute him. ¡°This subordinate greets great general!¡±
Whenever there was a qualified veteran, they were most certainly trained by Feng Xie. That year when Feng Xie had died a tragic death, many people were very sad. Some wanted to take revenge for Feng Xie. They didn¡¯t expect that he was still alive. How could the brothers who¡¯d followed Feng Xie for so long not be happy?
¡°Great general, so great! You returned. Lead us to war! All the brothers want to have a good fight with Xi Qi! Without great general, the war didn¡¯t have taste!¡±
This scene let Wanyan Kang understand what is the heart of the military and what is the soul of the military. In his heart, he felt more shame for what Wanyan Lie had done. In Bei Zhou, Feng Xie was an existence like the soul of the military. When he saw the worship and respect those generals had for Feng Xie from the bottom of their hearts, Wanyan Kang could deeply feel the meaning of the words ¡®soul of the military¡¯.
The emergence of Feng Xie let those officials, who were worried if the three battles could be won, also be excited. Feng Cang triumphed in every battle and won every fight. Feng Xie emerged victorious in every battle. With these two people here, there would be no problem for Bei Zhou.
Originally, those who didn¡¯t understand why Feng Cang got rid of Wanyan Lie and didn¡¯t be the emperor himself, now they saw some clues.
Feng Cang certainly yed some tricks on Wanyan Lie. He took revenge for Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. As for why Feng Cang didn¡¯t be the emperor himself, presumably it was also because of Feng Xie¡¯s teaching. Feng Xie¡¯s loyalty was well-known. The one who did wrong was Wanyan Lie. He wouldn¡¯t hurt the innocent. Now, after seeing Feng Xie, the officials were reassured. On one side, they didn¡¯t worry anymore about the war. On the other side, they didn¡¯t have to worry about Feng Cang usurping the throne.
The news that Feng Xie returned seemed like it had grown wings. Not long after, it spread throughout the whole Yan capital. The citizens who heard that Feng Xie didn¡¯t die were all very happy. The older folks still remembered the heroism of great general Feng Xie. Now, Feng Xie didn¡¯t die and had returned to the capital. How could people not be excited because of this news? Those people who were worried about the war, at this time, it was like they saw the moment of victory. With Feng Xie and Feng Cang here, nothing would happen to Bei Zhou!

Chapter 169 (Part 1) Killing Misha
Chapter 169 (Part 1) Killing Misha
In only four days, the n to fight against the three parties had been promulgated. Because of Feng Xie¡¯s participation, Feng Cang allocated a hundred thousand men for Feng Xie. Ruyi, who had originally nned to go west, now joined Wanyan Kang and led two hundred thousand men to the north. As for Feng Cang, he only took fifty thousand eagle soldiers. The destination was Dong Lu.
¡°Are fifty thousand men enough?¡± Feng Qi Qi hadn¡¯t experienced war before nor gone to battle. Now, she was about to experience those scenes of the dramas in real life. She more or less had some worries.
¡°My eagle troop can fight one against a hundred and speed is a crucial asset in war. With more people, the pace cannot be kept. If something goes wrong, it would be more troublesome.¡±
It was already April. The flowers had bloomed in the spring. Feng Cang had also changed into a white unlined garment. Feng Cang reached out and pulled Feng Qi Qi into his arms. His lips gently touched Feng Qi Qi¡¯s brow, ¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m leaving. Do you have nothing to say to me?¡±
¡°Eh...,¡± Hearing Feng Cang say that, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s expression was somewhat stiff.
Although she had watched many dramas where women would always cry at the moment of leaving, but she couldn¡¯t cry and also couldn¡¯t say those emotional words. After being nk for a moment, Feng Cang¡¯s fingers tapped Feng Qi Qi¡¯s nose, ¡°Usually, you¡¯re very clever. Howe you¡¯re like this today?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving the day after tomorrow...? Besides, I don¡¯t know what to say...¡±
¡°Silly!¡± Feng Cang deeply kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s lips. His tongue pricked her pearly white teeth open and sucked her fragrance. Only when a cough came from next to them, did Feng Cang release Feng Qj Qi. Only now did they realise that the one who¡¯de was Wanyan Ming Yue.
¡°Cough, cough, continue, continue!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue had made soup and came to see her daughter. She didn¡¯t expect that when she entered, she would see the young couple being sweet to each other. It made her, the mother-inw, feel a bit embarrassed.
¡°Continue! I¡¯ll go first! Drink the soup while it¡¯s warm!¡±
Leaving these words behind, Wanyan Ming Yue very sensibly left the room. She also closed the door.
¡°It¡¯s because of you!¡± After Wanyan Ming Yue left, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s soft fists fell on Feng Cang¡¯s chest. ¡°It was seen by mother! So embarrassing!¡±
Seeing Feng Qi Qi blush, Feng Cang chuckled. He held her hand and came to the table, ¡°Qing Qing, mother specially made soup for you. Drink it while it¡¯s warm! Be good...¡±
Feng Cang personally scooped the soup and fed Feng Qi Qi. He sessfully changed the topic.
After Feng Qi Qi obediently drank the soup, Feng Cang kissed her forehead. He excused himself to leave, but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi, ¡°Cang, are you hiding something from me?¡±
¡°No...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s gentle smile had sincerity, making people be indulged in it. It was just, Feng Qi Qi had long received the news. She would not let Feng Cang off so easily.
¡°Misha wants to go to Dong Lu. I heard that your people followed behind him. It seems that I also have a part in this! Could it be that you want to leave me aside and go get rid of him personally?¡±
Originally, he¡¯d intended to keep it from Feng Qi Qi and get rid of Misha in secret. He didn¡¯t expect Feng Qi Qi would have already gotten the news. It seemed that his subordinates had ¡®defected to the enemy¡¯. All of them stood on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. He didn¡¯t even need to guess to know that the one who¡¯d ¡®betrayed¡¯ him was Nn Xin....
¡°Qing Qing¡¯s people are really amazing!¡± Feng Cang was referring to Su Yue. A gentle spy could always obtain intelligence through the pillow. Nn Xin, this good-for-nothing, confessed everything in front of his wife. When he (FC)es back, he would need to let Nn Xin take a ss from him!
¡°Tsk, tsk, if it wasn¡¯t because I let Su Yue use the beauty trap, till when did you n on keeping it from me?¡± Feng Qi Qi put her hands on her hips and looked at Feng Cang with a look of ¡®you must exin it clearly¡¯. The gentle expression of just now waspletely gone.
¡°Aiya, I remembered, there was something you said. There were too many things happening these past two days. I¡¯d forgotten about it! Qing Qing, don¡¯t take offense!¡±
Feng Cang yed dumb, but Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t fall for it, ¡°In short, I must go today! Only I can determine whether there is a rtion between Misha and Lian Sheng. Besides, I need to avenge adopted father personally!¡±
Feng Qi Qi insisting like this, Feng Cang could only smile helplessly. With her temper, she wouldn¡¯t change the things she¡¯d decided on. He had already been eaten tenaciously by Feng Qi Qi. He could only go along with her.
When Feng Qi Qi had finished packing, Feng Cang helped her onto the carriage, ¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯ve some regret now.¡±
¡°Regret what?¡± After changing her skirt, Feng Qi Qi was dressed like a man in red and looked like a handsome young master capable of causing the downfall of a city.
¡°I regret pampering you too much, and now I can¡¯t do anything to oppose whatever you say.¡± Feng Cang¡¯s finger touched Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face. Although his expression showed helplessness, but his tone was full of sweet pampering.
¡°You¡¯re my husband. Of course you need to pamper me!¡±
When Feng Cang heard the word ¡®husband¡¯ for the first time, ¡°Qing Qing, what is husband? Is it also a new word of your era?¡±
There are many ways to say husband in Chinese. The more ancient ways were Ï๫(xi¨¤nggong), Àɾý(l¨¢ngj¨±n), ·òÐö(f¨±x¨´) and ÕÉ·ò(zh¨¤ngfu). In this sentence, the author used ÀϹ« (l¨£og¨ng), which is a more modern term. The literal meaning is old man.
Seeing that Feng Cang was so eager to learn, Feng Qi Qiughed and intertwined their ten fingers together, ¡°That¡¯s right! There, after a man and a woman got married, the woman would call the man husband and the man would call the woman wife.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the exnation?¡± Feng Cang had a strong interest in the modern society that Feng Qi Qi talked about. Now, after hearing Feng Qi Qi say that a married couple would use ¡®husband¡¯ and ¡®wife¡¯ to call each other, he felt that it was very interesting.
¡°It¡¯s to grow old together hand in hand and be an old man and an old woman!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s exnation was quite the meaning of this word. Feng Cang nodded. He murmured, ¡°Husband...wife...interesting! But, I still like to call you Qing Qing!¡±
¡°As for me, I like both Cang and husband!¡±
The two didn¡¯t forget to be sweet in the carriage. Su Mei and Su Yue, who were sitting with them in the carriage, seemed to have already be ustomed to the personalities of the two masters. Although they both had red faces, they still pretended that there was nothing going on.
Ever since Dong Lu¡¯s army entered Bei Zhou, Misha guessed that the one behind the scenes was Duyi. The group spent two days to pack and then started the journey to go back.
It was inconvenient for Misha to move. The pace was a bit slow. To return to Dong Lu as soon as possible, Misha and his group didn¡¯t use the main road. Instead, they choose the transportation of the river. Unexpectedly, this provided Feng Cang with an opportunity.
After determining that Misha would take the waterway, Feng Cang¡¯s people divided into two routes. On the water, there were people posing as fishermen and nipped on Misha¡¯s boat, while on the shore, the people tried to catch up nonstop. Only after half a day did they catch up with Misha. However, with Feng Cang¡¯s order, Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people didn¡¯t dare to disturb Misha. They only watched attentively in the dark and sent messages continuously to Feng Cang.
The ce where Misha and the group took a rest was a ferry crossing on the Red River named...Reishi Mushroom.
The rush made Misha¡¯s spirit feel a little worse. Jin Yu piggybacked Misha off the boat. Xia Xue pushed the wheelchair to the shore. After Misha sat on the wheelchair, the four of them went to a restaurant at the ferry crossing.
¡°Customers, please take a seat. Take a seat!¡± The restaurant was operated by a young fisherwoman. The one who run the errands was a little servant. Misha ordered some small dishes. A momentter, the servant served the dishes and wine.
¡°Eat! After eating, take a rest. Later, we still need to hurry on the road to hasten on with one¡¯s journey.¡±
Misha bit on the steamed bread and also ate some side dishes. Taking the waterway, because it was downstream, it would save half the time as going onnd. Misha wanted to return to Dong Lu as soon as possible. He would not let Duyi¡¯s conspiracy seed. Even if it was Xia Jin who really wanted to send the army, he¡¯s the one who¡¯s the great disciple of Peni Ind. Duyi should have no part of this.
¡°Servant, bring wine! Is there cooked beef? Bring two pounds!¡±
Misha had just began to eat, when three people came in. Misha knew these three people. They had taken the same waterway as them. They saw each other before.
After the three sat down, the servant brought wine and beef. The man at the head took a knife, cut the beef and poured wine. ¡°Eat! After eating, we need to hasten on our journey!¡±
¡°Big brother, this wine is really strong!¡±
¡°Right, the beef is also not bad! Lady boss, bring another two pounds of beef!¡±
Because of the arrival of these people, the small restaurant became lively.
¡°Young master, on this whole way, they followed not far behind us.¡± Xia Xue casted a nce at the three people. The three were dark-skinned. Looking at how they were dressed, they seemed like people who travelled everywhere.
¡°Perhaps, they were just going the same way as us.¡± Jia Lan didn¡¯t feel that there were any problems with these three people. This Red River wasn¡¯t specifically set up for them. How could they be suspicious of others just because they were going the same way?!
Jia Lan didn¡¯t know about the matters of Misha. Naturally, he didn¡¯t understand the thoughts of Xia Xue and Misha. From Jia Lan¡¯s point of view, these three very ordinary people from the jianghu1 were seen as problems in Misha¡¯s eyes, presumably this was the ¡®guilty conscience¡¯s doing¡¯!
¡°Lady boss, pack three pounds of cooked beef and ten steamed breads for takeaway!¡± Misha put a piece of silver on the table. He turned and looked at the three people, ¡°Here¡¯s not safe, let¡¯s go!¡±
When the servant brought the beef and the steamed breads over, Xia Xue took them. Jin Yu pushed Misha. The four were about to leave.
¡®Kuang...¡¯ They didn¡¯t walk two steps outside, a broadsword flew over and inserted in thend in front of Misha. ¡°What, you don¡¯t want to eat with us? Why leave so quickly?¡±
The ¡®head¡¯ of the three ate the beef. He swung to the four people. ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re looking down on us and feel that we¡¯re crude men and eating with us will be very noisy to you?¡±
¡°This big brother, I think you must¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± Misha smiled innocently in the wheelchair. ¡°My old mother is critically ill at home. I and my brother are in a hurry to return home to visit my mother. So, we¡¯re in a hurry. It has nothing to do with you.¡±
¡°Critically ill?¡± The man stared at Misha for a long time and then looked at Jia Lan. ¡°Pah! Who do you want to deceive?! You said you¡¯re brothers, howe you look nothing alike, ah?¡±
¡°One looks like mother and one looks like father.¡±
Now, Misha was certain that the other party came to look for trouble. He just didn¡¯t know why they were like this. Could it be enemies? No, ah! It was his first time in Bei Zhou. He didn¡¯t go out much. How could he have made an enemy out of someone? Could it be people sent by Duyi?
¡°Tsk, tsk!¡± The man held the beef in his left hand and wine in his right hand. With every bite he took, he would drink the hot wine to push it down. While eating, he smacked his lips, ¡°So to speak, it¡¯s also right! Since you need to hurry, I won¡¯t me you! You can leave!¡±
The man made way for them and went back to the restaurant. This was beyond Misha¡¯s expectations. When they arrived at the Red River, they discovered that their boat was gone. The boat they had hired had long disappeared. As for the boat of the three people, it also had disappeared.
¡°Young master, what to do? They certainly had done it!¡± Xia Xue took a sword and wanted to go back to cut the three people.
¡°No hurry!¡± Misha raised his hand and stopped Xia Xue, ¡°We change tond.¡±
When Misha returned, the three were satiated. They left the restaurant while hupping, ¡°Yo! Were you not in a hurry?! Why did youe back?¡± A man cried out ¡®surprised¡¯. ¡°If you still don¡¯t leave, your mother would die!¡±
¡°Did you do it?¡± Xia Xue coldly walked to the man. ¡°Where¡¯s our boat? Where did you put it?¡±
¡°Little miss, you¡¯re so young. Don¡¯t make it like your father and mother are dead. Who are you giving that cold face to?! Since you¡¯ve asked us, you should have the attitude of asking! Don¡¯t you know how to be polite?!¡± The man at the other side fished out in his ear.
¡°You...¡±
¡°Xia Xue, we will go on thend!¡± Misha pushed the wheelchair and wanted to leave. From behind him came a faint voice, ¡°Lian Sheng, you¡¯re leaving so soon. Don¡¯t you want to see an old friend anymore?!¡±

Chapter 169 (Part 2) Killing Misha
¡®Ka...¡¯ the wheelchair stopped and made an ear-piercing sound. Misha¡¯s hands trembled slightly. He didn¡¯t hear wrongly. He¡¯d heard someone call him ¡®Lian Sheng¡¯!
Misha turned around. He pushed the wheelchair forward slowly and went to the three people waiting. His expression was very excited, ¡°Who¡¯d just spoke? Who?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me, ah!¡± The dark man standing in frontughed. ¡°What, is there a problem with what I said?¡±
¡°What did you call me just now? Lian Sheng? How did you know? Who are you? Who¡¯s that old friend?¡±
¡°This, I don¡¯t know.¡± The dark man huped and rubbed his tummy. ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s find a ce to sleep!¡±
Seeing that the dark man wanted to leave, Misha acted. Four plum darts flew from his sleeve and hit the ground in front of the tips of the dark man¡¯s feet. Now, Misha didn¡¯t have the innocence of before. He put on a cold and serious face, ¡°Answer my question or die!¡±
¡°Aiya, I¡¯m so scared!¡± Misha¡¯s sudden action made the dark man surprised. Sure enough, leader (FC) wasn¡¯t wrong. These people were not easy to deal with. However, they were also not easy to deal with. A little plum dart was not enough to frighten them.
¡°What to do? You gave me such a scare, I don¡¯t remember anything anymore! What to do?¡± The words of the dark man amused the two other people and made themugh. ¡°Big brother, if you don¡¯t remember, don¡¯t think anymore! It¡¯s more interesting to think about beautiful women! Hahaha!¡±
The three people in front of him were obviously ying with him. Misha¡¯s lips trembled slightly. He also frowned, ¡°Xia Xue, kill without pardon!¡±
Misha¡¯s voice had just faded when Xia Xue¡¯s sword was unsheathed. A thin sword went straight to the dark man¡¯s throat.
¡°A very ruthlessdy!¡± The dark man took out his sword and blocked the thin sword. ¡°If you¡¯d killed your dark man (meaning himself), then you would have no man and would be a widow!¡±
The dark man was obviously taking advantage of her with words and eat her tofu, making the suppressed anger in Xia Xue¡¯s heart burst out. ¡°Looking for death!¡± The thin sword bloomed into a brilliant silver light in Xia Xue¡¯s hand. Xia Xue¡¯s figure was shrouded by the silver light of the sword. Every move was to take the life of the dark man.
Eat tofu: taking advantage of the other in a sexual situation
¡°Aiyaya, I didn¡¯t expect that this littledy with a cold face is so hot-tempered. It is really quite to this dark man¡¯s taste! I like littledies whose outside and inside are different! Why don¡¯t you follow me?! Although I¡¯m not a great official, but I¡¯ve somend. It¡¯s just, there is already a shrew. If I bring you home, she would certainly create a big disturbance. So, I can only let you feel wronged and stay at the other house and be my thirteenth concubine!¡±
Although Xia Xue¡¯s sword moves were arrogant, but the dark man didn¡¯t show any strenuousness. Instead, he blocked off Xia Xue¡¯s every attack. He still didn¡¯t forget to tease Xia Xue.
As the great disciple of Peni Ind, Misha was quite respected at Peni Ind. As Misha¡¯s subordinate, at Peni Ind, no one dared to speak like this to Xia Xue. Now, it was great. She¡¯d met such an ugly, loutish, and lowly man who¡¯d said such insulting words. How could Xia Xue not feel hate? Especially since the dark man wanted to let her be the concubine. Moreover, it was the thirteenth. Xia Xue was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
Xia Xue was wearing a white dress. The dark man was dressed in ck. Two people, one white, one ck, fought hard. The two other men watched them fight; they simply crossed their arms and watched the y at a side. They didn¡¯t forget to cheer on the dark man, ¡°Big brother, such a littledy as the sister-inw, don¡¯t know if you can hold your own! Looking at her thin waist and big butt, she looks very fertile! It¡¯s just, we don¡¯t know who of the two would surrender to the other!¡±
The words of the two men made Xia Xue even more furious. She only had Misha in her heart. Compared to Misha, these people were dog shit!
Xia Xue was being teased. Jin Yu wanted to help her ease her anger. He didn¡¯t wait for Jia Lan to open his mouth. He pulled his sword and jumped onto the two people who were watching the y. The moment the two saw that Jin Yu had made a move, they weed himughingly.
¡°Brat, do you want to fight one on one or in a group?¡±
Originally, Jin Yu had already made the move to attack. After he heard the words from these two, he was surprised for a moment. ¡°One on one? In a group?¡±
¡°Idiot, you don¡¯t even know this?! Do the people of Peni Ind have problems with their intelligence?¡±
¡°Yes! That must be it!¡±
The two talked like there was no one around. The words they said were enough to make someone die from anger. ¡°Listen, we will kindly tell you! A so-called one on one fight is you pick one of the two of us. As for the group fight, we two will fight against you!¡±
These words were very familiar to Misha. Now, he was even more sure that the three people in front of him must know Yi Lian. Because Yi Lian had once teamed up with him to teach others a lesson. Only Yi Lian could say such words.
¡°Who¡¯s your master? Is she called Yi Lian? Where is she? Did she let youe find me?¡± Misha pushed the wheelchair excitedly towards the two big men. He had never expected that when he was looking for Yi Lian, Yi Lian was also looking for him. Could this be the so-called fate?!
¡°What one Lian or two Lians? Now, it¡¯s still spring. The lotus blooms only in the summer! Peni Ind¡¯s people have problems with their brains. It¡¯s really like that! Nuts...¡±
Yi is a homophone to ¡®one¡¯. Lian means lotus
¡°Yes, nuts!¡± The two were like they wereics cross-talking. Misha lowered his hand. A leather whip appeared in his hand. ¡®Hoo....¡¯ Misha was extremely fast. The leather whip split the air and made ¡®hoohoo¡¯ sounds.
¡°Be careful!¡± One shouted, the other quickly dodged.
¡®Pa!¡¯ The two men, who had just been smiling, now looked more serious. Although the whip in Misha¡¯s hand looked like it was only as thick as two fingers, but the ground had been marked by this soft whip.
¡°Either tell me the whereabouts of Yi Lian or...go die!¡±
Although Misha sat in a wheelchair, but the motion of his body was very nimble. This wheelchair seemed like it was his legs and it moved to and fro in the small venue. The whip continuously split the air in the sky and chased after the two men, making it so that they could only dodge.
Danger! The two men exchanged a nce. They had long known that the people of Peni Ind were not ordinary. They didn¡¯t expect that even though Misha was physically disabled, his technique of the whip was so direct and efficient. Besides, it had full strength, making it so that they could only duck.
¡®Pa, pa, pa!¡¯
The leather whip chased the two big men constantly. It was not far behind them. Every time, it onlynded on their heels, so that they had half an inch distance to escape.
This man did it deliberately! The men understood that Misha was only ¡®ying¡¯ with them and didn¡¯t act real. However, judging from the deep marks on the ground, such a control would let people blush from shame. If he had moved forward just a bit, the heels of both men would¡¯ve surely been broken by the whip.
Jia Lan was baffled that they¡¯d suddenly began to fight. What Lian Sheng? Jia Lan seemed to have grasped some things, but he couldn¡¯t guess what kind of secret Misha was hiding.
It was just, now someone had used their hands on Peni Ind¡¯s people. As someone from Peni Ind, he couldn¡¯t watch with folded arms. ¡°Jin Yu, help Xia Xue!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Jin Yu pulled his sword and came to Xia Xue¡¯s side. Jia Lan pulled his sword and went to Misha.
¡°No need for your help!¡± Seeing that Jia Lan wanted to help, Misha frowned. He didn¡¯t have the thoughts of killing these people. He only wanted to deter them and let them reveal the whereabouts of Yi Lian.
Now, Misha was more than sure that these three certainly had something to do with Yi Lian. Because in this world only Yi Lian knew that he¡¯s called Lian Sheng. Yi Lian certainly let them say those words to him!
If they were Yi Lian¡¯s people and he hurt them, then, when he meets Yi Lian, wouldn¡¯t it let her look very bad? He didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for Yi Lian. He wanted to have a good start with Yi Lian.
Originally, Jia Lan wanted to help Misha capture the other parties. Although he didn¡¯t know what kind of secret Misha had, but looking at his expression, these three people must know something very important. Jia Lan wanted to help out. He didn¡¯t expect to be rejected by Misha. His face got red. He retrieved his sword and went to a side.
Misha blurted those words just now. How could he not know that Jia Lan was helping him? However, he didn¡¯t have the time to apologize now. He only wanted to know who Yi Lain is. Where was Yi Lian?!
At this side, the dark man dealt with Jin Yu and Xia Xue. At the other side, the two men somehow have no way to escape anymore because of the whip in Misha¡¯s hand.
¡°Tsk, tsk, do you think we should help?¡± At the entrance of the restaurant, the beautifuldy boss and the servant watched the y with keen interest and pleasure. The servant saw that the fighting had be fierce, he was a bit excited. ¡°After all, they are considered one of our own. It would be a bit apologetic not helping, ah!¡±
¡°Won¡¯t help!¡± The young woman cracked the melon seeds and spit the shell. ¡°Miss married so casually. We still haven¡¯t tested what kind of person guye1 is! This is the opportunity to see the ability of these people. There are no poor soldiers under a good general. If they couldn¡¯t do it, then it means that guye also won¡¯t do! Besides, we¡¯ve already done what miss ordered. We¡¯ve put extra ¡®seasoning¡¯ in their food. Miss didn¡¯t say to let us do something more.¡±
Knowing that the woman next to him was still brooding about Feng Qi Qi marrying Feng Cang, the servant grinned, ¡°The one miss has set her eyes on wouldn¡¯t be bad! But, you¡¯re right! We only listen to miss. We will do what miss has said. What miss didn¡¯t say, we should just watch the y.¡±
The two people from Moyu talked like there was no one around. Their voices weren¡¯t loud, but which one on the scene wasn¡¯t an expert in martial arts? Although they were fighting fiercely on the scene, but all the words of these two people fell into their ears.
After the dark man blocked Jin Yu¡¯s and Xia Xue¡¯s attack, he couldn¡¯t help himself from looking at the woman who was cracking melon seeds at the entrance. It seemed that these two people must be master¡¯s wife¡¯s people! They obviously said those words for them to hear! This master¡¯s wife was fascinating. She actually had such interesting subordinates.
At Misha¡¯s side, after he heard ¡®miss¡¯ and ¡®guye¡¯, he immediately retrieved the whip. Who was the miss they¡¯d talked about? Could it be Yi Lian? And who was guye? Yi Lian had married? No! Impossible! Yi Lian wouldn¡¯t marry! Yi Lian was his bride. She¡¯s his!
¡®Shua...¡¯ A gust of wind swept over. The servant did a back roll and thedy boss grabbed and gripped Misha¡¯s whip in her hand.
¡°Yo! You like to attack in surprise, ah!¡± Thedy boss rolled the leather whip in her hand. She revealed a tempting smile. ¡°Little brother, I don¡¯t like little boys like you. Too tender! Big sister likes men who¡¯re a bit older. Old grass could match my strength! You ah, don¡¯t have any ideas about big sister!¡±
After thedy boss finished, she pulled with her hand and directly moved Misha and the wheelchair two meters forward.
¡°Hehe, I will return this whip to you! Next time, don¡¯t engage in such surprise attacks anymore. Women care the most about their appearance! If you destroy big sister¡¯s countenance of a flower and face like the moon appearance, big sister will kill you and make wine out of you!¡±
The whip went the same way back. The strength was three times of Misha¡¯s.
¡°Misha, careful!¡± Jia Lan saw that Misha was sitting there nkly, and shouted; he ran forward and grabbed the leather whip.
¡°Misha, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Seeing Misha¡¯s nk expression, Jia Lan was startled. Just now, he¡¯d also heard the words of those two people. They put extra ¡®seasoning¡¯ in their food. What is this extra seasoning? Could it be poison? Could it be that the poison on Misha¡¯s body had acted?
Misha didn¡¯t bother with Jia Lan¡¯s concern. Instead, he had been looking at the woman in front of him, ¡°Who is the miss you talked about? Is it Yi Lian? She...she has married?¡±
¡°Ha...,¡± Hearing Misha ask this, thedy boss smiled and twisted her legs. ¡°Hehe, our miss is Yi Lian and she has already married. Miss let me pass a sentence to you...¡±
¡°What sentence? What does Yi Lian want to tell me?!¡± Misha¡¯s mood was like the tide of the sea now. Knowing that Yi Lian hade to this era, he should be happy. However, she actually didn¡¯t wait for him. She¡¯d actually married someone else! How could he ept this?
¡°Miss said, she will never forgive you, Lian Sheng!¡±
1. Guye: son-inw, used by wife¡¯s family
Chapter 170 (Part 1) You are Yi Lian
Chapter 170 (Part 1) You are Yi Lian
¡°Never forgive you¡±. These words were like a bolt from the blue, frying Misha¡¯s head and let his head make a ¡®weng¡¯ sound.
It turned out that she really hade...
Misha had fantasied many times about his reunion with Yi Lian. Whether it was crying tears of joy or feeling sad and sorrowful; all kind of scenes had yed out many times in Misha¡¯s head. The only thing Misha didn¡¯t think of was that even til here, Yi Lian still hated him a lot.
Could it be that he didn¡¯t pay enough by dying once?
¡°Where is she? I want to see her!¡± Misha didn¡¯t believe thedy boss. He had to see Yi Lian and let her personally say this sentence to him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t believe it.
¡°Our miss doesn¡¯t want to see you! Why would the newlywedded miss have the time to bother with you? You should save your time!¡±
Thedy boss turned around and wanted to go back inside the restaurant, but Misha¡¯s whip pierced the air and went straight at the back of her head. ¡°Yanzhi!¡± The servant shouted but couldn¡¯t move forward.
Just now, Misha had only used one third of his strength. Now, because of anger coupled with sadness, his strength rose to one hundred percent.
Sensing the difference in Misha, thedy boss dodged. ¡®Pa¡¯. The leather whip hit the wooden pir in front of the restaurant. ¡®Kacha¡¯ sounded. The pir snapped squarely in the middle. ¡®Hong!¡¯ The whole entrance was destroyed because of this one pir. One by one, the walls of the restaurant copsed. A momentter, this restaurant fell down in front of everyone.
¡°Misha, have you gone crazy?¡± Jia Lan screamed. He knew quite well how frightening Misha¡¯s full strength was. What does he want to do now with such a murderous aura? Could it be that he wanted to kill all the people in front of them?
¡°Jia Lan, get out of my way!¡± He didn¡¯t wait for Jia Lan to get close to him. A gust of white wind floated from Misha¡¯s left sleeve. It hit Jia Lan, making him fall onto the ground.
¡°Yi Lian, I know you¡¯re here! You¡¯re definitely near! Yi Lian, if you don¡¯te out, I¡¯ll kill all your subordinates until you¡¯re willing toe out and see me!¡±
¡®Pa!¡¯
¡®Pa!¡¯
¡°Yi Lian,e out!¡±
His hands didn¡¯t ck off when he shouted Yi Lian¡¯s name. The whip in his hand flew towards the servant. The speed was so fast that no one was able to dodge it. The whip twined itself around the neck of the servant and pulled him over.
¡°This olddy will fight to death with you!¡±
Seeing herpanion in danger, Yanzhi cut with her sword in Misha¡¯s direction. It was just, she didn¡¯t get close enough when that white wind faced thedy boss again. ¡®Pu...¡¯ Her chest received a shock. Yanzhi spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her body bucked like a kite without a rope.
¡°Be careful!¡± The dark man who was dealing with Xia Xue at a side flew forward and rescued Yanzhi who was about to hit the boulder. ¡°Don¡¯t mind me! Save him!¡±
At this point, Misha had already dragged the servant towards him.
¡®Ka!¡¯ Misha¡¯s five fingers covered the top of the servant¡¯s head. His face was full of murderous aura. ¡°Yi Lian, I know you¡¯re here! Usually, you¡¯re the most reluctant to hurt the innocent. Now, your subordinate is in my hands. If you don¡¯te out, I will kill him! I will kill all of them! Yi Lian! Come out!¡±
Misha¡¯s face was very beautiful, but his voice was hysterical. He looked anxiously around. He couldn¡¯t guess where Yi Lian was hiding.
¡®Ceng...¡¯ Misha used the servant to threaten Yi Lian toe out. At this side, the dark man¡¯s sword was on Xia Xue¡¯s neck. Even Jin Yu was captured alive.
¡°Hey, your people are in my hands. Let him go! Otherwise, I will kill her!¡± The dark man¡¯s sword was very close to Xia Xue¡¯s neck. A momentter, there was a touch of blood on the de.
¡°If you have the guts then kill me! Young master, Xia Xue is fine!¡± Xia Xue¡¯s voice was still cold, but the sweat on her forehead couldn¡¯t deceive anyone. It seemed that the drug in her body was now causing an effect.
After seeing the other party use Xia Xue to threaten him, Misha smiled. His child-like face had an innocent appearance. ¡°Good! Kill her! If she¡¯s dead, at worst, I¡¯ll find another subordinate. There are so many disciples at Peni Ind. Will I not be able to find a well-behaved ve?¡±
Misha using ¡®well-behaved ve¡¯ to describe her made Xia Xue¡¯s heart quiver a bit. Could it be that in his heart, her role had only been just that? Could it be that his heart really didn¡¯t have her in it?
Don¡¯t know if it was really the heart¡¯s doing or the drug causing an effect; although it was already spring, but Xia Xue felt cold all over her body. She also began to tremble slightly. It seemed that she would die here today!
Misha refused to let the person go. The dark man¡¯s sword entered a little more inside Xia Xue¡¯s skin. The blood slowly flowed along the bright de. After Misha saw this blood, he humphed coldly. A palm hit the servant¡¯s right shoulder. ¡®Kacha!¡¯
Just with the sound, you would know that the shoulder of the servant had been broken by Misha, but he clenched his teeth and didn¡¯t make a sound, making the people of Fo Sheng Men admire this person. However, no matter what, persisting like this wouldn¡¯t be favourable to them.
¡°Lian Sheng, don¡¯tmit more sins!¡±
At this time, a gentle and beautiful voice spread over. When Misha heard it, happiness filled him, ¡°Yi Lian, is that you?! Yi Lian, you are here, right?!¡±
Misha turned the wheelchair anxiously. He wanted to clearly see where Yi Lian was. In the end, a hundred meters away on a huge rock at the waterfront, he saw Feng Qi Qi, who¡¯s dressed in red.
¡°Yi Lian, Yi Lian!¡± Misha was very excited. He turned the wheelchair again and wanted to get close to Feng Qi Qi.
It¡¯s now! The servant pulled the whip away from his neck. His left hand pulled out a dagger from his trouser and fiercely stabbed at Misha.
¡°Overconfident!¡± Misha raised his hand and sent the servant flying.
¡®Poo...¡¯ Although the servant was caught by the people of Fo Sheng Men, but his body had been subjected to serious internal injuries. ¡°Quickly...leave quickly...,¡± The servant clenched his teeth and took deep breaths. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Although they didn¡¯t know why the servant said this, but Feng Cang also told them to not continue fighting zealously. The dark man knocked out Jin Yu and Xia Xue and made them faint. With the others, he left the area.
At the scene, Jia Lan, Jin Yu and Xia Xueid on the ground. Only Misha rotated the wheelchair and went forward with an excited face towards Feng Qi Qi. Only when Misha was ten meters away from Feng Qi Qi, did Feng Cang issue an order. Two rows of eagle troops appeared. In everyone¡¯s left hand was a crossbow.
¡°Shoot...¡±
The moment Feng Cang opened his mouth, those ck arrows flew like a ck wind straight at Misha.
The sudden attack made Misha stunned for half a second before he regained his wits. Misha turned the wheelchair with his left hand and avoided the first lot of arrows. His right hand waved the leather whip that was like a ck snake and hit the second lot of arrows onto the ground.
Those arrows forced Misha back to his original position. After he saw Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang standing together, Misha thought about the ¡®miss¡¯ and ¡®guye¡¯1 that woman had talked about just now.
From the stature, with one nce Misha knew that Feng Qi Qi was a woman dressed like a man. So to speak, she was Yi Lian? Then who was the one next to her? The one who could dispatch the eagle troop was only Feng Cang. Was this person Feng Cang?!
¡°You...are Yi Lian?¡± Misha was clear that those arrows of just now didn¡¯t want his life, but it was to not let him get close to Feng Qi Qi.
After apse of six years, seeing Yi Lian once again made Misha very excited. His lips trembled slightly. His throat was a bit dry. Although they were far apart, but Misha still saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s appearance clearly.
¡°You¡¯ve changed...¡±
The change Misha was referring to was the appearance of Feng Qi Qi. Indeed,pared to the Yi Lian from the past life, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s appearance was a lot different. If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Qi Qi had taken the initiative to appear, even if she¡¯d brushed past him, Misha still wouldn¡¯t have been able to recognize her.
¡°Lian Sheng, long time no see.¡±
Compared to Misha¡¯s excitement, Feng Qi Qi seemed very indifferent.
Misha was Lian Sheng. Although this had only been a guess, but now it was confirmed. Seeing that innocent face of Misha, Feng Qi Qi felt disgust. Such a cold, ruthless and thankless wretch had also time-travelled and he took up such a cute and innocent body. Really a waste!
¡°Yi Lian...,¡± Even though Misha was very excited, he could also hear the alienation in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice. It seemed that the woman of before was right. The words she¡¯d conveyed was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s meaning. She must still hate him for the matters of the past. So, even if she¡¯d found him, she¡¯d still refuse to see him. Why? Why did they be like this in the past?!
¡°Yi Lian, you...still don¡¯t want to forgive me?¡± Misha was eager to hear a ¡®forgive¡¯ from Feng Qi Qi, but he didn¡¯t expect Feng Qi Qi¡¯s next words would send him to the eighteenth level of hell.
¡°I will never forgive someone who¡¯s ungrateful and also killed adoptive father!¡±
Will never forgive! These words were very cruel! How long is never (forever)? Could it be for all eternity? Misha though that Feng Qi Qi had resented him for killing her. He didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d resented him for this. If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn¡¯t have done anything to adoptive father. Yi Lian respected adoptive father a lot. Now, she must hate him very much!
But, he also had his difficulties, ah!
¡°Yi Lian, listen to my exnation. Adoptive father was identally killed by me! I didn¡¯t do it on purpose! You have to believe me! Besides, I¡¯ve also repaid back with a life. Yi Lian, I repaid a life and lost a pair of legs. I¡¯ve received enough punishment! Yi Lian, forgive me, alright? We can be like how we were before, alright?¡±
Happy like in the past, good? Misha didn¡¯t say thisst sentence. He saw a deep ¡®hatred¡¯ from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face. That was a hatred like she wished to eat his meat and drink his blood.
¡°Yi Lian, I won¡¯t ask for you to fall in love with me. I only want to go back with you to how we were in the past! Even if you don¡¯t love me, but please let me stay at your side and let me take care of you forever, alright?¡±
Till now, Misha was still having such a fantastically beautiful dream, making Feng Qi Qi feel even more disgusted about Misha. Such a selfish person who¡¯d killed adoptive father for his own desires was unforgivable!
¡°Lian Sheng, don¡¯t dream anymore! Today is your day of death. Give your life!¡±
Feng Qi Qi jumped, but unexpectedly, she was pulled into Feng Cang¡¯s embrace, ¡°Wife, you¡¯re pregnant. How can you still fight and kill?! You should let your husband do such a thing!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t care about the way Misha looked at Feng Qi Qi. Such an infatuation made him very unhappy. Not to mention that Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. How could he let her get angry? Hurting her body because of such a person like Misha really wasn¡¯t worth it.
¡°Be good! Wait for this husband to take his head for you!¡± Unable to take Misha¡¯s obsessed look any longer, Feng Cang deliberately irritated Misha.
As if she understood Feng Cang¡¯s intention, Feng Qi Qi coordinated with him, ¡°Husband, you¡¯re the greatest! You¡¯re the best!¡±
The intimate interaction between the two irritated Misha greatly. When the words ¡®husband¡¯ and ¡®wife¡¯ reached Misha¡¯s ears, theypletely angered him. Impossible! Yi Lian wouldn¡¯t marry! She¡¯d actually married Feng Cang and was expecting a child? Misha simply couldn¡¯t ept this fact!
¡°Bastard, I want to kill you!¡± Misha screamed.
Not waiting for Misha to pull away from his anger, Feng Cang changed into a white wind and went straight at Misha.
¡®Ping pang ping pang¡¯. The sword in Feng Cang¡¯s left hand and the leather whip in Misha¡¯s right hand entangled in the air. Feng Cang¡¯s sword cut iron like mud. In only a few strokes, Misha¡¯s whip had been cut in three.
Seeing that Feng Cang hade at him with a sword in his left hand, Misha¡¯s hands mmed onto the handles of the wheelchair. The handles were hollow. Ten plum darts flew at Feng Cang¡¯s face.
¡®Kuang, kuang, kuang!¡¯ Feng Cang stepped onto the ground. His sword in his left hand turned into an illusionary huge mouth and swallowed the plum darts.
Fighting power with power. The plum darts fell onto the ground and made crispy sounds. With a ¡®go¡¯, the plum darts changed direction and went towards Misha.
Not good! Misha turned the wheelchair and turned around. ¡®Ding, ding, ding....¡¯ The plum darts were nailed onto the back of the wheelchair.
¡°Good skills!¡± Misha chuckled. He pulled out a nine-section whip from the right side of the wheelchair. Different from the leather whip, this nine-section whip was made from meteorite and was indestructible. And at every interface, there were two two-sided sharp daggers ced.
nine-section whip
From afar, Misha¡¯s nine-section whip seemed like a bared fanged centipede and made ¡®kaka¡¯ sounds in the sky. It made people shudder.
Seeing the improved nine-section whip in Misha¡¯s hand, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart jumped to her throat. Misha always liked to transform weapons. She didn¡¯t expect that he still had this habit. Presumably, this nine-section whip was not as simple as it seemed on the surface!
¡°Cang, be careful!¡±
The concern Feng Qi Qi showed to Feng Cang made Misha even more unhappy. In the past life, he had put in so much effort, but only got a ¡®you¡¯re my big brother¡¯ from her. Now, she had fallen in love with another man. Not only had she married him, she was also expecting his child! How could this be?! He won¡¯t allow it!
Thinking till here, the murderous aura on Misha¡¯s body became more intense. He wouldn¡¯t let Yi Lian go! Even if he let Yi Lian die once again in his arms, he didn¡¯t want to see herugh in another man¡¯s arms!
¡°Feng Cang, go die!¡±
Seeing that Misha had recognized his identity, Feng Cang¡¯s devilish beautifully face had a touch of an enchanting smile. Knowing that he was Feng Cang, he (M) certainly would be able to guess Feng Qi Qi¡¯s current identity. He must kill Misha and wouldn¡¯t let him have any chance to covet Feng Qi Qi.

Chapter 170 (Part 2) You are Yi Lian
Chapter 170 (Part 2) You are Yi Lian
The nine-section whip looked like a big centipede. It moved with an imposing manner towards Feng Cang.
When it nearly reached Feng Cang, Misha pushed the small button on the handle. A thick ck smoke emanated from the nine-section whip.
Yi Lian, you want him to live, want to be sweet and happy together, I won¡¯t allow it! In the past life, you belong to me. This life, you should also belong to me!
Misha was fast, but Feng Cang was faster. He had long known from Feng Qi Qi that Misha was a ¡®treacherous & vile person¡¯. Even when he¡¯d ruined his whip, Feng Cang didn¡¯t lower his guard.
The moment the ck fog appeared, Feng Cang back-rolled and dodged the ck mist that wasing at him. His body was like a dragon; he moved closer to the ground and then attacked Misha.
The ck fog spread. The surrounding area was enveloped in a ck smoke and wrapped around Feng Cang¡¯s and Misha¡¯s bodies, making the people on the outside unable to see what was happening inside.
¡°Cang! Cang...¡±
¡°Miss, the smoke is not poisonous!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue, one at the right and one at the left had their arms around Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms so that she didn¡¯t feel worried.
From inside the ck fog came the sounds of fighting. The collision of weapons became more and more intense. Feng Qi Qi also became more and more nervous. Although Feng Cang let her not be worried and told her that he would deal with everything, but now in front of her was a ck fog. She couldn¡¯t see what was happening inside. How could Feng Qi Qi not be worried?
¡°Feng Cang, I won¡¯t let you get Yi Lian! She¡¯s mine!¡±
Inside the ck fog, Misha screamed. Since his legs were disabled, he had been looking for more suitable ways to fight. The wheelchair couldn¡¯t rece his legs and couldn¡¯t be as flexible as his legs. Therefore, he could only change to something else.
For example, lead the enemy into his own circle. Let him and the other party be enveloped in the ck fog. This fog was made from special ingredients created by him. It could condense into small pieces in the air and let outsiders unable to clearly see the situation in the inside.
Even such a high skilled person like Feng Cang also needed time to adapt. He (M) didn¡¯t need that. Because of his previous trainings, Misha already let himself be shrouded in this darkness. This ckness was his cover.
Without a healthy body, he had to use other ways to prevail over the enemy.
Like now, Feng Cang, who was in the ck fog, couldn¡¯t see anything, but he had already discovered Feng Cang¡¯s position.
¡®Ding, ding, ding...¡¯ The daggers on the nine-section whip made crispy sounds in the air. That centipede-like nine-section whip quietly attacked the motionless Feng Cang.
Go to hell...Misha¡¯s face revealed a cruel smile. Yi Lian is mine! No one could steal her! ¡°Feng Cang! Go to hell!¡±
Seeing that the nine-section whip was about to be entangled on Feng Cang¡¯s neck, the darkness on Misha¡¯s face continued to expand. He wanted to cut off Feng Cang¡¯s head!
¡®Dang...¡¯Just when Misha¡¯s smile increased to the maximum, the sword in Feng Cang¡¯s left hand blocked the attack of the nine-section whip. ¡®Hula!¡¯ The nine-section whip wrapped around the sword like a snake. Because of the collision, the daggers on the interface made crispy sounds.
That his attack didn¡¯t hurt Feng Cang made Misha surprised. Not waiting for him to understand, Feng Cang flew in the sky. His left hand rotated and let the nine-section whip be tightly wrapped on the sword, making Misha unable to retrieve the nine-section whip.
A wind condensed in Feng Cang¡¯s right palm and attacked Misha. ¡°Not good!¡± Misha was shocked. He couldn¡¯t care any longer. His right hand let go of the nine-section whip. His hands mmed on the handle of the wheelchair. His body soared.
¡®Boom!¡¯ Feng Cang¡¯s right palm crushed Misha¡¯s wheelchair.
Without the wheelchair, Misha fell and rolled on the ground. He was in a very sorry state. ¡°Young master!¡± At this moment, Xia Xue¡¯s voice spread over. ¡°Young master, climb on my back!¡±
Xia Xue reached out and carried Misha on her back. ¡°Young master, use my weapon!¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s sudden appearance was like a timely assistance on a rainy day, solving Misha¡¯s crisis. Misha¡¯s left hand held Xia Xue¡¯s neck, but unexpectedly, he¡¯d touched the wounds on Xia Xue¡¯s neck, making her tremble in pain.
¡°I¡¯m sorry...,¡± Misha hadn¡¯t finished apologizing yet, when Feng Cang¡¯s next round of attacks came.
¡®Ping, ping, pang, pang,¡¯ sword collided with sword and made some sparks.
Xia Xue carried Misha on her back and moved in the ck fog. The two coordinated wlessly. It was as if Xia Xue was Misha¡¯s legs. She was able to escape danger with him and also deal with Feng Cang.
¡°Young master, hold well!¡± The pain on her neck stimted Xia Xue. However,pared to her bleeding wounds, protecting Misha was Xia Xue¡¯s most important task. Fortunately, when she and Misha were at Peni Ind, they once had many simr training sessions. Had to say, Misha was someone who prepared for a rainy day. He had put enough effort to ovee the shoring of not being able to move. Otherwise, now, without the wheelchair, he would¡¯ve died at Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
With Xia Xue, Misha was like a normal person. His left hand tightly held Xia Xue¡¯s neck. The sword in his right hand pierced fiercely at Feng Cang¡¯s key points.
Feng Cang had long known that Misha wasn¡¯t easy to deal with. He (FC) didn¡¯t think that he (M) had a lot of contingency ns. This pair of master and servant coordinated so well with each other, it seemed that they had done training in this area before. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have coordinated so well now.
¡°Misha, Misha...¡±
At a side, Jia Lan and Jin Yu, who¡¯d fainted earlier, gradually woke up. Originally, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to take the lives of the innocent. She only let Yanzhi add some drugs that would let people fall asleep in the dishes.
The fact that they woke up so quickly was because firstly, Misha had discovered that there was something fishy about the three men. They were in a hurry to leave and didn¡¯t get to eat much. Secondly, it was because they had a strong resistance to these types of drugs. So, they woke up not long after.
When Jia Lan saw the ck fog in the open space and heard the sounds of fighting from inside it, he was very worried. He was so anxious that he wanted to go inside and help Misha. However, he hadn¡¯t taken a step inside yet, when two golden threads flew over and blocked the way in front of him.
¡°It¡¯s you?!¡± Seeing Feng Qi Qi once again, Jia Lan was very surprised. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need to exin to you why I am here. However, I need to remind you, this is a grudge between me and Lian Sheng. It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t intervene; otherwise, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words made Jia Lan understand everything thoroughly. With a face of disbelief, he said, ¡°You...you¡¯re the Yi Lian Misha was talking about? But aren¡¯t you Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo Feng Qi Qi? How could you be Yi Lian?¡±
Jia Lan had many questions, but Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t have time to exin so much to him.
¡°I don¡¯t have time to discuss that with you! In short, don¡¯t intervene in the fight between me and him!¡±
Feng Qi Qi not exining made Jia Lan angry. ¡°Can¡¯t! I don¡¯t care what is between you two, but Misha is my Peni Ind¡¯s people. He¡¯s my senior brother. I can¡¯t not help him when he¡¯s in trouble!¡±
¡°Jia Lan, don¡¯t be someone who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you!¡± Feng Qi Qi was also annoyed. ¡°Before, when you¡¯d rescued Murong Qing Lian from my hand, I¡¯d already warned you! Since you want to be like this, then don¡¯t me me for not having mercy!¡±
The two golden threads in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands emitted a dazzling glow in the sunlight, making the other¡¯s eyes blur in response. After a moment of hesitation, the golden thread was wrapped around Jia Lan tightly.
¡°Hey, release me!¡± Jia Lan struggled, but he simply couldn¡¯t get rid of the golden threads.
¡°Don¡¯t struggle! This is golden silk. You can¡¯t break free!¡± Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t want to kill Jia Lan because she didn¡¯t want to be enemies with Peni Ind. The fetal poison in Feng Cang came from Peni. She happened to have helped Jia Lan and wanted to see if she could help Feng Cang.
Sure enough, the more strength Jia Lan used, the tighter the golden threads on his body became. In the end, he couldn¡¯t move.
¡°Let go of our sir!¡± Jin Yu saw that Jia Lan was caught. He anxiously chopped at Feng Qi Qi, but Su Mei and Su Yue weren¡¯t easy to deal with. The two fought with Jin Yu. It was just, Su Mei and Su Yue didn¡¯t like to fight. The two were experts in poisons. They directly used poison. In a short time, they had dealt with Jin Yu and tied him up tightly.
¡°Feng Qi Qi, are you going to provoke Peni Ind and be enemies with Peni Ind?!¡±
Jin Yu was caught. Misha was in the ck fog. He himself was tied. All this made Jia Lan couldn¡¯t help but raise his tone and bring out Peni Ind.
¡°Ha...,¡± Feng Qi Qiughed. She turned and looked at Jia Lan. ¡°Hadn¡¯t Peni Ind long been dissatisfied with our Bei Zhou? Otherwise, why would you instigate Xia Jin to send the army?! It was your Peni Ind that was heartless first!¡±
Jia Lan thought that Feng Qi Qi had misunderstood Misha and thought that he (M) sowed discord behind their back, making Xia Jin send the army. He immediately exined for Misha¡¯s sake, ¡°Misha didn¡¯t do it! We only just found about this matter recently. Eldest senior and I are rushing back to resolve this matter. We also don¡¯t want for a war to break! This was certainly done by second senior brother Duyi! You¡¯ve misunderstood Misha!¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect that the words would actually reveal the one behind Dong Lu, ¡°Duyi? You said that it was done by him? However, why would Xi Qi and the Jurchen tribe also send their armies? Could this also be done by Duyi?¡±
¡°We also don¡¯t know about this. When we go back, it will be clear after an investigation. Duyi had long refused to ept Misha. He definitely took advantage of senior Misha¡¯s absence this time to do such a thing! This truly has nothing to do with eldest senior brother! Don¡¯t aim at Misha!¡±
Seeing Jia Lan¡¯s expression that was anxious for Misha, Feng Qi Qi could determine that this person didn¡¯t lie. Indeed, the matter of Dong Lu had nothing to do with Misha. It seemed that they should let someone go investigate this person called Duyi. Who was it that contacted everyone behind their backs and let Bei Zhou be attacked by enemies from three sides?
¡°Thank you for providing me with information! But the problem between me and Misha has nothing to do with Dong Lu sending the army! This is our private grudge. He must die today!¡±
While the two were talking, the ck fog on the open space had almost disappeared. Xia Xue was piggybacking Misha. She was in a very sorry state. She was kneeling on the ground. Xia Xue took big mouthfuls of air. The hair on her forehead was messy. Misha was also not much better. Misha¡¯s left shoulder had received a cut. The wound was very deep. The capped bone could be seen.
In contrast, Feng Cang stood at the other side. His left hand was still holding the sword in reverse. The blood on the edge of the sword dropped on the yellownd. In just a moment, it was absorbed by the soil and became a ck area.
Compared to the sorry states of Misha and Xia Xue, Feng Cang¡¯s white clothes were still spotless. If it wasn¡¯t because the edge of the de was still bleeding, others simply couldn¡¯t see any traces of fighting on him.
¡°Yi Lian, your man is very good!¡± Misha endured the pain and looked at Feng Qi Qi.
Just now, he had heard the dialogue between Feng Qi Qi and Jia Lan. Feng Qi Qi...this was Yi Lian¡¯s name of this life. Sure enough, the one who broke the seven-level pagoda was her! Feng Qi Qi was the person he had been looking for!
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t look at Misha. Instead, she went to Feng Cang, ¡°Cang, are you still alright?!¡±
¡°I¡¯m very fine!¡± Feng Cang smiled gently, but inadvertently hid the slightly trembling right hand into his sleeve to not let Feng Qi Qi see it.
Chapter 171 Survived (1)
Chapter 171 Survived (1)
Feng Cang¡¯s small movements fell into Misha¡¯s eyes, making him somewhat understand why Feng Qi Qi would choose this man. It was just that he couldn¡¯t ept it. He wasn¡¯t inferior to Feng Cang!
It was just, no matter how unwilling Misha was in his heart, but it was a fact that he¡¯d lost to Feng Cang today.
At the maind, there was still such a deeply hidden skillful person. He had been too careless and made an error in judgement. The pain from his left shoulder stimted Misha¡¯s brain. The red blood dyed themoner¡¯s clothes on his body. At this time, Misha was thinking about how to get out of this predicament.
If he were to meet force with force against Feng Cang, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to win. Feng Cang had so many people. He was at a disadvantage. Not to mention that his legs were disabled and he had also lost his opportunity. Looking at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s expression, she didn¡¯t have the intention of talking and making up with him. If he was caught by Feng Cang, Feng Cang would certainly kill him.
No matter what, he couldn¡¯t die in such a sorry state today! He still had many things to do. He still hadn¡¯t gotten the person he liked yet...So, he must escape!
¡°Xia Xue, do you see that river?! Do you still remember how I taught you to breathe in water! In a moment, when I say ¡°Run¡±, you carry me on your back and jump in the river.¡± Misha whispered orders in Xia Xue¡¯s ear in a tone that only the two of them could hear.
One of Xia Xue¡¯s legs was fractured. Now, she could only kneel with one leg on the ground to adjust the paining from her ankles.
At Feng Cang¡¯s side, he had many hands that provided a great strength. At their side, Jia Lan and Jin Yu were captured. Only she and Misha were left. If they met force with force, Feng Cang¡¯s eagle troop wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with. She and Misha had suffered serious injuries. If they wanted to live, the only way was to use the Red River to escape!
¡°Young master, I get it!¡±
Aftering to the same point of view with Xia Xue, Misha tried hard to make his state look better.
Heughingly called out Feng Qi Qi¡¯s name. His voice was soft like a gentle cow¡¯s milk. It was full of temptation, ¡°Yi Lian, I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯re Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Feng Qi Qi! I had searched so long for you but couldn¡¯t find you. Instead, I was first found by you! Tell me, don¡¯t you think this is fate?! Could it be that you don¡¯t want to know why I came here?¡±
Misha looked pale, but it didn¡¯t ruin his handsome face. Even though there was ayer of sweat on his forehead, but he still maintained excellent manners and had an innocent smile, acting as if his left shoulder was intact and he hadn¡¯t suffered any injuries.
¡°I have no interest in your affairs...¡±
¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not that you aren¡¯t interested. You¡¯re afraid! You¡¯re afraid of seeing me, because I am the only witness to your past. You don¡¯t want to face the past. You¡¯re afraid to face my affection. You¡¯re afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it!¡± Misha coughed twice. Although his face was very pale, but the smile on his mouth kept expanding.
¡°Yi Lian, do you know, after killing you, I held you and kept youpany for three days and three nights. Originally, I wanted to put you in the crystal coffin. Like that, you would belong to me forever. However,ter I discovered something fishy! As...the temperature of your body disappeared, I realized that your soul had left your body. I didn¡¯t want a body without a soul! So, Imitted suicide!¡±
¡°Pa...,¡± Mish made a sound of gunshot. His hand pulled out a ck thing from his chest.
¡°Gun!¡± After Feng Qi Qi saw that object in Misha¡¯s hand, she shouted. She immediately moved in front of Feng Cang.
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s behaviour let Misha thoroughly understand that she really had fallen in love with this man and that she really didn¡¯t belong to him (M). In the future, there wouldn¡¯t be even a tiny bit of thought about him (M)! Because another man had entered her heart. He didn¡¯t have a chance anymore!
His heart felt very sore. Misha felt the twitching pain of his heart. The kind of pain that would make one unable to breathe. The feeling was actually so ufortable.
Even in the past life, after he¡¯d killed Yi Lian, he wasn¡¯t hurt as much. Because the Yi Lian of that time didn¡¯t have a man around her. Her heart also wasn¡¯t hiding someone else. So, whether it was her body or heart, in the end, it all belonged to him, Lian Sheng¡¯s. Even if the thing he got was her body, but everything till death about her was clean and pure.
Now, she had put down her life and death to stop the bullet for another man. It could be seen how important this man was in her heart.
Yi Lian, could it be that you had really never had loved me for a little bit? Even if it was only a little bit? Even a little bit was good...
Xia Xue obviously felt the slight trembling of Misha on her back. Perhaps, it was because of the loss of too much blood; he must be feeling cold. Perhaps, it was because of Yi Lian, who¡¯s dressed like a man in front of her. The slight sadness emitting from Misha¡¯s body shrouded Misha and let her feel heartache for him.
Young master, Xia Xue is willing to stay with you for her whole life! Young master, don¡¯t be sad for an unworthy woman, alright?
These words settled in Xia Xue¡¯s heart for a long time. She had long wanted to say these words to Misha, but she didn¡¯t dare to. Even now, Misha¡¯s sadness let her feel so much pain for him that she wanted to hug andfort him, but she still couldn¡¯t say those words. Because, she didn¡¯t dare to...She was afraid that if she said it, she would be driven away by Misha.
This man, no matter if he was asleep or awake, the one he¡¯d kept in mind constantly was Yi Lian. If she wanted to substitute and take Yi Lian¡¯s ce, Misha would certainly get angry! So, it was better to stay with him like this. When he needed it, piggyback him like this and do things to the best of her ability. To be able to stay with Misha like this was her happiness.
¡°Yi Lian...,¡± Misha took a breath and aimed the gun at his head. His smile was bright like the sunshine, ¡°That time, I ended my life like this! Killing you, I repaid you a life. I thought that you would forgive me now...Yi Lian, do you really not want to give me a chance?¡±
¡°I will never forgive you. Lian Sheng, when you killed adoptive father, we¡¯d already broken all ties. Adoptive father brought me up and treated me like a biological daughter. You¡¯d actually killed adoptive father, who¡¯d worked hard to educate us. I definitely won¡¯t forgive you!¡±
In Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, Misha was a crazy madman. She didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with him! However, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect that Misha, this madman, had actually made a gun! If he produced the modern destructive weapon in massive scale, wouldn¡¯t this world be in a mess? No, she couldn¡¯t let Misha, this madman, destroy the world!
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Hearing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words, Mishaughed till his tears came out. Two rows of clear tears rolled down along Misha¡¯s cheeks, making Misha¡¯s eyes be two deep pools of water.
¡®Shua...¡¯ Misha changed his soft appearance of before. He looked malevolently at Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang. His uninjured hand raised the gun and pointed it at Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Since you hate me so much; since you will never forgive me; since you will never fall in love with me...Then, I don¡¯t mind using the previous way to treat you! Since, you won¡¯t be mine alive, then, I want to let you die in my arms!¡±
¡°Get down!¡±
Misha was so crazy. Feng Qi Qi pulled Feng Cang down. Su Mei and Su Yue also got down.
It was now!
¡°Run!¡± Misha issued an order. Xia Xue gritted her teeth, dragged her broken foot and ran while carrying Misha to the Red River.
¡°Miss, they want to escape!¡± Su Mei wanted to pursue Misha urgently, but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi. Whether the gun in Misha¡¯s hand was real or fake, she couldn¡¯t let her people risk themselves.
¡®Thump....¡¯
Xia Xue jumped with Misha into the billowing Red River¡¯s water. The flow of the river was smooth. Soon, they surfaced.
¡°Yi Lian, I won¡¯t let go! I will return!¡± Misha hugged Xia Xue¡¯s neck and looked at Feng Qi Qi standing on the shore. ¡°Yi Lian, you belong to me! I will not give up!¡±
Misha¡¯s words made Feng Cang furious. He didn¡¯t care about those worries of Feng Qi Qi. Feng Cang stood up and reached out, ¡°Bring me the bow and arrow!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Immediately, the eagle troop¡¯s soldiers brought a big bow. Feng Cang jumped on the horse. Travelling along the river, he nearly caught up with them.
¡°Cang! Watch out for the weapon in his hand!¡±
Feng Cang being like this made Feng Qi Qi anxious. She grabbed a horse and chased after him.
¡°Young master, they came. What should we do?¡± Xia Xue swam very hard, but unfortunately, the river was calm. Not a momentter, Feng Cang had almost caught up to them.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Misha clenched his teeth. His injured left hand clutched Xia Xue tightly. The gun in his right aimed at Feng Cang.
¡°Cang...,¡± Feng Qi Qi, who was chasing after him, screamed. Feng Cang immediately stopped. The slender bow was pulled fully by Feng Cang. The sunlight spread over Feng Cang¡¯s body. His expression was serious. He looked like an immortal.
¡®Sou...¡¯ The sharp arrow flew straight towards Misha.
¡°Young master, be careful!¡±
Seeing the arrowe closer, Xia Xue instinctively blocked in front of Misha.
¡®Poo...¡¯ The arrow stabbed into Xia Xue¡¯s right shoulder, making her bite her lip from pain. ¡°Bastard!¡± Seeing that Feng Cang had hurt Xia Xue, Misha was very angry. If the weapon in his hand was real, he certainly would have taken Feng Cang¡¯s life with a bullet.
At this time, Feng Qi Qi had reached Feng Cang¡¯s side. The situation she was expecting didn¡¯t happen, making Feng Qi Qi feel very surprised. By Misha¡¯s personality, he certainly would have shot Feng Cang and killed him. Why didn¡¯t he do it? Could it be that the weapon was fake?!
Seeing Misha¡¯s sullen face that was full of hatred, Feng Qi Qi affirmed her thought, ¡°Cang, the weapon is fake! Kill him!¡±
¡°I got it!¡± Feng Cang pulled the bow twice. Wind blew past his face. The ck hair on his forehead swayed. ¡°Launch!¡±
¡°Young master, you go...,¡± Xia Xue pushed Misha away. She wanted to let him go first, but this time, Misha grabbed her tightly.
¡°Young master...¡±
¡°I won¡¯t abandon you! You said that you wanted to serve me for life. You¡¯re not allowed to lie!¡±
Misha¡¯s voice just fell, when the sharp arrow was already in front of them. ¡°Ah...¡± Only a scream was heard. The arrow stabbed Misha straight into his left eye.
¡°Young master!¡± Xia Xue screamed when she saw that. ¡°Young master! Young master!¡±
Yi Lian...Misha deeply looked at Feng Qi Qi once. In his eyes, there was too much unwillingness!
¡°Young master!¡±
The two sank in the river. The surface of the water was contaminated with red blood.
They waited for a long time, but no one came to the surface. Feng Cang put down the bow in his hand. The eagle troop also came over.
¡°You, take a thousand people and search along the riverside! I need to see the body if he¡¯s alive. See the corpse if he¡¯s dead!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The miserable state of Misha and the unwillingness in his eyes made Feng Qi Qi silent for a long time. Only when Feng Cang came over and held her did she recover, ¡°Qing Qing, I¡¯m sorry! Originally, I could¡¯ve taken his life. I didn¡¯t think I would miss!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words held a deep guilt. Now, he¡¯d only hurt Misha¡¯s eyes. If he could escape this cmity, he would definitelye back and counterattack madly.
¡°It¡¯s fine! Nothing will happen to us!¡±
Feng Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms and sighed softly. She hoped that Misha wouldn¡¯t have the chance to turn around his fortune. Otherwise, she didn¡¯t know what would happen in the future.
When they went back to the ferry crossing, Feng Qi Qi let Su Mei feed Jia Lan and Jin Yu a pill. Then, she let Su Mei untie them.
¡°What did you let us eat?¡± Jin Yu put his finger in his throat and wanted to throw it up, but that pill had melted the moment it¡¯d entered the mouth. He couldn¡¯t throw it up.
¡°Free and Unfettered pill.¡±
¡°Lian gongzi¡¯s1 Free and Unfettered pill?¡± Jia Lan had heard about the Free and Unfettered pill. It was said that the one who took the Free and unfettered pill would need to take an antidote every month. Otherwise, he would slowly begin to decay, starting from the internal organs. Finally, this person would rot into yellow water. Although it was called Free and Unfettered pill, but the meaning was the contrary of its name. Those who took the Free and Unfettered pill won¡¯t have a free and unfettered life anymore. So, this name was aplete irony.
After mentioning Lian gongzi, Jia Lan suddenly linked him with Yi Lian. The way he looked at Feng Qi Qi began to deepen, ¡°You¡¯re Yi Lian and Lian gongzi?¡±
¡°Clever!¡±
¡°What do you want to do? I don¡¯t know what kind of grudge is between you and Misha, but you¡¯ve hurt someone from Peni Ind, you¡¯re my enemy! I won¡¯t follow you obediently just because I took a Free and Unfettered pill!¡±
Jia Lan said so much in one go. Feng Qi Qi simply crossed her arms and let Jia Lan finish venting all his discontent.
¡°Are you finished? If you¡¯re finished, look at someone for me!¡± Feng Qi Qi grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s left hand and put it in front of Jia Lan.
¡°What are you doing? Aren¡¯t your medical skills very high?! What, is there a disease in this world that you can¡¯t cure?¡±
¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡± Su Mei put a sword on Jia Lan¡¯s neck. ¡°Just listen to whatever miss say! Talking so much nonsense like a girl!¡±
Being scolded by Su Mei, Jia Lan¡¯s face turned ck. He ignored Feng Qi Qi, but was dragged by Su Mei to Feng Qi Qi, ¡°Letting you treat our guye2 is an honor to you! Don¡¯t say that a disciple of Peni Ind doesn¡¯t know how to check a pulse!¡±
Although Jia Lan wanted to be hard-hearted, but he also knew themon saying: a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Unwillingly, he put his hand on Feng Cang¡¯s wrist. It didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t check, but the moment he checked the pulse, Jia Lan suddenly raised his head and looked with surprise at Feng Cang. But, no matter how, he couldn¡¯t see this person¡¯s rtionship with Peni Ind.
¡°How did you get Forget Love? Forget Love is only found at Peni Ind. When did you go to Peni Ind? Or is it that you have a rtionship with Peni Ind?¡±
¡°Forget Love?¡± This name was very unfamiliar. Everyone looked at Jia Lan. They waited for his exnation, but Jia Lan had to ask for Feng Cang¡¯s past. Forget Love was a knockout drop from Peni Ind. Why did Feng Cang¡¯s body have it? Could it be that he was a disciple of Peni Ind and had a secret mission in the maind? Why hadn¡¯t he heard of Feng Cang?
¡°My mother had this poison in her. Later, when I was in her womb, the poison was passed onto me.¡±
Feng Cang simply exined the origin of this poison.
¡°What rtion did your mother have with Peni Ind? Always, it had only been, it had only been....¡± Jia Lan swallowed the words he wanted to say. Always, it had only been Peni¡¯s female disciples who¡¯d married outsiders...Dong Lu¡¯s empress, who had been poisoned with Forget Love. However, Feng Cang is Bei Zhou¡¯s wangye.3 When had he formed a rtionship with Dong Lu?
¡°Exin clearly, ah! Really making people anxious! To hum and haw, is it that your Peni Ind had done things that are shameful?!¡± Su Mei got furious at Jia Lan for only partially exining. The sword in her hand got closer to Jia Lan, ¡°Talk!¡±
¡°Su Mei, put down the sword. You all retreat. Everyone, retreat twenty meters!¡± Feng Qi Qi ordered Su Mei to put down the sword. Everyone retreated. At the scene, only Jia Lan, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were left.
¡°Now you can tell us. What is Forget Love?!¡±
Feng Qi Qi had an attitude that she wouldn¡¯t give up until she knew the answer. Jia Lanughed bitterly and told them the secret of Forget Love.
¡°Forget Love, as the name implies, made people forget their feelings. Peni Ind were on friendly terms with Dong Lu. Always, the empresses of Dong Lu had been Peni¡¯s female disciples. However, Peni Ind was worried that after the female disciples had married, they would no longer be loyal to Peni Ind and also took preventative measures about the female disciples joining hands with Dong Lu¡¯s emperor and dealing with Peni Ind. So, after they select the female disciple, the masters would give the female disciple who was about to be Dong Lu¡¯s empress ¡®Forget Love¡¯.
¡°Those who took ¡®Forget Love¡¯, if they fall in love, within three years, they wouldpletely forget the person they fell in love with. Ever since then, they would cleanse their heart and limit their desires. They would no longer long for love between man and woman...¡±
As he talked to her, Jia Lan looked once at Feng Cang, ¡°If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, the poison on your body is ¡®Forget Love¡¯. Although I don¡¯t know what rtionship your mother had with Peni Ind, but I¡¯ve never heard of Forget Love being a fetal poison and passed onto the next generation. If it really could be passed down, then wouldn¡¯t every emperor of Dong Lu have ¡®Forget Love¡¯ in their bodies? This is impossible! Unless, your mother took it during the pregnancy. This is the only justification.¡±
¡°It was just, Forget Love is very harmful to a woman¡¯s body. If it was taken during pregnancy, not only will it harm the mother, it would also implicate the fetus. Your mother didn¡¯t love you, so she took Forget Love; or, your mother took Forget Love unknowingly...forgive me for being presumptuous, but who was your mother?¡±
¡°Xia Wan Ying.¡±
Hearing the name Xia Wan Ying from Feng Cang, Jia Lan was very surprised, ¡°Xia Wan Ying was Dong Lu¡¯s princess and was betrothed to former Qin¡¯s crown prince, but was robbed by former Qin¡¯s emperor...Then, your maternal grandmother is Peni Ind¡¯s female disciple Jun Lan Mei. This indeed has something to do with Peni Ind. But this is not right, ah! The masters would only give the poison to Dong Lu¡¯s empress. How did Forget Love get taken by a princess? There is no rtionship here, ah!¡±
¡°Then, we should ask Dong Lu¡¯s current empress dowager Jun Lan Xin.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words let Jia Lan understand this problem. Before Jun Lan Xin had be the empress, Dong Lu¡¯s empress was Jun Lan Mei. Later, after Jun Lan Mei had died from an illness, Peni Ind had selected Jun Lan Mei¡¯s little sister Jun Lan Xin and sent her over. Could it be that Jun Lan Xin hid Forget Love andter let princess Xia Wan Ying take it? What a mess!

Chapter 172 Survived (2)
The matter of the past wrapped together, making people unable to open it. They also didn¡¯t want to bother with it. The priority now was how to cure the Forget Love in Feng Cang.
¡°Jia Lan, is there a cure for Forget Love?¡± Feng Qi Qi was a bit anxious. If Forget Love was really the same as what Jia Lan had said; that after three years of falling in love, he would forget the person he lovespletely. Then, didn¡¯t she and Feng Cang only have two and a half years left?
¡°Incurable,¡± Jia Lan shook his head. ¡°This was a poison originally designed to prevent the female disciples of Peni from betraying Peni Ind. There¡¯s no cure for Forget Love.¡±
¡°Impossible!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t believe that in this world, there was a poison without a cure. He didn¡¯t want to forget Feng Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t want to forget everything about her!
¡°Talk! What is the cure?¡± Feng Cang grabbed Jia Lan. His eyes were cold.
¡°I really don¡¯t know! Even if you kill me, I still don¡¯t know! Unless...¡±
¡°Unless what?!¡±
¡°Unless you go to Peni Ind and find my master. Perhaps then, you can cure it!¡±
¡®Pa...¡¯ Feng Cang threw Jia Lan on the ground. His face was gloomy. ¡°I will! I will go to Peni Ind within two years and find the cure!¡±
Jia Lan and Jin Yu were ¡®escorted¡¯ back to Nan Lin wangfu.1 Feng Cang decided to arrest these two to have them lead the way to Peni Indter on.
¡°Qing Qing, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t forget you!¡± Inside Tingsong building, Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi and kissed her frowning brow. ¡°Believe me!¡±
¡°Cang...,¡± Feng Qi Qi felt very weak. The moment she thought that in the near future, Feng Cang would forget every thing about them, forget their child, it made her heart feel so cold that it would frighten others.
¡°Let me handle this matter! I will certainly take down Dong Lu within six months. By then, we can go to Peni Ind together, alright?¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Things have reached this stage, so this was the only way. They couldn¡¯t be sluggish about Dong Lu¡¯s war. The longer they dy, the less time they had for themselves. Besides, there were also Xi Qi and the Jurchen tribe. These things would affect them. The war must be ended quickly!
Ming Yue Cheng had rushed back to Nan Feng after reaching an agreement with Feng Qi Qi. Before leaving, he left Feng Qi Qi a letter. On it were only two mboyantly written words: ¡®Don¡¯t worry¡¯.
When he left, he also took Gu Yun Wan with him. Ever since she knew Ming Yue Cheng was in love with Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan had been thinking about how to approach Feng Qi Qi and take a look at what kind of person she was. It was just, she hadn¡¯t found a chance yet, when she was taken back to Nan Feng by Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, why do you have to help Bei Zhou? Is it because of Feng Qi Qi?¡± Inside the carriage, Gu Yun Wan muttered and cast a nce at Ming Yue Cheng. Originally, she¡¯d thought that Ming Yue Cheng hade around. That he¡¯d wanted to go back to Nan Feng to be the emperor. She didn¡¯t expect that the reason he went back this time was to send the army to Xi Qi. ¡°Is Feng Qi Qi really that great?¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with her! I just thought that this was an opportunity. Now is the right time to plot against Xi Qi.¡±
¡°Yeah, right! Who are you kidding?!¡± Gu Yun Wan didn¡¯t believe Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°Ever since you¡¯ve returned from the wangfu, you changed your mind. It¡¯s definitely because of Feng Qi Qi! Ming Yue Cheng, I need to remind you. You¡¯re a country¡¯s emperor. You can¡¯t disregard the country¡¯s interests because of love.¡±
¡°Feng Qi Qi had once helped me. A friend is in trouble, so I should help. This is the first reason. Secondly, Xi Qi had once insulted Nan Feng, insulted me. I should take revenge for this hatred. Thirdly, if Bei Zhou is destroyed, it won¡¯t benefit Nan Feng in any way. You probably understand the principle of when the lips go cold, the teeth would die. Well! I don¡¯t want to exin anymore about this matter! This is settled!
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, you obviously are a bastard...¡±
Fu Er drove the carriage and listened to the shouts and screams inside. He smiled helplessly. He continued to hit the horse¡¯s butt.
After keeping Feng Qi Qipany for the whole night, Feng Cang woke up very early the next morning.
¡°Cang...¡± Today was the day to send the army away. Feng Qi Qi wanted to wake up and send Feng Cang off, but she was stopped by Feng Cang, ¡°You should rest well. Sleep a little more! Don¡¯t send me off. The feeling of parting is ufortable. I don¡¯t want....¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s facious reasoning made Feng Qi Qi nod in the end. Sheid on the bed and looked at Feng Cang as he put on a silver silk armor and robe. That white color made Feng Cang appear extraordinarily handsome, making Feng Qi Qi be in a daze.
¡°Wait for my return! Also, I love you!¡± Feng Cang deeply looked at Feng Qi Qi once. Finally, he kissed her forehead. He turned and left Tingsong building.
Outside of Yan capital, the three armies went away at the same time. Little emperor Wanyan Jie and empress dowager Dongfang Lan personally went outside the pce to bid them farewell.
¡°Safetyes first! You must pay attention to safety!¡± Looking at Feng Xie, Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang, Dongfang Lan had only this sentence to say.
¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±
After bidding Dongfang Lan and Wanyan Jie farewell, the three mounted a horse. ¡°Depart!¡±
The sound of the trombone sounded through the earth. The three troops mightily moved to three different directions.
¡°Be sure toe back safely!¡± Dongfang Lan waved. Her eyes had tears. If there was no war, how great would it be?! However, the wish was great, but the reality was always cruel. She wished that her descendants woulde back safely. She wished that the world was peaceful and the country prospered and the people were at peace!
The regent and Xiaoyao wang2 personally went to war. The affairs of the state once again fell onto Dongfang Lan. Fortunately, Dongfang Lan had been a sessful career woman who passed like the thunder and moved like the wind. These matters were a piece of cake for her. Plus, because of the invasion of the foreign enemies, the whole court dealt with outsiders. So, the officials of the court were united like never before.
Passed like the thunder and move like the wind: swift and decisive
Feng Qi Qi rested for a whole day. After bidding Dongfang Lan and Wanyan Ming Yue farewell, she embarked on the journey to the east.
The eagle troop searched for a long time at the Red River, but they still hadn¡¯t found Misha or Xia Xue. They hadn¡¯t even seen their corpses. When this news was passed onto Feng Cang, Feng Cang stopped the pursuit of Misha. These two people had either died or escaped.
Feng Cang¡¯s guess wasn¡¯t wrong. At the lower reaches of the Red River, in an ordinary house made from grass, Misha had been unconscious for a month.
¡°Miss Xia Xue, the medicine is boiled!¡± An old woman came in while carrying a bowl of thick ck medicine.
¡°Grandma Li, thank you! I gave you trouble!¡± Xia Xue quickly stood up, but was stopped by grandma Li. ¡°Don¡¯t move! The injuries on your body haven¡¯t healed yet!¡± The grandma handed the bowl of medicine to Xia Xue. ¡°Don¡¯t only care to take care of your husband. You should also take care of yourself! Your medicine will be done in a moment! I will bring it to you soon!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Xia Xue wanted to send the elderly out but was once again stopped by grandma Li. ¡°Rest well! If your body isn¡¯t well, how would you take care of your husband?! Speaking about it, this little young master is also very brave. He looks young but has the courage to elope with you. However, your fianc¨¦¡¯s family is too aggressive. They treated you like this. Really a pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks!¡±
Mandarin ducks: affectionate couple
¡°Grandma Li, I should thank you and uncle Li for saving us. If it wasn¡¯t because of you and uncle Li, I and my husband would¡¯ve certainly died. Even if we didn¡¯t die, we would¡¯ve been caught by them. It would be no different from death then!¡±
Xia Xue¡¯splexion was pale. Although her expression was a bit cold, but when facing the elder, it was a lot gentler, ¡°I thank you on behalf of my husband! I kowtow to you!¡±
She didn¡¯t care about the pain on her legs and body, Xia Xue came to the elder and knelt in front of her. ¡®Knock, knock, knock¡¯, she kowtowed three times.
¡°Aiyaya! Quickly stand up! What are you doing, ah?! Quickly stand up!¡± Grandma Li helped Xia Xue stand up and also helped her sit down. ¡°We have a tiny family and house and don¡¯t have many good things! It could be considered that you were lucky! Fortunately, my old man had opened a medicine shop in the past. Li Da had learnt some medical skills from his father. Otherwise, we couldn¡¯t have saved you. Like the old saying, heaven helps the worthy. You two hadn¡¯t died due to a cmity, so you would be able to enjoy blessings in the future!¡±
¡°I also hope so! If my husband can really wake up, then I¡¯m willing to do everything for you!¡±
Xia Xue said it very emotionally, making the elder¡¯s eyes got warm, ¡°Silly girl, what silly things are you saying?! When your husband wakes up, you should find a ce to hide for three or five years. After a period of time, the anger in your parents would be eliminated. By then, you could go back with their grandchildren to apologize. Your parents will forgive you! Listening to this old woman is right!¡±
After sending grandma Li away, Xia Xue came with the medicine to Misha.
Seeing Misha¡¯s left eye wrapped in gauze, Xia Xue¡¯s tears couldn¡¯t help but fall. It had been a month. Misha was still in aa. Previously, he had a fever for a long time. She thought that he wouldn¡¯t be able to make it and also intended to die with him. She didn¡¯t think that Misha would survive, but after that, he fell into a longa.
¡°Young master, young master...,¡± She gently stroked Misha¡¯s left shoulder. The wound there had begun to heal. As grandma Lee said, fortunately they¡¯d encountered Li Da who knew how to treat wounds. Otherwise, they would¡¯ve long be white bones.
Although Misha¡¯s shoulder could be healed, but his left eye waspletely destroyed. Feng Cang¡¯s arrow had hit Misha¡¯s left eye. Now, his left eye waspletely destroyed and he had be someone with only one eye. She didn¡¯t know if Misha would ept this matter when he wakes up. Someone as proud as young master, it took him a long time to adopt to the fact that his legs were disabled. Now, he lost a left eye. He would be very, very sad!
¡°Young master, it¡¯s Xia Xue¡¯s fault. It¡¯s Xia Xue who didn¡¯t block the arrow. It¡¯s Xia Xue who didn¡¯t take good care of you!¡± Xia Xue¡¯s face was pasted on Misha¡¯s chest. Her worry eased a bit after listening to his calm heartbeat. A heartbeat meant that young master was still alive! As long as he was alive, there would be hope in her heart.
¡°Young master, forget Yi Lian, alright?! Is Xia Xue not good? Why can¡¯t you look at me?! I won¡¯t leave you. I will never abandon you...Young master, am I not good enough?¡±
Xia Xue talked endlessly about things she usually didn¡¯t dare to say. In the past, Misha didn¡¯t like her to touch him, but now, she¡¯s the one who is changing his medicine, wiping him and feeding him medicine. Once or twice, Xia Xue had hoped to continue in such a state. Even if Misha was unconscious, but at least, such a Misha belonged to herpletely.
¡°Young master, drink the medicine!¡±
Xia Xue took a mouthful of medicine, leaned over and put her lips on Misha¡¯s lips. Her small tongue pried his lips and teeth open and let the medicine go in Misha¡¯s mouth. She waited till he swallowed it before she continued to feed him the next mouthful.
Such an intimate contact was something Xia Xue never dared to imagine! But now Misha was unconscious and couldn¡¯t swallow the medicine. She could only feed him with her mouth and was also happy to enjoy such intimacy.
Xia Xue fed a bowl of medicine for a long time before it waspletely taken by Misha.
¡°Young master, although the medicine is bitter, but you would be fine after drinking it!¡± Xia Xue gently wiped the medicine from the corners of Misha¡¯s mouth. Now, Mishay so well-behaved. Although, he was still ine, but aside from a paleplexion, he looked like he was asleep.
Xia Xue¡¯s hand gentle moved over that innocent face of Misha. Her eyes were full of love. If they could continue to be like this was also not bad...
Seeing the still beautiful face of Misha even when he was ina, Xia Xue¡¯s heart felt a warmth. Could he kiss young master¡¯s lips once again? Xia Xue struggled in her heart. In the end, the love for Misha broke through her mind.
She lowered her head and leaned over Misha. His white as porcin skin was smooth and wless. Even the sweat pores couldn¡¯t be seen. Also, his long eyshes were thick like a small brush. The usual charming eyes under the eyshes was now closed. He was well-behaved like a child. For the first time, Xia Xue discovered that Misha had such a quiet side.
¡°Young master...,¡± Xia Xue¡¯s face was a bit red. She didn¡¯t know if this was considered offending Misha or not, but she really loves Misha very much. When he was awake, she couldn¡¯t do anything. Now, he was unconscious, she could take the opportunity and do things she normally didn¡¯t dare to do.
Just when Xia Xue closed her eyes and wanted to kiss Misha¡¯s lips, Misha¡¯s right eye suddenly opened and looked at Xia Xue who was getting closer and closer to him.
Just when Xia Xue thought that she was about to touch those soft lips, a hoarse voice spread to her ear, ¡°Xia Xue...¡±
Xia Xue abruptly opened her eyes and looked at that pair of cold and dull eyes of Misha. The bowl in her hand made a ¡®kuangdang!¡¯ sound. It fell on the ground and was smashed into pieces.
¡°Miss Xia Xue, what had happened?¡± At the door, grandma Li once again came in with a bowl of ck medicine. Hearing the sound, her steps sped up. She approached and saw the woken up Misha.
¡°Aiya! It¡¯s really a happy asion as big as the sky! So great! Miss Xia Xue, your husband has woken up! Amitabha, buddha¡¯s protection!¡± Grandma Li put the bowl down and bowed to the buddha stature on the wall. The appearance of grandma Li dissolved Xia Xue¡¯s embarrassment. She quickly got up and sat well. She pretended like nothing had happened, but her face was burning.
Only when grandma Li said some more congrattory words and left, did Xia Xue look at Misha again.
¡°You told her that we are husband and wife?¡± Now, Misha had woken uppletely. He seemed to have realized from the pain, that something had happened to his left eye. There weren¡¯t any thunderstorms that Xia Xue was expecting. This time, Misha was abnormally quiet.
¡°Young master, this was a stratagem of convenience. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose...¡±
¡°You did good!¡± Xia Xue wanted to exin, but then she heard Misha¡¯s praise, making her stunned.
Seeing that Xia Xue was somewhat in a daze, Mishaughed, ¡°What? Became silly? Thought that I would scold you? It turns out that I¡¯m such a cold and heartless person in your heart, ah!¡±
¡°No, young master isn¡¯t such a person!¡±
¡°Xia Xue, thank you for saving me!¡± Misha smiled faintly. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, I may have been buried in the Red River.¡±
¡°This is what I should do!¡± Misha¡¯s politeness and tenderness made Xia Xue feel somewhat overwhelmed. ¡°Young master, you were in aa for a month. You don¡¯t know how worried I was!¡±
¡°What?! One month!¡± Misha was shocked after hearing this news. He struggled to sit up. ¡°Where are we now? Did Bei Zhou send the troops to Dong Lu? How is the situation now?¡±
¡°Young master, we¡¯re in Bei Zhou and are far from Dong Lu...¡±
¡°Pack up. Go to Dong Lu!¡±

Chapter 173 (Part 1) Feng Cang is a madman
Chapter 173 (Part 1) Feng Cang is a madman
Misha¡¯s decision startled Xia Xue, ¡°Young master, your injuries are very serious. You still need to rest!¡±
Xia Xue had just finished speaking when Misha felt a burst of dizziness. The pain from his left eye stimted his brain. He clutched his left eye. Xia Xue quickly helped Misha lie down. ¡°Young master, how are you feeling? Does it hurt very much?¡±
Misha was in so much pain that he could only take deep breaths.
Seeing Misha in so much pain, Xia Xue¡¯s heart felt more pain than him, ¡°Young master, the medicine we were carrying on our bodies had been washed away by the water! This ce is remote and deste. There is nothing...¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Misha took a deep breath. Even if he wanted to glue some wings on him and fly to Dong Lu, but the pain from just now made Misha realise that getting out of bed now and rushing to Dong Lu was just a fantasy. Unless he wanted to lose his life in Dong Lu. However, before getting Yi Lian, he couldn¡¯t die.
¡°Young master, you¡¯re seriously injured. You still need to nurse yourself back to health. Why don¡¯t you recuperate first; when your body is a bit better, we will go to Dong Lu then, alright? Didn¡¯t you always say that the body is the capital of life?! Without a healthy body, how will you go achieve your dream?¡±
While Misha was still hesitating, Xia Xue¡¯s words undoubtedly yed the role of ¡®pushing the wave and add to the billows¡¯. It so happened that at this moment, a piecing pain came from his left eye, making Misha almost faint from agony.
Pushing the wave and add to the billows: add fuel to fire
¡°Xia Xue...go inquire about the situation of Dong Lu. We won¡¯t leave for the moment.¡±
Misha saying they wouldn¡¯t leave for now made Xia Xue happy. In the past, Misha had always stubbornly adhered to his own thoughts and always refused to change. This time, he was actually willing to listen to her and stay put. Did this mean that in Misha¡¯s heart, she at least had a little bit of status?
Misha closed his eyes. His right hand clenched into a fist. Now, he was like a tiger whose ws had been pulled out. Any ordinary person could hurt him. The state of his left hand and left eye made Misha hate Feng Cang to death.
That godlike man had not only stolen his Yi Lian, he¡¯d also destroyed his left eye and injured his left hand. The hate of stolen love, the pain of the body, he (M) must avenge! But before avenging, he must restore his health. As Xia Xue said, without a healthy body, how could hepete with Feng Cang for Yi Lian? Originally, his legs were disabled. Now, he¡¯d also lost his left eye. Will Yi Lian fancy such a him?
If it was on his pride, he would certainly not be able to ept such a him. Disabled legs, and also lost his left eye. He waspletely a deformity. He might as well die! However, he was unwilling! He was unwilling that Yi Lian was robbed like this by another!
When he thought about death, inside Misha¡¯s eyes appeared Feng Qi Qi¡¯s image. She was more beautiful and prettier than she was in the past life, making people¡¯s eyes unable to leave her. Whether it was the past or the present life, Yi Lian was the most beautiful in his eyes. He¡¯d searched painfully for all these years, wasn¡¯t it just to meet her?!
However, while Misha thought so, Xia Xue was also counting on a narrow abacus in her heart.
Count on a narrow abacus: scheming selfishly
After feeding Misha some rice porridge and served him to sleep, Xia Xue came to grandma Li and Li Da. The moment she saw Li Da, Xia Xue knelt and kowtowed and kept repeating, ¡°Thanking benefactor¡±. This made Li Da be at loss of what to do. It was grandma Li who pushed him. He stepped forward and helped Xia Xue stand up.
¡°Miss Xia Xue, your husband is very fortunate and lucky. As long as he recuperates well, he will certainly restore his health!¡±
¡°Thanks uncle Li. Thanks!¡± Xia Xue took out a golden hairpin and stuffed it in grandma Li¡¯s hand. ¡°Grandma Li, uncle Li, thank you for taking me and my husband in and also for treating our wounds. I have only such a valuable thing on me. Take this golden hairpin as my gratitude towards you!¡±
¡°What are you saying?!¡± Grandma Li stuffed the golden hairpin back to Xia Xue. ¡°If you have the need, just directly say it. Why be so polite?! In the future, there will be many days where you would need money. Keep this golden hairpin. Perhaps, in a critical moment, it could save you! How can we take your money?!¡±
The two shoved at each other for half a day. Xia Xue still let grandma Li keep the golden hairpin, ¡°In fact, I came today to beg you for one thing. Although, my husband is seriously injured, but he kept thinking about taking revenge. I don¡¯t want him to go and die this time. We aren¡¯t the other¡¯s party opponents! I don¡¯t know how to discourage him....¡±
¡°Miss Xia Xue, let me advise him!¡±
Li Da was ready to leave, but was stopped by Xia Xue, ¡°Uncle Li, it¡¯s useless. He¡¯s too stubborn. He would certainly do the things he decided! I¡¯m only worried about his body. He was so seriously wounded. I¡¯m afraid that he hasn¡¯t seen the enemy yet and have already died. So, I want to ask uncle Li to help me!¡±
Although Xia Xue¡¯s expression was cold, but the care and concern she showed towards Misha these past month, made grandma Li and Li Da think that she was a good girl. Moreover, they felt very sympathetic to the ¡®love¡¯ between her and Misha.
Now, Xia Xue sought their help. Besides, they took a golden hairpin from the other party; of course, they had to help her. Li Da opened his mouth, ¡°Alright! Tell me!¡±
¡°Uncle Li, can you add an herb that aide people to sleep in the medicine? Seeing his wound, he should at least recuperate for a month. I¡¯m worried that he would disregard his body and hurt himself. So, I want to ask you to add some other herbs in the medicine to let him sleep more.¡±
Xia Xue said so made Li Da surprised, ¡°Miss Xia Xue, you really want to do this? What would you do in case your husband detected it?¡±
¡°When he notices, presumably the wounds on his body would be healed. If he wants to take revenge, by then, I will return with him! However, it¡¯s not now. Now, he couldn¡¯t get up by himself. I can¡¯t let him go die. Father and mother already don¡¯t admit me I only have him...¡±
Speaking of moving things, Xia Xue¡¯s tears fell, making grandma Li quickly go forward and wiped her tears.
¡°Li Da, I think we should help Xia Xue on this matter! She¡¯s so pitiful!¡±
Mother made her speech. Naturally, Li Da should listen to it. From that night onwards, inside Misha¡¯s medicine was added an ingredient that made him sleep. Like this, a month had passed. They¡¯ve gone into summer. The weather was getting hotter.
Resting for a month, the wound on Misha¡¯s left shoulder was almost healed. Although, he couldn¡¯t use it freely yet, but it looked no different from ordinary people.
Now, Misha had also became aware of the status of his left eye. That arrow of Feng Cang hit his left eye. When Li Da took the arrow out of him, his eyeball was attached to the arrow. His whole eyeball was pulled out. Now, his left eye had sunken and left a hole as big as a jujube.
Misha tried not to think about his left eye and also didn¡¯t look in the mirror at his left eye. Although, he had been taking medicine, but his left eye was gone would hurt a long time. This also made his brain hurt a lot.
In the modern era, losing a big eye would be considered a major surgery. Let alone, in the ancient times. Beside they were in a vige at the hill. Fortunately, they met Li Da. He¡¯s a good person and also had good skills. It could be considered that he (M) picked back his life.
¡°Xia Xue, what date is it today? Why did the cicadas begin to chirp now?!¡±
Because of the serious injuries, Misha¡¯s physique had gotten a lot worse. So, he didn¡¯t feel the temperature rise and also didn¡¯t feel the warmth. Instead, it was the cicadas on the tree outside that made Misha puzzled. Could it be that summer already came? However, he clearly remembered that he just slept a few days, ah...
Xia Xue was surprised for a moment with Misha asking this. Then, she pretended like nothing was the matter and continued to feed Misha medicine, ¡°Young master, you should ask the cicadas this question. I don¡¯t know.¡±
Without the wheelchair plus the lost if the left eye, even though Misha was awake, he preferred to stay in the house. Moreover, every time he woke up, only a little whileter, after he ate and took the medicine, he would fall asleep. He didn¡¯t know that the time had already flew by and that it was June now.
¡°Hehe, you let me as the cicadas stumped me. What day is it today? Did you inquire about the matter I let you go inquire?¡±
¡°Young master, I can¡¯t leave here, but I already asked people to help me inquire. I believe that we will get the news soon! Today, only ten days had passed. Don¡¯t worry!¡±
¡°Xia Xue, I feel that I¡¯m much better. Thank you for your care during this time!¡±
¡°Young master, this is what I should do!¡±
Xia Xue helped Mishay down. She took the empty bowl and went out. After she went out, she also softly closed the door.
Misha stared at the roof. Sleepiness hit him once again. It seemed that every time after he drank the medicine, he would feel very tired. If it wasn¡¯t because every time when he woke up, it was during the day, he would¡¯ve thought that he only slept one night!
Slept one night?! Misha suddenly thought of something. He pushed his body and sat up.
This isn¡¯t right! Why does he feel that he slept for a long time? However, every time when he opened his eyes, it was during the day. Xia Xue said that he only slept for a little while. Hearing the chirps of the cicadas, it must be summer now. Why did Xia Xue say that it was the tenth? The first time he woke up, it was May. If only ten days had passed, why did cicadas appear in May?
Could it be that Xia Xue did something with the medicine? That was why he will sleep and not wake up? Thinking till here, another burst of dizziness hit him. Misha pinched his body and used the pain of his body to stimte himself.
Without the wheelchair, Misha couldn¡¯t get out of bed. He simply put his hand on the ground and crawled to the door.
Outside, Li Da came back from picking herbs. Seeing Xia Xue, he smiled at her, ¡°Miss Xia Xue, did you husband already drink the medicine?¡±
¡°He just drank it and justid down. He must be asleep now. Uncle Li, you came back very early today!¡±
Xia Xue was very grateful to Li Da. If it wasn¡¯t because Li Da saved them and also went to pick herbs daily, perhaps she and Misha would be ghosts now in the underwater. Moreover, Li Da listened to her and added herbs that aided sleep in the medicine, so Misha could recuperate peacefully and didn¡¯t trouble here and trouble there. Speaking about it, that Misha was able to recover so fast was also Li Da¡¯s credit.
¡°Having entered summer, the herbs on the mountain increased. Look, today, I picked many Lingyi herb. When it¡¯s dried, it can be made into medicine!¡±
¡°Lingyi herb?¡± Through the seam of the door, Misha saw the herbs in Li Da¡¯s hands. Surely, it was Lingyi herb,
This herb had the role of promoting sleep. Why did Li Da pick Lingyi herb? Could it be that there was Lingyi herb in the medicine that he drank every day? The thought about what Li Da said just now ¡®having entered summer¡¯, Misha suddenly came to a realization.
No wonder he would be so drowsy every day. It turned out that it came from Lingyi herb! He didn¡¯t need to guess to know that Xia Xue must¡¯ve acted on her own initiative. She didn¡¯t want to let him go to Dong Lu, so she preferred to let Li Da put Lingyi herb in the medicine to let him sleep continuously. She was trying to dy time!
¡®Boom!¡¯ Just as Xia Xue and Li Da was chatting, from inside Misha¡¯s room came a loud noise. The wooden door was shattered into pieces.

Chapter 173 (Part 2) Feng Cang is a madman
The sudden noise surprised Li Da. Grandma Li in the next room had also been scared and run over here. She repeatedly asked, ¡°What had happened?¡±
After the smoke was cleared, Xia Xue saw Misha sitting on the floor. Wasn¡¯t he asleep? When did he get out of bed? Seeing that Misha used his hands to support his body, Xia Xue quickly went over to him.
¡°Young master, what had happened? Why did youe out of bed? If there was anything, you could¡¯ve called me, ah!¡±
¡°F**** off...,¡± Misha gestured with his hand. The wind in his right-hand palm hit the unprepared Xia Xue to the ground. ¡°Bitch! You actually dyed my time and put Lingyi herb in my medicine!¡±
Hearing Misha say that, Xia Xue knew that what he and Li Da said just now was heard by Misha. She couldn¡¯t care about wiping the blood from her mouth. Xia Xue immediately knelt in front of Misha, ¡°Young master, please listen to my exnation! You were seriously injured. If you insisted on going to Dong Lu, if your wound got infected on the road, it would endanger your life, ah! This ve considered from the point of your health and had toe up with this n. This ve did it for you, young master!¡±
¡°Damned you!¡± The more Misha listened, the angrier he got. It seemed that everything was true. He actually wasted so much time here. He didn¡¯t know how the situation was now in Dong Lu.
¡°Young master, don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s this ve¡¯s fault. Don¡¯t be angry! If you want to punish, then punish this ve...,¡± Xia Xue didn¡¯t finish, when another wave of wind from a hand palm came at her. Xia Xue fell on the ground once again.
¡°Don¡¯te lie to me with those high-sounding reasons! You just don¡¯t want me to go to Dong Lu. You just don¡¯t want me to see Yi Lian! So, you repeatedly stopped me! Did you think that I don¡¯t know what you are thinking? Want to be my woman? Are you worthy?!¡±
Misha¡¯s whole body trembled. He had never thought that Xia Xue would do such a thing, ¡°Say, what date is it now?!¡±
Misha¡¯s aggressivenesspletely stunned grandma Li and Li Da. After hearing Misha did they found out the reason. Xia Xue was not this young handsome man¡¯s wife. She¡¯s his ve! They were lied to by Xia Xue?!
Seeing that Misha was not to be trifled with, grandma Li quickly answered in Xia Xue¡¯s stead, ¡°It¡¯s already mid-June...¡±
¡°What?¡± Misha cold eyes casted her a nce, making grandma Li shiver from fear. She almost fell. It was Li Da who supported her. ¡°Say it once again?¡±
¡°Now, it¡¯s already mid-June...¡±
¡°Good, very good! Very good!¡± Misha looked fiercely at Xia Xue. The hatred in his eyes was apparent.
Xia Xue knew that Misha must hate her to death. She didn¡¯t think that her own ¡®act on her initiative¡¯ would let Misha be so disgusted, ¡°Young master, I was wrong! I know I¡¯m wrong! Young master, give me one more chance! I really just want you to recuperate well, ah!¡±
Xia Xue wanted toe forward but had once again been hit to the ground.
Seeing Xia Xue like this, Li Da couldn¡¯t help but stand up and berated Misha, ¡°No matter what miss Xia Xue did wrong, it was for your body, it was for your own good! How can you bite the hands that feed you?! When you were in aa, it was miss Xia Xue who took care of you without rest. Even if you¡¯re angry, you should think about the good things about her. How can you treat her, a girl, like this?!¡±
Li Da¡¯s berating made Misha¡¯s face got darker. He stared long at Li Da. He suddenlyughed, ¡°Since you want toe up for her so much, then, I will let you see the true face of this woman!¡±
After finishing speaking, Misha gestured with his finger at Xia Xue.
¡°Young master, forgive me!¡± She couldn¡¯t care less about the pain on her body and crawled to Misha. With a face of begging like a Pekinese dog, she looked at Misha, ¡°Young master, as long as you forgive me, I¡¯m willing to do anything for you.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Misha smiled innocently. The ck eye-patch on his left eye made him look even more like a rebirthed devil with a na?ve smile, but there was a deep coldness in his eyes.
¡°Kill them! Kill them, then, I will forgive you!¡±
Misha pointed at Li Da and grandma Li and smiled gently at Xia Xue.
¡°Young master...,¡± Xia Xue¡¯s heart shivered. If it wasn¡¯t because of grandma Li and Li Da, they wouldn¡¯t have survived. However, now Misha¡¯s demand was to kill them. How could she do it?
¡°What, don¡¯t want to part with your aplice?¡±
When Misha¡¯s cold voice with a trace of heartlessness reached Xia Xue¡¯s ears, she couldn¡¯t help but shudder. With her understanding of Misha, if she doesn¡¯t do it, he will kill them himself and also punish her ordingly. She didn¡¯t want to lose Misha¡¯s trust!
Xia Xue clenched her teeth. She stood up and walked to Li Da, ¡°Grandma Li, Li Da, sorry!¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s appearance clearly looked like that she wanted to kill them. This made grandma Li and Li Da greatly shocked, ¡°Mother, be careful!¡± Li Da carried grandma Li on his back and run to the outside. However, he didn¡¯t run out of the yard, Xia Xue shed and was already in front of them.
At this time, Xia Xue¡¯s gentle look disappeared. She was cold as ice. Her original look returned.
¡°Sorry!¡± A hatchet appeared in Xia Xue¡¯s hands. A light shed. On Li Da¡¯s neck appeared a smear of blood. The red blood was like a fountain and sprayed all over the ce.
¡°Eldest, eldest...¡± Li Da¡¯s body slowly fell on the ground. Grandma Li also rolled to the ground. Seeing her son dying tragically, grandma Li began to shout, ¡°Come, ah! Murder! Come ah! Murder...¡±
Chinese people usually call their sons ording to their rank of birth. Since Li Da is the only child, she would call him Eldest
She didn¡¯t shout the second murder yet, when grandma Li had fallen in a pool of blood. Like Li Da, grandma Li was also killed with one stroke.
Looking at the two people who fell on the ground, thinking about how they lived together these past two months, Xia Xue¡¯s heart hurt very much. However, if she didn¡¯t do it like this, she would lose Misha¡¯s trust. Compared to Misha, Li Da and grandma Li were nothing.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Misha didn¡¯t feel anything about these two people¡¯s death. They lied to him. They deserved to be killed! They dyed his time and he didn¡¯t know the situation of Dong Lu now. Dong Lu can¡¯t lose. He needs to stop Feng Cang!
¡°Yes!¡± Xia Xue searched through the house and found some money grandma Li kept including that golden hairpin. She put them away in her chest. She also took some food. Finally, she dragged the two people¡¯s corpses to the room. A fire burned down the ce where they lived for two months.
Behind was a zing fire. Xia Xue carried Misha on her back and left without looking back.
On the road, Xia Xue hired a carriage. They rushed for half a month. Early July, they arrived at Dong Lu.
Along the way, Misha heard many things about Feng Cang. For example, Feng Cang utterly defeated Hu Xue Sen in just half a month. Dong Lu withdraw the troops from Pingyi, Gaoyang and Jinyuan. But Feng Cang wasn¡¯t ¡®satisfied¡¯ with Dong Lu¡¯s withdrawal of the troops. Instead, he pursued the retreating enemy and went all the way to the abdomen of Dong Lu, making it so that Dong Lu could only resist.
At this time, princess Zhen Guo led two hundred thousand soldiers as reinforcement. Feng Cang captured the city as a leading figure. Feng Qi Qi immediately upied the territory. The two coordinated perfectly. It seemed like they had the intention to devour Dong Lu. Ever since Feng Cang led the army till now, in just two and a half short months, Dong Lu already lost two thirds of it¡¯s cities.
¡°Crazy! Crazy!¡± Getting these messages, Misha couldn¡¯t help but curse.
In two and half month, not only did Feng Cang cut off the heads of Hu Xue Sen and Dong Lu¡¯s emperor Xia Jin, he also upied more than half the territory of Dong Lu. How crazy was this person to be able to do such a thing?!
What others couldn¡¯tplete in a year or so, when it came to Feng Cang, it was like a child¡¯s y. It happened that Feng Qi Qi was his partner. He attacked, she upied and defended the city. This couple was simply a goldenbination.
What was odder was Xi Qi. Now, Longze Yu and Longze Jing Tian was also badly burned about the head. Feng Xie¡¯s ing back from death¡¯ was unexpected to them. Longze Yu put more than half of the military power on dealing with Bei Zhou and Feng Xie. He didn¡¯t expect that Nan Feng suddenly gave them a surprise attack and caught them unprepared.
Since most of the military was in the east, dealing with Bei Zhou; when the north was met with Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s three hundred thousand soldiers, Xi Qi¡¯s army could only retreat in defeat. Longze Jing Tian wanted to mobilize the army back to reinforce, he didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xie only used a small amount of the army and let them have no spare time for a separate task. He didn¡¯t dare to retreat. Until now, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s side almost reached Xi Qi¡¯s capital, Xiliang.
¡°A good relieve a besieged ally by attacking the home base of the besiegers! A good threaten the east and strike to the west!¡±
Misha was now surer that Ming Yue Cheng deployed his army like this because he reached an agreement with Bei Zhou. Looking at Ming Yue Cheng, it seemed that wanted to waste time with Xi Qi. Could it be that Nan Feng and Bei Zhou would like to take this opportunity to divide the maind and let Dong Lu and Xi Qi be history?
Misha only cursed Feng Cang for being a war madman. He didn¡¯t know that after Feng Cang got to know that the fetal poison in his body was Forget Love, he wanted to end the war very much. Only after the war is ended, could he go to Peni Ind to cure the poison.
Feng Cang was afraid that if the time was dragged for too long, it would let him forget Feng Qi Qi before he could go to Peni Ind. So, aside from the necessarily rest and to get ready, he would be inbat mode. Quickly take down Dong Lu was the thing Feng Cang wanted to do the most.
At this point, Feng Cang¡¯s army was getting closer and closer to Dong Lu¡¯s capital, Yuchu.
Xia Jin already died under Feng Cang¡¯s sword. Without a monarch, Dong Lu was in a great mess. Because when Xia Jin was alive, he didn¡¯t establish a crown prince, so even if Feng Cang¡¯s soldiers were at the city walls and although Dong Lu lost two-third of its territory, Dong Lu¡¯s princes haven¡¯t realized that the danger hade. Instead, they were more concerned who would ascend the throne.
¡°Bastards! Till now, you are still fighting? If you continue to fight like this, you¡¯re all about to be refugees from a destroyed country!¡± The empress dowager Jun Lan Xin looked at the five princes who refused to ept the other. She shivered from anger.
¡°Two-third of the territory is gone. Soon, Bei Zhou¡¯s army wille to our Yuchu. You are still fighting here over the throne. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed?! Can you have a clear conscience when facing your ancestors, when facing your dead emperor father?!¡±
Jun Lan Xin being like this, fourth prince Xia Zheng well-behavedly came to his imperial grandmother and massaged her shoulders, ¡°Imperial grandmother, you¡¯re right! Now, it¡¯s time for our brothers to work with amon purpose and deal unanimously against the outsiders! If we continue to fight like this, Dong Lu will be gone! We must unite!¡±
¡°It¡¯s still Zheng er1 who is sensible!¡±
¡°It¡¯s all because imperial grandmother taught well!¡±
Xia Zheng¡¯s words were very much to Jun Lan Xin¡¯s liking. Besides, this imperial grandson was her favorite. Seeing these two echo one another, eldest prince Xia Qi was not happy, ¡°Imperial grandmother, although the words were said like that, but still one person need to be rmended to preside over the overall situation! Otherwise, both sides would im they¡¯re right, wouldn¡¯t agree with each other and fight till our heads are broken and blood are flowing. Wouldn¡¯t this let the outsidersugh at us?! I think, we should first determine who is the heir to the throne!¡±
¡°Right! Eldest brother is right! After setting the new emperor, the citizens and the generals would be at ease. Everyone would have a pir to lean on and would also fight against outsiders! By then, not to mention reim our cities. Even defeating Bei Zhou is possible!¡±
Xia Qi¡¯s words received the other three princes¡¯ support. Seeing the other imperial grandson take a different position from her under Xia Qi¡¯s lead, Jun Lan Xin¡¯s expression became dark, ¡°Your words make sense, but who should be the emperor? You fought for so many days and didn¡¯t came with a result. Could it that you want to continue to waste time like this?!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget, Dong Lu¡¯s citizens are living between water and fire and are struggling under the iron heel of Bei Zhou! You are unwilling to make concessions, could it be that you want to be prisoners and let Dong Lu be Bei Zhou?!¡±
When Jun Lan Xin said this, she was emotionally agitated. Even the emerald in the phoenix mouth on the phoenix crown shook.
¡°Tsk... howe I heard that those citizens in the cities very much weed Bei Zhou people? I heard that Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo Feng Qi Qi issued a Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention and was very popr amongst the citizens. Some also said that the citizens weren¡¯t disturbed by the war at all. Feng Qi Qi also promised them a ten-year tax exemption. Those who fled their hometown, now have gone back. Feng Qi Qi had long pacified them!¡±
The Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention, a military doctrine issued in 1928 by Mao Zedong for the Red Army, which included a number of injunctions demanding high standards of behavior and respect for civilians during wartime
The one who spoke was second prince Xia Yu. Jun Lan Xin¡¯s lips trembled from anger. Her finger pointed at Xia Yu. She could care less about her identity as empress dowager and scolded.
¡°Xia Yu, you¡¯re Dong Lu¡¯s prince. How could you speak up for the enemy¡¯s country? Since you say that Bei Zhou was so good, why don¡¯t you go to Bei Zhou? Your attitude is like this, your thoughts is like this, aren¡¯t you selling the country?!¡±
¡°Imperial grandmother, words couldn¡¯t be said like this. Who could let the people live well will be supported by the people. Since ancient times, it had been like his. Feng Qi Qi could be like this, I fell that she¡¯s very good. She¡¯s a heroine. She could be epared favourably with men in terms of ability. She deserves to be admired!¡±

Chapter 174 Sinister Misha
Chapter 174 Sinister Misha
These remarks of Xia Yu almost made Jun Lan Xin faint from anger. ¡°You!¡± She pointed at Xia Yu. Her fingers trembled slightly, ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to be Dong Lu¡¯s citizen!¡±
¡°Imperial grandmother, don¡¯t get angry!¡± Xia Zheng quickly poured tea for Jun Lan Xin and gave her another round of shoulder massages. This made Jun Lan Zin¡¯s anger calm down, ¡°Since you all want the throne, but have no way to convince the other, then hand this matter over to heaven!¡±
Jun Lan Xin had no way to deal with these few imperial grandsons. She could only let people bring five tortoiseshells with pennies in them and put them in front of everyone. ¡°The one who could divine the greatest luck using the divine trigram is the new emperor of Dong Lu and can also lead everyone to defeat Bei Zhou and restore the glory of before!¡±
The so-called greatest luck is all the five copper coins in the tortoiseshellnd on the ¡®Yang¡¯ side. The rmendation of the empress dowager got the five princes¡¯ agreement. Since no one could convince the other, then give the choice of destiny to God.
¡®Kuang, kuang, kuang...,¡± Eldest prince Xia Qi rocked the tortoiseshell first. ¡®Hula....,¡± sounded. The three of the five coins on the ground were positive, two were negative and this led to a sigh. The next one was Xia Yu. One positive and four negative. Third eldest brother got four positive and one negative.
When it was fourth brother¡¯s turn, he closed his eyes and prayed for a long time. Then, he finally blew in the tortoiseshell. ¡®Kuangdang....,¡± five positive copper coins appeared on the ground.
¡°How could this be? Why was it like this?¡±
The result of Xia Zheng¡¯s divination let the princes and the officials debate. Some, who were licking the boots, immediately kowtowed and shouted long live for ten thousand years.
¡°This, this is impossible!¡± As soon as Xia Qi¡¯s hands was about to touch the copper coin, Jun Lan Xin shouted, ¡°Do you want to go against god¡¯s wishes? Or is it that you want to suffer the wrath of heaven?¡±
Jun Lan Xin¡¯s words sessfully scared Xia Qi. A mortal¡¯s heart revered the gods. Besides, they¡¯d already agreed that the one who could divine such a result would be the new emperor. Now, even if the other princes were not willing, they could only drop this matter.
With Xia Zheng¡¯s greatest luck, fifth prince hadn¡¯t divined yet, but he was already ignored by the others. The original problem about the new emperor had been tangled for so long and was now solved by a small divination. Although the other princes were unwilling but just now, everyone had recognized this approach. Now, Xia Zheng had really divined the greatest luck. If they oppose and by chance, they angered the gods, then it would be troublesome.
Just at this moment, a ¡°Sir Duyi has arrived!¡± spread over.
The one who came was a man about thirty years old. He was dressed in ck and had a dark aura around him. The moment Duyi arrived, he first smilingly congratted Xia Zheng, ¡°Congrattions Your Majesty! Congrattions Your Majesty!¡±
¡°Sir Duyi!¡± Xia Zheng grinned from ear to ear. ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡±
The two talked politely for quite a while, making Xia Qi unable to look at it any longer, ¡°Sir Duyi, may I ask when will the reinforcement of Peni Ind arrive? It has been so long, why hasn¡¯t there been any news?¡±
¡°I came to talk about this! I¡¯ve just received a letter from Peni Ind. Master had sent one hundred supreme disciples of Peni Ind and they¡¯ve already embarked on the boat. Soon, they will reach Dong Lu.¡±
Duyi¡¯s words let the hearts of the people, who had been worried about the demise of Dong Lu, settle down a bit.
¡°Right, ah?! Right, ah?! With Peni Ind stepping in, we will certainly beat that Feng Cang and let him be gone forever!¡±
¡°Right, right, right! Every one of Peni Ind¡¯s disciples is a master at martial arts. They could simply take Feng Cang¡¯s head at the battle. By then, even if didn¡¯t want to retreat, they would have to retreat!¡±
¡°Yes! Before, it was said that Bei Zhou¡¯s regent Long Ao Tian would go to battle. I thought that a new character had appeared. I didn¡¯t think that it was Feng Cang. Although Feng Cang is a young god of war, but behind our Dong Lu is Peni Ind! Peni Ind is not something Feng Cang can afford to provoke!¡±
A storm about session was calmed down by just five copper coins.
Although Feng Cang¡¯s army was approaching, but the people of Yuchu¡¯s pce didn¡¯t seem to be aware of the imminent danger. Everyone pinned their hopes on the hundred Peni Ind¡¯s disciples Duyi talked about.
Because of the war and theck of time, the ascension of the new emperor of Dong Lu wasn¡¯t as lively as in the past. But even so, it was extravagant. In the morning, Xia Zheng received the officials¡¯ worshipping and also issued the first edict after the ascension. It was to make the other four princes be wangye,1 built residences for them in the capital and ordered that they could not leave the capital without permission.
Xia Zheng being like this attracted the anger of the four princes, ¡°Him doing this, isn¡¯t it like holding us captive?¡±
However, Xia Zheng had long known that his brothers wouldn¡¯t readily ept this request. He didn¡¯t wait for them to resist and let people forcibly imprison them.
¡°Sir Duyi, thank you for giving zhen2 advice. Zhen salutes you with a cup of wine!¡±
Inside the harem, Xia Zheng, who¡¯s wearing the dragon robe, was beaming. Duyi alsoughingly took the cup of wine and drank it in one shot, ¡°Wasn¡¯t this because Your Majesty is the true son of heaven?!¡±
Hearing Duyi say that, Xia Zheng took out the previous tortoiseshell and poured the coins out. ¡°No one would believe that the two sides of these coins are the same. If it wasn¡¯t because sir Duyi came up with the n to use divination to determine the heir to the throne, zhen wouldn¡¯t have this day! So, zhen still needs to toast with you!¡±
The two drank a whole earthen jar. When Xia Zheng was drunk, Duyi let people escort Xia Zheng to his chambers to rest. He went to empress dowager Jun Lan Xin¡¯s pce.
¡°Duyi, how is it? Do Peni Ind intend to help us?¡±
¡°No.¡± He changed his rxed expression of before. Duyi¡¯s face turned gloomy. ¡°Now, master is in seclusion. Without eldest senior¡¯s order, no one would listen to me.¡±
When mentioning eldest senior Misha, Duyi felt endless resentment. Obviously, he was older than Misha, but he had to call Misha eldest senior. Also, master gave Misha the power when he went into seclusion. This was obviously being biased!
Earlier, Misha had rushed to Bei Zhou. Although Duyi didn¡¯t know why he went to Bei Zhou in such a hurry, but he (D) grabbed the chance. He imprisoned all those disciples in Dong Lu who were biased to Misha.
Now, the imperial family of Dong Lu only recognized him Duyi. This let the gratification in his heart expand eagerly. However, after that, Bei Zhou invaded. Feng Cang led the eagle troop and took up two thirds of the city with irresistible force. Everyone in Dong Lu wanted him to ask for help from Peni Ind. This forced Duyi back to his original ce.
¡°What? Why is it like this? Where is Misha? Did you find him?¡± The moment she heard that Peni Ind didn¡¯t send people to help, Jun Lan Xin got anxious. ¡°Then all the things you had said before were lies? Why did you lie to everyone?¡±
¡°Empress dowager!¡± Duyi¡¯s face was gloomy. ¡°Wasn¡¯t I afraid to let the popr sentiment be in disorder?! If I say that no one from Peni Ind would being as reinforcement, then wouldn¡¯t the whole capital been in a mess a long time ago?! My eldest senior went to Bei Zhou and I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s dead or alive...¡±
¡°Oh god!¡± After listening to Duyi, Jun Lan Xin felt dizzy. ¡°Could it be that the heavens want to let my Dong Lu perish?!¡±
¡°Empress dowager, I already let people go find eldest senior and I also let people go to Peni Ind. Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen!¡±
Although he was saying that, but in fact, Duyi told people to kill Misha without pardon when they find him. He had been pushed around for so long by Misha. Finally, he had found the chance to blow off the steam; how could he let Misha appear and take away his limelight?!
¡°Nothing will happen?! When you let the emperor mobilize the army, you also said that, but what was the result? In the end, the emperor died. The general also died. Now, Dong Lu is about to perish. You still say nothing will happen? How can you let me be assured?! If by chance Dong Lu perishes, when I die, how will I go face Dong Lu¡¯s ancestors?!¡±
Jun Lan Xin¡¯s noisiness made Duyi annoyed. He went forward and covered her mouth, ¡°Empress dowager, is it that you want this thing to get out, let everyone know that Peni Ind won¡¯t help, let the court be at unrest and let the capital be a mess? You want to die, but I don¡¯t want to die! There¡¯s nothing to be afraid about that Long Ao Tian. Give me twenty thousand people. I will personally lead the soldiers!¡±
Only when Duyi said that did Jun Lan Xin¡¯s heart calm down. Anyhow, Duyi was Peni Ind¡¯s second disciple. No matter what, he is also capable! In only a moment, Jun Lan Xin agreed to Duyi¡¯s request and gave him twenty thousand of Dong Lu¡¯s elite soldiers.
¡°Master Duyi, zhen awaits you good news!¡±
Duyi departed with the army. Xia Zheng personally sent him off. After drinking Xia Zheng¡¯s wine, Duyi smashed the cup on the ground. The whip pointed to the west, ¡°Depart!¡± A mighty twenty thousand people and horses followed Duyi to the northwest.
After Duyi travelled seven days on the road, two people arrived at Yuchu pce¡¯s entrance. The woman carried a pale faced man on her back. ¡°Go, tell your emperor that Peni Ind¡¯s grand disciple ask for an audience!¡±
The soldier was only a small character. He had never heard about the name Misha. However, the loud name ¡°Peni Ind¡¯ made it so that he couldn¡¯t ignore it. He immediately went in to inform.
Not a whileter, someone came to meet them. When Xia Xue carrying Misha appeared, the two¡¯s sorry figures made Jun Lan Xin and Xia Zheng startled for a moment.
¡°I¡¯m hungry. Give me some food first. Also, I want clean clothes and a ce to wash myself.¡± Misha sat on the chair with a look full of fatigue. Not waiting for Xia Zheng to open his mouth, Misha ordered first.
The feeling of being ordered seemed very bad and also very ufortable. However, because Misha was Peni Ind¡¯s grand disciple and there were a lot of things that needed Peni Ind¡¯s help, Xia Zheng didn¡¯t express his emotions. Instead, he let the pce servants go prepare.
¡°Come, quickly get everything ready for sir Misha! Quickly, quickly!¡±
¡°I also need a wheelchair. My wheelchair got broken.¡±
¡°Yes, yes! Quickly go get a wheelchair!¡±
After taking a bath and being satiated, Misha got into his new wheelchair, ¡°I will sleep first. Before I wake up, sort out all the information about the front. I will look at it when I wake up.¡±
Misha ¡®tantly¡¯ went to rest, leaving Xia Zheng, whose face was full of gloominess.
¡°Imperial grandmother, would he really do well? Looking at his appearance, could he be a swindler?¡± The moment Misha left, Xia Zhengined to Jun Lan Xin. Seeing her grandson¡¯s face full of grievances, Jun Lan Xinughed.
¡°Emperor, he¡¯s indeed Misha. Don¡¯t look at his paralyzed legs. He¡¯s very tremendous! Now, with Misha, aijia3 really doesn¡¯t have to worry and can sleep with a peaceful mind.¡±
Jun Lan Xin, who had been rmed and frightened by Duyi, after Misha¡¯s arrival, she was finally relieved. With Misha here, as long as he writes a letter to Peni Ind, Peni Ind would certainlye help them!
Of course, Xia Zheng didn¡¯t know that Duyi couldn¡¯t invite Peni Ind¡¯s disciples. Now, after seeing Jun Lan Xin speak for Misha, Xia Zheng was a bit dissatisfied, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He only smilingly let people escort Jun Lan Xin back to the pce and waited for Misha to wake up before making a decision.
After Jun Lan Xin left, Xia Zheng kicked the stool in front of him. ¡°Humph! What kind of thing does he think he is? He actually dared tomand zhen! Who does he think he is?! Bastard...¡±
¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of the overall situation, zhen would¡¯ve long dragged off this cocky bastard and cut off his head!¡±
Of course, Xia Zheng could only say theseints behind his (M) back. The enemy was in front. He could only ask help from Peni Ind.
When Misha woke up, it was already night. After reading all the conditions of the war, Misha said, ¡°Not good!¡±
Hearing this, Xia Zheng frowned, ¡°Sir Misha, what do you mean by ¡®not good¡¯?¡±
¡°I mean, I¡¯m afraid Duyi¡¯s twenty thousand men would be gone forever!¡±
¡°This is unlikely...,¡± Xia Zheng frowned. ¡°No matter what, sir Duyi is Peni Ind¡¯s second disciple. Zhen believes in his ability....¡±
Xia Zheng didn¡¯t finish speaking, when someone hurriedly came forward and handed Xia Zheng the battle report of the front.
¡®Kuang...¡¯ After reading the contents of the report, Xia Zheng¡¯s hands became unstable. The battle report fell onto the ground. ¡°Let me see!¡± Misha reached out. Xia Xue handed the battle report to Misha.
The content of the battle report made Misha¡¯s words came true. Duyi was indeed defeated. His head was severed before the army by Feng Cang.
¡°Him again!¡± Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s name, Misha clenched his fist. The injured left eye began to hurt. Sure enough, this man had some ability. Misha somewhat knew the ability of Duyi. The two armies had fought. Duyi had actually lost to Feng Cang within a hundred strokes. This Feng Cang is really too powerful!
¡°What to do, ah? What to do?!¡± Xia Zeng cried in panic. ¡°He¡¯sing! He¡¯s approaching the capital! Zhen doesn¡¯t want to die, zhen doesn¡¯t want to die!¡± Xia Zheng kept repeating. He also panicked.
¡°No! Servants, servants!¡±
¡°Emperor, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Pack up things. We¡¯ll go to the south. Quickly let people pack things up and go to the south!¡±
Xia Zheng¡¯s action undoubtedly was to abandon the capital and flee. He hadn¡¯tpeted with Feng Cang yet, but already wanted to give up the capital. Xia Zheng was probably the first emperor of Dong Lu¡¯s history who was a deserter.
¡°Your Majesty, you can¡¯t leave!¡±
Misha¡¯s words came from behind Xia Zheng. ¡°You¡¯re an emperor of a country. How can you leave Yuchu at this moment and abandon the capital?! The soldiers at the frontline are striving and fighting at close quarters. You doing this, wouldn¡¯t this make people be bitterly disappointed?¡±
¡°Enough!¡±
Misha¡¯s words irritated Xia Zhengpletely, ¡°What do you know? You¡¯re here talking about some nonsense, you can! Because if Bei Zhou¡¯s people captured you, they wouldn¡¯t do anything to you! But what about zhen? If by chance, zhen falls in their hands, then it would be like living is more painful than death!¡±
¡°Right, I should also ¡®thank¡¯ you Peni Ind¡¯s people. If it wasn¡¯t because of Duyi¡¯s instigation, zhen¡¯s imperial father wouldn¡¯t have lost his mind and go fight Bei Zhou! Now, it¡¯s great. Something bad happened and I don¡¯t see your Peni Ind¡¯s peopleing to help! Now, you¡¯re criticizing zhen. What qualifications do you have?!¡±
¡°Hey, what are you talking about?!¡± Seeing Xia Zheng¡¯s attitude towards Misha was so bad, Xia Xue was very angry. Her hands were on the hilt of her sword. She looked coldly at Xia Zheng. ¡°If you have the guts, say it once again!¡±
¡°If zhen say it, what can you do to zhen? Could it be that you want to kill zhen?¡±
Xia Zheng looked sinisterly at Xia Xue, ¡°Zhen remembered now. When Duyi instigated for imperial father to mobilize the army, you, Misha went to Bei Zhou. It couldn¡¯t be that you and Bei Zhou ganged up against our Dong Lu, right?! Right, it must be like this! You two operated separately. One let us mobilize the army and fight Bei Zhou. The other made a pact with Bei Zhou. The motive is to topple our Dong Lu!¡±
Talking till here, Xia Zheng suddenly ¡®realized¡¯. He pushed everything that had happened to Dong Lu onto Misha, Bei Zhu and Peni ind. ¡°Zhen served you with good meat and wine. It turns out that you¡¯re the culprit behind the scenes! Servants, capture them for zhen!¡±
¡°Stop!¡± Just when Xia Zhengmanded people to arrest Misha and Xia Xue, Jun Lan Xin rushed over. ¡°Emperor, what are you doing?!¡±
¡°Imperial grandmother, zhen feels that everything that has happened to Dong Lu is their fault!¡± Xia Zheng pointed at Misha, ¡°Zhen feels that this is Peni Ind¡¯s plot!¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Seeing Xia Zheng being so ignorant, Jun Lan Xin got a headache because of anger, ¡°Emperor, what time is it? Don¡¯t make any more scenes! If we still have an internal strife in front of the enemy and let Bei Zhou know, then wouldn¡¯t it be a joke on us?¡±
Jun Lan Xin was now the grand empress dowager. She also had some prestige at court. Xia Zheng had just ascended the throne. On a lot of things, he still need to depend on this imperial grandmother. So, now that Jun Lan Xin spoke, Xia Zheng endured this and didn¡¯t talk back. ¡°Anyway, no matter what, zhen has to leave Yuchu! It¡¯s no longer safe here. Zhen doesn¡¯t want to be a destroyed country¡¯s emperor!¡±
Jun Lan Xin couldn¡¯t oppose Xia Zheng¡¯s decision. Seeing that the new heir of Dong Lu was like this, Misha couldn¡¯t help but sneer.
He had rushed all the way here and arrived covered in dust. Originally, he wanted to reverse the situation. He didn¡¯t expect that Xia Zheng was actually such a bastard. He had seen the battle report. This Feng Cang was determined to win Dong Lu. However, with only his (M) strength, it¡¯s impossible to reverse the situation. Moreover, he was confronted with such a muddle-headed emperor. It would be more difficult to win Feng Cang and to drive Bei Zhou out. Besides, he also didn¡¯t want to help Xia Zheng.
Thinking till here, Misha opened his mouth slowly, ¡°After I studied the battle report, I discovered that Bei Zhou had pulled their battle line very long. If Feng Cang continues to go forward in such a hurry, the battle line would be elongated and it would be difficult to supply the army provision, the ones who would suffer would be them.¡±
¡°Continue!¡± Jun Lan Xin quickly told Xia Zheng to be quiet and listen to Misha¡¯s opinion.
¡°The one who provides the army provision for Bei Zhou is princess Zhen Guo Feng Qi Qi. Everyone in Bei Zhou knows that princess Zhen Guo and the regent are a couple. Now, Feng Qi Qi is at Min province. We can send a cavalry to Min province. Firstly, we can burn the army provision and leave Feng Cang without a thing to rely on; secondly, we can capture Feng Qi Qi and use her to threaten Feng Cang!¡±
¡°Capture Feng Qi Qi to threaten Feng Cang? Do you think Feng Cang is stupid? Give up the country for a woman? If it was you, would you be willing?¡± Xia Zheng disdained Misha¡¯s proposal very much.
1. Wang/wangye: first-rank prince
2. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
3. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
Chapter 175 Advancing to Min province
Chapter 175 Advancing to Min province
¡°I am willing!¡± Misha¡¯s answer startled Xia Zheng. Then, he sneered, ¡°It¡¯s easily said! In short, zhen1 will not fall into your trap anymore! Zhen also doesn¡¯t want to hear your words! Zhen feels that this is filled with the taste of conspiracy. Zhen doesn¡¯t want to waste time with you anymore. Zhen wants to leave the capital...¡±
¡°Emperor! If you leave, you will surely lose the hearts of the citizens. By then, even if we have the chance to regain victory, we will end up losing because of a missed opportunity.¡±
Seeing Xia Zheng like this, Jun Lan Xin hated the iron for not bing steel. She loved this grandson the most. That¡¯s why she¡¯d asked Duyi to think of a way to let Xia Zheng be the emperor. However, seeing Xia Zheng acting like this now, Jun Lan Xin began to waver. She didn¡¯t know if choosing Xia Zheng was right or wrong!
Hate the iron for not bing steel: to feel resentful towards someone for failing to meet expectations.
¡°Imperial grandmother, since you trust Misha so much, zhen will give him five thousand men! Zhen won¡¯t agree on the other things!¡±
Xia Zheng waved his sleeves and left, leaving behind a stunned Jun Lan Xin. Only after a long time, did Jun Lan Xin realize that there were outsiders next to her. She showed a forced smile on her stiff face, ¡°Misha, sorry ah! Emperor is upset because of the recent happenings. That¡¯s why he said those words. He didn¡¯t have any other meaning or thoughts about Peni Ind. Don¡¯t put it in your heart.¡±
Jun Lan Xin¡¯s feelings were veryplicated towards Peni Ind, the ce where she had grown up. It couldn¡¯t be said that she loves it and it also couldn¡¯t be said that she hates it. However, now she was very clear that at this time, only Peni Ind could save Dong Lu. So, even if she had already be the grand empress dowager of Dong Lu; at this time, in front of Misha, she still had to pull her face down and apologize to Misha.
¡°I know. Anyone who encounters such a thing would be in a bad mood. However, please consider my suggestion properly. This may be the only way to stop Feng Cang from moving forward!¡±
How could Misha not know what Jun Lan Xin was thinking, but Xia Zheng was a weak and inept person who couldn¡¯t be helped. He didn¡¯t want to work hard and support such a useless emperor. Compared to Dong Lu¡¯s situation, Misha wanted to quickly see Feng Qi Qi. He needed an excuse to ¡®steal¡¯ some troops from Jun Lan Xin.
Just like what Misha thought, Jun Lan Xin agreed on the strategy to attack in secret. However,pared to this matter, Jun Lan Xin cared more about the help Peni Ind could provide to Dong Lu.
As Misha previously said, Dong Lu was already in an imminent danger. If they couldn¡¯t stop Feng Cang¡¯s pace from progressing, perhaps, in the near future, all the riches and power she owned would be ephemeral. She would fall from the high position of grand empress dowager and be a prisoner and even be executed.
At this time, Peni Ind¡¯s help was very crucial. Duyi once said that Misha was the grand disciple of Peni Ind. Peni Ind would only help with his order. So, at this time, if Misha was willing to write a letter to Peni Ind, maybe Dong Lu could still be saved.
These two people both calcted in their hearts. After a long silence, Jun Lan Xin said, ¡°Misha, Dong Lu and Peni Ind have been on friendly terms for generations. Now, Dong Lu is facing a danger like never before. We need Peni Ind¡¯s help. Duyi said that the master has provided you the power to supervise Peni Ind. Could we borrow some disciples from Peni Ind to help us? Aijia2 can only ask for your help now!¡±
These words were very tactfully said by Jun Lan Xin. The moment Misha heard them, he understood Jun Lan Xin¡¯s thoughts. Let Peni Inde forward to clean up this mess? Jun Lan Xin must be dreaming!
On the way here, he hadn¡¯t see any refugees nor did he feel a strong atmosphere of the war. Those citizens of Dong Lu didn¡¯t panic because of Bei Zhou¡¯s invasion. This showed a very serious problem. That is, Dong Lu¡¯s people didn¡¯t have a strong sense of national honor.
He had already heard how Feng Qi Qi appeased the people. He had to say that Feng Qi Qi was a brilliant and smart woman. She blended the modern notion into this era and could stabilize the hearts of people well, making it so that the citizens didn¡¯t fight any longer for the country and the emperor. This was her best point.
From Misha¡¯s point of view, the state Dong Lu was in now, was a sign of the end of the history of this country.
In fact, the needs of the citizens are very simple. That is, to have peace and order and living in days that are neither good nor bad. Onend, two cows, wife, kids and a warm bed.
Wife, kids and a warm bed: a simple and good life
Feng Qi Qi could provide the people of Dong Lu a rxed living environment and living conditions. They are content with this. In a case of no oppression, wanting to inspire the people to fight Bei Zhou was simply a dream. The one who could let the people eat enough and wear warm clothing was the one they would support.
When a country lost the hearts of the people, the country was doomed to perish. Even if all the disciples of Peni Ind came to reinforce Dong Lu, the end result would still be the same.
Now, Jun Lan Xin mentioned to let Misha write a letter to Peni Ind asking for help. From Misha¡¯s point of view, this idea wouldn¡¯t help Dong Lu at all. He would also not be so stupid as to let the disciples of Peni Inde here and throw away their lives. However, now he was in need of soldiers. He needed to bring the soldiers to Min province. So, he could only pretend to agree.
¡°Dong Lu and Peni Ind are one family. Now, Dong Lu is in trouble, our Peni Ind would naturally not look with crossed arms! I will immediately write a letter back and let the disciples of Peni Inde over! Now, it¡¯s the summer. On the sea blows the southeast wind. The time toe here from Peni Ind would be greatly shortened. Please, rest assured Empress Dowager!¡±
With Misha¡¯s promise, Jun Lan Xin¡¯s mood became a lot better. The uneasiness that had been pressing in her heart gradually disappeared with Misha¡¯s words. How strong the ability of Peni Ind was, she, as someone who¡¯de from Peni Ind, was the clearest about it. As long as Peni Ind wanted to help, what was only a Feng Cang?!
Misa immediately wrote the letter and printed his seal at the end. In front of Jun Lan Xin, he sealed the envelope and handed it to Xia Xue, ¡°Xia Xue, find the contact. Be sure to send the letter as soon as possible!¡±
While saying this, the way Misha looked at Xia Xue shed a bit. Xia Xue immediately understood the meaning of her young master. She turned and left the pce.
Seeing that Xia Xue went to send the letter and thinking that soon, Peni Ind¡¯s reinforcements would arrive; by then, after driving Feng Cang back to Bei Zhou, she would be Dong Lu¡¯s grand empress dowager and enjoy endless glory, splendour and wealth. How great!
¡°Thank you, Misha! When we broke Bei Zhou¡¯s army, you would be Dong Lu¡¯s first minister who has given an outstanding service. Aijia will certainly thank you greatly! By then, no matter what you want; whether it¡¯s gold or silver, an official position or an order of feudal nobility, aijia will satisfy you!¡±
While being grateful, Jun Lan Xin didn¡¯t forget to make heavy promises. However, the things that she thought were full of temptation, in Misha¡¯s point of view, he didn¡¯t care about them and they were even worthless. At this time, what Misha wanted the most was only Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Empress dowager, I did this not because I want to im anything, but it was only t extend the friendship between Peni Ind and Dong Lu. Dong Lu¡¯s matter is Peni Ind¡¯s matter. You¡¯re also someone from Peni Ind, why be so polite?!¡±
Had to say, Misha had a mouth that could coax people to happiness. After these words were said, a faint warmth actually appeared in Jun Lan Xin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Right! You¡¯re right! Dong Lu and Peni Ind are one family. Now, a family member is in trouble. We should help!¡±
¡°If grand empress dowager trusts me, you can give me a troop. I want to lead the army to outnk Feng Cang from behind, raiding Min province, hit them by surprise and throw Feng Cang in disarray.
¡°Bei Zhou being attacked by enemies from the three sides. All three sides consumed troops. So, Feng Cang dived into Dong Lu¡¯s territory. The more the time is prolonged, the more disadvantage it is to him. When Peni Ind¡¯s disciples arrive, we will surround Feng Cang and annihte him in Dong Lu. By then, not only can we turn defeat into victory, we can also follow up a victory and press home the attack and let Bei Zhou taste the feeling of defeat!¡±
Follow up a victory and press home the attack: pursue the retreating enemy
Misha¡¯s tongue was glorious like a lotus flower. Under his description, Jun Lan Xin¡¯s head sketched a beautiful picture. Feng Cang is defeated, Bei Zhou retreated, Dong Lu recovered its territory, perhaps even plummet Bei Zhou...
Initially, Dong Luunched a war because someone came to Dong Lu and made and connected Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe with each other. The three parties decided to march towards Bei Zhou at the same time. When the matter is done, they would divide Bei Zhou.
Although, the things that happenedter were somewhat unexpected, but now Dong Lu had Peni Ind¡¯s backing. This meant that victory was in front of the eyes. Moreover, Misha was right. The west of Bei Zhou had Xi Qi. The north of Bei Zhou had Jurchen tribe. As long as they could dy Feng Cang¡¯s time, the probability that Bei Zhou would win would be greatly reduced. Then, Dong Lu could turn defeat into victory!
¡°Misha, you¡¯re very right! However, we don¡¯t have many soldiers now. If you want too much, I¡¯m afraid...¡±
Jun Lan Xin pretended to be in a difficult position. How could Misha not know her thoughts. This old woman was not willing to give Misha too many soldiers. She wanted to keep the bulk to protect the imperial family¡¯s safety. If by chance, Misha was also gone forever like Duyi, then wouldn¡¯t they lose soldiers!
¡°Just do it ording to what emperor just said. Five thousand man is enough! The value is in the essence not in the numbers!¡± Misha smiled gently. He also didn¡¯t want so many soldiers. With a lot of soldiers, the goal would be big and the movement would also be big. Perhaps, they didn¡¯t reach Min province yet, when they are being noticed. He wanted to go to Min province with no one knowing and give Feng Qi Qi a surprise attack. He believed that she would surely be very surprised.
Misha was ¡®so understanding¡¯, making Jun Lan Xin didn¡¯t know what to say, ¡°Alright! Aijia promises you!¡±
When Xia Xue returned, Jun Lan Xin already left for a while. ¡°Young master, I already burned the letter!¡±
¡°Mm, well done!¡± Misha sneered. He wouldn¡¯t be so stupid to be led by the nose. As long as he gets those five thousand men, he would be able to disy his skills. Yi Lian, soon we will meet!
Jun Lan Xin honoured her promise. She allocated five thousand men for Misha. When Misha was leaving, Jun Lan Xin pretended to wipe her tears, ¡°Duyi¡¯s whereabouts are unknown. Misha, you must take care, ah! If you really can¡¯t anymore, then just wait for Peni Ind¡¯s disciples to arrive! You are going alone like this; aijia is really not worried!¡±
¡°Thanking grand empress dowager for your care. I will be more careful.¡±
After leaving Yuchu, Misha went as fast as possible to Mn province. He couldn¡¯t ride horses and could only sit inside the carriage. The carriage jolted. Plus, the fact that Misha was seriously injured before and he rushed to Dong Lu when his injury wasn¡¯t healed yet; tossing back and forth and the heather was hot. When he almost arrived at Min province, Misha actually got fever because of the difort.
¡°I¡¯m fine. Let the army continue to move forward!¡± Although, everyday he would feel dizzy for a while, but the first sentence he spoke was always to hurry. Ever since they got out of Yuchu, Jun Lan Xin provided him with more information. And every time when the person Misha sent returned, the news he brought would be that Feng Cang captured a city. Misha got more anxious.
Fortunately, Feng Qi Qi was still in Min province. From the information he obtained, it showed that only a thousand soldiers guarded at Min province. It was a lot less than his men. This let Misha felt a slight relief. He must take her away when Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang are separated!
At Min province, since Feng Qi Qi found out that she was pregnant till now, she had been four months pregnant. Because the fetus had the child gu in him, Feng Qi Qi was extra careful. Fortunately, this baby to love his mother very much. He was very well-behaved. Aside from the morning sickness for some time, there nothing else.
Now, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s underbelly was somewhat sticking out. She also changed into loose dresses. Her whole person also exuded a rich womanly charm. Although, Feng Cang promised to let Feng Qi Qie to Dong Lu, but he only allowed her to stay at the back and didn¡¯t let her go to the frontline.
Feng Cang said that war is a man¡¯s business. She could oversee at the back. Only that way would he be at ease. He left Feng Qi Qi directly at Min province.
Feng Qi Qi knew that this man was doing it for her own good. This time, she was unexpectedly obedient. She stayed at Min province and showed her capabilities of nning strategies. The army provisions, the supply of the soldiers and the appeasement of the people were all properly arranged, so that Feng Cang has less worries and also let her military prestige beparable to that of Feng Cang¡¯s.
¡°Miss, guye¡¯s3 letter!¡± The moment Su Mei entered, sheughingly waved the letter in her hand at Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Guye is so caring. Every two days, he would write a letter for miss. Really making people envy!¡±
¡°Hehe, didn¡¯t ah Kang¡¯s letter alsoe?!¡±
Seeing Su Mei like this, Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help but tease. Wanyan Kang went to the north side. Although Feng Qi Qi wanted to let Su Mei stay with Wanyan Kang and didn¡¯t want this young couple to separate, but because Feng Qi Qi was pregnant, Su Mei insisted on following her miss and didn¡¯t want to leave. In the end, Feng Qi Qi could only nod and let Su Mei stay.
It was just, the north of Bei Zhou is very far from Min province. Wanyan Kang¡¯s letter could only be send on a monthly basis. Although, she could only receive one letter in a month, but to Su Mei, to be able to receive Wanyan Kang¡¯s letter and knowing that he was safe and sound, was already her biggest happiness.
Feng Cang left Nn Xin in Min province. Among the three, only Su Yue wasn¡¯t separated from her husband. They were the recognized happies pair. Although, they were in Min province now, but the little master would be born in only five months, so, Su Yue used all her time on sewing clothes for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s baby. Seeing that miss and Su Mei had received love letters, Su Yue smilingly sat at a side and continued with the needlework in her hand.
After the two read the letters and were still immersed in happiness, Nn Xin knocked on the door and walked in, ¡°Wangfei,4 I just received the news from the spy at the front. Now, a small army ising towards Min province. The one leading the army is Misha.¡±
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
2. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
3. Guye: son-inw, used by wife¡¯s family
4. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the first-rank prince
Chapter 176 (Part 1)The empty city stratagem
Chapter 176 (Part 1)The empty city stratagem
¡°Misha?! Why isn¡¯t he dead yet?¡± When Su Mei heard Misha¡¯s name, she began to yell. ¡°This bastard is so lucky. Even like that, he didn¡¯t die! Miss, it is said that cats have nine lives. You say, is he a cat demon?¡±
¡°Hehe...,¡± Feng Qi Qiughed. She carefully folded Feng Cang¡¯s letter and put it in a small wooden box. Inside there were only letters written by Feng Cang. Since the first one, Feng Qi Qi had treasured them. It could be said that this box is now her treasure.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t feel surprised at Misha¡¯s reappearance. She grew up with this man. She knew him very well. He¡¯s someone who wouldn¡¯t give up before seeding. He¡¯s very ambitious. He must obtain the things he wants.
It was just, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect Misha to be so lucky. He could survive even being seriously injured. It seemed that he wasing to Min province for her.
¡°How many people? When would they arrive?¡±
¡°About five thousand people. We don¡¯t know if they have reinforcement. They would probably arrive at Min province tomorrow. Wangfei, yesterday our people escorted the grains to Liang city. Now, there are only hundred men in the city. Now, Misha ising aggressively, what should we do?¡±
Although Nn Xin wanted to remain calm, but he was still very anxious. This time, Misha certainly came for Feng Qi Qi. If something happens to Feng Qi Qi, how would he justify himself in front of Feng Cang?
Min province is just a small city. It had a small poption. The citizens of the whole city are less than three hundred families and at most thousand people. Even if they allocated the citizens, it would still be a great gap with Misha. If they fight force with force, they simply wouldn¡¯t do.
¡°Miss, why don¡¯t we give up Min province?!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue knew the current situation of the city. Even if they sent people to look for reinforcement, they may not be able to arrive on time. Feng Qi Qi is pregnant and couldn¡¯t stand being rushed on the road. If by chance that sicko Misha did something to Feng Qi Qi, then, what should they do?
¡°Don¡¯t get anxious. The more anxious you get, the worse the situation would be.¡±
Feng Qi Qi let Su Yue bring the map. After looking at it for a long time, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s frowned eyebrows slowly loosened.
¡°Nn Xin, let people go ask for help from Liang city. It would take two days to arrive from Liang city. It would be fine if we hold Misha for a day.¡± Feng Qi Qi whispered some orders in Nn Xin¡¯s ear. Nn Xin¡¯s eyes showed surprise. He looked a long while at Feng Qi Qi before he nodded and retreated.
¡°Miss, what did you let Nn Xin go do?¡±
Su Mei saw that Feng Qi Qi said thosest words so secretively, she couldn¡¯t help but ask Feng Qi Qi curiously.
¡°The mysteries of heaven must not be revealed!¡± Feng Qi Qi did a no gesture with her fingers and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We should go deploy to wee this old friend.¡±
Inside the city of Min province, it was still the same as every day. The citizens weren¡¯t afraid or panicked because of their small city being upied by Bei Zhou. Because of Bei Zhou¡¯s ¡®Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention¡¯, they didn¡¯t disturb the citizens. Therefore, the lives of the citizens didn¡¯t change much from before the war. They still lived the same as before.
The Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention, a military doctrine issued in 1928 by Mao Zedong for the Red Army, which included a number of injunctions demanding high standards of behavior and respect for civilians during wartime
¡°Miss, just now I verified it. There are only 728 people inside the city, of which only 316 are young adults. Plus, with our soldiers, there are only 416 people who could go to battle.¡± Su Yue told Feng Qi Qi the result of her investigation. When she got this result, Su Yue was a bit panicked. How could four hundred something people deal with Misha¡¯s five thousand people?
¡°Miss, why don¡¯t we retreat! We still have time. It would be enough! Inside this city lives Dong Lu¡¯s people. They may not be on one mind with us. If by chance the city collided with the outside, it would be a big problem. Besides, even if we left them behind, Dong Lu¡¯s army won¡¯t hurt their own citizens. Miss, it¡¯s better to get out of here!¡±
Feng Qi Qi could understand Su Yue¡¯s concern. After all, now is a special case. From the normal point of view, the best would be if she leaves the city.
However, Min province is the hub connection between Bei Zhou and Dong Lu. When the grains of Bei Zhou arrived here, it would be allocated to the front. If Min province is taken over by Misha, they would need to bypass another ce to allocate the grains. That would dy a lot of time. If the front doesn¡¯t get food, the military would be unstable and would directly affect the effectiveness ofbat of Bei Zhou. So, no matter what, Min province needs to be kept.
¡°Su Yue, you don¡¯t have to be so worried! I¡¯m a pregnant woman and couldn¡¯t stand being scared. If you continue to scare me like this, it would affect the health of the baby in my belly!¡± Feng Qi Qi smilingly pinched Su Yue¡¯s cheek. ¡°Trust your miss. I already considered this matter. You don¡¯t have to worry!¡±
¡°Right, ah. Su Yue, what kind of person is our miss?! When Mishaes, we will certainly beat Misha until he¡¯s utterly defeated!¡± Compared to Su Yue¡¯s nervousness, Su Mei was lot more optimistic. Under the influence of these two people, Su Yue was a lot more rxed. ¡°Miss, no matter what, I and Su Mei will be at your side!¡±
¡°Thank you...¡± Looking at the two people in front of her, Feng Qi Qi smiled gently. ¡°I will be safe. You will also be safe. Don¡¯t worry!¡±
The information was indeed correct. At noon the next day, Misha¡¯s five thousand men approached the city of Min province.
In July, the sun shone. The sun burned the ground and apanied five thousand men, making a yellow dust. After waiting a long time for the five thousand men to settle did the dust settled down.
Misha sat in an open carriage and looked at the city of Min province in front of him. His lips were in a tight line and his heart was thrilled. Here is Min province. Yi Lian is here!
¡°Young master, so weird!¡± Xia Xue¡¯s ¡®weird¡¯ pulled Misha¡¯s back from his deep thoughts.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Young master, look!¡±
Going along with Xia Xue¡¯s fingers, Misha saw that the gate of the city of Min province was open. At the entrance, several elders with crooked backs were sweeping the floor. Inside the city, there was no sound. Also, there was no one who came out.
¡°Young master, why are they so calm? Could it be that Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t receive the news that we wereing? Even if they didn¡¯t get the news, it was such a big movement when we came. Could it be that Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t notice anything? Or is there a conspiracy inside this?¡±
Xia Xue didn¡¯t finish speaking when a string of sounds came over. On the city gate tower, Feng Qi Qi dressed in snow white sat in front of the zither. Her fingers caressed the strings. Standing beside Feng Qi Qi and blocking her from the sun were Su Mei and Su Yue.
¡°Yi Lian!¡±
Seeing Feng Qi Qi, Misha¡¯s heartbeat elerated. His eyes had been fixed on Feng Qi Qi on the city gate tower. Before, when he saw Feng Qi Qi, she was dressed like a man. Although, she had magnificent style unmatched to her generation, but she couldn¡¯t be more charming and passionate than when dressed like a woman.
He hadn¡¯t seen her just for a few months, but Feng Qi Qi changed greatly. Her whole body exuded the aura of a mature woman, making people couldn¡¯t help but be attracted to her. She didn¡¯t seem to have seen him. She was only immersed in the sound of the zither. The song yed Feng Qi Qi yed was <>.
ÑÌ»¨Ò×Àä (Fade away) literally means Fireworks cools easily is a song by Jay Chou. For the trantion of the lyrics click here.
This was once his most favorite song. Later, he used it as his mobile ringtone. He didn¡¯t expect that she still remembered! She still remembered! Misha immediately got excited.
¡°Really a beautiful little girl!¡± At a side, a man riding on a horsemented on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s appearance. ¡°I heard she¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo. Don¡¯t know how the taste of a princess in bed will be!¡±
¡°When we seize Min province, you can try, ah!¡±
¡°Hahaha!¡± After hearing the man, the whole group of peopleughed. Misha frowned. He waved his sleeve. A plum dart went out and stuck into the man¡¯s throat. The people around him wasn¡¯t able to detect it. The man shouted once and fell straight down. He died on spot.
Misha¡¯s action made those men who discussed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s appearance immediately shut up. ¡°Hey, why did you kill him?!¡± Dong Lu¡¯s great general Tian Zhi Xin saw that Misha killed his subordinate, his face immediately sank.
¡°If anyone disrespects Feng Qi Qi and said those words of just now, don¡¯t me me for being impolite!¡±
They insulted Yi Lian. This was something Misha couldn¡¯t ept. He treated her like a treasure. These men actually said such words to defile her. Really deserving of death.
At this time, the chilling from Misha¡¯s body made Tian Zhi Xin shudder slightly.
Although, they didn¡¯t know Misha for a long time, but Tian Zhi Xin knew the personality of this person that was as good as his words.
Misha is someone from Peni Ind. When he left the capital, Jun Lan Xin told Tian Zhi Xin to obey everymand of Misha. Therefore, even if he wasmanded by a paralyzed Adonis which let them be very unwilling, but they couldn¡¯t not listen to the empress dowager. So, they had tolerated him until now.
ording to Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s thoughts, he wanted to cut Misha very much and kick his head as a ball.
However, this person is Peni Ind¡¯s disciple. Just looking at his act of just now, he knew that Misha¡¯s martial arts were good. Even if they wanted to get rid of Misha, they need to pay a considerable price. Tian Zhi Xin decided to endure it for now and let Misha be proud for a while. When they¡¯ve seized Min province, then, he could look for an opportunity settle this arrogant paralyzed person!
Feng Qi Qi yed the zither on the city wall tower like nothing was going on. A touch a sadness like an infectious disease spread among the five thousand people under the city¡¯s wall.
Seeing that every soldier was immersed in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s music, Tian Zhi Xin shouted badly in his heart. This song was clearly to shake their military spirit.
¡°Sir Misha, when do we attack the city?¡± Tian Zhi Xin came to Misha¡¯s side.
¡°Attack the city?¡± Hearing this, Mishaughed.
In front of them was obviously an ¡®empty city stratagem¡¯. The gate was open. At the entrance, there were only a few old people who swept the floor. Inside the city was quiet. On the city gate tower, Feng Qi Qi yed the zither. This was exactly the replica of the empty city stratagem of Zhuge Lian during the Three Kingdoms. ¡°Have you ever faced such situation when attacking a city? Were there people who opened the gate and waited leisurely for you to attack the city?¡±
After Misha said this, Tian Zhi Xin shook his head. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen anything like this! However, didn¡¯t the intelligence we got before told that there were not many Bei Zhou¡¯s soldiers in the city and that there were only a hundred people?¡±
¡°Where did your information came from? Is it a truthful and reliable news or was it deliberately released by the other party?¡±
This question from Misha made Tian Zhi Xin be confused once again. That¡¯s right, ah! If it was a truthful news, why when meeting them will Feng Qi Qi be so calm and collected? Why didn¡¯t she leave Min province and find a safe ce to hide? If the news was false, then the one who released the news must be Feng Qi Qi. Her purpose is to let them take the bait!
¡°Sir Misha, then what should we do now? The more I think of what you said, the more I feel that there is a conspiracy inside this city! We can¡¯t enter!¡±
The more Tian Zhi Xin looked at the Min province in front of him, the more he felt that there was a problem. If he was Feng Qi Qi, he would¡¯ve certainly closed the door, let people guard everywhere and hold on till the reinforcement arrive. However, the other party¡¯s actions were the exactly the opposite. Anybody would suspect that there must be a conspiracy.
Seeing Tian Zhi Xin being so cautious, Misha chuckled.
Chapter 176 (Part 2) The empty city stratagem
Chapter 176 (Part 2) The empty city stratagem
Yi Lian, you actually pulled out the empty city stratagem. You obviously knew that I came from the same ce as you and I¡¯m very familiar with your ¡°Empty city stratagem¡±. Today, you really used an empty city stratagem; are you gambling? Gambling if I would be the second Sima Yi?
¡°Sir, what should we do?¡±
The more Tian Zhi Xin thought about it, the more shocked he became. On the way to here, it had been very smooth travelling. They didn¡¯t encounter Bei Zhou¡¯s army. Originally, that was a good thing; but now, after putting this matter in Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s heart, he felt that it was very strange. Could it be that Bei Zhou had long known that they woulde to attack secretly? So, they deliberately gave way and facilitated things for them? The purpose was to whip them out here?
No wonder they didn¡¯t encounter any obstacles on the way. It was a long journey from Yuchu. Not to mention Bei Zhou¡¯s army, they didn¡¯t even encounter a single soldier of Bei Zhou. Although, along the way, Tian Zhi Xin had selected small roads, but that everything went so smoothly the whole way was very strange.
¡°Advance and stop at twenty meters outside of the city!¡±
Not waiting for Tian Zhi Xin to think the problem through, Misha issued amand.
¡°Sir Misha, don¡¯t go. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s a conspiracy!¡±
¡°Is General Tian afraid?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not afraid. I need to think about these soldiers. If by chance, there¡¯s an ambush in the city of Min province or if Bei Zhou¡¯s army is hiding somewhere else, then wouldn¡¯t we fall into a trap?¡±
¡°If something happens, I will take responsibility. Advance!¡±
Misha let Xia Xue drive the carriage first and stop twenty meters from the gate. Seeing that Misha insisted on acting like this, Tian Zhi Xin clenched his teeth and issued amand.
¡°Miss, they areing!¡± The fan in Su Yue¡¯s hand stopped slightly. Then, she continued to fan Feng Qi Qi.
¡°No need to bother with him. We should continue!¡± Feng Qi Qi looked calm as if she didn¡¯t see the five thousand men in front of her.
Both Misha and her knew about the empty city stratagem. Feng Qi Qi had already considered this. But, because of this knowledge, she did the very opposite. Misha would certainly see that she¡¯d used the empty city stratagem. At this time, Misha was certainly trying to guess her strategy. Knowing that he knew and still use it, the reason behind it was thought-provoking. As Misha expected, Feng Qi Qi was indeed gambling, gambling that Misha wouldn¡¯t dare!
The five thousand men were only twenty meters from the gate. Such a distance could let the people see some things inside the city.
Looking at the main road, the citizens inside the city didn¡¯t seem to be aware of the happenings outside of the city. The hawkers were still shouting slogans. The people also walked leisurely on the streets. It seemed as if they weren¡¯t panicked or afraid.
Seeing this scene, Tian Zhi Xin was even more worried. Inside the city of Min province were Dong Lu¡¯s citizens. Even if they know that outside the city were ¡®their own people¡¯, they were too abnormally calm!
Besides, they gave them a surprise attack. Bei Zhou¡¯s people, who were stationed at Min province, should be panicked and ready to battle. Why did the citizens inside the city seemed like they weren¡¯t troubled at all by the war? Were these peoplemoners or were they Bei Zhou¡¯s people in disguise?
¡°General, the situation in this city is not right!¡± An adjutant whispered in Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s ear. ¡°Should we send people to go look at it?!¡±
¡°Mm, you go!¡± Tian Zhi Xin pointed at a soldier to let him go near the city gate and look at the situation.
That soldier rode on the horse and went to the city gates. The elders, who were sweeping the floor, raised their heads and only nced at him once. Then, they lowered their heads and continued to sweep. When he looked inside the city, it seemed as though thosemoners didn¡¯t see him. They continued to do what they were doing.
When the soldier came back and reported the situation to Tian Zhi Xin, he was certain that there was a ¡®problem¡¯ with this Min province. Themoners were certainly not Dong Lu¡¯s people. Bei Zhou¡¯s soldiers must have disguised themselves.
¡°Sir, what do you think we should do now?¡±
Although Tian Zhi Xin was ready to retreat, but this time, they hade out with Misha as themander. He had to consult Misha.
¡°Let everyone set up the camp! Make a fire and cook!¡±
Misha smiled and looked at Feng Qi Qi, who¡¯s at the city tower gate. Yi Lian, since you want to ¡®y a trick¡¯ against me, then let¡¯s consume time and see who would have thestugh.
Misha¡¯s decision made Tian Zhi Xin dumbfounded. Set up the camp? Let them stay here? What did Misha mean by this?
¡°Sir, why don¡¯t we retreat for ten miles?! Setting the camp here; if by chance, the reinforcements of Bei Zhoues, then being attacked from both the inside and outside would make us very passive!¡±
How could Misha not know Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s thoughts. Had to say, Yi Lian choosing the empty city stratagem was an excellent n! This Tian Zhi Xin was already like Sima Yi and wanted to retreat because he was scared by Feng Qi Qi¡¯s trick.
However, Feng Qi Qi calcted wrongly. She acted in the opposite way, thought that he would be suspicious and didn¡¯t dare to enter the city, but he simply wouldn¡¯t do that. He won¡¯t attack the city but will set the camp here. He would wait for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s true intentions to show and have a great battle with her. After he expose her empty city stratagem, he would like to see what Feng Qi Qi would do!
Dong Lu¡¯s people set up camp under the city walls. It seemed like they had the intention to besiege. Misha, you¡¯re indeed not easy to deal with! However, do you think that I would be scared like this and you could win over me?
¡°Miss, what do we do?¡±
¡°Close the gate. Let¡¯s go back for a lunch break!¡±
Feng Qi Qi stood upzily and walked down the tower.
Without the sound of the zither and now that Feng Qi Qi could no longer be seen, Misha¡¯s heartbeat elerated. Could it be that Feng Qi Qi woulde to seek peace?
Misha denied this thought when it appeared. This woman hated him so much and wished to kill him with her own hands, how would shee and seek peace with him?!
¡°Sir, the gate closed!¡± Tian Zhi Xin pointed at the shut door and shouted. ¡°Sir, what do they mean by this? Should we fight or not fight this battle?¡±
¡°Let the soldiers rest! What we have is time. Let¡¯s slowly consume it with them!¡±
Hurrying all the way here made the five thousand people be very exhausted. When they heard that they could set up camp and make fires to cook food, the soldiers dismounted the horses and set up tents. Then, they made fires and set up pots to cook food.
¡°General, you say, what do you think sir Misha means by this? Could it be that this city is an empty shelf? It is enough that we just surround them? However, if there are really no Bei Zhou¡¯s soldiers inside the city, then why don¡¯t we attack in a spurt of energy and capture Feng Qi Qi?¡±
¡°General, I feel that sir Misha is a bit unreliable! Can we trust him? Before, if it wasn¡¯t because Peni Ind¡¯s Duyi instigated His Majesty to send the army, we also wouldn¡¯t have annoyed Bei Zhou and wouldn¡¯t be in the current situation. I heard people say that the emperor was furious in the pce and said that Peni Ind has coborated with Bei Zhou, wanting to harm our Dong Lu.¡±
The adjutant¡¯s doubts were precisely what puzzled Tian Zhi Xin. He didn¡¯t agree with Misha¡¯s practice. It was just, Misha didn¡¯t make it clear and he also couldn¡¯t guess Misha¡¯s thoughts. As for the rumor the adjutant had talked about, Tian Zhi Xin had also heard about it. Now, thinking about Misha¡¯s attitude towards Feng Qi Qi, it was indeed somewhat suspicious.
¡°Let¡¯s wait! If it¡¯s still like this tomorrow, then we would make the decisions! Right, let people watch over Misha secretly and see if he has any problems. In short, it¡¯s better to be careful.¡± Thinking about how his subordinate had died inexplicably at Misha¡¯s hand, Tian Zhi Xin spat on the ground. If Misha really had colluded with Bei Zhou and there was a conspiracy, he wouldn¡¯t be gracious towards Misha.
Not waiting for Tian Zhi Xin to have a hot meal, the gates of the city of Min province opened. The one who came out was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s Su Yue.
Su Yue rode on a horse. One hand held the reins and the other carried a food box. She trotted to Misha.
¡°Our princess knows you are here. She specifically let me send some snacks and refreshing drinks. Asking young master to ept!¡± Su Yue jumped off the horse and brought the food box to Misha.
¡°Stop!¡± Not waiting for Su Yue to approach Misha, Xia Xue blocked in front of Su Yue. ¡°Give me the food box!¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s hostility made Su Yueugh, ¡°Young master, enjoy your meal! Princess said if the two armies face each other, she would certainly drink and chat merrily with young master!¡±
Leaving these words, Su Yue mounted the horse and returned to the city.
¡°General, you see!¡± The adjutant poked Tian Zhi Xin. Both stared at the food box in Xia Xue¡¯s hand.
This food box had fouryers. Xia Xue opened it andid all the things inside it in front of Misha. The firstyer had a variety of dim sum. They were small and exquisite. The secondyer had cold vegetables. They were refreshing and tasted good. The thirdyer had peaches and watermelons. The fourthyer had a jar of wine.
Misha picked a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth. ¡°The taste is not bad!¡±
¡°Young master, be careful!¡± Xia Xue was toote to stop him. Misha had already swallowed the dim sum.
¡°What, afraid that she would poison me? She wouldn¡¯t!¡± Misha poured wine, lifted the cup, put it under his nose and smelled the fragrance. ¡°She isn¡¯t the kind of person to y dirty tricks. There would be no problem with these foods.¡±
When Misha¡¯s words fell into Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s ears, it had another meaning.
It seemed that Misha and Feng Qi Qi knew each other. Moreover, their rtionship was not bad. At this time, Tian Zhi Xin had already defined Misha as a dangerous figure. To Tian Zhi Xin, the most frightening was often not the enemy, but the ¡®ghost¡¯ who disguised themselves as a friend at their side.
¡°General,e eat!¡±
Misha waved at Tian Zhi Xin. Tian Zhi Xinughed and walked over while rubbing between his hands.
¡°Drink wine! This wine is not bad!¡±
¡°Sir Misha, you know Bei Zhou¡¯s princess Zhen Guo?¡± After having a cup of wine, Tian Zhi Xin asked his question.
¡°I know her. Not only do I know her, we are very familiar with each other.¡±
Misha¡¯s words made Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s heart made a ¡®thump¡¯ sound. Seeing Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s face change, Mishaughed. ¡°What, does General think that I am the secret agent sent by Bei Zhou? Is General doubting me?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not! Sir Misha, you really know how to joke! You¡¯re Peni¡¯s disciple. How would you be Bei Zhou¡¯s secret agent?! This joke really is not funny at all!¡±
Tian Zhi Xinughed awkwardly and waved his hand, but in his mind, he was thinking about something else.
When Misha mentioned Feng Qi Qi, his gaze was full of strange feelings. It was like he was talking about his lover. This gaze couldn¡¯t fool people. Now, Tian Zhi Xin was certain that Misha had a rtion with Feng Qi Qi. Moreover, it was not a rtionship of ordinary friends.
¡°Come, eat! Don¡¯t worry, she wouldn¡¯t put poison inside. She doesn¡¯t want me to die yet...¡±
Misha bit on the dim sum, but his mind was thinking about Feng Qi Qi. All the dishes she had sent were the dishes he liked. Out of all the dim sum, he only ate mung bean cake and he liked to eat braised pig ears very much. Now, what was ced in front of him were things he had liked in the past life. Even the taste was the same as that of the past life.
Yi Lian, what is your purpose for doing this? Do we still have the possibility to heal? Yi Lian, I know that there aren¡¯t many people inside the city. You are being like this today is just wanting to scare us away. However, you didn¡¯t expect that I would stop here. You sending the dishes I love, is it to beg me to not attack the country and sue for peace with me?
Misha was thinking about Feng Qi Qi with his whole heart. He didn¡¯t notice the unpredictability in Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s eyes. Inside the city, when Feng Qi Qi heard that Misa ate the dim sum and even invited Dong Lu¡¯s general to eat with him, she pped andughed.
¡°Su Yue, continue to send food boxes at night. All the things I said you should send. He¡¯s smart and knows that I don¡¯t want him to die easily. So, I wouldn¡¯t poison the food and he could eat with confidence. Since he thinks like this, I won¡¯t act like it! Su Mei, remember to add some ingredients in the dishes tonight. Don¡¯t add acute things. I want him to die slowly...¡±
Sure enough, Su Yue once again sent a food box at night. Unlike at the noon, this time Su Yue brought someone. The two people brought three food boxes.
¡°These dishes were made by our princess! Princess said that usually young master likes to eat these things the most. Now, young master must want to eat dishes from the hometown. So, she personally cooked and made these dishes for young master. Please, have a taste, young master!¡±
After putting down the food boxes, Su Yue didn¡¯t stay any longer. When she was about to leave, Su Yue suddenly turned and looked at Misha. ¡°Today is young master¡¯s birthday. Princess asked me to pass a sentence. Wishing young master a happy birthday! May you have today¡¯s glory forever!¡±
After Su Yue left, Xia Xue frowned tightly. Misha¡¯s birthday was the twelfth lunar month. Why did Su Yue say this?
Contrary to Xia Xue, after Misha heard Su Yue, he had a feeling that his eyes were brimming with tears. He had already forgotten this birthday of his. She still remembered! In the past, every year during this time, she and adoptive father would blow the candles with him and wish him happy birthday! Now, at this ce, he had almost forgotten everything of the past.
Looking at the dishes on the table and thinking about what Su Yue had said, that these were personally made by Feng Qi Qi, Misha¡¯s eyes felt warm. Especially when he saw a pastry that looked like a birthday cake with ¡®happy birthday¡¯ written on it. One line of tears fell from the corner of Misha¡¯s right eye.
Yi Lian, you still remembered! It turns out that you have never forgotten me!
When Misha¡¯s expression fell into Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s eyes, it confirmed his thoughts. Misha knew Feng Qi Qi. Between them was definitely a -not to be divulged- secret!
Chapter 177 (Part 1) Meeting again, difficult to eliminate
Chapter 177 (Part 1) Meeting again, difficult to eliminate
This time, Misha invited Tian Zhi Xin to have dinner him, but was rejected by Tian Zhi Xin.
After he returned to his tent, Tian Zhi Xin called the adjutant, ¡°Closely monitor the movements inside the city of Min province. Also, sent someone to watch over Misha to see if he had any abnormal behaviour.¡± Tian Zhi Xin suspected Mishapletely, but because of Misha¡¯s identity as Peni Ind¡¯s disciple, he couldn¡¯t act easily when he didn¡¯t have any conclusive evidence. However, no matter what the result is, Tian Zhi Xin decided to attack the city after dawn!
The whole night, Misha was immersed in the memories of Yi Lian. Until dawn, did he sleep for a bit.
Early in the morning, a melodious sound of the zither came from the city gate tower of Min province. The gate was open as yesterday. Several elders swept the floor. The people in the city started a new day.
Su Yue rode on a horse and brought warm sweet potato porridge and corn nests plus two pickled dishes. All was what Misha liked to eat, ¡°Young master, enjoy your meal!¡±
Corn nest
Sweet potato porridge
¡°Go back and thank her...¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee!¡±
Su Yue just mounted the horse when a group of people surrounded her.
¡°People, capture her!¡± Tian Zhi Xin ordered. A dozen of soldiers rushed at Su Yue. It happened so fast that Misha couldn¡¯t stop it.
¡°Tsk, tsk...¡±
There was no reason to not kill preys who delivered themselves. Su Yue sneered. A silver iron chain appeared in her hand. On the top of the iron chain was a palm-sized round knife.
Not waiting for these people to understand, a strange sound came at them. Ten heads fell on the ground. Th red heads fluttered on the ground and rolled a few times. They were stained with the yellow sand and looked particrly malevolent.
¡°You!¡± Tian Zhi Xin didn¡¯t expect that Su Yue, such a petite woman was so vicious. In the sunlight, blood dripped from the round dagger that hung on the iron chain in Su Yue¡¯s hand, making a sparkling strange light.
¡°I kindly sent breakfast over, you repay me this way?¡± Su Yue didn¡¯t flee but sat full of confidence on the horse. She swayed the iron chain in her left hand, allowing the blood to drop on the ground, leaving an eye-piercing sight.
¡°What? Not reconciled? Then, let¡¯s continue!¡±
Tian Zhi Xin gestured with his hand, but had been stopped by Misha, ¡°Stop! Let her leave!¡±
Misha opening his mouth was within the expectation of Tian Zhi Xin. Sure enough, he had a rtionship with Feng Qi Qi. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t help Bei Zhou¡¯s people like this. ¡°Let her leave...¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± Su Yue whipped the horse and returned to the city of Min province. When her figure had disappeared, Tian Zhi Xin came to Misha, ¡°Sir Misha, can you give me a reasonable exnation? Why did you let her go? What is the rtion between you and Feng Qi Qi? Why does she care so much about you? Which side are you on? Are you helping our Dong Lu or do you have other ns?!¡±
¡°Presumptuous! Seeing Tian Zhi Xin treat Misha like this, Xia Xue loudly scolded, ¡°Our young master is the suprememander. What young master does, he doesn¡¯t need to ask you!¡±
Such ¡®brashness¡¯ of Xia Xue made Tian Zhi Xin snort, ¡°Although sir is Peni Ind¡¯s disciple, but this matter is rted to the lives of five thousand soldiers. Can sir take all upon yourself?!¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re afraid that I and Feng Qi Qi are at the same side and defraud you?¡± Misha suddenly realized. He was immersed in the beautiful memories of Yi Lian and didn¡¯t had time to think about why Yi Lian did so. Now, Misha understood after Tian Zhi Xin said this.
Yi Lian, you knew how to use people. It seemed that I took you too lightly! Didn¡¯t see you for so many days, I should have sat up and take notice!
¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Hahahaha...,¡± Mishaughed. ¡°General, don¡¯t fall into the stratagem of sowing dissension. I admit that I know Feng Qi Qi, but I¡¯m not Bei Zhou¡¯s spy and also wouldn¡¯t do anything that would damage Dong Lu¡¯s interest. Asking general to believe me!¡±
¡°Believe you?¡± Tian Zhi Xin had a fire stuck in his heart. How would he believe Misha¡¯s ¡®one-sided story¡¯?!
¡°Believe you, alright! If you let us attack the city now, then I will believe you!¡±
Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s request was a bit ¡®forceful¡¯ in Misha¡¯s eyes. He had already seen through Feng Qi Qi¡¯s stratagem of sowing dissension and his strategy was to besiege her and let her take the initiative to beg for mercy. Now, Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s request waspletely against his will. Misha immediately shook his head and denied Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s proposal.
¡°Sir, you don¡¯t want to attack the city. Can I take it that your word and deeds are inconsistent? In fact...you¡¯re Bei Zhou¡¯s spy?!¡±
Tian Zhi Xin gave orders. A group of soldiers surrounded Misha and Xia Xue. Every one of them red like a tiger watching its prey at Misha in the wheelchair. It seemed that as long as Tian Zhi Xin issues an order, they would step forward and take Misha¡¯s head.
¡°You are daring!¡± Xia Xue took out Misha¡¯s seal. ¡°This is the seal Dong Lu¡¯s grand empress dowager personally bestowed our young master. Could it be that you¡¯re dissatisfied with it?¡±
The seal in Xia Xue¡¯s hand didn¡¯t scare these people. Bei Zhou¡¯s army cut like a hot knife through butter and upied so many territories of Dong Lu. Now, the cities around Min province had been upied by Bei Zhou¡¯s people. Misha had been procrastinating and didn¡¯t want to attack. It couldn¡¯t help but let people be suspicious if he was waiting for Bei Zhou¡¯s reinforcement and annihte their five thousand soldiers in one swoop.
No one wanted to die! If it wasn¡¯t because Misha proposed this damn advice, they wouldn¡¯t go so deep into the enemy¡¯s abdomen and face so many dangers frighteningly. This time, Misha directly rejected Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s proposal. How could they believe Misha?
¡°Kill him!¡±
¡°He¡¯s Bei Zhou¡¯s spy! Kill him!¡±
¡°Yes! Kill him. We will rush in the city and kill Feng Qi Qi!¡±
The voices got louder and louder. Those people surrounded Misa and approached him step by step.
At this time, the gate of the city of Min province had been closed. Feng Qi Qi stood on the city tower gate and looked at the good scene under the city tower gate.
¡°Miss, how did you know that Misha wouldn¡¯t let them attack the city?¡± Su Mei stood beside Feng Qi Qi and had a look of surprise on.
¡°Because I understand his personality.¡± Feng Qi Qi looked up at the horizon. ¡°Nn Xin¡¯s reinforcement should arrive soon. Su Mei, let our people make themselves ready. It¡¯s time for the inside to coordinate together with the outside.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± After listening to Feng Qi Qi, Su Mei was very excited. She went down and let people get ready.
Under the city tower gate, Misha looked at these people who were approaching like a tiger looking at its prey. Even though, on the surface his expression didn¡¯t change, but in his heart, he couldn¡¯t help but admire Feng Qi Qi. She used her stratagem of sowing dissension very well. She only sent three meals and already let all of these people change sides and stood opposite of him. He didn¡¯t know whether she was now watching him being a joke on the city tower gate! All of these went ording to her wishes. She must be very proud!
¡°I changed my mind!¡± Before the other party attacked, Misha opened his mouth. ¡°Since general doesn¡¯t believe me, then attack the city!¡±
Misha loosened tone left Tian Zhi Xin somewhat in disbelief. Originally, he thought that Misha would preserve. He didn¡¯t expect that this brat knew how to see the wind and set the helm.
See the wind and set the helm: be flexible and take advantage of the situation
¡°People, watch over them!¡± Because of Misha¡¯s special identity, Tian Zhi Xin didn¡¯t want to kill him. He only let people watch over Misha and Xia Xue. Then, the rion sounded. Five thousand people began to attack the city.
¡°Miss...,¡± The sudden change under the city tower gate made Su Yue a bit tensed.
ording to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s n, Tian Zhi Xin and Misha would have a war between their own. When they were in a big fight, Nn Xin¡¯s army should arrive. Then, it would be possible to solve the extreme emergency of the city of Min province. However, they didn¡¯t expect that they came to an agreement. They didn¡¯t know when Nn Xin¡¯s reinforcement would arrive. What should they do now?
¡°Don¡¯t get nervous...let everyone stand by!¡± Feng Qi Qi touched her lower abdomen. Lian Sheng, you¡¯ve learned topromise! It seemed, you saw through my stratagem of sowing dissension. Youpromised so quickly. This is really not you character!
Feng Qi Qi had and appearance that she had a card up her sleeves made Su Mei and Su Yue quieted down and waited for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s orders.
Sure enough, the long hoofs didn¡¯t had time to set up on the city wall, there was a cloud of yellow dusting from a distance. It got closer and closer at a fast speed.
¡°General, not good! Bei Zhou¡¯s reinforcement ising!¡± The adjutant rushed to Tian Zhi Xin. ¡°General, what do we do?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to panic?! Tian Zhi Xin scolded the adjutant on the surface, but his heart went up and down. ¡°How many people? Did you see clearly?¡±
¡°Presumably, presumably, there are more than ten thousand!¡±
The adjutant also didn¡¯t see how many people they were. It was just a dusty scene. When he thought about it, it was definitely Bei Zhou¡¯s army who rushed over here. ¡°General, looking at their speed and the ck armor...General, it may be the Eagle troop!¡±
¡°The Eagle troop?¡± Tian Zhi Xin screamed. A water stuck at his throat which didn¡¯t go up or down. Really ufortable.
¡°Quickly, quickly, retreat!¡±
The Eagle troop, the troop who Feng Cang single-handed raised. Having experienced, Feng Xie¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s iron creations, the Eagle troop became the most powerful army of this maind. If it really was the Eagle troop, not too mention ten thousand eagle soldiers, even if it was five hundred, they could also let them be gone forever.
¡°Quickly! Retreat! Retreat!¡± Tian Zhi Xin was the first one to jump on a horse, casted the horseshoe and fled.
Everyone saw that the general had fled. No one had the mind to attack the city anymore. They all started the jump on the horses and went after Tian Zhi Xin. In just a moment, the bustling city gate became quiet. Only Misha and Xia Xue were left.
¡°Young, young master...¡± Looking at the dense foging nearer, Xia Xue blocked in front of Misha to protect him.
When those people got closer did Xia Xue see that the so-called ten thousand Eagle soldiers were just a hundred people. It was just that at each horsetail a branch was tied. The pose of ten thousand Eagle soldiers was done by these branches sweeping on the sand.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± The people on the horses surrounded Misha andughed, ¡°A brilliant scheme of princess! Only a few branches scared these people away!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! Princess is indeed amazing!¡±
Xia Xue¡¯s lips were in a right line. If at the beginning, her understanding of Feng Qi came from Misha¡¯s attachment towards Yi Lian, now, after experiencing these things, she finally understood why young master was so infatuated with Yi Lian.
¡°Young master, what do we do?¡±
Looking at the people who surrounded them, Xia Xue¡¯s hand palms sweated. When Tian Zhi Xin fled, he created a chaotic situation leading to their carriage and horses being taken away. Now, there were only she and Misha. They were surrounded by hundred people. Could it be that today, they are going to die here?
Chapter 177 (Part 2) Meeting again, difficult to eliminate
Chapter 177 (Part 2) Meeting again, difficult to eliminate
Compared to Xia Xue¡¯s panic, Misha was very calm. A good diversionary tactic. Only a hundred people scared away Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s five thousand men! If Feng Qi Qi¡¯s strategies and tactics were spread out, they would surely be recorded and passed down through generations. He hadn¡¯t seen her for six years, and it seemed that his Yi Lian grew up!
¡°Our princess invites you!¡± One person stepped forward and beckoned with a hand. When Misha saw this, heughed bitterly. It seemed that today, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get away!
After Misha and Xia Xue entered Min province, they were sent under escort to Feng Qi Qi. From the first nce, Misha saw the slightly bulged belly of Feng Qi Qi. A sad feeling spread through his heart. His Yi Lian became someone else¡¯s wife and is expecting his child! Misha clenched his fist. His nails dug deep into the palm of his hand.
¡°Yi Lian, long time no see.¡±
Although he had the status of ¡®prisoner¡¯, Misha still maintained an innocent smile.
¡°Don¡¯t say my name! Disgusting!¡± Misha¡¯s smile was particrly a thorn in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. In the past life, this person used this smiling face to deceive adoptive father and her. How could he not feel even the slightest bit of guilt now and still smile heartlessly like this? Could it be that he had never regretted the matters of the past?
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words hurt Misha greatly. Yesterday, he really thought that she had forgiven him and gave him the opportunity to shake hands and make peace. He didn¡¯t expect that she really did hate him to the extreme.
¡°In the past life, Imitted suicide and repaid you with a life. Now, I¡¯m here. Take away my life as repayment for adoptive father!¡±
Misha closed his eyes, raised his head and revealed a smooth neck. He had the look of facing death with equanimity. This time, he embraced being defeated at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands. Earlier, Misha had thought that he needed to get Feng Qi Qi and use whatever ways to let her stay at his side. If he couldn¡¯t do that, then, be like this and let him die at her hands to offset the deep hatred in her heart.
¡°No, no!¡± Seeing Misha like this, Xia Xue hugged Misha and protected him in her arms. ¡°Miss Yi Lian, although I don¡¯t know what kind of grudges there are between you and my young master, but my young master truly loves you! I beg you to let my young master go. If you want to kill, then kill me! I will die in the ce of my young master! I beg you!¡±
¡°F*** off!¡± Misha pushed Xia Xue away. ¡°This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with you, a lowly ve. Yi Lian, everything is my fault. Just kill me!¡±
¡°Young master!¡±
¡°F*** off...The further you f*** off, the better! It was because of you that I was caught. Useless thing!¡± Misha scolded Xia Xue fiercely, making Xia Xue dumbfounded. ¡°Young master, are you driving me away? Young master doesn¡¯t need Xia Xue to serve you anymore?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want such a good-for-nothing like you! Useless rubbish! F*** off!¡±
Misha¡¯s words were very ugly. Xia Xue¡¯s heart tore from pain. ¡°Even if young master doesn¡¯t like me and hates me, but I¡¯m young master¡¯s ve. Protecting young master is my duty!¡±
Xia Xue knelt in front of Feng Qi Qi, kowtowed and begged, ¡°Miss Yi Lian, even if it is to umte virtues for the baby in your womb, let go of my young master, alright?! He loves you with his whole heart. Perhaps, he used the wrong methods, but there is nothing wrong with loving someone! Miss Yi Lian, I beg you! I beg you!¡±
¡°F*** off! I don¡¯t need your begging...¡±
¡®Pa, pa...¡¯ Seeing such a scene, Feng Qi Qi gently pped. ¡°Sure enough, the master and the servant have deep feelings for one another. Lian Sheng, you have the desire to save her, why use such viciousnguage to hurt her?!¡±
His thoughts being pointed out by Feng Qi Qi made Misha¡¯s face be red. He immediately defended himself, ¡°That¡¯s not it! I really hate her! Yi Lian, the one you want to kill is me. Everything she did was instructed by me. Don¡¯t make things difficult for her!¡±
¡°Make things difficult? Haha, if you didn¡¯t say it, I wouldn¡¯t have had such thoughts. Now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I really want to make things difficult for her.¡±
Feng Qi Qi threw a small bottle at Misha. ¡°Your life is what you owe me. I can consider letting her go, but you must take this pill. Lian Sheng, you owe me too much. I don¡¯t want you to die so easily. That would be too good for you. Eat this pill. I will watch you slowly die in front of me...¡±
¡°Good! I will eat it!¡± Mishaughed bitterly. She really did hate him to the bones.
¡°Young master, don¡¯t!¡± Xia Xue wanted to stop him but was held back by Su Mei and Su Yue. She could only watch Misha eat the poison.
¡°Cough, cough...¡±
Seeing the red blood in his palm, Mishaughed cheerfully, ¡°Y Lian, I feel very happy to be able to die by your hand. If time could be turned back and return to the past, how great would that be?!¡±
¡°Young master, no...,¡± Looking at Misha¡¯s pale face and the way he vomited blood, Xia Xue broke free from Su Mei and Su Yue. She ran to Misha. ¡°Young master, how could you be so silly?! She doesn¡¯t love you, but I love you, ah! Young master, why didn¡¯t you want to look at me? I was always by your side!¡±
¡°Xia Xue...,¡± Misha¡¯s view became blurry. He couldn¡¯t see Xia Xue¡¯s appearance clearly. He could only reach out and touch Xia Xue¡¯s face. ¡°Go! I did you wrong! However, in my heart, there¡¯s only Yi Lian. You couldn¡¯t enter it! Go...¡±
¡°No! I want to stay with young master! No matter where young master goes, I want to stay with young master!¡±
¡°Silly woman!¡± Mishaughed. His mouth was full of blood. It turned out that death was like this! Let him die slowly and drain the blood in his body...Yi Lian, you really hate me so much? Why can you not forgive me?
Misha felt that his body was turning cold. The pain in his chest was bing more severe. It was a kind of pain that was hard to describe. It seemed that as though his soul was abruptly separated from the flesh and bones.
¡°Yi Lian...,¡± Misha struggled and looked in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s direction. It was just, at this time, his eyes were muddled. He could only see a cloudy white mist. He couldn¡¯t see anything... ¡°Yi Lian...when I¡¯m dead, can you let go of the hatred...¡±
¡°Yi Lian...¡±
He called out several times, but no one answered. Xia Xue sobbed beside Misha, ¡°Young master, miss Yi Lian has already left...¡±
Left? Didn¡¯t she hate him very much and wanted to watch him die slowly with her own eyes? Why couldn¡¯t she look any longer? It must be because he looked very ugly now. So, she felt disgusted looking at him!
Don¡¯t know after how long, but Misha¡¯s body gradually cooled down in Xia Xue¡¯s arms. ¡°Young master!¡± Xia Xue cried like her heart was torn and her lungs cracked. Her tears fell on Misha¡¯s face. ¡°Young master, wait a bit. Xia Xue will immediatelye to apany you! Young master, Xia Xue wouldn¡¯t let you be lonely on the way to theherworld!¡±
When Xia Xue¡¯s dagger was about to stab her abdomen, a stone hit the dagger in her hand.
Looking at Feng Qi Qi walking over, Xia Xue¡¯s eyes saw only redness.
¡°What did you return for? Did you want to see if he was dead yet? Young master died! He died! Are you satisfied now? I¡¯ve never seen such a heartless woman like you! What fault did young master have? His only fault was that he shouldn¡¯t have fallen in love with you. He shouldn¡¯t have fallen in love with such a stone-hearted and cold-blooded woman like you! Yi Lian, I hate you! Even if I turn into a ghost, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Not waiting for Xia Xue to cry out all the grief in her heart, Su Mei punched Xia Xue¡¯s neck. Xia Xue was startled for a moment, then she slowly fell to the ground while holding Misha. Even til the end, her hands were always tightly holding Misha and never loosened.
¡°Miss, did you think it through? Really letting them go? If we let the tiger return to the mountain, it would be troublesome in the future,¡± Su Yue said softly while looking at Xia Xue and Misha on the ground.
¡°Xia Xue was right. Take it as umting virtues for my child! Moreover...he would never remember me again. Send them away!¡±
When Xia Xue woke up, she found herself in amon house. She wasn¡¯t dead? She thought that she¡¯s dead!
She¡¯d just gotten out of bed when she remembered thest scene before she closed her eyes. ¡°Young master! Young master!¡± Xia Xue rushed out and saw a familiar figure sitting there. ¡°Young master...¡± Xia Xue somewhat didn¡¯t dare to believe her eyes. When she approached, she found out that this person was real. He was Misha.
At this time, Misha was leaning in the wheelchair with his eyes closed. The blood on the corners of his mouth had already dried up. The blood on his body also turned ck. It seemed that the person was already dead for a long time. ¡°Young master, young master!¡± Seeing Misha¡¯s appearance, Xia Xue was very sad. She climbed on Misha¡¯s legs and cried!
¡°Young master, it¡¯s Xia Xue¡¯s fault. Xia Xue didn¡¯t take good care of you! Young master, don¡¯t leave Xia Xue, alright?!¡±
Xia Xue cried sadly. Suddenly, a hand touched Xia Xue¡¯s face. ¡°Xia Xue, why are you crying? What has happened? Why do I feel so bad?¡±
Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Xue didn¡¯t react for a while and remained frozen. After looking again, Misha had opened his right eye and looked at her. This made Xia Xue shocked.
¡°Young master, you didn¡¯t die? So great! Young master didn¡¯t die?!¡±
¡°Xia Xue, what silly things are you talking about? Why do I have to be death?¡± Misha looked puzzled. When he touched the corner of his mouth and also saw the blood traces on his body, Misha screamed, ¡°What is up? Why did I bleed? Xia Xue, where is here? Why are we here?¡±
Misha asked so many questions at once, making Xia Xue didn¡¯t know where to start. At this time, Xia Xue¡¯s heart was fully filled with something called happiness. Her young master didn¡¯t die. Misha was still alive!
Xia Xue couldn¡¯t guess why they were in such a strange ce, but she was sure that Feng Qi Qi let them go.
¡°Young master, it¡¯s miss Yi Lian. She...
¡°Yi Lian? Who is Yi Lian?¡± Hearing this name, Misha frowned. ¡°Xia Xue, I asked you why we are here. Why are you talking about irrelevant people?¡±
Misha¡¯s answer left Xia Xuepletely dumbfounded, ¡°Young master, you don¡¯t remember miss Yi Lian anymore?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡± Misha shook his head. ¡°Is this person important?¡±
¡°No, not important. She has nothing to do with us...,¡± Xia Xue bit hard on her lips and fought back the tears in her eyes. She finally understood the matter. Feng Qi Qi let them go, but she let Misha forget her forever. Perhaps, this was the best oue for the two of them (FQQ & M)!
¡°Young master, are you hungry? I will cook for you!¡± Xia Xue wiped the corners of her eyes. Her heart burst from excitement. Before, she hated Feng Qi Qi for upying the ce in Misha¡¯s heart. Now she was full of gratitude towards that generous woman. Not only did Feng Qi Qi give Misha a new life, she also gave her (XX) a fresh start!
¡°Hungry. Xia Xue, I want to eat noodles....¡±
¡°Good, good! I will make noodles for young master!¡± Xia Xue happily went to the kitchen. Misha pushed the wheelchair and followed her. When the cooked noodles were put in front of Misha, Misha didn¡¯t want to use chopsticks and insisted on Xia Xue feeding him.
¡°Young master seemed more and more like a child!¡± Although, Xia Xue wasining, but she felt very sweet in her heart. No matter what Misha is like, as long as he could forget Feng Qi Qi, even if he became a fool, she would be willing to stay with him!
Su Mei looked at the two people in the courtyard and slowly retreated. When she returned to the city of Min province and told everything of Misha and Xia Xue to Feng Qi Qi, Feng Qi Qi sighed.
¡°Miss, are you not happy? If you¡¯re unhappy, this subordinate will go and kill them!¡±
¡°No need.¡± Hearing Su Mei say that, Feng Qi Qi shook her head. ¡°Like Lian Sheng said. In the past life, he repaid me a life. Before, he took the poison and died one time. He also repaid adoptive father a life. Moreover, after eating my pill, Lian Sheng¡¯s mind would gradually degenerate. In the end, he would be and innocent child and wouldn¡¯t have the ability to hurt people anymore. We are even now!¡±
Feng Qi Qi raised her head and looked at the distant sky. Adoptive father, was I right by doing this? Although, I really wanted to kill him to avenge you, but the you in heaven wouldn¡¯t want us to massacre one another!
After dealing with Misha¡¯s matter, Feng Qi Qi felt that the gloominess in her heart was gone. Misha be someone of the past. With such a loyal person like Xia Xue at Misha¡¯s side, they would have a fresh start.
With the disappearance of the danger and Misha¡¯s grudges, Feng Qi Qi slept very well and deeply this night.
It was a very quiet night. A silver moonlight prated and spread over Feng Qi Qi¡¯s body and ted her with ayer of light.
¡°Who?¡± Su Yue who kept the watch, heard someone approach. She immediately came out to check. When she saw the person who jumped down, Su Yue was very surprised, ¡°Gu...guye?!¡±1
Wasn¡¯t Feng Cang at the south of ten thousand miles away? Why did Feng Cang appear here? After the surprise, Su Yue was very excited. She was just about to go tell Feng Qi Qi but was stopped by Feng Cang.
¡°Shhh!¡± Feng Cang covered in dust appearance looked a bit sorry. However, the chaotic hair on his forehead didn¡¯t let his appearance lose points. Instead, it added some heroic spirit on him. ¡°Where is Qing Qing?¡±
¡°Miss is already asleep...¡±
¡°I know. Let me! You can go rest!¡±
Feng Cang lightly entered the room. When he saw the person on the bed who let his soul be entrapped, and his dreams be troubled, Feng Cang almost couldn¡¯t help himself from wanting to kiss her. It was just, looking at Feng Qi Qi sleeping so sweetly, Feng Cang carefully took of the armor and also carefully walked to the bed.
1. Guye: son-inw, used by wife¡¯s family
Chapter 178 (Part 1) Gu poison’s residual effects
Chapter 178 (Part 1) Gu poison¡¯s residual effects
Inside the dream, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s brows were smoothed, and her mouth had a small smile. Her face was charming. Looking at the little person he thought about day and night, Feng Cang smiled. He reached out and pushed away the hair on her forehead.
Feng Qi Qi was in a very deep sleep. She didn¡¯t sense that someone was beside her. Feng Cang¡¯s gaze went lower and fell on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s slightly bulged belly.
Because it was hot, Feng Qi Qi only wore a thinyer of unlined garment. At this time, she was asleep on her side. Her belly looked slightly swollen. From Feng Cang¡¯s point of view, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly had a slight curvature that was neither small nor big.
When he left, she was still in shape. Now that he returned, their child had already grown up in her belly.
Feng Cang quietly went to bed andy behind Feng Qi Qi. He reached out and hugged her from behind. His big hand enveloped her belly. His heart was full of happiness. That kind of satisfaction passed from his fingers to his heart.
¡°Mm...¡± Feng Qi Qi twisted a bit to find afortable position. She was asleep again. The two¡¯s position was like two spoons sticking together. Feng Cang dropped a light kiss on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ear.
Having been on the road, it had been a long time since Feng Cang had closed his eyes. Now, at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side, all the tight emotions he had were now gone. He held his wife and child and fell asleep.
Only when Feng Qi Qi woke up did she discover that something was out of ce. When she looked, a hand was on her belly.
With only one nce, Feng Qi Qi recognized this hand as Feng Cang¡¯s. When she turned, that devilishly beautiful face of Feng Cang was behind her head. It had been a long time since shest saw Feng Cang. Feng Cang¡¯s face showed exhaustion. There was a thinyer of stubbles on his chin.
Looking at his appearance, it had probably been a long time since he slept well. Feng Qi Qi turned carefully and looked at Feng Cang face-to-face. Her small hand stroked his chin that had be thin. Only after she touched those stubbles that pricked people, was Feng Qi Qi sure that Feng Cang was in front of her now.
So great! Feng Qi Qi chuckled. She went forward a bit. Her small mouth printed a kiss on Feng Cang¡¯s lips.
When Feng Qi Qi¡¯s lips were about to leave his, Feng Cang opened his eyes. That pair of devilishly beautiful eyes stared at Feng Qi Qi. That pair of eyes kept discharging many sparks, making Feng Qi Qi unable to withstand them. A whileter, her face began to burn. ¡°You¡¯re awake. When did you return...¡±
While she was talking, Feng Qi Qi moved backwards. Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were obviously full of love, and coupled with a burning desire, making Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart begin to beat quickly.
Feng Qi Qi kept moving backwards but was held by Feng Cang. He put her body close to his body, ¡°Qing Qing, such a dragonfly touched the water lightly is not a kiss, yo!¡±
A dragonfly touches the water lightly: superficial contact
Not waiting for Feng Qi Qi to understand, that handsome face of Feng Cang zoomed in in front of Feng Qi Qi, followed by a soft and gently material enveloping her lips. At the same time, his tongue pried her rose like lips open. Feng Qi Qi already forgot what to do. Her fragrant lips initiated slightly. His tongue passed through her teeth and entangled with her fragrance.
¡°Mm...,¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s whole body went soft and pasted herself in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. His hand went into her inner clothing and climbed up along her spine. That tingling sensation began to spread along her back. Until when his hand was on her cloud (breast), did her body shook slightly.
¡°Cang...¡±
¡°Qing Qing, did you miss me?¡± Feeling the softness of the little person in his arms, Feng Cang reluctantly left her lips. ¡°I missed you very much...¡±
Facing Feng Cang¡¯s eyes that were full of affection, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were full of spring. Her lips, because of the kiss of just now became red like blood as if, if it was touched slightly blood will drop out from it.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak. Feng Cang refused to stop. His fingers went up the front and teased a particr somewhere, ¡°Tell me, Qing Qing, did you miss me?¡±
¡°Miss... Cang, don¡¯t...It¡¯s early in the morning...,¡± Feng Cang¡¯s skilful hands made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s small face and all the way to her neck be stained with redness. How could she not know Feng Cang¡¯s thoughts?
¡°Qing Qing...¡± Feng Cang¡¯s lips went to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ear and said his desire. ¡°Jin Mo said that you¡¯re stable now. We can get appropriately close. As long as we control the strength, we wouldn¡¯t hurt the baby.¡±
Such loving wordsing from Feng Cang¡¯s made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart beat faster. Seeing that Feng Cang want to untie her unlined garment, she quickly reached out and stopped him. ¡°My belly is now like this...it¡¯s not beautiful...¡±
It turned out that she refused because of this!
Feng Cang stopped the ¡®work¡¯ of his hand and kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. ¡°Who said my Qing Qing is ugly? My Qing Qing is the most beautiful woman! No matter what time, you¡¯re the most beautiful! Moreover, that Qing Qing is like this now, is also because of me. I should also take responsibility!¡±
Feng Cang patted Feng Qi Qi¡¯s bulged belly full of affection. ¡°I feel that you¡¯re particrly charming like this.¡± When Feng Cang spoke, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly suddenly moved making Feng Cang startled.
Seeing Feng Cang like this, Feng Qi Qiughed. ¡°Baby knows that daddy returned and is greeting you!¡±
Feng Qi Qi said this made Feng Cang became a bit of a fool because of happiness, ¡°Qing Qing, are you saying that our baby is moving?¡±
¡°Yes! It¡¯s been more than four months. Now, it¡¯s possible to feel the fetal movement!¡± Feng Qi Qi took Feng Cang¡¯s hand and teach him how to feel the fetal movements. Sure enough, not a whileter, from Feng Cang¡¯s palm spread the kind of special feeling like fish sshing in the water.
¡°I felt it! I felt it!¡± Feng Cang eximed from surprise. ¡°He¡¯s greeting me! He knows that I¡¯m daddy!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded her head gently. ¡°This is probably the so-called blood is thicker than water!¡±
¡°Thank you, Qing Qing...,¡± Feng Cang hugged Feng Qi Qi excitedly. His lips pasted on her ck hair. He said, ¡°Thank you! Qing Qing! Thank you for giving me a home! Thank you for giving birth to my children! Thank you for staying with me...¡±
When facing Feng Qi Qi this man always held a grateful attitude. At this time, the child in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly also seemed to have felt the deep love between his parents. He began to slowly move as if he was cooperating with his parents.
When Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi rose up, the sun was already very high.
Feng Qi Qi took a de and carefully cleaned the stubbles on Feng Cang¡¯s chin. A whileter, a devilishly beautiful man appeared in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°Shaved beard looks better! Young and handsome!¡± The wet cloth in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand gently cleansed Feng Cang¡¯s stubbled beard.
¡°It seemed that Qing Qing is someone who likes the visuals! Then I should be happy with my countenance and take care of my appearance?¡±
¡°Of course! The husband is so handsome. It will also give me face when bringing you out!¡±
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi chatted happily while walking out of the room. Outside, Su Mei, Su Yue and Nn Xin already waited a long time. When they saw Feng Cang, everyone bowed respectfully. Feng Cang nodded and took Feng Qi Qi for breakfast.
¡°Cang, you returned?¡±
¡°I was worried about you! One hundred people faced five thousand people. Don¡¯t you know that people will worry?¡±
It turned out that Feng Cang already arranged everything of the battle at the front and specially came back to see Feng Qi Qi. In the end, on the way, he received Nn Xin¡¯s urgent letter. Only then did he know that the city of Min province was surrounded. He immediately rushed to her without stopping. He didn¡¯t expect that when he returned, Feng Qi Qi already handled everything.
¡°Am I not all right now?!¡± Feng Qi Qiughed, but Feng Cang tapped her nose. ¡°I know Qing Qing is smart, but I was still worried and afraid for a long time!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I will pay attention next time! Moreover, weren¡¯t those five thousand people scared away...?¡±
¡°You, ah...¡±
Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t tell Feng Qi Qi that after he got to know that someone had ideas about Feng Qi Qi, he sent the eagle troop to outnk Tian Zhi Xin¡¯s group. Now, presumably those five thousand men went to see the king of hell. They had the guts to had ideas about his wife, they should also bear his furry.
The breakfast was spent in happiness. After the breakfast, Feng Qi Qi nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. ¡°Why did youe back so sudden? Is something the matter?¡± Although, just now Feng Cag exined the reason, but Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t believe it. ording to Feng Cang¡¯s character, he would certainly take over Dong Lu in one swoop. Now, he suddenly returned. Something had definitely happened.
¡°Qing Qing, I want to go to Peni Ind!¡±
That Feng Cang suddenly wanted to go to Peni Ind surprised Feng Qi Qi a bit. She immediately sat up and looked at Feng Cang. ¡°Didn¡¯t we say to go after the war ended? Is it that Forget Love began to act up?¡±
Facing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s clear eyes, Feng Cang nodded. He didn¡¯t hide his business. ¡°I also don¡¯t know if it acted or not. It¡¯s just, I can¡¯t remember many things about our past anymore...Qing Qing, I¡¯m a bit afraid. I¡¯m afraid that I would really forget you...¡±
Feng Cang said this meant that the problem was already serious. It seemed that the timeline Jia Lan talked about had advanced. They had to make a trip to Peni Ind.
¡°I won¡¯t let you forget me! If you dare to forget me, then just wait and see!¡± The smile on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face hid her anxiety. ¡°Then let¡¯s set off. I will let people bring Jia Lan and Jin Yu over!¡±
It would at least take half a month to go to Peni Ind on water. So, on the big boat, fresh water and enough food for a month had been prepared.
¡°Nn, trouble you to take care of Dong Lu¡¯s matter!¡±
¡°Wangye,1 don¡¯t worry! When you and wangfei 2 returns, Dong Lu would no longer exist!¡±
After saying goodbye to Nn Xin, Feng Cang boarded the ship and stood beside Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Set sail!¡± The signal of the boatman sounded. The ship slowly sailed out of the port.
It was the first time for Su Mei and Su Yue to take a ship. The waves and wind were big on the sea. The two were somewhat ufortable and were seasick for a long time. Fortunately, Jin Mo was here. He made some pills ording to their body type. In two days, the two adapted to the life of sea.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t have seasickness. Instead, she was enthusiastic every day and took Feng Cang to fishing.
¡°Wangye, this is thetest pill.¡± Taking advantage that Feng Qi Qi was taking a nap at the bow of the boat, Jin Mo gave Feng Cang a small bottle. ¡°One a day. You can¡¯t eat to much!¡±
¡°I know.¡± Feng Cang put the small bottle in his chest.
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t you n on telling princess? She¡¯s also an expert in this area. Perhaps, she could help you!¡± Jin Mo was a bit worried about Feng Cang. ¡°Wangye, its better you find an opportunity to tell princess!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want her to be worried!¡±
While saying this, Feng Cang¡¯s hand shook slightly. He gritted his teeth and forcibly supressed this tremor.
Chapter 178 (Part 2) Gu poison’s residual effects
Chapter 178 (Part 2) Gu poison¡¯s residual effects
Since the Red River, this kind of tremor had been going on for about three months. The attacks would ur on a regr basis every day. As the time went by, the attacks became longer. Before, it was only a slight trembling. Now, when the attacks are happening, he couldn¡¯t hold things anymore. He wouldn¡¯t even be able to hold a cup.
¡°Wangye1, princess and I came from a famous master. Princess¡¯s medical skills are a level above mine! Telling princess sooner would also benefit you, ah!¡±
¡°It¡¯s useless!¡± Feng Cang smiled helplessly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that this is the residual effects of the gu?! The gu was transferred to Qing Qing¡¯s body. Without the restrain of the gu poison, the fetal poison began to behave unscrupulously. Only Peni Ind has the cure for the fetal poison. Qing Qing also can¡¯t help!¡±
Seeing Feng Cang being so stubborn, Jin Mo sighed. ¡°Wangye, I said before, between a husband and wife, there should be honesty. Although, perhaps your starting point may be good, but have you ever thought what princess would think? You¡¯re fighting an illness, but she didn¡¯t know. By then, how guilty would she feel and how heartbroken would she be?¡±
Jin Mo said so much in one breath made Feng Cang have a whole new level of respect for him. ¡°Jin Mo, I didn¡¯t expect you to know so much about the matters of love! You really can¡¯t tell, ah!¡±
¡°Wangye, don¡¯t make more fun of me. Princess is alreadying over...¡±
Jin Mo¡¯s voice just fell when Feng Qi Qi was already standing behind Feng Cang. ¡°Cang, senior brother, what are you talking about?¡±
¡°We¡¯re betting! Jin Mo said that today I won¡¯t catch any fish. I said that I would definitely catch a big fish for you to nourish your body. Jin Mo didn¡¯t believe it. So, we could only bet!¡±
¡°Oh? Bet? Good! Do you already know what the bet is?¡± Feng Qi Qi looked slyly at Jin Mo. ¡°Senior brother, since it¡¯s a bet, you should take out the good things, otherwise, you would be too stingy.¡±
Jin Mo could only smile bitterly seeing this couple echoing one another. ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal! If I lose I will tell you a secret about wangye. If I win, wangye need to promise me one thing.¡±
Hearing Jin Mo say this, Feng Cang knew he was ying tricks. No matter if he loses or wins, Jin Mo would tell Feng Qi Qi about the residual effects of the gu. Now, she is pregnant. If she is scared and frightened because of his matter and hurt the baby in her belly, then, what should he do?
¡°Jin Mo, why don¡¯t we change the stakes?! If you lose, then jump in the sea as food for the fishes. If I loses, I will jump. What do you think?¡±
Feng Cang was obviously stopping Jin Mo from telling Feng Qi Qi, but Jin Mo¡¯s duty was to take care of Feng Cang. This time, he refused topromise. For a time, these two began to exchange res and ignored Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Are you to having a secret?¡±
Feng Qi Qi had long discovered that there was something wrong with these two men. Now, they were full of ¡®tender feelings¡¯ and ¡®casted amorous nces¡¯ at each other, making Feng Qi Qi even more sceptical. She took one step forward and separated Feng Cang and Jin Mo.
¡°Tell me, what is the matter?¡± Feng Qi Qi crossed her shoulders and make a strong impression with her belly. She looked at Feng Cang, wanting to find some clues from his handsome face.
¡°Nothing is the matter...,¡± Feng Cangughed charmingly. He wanted to hold Feng Qi Qi¡¯s waist, but was avoided by her.
¡°Senior brother, you tell me! What is Cang hiding from me?¡± Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t find the answer from Feng Cang, so, she looked for it from Jin Mo.
Feng Cang did a ¡®shut up¡¯ gesture behind Jin Mo. Although, Jin Mo wanted to say, but after all Feng Cang was his master. He couldn¡¯t vite the will of his master. He could only smilingly y dumb. ¡°Junior sister, I was joking with you! What secret can wangye have?! Could you not know what kind of man he is?¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
These two people seemed to have conspired with each other. Their mouths are so sealed. Feng Qi Qi wanted to find out the reason, but no one cooperated. She had no way about where to start.
¡°Qing Qing,e, sit here! Drink water...,¡± Feng Cang helped Feng Qi Qi sit down and poured water. Just as he lifted the teacup, his hand suddenly began to shake. ¡®Kuangdang...¡¯ The teacup fell on the deck and broke into several pieces.
Feng Cang paled. Then, he hid his hand in his sleeve. ¡°Haha, the storm is really big...,¡± Feng Cang smiled softly.
¡°There¡¯s no storm!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s abnormal behaviour was keenly captured by Feng Qi Qi. She stood up and walked to Feng Cang. She reached out and grabbed his hand but was avoided by Feng Cang.
¡°I didn¡¯t burn. you don¡¯t have to worry!¡± Feng Cang took a step back. He hadn¡¯t retreated yet, when Feng Qi Qi flipped out. ¡°Stop! Reach out your hand!¡±
The people who were used to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s gentleness had been frightened by her sudden ¡®lion roar¡¯. Even Feng Cang was startled. Feng Qi Qi quickly walked to him and grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s hand. When Feng Cang¡¯s trembling hand came out of his sleeve, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°What had happened?¡±
Feng Qi Qi habitually ced her fingers on Feng Cang¡¯s wrist.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, Qing Qing. Jin Mo already made medicine for me...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Feng Qi Qi shouted. Feng Cang understood that she was really angry this time. Seeing that Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face was so grim, Feng Cang stood well-behavedly for the first time in front of Feng Qi Qi. He was like a child who did something wrong and motionlessly waited to be ¡®reprimanded¡¯.
¡°When did this happen?¡±
After checking one hand, Feng Qi Qi reced it with the other.
¡°It began the first time I met Misha...¡±
¡°It had been so long?¡± Feng Qi Qi frowned. After checking, Feng Qi Qi turned and faced Jin Mo. ¡°Senior brother, what is your opinion?¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s the residual effects of the gu. Although, the gu poison had been induced in your body, but without the restrain of the gu poison, the fetal poison began to behave unscrupulously. This is also why wangye¡¯s Forget Love acted in advance and the amnesia happened sooner than expected.
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts coincided with that of Jin Mo. She took the medicine Jin Mo made for Feng Cang. Feng Qi Qi put it under her nose and sniffed. When she wanted to try it, she was stopped by Feng Cang and Jin Mo at the same time. Only now did Feng Qi Qi remembered that she is pregnant and that she couldn¡¯t just try medicines. She simply began to discuss the condition of Feng Cang with Jin Mo.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi and Jin Mo was discussing in full swing and ignored himpletely, Feng Cang felt a bit bitter. It seemed that he really did wrong. This time he really offended Feng Qi Qi!
After Feng Qi Qi and Jin Mo finished discussing, Jin Mo stood up happily. ¡°Junior sister, I will add the two kinds of herbs you talked about!¡± After getting the prescription, Jin Mo was like he won a treasure. He left Feng Cang and hurriedly went into the cabin to prepare his new medicine.
Finally, he got the opportunity. Feng Cang walked to Feng Qi Qi and slowly lowered his body. ¡°Qing Qing, I didn¡¯t purposely hide this from you! I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°Humph! How dare I question the regent¡¯s decision?! As far as the regent is concerned, I¡¯m and outsider. The baby in my belly is also an outsider. That is why, I shouldn¡¯t intervene in your things. You also don¡¯t need my care. You and I are not family. So, there¡¯s no need for you to report everything to me!¡±
Feng Qi Qi was really angry. Feng Cang actually didn¡¯t say a thing of such a big matter. ording to Jin Mo, Feng Cang¡¯s situation had extended from his hands to his arms. Moreover, the time it happens also extended. This was also why Feng Cang would suddenly put down the matters of the war and wanted to go to Peni Ind sooner.
Although, Feng Qi Qi could understand that Feng Cang did it for her to not let her be worried, but after it happened, and she got to know the truth, she still couldn¡¯t control her emotions.
¡°Qing Qing, I didn¡¯t think so. You¡¯re my wife. How could you have nothing to do with me?!¡±
¡°Since I¡¯m your wife, why did you hide things from me? You told Jin Mo but didn¡¯t tell me. Am I in the first ce in your heart?!¡± While speaking, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears began to fall, making Feng Cang more apprehensive.
¡°Qing Qing, it¡¯s my fault. Don¡¯t cry!¡± Feng Cang wanted to wipe Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears, but his hand was thrown away by her. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! I hate you!¡±
Having said this, Feng Qi Qi stood up and strode back to the cabin.
Although the scene on the deck made Su Mei and Su Yue didn¡¯t know what to do, but now, after casting a nce once at Feng Cang, the two went into to the cabin to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s room.
Feng Cang had been standing on the deck. His outstretched hand still held the posture of wiping Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears. His fingers trembled slightly. This kind of tremor spread from his wrist to his arm.
It seemed that this time he really made Feng Qi Qi angry! It seemed that this was the first time Feng Qi Qi got angry ever since they¡¯ve met.
Inside the cabin, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears didn¡¯t stop from falling. When Su Mei and Su Yue entered and saw such a Feng Qi Qi, the two went forward andforted her. ¡°Miss, guye2 didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Guye was afraid that you would worry, affect your emotions and that it would be bad for the baby!¡±
¡°I know!¡± Feng Qi Qi choked with sobs. ¡°I know he did it for my own good, but I¡¯m so sad!¡±
¡°Miss...¡± Su Yue just sat next to Feng Qi Qi, when Feng Qi Qi threw herself in her (SY) arms. ¡°Su Yue, I¡¯m so useless! I¡¯m a doctor and saved many people but couldn¡¯t cure my own husband! I know that he was afraid that I would worry. So, he kept these from me and didn¡¯t tell me. I know I shouldn¡¯t have gotten angry with him. I was really angry at myself!¡±
¡°Woowoo...I¡¯m so useless. I couldn¡¯t cure him. I¡¯m so useless...woowoo...I me myself for not having learned enough from master. If I could¡¯ve learned master¡¯s skills, Cang wouldn¡¯t have to endure this pain...¡±
It turned out that Feng Qi Qi¡¯s sadness wasn¡¯t because Feng Cang kept a secret from her, but it was because of this.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi cried like this, Su Yue and Su Meiforted Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Miss, this isn¡¯t your fault! If there¡¯s someone to me, it¡¯s the one who poisoned guye! Miss and guye are such good people; why did you had to suffer so many tests and tortures?! It¡¯s really unfair!¡±
While Su Mei talked, her eyes also became red. It was Su Yue who was more rational at this time. ¡°Miss, cry! Cry out all the sadness and grievances in your heart! After you cry, you will feel a lot better!¡±
Feng Qi Qi cried for a long time before she stopped. Seeing Su Mei with red eyes, Feng Qi Qi spoke in a low muffled voice, ¡°Su Mei, why are you crying?¡±
¡°I...,¡± Su Mei wiped her face. Sure enough, it was a hand full of tears. ¡°Look what happened to me! I wanted to persuade miss. I didn¡¯t expect myself to cry.¡± Su Mei turned her face and wiped the tears. Then, she brought water for Feng Qi Qi to wash her face.
¡°Miss, since the things have already happened. Let¡¯s face it together! Now, it¡¯s no longer meaningful to look into who is wrong. After a while, we will arrive at Peni Ind! By then, guye would be cured and you also don¡¯t have to worry anymore!¡±
Su Mei wringed the towel and gave it to Feng Qi Qi. ¡°You cried for so long here. Guye must be very worried outside. Miss, guye is already very remorseful. If you continue to cry, guye would probably jump in the sea!¡±
Su Mei¡¯sst sentence amused Feng Qi Qi. After washing her face, Feng Qi Qi felt a lot refreshed.
¡°Su Mei, Su Yue, thank you! After letting out all the low feelings in my heart, I feel a lot better! You¡¯re right. I should be more optimistic! As long as we cure the fetal poison in Cang¡¯s body, the residual left by the gu poison would also be solved!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s mood became better. Su Mei and Su Yue also felt relieved. After the two went out, they discovered Feng Cang outside of the door.
¡°Guye, miss is waiting for you!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a smile. They made way and let Feng Cang enter.
Before, Feng Cang had been outside of the room. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s cries spread out from the room, making his heart ache a lot. The thought that this was all because he made Feng Qi Qi sad, Feng Cang was very remorseful. He hated himself for not listening to Jin Mo. He should¡¯ve told Feng Qi Qi these sooner. Like that, he wouldn¡¯t have make her sad.

Chapter 179
Chapter 179 (Part 1) The trip to Peni Ind
As soon as he entered and saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s red swollen eyes, Feng Cang immediately came to her side. "Qing Qing, are you alright?!"
Seeing Feng Cang again and thinking about her ¡¯poor¡¯ attitude towards him, Feng Qi Qi was a bit embarrassed. "I¡¯m sorry..."
"I¡¯m sorry..."
They didn¡¯t expect that they would both apologize to the other at the same time. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything else and looked at Feng Cang. After a long while, sheughed. "You know that when a woman is pregnant, her temper would get worse? Just now, I shouldn¡¯t have been angry with you. I¡¯m sorry!"
Compared to the ¡¯tigeress¡¯ image of just now, Feng Qi Qi was so gentle now, making Feng Cang relieve his uneasiness. "I should be the one to apologize! Jin Mo had long told me to be honest with you, but I was worried about too many things. I didn¡¯t tell you and let you be worried!"
"It¡¯s alright! Everything is over now! Don¡¯t mention it again!"
Feng Qi Qi took the initiative to kiss Feng Cang¡¯s face. "After we arrive at Peni Ind, all these problems wouldn¡¯t be problems anymore! I believe that we will be fine! Add oil!"
"Mm! Add oil!" Feng Qi Qi¡¯s fighting spirits influenced Feng Cang. The two had experienced so many things, but still insisted and believed in a better future. Now, what are these difficulties inparison?!
The ship sailed for half a month at sea. Fortunately, there was Jia Lan. Every time there was a storm, they were able to avoid it.
Jia Lan was very curious about the grudge between Feng Qi Qi and Misha. Feng Qi Qi briefly told him about reincarnation. She didn¡¯t expect that Jia Lan had done some research on reincarnation. He didn¡¯t think that this was anything odd. Only then did Feng Qi Qi learn that Peni Ind advocated reincarnation and believed that people had a past and future life.
After knowing that Feng Qi Qi had let Misha go in the end, Jia Lan bowed deeply to Feng Qi Qi. The misunderstanding he had for Feng Qi Qi was also resolved.
After spending twenty-eight days at sea, they finally saw an ind in the distance covered by a dense fog. Surrounded by clouds, the ind looked like a fairnd on the sea. When they got closer, the people saw that it was a verdant ce. There were fields all over the ind. There was nothing that was not fresh and natural.
The ship reached the shore. There was a small ferry. When the ship stopped at the dock, Jia Lan made an appearance. Immediately, several young boys waved at Jia Lan. "Third senior brother, you¡¯re back!"
"Third senior brother, third senior brother!"
After seeing Jia Lan¡¯s poprity, Feng Qi Qi smiled slightly. She hoped that he could help andmunicate a bit in front of Master Taixu. Recently, the residual effects of the gu were more vicious. On several asions, while they were eating, Feng Cang¡¯s hands would tremble so much that he couldn¡¯t pick up the dishes. Feng Cang was such a proud and strong-minded person. Now, he was being tortured by the pain of the illness. Whenever she saw Feng Cang pretending to smile, it made Feng Qi Qi wish that she could bear the pain for him.
"Third senior brother, who are they?"
After Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang and the others left the boat, the youngsters were very surprised when they saw that they were not from Peni Ind. Especially when they saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s appearance. They couldn¡¯t help butpare them to the seniors of the ind. They discovered that no one¡¯s appearance could look better than these two people. They became increasingly curious about their identities.
"Third senior brother, did you bring a gift for me?" A youngster smilingly walked towards Jia Lan and held his (JL) arm. "We all missed you so much."
"This..." Jia Lan was slow to react after the youngster mentioned gifts. This time, he had been ¡¯kidnapped¡¯ to this ce by Feng Qi Qi. When did he have the time to prepare gifts?!
Just when Jia Lan was about to say no, Feng Qi Qiughingly said, "Your senior brother has been thinking about you all the time. He¡¯s prepared many gifts. They¡¯re all in the cabin!"
When the youngsters heard that there were gifts, everyone shouted, "Thank you senior brother." Everyone went on the deck and rushed to the cabin.
"Little monkeys!" When Jia Lan looked at the youngsters, his gaze was particrly gentle. After they went on the boat, Jia Lan thanked Feng Qi Qi. "Thank you!"
"You¡¯re wee! I hope they would like it!"
Before Feng Qi Qi came, she let people prepare gifts. It was nothing more than a few specialities of the maind such as snacks, handiworks and so on. They hade here to ask for help. They should also bribe them a little.
After a while, the youngsters rushed off the boat while carrying boxes. "Senior brother, the gifts are not bad, ah! I really like them!" One youngster held a ss bead against the sun and looked at it. The others also thanked Jia Lan. They carried the three boxes full of gifts to the ind.
"Senior brother, we will distribute the gifts first! We will wait to have dinner with you tonight!"
After the youngsters left, Jia Lan led Feng Cang and his group to the ind. Along the way, Jia Lan acted like a host and introduced everything to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi.
It turned out that this Peni Ind was nothing more than an ordinary ind. It wasn¡¯t as brilliant as the rumors of the maind made it seem. On the ind, the residents were like themoners of the maind. They lived a simple life. This was a country without heavy taxes and had no emperor. The one who had the highest authority at Peni Ind was the master Jia Lan had mentioned...Master Taixu.
After the people of Peni Ind turned ten, they would be sent to the only Nuwa temple on the ind for spiritual practice. When they reached twenty, the excellent disciples would be asked to stay. The others would return home.
Master Taixu had five great disciples. Jia Lan was the third one and was called third senior brother by the others.
Each year, new disciples were constantly being introduced. Most of them were taught martial arts by these five great disciples. So, not only were they seniors, but they¡¯re also masters. Those youngsters of just now had been studying under Jia Lan¡¯s tutoring.
Nuwa temple was located on the highest mountain of the ind. Because Feng Qi Qi was pregnant, they stopped a few times on the road. When they arrived at Nuwa temple, it was already evening.
They had just entered the temple when they heard the sound of the bell. The tone was long and spread throughout the entire ind.
"The people on the ind judge the time based on our bell. Now, it¡¯s time to go home from work and have dinner!"
Jia Lan took Feng Cang and the others to the guest area in the temple. They hadn¡¯t arrived yet when a group of boys and girls came to them. They hadn¡¯t seen people from outside the ind before. So, they gathered not too far away and curiously looked at these ¡¯foreigners¡¯. asionally, their whispering voices spread over. It was nothing more thanments about Feng Qi Qi¡¯s and Feng Cang¡¯s appearance.
"Are all the people of the maind so beautiful?"
"I don¡¯t know. It should be! Why do you think third senior brother brought them here for?"
"I don¡¯t know..."
The performance of the youngsters made Jia Lan a bit embarrassed. He could only turn and exin to Feng Cang. "It had been a long time since Peni Ind has received guests. The children see it as a fresh experience."
"No problem." Feng Cang didn¡¯t feel disgusted by those innocent boys and girls. Just now, when they¡¯d walked past, those adults also looked at them like this. However, there were no maliciousness in their eyes. They only felt curiosity.
"Third senior brother, why did you onlye back now?!"
At this time, a red wind rushed over and mmed into Jia Lan¡¯s arms, causing him to almost fall. Then, a sweet "Third senior brother!" reached everyone¡¯s ears.
"Third senior brother, you¡¯ve returned!" A little round face came out of Jia Lan¡¯s arms. It turned out that it was a girl of about five years old. Her hair was tied in pigtails. Her cheeks were red like an apple. The only shoring was that Xiao Mi¡¯s upper lip was split open up to her nose. This cute girl actually had cleft lips. Because of that, she couldn¡¯t speak so clearly due to the air leakage.
"Third senior brother, I missed you so much!"
"Xiao Mi, you¡¯ve got more meat on you now!" Even though he said that, he still carried Xiao Mi easily. Hearing Jia Lan say that she¡¯d gained weight, Xiao Mi pouted. "Third senior brother doesn¡¯t like fat girls? However, Xiao Mi is fat like this, what to do? Doesn¡¯t third senior brother like Xiao Mi anymore?"
The voice just fell when the little girl¡¯s eyes were covered in ayer of tears as though she would cry if Jia Lan said no.
"How will that happen?! I like Xiao Mi, no matter how you look!"
"Third senior brother is the best!" Xiao Mi kissed Jia Lan¡¯s face. Then, she looked curiously at Feng Qi Qi. "This big sister is so beautiful! Just like goddess Nuwa, she has a red mole on her forehead."
Xiao Mi was very cute. Plus, her cleft lips made Feng Qi Qi feel more sympathetic towards this little girl. "Thank you, sweetie!" In Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand appeared a rabbit made from pearls. The eyes of the rabbit were made from red agate. A little girl like Xiao Mi naturally liked cute little animals. This pearly rabbit looked full of vividness. That pair of red eyes was very beautiful, making Xiao Mi love it very much.
"Sweetie¡¯s words are so sweet. This little rabbit is a gift for sweetie!"
When Feng Qi Qi handed the pearly rabbit to Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi looked inquiringly at Jia Lan and waited for Jia Lan to nod.
"Thank you big sister..." The moment Jia Lan nodded, Xiao Mi jumped down and took the pearly rabbit. She smiled sweetly towards Feng Qi Qi. "Thank you, big sister! Beautiful big sister is the best! I like you the most!"
When Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t pay attention, Xiao Mi quickly kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s cheek. Then, sheughed.
The child was so innocent and lively, making people like her a lot. However, her cleft lips was very regrettable...
"Xiao Mi, did Master came out of seclusion?"
Hearing Jia Lan ask this, Feng Qi Qi realised that Xiao Mi was Master Taixu¡¯s granddaughter.
"Grandpa has longe out! However, eldest senior brother, second senior brother and you weren¡¯t here. Grandpa has asked many times where you went, but I didn¡¯t betray you!"
"Mm, Xiao Mi is the best!" Jia Lan carried Xiao Mi and went into the guest area with Feng Qi Qi and prepared more rooms for them.
"I will go see Master first. I wille backter to invite you!"
"Thanks..."
After leaving the room, Jia Lan carried Xiao Mi and went to Master Taixu. This was a quiet courtyard. Jia Lan pushed the wooden door open and went in. He saw a grey-haired old man watering the vegetables in the garden of the yard.
"Master, I¡¯m back!"
"Mm, you know how toe back? A group of wild monkeys!" Mater Taixu watered the nt. He didn¡¯t turn his head. Xiao Mi broke free from Jia Lan¡¯s arms and jumped to Master Taixu and showed off her pearly rabbit.
"Grandpa, look, look. Isn¡¯t little rabbit cute?"
"Cute!" Although in front of Jia Lan, Master Taixu was a severe mentor, but in front of his little granddaughter, he was a very kind and very benevolent old man. "Xiao Mi, who gave it to you?"
"A very beautiful big sister! Right, grandpa, that big sister looks like goddess Nuwa. It is the first time that Xiao Mi saw such a beautiful person!"
Xiao Mi¡¯s words made Master Taixu frown a bit. Then, his big hand touched Xiao Mi¡¯s head. "Xiao Mi, go see if uncle Niu has finished preparing dinner! We will have dinner shortly!"
"Mm, mm! Dinner!"
After Xiao Mi left, Master Taixu¡¯s expression immediately changed. "Jia Lan, you brought strangers to the ind? Could it be that you don¡¯t know the rules?"

Chapter 179 part2
Chapter 179 (Part 2) The trip to Peni Ind
"Master, this disciple is wrong!" Jia Lan knelt. Peni Ind generally didn¡¯t ept outsiders, especially strangers. Jia Lan hadpletely broken the rules.
"What is going on? Speak..."
Master Taixu didn¡¯t have the intention of allowing Jia Lan to stand up. Jia Lan told everything while kneeling. After hearing Feng Cang¡¯s identity, Master Taixu frowned. "Are you sure he has the Forget Love?"
"Yes, master. He¡¯s already showing the symptoms of Forget Love. Master, Feng Cang¡¯s maternal grandmother Jun Lan Mei was also a disciple of Peni Ind. Besides, the Forget Love in his body was probably done by our own people. This disciple feels that this can¡¯t be separated from Peni Ind. It is reasonable to cure the poison for him. So, I brought him here."
"Get up!" Hearing Jun Lan Mei¡¯s name, Master Taixu was a bit surprised. His expression was a little weird. However, the expression appeared too fast. So quick that Jia Lan couldn¡¯t capture it.
"Invite them overter! Let this Master take a look at that Feng Cang! Don¡¯t let otherse. I will only see Feng Cang and his wife."
Hearing Master Taixu¡¯s words, it seemed that he¡¯d approved his (JL) actions. He immediately bowed to Master Taixu. "Thank you, master! Thank you!"
"You, ah..." Seeing Jia Lan like this, Master Taixu shook his head. "You worry the most about affairs that are not rted to you and also like peace the most...Really don¡¯t know if such a personality is good or bad."
"Of course, it¡¯s good! Master, I will go invite them!"
After arriving at the guest room, Jia Lan mentioned the words of Master Taixu. Feng Qi Qi held Feng Cang¡¯s hand. Her eyes showed excitement. "There is hope! Cang, you can be saved!"
Everyone could understand Feng Qi Qi¡¯s excitement.
During this period of time, the trembling of Feng Cang¡¯s hand became longer and longer. Every time it happened, it was during dinner. Feng Cang feared that he would affect the others from having dinner, so he ate inside the room. Feng Qi Qi would apany Feng Cang at this time and would personally feed him. Only after he had eaten would she eat. The love between this couple left everyone very moved. They also hoped that the poison on Feng Cang¡¯s body could be cured sooner.
Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and walked behind Jia Lan. Master Taixu pointed out that he would only see the two of them. The others stayed in the guest room. Jia Lan asked Jin Yu to take care of Jin Mo and the others. He led Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi to the back of the mountain.
They were halfway there when Feng Qi Qi suddenly spoke, "Jia Lan, thank you."
"You¡¯re wee!" Jia Lan turned his head and smiled. "You don¡¯t look like a bad person. Moreover, doesn¡¯t my body still have your poison? If I don¡¯t bring you here, then you wouldn¡¯t give me the antidote."
Hearing Jia Lan mention poison, Feng Qi Qiughed. "You really believed that I poisoned you? It¡¯s already been so long. Have you felt sick? Those were just two beauty pills. I let you and Jin Yu be my guinea pigs! You really thought that I poisoned you. I¡¯m not so bad."
Only now did Jia Lan know that the so called ¡¯Free and Unfettered¡¯ pill was fake. The antidote that was needed every month was also fake. He had fallen into this woman¡¯s trap. Jia Lan rxed after knowing that he wasn¡¯t poisoned. "Then I should thank you even more!"
Feng Cang maintained a smile. His fingers trembled slightly. Feng Qi Qi sensed that Feng Cang¡¯s illness was beginning to break out. She turned her hand and tightly held Feng Cang¡¯s hand. Suddenly, Feng Qi Qi changed the subject to Xiao Mi. "Jia Lan, do you have a way to cure Xiao Mi¡¯s cleft lips?"
"Cleft lips?" It was the first time Jia Lan heard of this. "There are many children on the ind who have this. Master thought of many ways, but he couldn¡¯t cure it."
Only after hearing Jia Lan say that, did she remember that some of the youngster she had seen before also had cleft lips. It was just, theirs weren¡¯t as obvious. "Jia Lan, cleft lips can be cured!"
"Really?" Jia Lan fiercely turned around and almost bumped into Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly. He quickly took a step back, but his eyes showed anxiousness. "Princess, what you said is true? Could the cleft lips really be cured?"
Jia Lan remembered that Feng Qi Qi was a doctor. She must have a reason for saying this. Thinking till here, Jia Lan was very excited. "Princess, if you can cure everyone¡¯s cleft lips, I believe that master will certainly cure wangye!"1
Feng Qi Qi also thought of this. After seeing Xiao Mi¡¯s cleft lips, Feng Qi Qi had been thinking about curing her. Firstly, it was to increase her bargaining chips to let Master Taixu cure Feng Cang¡¯s poison. The other reason was because Xiao Mi was really cute. Such an innocent person had to suffer from cleft lips. This was something very distressing.
"I have a way to cure the cleft lips!"
"So great! Quickly, let¡¯s go tell master!"
After Jia Lan told Master Taixu that Feng Qi Qi could cure cleft lips, this old man stood up and strode to Feng Qi Qi. "Girl, are you telling the truth? You really can cure the cleft lips?"
"Elder, why would I lie to you?! Not only can I cure the cleft lips, I also know how to prevent it to avoid pregnant women giving birth to babies! If you trust me, I can give it a try!"
"Good! Good!" Master Taixu walked back and forth from excitement. "Our Peni Ind has about nine hundred people. There are 231 that have the cleft lips. Half of them are children. Girl, if you really can cure the cleft lips, you¡¯re the benefactor of our Peni Ind. No matter what you ask, I will promise you!"
"Elder, don¡¯t say this. I also came to seek medical treatment for my husband." Feng Qi Qi helped Feng Cang to let Master Taixu look at Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
"How could this be" Seeing Feng Cang¡¯s situation, Master Taixu quickly let him sit and personally checked Feng Cang¡¯s pulse.
"There¡¯s still a kind of residual poison in your body. So, it speeded up the Forget Love. I can only cure Forget Love¡¯s poison. I can¡¯t do anything about the other."
It was already good news that Master Taixu was willing to cure Feng Cang¡¯s poison. The gu poison was something that Nan Feng¡¯s Qiang tribe were the best at. They could only go look for them.
"Thank you! I¡¯m already very happy that you¡¯re willing to cure me." Knowing that Forget Love could be cured, Feng Cang was happier than anyone. The only thing that he was afraid of now was that he would forget Feng Qi Qi and forget everything about them. This was something Feng Cang couldn¡¯t ept.
"It¡¯s just, it needs time to cure the poison. Besides, it¡¯s very painful. I don¡¯t know if you..."
"I can bear anything! It doesn¡¯t matter!" Not waiting for Master Taixu to finish speaking, Feng Cang answered him firmly. Compared to forgetting Feng Qi Qi, what was the pain of curing the poison?!
"That¡¯s good!" Master Taixu stroked his beard and nodded. "Today, go have dinner and rest earlier. Tomorrow, I will take you to the river of forgetfulness."
The next day, Master Taixu and Jia Lan took Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi to the river of forgetfulness.
The so-called river of forgetfulness is a waterfall behind the mountains. The water of the river was brazenly hot. There were yellow bubbles on the surface of the water. At the edge of the cliff, the water poured directly into the deep pool. The entire river of forgetfulness exuded a stench. They hadn¡¯t approached yet, when that stench spread over.
"Ou..." Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. When smelling such an odor, her stomach would turn. She almost vomited all the things she ate in the morning.
"Qing Qing, wait for me here. I will go with them!" Seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face, Feng Cang¡¯s heart felt pain. He insisted on letting Feng Qi Qi stay here. He followed Master Taixu and Jia Lan to the river of forgetfulness.
"Forget Love is distilled from the river of forgetfulness. You got the Forget Love when you were in your mother¡¯s womb. This poison had already prated deep in your bone marrow. To get rid of the Forget Love, we could only attack poison with poison. It was just, the temperature of the water of this river of forgetfulness is very high. Moreover, the difference of the temperature during the day and at night is very big. It was generally difficult to persevere. You have been poisoned for a long time. To get rid of the Forget Love in you, you must stay in the pool under the waterfall for eighty-one days.
"Eighty-one days? Isn¡¯t that two and a half months?" Feng Cang turned and looked at Feng Qi Qi who was not far away. He was somewhat unwilling to be parted with her for so long, but when he thought about that if he didn¡¯t cure the poison, he would forget Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang still nodded resolutely. "Good! I promise you! However, can I go have a talk with my wife? She¡¯s pregnant. I¡¯m afraid that she would worry!"
"Alright!" Master Taixu nodded. His gaze followed Feng Cang who went to Feng Qi Qi.
When he saw Feng Cang¡¯s appearance, the elder had been recalling that woman in his memories...Jun Lan Mei. Speaking of it, Jun Lan Mei was his junior sister. That year, if it wasn¡¯t because Jun Lan Mei was selected, sent to Dong Lu and became the empress, they might have had a new beginning...
Lan Mei, I would take good care of your grandson.
When Feng Cang came back, Master Taixu smiled at him. "You made it clear to her? Don¡¯t worry, I will let Jia Lan bring you food every day! Eighty-one days would pass quickly. By then, after getting rid of the fetal poison, you wouldn¡¯t be bothered by the Forget Love again!"
"Thank you!"
Feng Cang didn¡¯t wait for Master Taixu to say anything else. he jumped from the waterfall and dived into the deep pool.
"Hey, I haven¡¯t finish speaking! Such an impatient brat!" Master Taixu looked down. He saw the ssh of water. Feng Cang emerged from the middle. After seeing that he was fine, did Master Taixu ease down.
"Don¡¯t use your inner energy, otherwise malicious energy would attack your heart! Just sit inside the water like how you usually y in water!"
When Master Taixu¡¯s voice spread from the top of the mountain, Feng Cang did as he said. He found a sunken ce and sat cross-legged. Apart from his head, his whole body was hidden in the water of the river of forgetfulness.
Just now, when he was on the top of the mountain, the water had an unusual smell. He didn¡¯t expect that inside the pool, the strange smell was even more intense. The temperature of the water was a bit hot. The water was still buzzing and making small bubbles like a pot of porridge.
"Girl, don¡¯t worry. He would fine! This brat is not bad!" When he went back, Master Taixu couldn¡¯t help but praise Feng Cang. He utterly fearlessly jumped from the waterfall and was able to bear the water of the river of forgetfulness were really amazing things.
"It seems that he really cares about you! Your choice of husband is not bad!"
Feng Qi Qi was very worried about Feng Cang. After hearing Master Taixu¡¯s praise of Feng Cang, her worry lessened a bit. Feng Cang was working hard. She should also work hard! She believed that eighty-one days would pass soon!
The people of the ind were very happy that the holy doctor from the maind could cure cleft lips. They came to the Nuwa temple to see the demeanor of the holy doctor.
When everyone saw that the holy doctor was a petite and pregnant woman, they were more surprised. "Holy doctor is so pretty and beautiful like Nuwa goddess!" "Yes! I didn¡¯t expect that the holy doctor is a woman!"
Had to say, the people of Peni Ind were very simple and honest. Master Taixu said that Feng Qi Qi could cure cleft lips, they believed that Feng Qi Qi could certainly do it and didn¡¯t doubt her the slightest.
Feng Qi Qi examined those people with cleft lips and carefully recorded their names, age and physical condition.
There were more than two hundred people on Peni Ind that had cleft lips. Had to say, it was a veryrge number. Fortunately, there was Su Mei¡¯s, Su Yue¡¯s and Jin Mo¡¯s help. So, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t feel so tired.
After recording the conditions of these patients, Feng Qi Qi split them in three types. One type was the slight one. The second type was the medium one. The third time was the heaviest one. She intended to cure them in three batches.
After a busy day, Feng Qi Qi sweated from being tired.
"Girl, how is it?" Master Taixu had came over several times. Seeing that Feng Qi Qi was busy, he didn¡¯t bother her. Now, that she finished, he let the disciples brought dinner over. He came to Feng Qi Qi. "Don¡¯t feel so anxious to finish. You¡¯re pregnant! Your body is the most important!"
Hearing the concern in Master Taixu¡¯s words, Feng Qi Qi smiled happily. "Thank you, elder! Today, I only recorded the conditions of the patients. The surgery still has to wait for a few days. I need some tools for the surgery."
Feng Qi Qi took out her own paintings of needles, scalpels, gloves, cleaning clothes, etc and gave the paintings to Master Taixu. "I have to trouble elder to prepare these for me. I will take a stroll on the ind these two days to see what caused so many people on the ind to have cleft lips. By then, I wille up with a cure."
"Good, good! I will immediately let people go prepare. Really thank you so much!"
Master Taixu was very excited. These cleft lips had been a big problem of Peni Ind. There were many residents of the ind who had cleft lips. This problem had continued for many generations and hadn¡¯t been resolved. Now, Feng Qi Qi could cure the cleft lips. This was simply a great help to Peni Ind.
The next few days, Feng Qi Qi under Jia Lan¡¯spany strolled around the entire Peni Ind. Along the way, she saw many innocent children smile at her with cleft lips. Feng Qi Qi felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders even more.
"I think I know the cause of the cleft lips!" On the third evening, after returning to Nuwa temple, Feng Qi Qi told the result she got to Master Taixu.
Wang/wangye: first-rank prince ?
Chapter 180 part1
Chapter 180 (Part 1) Returning to the country
It turned out that the people of Peni Ind took meat as the main food and didn¡¯t like to eat vegetables. She strolled through whole Peni Ind and didn¡¯t see many families eat vegetables and fruits. Here, they used all kinds of meat, birds and animals to entertain guests, but no vegetables.
The folic acid in vegetables and fruits is a very important nutrient. It ys a very crucial role during the pregnancy. The residents of the ind liked meat and hated vegetables; plus, the fact that many people married their close rtives on the ind, the cleft lips became a gic disease and had been passed down through generations.
Master Taixu couldn¡¯t understand what Feng Qi Qi said. "Girl, what is the folic acid you talked about? Could it be that we will get it if we eat vegetables and fruits? Since it was like his, then why can¡¯t folic acid be made. Are you not a doctor?"
Master Taixu¡¯s words made it difficult for Feng Qi Qi. In the modern world, it is indeed possible to extract folic acid. However, in the ancient times, there were no advanced equipment. How could the folic acid be extracted?!
"Elder, I really don¡¯t have a way to make it. Moreover, there are some degree of poison in medicine. Instead of using drugs to supplement the nutrients the body needs, it¡¯s better to take it from food. This is more beneficial to the human health."
Feng Qi Qi made very sense. Master Taixu nodded. "Good! I will spread the two points you mentioned! First is to include fruits and vegetables into the diet. Especially pregnant woman must eat several vegetables and fruits daily. Secondly is that immediate families are forbidden to marry within three generations."
"Right! That¡¯s it! I believe that if you insist on it, there will be fewer and fewer children with cleft lips. The residents of the ind would also be healthier."
Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t think of other methods at the moment. She also didn¡¯t see those fruits and vegetables rich in folic acid on the ind. They could only wait for people to send the seeds afterwards to Peni Ind. However, she made a nutrition list ording to the diet of the residents on the ind, let master Taixu sent it to each household and let the everyone adjusts their diet ording to the list.
After finding out the reason, Feng Qi Qi began to do surgery for the residents with cleft lips. The surgery wasn¡¯t difficult. It only required an assistant. Considering that in the future more children with cleft lips may be born who also needed the surgery, Feng Qi Qi specifically called Jia Lan in as her assistant. In fact, she wanted to teach Jia Lan how to perform the surgery of cleft lips. After all, after Feng Cang is cured, they still have to go back to Bei Zhou and couldn¡¯t continue to stay here. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day!
When Jia Lan knew that Feng Qi Qi wanted to pass her valuable skills to him, he was very excited. It should be noted that in this era, these techniques were passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, it was usually passed to the boy and not the girl and also wouldn¡¯t be passed to outsiders. Feng Qi Qi actually passed it to him so generously; how could Jia Lan not be excited? Every day, he followed behind Feng Qi Qi and became more focused.
Feng Qi Qi divided the residents with cleft lips into three groups. Among which toddlers younger than one year were ssified into one group. She performed the surgery first one them.
Due to the hurry, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t have much anesthesia. Fortunately, there are many Datura flowers at the cliff of the South Mountain. Feng Qi Qi let Su Mei and Su Yue pick them. After drying it, it was used for other drugs. It became anesthesia and solved the problem.
The residents of the ind were very surprised after they heard that the female holy doctor could cure the cleft lips through surgery. However, after listening to Feng Qi Qi exined the process of the surgery, those people who had hoped to cure the cleft lips, all backed down.
"Master, it¡¯s not that we doubt the ability of female holy doctor. It is that we had never seen any cleft lips surgery. If, if it was a failure, then wouldn¡¯t it ruin everyone?!" An elder man on the ind represented and expressed the thoughts of the residents.
"Yes, yes! No one had ever done the cleft lips surgery. How would we know if it would seed?!"
"This..." Hearing everyone say this, master Taixu looked at Feng Qi Qi. To be honest, it was reasonable that everyone had this fear. After all, it was difficult for people to ept something unknown and they wouldn¡¯t cooperate easily.
The residents of the ind didn¡¯t cooperate. Feng Qi Qi also didn¡¯t know how to persuade them. Without a sessful case, these people wouldn¡¯t believe her. They would only believe what their eyes see.
"I¡¯ve a way!" At this moment, a sweet voice could be heard. Feng Qi Qi turned and saw that the one who spoke was Xiao Mi.
"Beautiful sister, I¡¯ve a way!" Xiao Mi jumped to Feng Qi Qi and snuggled into her arms. "I also have the cleft lips. Sister can cure me first. As long as I¡¯m cured, it would mean that beautiful sister didn¡¯t lie. Everyone can believe beautiful sister then!"
The sudden emergence of Xiao Mi and her words undoubtedly helped Feng Qi Qi a great deal. Originally, master Taixu wanted to do this. He didn¡¯t expect that his good granddaughter mentioned it first. "Right, girl, perform the surgery on Xiao Mi first! I believe you!"
Feng Qi Qi was very touched with master Taixu and Xiao Mi¡¯s support. She didn¡¯t expect that they believed so much in her. She didn¡¯t say anything else, Feng Qi Qi, Su Mei and Su Yue went to prepare for the surgery of Xiao Mi.
For the room of the surgery, Feng Qi Qi specifically selected a room that was sunny and dry. Before the surgery, the entire room waspletely disinfected.
Feng Qi Qi, Jin Mo and Jia Lan wore surgical gowns and entered the room. On the bed, Xiao Mi who took the anesthesia was already in deep sleep.
"Let¡¯s start!" Feng Qi Qi used high concentration of alcohol to disinfect Xiao Mi¡¯s upper lip. Then, she picked up a thin de. "Cooperate with me ording to the steps I will be talking about!"
Feng Qi Qi took the de and cut two times on Xiao Mi¡¯s lips. When the blood flowed out, Feng Qi Qi reached out and said, "Give me the crochet needle and the baleen!" Jin Mo quickly handed Feng Qi Qi the crochet needle with baleen on it. Jin Mo took over the de in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand.
Feng Qi Qi sewed the inside of the lips together. Her sewing skills were very great. Only in a blink of eyes, the inside of Xiao Mi¡¯s upper lips had been sewn together. The outer part of the lips was also sewn with the same stitches.
Because the skin of the lips had been cut open, the two pieces of bloody meat were tightly connected by the stitching of the needles.
"Medicine!" Feng Qi Qi reached out. Jia Lan handed her a small bottle. She poured an herbal ster that was like a sheep¡¯s fat. She gently rubbed the herbal ster on the wound. Originally, the blood was still flowing. After meeting with this herbal ster, it immediately solidified.
"Carry Xiao Mi to the bed and let her take a rest. After the anesthesia loses effect, she would feel a bit pain. But, it¡¯s not a big deal. With my ster, the lips would be fine after four to five days. Not to mention, a child¡¯s ability to recover is very strong. It won¡¯t take long before her lips will be the same as ordinary people¡¯s."
The whole surgery didn¡¯t take a long time. When Feng Qi Qi came out, master Taixu went anxiously to her. "How is it? How did it go?"
"The surgery was very sessful, but the post-operative care should be paid attention to. I will personally take care of Xiao Mi. Don¡¯t worry!"
Sure enough, after the anesthesia dispersed, Xiao Mi woke up from pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw Feng Qi Qi. She (FQQ) was holding a fan and gently fanned her (XM). Feng Qi Qi¡¯s appearance made Xiao Mi¡¯s eyes wet. She said one word, "Mother..."
"Xiao Mi, you¡¯re awake!" Feng Qi Qi was very happy that Xiao Mi woke up. "Is it very painful? Bear with it a bit. Our Xiao Mi is a strong child. Hold it a bit. After the wound is healed, you will be able to speak and eat like before!"
"Mother, woowoo, Xiao Mi misses you!"
Seeing Feng Qi Qi being so gentle and cared so much for her, Xiao Mi cried. Her small hands clutched Feng Qi Qi¡¯s clothes and refused to let go.
Feng Qi Qi had long heard Xiao Mi¡¯s history from Jia Lan. Her parents suffered a storm during a fish trip on the sea and died on it. Because master Taixu and Xiao Mi¡¯s grandfather were friends, after Xiao Mi became an orphan, master Taixu took Xiao Mi in and treated her like his own granddaughter.
Now seeing Xiao Mi keep calling "mother", a soft ce in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart was also moved. This child surely missed her mother! Really a child who would let people love!
Feng Qi Qi stayed with Xiao Mi the whole afternoon. She fed her and applied medicine for her. She also told Xiao Mi a lot of fairy tales.
"Beautiful sister, the Cowherd and the Weaver can only see each other once a year. They are so pitiful!"
"The Little Red Riding Hood should not meet the wolf again!"
"Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after. Where did the seven dwarves go to?"
Xiao Mi¡¯s innocent voice was continued heard from the room, letting Jia Lan¡¯s mouth be in a rising arc after he kept listening. Unexpectedly, that woman had such a gentle side...
Until after Xiao Mi fell asleep did Feng Qi Qi gently withdrew her hand from Xiao Mi¡¯s. After covering her with a nket, Feng Qi Qi went out of the room.
At this point, the sun was already gone. Feng Qi Qi shook her sore neck. She didn¡¯t take two steps when her legs went soft.
"Be careful!" A pair of hand supported her. Feng Qi Qi looked up and saw that the person was Jia Lan.
"Thank you..." Feng Qi Qi thanked politely.
"Are you alright? It had been hard on you! You¡¯re pregnant and still need to do these things. In the future, if there¡¯s something, just call me!" Jia Lan was really concerned. After seeing the tiredness from the woman¡¯s face, Jia Lan intended on helping her to her room. At this time, Su Mei walked over.
"Miss!" Seeing that Feng Qi Qi was very tired, Su Mei quickly went forward and supported Feng Qi Qi. "Miss, are you alright?!"
"I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m only a bit tired. It would be fine after a rest."
Before leaving, Feng Qi Qi said goodbye to Jia Lan. Jia Lan gestured with his hand and watched the pair of master and servant leave.
When he went to the river of forgetfulness to give Feng Cang dinner, Jia Lan flew to below the waterfall. He sat on therge rock on the shore. While watching Feng Cang eat, he chatted with him. However, usually, it was him who talked. Feng Cang didn¡¯t talk much.
At this time, it was evening. The temperature of the water in the pool was no longer as aze and had been quickly dropping. Feng Cang¡¯s face was still red. Now, it was beginning to turn white and even somewhat blue.
"Feng Cang, you have to hold on! Princess is still waiting for you!" While speaking, Jia Lan admired Feng Cang very much. Even he didn¡¯t dare to touch the water of the river of forgetfulness easily. The temperature of the water changed greatly. Moreover, the stench would let people unable to bear with it. Let alone, soak in the water.
"I know." Feng Cang finally opened his mouth and said some words. "Help me tell Qing Qing to let her take care of herself well. Do the surgeries slowly. I believe in her ability! Also...I miss her."
After Jia Lan heard this sentence, he blushed. How could he pass the love words between this couple? It was just, Feng Cang already said it. He, this messenger should pass the words.
Chapter 180 (Part 2) Returning to the country
Chapter 180 (Part 2) Returning to the country
After returning, Jia Lan knocked on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s door and conveyed Feng Cang¡¯s words. At the end, Jia Lan¡¯s face was somewhat hot and he sent a very ufortable look at Feng Qi Qi.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Feng Qi Qi raised her head and looked at Jia Lan. ¡°Did Cang have something else to say?¡±
¡°He told me to tell you that he misses you.¡± While saying this, Jia Lan blushed like a cooked shrimp, making Su Mei and Su Yueugh. ¡°Our guye1 lets you convey words, why are you blushing?!¡±
¡°I...¡± Being made fun of by Su Mei and Su Yue made Jia Lan feel a bit embarrassed. ¡°I haven¡¯t been such a messenger before, so...¡±
¡°Oh, so you¡¯re shy?¡± Su Mei flew forward and went to Jia Lan. ¡°Tsk, tsk. I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯re so thin-skinned. How would you get a wife in the future?¡±
¡°Unless I leave Master¡¯s division and live a normal life, I won¡¯t be taking a wife.¡± Jia Lan said these words very seriously, but it made Su Meiugh. ¡°What does that have to do with us if you do or don¡¯t take a wife? Why be so serious? Really muddle-headed!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll leave first...¡± In order to avoid being made fun of again, Jia Lan ¡®ran¡¯ out of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s room.
¡°So funny. He¡¯s shy, miss!¡±
From afar, Su Mei¡¯s voice reached Jia Lan¡¯s ears and made his face burn even more. So strange. Why did this happen? Could it be the weather is too hot?
Feng Qi Qi let Su Yue carry Xiao Mi to her (FQQ) room and let her sleep on her (FQQ) bed. Feng Qi Qi was afraid that she would get a fever at night, so she woke up several times. Only when it was dawn did she fall asleep.
Four dayster, when Xiao Mi stood in front of the residents of the ind, their eyes were wide as they looked at Xiao Mi.
¡°Xiao Mi¡¯s cleft lips is gone! Xiao Mis¡¯ cleft lips is gone!¡± Some children circled Xiao Mi and began to shout. Now, the residents believed in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s skills. One by one, they requested Feng Qi Qi to treat them.
¡°Grandpa!¡± Xiao Mi was being carried by Master Taixu. When he saw the light scar on Xiao Mi¡¯s lip, the elder was very happy. ¡°Girl, thank you! I don¡¯t know how to thank you!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be so polite. I still need to thank you and Xiao Mi for believing and supporting me!¡±
A momentter, Feng Qi Qi made a list and arranged the order for those who needed the surgery. Everyday, there would be four surgeries. In addition, Feng Qi Qi also wrote down the post-surgery care and sent it around the ind to let the residents know how to take care after the surgery.
For a period of time afterwards, Feng Qi Qi was busy from morning to night. Everyday, she had to do four surgeries and also had to check the recovery of the patients. The days were busy and satisfying. And her belly looked like a ball. Everyday, it was different.
In a blink of an eye, two and a half months had passed. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly was already more than eight months. At the beginning, the surgeries were done by her. Later on, she handed them over to Jia Lan and Jin Mo. Jin Mo was originally a doctor. His skills were excellent. After training for a period of time, Jia Lan could also perform the surgeries.
After this period of hard work, those people who¡¯d suffered from cleft lips were now cured. Many people had recovered. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s poprity soared in Peni Ind and became the female holy doctor in the eyes of the residents.
¡°Cang, am I not very powerful?¡± At the river of forgetfulness located near the waterfall, Feng Qi Qi sat on a rock on the shore and looked at Feng Cang.
At first, she couldn¡¯t get ustomed to the smell of the river of forgetfulness, but she couldn¡¯t stop her yearning for Feng Cang. Every few days, she woulde visit Feng Cang and gradually adapted to the smell of the river of forgetfulness.
¡°Of course, my Qing Qing is powerful.¡± Feng Cang was in the water, but his hand was on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s bulged belly. Feng Qi Qi said that when the child is in the mother¡¯s womb, the child would be born more clever if the father talked more to the child. So, every time Feng Qi Qi came over, Feng Cang would put his hand on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly and chat to the child.
¡°Cang, persist for a few more days. Then you can be liberated! Do you know? Without you at my side, I can¡¯t rest well at night!¡± Feng Qi Qi pouted and acted cute, making Feng Cang feel as sweet as if he had eaten honey. ¡°Qing Qing, it has been hard on you! You had to take care of yourself and those patients. I couldn¡¯t be at you side, letting you suffer!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t suffer! As long as you¡¯re healthy, I wouldn¡¯t feel that I¡¯ve suffered! Don¡¯t you think so, baby?!¡± When Feng Qi Qi spoke, the child in her womb also moved. Feng Qi Qi smiled proudly at Feng Cang, ¡°See, the child agrees with me!¡±
Because she was heavily pregnant, the femininity of Feng Qi Qi was more intense, making Feng Cang dazed. ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±
If it wasn¡¯t because he was still inside the river of forgetfulness, Feng Cang would certainly couldn¡¯t help himself from kissing Feng Qi Qi. It was just, now the beauty was in front of him, but he couldn¡¯t do anything. This made Feng Cang wish even more that time could pass faster. It had been a long time since hest hugged Feng Qi Qi. The loneliness of soaking every day in the river of forgetfulness was very difficult to bear.
¡°Cang, I and the baby will wait for you!¡± Feng Qi Qi reached her hand and put it on Feng Cang¡¯s big hand. Her eyes were full of determination. ¡°Persisting is victory. We will wait for you!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words were like a tranquilizer and became the driving force behind Feng Cang. The time flew. It was finally the 81th day. Feng Cang came out of the river of forgetfulness. Feng Qi Qi, Jin Mo and the others waited at a side to meet him.
¡°Cang...¡± Feng Qi Qi wanted to jump into Feng Cang¡¯s arms but was stopped by him. ¡°My body smells. After I take a bath I will let you hug me!¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang was still concerned about his image at this moment, Feng Qi Qi chuckled. She quickly returned with Feng Cang. Warm water had long been prepared. Feng Cang took a very long bath. After he thought that the smell on his body was clean did he change into clean clothes.
When he saw Feng Qi Qi again, he didn¡¯t wait for her toe over, Feng Cang already went to her and hugged her.
It was just, when he held Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang felt a bit ufortable. After searching for a long time, he discovered that this kind of ufortableness was because a big ¡®obstacle¡¯ was caught in the middle of them . This made Feng Cangugh. ¡°It seemed that in the future, I can only hold Qing Qing from behind!¡±
¡°Did I get fat very ugly? I was afraid that you can¡¯t hug me anymore!¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s small face blushed. Although, she was saying this, but her eyes showed pride. Except from those things she couldn¡¯t adapt to in the beginning, now, she enjoyed being a pregnant woman very much.
Not waiting for Feng Qi Qi to finish, Feng Cang carried her. ¡°No matter how heavy you are, I will be able to carry you! Moreover, I¡¯m happy to carry my wife and child!¡±
Everyone was happy for the lovers who had experienced those things together. Master Taixu checked Feng Cang¡¯s body happily. Then, he stroked his beard smilingly, ¡°The Forget Love on your body had been removed. In the future, you wouldn¡¯t be disturbed by the fetal poison anymore!¡±
Hearing these words, Feng Cang stood up and deeply bowed at Master Taixu. ¡°Thank you, elder!¡±
¡°The one who need to say thank you is me! Thanks to girl, the disease that had gued our Peni Ind for so many years had been treated. I should be the one thanking you!¡±
Master Taixu knew that after Feng Cang¡¯s illness is cured, it was the time for them to leave. Although, after getting along this period of time, Master Taixu had a good impression of Feng Qi Qi and would love it if they stayed a while more, but Feng Qi Qi was about to give birth. Plus, the fact that there is a child gu on the child and they still had to bring the child to Nan Feng, so, Master Taixu didn¡¯t retain them.
After resting for a day, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi bid farewell to Master Taixu.
When the inhabitants of the ind learned that the female holy doctor was about to leave, they came to Nuwa temple to pay their gratitude to Feng Qi Qi. Later they spontaneously brought various food from their homes and prepared fresh water for them.
After getting on the boat did Feng Qi Qi discover that Jia Lan was also on board. She was a bit surprised. ¡°Jia Lan, are you not staying on Peni Ind?¡±
¡°I want to send you back to the maind! The boatman had only been here once and didn¡¯t know how to sail. He needs someone to guide him!¡±
After Jia Lan said this Feng Qi Qi nodded. When the boat left Peni Ind, the people of the ind waved at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s group. Only after the boat was far away did the crowd reluctantly left.
On the way back, Feng Cang¡¯s hand no longer showed tremors. After Jin Mo checked Feng Cang, he was surprised to find out that the residual of the gu poison had also disappeared. This news made Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang very happy.
Originally, they thought that they had to go to Nan Feng and let the chief of Qiang tribe solve Feng Cang¡¯s residual poison. They didn¡¯t expect after soaking in the river of forgetfulness, thest remains of the poison was also gone. To Feng Cang, this was the best news.
The boat sailed for a month before it reached the maind. They had encountered several big storms on the way. Fortunately, there was Jia Lan. So, they were able go through safely.
The boat finally docked at the port of Dong Lu. Feng Cang and the others had just came ashore when a soldier came forward. ¡°Are you the regent and princess Zhen Guo?!¡±
This soldier was wearing the military uniform of Bei Zhou. The moment he saw Feng Cang, he immediately knelt. ¡°Wee regent! Wee princess Zhen Guo!¡±
A short whileter, Nn Xin rushed over. Nn Xin became very excited after seeing Feng Cang. He immediately bowed in front of Feng Cang. ¡°Wangye,2 you¡¯ve returned!¡±
¡°Get up!¡± Seeing Nn Xin acting like this, Feng Cang naturally knew that Nn Xin had seized Dong Lu. He was indeed the man he favored.
When he saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯srge belly, Nn Xin was obviously a bit ¡®scared¡¯. He was used to seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s graceful figure. He was a bit unustomed now that she¡¯d be like this.
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were weed into the estuary. Nn Xin reported the current situation of Dong Lu. Now, there were no longer Dong Lu and Xi Qi in this maind. Only Bei Zhou and Nan Feng were left.
After she heard that Ming Yue Cheng had captured Xi Qi and that Longze Jing Tian abandoned the city to escape, Feng Qi Qiughed. ¡°Didn¡¯t think that Ming Yue Cheng was also such a fierce character! What about Shangguan Wu Ji?¡±
Hearing Feng Qi Qi mention Shangguan Wu Ji, Nn Xin sighed in pity. ¡°Shangguan Wu Jimitted suicide by cutting his throat...¡±
¡°What?¡± This result was beyond Feng Qi Qi¡¯s expectations. She didn¡¯t expect that Shangguan Wu Ji wouldmit suicide. ¡°How could this be?¡±
¡°Shangguan Wu Ji was defeated at great general¡¯s hands. Great general wanted to persuade Shangguan Wu Ji to surrender, but after Xi Qi was vanquished, Shangguan Wu Jimitted suicide. He said that he couldn¡¯t protect Xi Qi, he was ashamed to face his ancestors...¡±
Nn Xin¡¯s words made Feng Qi Qi silent. When she thought about the time when she had firste to Bei Zhou and how Shangguan Wu Ji carefully looked after her and once wanted to elope with her; that simple young man actually used his own blood to write the word ¡®loyalty¡¯. Why was he so foolish?!
Anyone could see that Feng Qi Qi was in a bad mood. Nn Xin retreated silently. Feng Cang stood behind Feng Qi Qi. His big hand hugged her from behind.
¡°Are you sad for general Shangguan?¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Qi Qi honestly nodded. She saw Shangguan Wu Ji as a friend. Although Xi Qi and Bei Zhou¡¯s standpoint were different and made them couldn¡¯t help but stand on the opposite side of each other, but she had never thought that such a result would ur.
Why did he have to use such a way to end his life? He obviously had more choices! He really was foolish!
¡°Qing Qing, everyone has his own choice. For example, he chose to be loyal. Another example, Longze Jing Tian chose to flee...¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t eat vinegar after seeing Feng Qi Qi grieve for Shangguan Wu Ji. How could he not know her thoughts?! She saw Shangguan Wu Ji as a friend. Now, she had lost this friend. It was only human that Feng Qi Qi was feeling sad.
It was just, Feng Cang was more sensible than Feng Qi Qi and also understood Shangguan Wu Ji more than her. That man had chosen suicide to end his short life. Presumably, half of it was to follow his vanquished country Xi Qi. The other half was because he couldn¡¯t get the woman he loved. So, his heart had long dried up and had been waiting for an opportunity to free himself of the worldly worries!
Because Feng Qi Qi would be nine months pregnant soon, they didn¡¯t stay too long because the time of birth was approaching. They only rested for two days. Then, they took a carriage and drove to Bei Zhou¡¯s capital Yan. Jia Lan didn¡¯t follow Feng Qi Qi to Yan. Instead, he bid them farewell and boarded the boat back to Peni Ind.
On the way, Feng Cang was a bit nervous. Jin Mo told him about all the problems that could arise when a woman gives birth. Originally, he wanted Feng Cang to be prepared. He didn¡¯t expect that a ¡®difficult birth¡¯ scared Feng Cang. He was afraid that Feng Qi Qi would encounter things like a difficult birth. He feared the bumpy ride even more and that Feng Qi Qi would give birth on the road. So, the speed was slowed down. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s safety came above everything else.
During this period, the fetal movements of Feng Qi Qi was particrly severe. Although the carriage was veryfortable, but her belly was too heavy, making her unable to sleep well at night. She could only rest intermittently during the day. Then, she would be awakened again by the fetal movements.
Seeing Feng Qi Qi feeling so ufortable, Feng Cang¡¯s heart ached a lot. He wished that he could suffer on her behalf.

Chapter 181 (Part 1) Giving birth (1)
When they arrived at Yan capital, it was already December. The weather was cold and there was snow everywhere. Fortunately, the people in the pce knew about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s return. They had long let people send over things to keep warm. Plus, with Feng Cang¡¯s careful care and also the well-behaved child in her womb, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t suffer too much.
When they arrived at Yan capital and returned to the regent¡¯s residence, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue had long been waiting. The moment they heard that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi had arrived, the two quickly went out.
¡°Mother, father...¡± The big-bellied Feng Qi Qi went down the carriage and saw Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. She wanted to bow but had been stopped by Wanyan Ming Yue. Wanyan Ming Yue went forward and supported her. ¡°Come, let mother take a look!¡± She checked Feng Qi Qi carefully from head to toe. After confirming that she didn¡¯t get thinner but instead got a lot chubbier, did Wanyan Ming Yueugh happily.
¡°Your father knew that you wereing back. He woke up early and had been waiting since then!¡± She looked once at the not very articte Feng Xie. Wanyan Ming Yue expressed these concerns for him.
¡°Thank you, father, mother! I let you worry!¡±
Feng Qi Qi smiled sweetly. The feeling of having a family was so good. Regardless of where she was, there were people who missed and are concerned about her. This was the first time she experienced such feelings. At this time, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart was filled with happiness. Aftering to this world, she got a lover and family members. This was something she never dared to desire in her previous life.
Inside the pce, after grand empress dowager Dongfang Lan heard that Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang had returned, she came to the regent¡¯s residence with little emperor Wanyan Jie.
¡°Grandmother! It¡¯s so cold. Why did youe? I just nned to go see you tomorrow!¡± Seeing that Dongfang Lan specially came to see her in this great winter, Feng Qi Qi felt apologetic.
¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t. Your body is heavy now. You can¡¯t move around very much. It¡¯s better that Ie to see you!¡±
Dongfang Lan stared a long time at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s big belly. ¡°The belly is pointy. It¡¯s certainly a small able-bodied man!¡± After waiting for such a long time, it turned out that Dongfang Lan talked about this. It made everyoneugh.
¡°Is aunty giving birth to a little brother? So great!¡± Wanyan Jie hadn¡¯t seen Feng Qi Qi for a long time. This time, Feng Qi Qi brought many gifts back for him. Especially a white conch made him unable to put it down. Now, hearing Dongfang Lan say that Feng Qi Qi is pregnant with a son, Wanyan Jie was so happy that he almost jumped.
¡°If aunty gives birth to a little brother, zhen1 will definitely protect him very well! Zhen won¡¯t let anyone bully him!¡±
While saying this, Wanyan Jie¡¯s innocent face clearly showed a matureness and unwavering that only adults could have. He said this as if it was a promise and that it wouldst a lifetime from the moment it was spoken.
Seeing Wanyan Jie¡¯s serious face, Feng Qi Qi reached out and touched his tender face. ¡°If aunty gives birth to a little brother, Jie er2 would have a friend! Little brother would also protect Jie er!¡±
At a side, after Dongfang Lan saw Feng Qi Qi make such a promise, she nodded slightly. After Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie heard their daughter¡¯s words, they also exchanged a smile.
The date of birth was originally expected to be the January the 8th. The child in her womb didn¡¯t seem to have the intension ofing out to see the period. There was no sign ofbor.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t care about such situation. Instead, it was Feng Cang who was a bit anxious.
¡°Why is it like this? It is already the expected date of birth.¡± Feng Cang couldn¡¯t wait to know how his and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child looked like. Now, the date of birth had passed several days. There had been no movement, making him who wished to be a father, couldn¡¯t hold it anymore.
¡°Baby, what are you doing? Why don¡¯t youe out?!¡± Feng Cang put his ear on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly and talked to the baby. His anxious appearance fell in Su Mei and Su Yue¡¯s eyes. Bothughed at a side. Even Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were amused by Feng Cang¡¯s action.
¡°Cang, it¡¯s better if you think about the child¡¯s name first!¡±
Feng Qi Qi ate an apple while her small hand touched her belly.
These past few days, the people of the entire capital had been trying to think of a name for the child in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s womb. Although, before the wedding of Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang was annulled but Feng Cang¡¯s identity was rewritten. Everyone understood that they aren¡¯t rted by blood, so, they epted this couple.
Moreover, without Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, how could Dong Lu be ssified as Bei Zhou¡¯s territory? Without Feng Xie, how could Xi Qi be utterly defeated? In one month, Feng family had be Bei Zhou¡¯s noblest surname. Regardless of which aspect, Feng family¡¯s credit was indispensable.
Inside capital Yan¡¯s gamble dens, the gamble had long been set up. It was a bet about whether the first child of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi would be a boy or a girl. All the officials and the citizens bet in the gamble dens.
Don¡¯t know which big mouth had spread Dongfang Lan¡¯s phrase ¡®pointed belly will be a boy¡¯. Everyone rushed like ducks and bet that Feng Qi Qi would give birth to a boy. When this news reached Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang, this couple coordinated well and sent people to the gambling dens and bet heavily on a girl.
¡°Cang, if it¡¯s really a son, wouldn¡¯t it be a money-losing thing! This time, I even put out my lifesavings!¡±
With the approaching date of birth, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s body became heavier. Now, her while body leaned on Feng Cang¡¯s embrace and put all the weight on him. ¡°I don¡¯t care! If I really give birth to a son, you need to pay me the money back!¡±
¡°Good, good, good! I will pay you all back! My person is already yours not to mention those mere worldly possessions!¡± Seeing his lovable wife act cute like this, Feng Cang put her hair behind her ears. ¡°If it¡¯s a son, I will throw him to Ming Yue Cheng and wouldn¡¯t care about him anymore! I don¡¯t want a son!¡±
¡°Why?¡±
That Feng Cang didn¡¯t want a son made Feng Qi Qi very surprised. Didn¡¯t the ancient people wanted to carry on the ancestor¡¯s line by having a son? How could Feng Cang not like a son?!
¡°If it¡¯s a son, there would be one more person who would fight with me for you. Where is there anything good about that?¡±
When saying this, there was obviously a deep jealousy in his words. This was only because he had identally heard Feng Qi Qi chat with Su Mei and Su Yue. She said she must give birth to a son. This way, there would be two men who would love her, so great! If she gives birth to a daughter, a daughter was the father¡¯s lover in the past life. She didn¡¯t want to give birth to a small rival and get annoyed in the eyes and in the heart!
Although these words were off the top of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s head, but it was remembered by Feng Cang. ording to Feng Qi Qi, if she gives birth to a son, then wouldn¡¯t it be her small lover of the past life? The moment he thought about this, Feng Cang would feel a sour taste in his heart. It was very ufortable.
Before, Feng Qi Qi mentioned to him that she had promised Ming Yue Cheng to let him be the godfather of the child. Plus, there was a gu on the child that needed to be removed, so, Feng Cang decided if she gave birth to a son, he would immediately throw it to Ming Yue Cheng and let him (MYC) bring the child back to Nan Feng. And, don¡¯te back to disturb his and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s world of two.
Feng Qi Qi heard something else from Feng Cang¡¯s words.
She made two ¡°tsk, tsk¡± sounds. Feng Qi Qi reached out and grabbed Feng Cang¡¯s chin. ¡°No shame, getting jealous of the child!¡±
Being teased by Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang felt embarrassed. Just at this time, Nn Xin came over. He told Feng Cang that there was something to talk about. Feng Cang took him to the study.
Watching the two people leave, Feng Qi Qi looked at Su Mei. ¡°Don¡¯t know if there¡¯s news from Wanyan Kang¡¯s side...¡±
Hearing Wanyan Kang¡¯s name, Su Mei blushed.
Although Su Mei didn¡¯t say anything, but Feng Qi Qi knew that Su Mei missed Wanyan Kang. After Dong Lu and Xi Qi sessfully became history, at the north, the Jurchen n seemed particrly stubborn and constantly resisted.
It was said that this time, the ones who were leading the Jurchen n were indeed Taji Guli and her little brother Guoba. These siblings were brave and the fact that there were no weak men in their army, so even after Dong Lu and Xi Qi perished, they still struggled, giving Wanyan Kang and Ruyi many headaches.
¡°I don¡¯t know if ah Kang cane back during the New Year...¡±
While Su Mei was thinking about Wanyan Kang inside Tingsong building, Nn Xin gave a shocking news to Feng Cang inside the study.
¡°What did you say? Say it once again?¡±
¡°Wangye,3 Taji Guli wanted to make peace. She only has one condition for the peace. That is, to form a marriage alliance between Bei Zhou and the Jurchen n. She wants to marry you. Her little brother Guoba wants to marry wangfei...¡±4
¡°Bullshit!¡± Feng Cang who had always been gentle, after hearing this, he swore.
¡°Did Xiaoyao wang also say this?!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s reaction was expected by Nn Xin. ¡°However, Taji Guli said, if Bei Zhou doesn¡¯t ept this condition, then Bei Zhou doesn¡¯t have any sincerity in making peace. Their Jurchen n will fight till the end even if there was only one person left.¡±
¡°Then, let them fight!¡± Originally, Feng Cang was in a good mood. After hearing Nn Xin mention Taji Guli, his mood immediately became very bad. What kind of thing actually dared to set eyes on his Feng Qi Qi? Really looking for death!
Feng Cang let Nn Xine in front of him and whispered a few words in his ear. ¡°Let people go do it!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Nn Xin smiled slightly. Taji Guli and Guoba were looking for death. Now, wangye is very angry. The consequences are very serious.
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Wang/wangye: first-rank prince
4. Wangfei: main consort of first-rank prince

Chapter 181 (Part 2) Giving birth (1)
When Feng Cang returned to the room, the child in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly was tossing from side to side very much, making her very ufortable.
¡°How is it? Is it serious? I will go call Jin Mo!¡±
Feng Cang wanted to leave, but Feng Qi Qi grabbed his sleeve. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. When it¡¯s almost time to give birth, it¡¯s always like this!¡±
Seeing Feng Qi Qi frown, Feng Cang pointed at her belly and shouted loudly, ¡°Listen well! If you continue to torment your mother, when youe out, I will p your butt! Did you hear?¡±
Don¡¯t know if it was because Feng Cang¡¯s words had an effect, the severe tossing stopped. Feng Qi Qi took deep breaths. ¡°You scared him like this, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯s even more reluctant toe out!¡±
¡°If he continues to bully you, I will really beat him!¡±
Seeing that Feng Cang loved Feng Qi Qi so much, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie was also assured. Although, it was said that the younger generation would do alright on their own, but they only have one daughter Feng Qi Qi. Before, they didn¡¯t have the chance to take care of Feng Qi Qi for more than ten years. This time, she was about to give birth. The two people were kept busy because of it.
Various rewards were sent from the pce to the regent¡¯s residence. Wanyan Ming Yue also made a lot of things like small clothes, small shoes and small jackets for the child. Feng Xie believed that this would be a grandson. He personally made a wooden horse and a wooden sword as if he wanted to train his grandson into the new generation¡¯s god of war.
As the time went, Feng Qi Qi still had no signs of giving birth. Those people who were worried in the beginning had also began to be ustomed to this. They prepared everything and slowly waited for Feng Qi Qi to show signs. Wanyan Jie woulde visit Feng Qi Qi every two days and chat with her. However, it was more talking to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly. Every time, he would leave reluctantly and unwillingly.
It was close to the New Year. Half a month had passed since Feng Qi Qi¡¯s estimated date of giving birth. The child still didn¡¯t want toe out. She, the mother, also didn¡¯t worry anymore.
This day, it was snowing. Feng Cang returned from the morning court. Feng Qi Qi could clearly sense that he was in a very good mood. She immediately clung to him and asked about it.
¡°Guess...,¡± After changing clothes, Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Is it that the north side won? Is it that we won?¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words made Feng Cangughingly tap her nose. ¡°Clever! Qing Qing had really be the worm in my belly!¡±
Be the worm of one¡¯s belly: read the other¡¯s mind
¡°Really? We really won? Then, is it that we don¡¯t need to go to war anymore in the future? When is ah Kang returning? So great! So great!¡± The moment she heard that the matter on the north side was resolved, Feng Qi Qi was very happy. Arge part of it was that she was happy for Su Mei. When Wanyan Kange back, it¡¯s just the right time for them to have a wedding!
¡°The Jurchen n was fighting among themselves. Guoba had been killed on spot. Taji Guli was seriously injured and fled. Without these two people, the Jurchens were like scattered sand. All the major tribes made themselves king. Now, they were so busy among themselves, how would they have time to fight the outsiders?!¡±
When saying this, Feng Cang¡¯s mouth lifted into a perfect arc. ¡°Let them massacre one another. It would be fine if we be the fisherman to catch both! It happened to be new year. It¡¯s the right time to let the soldiers rest a bit!¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t miss the smile on Feng Cang¡¯s lips. Seeing him smile like this, Feng Qi Qi crossed her arms and looked thoughtfully at him. ¡°Cang, how did the things end so quickly? Why do I feel that there¡¯s another meaning behind your words? Did you do something?¡±
That Feng Qi Qi was so smart made Feng Cang couldn¡¯t love this woman any more. This woman was cunning like a fox. He didn¡¯t say anything, but she was already able to guess what he did. ¡°I only incited some people and taught them to do some things. However, I was very good-hearted and didn¡¯t let them pay fees for the tutoring. I even sent people to help them, otherwise, with their ability, how would they be able to beat Guoba at once?!¡±
Hearing Feng Cang say this, Feng Qi Qi came to the realization. ¡°Did you send Fo Sheng Men¡¯s people?¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Cang nodded. Feng Qi Qi let out a sigh of relief. ¡°No matter what, the things are resolved. The trouble is also gone. We can also spend the New Year happily!¡±
When Su Mei heard from Feng Qi Qi that Wanyan Kang was already on the way back, she was overwhelmed with excitement. Only when Su Yue¡¯sughter reached her did she wake up.
¡°A certain someone is so happy for being able to see Xiaoyao wang1 soon!¡± Su Yue teased at a side, making Su Mei blush like a cooked shrimp.
However, Su Mei was also not someone easy to tease. She also opened her mouth, ¡°Su Yue, don¡¯tugh at me! Quickly give sir Nn a son! I see that he was very envious of wangye. You have to speed up, ah!¡±
¡°Damnss! What are you saying?!¡± Sure enough, now, it was Su Yue¡¯s time to blush.
Seeing Su Mei¡¯s and Su Yue¡¯s happy appearances, Feng Qi Qi was very satisfied. Wasn¡¯t a person in pursuit of happiness, peace and blessings for the whole life?! She already has this!
Those people who had been waiting for Feng Qi Qi to give birth, waited for a long time but didnt heard any movement. They almost became impatient.
However, such abnormality had another meaning for the citizens. Many people believed that since ancient times, only when a god is born would there be abnormalities. There had also been examples were saints stayed in the mother¡¯s body for twelve months before being born. So, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly was even more out of the ordinary for the citizens. There were also people who said that the child in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly was not an ordinary person, but a constetion of the stars.
In short, when all sorts of arguments reached Feng Qi Qi, she didnt know whether tough or not. Wasn¡¯t it just a monthte? Why did it change meaning after leaving the mouths of these people?
The New Year was getting closer and closer. ording to the usual customs, the new year should be spent in the pce. So, Feng Qi Qi with Feng Cang¡¯s careful escort went to Long Autumn pce. This year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve dinner was very lively. Although, Wanyan Jie was still young and didnt have an empress and consorts and the banquetcked women, but this was a real meaningful new year between a family.
¡°Nan Feng¡¯s emperor Ming Yue Cheng had arrived!¡± The New Year¡¯s Eve dinner hadn¡¯t started yet, when someone came to report to Dongfang Lan that Ming Yue Cheng had arrived. After hearing this news, Dongfang Lan immediately asked people to invite Ming Yue Cheng in.
¡°Haha, arriving early can¡¯t beat arriving at the right time! I smelled the taste of the New Year and came just on time! Don¡¯t know if you wee me or not.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was still dressed in a purple robe. His hair was in a beam. The one next to him was Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Wee, wee!¡± Dongfang Lan had a good impression of Ming Yue Cheng. Plus, it was because Ming Yue Cheng helped them this time when Xi Qi attacked that Bei Zhou was able to deal with the battle. It was all thanks to Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Qi Qi, long time no see!¡± Ming Yue Cheng looked smilingly at Feng Qi Qi. When he saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s big belly, a sorrowful sadness shed in his eyes. However, the speed was faster that the shooting stars in the sky, making people couldn¡¯t catch it.
¡°Long time no see!¡±
Feng Qi Qi moved aside a bit. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, then sit here! Let¡¯s have drink!¡±
¡°Can you still drink?¡± Ming Yue Cheng sat down. He also pulled Gu Yun Wan who was staring at Feng Qi Qi in daze to let her also sit.
¡°I can¡¯t drink, but I¡¯ve a man! You can make a night of it!¡±
Gu Yun Wan had been staring at Feng Qi Qi. Once, she had imagined countless times how Feng Qi Qi, this world¡¯s number one beauty would look like. It turned out that the famous princess Zhen Guo Feng Qi Qi who only used a hundred men and used the empty city stratagem to scare the enemy away was so petite and beautiful!
¡°This is...¡± Seeing Gu Yun Wan looking at her like this, Feng Qi Qi asked for her name.
¡°My name is Gu Yun Wan! You can call me little Wan!¡± Gu Yun Wan had a ttered feeling when Feng Qi Qi spoke to her. After knowing the stories of Feng Qi Qi, she admired Feng Qi Qi very much. Before, she had some prejudice against Feng Qi Qi. Now after seeing her in person these prejudices disappearedpletely. Instead, she wanted to be friends with this girl.
¡°Hello, little Wan. I¡¯m Feng Qi Qi! nice to meet you! You can call me Qi Qi!¡±
Only by hearing this name, Feng Qi Qi had guessed Gu Yun Wan¡¯s identity. The only daughter of Qiang tribe¡¯s chief, the former empress of Nan Feng and the empress dowager of now.
¡°Nice to meet you too!¡±
Gu Yun Wan was an outspoken and straightforward girl by nature. She hated girls who pretended to be shy and feigned being reserved the most. Now seeing Feng Qi Qi being so direct was really to Gu Yun Wan¡¯s taste!
Before meeting Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan wondered what kind of woman would be able to make Ming Yue Cheng repeatedly break the rules for her and even didn¡¯t hesitate to use the army to wipe out Xi Qi. Now, after facing that bright yet clear pair of eyes of Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan had to admit that even she would be attracted by her let alone men!
Before, Gu Yun Wan was very dissatisfied with Ming Yue Cheng for hurrying to Bei Zhou to spend the New Year. Therefore, she decided to follow him and see what was going on. Until this moment did Gu Yun Wan understand Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s thoughts. Feng Qi Qi was about to give birth. He must be worried. So, he came! Moreover, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child has gu poison in him. He probably wanted to bring the child back this time!
¡°Hey, Ming Yue Cheng, your eyes are not bad!¡± She took advantage of when people didn¡¯t pay attention and leaned to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing Gu Yun Wan, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hand that was holding the wine cup paused. After seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s happy face, Ming Yue Cheng poured the fine wine in his stomach.
The burn of the white wine stimted Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s throat. He thought that he could handle the situation calmly and could calmly face his and her and her happiness. However, after seeing her, he discovered that he was deceiving others and deceiving himself.
Even if he couldn¡¯t forget, but she was happy, he was also happy in his heart...
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng was in daze, Gu Yun Wan shook his arm. ¡°Why are you daydreaming?! Feng Cang is giving you a toast!¡±
After being shook like this by Gu Yun Wan, did Ming Yue Cheng see Feng Cang¡¯s smiling face and the jug in his hand.
¡°Thank you!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s words were brief and simple. A ¡®thank you¡¯ expressed the friendship between men. Feng Cang¡¯s thank you contained to many meanings such as thanking him for using the army against Xi Qi and alleviating the pressure of Bei Zhou; such as thanking him for giving up on Feng Qi Qi and didn¡¯te in between them; such as thanking him for the concern he has for their child. During the New Year, he even rushed here through rain and wind. Such as thanking him for many more things...
¡°You¡¯re wee!¡± Of course, Ming Yue Cheng understood Feng Cang¡¯s meaning. He admired this man. ¡®Kuang...¡¯ Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s cup gently touched Feng Cang¡¯s. ¡°It¡¯s what I should do!¡±
¡°I say, you¡¯re very unfriendly! Didn¡¯t even wait for me to have a drink!¡±
Just as the bell of the New Year was about to ring, a voice came over. Everyone looked. It turned out to be a dirty Wanyan Kang. Presumably he hurried the whole way, Wanyan Kang looked tired. His whole body was covered in dust. Only that pair of eyes still had spirit.
¡°Ah Kang!¡± Feng Qi Qi shouted. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Kang would be able to return during the New Year. Coming from the north, thendscape was turbulent. He must be on the road day and night to be able to arrive now.
¡°Cousin inw, when I left, you were still a graceful woman. Now that I returned, you became a big-bellied woman!¡±
Although he was in a sorry state, but Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t got rid of his character.
¡°Brat! You¡¯ve finally returned! Don¡¯t you know how worried Su Mei was from waiting?!¡± Maybe because many good things had piled up these days, making Feng Qi Qi in a very good mood. She stood up and walked to Wanyan Kang. Her pillow like fistnded on Wanyan Kang¡¯s shoulder. ¡°If you still don¡¯te back, I was about to marry Su Mei to another!¡±
¡°Ah, cousin inw, you shouldn¡¯t deceive people like this! Su Mei is already my bride. I¡¯ve already booked!¡±
Wanyan Kang began to scream. Dongfang Lanughed hard. ¡°You¡¯re already a wangye and is still so unruly! Quickly go take a bath. After that, our whole family can spend the new year together!¡±
¡°Yes, imperial grandmother!¡±
After Wanyan Kang cleaned the tiredness of his body, he returned to the banquet and discovered that everyone was waiting for him. When Wanyan Kang sat down, Dongfang Lan nodded satisfied and solemnly announced, ¡°Start the banquet...¡±
¡°Dong, dong, dong...¡± In the distance, the New Year¡¯s bell rang. Everyone raised their cup and said a lot of blessings. Out of the window, gorgeous fireworks bloomed deep in the blue sky. It was very beautiful.
¡°Little aunty!¡± Wanyan Jie liked Feng Qi Qi and specifically ran to Feng Qi Qi to sit next to her. ¡°Little aunty, why is little brother still noting out?¡±
After hearing Wanyan Jie, Wanyan Kang joked, ¡°Emperor, he¡¯s waiting for you, ah! You only need to say, ¡®little brothere out and y with me¡¯, the baby in cousin inw¡¯s belly wille out!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Wanyan Jie was only six or seven years old. He easily believed Wanyan Kang. ¡°Little brother,e out and y with me! I have many toys. I will share them with you!¡±
Don¡¯t know if it was because these words had an effect, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly suddenly began to twitch.
¡°Aiya!¡± Feng Qi Qi held Feng Cang¡¯s hand and screamed once. Her discordant voice was very different on this harmonious New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. The people who were joking originally stopped after hearing the scream.
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Qing Qing?¡± Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and looked at her painful expression. Feng Cang was scared. ¡°Are you going to give birth?¡±
¡°I, I don¡¯t know, ah...¡± Feeling a warm watering out of her lower body, Feng Qi Qi nodded. ¡°My amniotic fluid broke. I, I¡¯m going to give birth!¡±
¡°Aiya, going to give birth!¡±
¡°What? Going to give birth?!¡±
¡°Quickly, quickly. Princess is about to give birth!¡±
¡°Servants, quickly go prepare! Hurry up!¡±
The whole scene became chaotic. This sudden news made the buzzling New Year¡¯s Eve dinner became fric. Dongfang Lan quickly arranged people to go prepare. Wanyan Ming Yue came to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. Feng Cang couldn¡¯t wait anymore, carried Feng Qi Qi and rushed out.
¡°It¡¯s not my fault, ah! It¡¯s not my fault, ah!¡±
Wanyan Kang felt that the way everyone looked at him was strange. He quickly screamed, ¡°I was joking. I didn¡¯t expect it to be like this!¡±
¡°Why worry, Xiaoyao wang?!¡± Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s big hand patted Wanyan Kang¡¯s shoulder. ¡°This shows that the child has fate with you! The moment you returned, he already couldn¡¯t wait to meet you!¡±
Although Ming Yue Cheng said it like that, but Wanyan Kang clearly saw his white teeth and couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
The wangfu2 outside the pce was well prepared for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s giving birth. However, no one expected that this little master woulde out during the New Year. When the carriage rushed back, the two elder, Feng Qi and Feng Yu were also flustered.
¡°Wangye, wait outside. Nothing will happen to wangfei3!¡± Feng Yu blocked Feng Cang outside Tingsong building.
1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
2. Wangfu: the residence of the prince of first rank
3. Wangfei: main wife of the prince of first rank
Chapter 182 (Part 1) Giving birth (2)
Chapter 182 (Part 1) Giving birth (2)
Feng Cang was stopped by Feng Yu. Wanyan Ming Yue, Su Mei and Su Yue entered Tingsong building.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen to Qi Qi! It¡¯s hard on women when they give birth. However, the child was so well-behaved before. This time, he also wouldn¡¯t let it be hard on his mother!¡± Dongfang Lan saw that Feng Cang was anxious. Sheforted Feng Cang.
¡°That¡¯s right! Cousin brother, heavens will help the worthy! It would be fine! Don¡¯t worry!¡±
Wanyan Kang had just finished speaking when he found that everyone was ring murderously at him, ¡®scaring¡¯ him that he almost became mute. ¡°It has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me!¡±
The only person on the scene who was excited was Wanyan Jie. ¡°Great-grandmother, the moment I spoke, little brother was born. Is my mouth not like gold and my words like jade?¡±
Mouth like gold, words like jade: what one says wille true, usually used by the emperor.
Wanyan Jie¡¯s innocent words helped Wanyan Kang get out of trouble and also let the atmosphere be a bit more rxed.
Inside the room, Feng Qi Qiid on the big bed. The hair on her forehead was already wet and sticking to her head. Now, it was just the contraction phase. The pain spread from the lower part of her body. Feng Qi Qi clenched her teeth and didn¡¯t let herself scream. Seeing her daughter like this, Wanyan Ming Yue turned her face to a side and wiped away her tears.
¡°Woowoo, give me something to eat!¡± After a burst of pain passed, Feng Qi Qi let Su Mei bring out the already steamed egg and fed her. Feng Qi Qi knew that this was only the beginning. The real time-consuming and energy-consuming pain was yet toe.
Time slowly passed by. The hearts of everyone waiting outside were in their throats. Feng Cang¡¯s expression was grave like never before. From the moment Feng Qi Qi went into the room until now, his lips had been in a straight line. He hadn¡¯t said a word. How scary that appearance could be was how scary that appearance was. It was as if the one giving birth wasn¡¯t Feng Qi Qi but him.
¡°I feel that you all don¡¯t have to be so tense. Cousin inw is hurting inside. If all of us are nervous, wouldn¡¯t we be putting more pressure on her?¡±
Although Wanyan Kang¡¯s argument was somewhat far-fetched, but as long it was good to Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang would try. After hearing him (WK) say this, Feng Cang rxed a bit. He didn¡¯t stand anymore but sat on a chair. However, the coldness emitting from his body didn¡¯t decrease for a moment.
¡°That, Ming Yue Cheng, it¡¯s the new year. Why did you run to our Bei Zhou? What about your country?¡±
Wanyan Kang wanted to let the atmosphere rx a bit, so he looked for a topic of discussion. It just so happened that Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s state wasn¡¯t much better than Feng Cang¡¯s. He kept frowning and staring at Tingsong building. That gaze was like it wanted to burn a hole into the window.
Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t answer, Wanyan Kang was a bit embarrassed. Instead, it was Gu Yun Wan who answered Wanyan Kang¡¯s question. ¡°He, ah, threw everything to my father! It¡¯s like my family owns him!¡±
¡°You are?¡± Only now did Wanyan Kang discover that there was one more beauty around him.
¡°My name is Gu Yun Wan!¡± Gu Yun Wan introduced herself. Wanyan Kang was surprised. ¡°You¡¯re Nan Feng¡¯s empress dowager? Then, aren¡¯t you Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s empress mother? Heavens, you¡¯re the youngest and most beautiful empress dowager I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s words amused Gu Yun Wan. ¡°You¡¯re also very funny!¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± Wanyan Kang cupped his hands and was about to say more when Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s murderous eyes red at him, making Wanyan Kang shudder.
¡°Alright, alright, alright, I won¡¯t speak anymore! I will shut up!¡±
Wanyan Kang knew that everyone med him for what had happened to Feng Qi Qi at the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. This made Wanyan Kang feel very wronged. However, when he thought about what Ming Yue Cheng said, that this little nephew or niece had fate with him, Wanyan Kang¡¯s mood became a lot better.
¡°Qi Qi, if it¡¯s painful, shout it out!¡± Inside the room, Wanyan Ming Yue carefully wiped the sweat from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead with a warm towel. ¡°Or, should I bring something to let you bite on it?¡±
¡°Give me a towel to bite on!¡± Feng Qi Qi took deep breaths. Her hands tightly clutched the satin hanging from the top. She had long heard that giving birth was very painful, but she didn¡¯t expect that this kind of pain was unimaginable to ordinary people. It seemed that the saying giving birth to a life, the mother would cross, indeed made some sense.
¡°Miss, here!¡± Su Yue brought a clean towel and handed it to Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi bit on the towel. She felt a lot better.
Seeing Feng Qi Qi like this, Wanyan Ming Yue knew that she was afraid that if she screamed, it would let the people who were waiting, especially Feng Cang, feel heartache. So, she preferred to bite down on the towel and not make a sound.
Foolish child...Wanyan Ming Yue didn¡¯t say it out loud. She could only silently wipe away the sweat of her daughter and do everything in her power.
The midwife was ready. Hot water, clean towels, everything was ready. Everyone was waiting for that crucial moment.
¡°Why isn¡¯t there any noise?¡± Outside the room, Feng Xie walked back and forth. From time to time, he would look at the room. When Wanyan Ming Yue gave birth to Feng Qi Qi, he wasn¡¯t able to be there. Now, he could finally be there when his daughter gave birth to his grandson, but the room was so quiet that it felt out of the ordinary! Could it be that it wasn¡¯t painful?
After Feng Xie said that, the others also noticed something strange. Su Mei came out at the right time. Wanyan Kang immediately stopped her. ¡°Little Mei er,1 why didn¡¯t anything happen yet?¡±
Su Mei felt heartache for Feng Qi Qi. After she saw Wanyan Kang and thought about how he¡¯d incited little emperor to say that sentence, Su Mei¡¯s expression immediately sank. ¡°What do you think women giving birth is, ah?! Miss is biting the towel! What kind of sound do you want miss to make?¡±
After dropping these hard sentences, Su Mei left without turning back. Wanyan Kang stood there, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was not right tough nor cry.
¡°She¡¯s worried about Feng Qi Qi and isn¡¯t intentionally targeting you! Don¡¯t put it in your heart!¡± Gu Yun Wanforted Wanyan Kang after seeing him like this.
¡°I know...¡±
Although he was saying this, but Wanyan Kang wished he could p himself two times. Su Mei said that Feng Qi Qi was biting on a towel. It was definitely very painful, but she didn¡¯t want people to be worried. That¡¯s why she was like that. After getting everyone¡¯s ¡®me¡¯, Wanyan Kang actively took up the reputation of ¡®viin¡¯. He squatted at a side and didn¡¯t speak anymore.
After Feng Cang heard that Feng Qi Qi was biting on a towel, his fingers went into his palm. She was definitely hurting very much now! It was all his fault for letting her get pregnant. Now, she was enduring a torture inside, and he couldn¡¯t be of any help. He¡¯s really useless!
Naturally, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t know Feng Cang¡¯s thought. Now, she was being tortured by the pain. Giving birth to a child was really no ordinary hardship!
¡°Wangfei,2 four fingers are open. Continue on!¡± At this time, the four midwives were also very nervous. Although they were the most experienced pce maids, but at this time, they were also so anxious that they sweated.
The one lying here was one of the most noble women of Bei Zhou. Now, the emperor and the grand empress dowager were waiting outside. The regent was also waiting outside. If something happened to Feng Qi Qi...then, wouldn¡¯t it be as simple as their headsnding on the ground.
¡°Yes, ah! Wangfei, little shizi3 is about toe out! Have a bit more strength!¡±
¡°I know, but, mother...I feel so painful!¡± The towel in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s mouth fell. She finally shouted, ¡°Pain¡±.
¡°Mother is here. Qi Qi, don¡¯t be afraid. Mother will stay here with you!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand. ¡°If you¡¯re hurting, hold onto mother¡¯s hand!¡±
¡°No...¡± Feng Qi Qi withdrew her hand and continued to hold on the white satin cloth. She knew how great her strength is. What if she broke Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s hand?
Inside the room, Feng Qi Qi felt that she had passed through a century. Outside the room, the night was reced by the day. Today was the first day of the year. It was a sunny day and the weather was good.
Dongfang Lan took Wanyan Jie to rest for a while. Early in the morning, Wanyan Jie woke up. After washing up and having breakfast, he immediately grabbed Dongfang Lan and came to Tingsong building.
¡°Little brother still hasn¡¯te out? Is it that he doesn¡¯t like me? Doesn¡¯t like to y with me?¡± When he heard that Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child wasn¡¯t born yet, Wanyan Jie pouted and felt a bit sad.
¡°Emperor, little brother is also doing his best. Your little aunty is also doing her best!¡± Dongfang Lan gently touched Wanyan Jie¡¯s head. ¡°Wait a bit. Perhaps little brother woulde out soon!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Only after listening to great-grandmother¡¯s words did Wanyan Jie reveal an innocent smile. From dawn till now, it had already been more than eight hours. Feng Cang felt that his patience is disappearing little by little. Although he didn¡¯t hear Feng Qi Qi¡¯s screams, but Feng Cang knew that she must¡¯ve been very ufortable these eight hours.
¡®Zhiya...¡¯ The door opened. The maid came out with a brass pan that was covered with a towel. Inside it was used water and it smelled of blood. She was afraid that people would see it, so they covered it with a towel.
¡°How¡¯s wangfei? How¡¯s it inside the room?¡± Feng Cang stopped the maid and questioned her.
Don¡¯t know if she was scared by Feng Cang¡¯s aura, this little girl stuttered a long time and only when Feng Cang screamed, ¡°Talk!¡±, did she open her mouth, ¡°Wangfei is petite, so it is more difficult to give birth...¡±
¡®Boom...¡¯
Feng Cang¡¯s palm hit the pir. He¡¯d actually hit the pir that was thick as a child and let it be a few pieces of stone.
¡°Wangye,4 spare me!¡± This maid was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Now, after seeing Feng Cang flip out, her legs went soft and her hands lost strength. The brass pan fell on the ground and the bloody water spilled all over.
When Feng Cang saw that red bloody water, his expression became worse. When the maid saw that stirred up trouble, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. ¡°Wangye, spare me! This ve didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡±
¡°Enough, go on with what you were doing!¡± When Dongfang Lan saw this, she stepped forward to help the maid. ¡°Go, they¡¯re still waiting for your help inside the room!¡±
¡°Thanking grand empress dowager! Thanking grand empress dowager!¡± The maid picked up the brass pan and quickly entered Tingsong building. Dongfang Lanforted Feng Cang. ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. Qi Qi would have a lot of pressure with you being like this! Rx a bit. Nothing will happen to Qi Qi!¡±
In fact, after Dongfang Lan heard the maid¡¯s words, she was also very nervous. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t have a big physique and a narrow pelvis. If the fetus was toorge, presumably she would suffer some pain.
¡°I¡¯m a bit worried.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s body went cold and there was sweat on his palms. He had never been so helpless! Although he had been tortured by illness in the past, he hadn¡¯t been scared as he was now. The bloody water had condensed on the ground. The red color irritated Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and heart. He could not imagine how Feng Qi Qi would be after bleeding so much.
Inside Tingsong building, Feng Qi Qi had long heard that loud sound. After she got to know from Su Mei that Feng Cang was angry, Feng Qi Qi let Wanyan Ming Yue ask Feng Cang toe in.
¡°Qi Qi, when a woman gives birth, man cannot enter the delivery room!¡± After all, Wanyan Ming Yue was a traditional woman. She somewhat couldn¡¯t ept Feng Qi Qi¡¯s request for Feng Cang to stay with her during thebor.
¡°Mother, I really can¡¯t hold it anymore...¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s originally bright red lips had turned pale. She looked pitifully at Wanyan Ming Yue and used the cuteness of a little girl to beg her.
¡°Princess, if the time is prolonged, it wouldn¡¯t be good for neither the adult nor the child! Princess¡¯s pelvis is really too narrow...¡±
The midwives were also at their wit¡¯s end. They were tormented the whole night. Now, the sky had already be bright, but there was still no indication that the child was about toe out. They were also afraid; afraid that they would be responsible for a human life. Traditionally, it was indeed said that men couldn¡¯t enter the delivery room. However, Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t give birth. If wangye is at her side, it would give her strength.
Hearing the midwife say this, Wanyan Ming Yue also panicked. ¡°Quickly, quickly go ask wangye toe in!¡±
Su Yue hurriedly went out. After paying her respect to Dongfang Lan, Su Yue turned to Feng Cang. ¡°Guye,5 miss wants to see you!¡±
¡°What?¡± Feng Cang¡¯s heart sank. From Su Yue¡¯s tone it was like Feng Qi Qi wanted to make her ¡®dying words¡¯ clear. Not waiting for Su Yue to finish, Feng Cang rushed into Tingsong building like a gust of wind.
¡°This...¡±
Dongfang Lan could only say one word. Her outstretched hand stopped there. Forget it. At this time, why care about that so much?! The most important thing was to keep the mother and child safe and sound!
¡°Qing Qing, I came!¡±
Feng Cang wanted to approach Feng Qi Qi but was stopped by Su Mei. ¡°Guye, go wash first!¡±
Feng Cang quickly washed his face with warm water before he came to Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Qing Qing...¡± After seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s wet clothes because of the sweat, Feng Cang felt a deep pain in his heart. When he saw Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s tired look, Feng Cang quickly reced Wanyan Ming Yue to let her rest at a side.
¡°Cang, we lost for sure this time!¡± When Feng Qi Qi saw Feng Cang, the difort in her heart disappeared.
She let go of the white satin cloth in her hands and clutched Feng Cang¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°What to do? This child is so naughty; it¡¯s definitely a boy! We, we bet on a girl. This time, we definitely lost!¡±
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Wangfei: main wife of first-rank prince
3. Shizi:
4. Wang/wangye: first-rank prince
5. Guye: son-inw, used by wife¡¯s family
Chapter 182 (Part 2) Giving birth (2)
Chapter 182 (Part 2) Giving birth (2)
At this time, Feng Qi Qi still could joke. This made Feng Cang rx a bit. He gently kissed the sweat on her cheek and held her hand to give her strength. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We lost this time. Next time, we will win the double of it! Moreover, instead of being happy alone, it¡¯s better to let everyone be happy. Isn¡¯t this what you used to say in the past?! It¡¯s better to let those who gambles get a small fortune!¡±
¡°Hehe, I knew you...would say this! Ah...¡±
Another round of pain came. This time, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t endure it like before. Instead, she screamed hysterically.
Only when the pain reached its limit would one scream. This made Wanyan Kang shudder. It turned out that women giving birth was so scary. Wanyan Kang stared at the bloody water on the ground. Then, would Su Mei also be like this in the future?
The expression of Ming Yue Cheng who stood next to Wanyan Kang became extremely bad. The usual sloppy smile disappeared. Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s whole face was tensed. Feng Qi Qi was suffering inside. He really wanted to stay with her and tell her that he would take care of everything, but who is he? Her real husband already entered. Even if he was worried, he could only wait anxiously here.
¡°Wangfei,1 little shizi¡¯s2 head could already be seen. Wangfei, use more strength, ah!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s presence pressured the midwives even more. Fortunately, Feng Cang didn¡¯t personally put pressure on them let the midwives rx a bit. They put all their attention on Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Amitabha, buddha bless my Qi Qi! Amitabha!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue prayed to Buddha and prayed for buddha to let Feng Qi Qi suffer less.
¡°Ah...,¡± Feng Qi Qi once again screamed from pain. Now, the pain reached a point where it was unbearable for Feng Qi Qi. Now, she no longer cared about the things she thought before. She screamed repeatedly as if she wanted to dispel the pain through her screams.
¡°Cang, it hurts!¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell. Aside from wiping her face, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t do anything else. He could only watch Feng Qi Qi tremble from pain.
¡°I¡¯m here! After this baby is born, let¡¯s not have more children!¡± Now, Feng Cang hated the child inside Feng Qi Qi¡¯s belly a bit. He actually dared to let her feel so much pain. ¡°After this brate out, I will p his butt to relieve your anger for you!¡±
When Feng Cang¡¯s words reached the other people¡¯s ears, making them want tough but didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. Everyone finally saw the appearance of this wangye3 loving his wife.
¡°No...you, you have topensate all the money I lost!¡±
Feng Qi Qi gritted her teeth and clutched Feng Cang¡¯s hand.
¡°Good, good, good. I will make it up to you! It is all yours! My everything is yours!¡±
At this time, the two people were still saying such loving words that would make people blush. Not too mention those young maids, even those elder maids felt that it was too corny.
Inside the room, because of the pain, Feng Qi Qi had forgotten about the time. Outside the room, the people watched the sun rise until noon.
¡°What¡¯s happening? Why isn¡¯t the child born yet?!¡± Dongfang Lan who was calm before, now, also became anxious. It had been so long. Could it be a difficult birth? If it was a difficult birth, then, then wouldn¡¯t it mean big trouble?
¡°Amitabha, Buddha bless her!¡± Dongfang Lan turned the beads in her hands and prayed. Don¡¯t let anything happen to Feng Qi Qi. The mother and the child need to be safe!
Although, Wanyan Jie didn¡¯t know how scary Feng Qi Qi being inbor is, but looking at everyone¡¯s frowning expression, he did as Dongfang Lan and began to pray. ¡°Buddha bless her. If little brothere out sooner, I will bestow him the title Pingdong wang! Also, I will find him a big pce!¡±
The appearance of Wanyan Jie being like a little adult made the atmosphere a bit lighter. Dongfang Lan rubbed Wanyan Jie¡¯s head and looked at Tingsong building.
Just when everyone¡¯s patience was exhausted, a loud cry broke out.
¡°Born...born?¡± Wanyan Kang said foolishly. The others also understood.
¡°He¡¯s born! He¡¯s born! So great!¡± Dongfang Lan was very excited. ¡°Feng Xie, congrattions for bing a grandfather!¡±
¡°Thank...thank you!¡± At first, Feng Xie was surprised and then dazed. Now, he became excited. ¡°I became a grandfather! I became a grandfather!¡±
Inside the room, the midwives wiped the baby, wrapped him in a cotton padded mattress and handed him to Feng Cang. ¡°Congrattions wangye, congrattions wangfei. It¡¯s a little shizi!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t take over the child. Instead, he carefully helped Feng Qi Qi change into clean clothes.
Seeing Feng Cang like this, the midwife who held the child was a bit embarrassed. It looked like this wangye doesn¡¯t like a son? Or...
¡°Let me!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue took over the child and held him in her arms. ¡°Yo, so beautiful! Looks like daddy!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s words also didn¡¯t get Feng Cang¡¯s attention. Now, in his heart, in his eyes, there was only Feng Qi Qi. She suffered so much before giving birth to the child. This little thing tortured Feng Qi Qi badly and made him hate his son a bit.
With Feng Cang¡¯s help, Feng Qi Qi changed into clean clothes. Su Mei and Su Yue cleaned up the bed. Feng Cang carried Feng Qi Qi and put her on the bed.
¡°Mother, let me see my son!¡± Although, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face was pale, but she was in good spirits.
Wanyan Ming Yue gentle put the baby beside Feng Qi Qi. However, until now Feng Cang still refused to look at the child. Wanyan Ming Yue knew that Feng Cang was having a squabble with the child because of Feng Qi Qi. She couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°What to do?! The child our Qi Qi used her life to give birth to, a certain someone didn¡¯t care and didn¡¯t like him! If I knew it would be like this, Qi Qi shouldn¡¯t have married a certain someone lest also not to be pleasing after giving birth and have to suffer that someone¡¯s mood!¡±
When Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s words fell into Feng Cang¡¯s ears, it let Feng Cang¡¯s stiff face loosen a bit. He lowered his head and take a quick nce at the wrapped child. After he saw his son¡¯s grape like purple eyes, Feng Cang¡¯s heart was suddenly hit violently.
¡°Cang, look, the baby¡¯s eyes are exactly the same as yours! So beautiful...¡± Feng Qi Qi pulled Feng Cang¡¯s hand and let his finger gently touch their son.
That kind of softness came from his finger made Feng Cang¡¯s heart even more shocking.
¡°Doesn¡¯t he look very much like you?¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Cang nodded. His mouth raised slightly. He put his finger in the baby¡¯s small hand.
¡°Woo...¡± The baby made a small sound. His mouth spat bubbles. His purple eyes looked at Feng Cang. His small mouth opened and closed.
Looking at his son, Feng Cang suddenly felt some remorse. Remorse that he shouldn¡¯t have hated his child just now. He was so small,y next to Feng Qi Qi and didn¡¯t know anything. His small hand held Feng Cang¡¯s finger. The warmthing from his little fingers passed through Feng Cang¡¯s finger to his heart.
This is my child, my son...Feng Cang¡¯s heart went soft. His finger gently touched the baby¡¯s palm.
Suddenly, the little baby began to cry. The sudden tears frightened Feng Cang. He quickly retrieved his finger and looked nervously at Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Why, why is he crying?¡± The implication was that he didn¡¯t do anything!
Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®foolish¡¯ appearance made Feng Qi Qi happy. Wanyan Ming Yue alsoughed. ¡°The child is hungry! That was why he cried!¡±
Wanyan Ming Yue approached and ced the baby in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms. Seeing his son drinking milk in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms, Feng Cang finally understood the meaning of happiness.
After the baby drank milk, Wanyan Ming Yue took the baby and went outside of Tingsong building.
¡°Quickly, quickly let aijia 4 take a look!¡± When Dongfang Lan took over the baby, her hands trembled slightly. When she saw the child¡¯s appearance, Dongfang Lanughed. ¡°The eyebrows and eyes look like Feng Cang¡¯s. The nose and the mouth look like Qi Qi¡¯s. He¡¯s a strong little man! Come,e, let grandfather hold you!¡±
It was the first time that Feng Xie held a baby. He was a bit nervous. The new-born baby was soft. Feng Xie was afraid that his strength was too great and would hurt the child. He could only remain tense and maintained one posture.
¡°It¡¯s not like this!¡± Wanyan Ming Yue adjusted Feng Xie¡¯s posture. ¡°Like this the child would befortable!¡±
A group of people gathered around Feng Xie and looked at the newly born little shizi. Wanyan Jie was short and couldn¡¯t reach the baby. He could only pull at Wanyan Kang¡¯s clothes and tried to climb up. ¡°Fifth uncle, let me see little brother. Fifth uncle, quickly let me see!¡±
¡°Good, good, I¡¯ll let you take a look!¡± Feng Xie lowered his body and let Wanyan Jie look at the child in his arms.
¡°Emperor, your mouth is like gold your words are like jade! Little brother heard that you want to make him Pingdong wang and was afraid that you would regret, so he quickly came out!¡± Wanyan Kang was also relieved that Feng Qi Qi gave birth smoothly. Now, he also began to tease Wanyan Jie.
Mouth like gold words like jade: what one says wille true, usually used by the emperor.
Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Wanyan Jie shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m the emperor. My promise is worth one thousand in gold, how would I go back on my words? Little brother wouldn¡¯t think so. Fifth uncle is certainly lying to me!¡±
Promise worth one thousand in gold: a promise that must be kept
Wanyan Jie¡¯s words made everyoneugh. Wanyan Kang teased the little baby and looked at Wanyan Jie. ¡°Then, what you just said is true?¡±
¡°Of course! Little brother is Bei Zhou¡¯s Pingdong wang!¡±
Inside the room, when Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi heard that the moment their son was born, he was already in a ¡®high political position¡¯, theyughed.
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Q had long prepared the name of the child. It is Feng Xiao. This name was from Feng Qi Qi. It was a hope that the child would be a formidable person of his generation. Originally, Feng Cang intended for the first child to have the same surname ¡®Feng¡¯ as Feng Qi Qi. One, was because he loves Feng Qi Qi. Second, was to repay Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue¡¯s grace for bringing him up.
The Xiao of Feng Xiao means formidable/valiant
¡°Little brother¡¯s eyes aren¡¯t the same as that of us!¡± When Feng Xiao opened his eyes and Wanyan Jie saw the color of his eyes, he shouted. His shout attracted the attention of everyone.
Those who knew Feng Cang¡¯s identity didn¡¯t feel surprised. Only Ming Yue Cheng and Gu Yun Wan were a bit surprised after seeing that pair of purple eyes.
¡°Howe there are such beautiful eyes?!¡± Gu Yun Wan sighed loudly. It was just, the eyes of the parents of this child were ck. Why did the child have purple eyes? Thinking till here, Gu Yun Wan looked at Ming Yue Cheng. Ming Yue Cheng thought about the time when Feng Cang¡¯s identity was announced. After making the correction that he (FC) was Long Ao Tian, he (MYC) thought of one thing.
Could Feng Cang be the former dynasty¡¯s Long n¡¯s descendant? Only those with Long¡¯s blood would have purple eyes! Besides, the child¡¯s eyes are the pure purple. Then, Feng Cang would certainly be a Long n¡¯s member from the purest line.
At the entrance of the regent¡¯s residence, Feng Qimanded the people to put the already prepared fireworks nearly and lit them all. In a short time, the news that princess Zhen Guo gave birth to a little shizi spread through the whole capital.
When the people knew that Feng Qi Qi gave birth to a boy and that Feng Cang got a son, they all went to the streets to celebrate. The reasons for this celebration were; at one side was because they were happy for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. At the other side was due to the fact their money of the bet got doubled because Feng Qi Qi gave birth to a son.
When the people of the regent¡¯s residence and the capital were rejoicing from happiness, inside the study of prime minister Mu Hua¡¯s residence, Mu Hua was siting with a gloomy face.
¡°I got it. It¡¯s a boy who was born. You can retreat!¡± Mu Hua gestured with his hand. The housekeeper retreated.
After the housekeeper left, the bookshelf against the wall suddenly turned. Three people appeared in front of Mu Hua. One of them was the former crown prince of Xi Qi, Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Feng Qi Qi gave birth? To a son? Then, isn¡¯t Feng Cang happy to death?¡±
A woman with braided pigtails sat on a chair. Her skin was dark. On the left side of her face a soaring phoenix was painted with ink. Braided with the braids were turquoise gemstones and cornelians. If Feng Cang was here, he would certainly recognize that this woman is Jurchen n¡¯s Taji Guli. On her mouth was a disdainful and also prideful smile. Her left eye looked a bit weird. If one looked closely, one would find out that she had a deep scar on the corner of her eye.
¡°Of course, he¡¯s happy with a son!¡± The other man sat next to Taji Guli. He tilted his legs. A hand was on his chin. His was about thirty-year-old. ¡°However, we should also be happy. The money I bet in the gambling dens doubled. I earned a lot! I should thank this little shizi!¡±
¡°Duyi, can you stop mentioning this child?¡± Taji Guli turned her face and looked at the man. ¡°I hate this child. Don¡¯t mention him!¡±
¡°Guli, don¡¯t be like this. Sooner orter, you should face reality!¡± Duyi leaned back and swayed his legs. ¡°Feng Cang has a son now. You should also give up!¡±
¡°Bastard!¡±
Taiji Guli suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it on Duyi¡¯s neck. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me clearly?! Don¡¯t mention him!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright. I won¡¯t say anything. Don¡¯t be angry!¡± Duyi apologized smilingly. He reached out and pushed the dagger away from his neck. ¡°I know you don¡¯t like him. I won¡¯t mention him anymore, alright? I will listen to you, alright?!¡±
¡°Humph!¡± Seeing Duyi like this, Taji Guli retrieved the dagger. ¡°What should we do now? My little brother is gone. My n also became a mess. I need to take revenge for this!¡±
¡°Right! I also want revenge!¡± After Duyi heard this, he straightened himself. ¡°Motherf*****, Feng Cang is too wicked! I almost died in his hands! I also want revenge!¡±
Duyi just finished speaking when Taji Guli¡¯s voice raise again. ¡°You can¡¯t touch Feng Cang. He¡¯s mine! I don¡¯t allow you to touch him!¡±
This time, Duyi wasn¡¯t as easy to talk to like before. ¡°Guli, you¡¯re not right being like this. Feng Cang is ourmon enemy. How can you protect him?!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care! Feng Cang is the man I set my eyes on. He¡¯s mine, Taji Guli¡¯s man. I won¡¯t let anyone touch even a hair on him! Going against Feng Cang is going against me, Taji Guli!¡±
¡°Lunatic, lunatic...¡± Duyi shook his head. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because of Feng Cang, we three wouldn¡¯t have fallen to this state! Dong Lu and Xi Qi wouldn¡¯t have been extinguished. Your little brother, your n wouldn¡¯t also encounter such a thing. Feng Cang is the enemy of us all!¡±
¡°Duyi, you¡¯re not allowed to touch Feng Cang! Even if you want to touch Feng Cang, you should also measure your own ability. Are you worthy? How many strokes can you take under Feng Cang¡¯s hands?¡±
Taji Guli¡¯s wordspletely provoked the fire in Duyi¡¯s heart.
1. Wangfei: main wife of first-rank prince
2. Shizi: first son of a first-rank prince or crown prince and the main wife/ usually the heir of the family
3. Wang/wangye: first-rank prince
4. Aijia: I, used by an empress dowager
Chapter 183 (Part 1) Four stinky rats
Chapter 183 (Part 1) Four stinky rats
¡°Guli, if you insist on protecting Feng Cang like this. I can hardly believe that you and us will be of one mind! The cooperation is not worth mentioning anymore!¡± Duyi got up and fiercely swing his sleeve to leave, but he was stopped by Mu Hua.
As the prime minister of Bei Zhou, Mu Hua had already stayed in this position for a long time. He smiled like an old cunning fox with those shrewd eyes asionally shing a bit of gloominess, ¡°Everyone, can you listen to a word of this old man? Since everyone has amon enemy, why not unite against the enemy!¡±
¡°Anyway, Feng Cang is not my enemy. The person I want to kill is Wanyan Kang!¡±
Taji Guli med everything that happened to the Jurchen n on Wanyan Kang. After listening to what she said, Duyi scoffed, ¡°Guli, aren¡¯t you deceiving yourself? Even if this time was Wanyan Kang¡¯s fault. Then what about Jisang Khan, your father?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± The words of Duyi deeply provoked Taji Guli¡¯s inner darkness. Seeing the two people with swords drawn and bows bent. Longze Jing Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, ¡°You all shut up! Quarreling like this, until when will you stop to quarrel?!¡±
With swords drawn and bows bent: a state of mutual hostility
The words of Longze Jing Tian were more or less intimidating to Duyi and Taji Guli. The two stopped their bickering, but Taji Guli still muttered, ¡°If you didn¡¯t contact us to have my Jurchen n and Dong Lu sent troops, we will not be in this state now!¡±
¡°Kuang...¡± Before Taji Guli could finish her words, the big hand of Longze Jing Tian was like a pair of big pincers, tightly locking Taji Guli¡¯s throat, ¡°Did I put a knife on your neck forcing you to send troops, ah? If you say more nonsense, do you believe that I¡¯ll kill you?¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s hand was very strong, in a moment, Taji Guli was a bit out of breath.
¡°If...if you have the guts, then kill me, ah!¡± Although the suffocation in the throat let Taji Guli unable to breathe, but she still refused to admit defeat. Those pair of beautiful eyes looked fiercely at Longze Jing Tian. Beneath the eyes, there was also a trace of contemptuous smile.
¡°You couldn¡¯t get Feng Qi Qi. Therefore, you joined us to make Bei Zhou chaotic. In the end, one lift a rock only to drop it on one¡¯s own feet which benefitted Ming Yue Cheng. What right do you have to scold me?!¡±
One lift a rock only to drop it on one¡¯s own feet: hurt oneself by one¡¯s own doing
Taji Guli underestimated the man¡¯s face (figuratively). Originally, Longze Jing Tian did not want to kill her. After listening to Taji Guli¡¯s provocative remarks, the secret hidden in his heart was suddenly exposed under the sunlight, leaving him angry. The strength in his hand increases rapidly.
¡°You...you...¡±
¡°Your Highness calm down, Your Highness calm down!¡± Originally, Duyi who was watching the scene as a bystander, saw that Longze Jing Tian really wanted to kill Taji Guli. He (DY) quickly stopped him (LJT). ¡°Your Highness, we are now all on the same boat. Although Guli speaks directly, she is exactly this kind of character. Besides, the more people, the more power. Your Highness, please think again....¡±
Duyi pleading for her was rather unexpected to Taji Guli.
After listening to Duyi, Longze Jing Tian ferociously gave Taji Guli a look. He then loosened his hand and retreated to one side.
¡°Ke ke...¡± Taji Guli, who had resumed her breathing, did not go to provoke Longze Jing Tian anymore, but sat down and rubbed her neck. Although she was not so delicate, with Longze Jing Tian strong hand, it made her neck extremely painful. If it wasn¡¯t because she had the same enemy as Longze Jing Tian at this moment, Taji Guli would definitely find a chance to kill this man.
¡°Alright, everyone could finally sit down calmly and have a chat!¡± Mu Hua personally poured tea for the trio, then he sat down too. ¡°No matter who our enemies are, but as we sit down together, this must mean that we have amon goal. I think it is better that we each open up and speak frankly. Speak up what you want, we can then proceed to the next step!¡±
As soon as Mu Hua stopped talking, Taji Guli had forgotten the difort of her neck. She was the first one to speak up. ¡°Anyway, Feng Cang can¡¯t be touched! He is the man I fancy. No one can touch my man!¡±
¡°Guli, you seem to have forgotten that the man you value now already has a wife and child. He has his lovable wife in his arms, can he still ept you?¡±
Duyi¡¯s mouth was once again bitchy. This time Taji Guli did not start a fight with him but rolled her eyes. ¡°His woman is naturally going to be killed! Son, I will give birth for him! No need for other people to substitute!¡±
After listening to Taji Guli, he smiled helplessly. This kind of helplessness seemed to be a sign of disapproval for Taji Guli¡¯s blind love. He had never seen a woman who had forgotten the national feud and family hatred for love. Taji Guli was one. Could it be that women will be stupid after falling in love?
¡°Feng Qi Qi is mine. No one can touch her!¡±
Seeing Taji Guli like that, Longze Jing Tian also opened his mouth. That woman (FQQ) was originally supposed to be his wangfei1. If he didn¡¯t write the ¡®breaking engagement letter¡¯, she would now be his wife, bear and raise his children. Nor would there be a series of unforeseen urrences afterwards.
Sometimes, the gear of destiny just diverted slightly. Over time, when looked back, you would find that because of that small diversion, the path of the entire destiny had undergone tremendous changes. Two lifelines which originally had intersections, were going farther and farther apart.
However, Longze Jing Tian would not yield to that. That was why he was still trying hard to fix it. He wanted to have a ce in the life of Feng Qi Qi and even recing Feng Cang. In the eye of Duyi, his (LJT) actions are as foolish and unrealistic as Taji Guli¡¯s dreams. But Duyi would not speak it out. He gently smiled, crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
¡°One of you want to marry Feng Cang and kill Feng Qi Qi. The other want to get Feng Qi Qi and think of Feng Cang as a thorn in the eyes. How do we join forces if you two are like this? If you guys quarrel like this, let¡¯s just separate and depend on our own ability to do something!¡±
The words of Duyi made everyone calm down. Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth and Tajji Guli snorted softly. Only Mu Hua, his eyes turned and thought of a way. ¡°I think, since everyone¡¯s opinions are different. It is better to choose apromise first.¡±
¡°Whatpromise?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s separate Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. Each one of you get one. It¡¯s just that it depends on whether you have the ability!¡± Mu Hua used the method of each person hit by fifty nks. Although stupid, but at the moment it is indeed a clever way out of a stupid method.
Each person hit by fifty nks: put the me on the two parties equally/ me both sides without discrimination
Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli did not speak. Mu Hua knew that there was hope in this and continued to talk about it. ¡°ording to reliable information, there is gu poison inside the small shizi¡¯s2 body of the regent¡¯s residence. He has it since his mother¡¯s womb. You all know that to remove the gu, you must go to Nan Feng to find the people of the Qiang tribe. Therefore, I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t take long for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi to go to Nan Feng. This is your chance¡ª-¡°
After that, Mu Hua did not finish the sentence. He believed that by speaking so straightforward, the trio in front of him must understand the meaning.
¡°Where did the prime minister¡¯s informatione from?¡± Longze Jing Tian looked at Mu Hua. He was still skeptical about this man who took the initiative to cooperate with them.
¡°Could it be that His Highness is suspecting that this old man has ulterior motives?¡± Mu Hua was so shrewd; how could he know the thoughts of Longze Jing Tian? ¡°If this old man had other ideas, all of you will now be a prisoner of the prison and not the guest of my family! There is only one reason why this old man helped you! Surely, all three of you know this old man¡¯s granddaughter Mu Yu Die!¡±
Mu Hua had only one precious granddaughter. Mu Yu Die was once a famous talented girl of Bei Zhou. Longze Jing Tian had heard about her. But why, when he (MH) mentioned Mu Yu Die, there were actually moisture in Mu Hua¡¯s eyes?
¡°This old man¡¯s granddaughter went to the tournament of the four countries. After returning, she had a few screws loose. Then suddenly there was a beggar with her jade pendant, saying that they made a pledge to be married. The emperor had appointed the marriage. The granddaughter who has been always loved by this old man is actually...actually married to a beggar!¡±
Thinking back to what had happened, Mu Hua¡¯s beard quivered slightly with anger. His beloved granddaughter was married to a beggar, and Mu¡¯s household became a joke in the capital. This was a stain in Mu Hua¡¯s entire life. As the country¡¯s prime minister, he couldn¡¯t even made decisions in his granddaughter¡¯s marriage. Knowing that his granddaughter was set up by people, but could not find the real culprit, how can Mu Hua feel hatred?!
¡°Just a month after getting married, this old man¡¯s granddaughter couldn¡¯t bear with the humiliation and had hung herself! This old man was loyal to his country for all my life. Now my only granddaughter has encountered such a thing. How can this old man¡¯s inner anger be dispelled?!¡±
¡°Then, did you find the culprit who framed your granddaughter?¡± Probably because both are woman, Taji Guli was curious andpassioned towards Mu Yu Die¡¯s affairs. Moreover, the sight of the old and gray-haired man in front of her was also pitiful. Taji Guli¡¯s heart was already inclined to believe what Mu Hua had said.
¡°It was Wanyan Lie! It was him who appointed the marriage!¡± Mentioning Wanyan Lie¡¯s name, Mu Hua¡¯s teeth made a ¡®tsk tsk¡¯ sound. ¡°Although the person who framed this old man¡¯s granddaughter did not leave a trace behind, this old man had already guessed who it is...¡±
¡°Who was it?¡± Taji Guli leaned forward. The tattoo on her left face was extraordinarily scary under the bright light.
¡°Hehe, besides Feng Qi Qi, who else?¡± Mu Hua smiled evilly and looked at Longze Jing Tian. ¡°Yu Die was fond of Feng Cang since childhood. She wholeheartedly wanted to be the bride of Feng Cang. She waited till the age of twenty and was still not married. She was just waiting for Feng Cang! This old man considered past cause and future effect. This matter, except for Feng Qi Qi, no one will do it!¡±
Considered past cause and future effect: thought back and forth/ think over again and again
After listening that the person that Yu Die liked was Feng Cang, Taji Guli¡¯s face was immediately pulled down. If it was not because here is Bei Zhou and she is now in the Mu¡¯s residence, she would certainlyugh at Mu Yu Die saying that she (MYD) deserved it. If she (G) was Feng Qi Qi and met women drooling over Feng Cang, she would not be so gentle. She would definitely let the other party go see yanluo.
Yanluo: in Buddhist mythology, he is the King of Hell
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t feel much about Mu Hua¡¯s words. But, after hearing that he (MH) was against Feng Qi Qi, Longze Jing Tian was a little ufortable. ¡°Could it be that the prime minister is looking for Feng Qi Qi to seek revenge? Do you have evidence that she did it? Or did you hear the road say? Could it be that the prime minster doesn¡¯t have any enemies in the court all these years? If someone nted it on purpose, wouldn¡¯t the prime minister be fooled?¡±
Hear the road say: hearsay, gossip, rumor
Mu Hua of course knew of Longze Jing Tian¡¯s strategy of moving the me. He (MH) sneered and said. ¡°This old man knows that Your Highness admires Feng Qi Qi. So, this old man can stop pursuing this matter. However, this old man has a request!¡±
It turned out that Mu Hua had circled around and was waiting for this moment. Longze Jing Tian¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but in his eyes, waves were rippling. ¡°Say¡ª¡°
¡°After you three seed, this old man wants a share of the profit!¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk, so the prime minister was nning for this?¡± Duyi pped his hand at the side. ¡°As expected, ginger gets spicier as it gets older! Talking in circles for half a day, you want to eat meat too!¡±
Ginger gets spicier as it gets older: the older, the wiser
¡°Hero Du, everyone loves to eat meat, not just this old man! This old man knows that all three of you are people with great ambitions. Although Bei Zhou and Nan Feng are now the greatest, who can say the things in this world for sure! What you all think is also what this old man thinks. This old man has a widework of people in Bei Zhou. I have many sources of information that will surely help you all. When the timees, four parts of the world, will it not be beautiful?¡±
Hero is a term used in the jianghu to call other people
¡°Prime minister, you said it too simple! Four parts of the world? Feng Xie and Feng Cang alone are difficult to deal with. Not to mention there is also Ming Yue Cheng! Bei Zhou and Nan Feng are now as good as brothers. What are we capable now? How many troops do we have topete with them?¡±
Duyi is rational and straightforward. He was not born as a royal member and did not receive any royal treatment. Unlike Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli, they were at least once noble. Although Xi Qi became history and the Jurchen n was like a sheet of loose sand, they could still have arge number of supporters by just beckoning. Even if these two people reappeared, they could put their identities out there and recruit soldiers and buy horses. After all, there are still people willing to believe in them.
Like a sheet of loose sand: unable to cooperate
Recruit soldiers and buy horses: to raise arge army
Inparison, he was just a disciple of Peni Ind. Now Peni Ind cannot be his protection anymore. He could only rely on himself. Four parts of the world? Who would believe it! He didn¡¯t have anything. Would the trio in front of him willingly give him a part?
¡°This is not a problem!¡± Mu Hua seemed to know what Duyi would say.
¡°When this old man was young, I had been to Nan Jiang and lived with the Qiang tribe for a while. As far as I know, to remove the gu poison, you must go through three levels. Climb a mountain of swords, plunge into a sea of mes, and enter the Dragon pond. These three levels are not that easy, especially the third level. Millennium cold pond catch millennium sturgeon. Not to mention the poisonous snake monsters in the Dragon pond. A living person going down will immediately be a skeleton.¡±
Climb a mountain of swords, plunge into a sea of mes: undergo the most severe trials
¡°The emperor of Nan Feng, Ming Yue Cheng, is now in Yan capital. I heard that he is very concerned about Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child and he is also very concerned about Feng Qi Qi...¡± Speaking till here, Mu Hua looked at Longze Jing Tian and smiled meaningfully.
¡°Removing the gu poison is of course the sooner the better. Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi will definitely take their child to Nan Feng. Ming Yue Cheng will naturally also apany them. When Feng Cang leaves Bei Zhou, it loses its protection from Feng Cang. Bei Zhou would be worthless. We can then upend heaven and earth.¡±
Upend heaven and earth: to turn things around/ to change the course of events
As for Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng. The best ce to deal with them is at the Dragon pond of Qiang tribe. As long as our people lie in ambush, we won¡¯t fail! By that time, how to dispose of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi should be decided by His Highness and princess (G). As for Ming Yue Cheng, just throw him into the Dragon pond to feed the fish!¡±
Mu Hua talked till his mouth and tongue were dry. Speaking till here, he felt very thirsty. Only after drinking two sses of water, the dryness in his throat was relieved. ¡°What do you all think?¡±
Dry mouth and tongue: talk too much
¡°Sounds pretty good!¡± Taji Guli nodded. ¡°I have no problem! I don¡¯t have many subordinates, but each one of them is a veteran of a hundred battles. If things will really go so well, I¡¯m willing to cooperate.¡±
Veteran of a hundred battles: have experienced many battles
Taji Guli nodded her head. Duyi alsoughed. ¡°I also don¡¯t have any problems! I just don¡¯t know what His Highness would think.¡±
Longze Jing Tian was silent for a long time and nodded. ¡°Deal! Four parts of the world, I agree.¡±
To Longze Jing Tian, there were two most important things: First, it is to restore Xi Qi; second, it is to get Feng Qi Qi back. He would not care about how strong the love is between Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang, nor would he care that Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang had a son. Wrongs that happened in the past should not be pursued anymore. The only thing that need to be grasped is the present.
Dragon pond, this name sounds good! If they can really kill Ming Yue Cheng at the Dragon pond, then both Nan Feng and Xi Qi are his...
Thinking till here, Longze Jing Tian looked at his three ¡°partners¡±. Taji Guli is a woman. She was already excluded by Longze Jing Tian. Can a woman be an emperor? This was truly nonsense! As for Duyi, he was only a small disciple of Peni Ind. He had nothing at all and he still wanted a quarter of the maind. This guy didn¡¯t even take a good look of himself in his own piss. Then, he looked at Mu Hua, he is already at an old age. The loess was already covering till his throat and he (MH) still wanted to have the dream of being an emperor? Is he (MH) even qualified?
Loess: yellow sandy soil typical of north China
The loess was already covering till his throat: don¡¯t have much longer to live
This world with all its waters will be his, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s, bag¡¯s contents. Including the beauty, she will also be his!
Bag¡¯s contents: as easy as reaching for it from a bag/ as good as in one¡¯s possession
After the n was negotiated, Longze Jing Tian, Duyi and Taji Guli left the prime minister¡¯s residence separately from the side door and the back door. After confirming that they were gone, Mu Hua called the housekeeper and uttered seriously in his ear. The housekeeper of the Mu household immediately went out of the minister¡¯s residence. He walked around a few streets and went to Nan Yuan ¡ª-where the abolished crown prince Wanyan Hong was imprisoned.
1. Wangfei: main wife of the first rank prince
2. Shizi: heir of the first rank prince/crown prince by the main wife
Chapter 183 (Part 2) Four stinky rats
Chapter 183 (Part 2) Four stinky rats
Ever since he¡¯d been removed from the crown prince position and imprisoned by his own imperial father Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Hong had lost his freedom. But everything he needed, he had it. Besides, he was the biological father of the current emperor, Wanyan Jie. It¡¯s now the New Year, so Nan Yuan didn¡¯t evenck anything.
¡°His Highness...¡± Wanyan Hong¡¯s confidant He Jing came to him respectfully and whispered a few words in his ear.
¡°Oh? Invite him in!¡±
As soon as the housekeeper came in, he knelt down to kowtow to Wanyan Hong. ¡°This ve pays his greetings to His Royal Highness. Long live a thousand years, long live a thousand years!¡±
¡°Stand up! Give a seat!¡± Wanyan Hong seemed to enjoy the ¡°His Royal Highness, long live a thousand years¡± salutation. His appearance at this moment didn¡¯t look like an imprisoned person. Instead, he regarded this Nan Yuan as if it was the East Pce that he had once upied.
¡°His Highness, I brought a message from our prime minister.¡± The housekeeper had been told to orally repeat Mu Hua¡¯s words exactly to Wanyan Hong. The memory of this housekeeper was excellent. Mu Hua had only said it once and he could ¡®recite¡¯ it back without missing a word.
Because of Wanyan Hong¡¯s special identity and since he was now imprisoned in Nan Yuan, Mu Hua carefully considered it and thus did not choose to contact him by letter. Instead, he always sent his housekeeper to bring his words to him (WH). Even if they were discovered, there was no information that could be used against them.
¡°Not bad! He is worthy as the prime minister!¡±
Wanyan Hong listened to the details of the ¡°alliance¡± between Mu Hua, Longze Jing Tian and the others. His eyes were gloomy. Wanyan Lie had abdicated the throne early than expected and when Wanyan Jie was enthroned, he had thought that Feng Cang had definitely done something. But he¡¯d never expected that Feng Cang actually didn¡¯t be the emperor himself, but instead rmended his son (WJ) as emperor.
Imperial father ah, imperial father. You were a very shrewd person. Nevertheless, you still fell into the hands of Feng Cang and still became a prisoner. Wanyan Hong stood up. He went to the housekeeper and whispered a few words in his ear. The housekeeper nodded.
¡°Go back and tell prime minister Mu. When I am enthroned as emperor, I will certainly put his Mu n on an equal footing with the royal family!¡±
¡°Yes! This ve will take my leave!¡±
After the housekeeper left, He Jing came to Wanyan Hong¡¯s side. ¡°Your Highness, is Mu Hua reliable?¡±
¡°Whether he is reliable or not, what flows in this prince¡¯s body is pure royal blood. Depending on him alone to call the whole nation? Who will listen to him! Mu Hua is a wise man. He knows what would benefit him the most!¡±
As expected, Wanyan Hong had guessed correctly. When the housekeeper conveyed Wanyan Hong¡¯s words counted by fives and tens to Mu Hua, Mu Hua couldn¡¯t help but nod.
Count by fives and tens: to narrate systematically and in full detail
Seeing his own master like this, the housekeeper was a bit puzzled. ¡°Prime minister, why don¡¯t you be the emperor yourself?¡±
¡°Ha, I bing the emperor?¡± Mu Hua shook his head. ¡°Not to mention my old age, I don¡¯t even have a royal lineage with a hundred responses to a single call. Moreover, apart from my life, I don¡¯t have anything else. If I get the throne, what can I do when I¡¯m the emperor?¡±
A hundred responses to a single call: respond in masse/when one person calls out and immediately a lot of people respond to it
¡°The only thing that I want is to avenge Yu Die! I, Mu Hua, spent all my life gloriously, but I was defrauded once on the matter of Yu Die. This humiliation, this hatred. Even if I die, I must return it!¡±
It was only the first day of the Lunar New Year and there were already so many obscure things happening. Only the people in the regent¡¯s residence did not notice the approaching conspiracy. Wangfu1 was full of celebration because of the birth of the little shizi2.
¡°Little brother spit bubbles at me!¡± Wanyan Jie is young after all. He had nevere into contact with babies. Now, after seeing the soft and tender appearance of Feng Xiao, he (WJ) could not stop liking him (FX). Ever since the birth of Feng Xiao, he (WJ) stayed by his (FX) side and refused to leave. Let alone return to the Pce.
¡°Jie er3 likes little brother very much!¡± Seeing Wanyan Jie and Feng Xiao so close to each other, Dongfang Lan was very happy from the bottom of her heart. Whether Wanyan Jie will be a wise ruler or a mediocre emperor, she hoped that Wanyan Jie could protect the children of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. That said, there was also some selfishness in this. In the eyes of Dongfang Lan, Feng Qi Qi is closer to her than Wanyan Jie. Naturally, she is inclined to this side.
¡°I really like little brother. Little brother also likes me very much!¡±
Wanyan Jie¡¯s children¡¯s words carry no harm once again let the people around himugh. Su Yue walked over. ¡°Emperor, little shizi needs to sleep!¡±
Children¡¯s words carry no harm: take no offence at a child¡¯s babble
¡°Mm!¡± Even though unwilling to leave little brother, Wanyan Jie could still restrain his own likes and let Su Yue take Feng Xiao away.
¡°Empress Dowager, emperor, it¡¯s gettingte.¡± Qinggu who served Dongfang Lan made a sound at the right moment. Until now did Dongfang Lan realized that the sky had turned dark. She turned around and uttered a few words to Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Then she took Wanyan Jie who was reluctant to part and left the regent¡¯s residence.
¡°Did grandmother and Jie er leave?¡± Feng Qi Qi who had been sleeping for the whole afternoon, just woke up. After she opened her eyes, she saw Feng Cang leaning against the pillow and gently looking at little Feng Xiao who was beside her.
¡°Qing Qing, you woke up? Are you still in pain? Hungry? What do you want to eat?¡±
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi had woken up, Feng Cang was particrly happy. A moment ago, Feng Qi Qi was sleeping deeply. She was frowning in her sleep and asionally groaned. Making Feng Cang somewhat worried about whether Feng Qi Qi¡¯s body still ache or not. But after seeing her sleeping so soundly, he couldn¡¯t bear to wake her up. So he stayed next to her and waited for Feng Qi Qi to wake up.
¡°I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat dumplings.¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s whole body was sore, especially the paining from the lower body. Even moving slightly, her whole body would be covered in sweat.
¡°Alright. I will send someone to prepare it! Don¡¯t move!¡±
Feng Cang lovingly and painfully wiped the sweat from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. Although Feng Qi Qi practiced martial arts and had a good foundation, a woman giving birth was still a major event. This time, she had suffered a lot.
Shortly, Su Mei cooked the crystal dumplings and brought them. In Bei Zhou, dumplings were also eaten during Chinese New Year. Last night because of the birthing, Feng Qi Qi did not eat dumplings on New Year¡¯s Eve. She was upset about it. So she is very hungry now. The first thing to do was to eat dumplings. Only when the dumplings were eaten on the New Year, it would then be perfect.
¡°Slowly, be careful!¡± Feng Cang is now a perfect model husband. He carefully helped Feng Qi Qi get up and put clothes on her. He fastened her buttons and wrapped her tightly. He then held the small bowl and scoop up a crystal-clear dumpling, putting it to his mouth and blew gently on it.
Feng Cang¡¯s red lips, shrouded in the hot fog of the dumplings, looked unusually mesmerizing. When the spoon in his hand was fed to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s mouth, Feng Qi Qi actually forgot to open her mouth. She just stared at Feng Cang¡¯s red lips.
¡°Qing Qing, isn¡¯t husband a feast for the eyes?¡± Feng Cang¡¯s handsome face leaned forward. Only then did Feng Qi Qi reacted. In order to avoid Feng Cang¡¯s burning eyes, Feng Qi Qi immediately bowed her head. She put the crystal dumplings in the mouth. ¡°Mm-hmm, yummy!¡±
Originally, he wanted to kiss Feng Qi Qi but didn¡¯t expect that she avoided it. He looked at Fenq Qi Qi¡¯s mouth again. Because it contained a dumpling, her mouth was bulging. It looked especially cute. ¡°Eat slowly, there is more!¡±
A bowl of dumplings contained twenty pieces. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t know if it was because she was too hungry or something else. Unexpectedly, even the dumplings and the soup, she ate it all together.
¡°Really happy!¡± Feng Qi Qi touched her stomach with satisfaction andmented. Can eat enough, stay warm, have enough money to spend, can live together with your beloved, have children, grow old together was truly a blessing!
¡°Qing Qing. If you¡¯re full, don¡¯t you need to satisfy me too?¡± Long before, Feng Cang wanted to kiss Feng Qi Qi. Because she was still hungry, he needed to feed Feng Qi Qi first.
Now, seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s pale face had a slightly shade of color and that small mouth turned red, Feng Cang¡¯s gulped. He just approached Feng Qi Qi to kiss, but didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xiao who was between them suddenly cried.
¡°Aiya, what happened to the baby?¡± Feng Qi Qi quickly looked down to check on Feng Xiao. Her forehead coincidentally rubbed against Feng Cang¡¯s lips.
¡°He just peed!¡± Feng Qi Qi opened the nappy and found out that Feng Xiao had wet his nappy. She quickly let Su Yue get a clean one to change. Just a moment ago, he (FC) wanted to have a sweet kiss with Feng Qi Qi but is nowpletely ignored by Feng Qi Qi. Even Su Yue couldn¡¯t help but say something. ¡°Guye4, please move aside. I need to change a clean diaper for little shizi.
This brat! Didn¡¯t piss early, didn¡¯t pisster, but why piss at this moment?! Feng Cang who was forced to make way, could not help but take a look at Feng Xiao. To his surprise, he (FC) seemed to see a glint of a scheme being seeded in Feng Xiao¡¯s eyes.
Feng Cang thought that he saw it wrong. After rubbing his eyes, he took a look again. But Feng Xiao had already looked elsewhere.
1. Wangfu: the residence of the first-rank prince
2. Shizi: heir of the first-rank prince/crown prince by the main wife
3. Er: term of endearment
4. Guye: son-inw
Chapter 184 Strange madam
Chapter 184 Strange madam
When it was time to sleep, Feng Cang intended toy down on the bed. However, he barely touched the bed when Feng Xiao immediately burst into tears. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s too crammed...¡± Feng Qi Qi looked a bit helplessly at Feng Cang and used her gaze to indicate him to sleep alone.
Looking at the bed that was enough for four people to sleep in, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes became aggrieved. He had never thought that after his son was born, his status in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart would slide down so sharply. For instance, now he had to sleep alone in the outer room and he couldn¡¯t hold Feng Qi Qi in his arms.
¡°Qing Qing, I want to sleep next to you. In case you want to drink water at night or if you are hungry, I can properly serve you.¡±
She had seen so many expressions of Feng Cang, but this is the first time that Feng Qi Qi saw Feng Cang grieving like a pitiful puppy. He looked at her with pathetic eyes like she had done something to him. It was difficult for anyone to harden their heart refuse any request from Feng Cang.
¡°Alright, sleep here! Just be careful to not crush the baby!¡± Feng Qi Qi moved slightly to give Feng Cang enough space to lie down. Who knew, he didn¡¯t even touch the pillow yet, but their little baby cried again.
¡°Let me see...¡± Feng Qi Qi opened the nappy and discovered that Feng Xiao had pooped this time. It was a busy moment again and it wasn¡¯t until veryte at night before she could have some idle time.
Seeing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tired appearance, Feng Cang felt sorry. While she was making the bed, Feng Cang ferociously red at Feng Xiao. ¡°Brat, if you torment your mother again. Wait and see!¡±
¡°Ha...¡± To his surprise, Feng Cang¡¯s ¡®threat¡¯ didn¡¯t frighten Feng Xiao. But instead made him (FX)ugh few times. His son¡¯s pair of big and round purple eyes were staring at his (FC) face. He was displeased, but on the contrary Feng Xiao smiled rather happily.
¡°Looks like you two have a very good rtionship!¡±
Feng Qi Qi was truly sleepy, but she was also afraid that Feng Cang would crush Feng Xiao while sleeping. So, she simply let Feng Cang lie behind her while she held Feng Xiao in her arms.
¡°Goodnight, baby! Goodnight, hubby!¡± After busying herself for so long, Feng Qi Qi was extremely exhausted. Thus, as soon as she closed her eyes, her even breathing could be heard.
Feng Cang gently moved Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hair to the back of her head and just when he wanted to nt a kiss on her earlobe, Feng Xiao pouted and put on an ¡®if you dared to kiss, I would cry for you to see¡¯ kind of expression, making Feng Cang exceptionally annoyed.
¡°You, you¡¯re not allowed to disturb your mother!¡± Feng Cang whispered ¡®threateningly¡¯. He also didn¡¯t know whether Feng Xiao understood what he said, but this little one held a provocative glint in his eyes.
If it were not for the fear of waking Feng Qi Qi up, Feng Cang would have put Feng Xiao in the small crib already. Originally, he thought that after Feng Qi Qi gave birth, their feelings would grow stronger. However, he didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xiao was here to ¡®collect debts¡¯ from him, nor did he know who he (FX) had inherited his (FX) personality from.
As Feng Cang didn¡¯t manage to sleep for the whole night, he got sleepy now and was toozy ¡®to continue being jealous¡¯ of his son. He gently hugged Feng Qi Qi from behind, then closed his eyes and slept.
Feng Cang woke up once again was because he smelled an unusual smell. He opened his eyes and got up. He found that the nappy which was originally wrapped up nicely around Feng Xiao, was now unfastened and his (FC) hand was located just next to Feng Xiao¡¯s little calf. At this moment, a warm and wet feeling came from his palm. Feng Xiao...he had peed!
¡°Stinky brat!¡±
Sensing the moisture on his hand was Feng Xiao¡¯s ¡®masterpiece¡¯, Feng Cang gritted his teeth and carefully got up from behind Feng Qi Qi. Afraid to wake Feng Qi Qi up, he gently and quietly moved her hand away, and picked Feng Xiao up afterwards.
¡°I know you did this on purpose!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s voice was very low. He carried Feng Xiao to the side. After cleaning the boy¡¯s urine from his hands, Feng Cang put a clean nappy on Feng Xiao. Although Feng Cang¡¯s nappy-changing skill was a bit clumsy but, in the end, he still managed to tidy up Feng Xiao cleanly.
After Feng Cang finished doing all that, he then realized that Feng Xiao actually didn¡¯t make a sound. He did not cry nor made any noise. Could it be that his temper had changed? Feng Cang looked at Feng Xiao. the little one yawned, his tiny hand balled up into a fist. Feng Cang had wanted to scold ¡®little brat¡¯ at first, but after seeing Feng Xiao¡¯s current appearance, his heart had softened. In the end, he carried Feng Xiao and ced him into Feng Qi Qi¡¯s embrace again.
Afterying beside Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang quickly fell asleep. However, now he didn¡¯t sleep so deeply because he was afraid that Feng Xiao might pee again. Even though it was very warm in the room, a moist nappy was basically not good for a child. He was also afraid that Feng Xiao would cry, so he was simply seventy percent asleep and thirty percent awake.
As expected, Feng Cang¡¯s decision was correct. In one night, Feng Xiao peed four times and he (FC) was also tormented four times.
When dawn arrived, Su Mei and Su Yue went inside the room. Only then did Feng Cang heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that next time they must have a little daughter instead! A son was truly too mischievous! That child seemed to be specifically going against him. For the entire night, he was just changing nappies... Who would have thought that he, the dignified regent, was actually made fun of by his own son? If it wasn¡¯t because Feng Xiao was still a little baby, he would have certainly punished him to go do the martial-art stance.
Due to Feng Xiao¡¯s birth, the regent¡¯s residence had be joyous. The people of the capital also made a huge fortune out of the bet because of Feng Xiao¡¯s birth. The ones whom bet on Princess Zheng Guo giving birth to a son had really made a profit this time.
¡°Miss, those owners of the gambling dens would certainly have manyints this time. They listened to miss which resulted in the citizens making a profit, while they more or less suffered a financial loss.¡± While serving Feng Qi Qi food, Su Yue told Feng Qi Qi about what was happening in the capital.
¡°Haha, make up for their loss. Wasn¡¯t it just three million? Do they had to pretend to be poor like this?!¡± Feng Qi Qi took small sips of her sesame oil chicken soup. ¡°Tell them, this time we had lost money. Next time, we can just make even more money, isn¡¯t it then all earned back?! The ones who won this time would surely want to win again next time. At that time, there will be more people cing a bet. We can just make up for the loss and maybe earn several times more!¡±
The words of Feng Qi Qi made Su Mei, who was taking care of Feng Xiao at a side, smiled. ¡°Miss, you are implying that you are ready to bore guye 1 a second child? If guye hear this then he¡¯ll surely be extremely happy! When I came in this morning, I¡¯ve heard him say something like ¡®next time must give birth to a little daughter¡¯, this is really interesting!¡±
Inside Tingsong building Feng Qi Qi was enjoying the happiness of being a mother for the first time and Ming Yue Cheng went to find Feng Cang in the study.
¡°Although Feng Xiao didn¡¯t show any signs of the gu poison, but still, it¡¯s better to get rid of the poison as soon as possible. When are you guys nning to go to Nan Feng? If you trust me, I can bring Feng Xiao back with me!¡±
When Ming Yue Cheng was talking, he stared in the eyes of Feng Cang, trying to discern whether he (FC) had any worries. The eyes of Feng Xiao are purple, which should had been inherited from Feng Cang. but why was the color of Feng Cang¡¯s eyes ck and not purple instead? Was there some kind of secret behind this?
When he saw Ming Yue Cheng staring at him like that, Feng Cang immediately understood the doubts in his (MYC) heart. Ming Yue Cheng must be doubting his (FC) true identity. Thinking till here, Feng Cang smiled calmly. ¡°The eyes of Xiao er2 resemble mine. You don¡¯t have to look anymore!¡±
¡°Then, aren¡¯t you...¡± Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t say the words ¡®descendant of the previous dynasty¡¯ out loud, but both already understood the meaning.
¡°That¡¯s right! My biological father was the crown prince of the previous dynasty. However, you can rest assured, Qi Qi and the rest already know my identity. Moreover, I¡¯m not nning to restore the former Qin. It doesn¡¯t matter who¡¯s the emperor, as long as he¡¯s treating the citizens well!¡±
With these words of Feng Cang, Ming Yue Cheng alsoughed. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about what you will do. It¡¯s just that your identity is sensitive. I¡¯m afraid that there will be people using this to make trouble. However, it is already a fact that the world is divided in two. Your identity will be exposed sooner orter. Although it is indeed surprising, but there shouldn¡¯t be any problems.¡±
¡°Well, I also think so. As you said, take Xiao er to Nan Feng. I would like to wait until Qi Qi finish the ¡®sitting the month¡¯. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you. It¡¯s just that Qi Qi definitely won¡¯t feel at ease about Xiao er. She will definitely go to Nan Feng personally and pf course, I will follow her. When we see the leader of Qiang tribe, we will have to trouble you!¡±
Confinement or ¡®sitting the month¡¯ (×øÔÂ×Ó): In China, women are told to stay indoors for a whole month to recover from the trauma of giving birth and feed the newborn baby. The mothers are told to not expose their body to cold weather or wind, because it will affect or deteriorate their recovery. They are also not allowed toe into contact with water (e.g. bathing or washing their hair) or do any exercises that exert themselves. The new mothers are also advised to eat nutritious food to restore their energy levels and for the production of breastmilk.
¡°No problem! We are friends!¡±
This time Ming Yue Cheng stayed at the regent¡¯s residence. He left the study room and returned to his room. Gu Yun Wan was already waiting there. ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, when are you nning to go back to Nan Feng? I just received a letter from my father saying that something happened in the country. He said for you to go back quickly!¡±
Gu Yun Wan handed the letter to Ming Yue Cheng. After he looked at the contents of the letter, he frowned.
Nan Feng had just annexed Xi Qi. After the war, it was time to resume production. Xi Qi was gone, but the former officials and aristocrats of Xi Qi might not have faith in Nan Feng. It was still necessary to deploy manpower to take over the towns and enactws. There were indeed many things to be dealt with.
¡°If you are worried about that something will happen to the gu poison inside the little baby, then I can stay here to help. After all, I am from the Qiang tribe. I have some understanding of gu.¡±
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, Nan Feng is your country. If you, the emperor, are not going to be responsible for your own country and people, then it would be very difficult for Nan Feng to be strong. My father is already at an old age. If you let my father deal with everything, whether his body can handle it is one thing, but those rumors from outside are already enough for my father to suffer!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng knew about the rumor Gu Yun Wan spoke of. Since he ascended the throne, the time he spent in Nan Feng had been extremely rare. The state affairs were handed over to Gu Yun Wan¡¯s father, Qiang tribe¡¯s leader, Gu De to deal with. Over time, some people from below discussed, thinking that Gu De seized the monarchial power of Ming Yue Cheng. Although Ming Yue Cheng is the emperor of Nan Feng, but Gu De was the real policymaker. Some people even said that sooner orter, Gu De would seize the throne.
Even if Ming Yue Cheng trust Gu De and Gu Yun Wan, but after all, gossip was a fearful thing. This had given Gu De a lot of pressure. Furthermore, it had made the officials of the court waver. It seemed that he should go back.
¡°Little Wan, I¡¯m going back to Nan Feng. Then the child of Feng Qi Qi will be in your care. She (FQQ) had just gave birth and cannot travel far yet. I suppose that Feng Cang will wait for Feng Qi Qi to recover and then bring their child to Nan Feng together. During this period, I have to trouble you!¡±
Normally, Ming Yue Cheng and Gu Yun Wan got along like ¡®fighting and killing each other¡¯. Today, he suddenly expressed his gratitude, making her somewhat ufortable.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, I think you should adjust your mind early! Feng Qi Qi is already married, and now she is also a mother. You should say goodbye to the past and start a new beginning. You are the emperor of Nan Feng and will surely have three pces and six courtyard¡ª-.¡±
Three pces and six courtyards: emperor¡¯s harem
When she mentioned three pces and six courtyards, Gu Yun Wan clearly noticed that Ming Yue Cheng had frowned. However, she would not care about it so much. What she said was a fact.
¡°Even if you don¡¯t want that many women, you must have sons. Your imperial throne needs an imperial heir to inherit. You fled to Bei Zhou, but you still cannot escape from your responsibilities and obligations!¡±
Gu Yun Wan vigorously patted the shoulders of Ming Yue Cheng and gave him aforting look. ¡°When you go back, my father and the officials will certainly choose an imperial concubine for you. Ming Yue Cheng, since you cannot defy it, it would be better to happily ept it!¡±
How can Ming Yue Cheng not know that Gu Yun Wan was speaking the fact? But his heart was fully filled with only one person. Wanting to give up was really very difficult.
Ming Yue Cheng left in less than two days. After watching Feng Xiao¡¯s sleeping face, Ming Yue Cheng took off a bloodstone pendant and put it inside the nappy of Feng Xiao. Only after he left, did Su Yue found it when she was changing the nappy for Feng Xiao.
¡°Miss, look!¡± Su Yue quickly handed the pendant to Feng Qi Qi.
This piece of pendant used a natural bloodstone to carve it into a vivid and lifelike dragon. Looking at the pendant, Feng Qi Qi guessed it was a gift from Ming Yue Cheng to Feng Xiao. Bloodstone was very precious, and it was carved into a dragon shape too. Is there any deep meaning behind it?
Feng Qi Qi had doubts in her heart, but she didn¡¯t say them. She just put the bloodstone away with care and put it aside.
Gu Yun Wan stayed at the regent¡¯s residence. In less than two days, she became familiar with everyone.
Wanyan Ming Yue liked Gu Yun Wan¡¯s straightforwardness. Gu Yun Wan lost her mother young and liked to be close to Wanyan Ming Yue. In the end, Wanyan Ming Yue simply adopted her (GYW) as her daughter. Gu Yu Wan also changed from the empress dowager of Nan Feng to the adopted daughter of Princess Ming Yue.
Because of the sitting the month Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯te in contact with the wind and because she gave birth in the winter, Feng Qi Qi had been lying in the room since the birth of Feng Xiao. Gu Yun Wan came to Tingsong Building every day to check the body of Feng Xiao.
What made Gu Yun Wan curious about was that Feng Xiao¡¯s gu poison was umted in the lower abdomen. The child gu was like an obedient child and behaved well every day. This was not consistent with a personality of a gu at all. However, this was also good. As long as the gu poison doesn¡¯t attack, then it would not be so urgent to go to Nan Feng. Feng Qi Qi could also take a good care of her body.
¡°Feng Xiao is a well-behaved baby!¡± Gu Yun Wan teased Feng Xiao¡¯s small finger. She was particrly fond of children. Besides, Feng Xiao looked this adorable. Every time he saw her, Feng Xiao was particrly happy, making Gu Yun Wan feel that she and Feng Xiao had fate together. She was very fond of Feng Xiao from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that Gu Yun Wan liked Feng Xiao so much, Feng Qi Qi felt relieved. It was said that the people from the Qiang tribe didn¡¯t casually help outsiders cure the gu. Gu Yun Wan is the daughter of the Qiang tribe¡¯s leader. She likes Feng Xiao this much and may speak up for them to Gu De.
Because Feng Xiao¡¯s body had child gu, so Feng Qi Qi dearly loved this child. She felt that she owned him something. She must do everything personally.
Dongfang Lan originally wanted to find a couple of wet nurses to take care Feng Xiao. The children of royal aristocrats were all raised by wet nurses. There were already wet nurses and they were sent to Feng Qi Qi but was politely rejected by Feng Qi Qi. She wanted to feed Feng Xiao herself. In addition, she had enough breastmilk, so Dongfang Lan didn¡¯t persist in the end.
In a sh, one month had passed. The life during the confinement ¡¯sitting the month¡¯ was for Feng Qi Qi the same as eating, sleeping and breastfeeding the child. Feng Cang knew that she was a first-time mother, so he didn¡¯t want peopleing and going to disturb the mother (FQQ) and son (FX). He directly kept those whoe to congratte in the front yard and did not let them see Feng Qi Qi and the child.
Today is Feng Xiao¡¯s one-month old celebration. ording to the usual practice, one-month old¡¯s celebration meant that there would be a banquet for the guests.
Feng Cang was the regent and Feng Qi Qi was princess Zhen Guo. Solely these two points are enough to wear out the doorstep. The officials knew Feng Cang¡¯s abilities and not to mention Feng Qi Qi is the only daughter of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. To speak frankly, the stability of the country of Bei Zhou needed to rely on the Feng¡¯s family¡¯s support. Now, the Feng¡¯s family was the most honorable surname in Bei Zhou. Everyone wanted to be close to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. As long as they can be rted to the Feng¡¯s in any way, it would be a matter worth of pride and showing off.
To wear out the doorstep: to crowd at somebody¡¯s door
¡°Congrattions regent! Congrattions regent!¡±
Even though Feng Cang had already made a very big ce for the people, there were still too many peopleing to congratte. At the front hall of wangfu3 are all congrattory guests. Feng Qi and Feng Yu were so busy that they had no time to catch their breath. And, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were greeting those old ministers.
¡°Excuse me, where is thetrine?¡± A wealthy and noble woman stopped the maid of wangfu. Looking at her (noblewoman) expression, it seemed that she had eaten something wrong and had a bad stomach ache.
¡°Go out from here, go east, youe across a small courtyard, then go....¡±
¡°You said it tooplicated. I am so confused by you. It would be better for you to lead me there!¡± The noblewoman looked very kind but because of her stomachache, she was very anxious. When the maid saw the noblewoman like this, she hurriedly took her to thetrine.
Along the way, the noblewoman chatted with the maid in a friendly tone.
¡°What is your name?¡±
¡°This servant is called little Fang.¡± Little Fang smiled faintly. Except for Feng Qi Qi and Wanyan Ming Yue in wangfu, it was the first time that she saw such a friendly noblewoman.
Although those ordinary noblewomen showed a respected appearance in front of Feng Cang, but behind the back, they are arrogant and indifferent. They simply disdained to talk with people like her (little Fang), let alone to chat. Therefore, little Fang thought that the noblewoman in front of her was very kind.
¡°It¡¯s really a nice name! Little Fang, how many years have you been to the wang¡¯s4 residence?¡±
¡°Answering madam, this servant is family ve of wangfu and has been raised in the wangfu.¡±
Family ve means that the ves have served in the same ce for generations
¡°Oh...¡± While the noblewoman walked, she was admiring the beautiful scenery of wangfu. ¡°I heard that the regent doted on Princess Zhen Guo very much, is that true?¡±
Seeing that the noblewoman mentioned Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, little Fang¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Madam also heard of these things?! Our wangye loves wangfei5 the most! Wangye also promised wangfei to only be one pair of lovers for the whole lifetime. There are really very few people in the world that is like wangye! But wangfei is also very good. Beautiful and amiable, standing together with wangye is like a pair of golden boy and jade maiden. Truly a match made in heaven!¡±
Golden boys and jade maidens: a lovely young couple
Little Fang happily introduced the story of Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang to the noblewoman. She didn¡¯t notice that the noblewoman in front of her had sparks shing in the eyes after listening to those words. After a while, the two were outside thetrine.
¡°Madam, here it is¡ª-.¡±
Without waiting for little Fang to finish, her neck suffered a heavy blow and she fell to the ground before she could make a noise.
The noblewoman looked around and saw nobody. She dragged little Fang to one side, stripped her (little Fang) clothes and wore the clothes on herself. Afterwards, she loosened her hair and dressed up as the maid. Then took out the bronze mirror and made sure that she looked like the maid in wangfu. The noblewoman reached out and clutched little Fang¡¯s neck.
1. Guye: son-inw, used by wife¡¯s family
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Wangfu: residence of first-rank prince
4. Wang/wangye: first-rank prince
5. Wangfei: main consort of first-rank prince
Chapter 185 Attacking for the first time
Chapter 185 Attacking for the first time
Just with a ¡®ka cha¡¯ sound, little Fang¡¯s cervical spine was broken. Just like that, a vivid life had lost its vitality.
While no one was around, the noblewoman dragged the corpse of little Fang to thetrine. Then, she carefully put her (little Fang) into the dung bucket. When the faecal water drowned Little Fang¡¯s pale face, the noblewoman smiled coldly and left thetrine.
Just now on the way, she inquired a lot of things about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, such as where the two lived, and what kind of people served at their side. All of this came from Little Fang. Now, the woman dressed as a maid just followed what little Fang said, and went to Tingsong Building.
Tingsong Building
Su Mei helped Feng Xiao dress up and Su Yue was helping Feng Qi Qi dress up.
¡°Miss is really beautiful today!¡± Su Mei looked at Feng Qi Qi in the mirror and sighed. Feng Qi Qi was originally an outstanding beauty. Now because of giving birth to a child, a more mature charm was added. This made her look even more charming.
Ordinary women would be bloated and out of shape after giving birth, but Feng Qi Qi had been insisting on breastfeeding. In addition, she made her own nutritious meals during the one-month. Although she did not leave the room after getting out of bed, she still insisted on daily exercises in the room for a short time. Therefore, her figure had almost been recoveredpletely.
Su Yue had selected a red dress with golden-silken and silver threaded lotus flower for Feng Qi Qi. And the jewelry was mainly made of gold,plemented with all kinds of gemstones. It wasn¡¯t much, but they were extremely exquisite. It was produced by Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang.
From Feng Qi Qi¡¯s point of view, a sum of money had been lost on the matter of childbearing. It was absolutely necessary to quickly earn back this lost money. There must be many high officials and nobles bringing their wives along to the regent¡¯s residence today. She must show off her splendid clothes and jewelry to those courtdiester on. She believed that all women would be tempted. By that time, she could make a good fortune.
¡°Miss, look at little shizi1! Isn¡¯t he adorable?¡± Su Mei put the dressed-up Feng Xiao in front of Feng Qi Qi. Today is Feng Xiao one-month old celebration. Su Mei also chose to dress Feng Xiao up in red. The fiery red color lined with the fair and tender skin of Feng Xiao, and his purple eyes were just as cute as a little angel.
¡°Little shizi is really obedient today. He didn¡¯t cry nor did he made any trouble!¡± Su Yue liked Feng Xiao very much. She had never seen a more beautiful child than Feng Xiao. After seeing Su Yue like this, Su Mei covered up her mouth to smile. ¡°You like it. Just have one with teacher Nn! By that time, he can apany little shizi. How nice would it be!¡±
Teased by Su Mei, Su Yue¡¯s face became red. ¡°Bah! You¡¯re already a big girl and you¡¯re not even a bit shy! I think it¡¯s better to let Xiaoyao wang 2takes you as wife sooner. Settle down as the wangfei3 and then gives birth to a little shizi. By the time we see each other, I even need to call you wangfei! Miss, say, isn¡¯t that right?¡±
Su Yue looked at Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi already couldn¡¯t stopughing anymore. These two girls were always fighting back and forth, and made fun of each other. Normally, Su Yue would let Su Mei have it, but today Su Yue was also very eloquent.
¡°Su Yue, youugh at me! Miss, why did youugh at me too?¡± Su Mei bit her lip and her face burned red. After Wanyan Kang returned to the capital, he would go to wangfu4 every day. He came in the name of visiting his young nephew, but is in fact the drinker¡¯s heart is not in the cup. He came to see the beauty.
The drinker¡¯s heart is not in the cup: having an ulterior motive/ to have other things in mind
¡°I think Su Yue is quite right! I support her! By that time, I have to call you sister-inw!¡±
Feng Qi Qi said so, made Su Mei¡¯s small face red enough to bleed blood. She couldn¡¯t do anything to Feng Qi Qi, but instead reached out for the slender waist of Su Yue. ¡°It¡¯s your fault! You lead miss astray and now missughs at me!¡±
¡°Hahaha...¡± Su Yue was afraid of tickling the most. After seeing Su Mei like this, Su Yue could only surrender with her hands. ¡°Good Su Mei, please spare me! Good wangfei, let go of this little one!¡±
¡°You still talk!¡± Su Mei put more strengths into her hands and kept Su Yue weak and limp on the side. After she (SY) almostughed till shecked breath, did she (SM) stopped.
¡°Really cannot offend you!¡± Su Yueughed and rubbed her waist. ¡°It seems that only Xiaoyao wang can suppress you!¡±
¡°Who is talking about me?¡±
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, Su Yue¡¯s voice had just fell, then she heard someone knock on the door. Subsequently, Wanyan Kang appeared at the door. ¡°Cousin-inw, cousin brother asked me toe take a look and ask when you and little nephew can go over. The guests are all here!¡±
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives: speak of the devil and he appears
¡°Right away!¡± Feng Qi Qi once again checked if her make-up of today was decent in the mirror, while Wanyan Kang picked up Feng Xiao who was at a side. ¡°Good nephew, did you miss uncle?¡±
¡°Hmm...¡± Feng Xiao spat bubbles and his big eyes looked at Wanyan Kang.
¡°Yo, so to speak, you miss me? Really obedient!¡± Wanyan Kang liked this nephew very much. Not only because of the lovely appearance of Feng Xiao, but also because Feng Xiao and he really hit it off. Don¡¯t know why, every time he teased Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao was extremely well-behaved. Not crying or making trouble. But whenever Feng Cang came over, Feng Xiao would immediately pout to cry.
Feng Xiao treated them with apletely different attitude. This had let Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart been greatly satisfied. Everything of Feng Cang was stronger than him. But only on the matter of children, he who is the uncle was more lovable than Feng Cang, who is the father. Wanyan Kang was socent that he even ridiculed Feng Cang. Saying that Feng Cang looked too scary. That was why he frightened the children.
¡°Good nephew, uncle will take you to the front hall! There are a lot of rich people over there. We are so going to rip those people off. Do you think we can do it?¡±
Wanyan Kang continued to tease Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao seemed to understand what he meant. He babbled an ¡°hmm...¡± sound again.
¡°Good! Uncle is bringing you! Cousin-inw, I¡¯m taking Feng Xiao to the front hall first!¡±
¡°Okay, you go first! Feng Qi Qi nodded.
When Wanyan Kang went out, Su Mei stepped out too. ¡°Hey, be careful! Don¡¯t let little shizi be bumped or be hit!¡±
¡°I know! Don¡¯t worry!¡±
When Su Mei came back, Feng Qi Qi and Su Yue had a smile in their eyes. They kept looking at Su Mei, making her embarrassed. ¡°Why are you two staring at me? Is there something on my face!?¡±
¡°Su Mei, when are you nning to marry ah Kang? Look, how much ah Kang likes children! If you have your own children, ah Kang must be a good father. He will love his children very much!¡±
Feng Qi Qi said so, made Su Mei¡¯s heart beat faster. ¡°Miss, I think, it¡¯s better to wait after wee back from Nan Feng and then talk. After the gu poison inside little shizi¡¯s body is cured, you and wangye will be at ease. I can also get married with a peaceful mind.¡±
So Su Mei was waiting for this. This made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart warm. ¡°Silly Su Mei, these two are not contradictory! Ah Kang has been waiting for you so long. If you still don¡¯t marry, he will be stolen by other girls!¡±
¡°He dares!¡± Su Mei red. She heard aughter, only to realize that Feng Qi Qi was teasing her. ¡°Miss!¡± Su Mei stomped. ¡°I¡¯m ignoring you two!¡±
Su Mei blushed. Feng Qi Qi was also ready and left Tingsong Building with Su Yue.
Wanyan Kang teased Feng Xiao while walking forward, and turned to a long corridor. In front of him, a maid appeared
¡°Paying my respect to wangye!¡± The maid hurriedly greeted.
¡°Get up!¡± Wanyan Kang swept over her once. He held Feng Xiao and was about to pass by her. Unexpectedly, the maid stood up and smiled. ¡°Our wangye let this vee and see if wangfei and little shizi are ready. The guests in the front hall are all waiting to see little shizi!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll be right there!¡±
¡°Wangye, it¡¯s better to let this ve hold little shizi!¡± The maid stretched out her hand and wanted to take over the child from Wanyan Kang but was directly rejected by Wanyan Kang. ¡°No, benwang5 will carry him myself!¡±
When Wanyan Kang said this, the eyes of the maid turned gloomy but she didn¡¯t show it.
Wanyan Kang walked in front and the maid walked behind. When no one was around, the maid pulled a dagger out of her sleeve. As she was about to plunge it into the back of Wanyan Kang, a woman¡¯s voice came over. ¡°Wangye, wait for me...¡± The maid quickly hid the dagger in her sleeve.
Wanyan Kang stopped and waited for her after recognizing the voice of Su Mei. These two people were used to their intimacy and didn¡¯t care at all that there was a maid beside them. When Su Mei came forward, Wanyan Kang reached out to her temple to tuck a wisp of hair behind the ear. ¡°Slow down! I won¡¯t run. What are you doing panting like this?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Su Mei looked at the maid beside Wanyan Kang. Su Mei¡¯s face sank after thinking of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words previously. ¡°Where are you from, girl? Howe I have never seen you before?¡±
¡°This ve is wangfu¡¯s family ve. It¡¯s just that there are too many people in wangfu. There¡¯s no way missus can remember this ve!¡± The maid lowered her head slightly and spoke neither servile nor overbearing.
Neither servile nor overbearing: neither humble nor arrogant
¡°Is it?¡±
Su Mei circled around the maid and didn¡¯t see any problems. Although there were not many maids in wangfu, but because she had lived mostly with Feng Qi Qi in the Tingsong Building, she didn¡¯t really know much about the people of wangfu. Su Yue knew these things much better, but she wasn¡¯t here.
¡°Don¡¯t you have things to do? Everyone else is busy. How do you still have time to take a break?¡± When she said this, Su Mei looked at Wanyan Kang. The girl in front was quite pretty and walked alongside Wanyan Kang just now. The more she thought about it, the fishier it was.
The sour taste in Su Mei¡¯s words made Wanyan Kang very happy. In the past he had proposed to Su Mei several times, but it was all rejected by Su Mei. Wanyan Kang¡¯s self-confidence was therefore somewhat low, but now he saw that Su Mei was actually inexplicably jealous because of a small maid. This improved Wanyan Kang¡¯s mood immediately.
¡°It was our wangye who asked this ve to see if wangfei and little shizi are ready. He also asked this ve to carry little shizi over there.¡±
Taji Guli disguised as the maid, clenched both hands into a fist. She didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Kang liked the little shizi so much that he refused to let go, nor did she expect Su Mei to appear in the middle of it.
Previously, it was Wanyan Kang and Feng Cang¡¯s Ruyi who led the troops that utterly defeated her n and killed her little brother. Just a moment ago, when Wanyan Kang walked in front, Taji Guli almost killed this ¡®enemy¡¯. Before she pulled out the dagger from her sleeve, Su Mei rushed over. It was really unfortunate!
However, listening to the dialogue between Su Mei and Wanyan Kang, the rtionship between the two seemed to be unusual. It seemed that Su Mei must be the one recognized by Feng Qi Qi as sister and the person who had an engagement with Wanyan Kang.
1. Shizi: heir of the first-rank prince/crown prince by the main wife
2. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank
3. Wangfei: main consort of the prince of first rank
4. Wangfu: resident of the first-rank prince
5. Benwang: this king, I, used by the first-rank prince
Chapter 186 (Part 1) Cut off her left hand
Chapter 186 (Part 1) Cut off her left hand
Taji Guli couldn¡¯t help but look at Su Mei twice. Wanyan Kang destroyed her n, so she had to ruin Wanyan Kang¡¯s lover in return. In this way, we called it a revenge for a revenge.
How could Su Mei not understand Taji Guli¡¯s thoughts? Although she didn¡¯t know that Taji Guli wanted to ruin her to retaliate against Wanyan Kang, Su Mei could still see the chilliness in the eyes of this woman. However, Su Mei who was overwhelmed by jealousy didn¡¯t think differently about it. Instead, she thought that Taji Guli had really fallen for Wanyan Kang, which made her (SM) feel annoyed.
¡°We will send little shizi1 ourselves. Go busy yourself with other things!¡±
Su Mei walked with Wanyan Kang without hesitation towards the front hall, leaving Taji Guli ferociously looking at the back of Su Mei as if she could make a hole in Su Mei¡¯s back by ring at her.
But how could she let go of such a good opportunity?! Taji Guli wasn¡¯t someone who would just leave after a word from Su Mei.
¡°Wangye2, let me carry little shizi to the front hall! This is our wangye¡¯smand. You are making things difficult for this ve!¡± Taji Guli stubbornly stood in front of Wanyan Kang and Su Mei, and insisted on holding Feng Xiao.
¡°What the hell?¡±
The more Su Mei looked at this maid, the more unpleasant she was.
¡°Because this ve was sent by wangye. This ve only listens to themand of wangye.¡± Taji Guli tried to frighten Su Mei with the name of Feng Cang. What she never expected was that Feng Qi Qi and Su Yue had already arrived from behind.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? What happened?¡±
A fiery red dressed Feng Qi Qi slowly arrived. At the first sight of Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli had a feeling of almost being suffocated.
The well-defined ck and white of her (FQQ) eye, the pretty dimples of her artful smile and her every movement, revealed nobleness and excellence. That small and exquisite facial features were so matched that it wasfortable to watch, just like a fairy who stayed in the human world. Especially, the little cinnabar mole between Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyebrows made her a little more immortal.
Feng Qi Qi walked over step by step. Her pace was light and her skirt was like the shallow wave, slowly moving forward. This made Taji Guli stare in awe.
It was no wonder that Feng Cang would fall in love with such a woman. Even she would also be fascinated by Feng Qi Qi.
Looking at Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli thought of her left face. At that time, Feng Cang knocked her down from the horse. Her left face was destroyed, so she tattooed her face to cover up those ugly scars. Now,pared to the fairy-like Feng Qi, she was simply an ugly woman. Men are mostly visual. Even ordinary men would not like her current face, let alone Feng Cang....
In the end, all the emotions turned into something called envy, jealousy and hatred. Taji Guli envied Feng Qi Qi¡¯s stunning appearance, and also hated herself for losing in terms of appearance. However, she didn¡¯t hate Feng Cang who brought such painful results to her. Instead, she hated Feng Qi Qi to the bones.
This woman stole her beloved man. Wasn¡¯t it all relying on this face that was able to charm the world?! If she (FQQ) was disfigured, Feng Cang would also abandon her (FQQ). She (TG) also wanted this woman who was much doted, get a taste of heartbreak.
¡°Miss....¡± Su Mei greeted Feng Qi Qi. Subsequently, she called Su Yue over. ¡°Su Yue, she said that she is wangfu¡¯s servant. Have you ever seen her?¡±
Su Yue looked at Taji Guli for a moment and shook her head. ¡°Which courtyard are you from? Why haven¡¯t I seen you before?¡±
¡°This ve lives far away. Of course, missus wouldn¡¯t know.¡± Taji Guli quickly defended herself, but her words made Su Mei even more distrustful of her. ¡°Su Yue know all the people in wangfu3. Since Su Yue hasn¡¯t seen you before, then you¡¯re not from wangfu. Say! Who the hell are you?¡±
¡®Bang....¡¯ Taji Guli¡¯s legs weakened and she knelt before Feng Qi Qi. ¡°This ve is really a servant from wangfu, but is a new one. There weren¡¯t enough people due to little shizi¡¯s one month birthday banquet, so I was arranged toe help.¡±
¡°Is it?¡± Feng Qi also noticed something strange. She nodded to Su Mei and Su Yue. The two stepped forward and helped Taji Guli get up. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. When we see the housekeeper, we will know who you are! Let¡¯s go with us!¡±
¡°What are you doing?¡± Taji Guli pretended to be frightened. Su Mei raised an eyebrow. ¡°What? You don¡¯t dare to confront it? Or are you feeling guilty?¡±
¡°This ve didn¡¯t!¡± Taji Guli straightened her back. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Su Mei and Su Yue were a bit surprised after seeing her (TGL) in this state. Could she really be a new servant? The two followed Taji Guli from behind, while Wanyan Kang held Feng Xiao, walked beside Feng Qi Qi and chatted with her.
Taji Guli walked in front, but she was thinking about how to break away from the current situation. If Su Mei and Su Yue really brought her to the confrontation, her identity would be exposed. There was still some distance from the front hall, she had to find an opportunity to run away. How to get rid of the current predicament and get out of here was a question that Taji Guli had to ponder.
¡°Aiya....¡± When they reached the rockery, Taji Guli¡¯s hand pressed her stomach and shouted.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°This ve may have eaten something bad. Ever since yesterday, I had diarrhea.¡± Taji Guli painfully bowed into a shrimp-like shape. Su Yue stepped forward and wanted to check on her. To her surprise, the other person (TGL) directly scattered a white powder.
¡°Be careful!¡± Feng Qi Qi warned the others to hold their breath. On the other hand, Wanyan Kang discovered that his hands were empty. ¡°Not good! She snatched the child!¡±
Feng Qi Qi immediately jumped up and stood on the rockery after hearing that her son was snatched away. Then she saw Taji Guli was fleeing in the wangfu. ¡°Chase her!¡± Feng Qi Qi chased first and then Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue followed after.
Taji Guli was not very familiar with wangfu, so she just kept running. She just entered a yard, then she noticed a cold breeze behind her. She dodged it quickly, but she found out that Feng Qi Qi had already caught up.
¡°Don¡¯te over! Stoping or I¡¯ll kill him!¡± Forced without any choices, Taji Guli grasped Feng Xiao¡¯s tiny neck. ¡°Did you hear?! Don¡¯te over!¡±
When Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue rushed over, they saw such a scene. Feng Xiao was snatched away from his (WK) own hands by this woman in front of him, made Wanyan Kang very angry. ¡°Who are you? Put down Xiao er!¡±
¡°Who am I?¡± After listening to Wanyan Kang, Taji Guli sneered and tore off the man-made skin from her face. ¡°Wanyan Kang, now you know who I am!¡±
¡°Taji Guli?!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s face sank after seeing the distinct ck tattoo on the woman¡¯s left face. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect you toe to Yan capital!¡±
¡°Is Xiaoyao wang very surprised?¡± Taji Guli spoke while her fingers wandered around the neck of Feng Xiao, as if Feng Xiao was a beautiful piece of art. She was carefully studying it.
¡°Let go of the child!¡±
Wanyan Kang spoke while he threw Feng Qi Qi a significant look.
¡°Don¡¯t n anything! Don¡¯t think I can¡¯t see it!¡± Taji Guli captured the message of Wanyan Kang. Her slightly ck hand locked on Feng Xiao¡¯s throat. ¡°Don¡¯t y any tricks! Otherwise, I will bury him with me!¡±
¡°Taji Guli, put down my son. I will let you go!¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart panicked, but her face still remained calm.
Feng Qi Qi knew a bit about the matter regarding Taji Guli. She (FQQ) also knew that she (TG) was defeated by Feng Cang and that the scar on her face was bestowed by Feng Cang. Previously, Wanyan Kang fought in the north and defeated the Jurchen n. During that time, Guoba was beheaded and Taji Guli absconded. Unexpectedly, she actually fled to Yan capital. Could this be the so-called ¡°the most dangerous ce is also the safest ce¡±?
It seemed like this woman in front was not so stupid at all. However, what did she want to do by sneaking into wangfu? Could it be to capture Feng Xiao?
In Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes, there were no people more important than Feng Cang and Feng Xiao in this world. Now, Feng Xiao was in Taji Guli¡¯s hands. Seeing her son¡¯s tender face turn red because of difficulty with breathing, Feng Qi Qi desperately wanted to kill Taji Guli.
¡°Let me go? Will you be so kind? Do I trust you?¡± Taji Guli sneered at the words of Feng Qi Qi. She wasn¡¯t so stupid! She would be safe as long as Feng Xiao was in her hands. If she really released Feng Xiao, they would surely turn against her and kill her immediately.
Currently, Taji Guli regretted that she hade alone. She wanted to see what Feng Cang¡¯s woman looked like. And meanwhile, kidnapped Feng Cang¡¯s son to talk to him (FC) about the conditions. So she didn¡¯t bring anyone along and went into wangfu alone. Taji Guli never imagined that Feng Qi Qi was such an astute person and never even thought that Su Yue actually knew everyone in wangfu.
Today, she was defeated by Feng Qi Qi. Taji Guli refused to ept it. From Taji Guli¡¯s point of view, the reason why Feng Qi Qi could beat her and upied Feng Cang¡¯s heart, was because she (FQQ) had a pretty face. Feng Qi Qi was nothing without such face.
At this moment, Taji Guli was somewhat panicking after being surrounded by Feng Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang and the others. She didn¡¯t know whether she could sessfully get away today! She didn¡¯t want to die here, at least, she couldn¡¯t die now! She hadn¡¯t married Feng Cang and hadn¡¯t be his bride yet. She absolutely couldn¡¯t get caught by Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Get out of the way! Or I¡¯ll choke him to death!¡±
Taji Guli put a little more strength in her hand as she spoke. To her surprise, Feng Xiao didn¡¯t cry nor made noises from the beginning till now. Even when his throat was clutched, Feng Xiao didn¡¯t cry. His face only turned red.
Was this really an one-month-old baby? Feng Xiao was so abnormal that Taji Guli couldn¡¯t help but look down at Feng Xiao. After looking at that pair of purple eyes of Feng Xiao, Taji Guli froze.
This was wrong! Feng Cang¡¯s eyes are ck, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes are also ck. But why are the eyes of Feng Xiao purple? Could it be...? Taji Guli looked at Feng Qi Qi. Could it be that this child was ¡®the bastard¡¯ of Feng Qi Qi and others?
Time was pressing. Taji Guli had no time to think and to see whether Feng Xiao¡¯s features were simr to Feng Cang. Personally, she had already ced a title of ¡®illegitimate child¡¯ on Feng Xiao. At the thought of her beloved man and made his spirit and soul upside down for this woman. Now, he also had to ept the child of Feng Qi Qi and others, Taji Guli found it unfair for Feng Cang.
Spirit and soul upside down: infatuated and head over heels in love / fascinated/captivated
¡°Taji Guli, let go of my child!¡± Two golden threads appeared in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands. The appearance of Feng Xiao made Feng Qi Qi feel extremely heartache for him. This child unexpectedly didn¡¯t cry nor made noises. This made Feng Qi Qi as the mother even more ufortable! She wished she could immediately kill Taji Guli!
¡°Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang was so good to you. You actually betrayed him? How can you let him down?! Feng Cang was so good to you from the bottom of his heart, but you simply failed him!
What Taji Guli said seemed a bit ridiculous to Feng Qi Qi. What kind of messy things is she saying? What did she mean? Feng Qi Qi was toozy to argue with her. The golden thread in her hand shed. ¡°Taji Guli, I say it once more! Let go of my child and I will spare you! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make you regret everything you did today!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t....¡±
When she said this, Taji Guli suddenly smelled an unusual smell. Her left hand that was holding Feng Xiao, also became wet. It seemed like there was a kind of warm water, which was falling from her fingers to the ground.
When she saw her hand with the warm urine of the child, Taji Guli screamed and threw Feng Xiao away. ¡°Ah.¡± In her whole life, she hated these dirty things the most. Besides, this urine dried very quickly on her hands. That kind of weird smell made Taji Guli almost want to vomit.

Chapter 186 (Part 2) Cut off her left hand
Chapter 186 (Part 2) Cut off her left hand
¡°Xiao er1!¡± Wanyan Kang jumped into the air and carried Feng Xiao into his arms. At the same time, the golden threads in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand flew towards Taji Guli and wrapped around her (TGL) left hand that was choking Feng Xiao.
¡°Aahh....¡± Only a scream was heard. The golden threads cut off Taji Guli¡¯s left hand evenly from the wrist area.
The broken hand fell to the ground and dyed the ice and snow on the soil red. Taji Guli held her broken arm and tried to pick up her left hand. At the same time, the weapons in the hands of Su Mei and Su Yue had already gone straight to her (TG) face.
¡°Be careful!¡±
A figure suddenly appeared and threw a smoke bomb. The thick smoke spread out and enveloped everyone in it. After the smoke dispersed, Taji Guli had already disappeared. Only her broken left hand remained on the ground.
¡°Chase!¡± Su Mei and Su Yue chased out, while Feng Qi Qi quickly came to Wanyan Kang¡¯s side. ¡°Let me see the child!¡±
¡°The child is alright! Cousin-inw, I¡¯ll go after them too!¡±
Wanyan Kang was just ready to go but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Ah Kang, go seal off the capital! If it¡¯s toote, they will definitely escape from the city. Then it will be even harder to capture Taji Guli!¡±
¡°I understand, cousin-inw!¡±
Feng Qi Qi inspected Feng Xiao from head to toe. Only after seeing him safe and sound, did she feel relieved. Touching the ice-cold and wet nappy, Feng Qi Qi quickly held Feng Xiao and rushed back to Tingsong Building.
¡°You little one, today mother was terrified by you!¡±
Feng Qi Qi got warm water and gave Feng Xiao a clean wash. Afterwards, she gently applied ointment to his neck. Taji Guli¡¯s hands were very strong and Feng Xiao¡¯s skin was very delicate, so now the little baby¡¯s neck was clearly marked with blue and purple bruises. Seeing that, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears couldn¡¯t help but fall.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! It¡¯s mother¡¯s fault! I didn¡¯t take good care of you! It¡¯s mother¡¯s fault!¡± Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell down like beautiful pearls. After she put clothes on Feng Xiao and wrapped him in the nappy, she finally wiped the tears from her eyes.
¡°Woo....¡±
Feng Xiao rolled his big eyes and had been staring at Feng Qi Qi. His red face of a moment ago had now returned to normal. He seemed to understand why Feng Qi Qi was sad, and Feng Xiao began to ¡®yiyi yaya¡¯, as if to say ¡®mother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m alright!¡¯
After seeing Feng Xiao being so obedient, Feng Qi Qi felt even more sad. ¡°Xiao er, let¡¯s go! Let your father avenge us!¡±
When Feng Qi Qi carried Feng Xiao to the front hall, Wanyan Jie and Dongfang Lan had already been there for a while. Feng Cang was greeting them, when he saw Feng Qi Qi and strode over. ¡°Qing Qing, you are here!¡±
Because the ce Taji Guli just went was the remotest ce in wangfu2, the incident hadn¡¯t yet reached Feng Cang. Now, seeing Feng Cang walked gently over, Feng Qi Qi called. ¡°Cang....¡± Her tears immediately poured down like the broken gate of a flood.
Princess Zhen Guo crying like this, surprised the numerous officials and their wives. What exactly happened? Wasn¡¯t this the one-month birthday banquet? Why was Feng Qi Qi crying?
After seeing the tears of the woman in front of him, Feng Cang¡¯s heart tightened. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What happened?¡±
¡°Just now, there was a thief in the residence. They almost took Xiao er away! Ah Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue went to chase the thief. Cang, look at our Xiao er!¡± Feng Qi Qi opened the nappy and let Feng Cang see the marks on Feng Xiao¡¯s neck.
¡°Who was that person?¡± Feng Cang¡¯s face was gloomy after looking at the horrible marks on his beloved son¡¯s tender neck. A violent aura spread out of him, caused everyone at the scene to shudder.
¡°It¡¯s Taji Guli! She snatched Xiao er and threatened to kill him!¡±
¡°Taji Guli?¡± Dongfang Lan quickly came over and took Feng Xiao from Feng Qi Qi. At this time, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie also rushed over. ¡°Oh God! That heartless woman! She wants to kill Xiao er!¡± Dongfang Lan was very angry. ¡°Servants, go and search the city! Find this snake-hearted woman!¡±
¡°Grandmother, I had already let Ah Kang seal off the capital!¡±
¡°Good! Dare to touch aijia¡¯s3 little great-grandson! Must find her!¡±
Feng Cang and Dongfang Lan had the same attitude. He held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and his voice became cold. ¡°Taji Guli was truly courageous to sneak into the regent¡¯s residence? Don¡¯t know...who gave her this courage?¡±
When he said this, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes swept over the guests who hade to congratte him. The chilliness in his eyes made everyone feel scared. What did the regent mean? Could it be that Taji Guli was rted to these guests? Did a guest bring her in?
These people were scared as soon as they thought of those methods of Feng Cang. Those officials were all ¡®you look at me, I look at you¡¯. No one dared to utter a word, but in their heart, all were wondering ¡°who actually did this ¡®good thing¡¯!¡±
¡°Ji Xiang!¡± Feng Cang called out Ji Xiang. He pulled off the tiger tally from his waist and tossed it to her. ¡°Pass on my orders. Let the Eagle troup seal off the city gates. All people are not allowed to leave the capital. You, take some people and search each and every house for me! Benwang4 wants to see who has such great courage to actually harbor an imperial court criminal! If the one who harbors the criminal was found, catch him! If he resists, kill him!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Ji Xiang took the tiger tally and rushed out.
After doing these, Feng Cang softlyforted Feng Qi Qi. After a while, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears stopped. Dongfang Lan treasured this great-grandson, Feng Xiao. She carried him and left the ce, apanied by Wanyan Jie and Wanyan Ming Yue.
The main character of this one-month birthday banquet had already left, but Feng Cang didn¡¯t n to let these officials return.
¡°Sit! Let the feast begin!¡± Feng Cang said so but called over the housekeeper Feng Qi. He (FC) whispered a few words to him (FQ) and then Feng Qi retreated.
¡°Thank you all for attending the full moon banquet of my son! Thanks a lot!¡± A ¡®thanks a lot¡¯ was said from Feng Cang¡¯s mouth, but it was full of coldness. Feng Cang knew that although his wangfu¡¯s manpower was limited, but their defense was still very much avable. Today was Feng Xiao¡¯s full moon banquet so, there wasn¡¯t enough manpower, but he never expected that Taji Guli would sneak in.
Every single person who entered wangfu could onlye in with an invitation card. That could only mean one thing. Taji Guli entered wangfu with one of the officials in front of him. In other words, someone in the court had taken Taji Guli in. It seemed to Feng Cang that this was an extremely dangerous signal!
Although Dong Lu, Xi Qi and the Jurchen n had be history, Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli weren¡¯t captured yet. Now, Taji Guli was actually in the capital of Bei Zhou, indicating that someone in the court was in collusion with her.
Who on earth was it? Who had such a great courage to take Taji Guli in?
When Feng Cang was silent, Feng Yumanded the people to serve the dishes. Delicious foods were put one by one on the table. However, the people sitting there all had lost their interest in tasting. Assassinating the regent¡¯s little shizi5, how big of a crime was it?! No one could take on the fury of Feng Cang.
When everyone was worried, Mu Hua¡¯s heart also felt unsettled. Taji Guli was really crazy! She actually sneaked into the vision of Feng Cang and also wanted to kill Feng Xiao! This woman was so stupid! Didn¡¯t they discuss it already that everything should go ording to the n? This woman looked very smart, but why did she lose her mind today?
Feng Qi led the people and searched the whole wangfu carefully. Until the afternoon, did hee back to the front hall.
¡°Wangye6, this is the clothes we found at the side of thetrine. Taji Guli killed a maid of wangfu and changed into the maid¡¯s appearance. The corpse of the maid had been found in thetrine.¡±
Feng Cang sent the invitation cards for the one-month birthday banquet of Feng Xiao to the officials in the capital. Moreover, the invitation cards of the regent¡¯s wangfu were specially customized. It was simply impossible to fake it. Feng Qi took out the invitation card from the clothes and handed over with both hands. Feng Cang took and looked at it. The name on this card was an official from the capital.
¡°Zhou De Li?¡± Feng Cang read aloud. After hearing the name, those who waited for the results, quickly looked around to see where this bastard Zhou De Li was hiding. Just looking around one time, they discovered that this person simply didn¡¯te.
¡°Go to Zhou De Li¡¯s house!¡±
After waiting for a while, Feng Qi hurried back. ¡°Wangye, sir Zhou fainted in his own carriage. It seemed that he was drugged.¡±
Only after listening to Feng Qi¡¯s words, did Mu Hua¡¯s heart rx. Fortunately, Taji Guli wasn¡¯t so stupid. She still knew to take someone else¡¯s card to enter. However, don¡¯t know where this stupid woman was hiding now! He hoped she didn¡¯t go to the prime minister¡¯s residence. At this moment, don¡¯t implicate him at all.
¡°Since no one was involved, I troubled you to take this trip here today! My beloved son was frightened today. Benwang has to catch the culprit to avenge my son, so I won¡¯t keep everyonepany anymore. Please enjoy, everyone! Feng Qi help benwang kindly take care of the guests!¡± Feng Cang stood up and apologized, then he held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and went to the back.
¡°What actually happened?¡± While they walked, Feng Cang asked Feng Qi Qi. At this moment, he was rushing to see Feng Xiao. A moment ago, he only took a nce and didn¡¯t look closely. Now, it was certain that Taji Guli wasn¡¯t brought by the visitors. The first thing he had to do was to see his baby son first.
Feng Qi Qi carefully told him what had happened. After listening that Feng Qi Qi had cut off Taji Guli¡¯s hand, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes showed an approved look.
¡°Who saved Taji Guli? Was it Longze Jing Tian?¡±
Feng Cang mentioned Longze Jing Tian, made Feng Qi Qi somewhat surprised. ¡°It¡¯s not him. I know the voice of Longze Jing Tian. Why do you think it¡¯s him?¡±
¡°If Taji Guli can hide in Yan capital, Longze Jing Tian also can. I¡¯m worried about them joining forces. That¡¯s going to be trouble....¡±
An unprecedented arrest was being carried out outside wangfu.
Themoners were furious when they learned that little shizi from the regent¡¯s residence was almost killed. They earned a lot of money due to the birth of this little shizi. He was practically their lucky star! Now, someone wanted to kill little shizi? Who was actually so heartless! He/she was really a bastard! Out of anger, themoners of Yan capital also volunteered to help the Eagle troup find Taji Guli¡¯s whereabouts.
As Mu Hua was hoping in his heart for Taji Guli to not hide at his ce, this woman indeed hid at the prime minister¡¯s residence.
¡°Hey, Guli, how are you?¡± Duyi patted Taji Guli¡¯s face. The housekeeper of the prime minister¡¯s residence had already found a doctor to bind up Taji Guli¡¯s left hand. Fortunately, Duyi had already deal with the broken left hand. If not, she would die of bleeding. It would then be the end of her life.
¡°Die, wouldn¡¯t die....¡± Taji Guli¡¯s lips were pale as she frowned. The pain from her broken hand made her shiver all over. ¡°Duyi, Thank you...today....¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention it! Don¡¯t be so foolish next time! It¡¯s impossible for you to fight against Feng Cang with your own strength alone.¡±
When he spoke this, Duyi thought of Feng Qi Qi. That woman was quick and cruel. And the golden threads in her hand was a weapon that totally could take away a human life. Fortunately, he was prepared. Otherwise, they would all die today at the regent¡¯s residence.
¡°Feng Qi Qi is very powerful! You can¡¯t afford to offend her!¡± Duyi gave Taji Guli a word of advice. ¡°In the future, you better don¡¯t go to provoke her!¡±
¡°No...I have to take revenge!¡± As soon as she remembered her left hand was cut off by Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli hated Feng Qi Qi from the bottom of her heart.
Previously, she thought that Feng Qi Qi gained the favor of Feng Cang by the virtue of beauty. Now, she knew that she was wrong. This woman had strong power. However, Taji Guli didn¡¯t think that she was less than Feng Qi Qi. Today, it was an ident. She was careless, and the other party had many people. If it was one-on-one, she may not lose to Feng Qi Qi.
Duyi saw the ¡®unwillingness to submit¡¯ from Taji Guli¡¯s eyes. This woman had lost her left hand because of her stubbornness and obstinacy. Now, she still refused to repent, and remained so stubborn.
¡°This is a decoction. Drink it every morning and evening. This is herbal ster. It should be changed every five days.¡±
The doctor who had bandaged the wounds of Taji Guli, wrote prescriptions and handed them to the housekeeper. ¡°If there is nothing else, I will take my leave! I wille back to visit this girl tomorrow!¡±
¡°Alright, thank you!¡± Duyi smiled and sent the doctor. He waited until the doctor carried his medicine box and turned to go. A dagger appeared in Duyi¡¯s hand and was directly plunged into the back of the doctor.

Chapter 187 (Part 1) Wanyan Kang and Su Mei¡¯s wedding
¡°Ah....¡± The doctor didn¡¯t make a sound yet, he already fell head first on the floor and died. If this doctor knew that he would be killed after the examination, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have take this trip.
¡°Why did you kill him?¡±
The housekeeper of the prime minister¡¯s residence was anxious after seeing Duyi like this. ¡°He saved somebody just now. Why did you kill him?¡±
¡°Housekeeper, don¡¯t you know the word ¡®kill them to keep their mouth shut¡¯? If he gives us all away, then it will be troublesome! At that time, it isn¡¯t just us who will be unlucky, but also your master....¡± Duyi pulled out the dagger from the doctor¡¯s back and rubbed the blood of the dagger on the corpse. Only then did he put away the dagger.
Kill (them) to keep (their) mouth shut: murder somebody to prevent them from revealing a secret.
¡°You guys...ay....¡± The housekeeper didn¡¯t know whether it was good or bad for Mu Hua to cooperate with these people. Just as he didn¡¯t know what to do, Mu Hua returned to the prime minister¡¯s residence.
When he saw the injured Taji Guli and Duyi, Mu Hua was very surprised. ¡°Why are you all here?¡±
¡°She was injured. I couldn¡¯t find herrade, so I brought her here.¡± Duyi shrugged his shoulders. Only now did Mu Hua saw Taji Guli¡¯s broken left hand. He was very startled. ¡°Princess Guli, your hand?¡±
¡°It was Feng Qi Qi that bitch who injured me!¡±
Taji Guli gritted her teeth at the mention of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s name. This woman was too heartless! She (FQQ) actually cut off her (TG) left hand! What else could she do without a left hand? Wasn¡¯t it the same as being a rubbish then?!
After listening to Taji Guli said that all this was done by Feng Qi Qi, Mu Hua was even more surprised. He more or less knew about the abilities of Taji Guli whereas Feng Qi Qi was so delicate and sweet. A moment ago, when she was shedding tears in front of Feng Cang, she was so pitiful. It didn¡¯t show at all that her martial arts was actually so outstanding and her method so vicious.
¡°I must take revenge! I must!¡± Taji Guli¡¯s face was pale. The pain from her broken left hand constantly reminded her of everything that happened today.
¡°You shouldn¡¯t think about these things now. Let¡¯s talk about the revenge thingster on. Because you went to the regent¡¯s pce today and almost injured little shizi1, Feng Cang has already let people seal off the city gates. He even mobilized the Eagle troop to search the city! Presumably, it won¡¯t be long before they will search here!¡±
¡°They even dare to search the prime minister¡¯s residence?¡± Duyi was somewhat unconvinced. After all, Mu Hua was the prime minister. How insolent was Feng Cang that he wouldn¡¯t not give face? Wouldn¡¯t it cause any criticism for searching a first rank high official¡¯s residence?
It must be said that Duyi¡¯s thoughts were silly and naive. Mu Hua could already see his (DY) naiveness from the face of Duyi.
¡°Duyi, you really don¡¯t understand Feng Cang. As long as he cares about it, even if he needs against the heaven, he will still do it. Today, Princess Guli touched his forbidden spot. Don¡¯t mention my prime minister¡¯s residence, even if it was the Imperial Pce. Feng Cang will make people search it!¡±
¡°Search the city?¡± As soon as Taji Guli heard it, she wanted to stand up. ¡°My brothers are still in the inn of the city. Aren¡¯t they in danger? I have to go find them! I....¡±
Before she could stand up, Taji Guli was hit by a wave of dizziness. Duyi quickly stepped forward to hold her. ¡°You are already like this. Why are you still so impulsive! If you go out now and was caught, aren¡¯t you throwing your life away?!¡±
¡°But they are my brothers who have been following me for years from the cradle to the grave. I, I can¡¯t abandon them!¡±
From the cradle to the grave: go through fire and water/willing to risk one¡¯s life
Taji Guli struggled to stand up, but she who had lost too much blood, was less capable than desirable.
Less capable than desirable: not as strong as one would wish
Duyi sighed after seeing Taji Guli like this. ¡°Don¡¯t torment yourself anymore! I¡¯ll take a look for you! Where is the ce? I¡¯ll go inform them!¡±
¡°It¡¯s the Hengtong Inn in the west of the city.¡± Taji Guli¡¯s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Today¡¯s move was nheless a mistake. But what Taji Guli didn¡¯t expect was that Duyi would rescue her. Now, he was even willing to take the risk to inform her people. Previously, she was always arguing with him for some trivial matters. ¡°Thank you....¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± Duyi waved his hands and turned to Mu Hua. ¡°Prime minister, is there anything you can do to help us? If by any chance we are caught in the prime minister¡¯s residence, it won¡¯t do you or us any good.¡±
¡°Hero Duyi, you can rest assured. This old man has a way to send you all out of the city. Go and return quickly. Please don¡¯t stay too long. I¡¯ll let people inform His Highness Longze. As soon as everyone is here, this old man will send you all out of the city.¡±
With the things being like this, Mu Hua could only do this.
If Taji Guli didn¡¯t act arbitrarily, there wouldn¡¯t be such a big mistake. However, the problem had already happened. He could only send Taji Guli and Duyi away from the city as soon as possible. In case the Eagle troop searched the prime minister¡¯s residence and found clues, then not only would they be finished, even the things he and Wanyan Hong had nned would be exposed. Then the gains do not make up for the losses.
The gains do not make up for the losses: more harm than good/ not be worth the effort
Duyi left the prime minister¡¯s residence and went to the west of the city as Taji Guli said. He had yet to arrive at the Hengtong Inn, but he could already hear the sound of fighting. Duyi was shocked and immediately rushed forward. As he turned to the corner of the street, he could see the bloody ground.
It was already dusk now. The red glow of the sunset spread over the earth and had dyed the ck armor of the Eagle troop warriors with ayer of orange radiance.
There were more than ten bodies lying on the ground. Among them was a bearded man. Duyi had seen him before. He was Taji Guli¡¯s left and right-hand and had always followed her. After seeing these dead bodies, Duyi sighed softly and turned around to leave.
As soon as Duyi arrived at the prime minister¡¯s residence, Taji Guli immediately asked him the whereabouts of herrades. Duyi was silent for a moment and shook his head. ¡°When I went, they were already dead. A total of eighteen people, eighteen dead bodies.¡±
¡°No....¡± Taji Guli held her head and shouted. Tears started to roll down from the corner of her eyes. ¡°Why was it like thus? They shouldn¡¯t have died! It¡¯s me, it¡¯s me who wanted to show off! It¡¯s me that harmed them!¡±
These eighteen people followed Taji Guli for over a decade. They had experienced big and small battles with her, and were very loyal to her. Now, it had turned into eighteen cold corpses. How could Taji Guli ept this?!
¡°It¡¯s all my fault! It¡¯s me who harmed them!¡± Taji Guli kept hitting herself on the head. Because of the severe movement, the wound of her bandaged left hand started to bleed again.
¡°Hey, have you had enough?!¡± Duyi grabbed Taji Guli¡¯s hand to prevent her from hurting herself again. However, Taji Guli kicked Duyi to the ground. ¡°I¡¯ll take revenge! I¡¯m going to find them to get revenge!¡±
Taji Guli supported herself to get up. She had just taken two steps but was roared by Duyi. ¡°Enough! Taji Guli, don¡¯t make a fuss, please! You have already harmed yourself and harmed your men! Do you want to kill us too?! Are you not done yet? This is not your desert! You are also not that noble princess of the Jurchen n anymore! Wake up!¡±
Duyi¡¯s words made Taji Guli froze there. Afterwards, she burst into tears. The image of Taji Guli had always been quite rigid. She wasn¡¯t like this even when her younger brother was killed and her n fell apart. Now, she was crying like that, made Duyi somewhat bewildered, as if he had done something evil.
¡°Instead of crying, wipe off your tears and run for your life. Afterwards,e back for revenge!¡±
Longze Jing Tian appeared in the room and looked at Taji Guli with a calm face. ¡°Didn¡¯t we say to act together?! Because you decided on your own, we were almost exposed. Please calm down next time and think clearly. Don¡¯t go harm others!¡±
¡°Your Highness, she already knows she¡¯s wrong. You don¡¯t have to say that.¡± This time Duyi helped Taji Guli speak in turn.
¡°Humph!¡± Longze Jing Tian humphed coldly and turned to Mu Hua. ¡°Thank you, prime minister, for your warning. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be standing here!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention it, Your Highness! By the way, everyone, it¡¯s gettingte. You all better follow me to get out of town!¡± Mu Hua took Longze Jing Tian, Duyi and Taji Guli to his study. He opened the secret door, stopped at a spot and then lifted open the nket on the ground. There revealed a locked wooden board.
¡°This is a secret passage that this old man had dug before, leading to the outside of the city. Now that Feng Cang has sealed off the city, you all can¡¯t get out. It¡¯s safest to leave from here!¡± As he spoke, Mu Hua had already opened the wooden board and walked down the secret passage first.
Longze Jing Tian brought two people with him, plus Duyi and Taji Guli. A total of five people followed Mu Hua and went into the underground passageway.
This passageway wasn¡¯t dug very high. You must walk inside by bending your back. If you weren¡¯t careful, you would hit your head. After walking through the passageway for a long time, they finally reached the other exit. To the surprise of Longze Jing Tian, this exit turned out to be an abandoned dry well.
After the others climbed up the fallen vines, Duyi squatted down in front of Taji Guli. ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll carry you!¡±
Taji Guli was a bit surprised and didn¡¯t say anything. She stepped forward to lie on the back of Duyi, and the two finally went out.
At this moment, the sky was already dark. Mu Hua cupped his fist towards Longze Jing Tian and the others. ¡°The recent circumstances are bad. Everyone, please stay away from trouble! My prime minister¡¯s residence will always wee you!¡±
¡°Thank you very much, prime minister!¡± Longze Jing Tian and the others cupped their fist to express their thanks. Everyone knew clearly that if it weren¡¯t for Mu Hua who had this underground passageway, Feng Cang might had already found them. These people at present wouldn¡¯t stand here safe and sound.
Inside the regent¡¯s pce, Feng Cang had a serious face. ¡°Eighteen people? No Taji Guli? Where would she go then?¡±
In one day, the Eagle troop had searched more than half of the capital. The only ones left were the houses of the high officials and nobles at the east of the city, and the Imperial Pce. Those eighteen people were obviously aplices of Taji Guli. But what surprised Feng Cang was that Taji Guli didn¡¯t go back. So where would she hide?
¡°Wangye, tomorrow is the turn of the eastern region and the Imperial Pce. Should we search or not? Forgive this subordinate¡¯s direct words. If someone in the court is really in collusion with Taji Guli, then it¡¯s still possible to hide a person. Even if we try to look, we may not find her.¡±
Feng Cang knew clearly that Nn Xin¡¯s words were reasonable. If he couldn¡¯t find her in themon people¡¯s homes, then Taji Guli was definitely in the official¡¯s home. But there were so many officials in the capital. It would be time-consuming to conduct inspections one by one, and there were also many family members and servants in the high officials and nobles¡¯ homes. It was originally a very easy thing to hide a person. This matter was really difficult to handle.
¡°Withdrawn the people. Return everything to normal tomorrow. Just check carefully all the people that go outside the city. Afterwards...let the people of Fo Sheng Men look for the whereabouts of Taji Guli. At the same time, look for Longze Jing Tian. I¡¯m worried that these two people will gang up together. At that time, it won¡¯t be a good thing.¡±
After these arrangements, Feng Cang went to Tingsong Building.
Although Feng Xiao experienced those things during the day, but he didn¡¯t seem to have been frightened at all. He had drunk his milk and entered the dreams with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s bad.
¡°Slept?¡± Feng Cang came to the bed and looked at Feng Xiao who was in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms.
¡°Hm!¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded and carefully put Feng Xiao in the bed.
¡°This brat didn¡¯t even cry today! I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s brave enough or what.¡± Mentioning his son, Feng Cang had a special feeling of proudness. He thought that Feng Xiao had performed well today. It was very unusual. He wasn¡¯t an ordinary child.
After seeing the proudness in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes, Feng Qi Qi chuckled. She put the curtains down and pulled Feng Cang to the side.
¡°Did you find her?¡±
¡°Only found her aplices but didn¡¯t find Taji Guli herself.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Feng Qi Qi frowned. ¡°Where did she hide then? Could it be that there is someone sheltering her? Who will it be?¡±
¡°Alright, Qing Qing. Leave this matter to me. Don¡¯t think so much! You must be frightened today! Let¡¯s take a rest earlier. This is a man¡¯s business. Let me solve it!¡±
Of course, Feng Qi Qi was happy that Feng Cang took the matters into his own hands. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Feng Qi Qi leaned into Feng Cang¡¯s embrace. ¡°Cang, when this matter is over. Shouldn¡¯t we let Ah Kang and Su Mei held their wedding? We mustn¡¯t dy them because of our affairs! After they get married, let¡¯s go to Nan Feng. What do you think?¡±
Feng Cang naturally fully supported the suggestion of Feng Qi Qi. He had always taken Wanyan Kang¡¯s marriage to heart. Originally, he intended to quickly let Wanyan Kang embrace the beauty. Now that Feng Qi Qi mentioned it, it was just what he thought too.
¡°I have someone looked for a date. The 18th of the second month is a good day! I also don¡¯t want Ah Kang to alwayse bother our two-person world. Let Su Mei go over to take care of him the sooner the better!¡±
1. Shizi: heir of the first-rank prince/ crown prince by the main wife
Chapter 187(Part 2) Wanyan Kang and Su Mei’s wedding
Chapter 187(Part 2) Wanyan Kang and Su Mei¡¯s wedding
At the same time in Xiaoyao¡¯s wangfu1, Wanyan Kang sneezed. He touched his nose after sneezing. He absolutely didn¡¯t know that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi had already decided his future for him.
Mu Hua originally thought that Feng Cang would definitely turn the capital upside down. He didn¡¯t expect that the next day everything had returned to normal. Except for the Eagle troops at the city gates checking the passing pedestrians, everything else vanished like smoke in thin air. It was as if yesterday¡¯s fierce search of the city was just ¡®a false rm¡¯.
The behavior of Feng Cang was even more confusing to Mu Hua. ording to Feng Cang¡¯s past personalities, he would never give up if he hadn¡¯t catch Taji Guli. Could it be that this man had changed his temper after marriage and had be gentle?
How could Mu Hua know that outside Yan capital, the people of Fo Sheng Men and Moyu had already put out an inescapable? The portraits of Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli were sent to every province and every county. Those people who left Yan capital lived a life of hiding and dodging every day. Whether it was from the court or the jianghu2, there were people looking for them.
An inescapable: a trap
Feng Cang used the ¡®beat the grass to scare the snake¡¯ method to deal with Taji Guli. Since they (FC) didn¡¯t know where they (TG) were, they (FC) simply created an anxious and desperate situation, which made these people (TG) unable to sleep calmly day and night. The soldiers of the imperial court were in the open, whereas the people of Fo Sheng Men and Moyu were undercover. There would be a day where they (TG) would reveal themselves. At that time, they (FC) needed only to catch everything in one.
To beat the grass to scare the snake: to act rashly and alert the enemy
To catch everything in one: to capture them all in one go
When Feng Qi Qi told Dongfang Lan to prepare the wedding of Wanyan Kang and Su Mei, this great empress dowager was very happy.
Dongfang Lan had seen Su Mei many times and liked this natural and poised girl very much. However, what made Dongfang Lan most pleased was the tall figure of Su Mei. In her words, Su Mei had an appearance of good breeding (can bear offspring).
When Dongfang Lan said this, Wanyan Kang and Su Mei were beside them. Wanyan Kang was smiling foolishly the whole time, while Su Mei was blushing.
¡°Girl, quickly join the household! After joining the household, you can call me grandmother!¡± Dongfang Lan held Su Mei¡¯s hand. The more she saw Su Mei, the more she liked her. In the end, she simply took off a bunch of gold bracelets from her hand and put them on Su Mei.
¡°Great empress dowager, this can¡¯t be done....¡±
Su Mei wanted to refuse but was stopped by Wanyan Kang. ¡°If imperial grandmother gave them to you, just ept it! This is a gift! After epting this gift, you are the daughter-inw of my Wanyan¡¯s family!¡±
For the first time, Su Mei didn¡¯t bicker with Wanyan Kang. Instead, she blushed and showed the loveliness of a young girl.
Time passed quick and the 18th of the second month arrived quickly. Early in the morning, Su Mei was woken up. Feng Qi Qi personally did the makeup of Su Mei, while Su Yue tied up her hair. The phoenix cor with the wedding gown and jewelry had already been prepared by Feng Qi Qi. After being tortured for a long time, Su Mei had finally be a bride.
¡°Really beautiful!¡± After Feng Qi Qi put the finishing touches to Su Mei¡¯s eyebrow, she put down the eyebrow pencil.
¡°Our Su Mei is the most beautiful bride of the world today!¡±
¡°Miss....¡± Su Mei stood up and knelt in front of Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi was taken aback for a moment by her (SM) sudden action. She then quickly helped Su Mei up but was rejected by Su Mei. ¡°Miss, Su Mei can exist today is inevitably because of you! Su Mei is very grateful to you!¡±
After saying that, Su Mei kowtowed three times to Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Su Mei thanks Miss!¡±
¡°Su Mei, get up quickly!¡±
There were also some moist in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes. Last time, when Su Yue got married, Feng Qi Qi wasn¡¯t so sad. This was because Nn Xin was a subordinate of Feng Cang, so Su Yue was still married into the wangfu. However, Su Mei was different. She was now getting married off and, in the future, she also couldn¡¯t meet her every day.
¡°Don¡¯t cry! The bride can¡¯t cry!¡± Feng Qi Qi carefully wiped the tears from the corner of Su Mei¡¯s eyes and reapplied her makeup. ¡°Ah Kang is a good man and will certainly love you dearly! Moreover, we live so close to each other. You can stille back often and we three can still meet up frequently. It¡¯s not like we¡¯ll be apart and will never see each other again! Don¡¯t cry, dear!¡±
While the three master-servant were talking, the pnquin to escort the bride had already arrived at the regent¡¯s pce. Wanyan Kang rode on the tall horse and was dressed up in all red. He looked full of joy and handsome.
¡°The bridegroom hase to pick up the bride!¡± Along with the arrival of the voice, Feng Qi Qi quickly put the red veil on Su Mei. Su Yue also stuffed a red and big apple in the hands of Su Mei. ¡°Hold the apple well. Don¡¯t lose it!
Apple symbolizes peace in China. The word for apple in Chinese is ping which is a homonym to peace.
The matron of honor helped Su Mei out of the room. Then they walked all the way through the wangfu and finally got to the entrance.
After seeing Su Meie out, Wanyan Kang immediately dismounted. He wanted to go support her but was stopped by Feng Qi. ¡°Wangye3, it isn¡¯t your turn yet! Wait till you get to Xiaoyao¡¯s wangfu, then you can be more active!¡±
Feng Qi¡¯s words made everyoneugh. Wanyan Kang also got a big red face and could only look at Su Mei entering the pnquin.
After the bright red curtain of the pnquin was put down, only then did Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart settled down.
¡°Raise the pnquin!¡±
A grandiose team of bride¡¯s escort moved towards Xiaoyao¡¯s wangfu. Su Mei who was in the pnquin clenched the apple tightly, and her heart jumped like the jolt of the pnquin, up and down.
She never thought that she would one day marry the person who loved her, and never even thought she would marry a country¡¯s wangye. Things that she had never dared to think about, had now be a reality. Her beloved man was now out there. They are going to her new home. All these things made Su Mei feel very happy.
In order to wee the new mistress, Xiaoyao¡¯s wangfu had been decorated anew. Wanyan Jie and Dongfang Lan had already arrived here. Wanyan Jie was sitting upright on the chair. Although his face was pretending to be calm, the excitement in his eyes couldn¡¯t hide his childish heart.
This was the first time that Wanyan Jie had attended a wedding ceremony, and he was also to officiate the wedding of Wanyan Kang. It made him feel fresh and very happy.
¡°Emperor, great empress dowager, wangye has brought wangfei4 over!¡± Wanyan Kang just arrived at wangfu, there was already someone notifying them.
¡°Great-grandmother, zhen5 wants to go and see!¡± As soon as he heard this, Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t sit still. He was eager to know how the weing of the bride looked like. He was very curious and wanted to go ahead to see.
After seeing Wanyan Jie¡¯s excited appearance, Dongfang Lan took his hand and patted it gently. ¡°Emperor, you are the marriage officiant today and a marriage officiant shouldn¡¯t walk around!¡±
¡°Oh....¡± Wanyan Jie was a bit disappointed. He couldn¡¯t go out, so he could only stretch his head and kept his eyes on the outside. He wanted to see Wanyan Kang and Su Mei sooner.
After waiting for a while, Wanyan Kang finally appeared in front of the crowd. He led the red satin that connected him to Su Mei, while the matron of honor carefully supported Su Mei. The two people came in one after another.
¡°The first bow to heaven and earth! The second to the great empress dowager and the emperor! Thest for the husband and wife! Ceremonypleted! Bring them to the bridal chamber!¡±
After Su Mei was sent to the bridal chamber, she finally woke up from the dream. She got married! She had be the bride of Wanyan Kang! Su Mei who was holding the apple, was somewhat nervous. From time to time, there was someughter from outside, and Su Mei could feel that there were several maids in the room. Fortunately, the phoenix cor on her head was modified by Feng Qi Qi. It wasn¡¯t so heavy, otherwise, she would have a sore neck and headache after waiting for so long.
After waiting for a long time, so long that Su Mei didn¡¯t know what time it was. Only then a voice came over. ¡°Wangye hase!¡±
Wanyan Kang came?! Su Mei¡¯s mood was somewhatplicated. The extreme excitement was essential, but apart from her happiness, there was still some nervousness. At this moment, Su Mei felt a thinyer of sweat in her hands. Due to her head being covered by a red veil, she couldn¡¯t see the outside. She could only lower her head and look at her fair-skinned finger on the apple.
¡°Congrattions wangye! Congrattions wangfei!¡±
¡°Hm! You all... withdrawn!¡± Wanyan Kang waved his hands to let everyone go. After only he and Su Mei were left in the room, Wanyan Kang took a deep breath and went to Su Mei.
Su Mei knew that Wanyan Kang hade. At this moment, her heart jumped so hard until the moment Wanyan Kang¡¯s shoes appeared before her. Su Mei¡¯s heart almost stopped beating.
Time was so static, and the surrounding was so quiet. So quiet that Su Mei could hear her own heartbeat and Wanyan Kang¡¯s breathing from afar.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes slowly filled with love and looked at Su Mei under the red veil with deep love. After a long time, he uttered a long sigh. ¡°Little Mei er6, I have finally taken you as my wife!¡±
ustomed to Wanyan Kang mischievously face, Su Mei didn¡¯t know that he also had such a calm and deep side. Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand reached out and ced Su Mei small hands on his own palm. Heughed softly after he felt the sweatiness of Su Mei¡¯s hands.
¡°Little Mei er, you are nervous!¡±
Thisughter made Su Mei very embarrassed. She wanted to pull out her hands, but it was tightly held by Wanyan Kang.
¡°Let it go!¡± Su Mei scolded softly.
¡°No! Not going to let go. I¡¯ll never let go of it!¡±
Wanyan Kang grabbed Su Mei¡¯s hand. Then he searched his body blindly for a while and pulled out a golden box. Didn¡¯t wait for Su Mei to understand, Wanyan Kang had already knelt down in front of her. ¡°Su Mei, are you willing to marry me?¡±
The appearance of Wanyan Kang made Su Mei think of the situation when Feng Cang proposed to Feng Qi Qi. She once said to Wanyan Kang that she was very envious of Feng Qi Qi! It was said that the man has gold under his knees, but Feng Cang was willing to kneel for love, for his beloved woman. This was really not easy to do. She (SM) didn¡¯t expect he (WK) took her unintentional words to heart.
The man has gold under his knees: a man should have dignity and not grovel or bow down. In ancient times, men would only bow to their ancestors and someone of a higher rank. Kneeling to anyone other than that, especially kneeling towards women was a shameful thing.
Wanyan Kang opened the box with a sapphire ring inside. Only by looking at the style, Su Mei knew that this was designed by Feng Qi Qi. Could it be that Feng Qi Qi also participated in this matter? When she thought of the good things that Feng Qi Qi did to her, Su Mei¡¯s eyes became moist.
¡°Su Mei, would you like to marry me?¡± After seeing Su Mei didn¡¯t utter a word, Wanyan Kang was somewhat anxious and moved the box closer to her. ¡°Are you willing or not?¡±
One sentence, Wanyan Kang repeated it three times. This made Su Mei couldn¡¯t help but uttered a ¡®fool¡¯ in her heart. She had already sat in the pnquin and did the wedding ritual with him. How could he still say such foolish things?!
Su Mei deliberately made things difficult for Wanyan Kang. Anyway, she had a veil covering her head now. Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t see her expression and didn¡¯t know that she was doing it intentionally.
The beauty behind the red veil didn¡¯t say a word made Wanyan Kangpletely anxious. He simply picked up the ring and directly put it on Su Mei¡¯s ring finger.
¡°Aiya, you¡¯re using force!¡± Su Mei was happy in her heart, but her mouth was shouting.
¡°Humph, I don¡¯t care so much! You got into my household, so you¡¯re mine! Even if you don¡¯t ept it, you have to ept it. You ept it, then that¡¯s the best!¡± Wanyan Kang stood up and patted off the dust on his knees. He then sat next to Su Mei, clutching her left hand with the ring and smiled foolishly.
¡°You rascal....¡± Su Mei quietly sighed.
¡°Yes. I¡¯m a rascal. I¡¯m set on you! Don¡¯t even think of dumping me, I¡¯ll keep bothering you!¡±
Don¡¯t know why, but only after Su Mei put on the ring and didn¡¯t refuse, was Wanyan Kang able to have a peace of mind. It felt really good to lean so close to Su Mei and held her hand tightly! He hadn¡¯t felt this happiness for a long time!
¡°Hey....¡±
After waiting for a long time, Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t make a sound. Su Mei couldn¡¯t help but use her elbow to nudge him.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Mei¡¯s ¡®bump¡¯ caused Wanyan Kang to wake up from his dream.
¡°Quickly take off the red veil for me! You want me to wait until when?!¡±
Su Mei¡¯s shouting made Wanyan Kang jump up. Only now did he realize that he hadn¡¯t lifted the veil. He hurriedly lifted open the bridal veil and then that pretty face of Su Mei appeared in front of Wanyan Kang.
¡°Really beautiful....¡± Wanyan Kang praised her from the bottom of his heart. His eyes fixed on Su Mei, and the burning passion in his eyes, made Su Mei felt a burst of heat.

Chapter 188 Su Mei’s wedding night
Chapter 188 Su Mei¡¯s wedding night
Su Mei was a bit ufortable at being stared at like this by Wanyan Kang. She stood up and left Wanyan Kang¡¯s sight. She took down the phoenix cor and hairpins from her head and loosened her hair. Su Mei rubbed her tummy and looked pitifully at Wanyan Kang. ¡°I¡¯m hungry!¡±
A ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡± made Wanyan Kang remember that Su Mei hadn¡¯t eaten ever since she gotten on the pnquin. She must certainly be very hungry. Wanyan Kang immediately called people to bring in hot meals. ¡°Eat slowly!¡±
Didn¡¯t know if Wanyan Kang was very excited or very nervous, he actually had forgotten about the most important step: sharing the nuptial cup of wine. Su Mei twitched her mouth and refused to pick up the chopsticks, making Wanyan Kang puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is it that you don¡¯t like these foods? Do you want me to let people prepare another meal?¡±
Seeing that Wanyan Kang still didn¡¯t understand, Su Mei pointed at the nuptial wine with her finger. The moment Wanyan Kang looked, he pped his forehead. ¡°Aiya, I forgot! I¡¯m really too muddle-headed!¡±
Wanyan Kang personally poured two cups of wine. He gave one to Su Mei. He took the other one.
¡°Little Mei er[Er: term of endearment], after drinking the nuptial cup of wine, we will be husband and wife! To be able to have you is my blessing!¡±
Two huge dragon-phoenix candles were burning greatly. The orange light ted Su Mei with a mysterious veil. Wanyan Kang¡¯s throat tightened. He put his arm around Su Mei¡¯s and drank the marital wine with her. The burning wine crawled in Wanyan Kang¡¯s throat and blurred his eyes.
Su Mei was really hungry. Although, just now, the matron of honor also gave her some dessert, but she didn¡¯t have dinner. How could snacks fill her?! She ignored Wanyan Kang¡¯s burning eyes, Su Mei picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
Probably, she had gone hungry for a long time, so Su Mei ate very well. Just looking at Su Mei eat, Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart felt like it had eaten honey. His right hand supported his chin and looked with a satisfied look at Su Mei. Her small cheeks went up and down. Really so cute.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes full of desire made Su Mei¡¯s body numb. ¡°Are you not hungry? Do you want to eat some?¡±
¡°No! I¡¯m full just by looking at you...¡±
The sweet words made Su Mei blush. She spouted out the rice in her mouth. They fell on Wanyan Kang¡¯s face like little stars. Su Mei was embarrassed. She quickly reached out to wipe Wanyan Kang¡¯s face. ¡°Sorry, I was excited...¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t matter. Eat slowly!¡± Now, Wanyan Kang just kept on a smile that was able to make people feel very sweet. After a whole meal, Su Mei suspected if there would be a problem with Wanyan Kang¡¯s smile.
Finally, it was time for the most important thing. Although, Su Mei was a hot-tempered girl, but as a girl, she couldn¡¯t help but be nervous at the wedding night.
Avoiding Wanyan Kang¡¯s hot gaze, Su Mei hid in the bathtub. ¡°Don¡¯te in, did you hear?¡±
¡°I heard! I¡¯m also going to take a bath!¡± Knowing that Su Mei was shy, Wanyan Kang was very happy. He smelled his body. It was full of the smell of alcohol. He let people prepare the water and alsofortably soaked himself in the tub.
There was only a wall between the two. Su Mei could clearly hear Wanyan Kang sing at the other side. There was also the sound of water hitting him.
While Wanyan Kang was making noise, he also listened to the movements of Su Mei¡¯s side.
Contrary to him, that side was quiet. There was only a slight noise. What was Su Mei doing? Wanyan Kang was curious. In his head emerged the image of a beauty emerging from the bathtub. While thinking, Wanyan Kang felt something hot on his nose. When he touched, it was actually two lines of hot nose-blood.
Wanyan Kang¡¯s face burned badly. He quickly dived his head into the tub. He didn¡¯t expect that the pressure was too much, his foot slipped. His whole body fell. He choked and drank a few mouthfuls of water. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡±
The soundsing from the other side surprised Su Mei. Hearing that the sound wasn¡¯t right, Su Mei stood up. She didn¡¯t had time to wipe her body, directly pulled a dress and put it on. Then, she rushed to Wanyan Kang¡¯s side.
¡°Ah Kang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Su Mei was surprised that she didn¡¯t see Wanyan Kang. She quickly walked to the tub. She saw that Wanyan Kang was in the water. There were traces of blood in the water. Su Mei was very surprised. She quickly reached out to pull Wanyan Kang.
¡°Ah Kang, what¡¯s the matter? What had happened?¡±
Wanyan Kang was choking on water. When he got up, the water sttered all on Su Mei.
At this time, Su Mei was wholeheartedly worried about Wanyan Kang¡¯s safety. How would she know that the tulle nightdress Feng Qi Qi specially prepared for her was nowpletely pasted on her body because of the water? The exquisite figure made more blood go to Wanyan Kang¡¯s head.
¡°Is it serious? What had happened?¡± Seeing that there was blood under Wanyan Kang¡¯s nose, Su Mei quickly wiped it for him. When she reached out, she hadn¡¯t touched Wanyan Kang¡¯s face yet, her hand was grabbed by him.
¡°Ah Kang...¡± Su Mei followed Wanyan Kang¡¯s gaze and looked at her body. When she saw the graceful body wrapped in red muslin, Su Mei almost screamed.
¡®Putong...¡¯ Wanyan Kang pulled Su Mei iton the big bathtub. He wiped the blood under his nose and his eyes looked full of desire at Su Mei. ¡°Little Mei er, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±
Su Mei had never encountered such a thing. The original warm water became hot with her joining in.
Wanyan Kang waspletely naked. His strong arms tightly held Su Mei¡¯s thin waist to keep her close to him and forbidding her from escaping.
Could it be that her wedding night would be held here? Feeling Wanyan Kang¡¯s firmness and hotness, Su Mei¡¯s blood rushed to her face. She wasn¡¯t a shy woman, but she had never expected that her career of a woman would begin in a tub. It was really too shameful.
¡°Little Mei er, I¡¯m suffering from excessive internal heat! Help me lessen the heat, alright?¡±
Although, usually Wanyan Kang was all smiles and didn¡¯t have any seriousness in him, but it was very rare for him to be so passionate and enthusiastic.
Su Mei felt that the room was very hot. The water was also very hot. Even Wanyan Kang¡¯s skin that was close to her was boiling. There was a moment that Su Mei almost forgot who she was and where she was. In her eyes, there was only Wanyan Kang and she could only see Wanyan Kang.
¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you consented. Then, I will begin tasting!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s breathing was a bit quick. He tried to adjust his breathing and let himself calm down.
He was a bit ashamed. Although he was born in the imperial family and was extremely noble, but he didn¡¯t have any women even at this age. Not to mention, cefei1, concubines etc. Presumably people with simrities flock to each other. After spending much time with Feng Cang, Wanyan Kang also had a kind of phobia towards women. If he didn¡¯t love her, he wouldn¡¯t touch her.
Those imperial brothers of his didn¡¯te of age yet, when they had countless of women around them. After bing an adult, the number of women around them were uncountable. Only a prince like him was still persisting in this area. Although, before his mother consort Lin Ke Xin once wanted to let this son ¡®start to understand things¡¯, so, she stuffed a few women at him, but he got rid of time with all kinds of excuses.
Now, Wanyan Kang was very grateful for his insistence. It was precisely because of this that he could wait for the woman he loved the most in this life...Su Mei.
The temperature gradually rose. Wanyan Kang¡¯s breathing became heavy. His hands held Su Mei¡¯s waist. His face got closer to hers. Little by little, closer and closer. Su Mei seemed to understand what Wanyan Kang wanted to do. She obediently closed her eyes.
Just when Su Mei thought that Wanyan Kang would kiss her lips, a warmth came from her ear. It turned out that his first kiss fell on her ear...
¡°Little Mei er, I love you...¡±
¡°Little Mei er, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡±
¡°Ah Kang, we¡¯re husband and wife. I only have one request! No matter what kind of experiences you had in the past, no matter how many women you had had in the past, from now on, you can only have me!¡±
In the misty water, Su Mei¡¯s exquisite and charming features became more charming. Those words came from her red lips made them look more tempting.
Su Mei put forward such a request when the wedding night was about to begin let Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t help but bit her nose. ¡°Little girl, what are you thinking about?! I didn¡¯t have anyone in the past. From now on, I will only have you. In theter life, I will only have you! I promise...¡±
Wanyan Kang wanted to raise his hand to promise but was stopped by Su Mei. ¡°I believe you...¡±
Si Mei trusted Wanyan Kang sincerely. Although, usually this person wasn¡¯t serious enough, but he was someone who would keep his words.
¡°Little Mei er...¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s voice was a bit hoarse. He had endured for so long. When the time came, this woman still had the mind to talk about something else. This really and simply made Wanyan Kang unable to it endure anymore. ¡°Little Mei er, I want you...¡±
¡°Ah Kang...¡±
¡°Call me Kang...¡±
The hot water wrapped the lovers. Inside the misty fog, these two lovers finally became one...
Didn¡¯t know how much time had passed. When Su Mei woke up, she discovered that she wasying on a bed. An arm was on her waist. From her ears came the sound of Wanyan Kang¡¯s breathing. Only now did Su Mei remember that this was her wedding night.
She wanted to move but discovered that she only moved slightly when her body felt a soreness that made her feel at loss. Although, Wanyan Kang had been very gentle, but this strong and young man still couldn¡¯t hold back in the end.
¡°Scoundrel!¡± Su Mei moved carefully. She finally turned and looked at the sleeping Wanyan Kang. He sleptfortable at the moment while she felt like she was falling apart. This guy was simply a gluttonous cat that couldn¡¯t get enough. Untilte in the night did he release her.
However, this kind of soreness filled Su Mei¡¯s heart. She had never tasted this kind of happiness. From now on, she has a lover, has a husband. She is no longer alone.
Su Mei held Wanyan Kang¡¯s arm and closed her eyes. Her mouth revealed a sweet smile.
Su Mei slept till the sun was very high before she woke up. Wanyan Kang was already not at her side. It was bright outside the window. It seemed that today was a sunny day.
¡°Wangfei2 is awake? This ve will help you wash your face and rinse the mouth!¡± Hearing the motion inside the room, the maid who stood outside immediately went to prepare warm water and helped Su Mei take a bath. She also helped Su Mei dress into a red dress of a wangfei . Only after all of these were done did Su Mei remember to ask about Wanyan Kang. ¡°Where¡¯s wangye3?¡±
¡°Wangye is in the study. He said that wangfei worked hard and to let this ve not bother wangfei...¡±
Hearing this, Su Mei¡¯s ears got red. This Wanyan Kang could really say anything!
¡°Little Mei er, you woke up? Why didn¡¯t you sleep a bit more?!¡± After hearing that Su Mei woke up, Wanyan Kang immediately rushed over. He didn¡¯t care that there were others around and took Su Mei¡¯s hand.
¡°You, ah, why didn¡¯t you wake me?! Didn¡¯t we have to go pay our respect to the grand empress dowager and emperor today?! It¡¯s already sote. If we go to the pce now, we will certainly beughed at...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry! Imperial grandmother had already sent someone to give us a holiday. We don¡¯t have to go to the pce. Also, little Mei er, why are you calling imperial grandmother grand empress dowager?! You¡¯re now my wife. You should call her grandmother like me!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®you¡¯re now my wife¡¯ let a warmth enter Su Mei¡¯s heart. That¡¯s right. He¡¯s her husband. He¡¯s her family in this world! This feeling was really good!
Originally, Su Mei wanted to go to the regent¡¯s pce to visit Feng Qi Qi. She didn¡¯t expect that Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang were also very ¡®understanding¡¯. They sent someone over to let them have the world of two people.
¡°Cousin brother and cousin-inw are very considerate, ah!¡± When Wanyan Kang¡¯s words reached Su Mei¡¯s ear, Su Mei reached out and pinched Wanyan Kang¡¯s waist, making Wanyan Kang shout from pain.
¡°Beloved consort, do you want to murder me, ah?!¡± Wanyan Kang grimaced in pain and made strange expressions. The maids covered their mouths andughed.
¡°You all, retreat first. I¡¯ve something to say to wangye!¡±
After all the maids left and only Su Mei and Wanyan Kang were left, Su Mei reached out and grabbed Wanyan Kang¡¯s ear. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that there were others around?! You say that, is it that you want people tough at me?!¡±
¡°Hurt, hurt, hurt! Little Mei er, have mercy, ah!¡± Wanyan Kang began to scream. ¡°Wasn¡¯t I only not aware that there were others around?!¡±
¡°Withdraw all these people. I don¡¯t need anyone to serve me!¡±
¡°Alright, alight, alight! I won¡¯t let anyone serve! We eat off our own strength!¡±
Su Mei only let go after receiving Wanyan Kang¡¯s assent. Wanyan Kang rubbed his ear and pouted as if he had suffered much grievances. ¡°Little Mei er, you¡¯re so heartless! I¡¯m a bit sceptical whether that gentle woman ofst night was you! Why are you so different during the day and night...?¡±
¡°Still talking?!¡± Seeing that Wanyan Kang mentioned the matter ofst night, Su Mei¡¯s face was tainted with a pinkish color. ¡°If you continue to talk, I¡¯ll ignore you!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, alright. I won¡¯t talk anymore!¡±
Wanyan Kang knew that Su Mei was shy. New brides were always like this. He was very happy to see a different side of Su Mei. And, such a Su Mei only bloomed for him.
After three days, Su Mei went ¡®back home¡¯ with Wanyan Kang. The home was naturally referring to the regent¡¯s pce. Hearing that Su Mei had returned, Feng Qi Qi specifically went to the door to meet her.
¡°Miss!¡± The moment she went down the carriage and saw Feng Qi Qi, Su Mei quickly went forward. She was just about to bow when she was stopped by Feng Qi Qi. ¡°You¡¯re now my sister-inw.¡±
¡°No, miss is forever miss!¡± Su Mei greeted Feng Qi Qi respectfully. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t stop this. He knew about Su Mei and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s rtionship. He also knew that without Feng Qi Qi, there wouldn¡¯t be the Su Mei of today and it would be impossible for him to have a happy marriage.
¡°Alright! Quickly get up! Let¡¯s go inside!¡±
After entering the pce, Su Mei was pulled inside Tingsong building by Feng Qi Qi and Su Yue. Wanyan Kang followed Feng Cang to the study.
Once she entered Tingsong building, Su Mei eagerly wanted to go see Feng Xiao. She really missed this little shizi4 after not seeing hm for a few days. These past days, she was the one who personally had taken care of Feng Xiao. She was really not used to being separated for three days from him.
¡°Miss, little shizi grew again!¡± Su Mei teased Feng Xiao. Her appearance made Feng Qi Qi and Su Yu exchange a smile. ¡°Su Mei, if you like children, quickly give birth to one! You and ah Kang¡¯s child would certainly be very beautiful!¡±
Su Yue¡¯s words made Su Mei blush. ¡°You should be the one to give birth first, ah!¡±
Su Yue onlyughed but didn¡¯t answer Su Mei. Feng Qi Qi took Su Yue¡¯ hand and helped her say it. ¡°Su Mei, you don¡¯t know. Our Su Yue is already a month pregnant!¡±
¡°What?¡± After hearing this news, Su Mei happily stepped forward and hugged Su Yue. ¡°Su Yue, congrattions! So great!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Su Yue blushed. Her small hand was on her lower abdomen. Her face showed sweetness and happiness. Recently, she was busy looking after Feng Qi Qi. Her period hadn¡¯te for a long time. Yesterday, Feng Qi Qi checked for her and discovered that she was pregnant. After knowing this news, Nn Xin literally carried Su Yue and run severalps. Only when Su Yue said that she was dizzy did Nn Xin put her down.
Now that Su Yue was pregnant, Su Mei and Feng Qi Qi were happy for her. The three of them had been together the longest. They were like sisters. Now, each one of them had found their own happiness. Su Yue was also pregnant. This was simply the best news for everyone.
Inside the study, after hearing that Su Yue was pregnant, Wanyan Kang quickly congratted Nn Xin.
Although, the child in Su Yue¡¯s belly was only one month, but Nn Xin, this prospective father could already imagine what his child would look like. Recently, after seeing Feng Xiao so much, Nn Xin really wished that he could also have such a well-behaved child. He didn¡¯t expect that he only thought about it, heavens really gave them one. This was really a gift from heaven.
Because Su Yue was pregnant and Su Mei just married, Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang who originally nned to go to Nan Feng, dyed the time. Su Mei and Su Yue always had a good rtionship with Feng Qi Qi. If Feng Qi Qi went to Nan Feng, these two people would certainly follow. However, now Su Mei was newly married and Su Yue was pregnant. The two of them couldn¡¯t go.
Although, Feng Qi Qi wanted to leave Su Mei and Su Yue in the capital, but they firmly refused to agree. Su Yue also said if miss left them and go to Nan Feng alone, she would certainly follow even with her pregnancy.
1. Cefei: side consorts, second ranked wife of the prince of first rank
2. Wangfei: main conosrt of the prince of first rank
3. Wangye/wang: the prince of first rank
4. Shizi: heir of the first-rank/prince by the main wife

Chapter 189 The crisis of selecting consort (1)
Fortunately, Gu Yun Wan was at the wangfu1. After she examined Feng Xiao, she said that everything was fine with Feng Xiao. The child gu was like his fingers and toes and became one with him. She had never seen such a situation. However, ording to the current situation, nothing will go wrong with Feng Xiao¡¯s body for the moment. However, going as soon as possible to Nan Feng is always good.
Although, Su Yue couldn¡¯t bear to leave Feng Qi Qi, but now this matter concerned the health of Feng Xiao, so, Su Yue gave up her insistence. Su Yue couldn¡¯t go. Su Mei insisted on following Feng Qi Qi. Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t have a way and could only follow his wife. In the end, it was determined that Feng Cang¡¯s couple, Wanyan Kang¡¯s couple, Jin Mo and Gu Yun Wan, these six people would go to Nan Feng.
¡°Miss, without me serving at your side, you need to take care of yourself! You must pay attention to your safety!¡± Before leaving, Su Yue held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand and kept crying. If she wasn¡¯t pregnant, she would definitely stay at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. These past few years, Su Yue and Su Mei had never left Feng Qi Qi. Now, Feng Qi Qi was going to Nan Feng, how could Su Yue not worry?
¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯m not a kid!¡±
Feng Qi Qi knew that although they were master and servants, but in fact, Su Mei and Su Yue saw her as their little sister. ¡°Su Yue, you need to take care of yourself! You¡¯re pregnant. You need o nourish and take care of the baby ording to the ¡®pregnant women¡¯s code¡¯ I gave you. You are now someone who is going to have a baby, you must pay more attention!¡±
Even when Feng Qi Qi got on the carriage, Su Yue still waved at her.
Not soon after, the news that Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang left the capital was reported to Mu Hua. Mu Hua rushed to tell this good news to Wanyan Hong.
¡°Your Highness, the opportunity hade!¡±
¡°Haha...¡± The imprisoned Wanyan Hong didn¡¯t change much. He only got a bit chubbier. Because he didn¡¯t get enough sun, his skin was slightly pale, making the aquiline nose appear more prominent which looked more sinister and harsh.
¡°Better to wait for Feng Cang and the others to arrive at Nan Feng before making ns! Remember to keep in touch with Longze Jing Tian. As long as the matter of Feng Cang is dealt with we can put (me) this thing on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s head. Feng Xie simply couldn¡¯t do anything without Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang here. You, go be more social with people. The grand empress dowager is only an old woman. She is all washed up!¡±
Wanyan Hong smiled insidiously as if the world was already in his hands. After experiencing the matter of Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Hong realized very well that only when the power is in his hands would he be able to rest in peace. What does emperor father matter? What does a son matter? A biological son was not better than the power in his own hands.
During this period of imprisonment, Wanyan Hong¡¯s mentality changed greatly.
Although, no one deducted anything from his life, but it couldn¡¯t bepared to the degree of squandering when he lived in the East Pce. His life was almost hundred thousand times worse. Especially, after being imprisoned, he didn¡¯t have freedom. He could only raise his head and look at the sky. Wanyan Hong couldn¡¯t ept this. It also made him see many things clearly. For example, power. His father had it. His son has it. He didn¡¯t have it. That is uneptable!
So, no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t give up on the treasured power! Only when he held the power could he be the emperor of the world; could he have endless freedom and could do anything he wants without restriction.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t know any of these things about Wanyan Hong. After having Feng Qi Qi and Feng Xiao, Feng Cang curbed his radiance. He just wanted to spend his days for his wife and child.
Although, this time they went to the south to cure the gu for Feng Xiao, but for this group of people, it was a ¡®multinational journey¡¯. Wanyan Kang and Su Mei also took this trip as their honeymoon. The whole trip, this newly-married couple liked everything they saw and was happy with everything they saw. It was as if they came to have fun.
Everyone was in a good mood. Feng Qi Qi was also in a good mood. Originally, she was worried that Feng Xiao would be ufortable because the distance was so far. She didn¡¯t expect that this child was very well-behaved. Everyday, he would drink milk and sleep. Sometimes, he would look with a confused gaze at the scenery outside. He didn¡¯t cry like other children.
The only change was Feng Xiao¡¯s attitude towards Feng Cang. Before, if Feng Cang touched him, he would cry. Even if Feng Cang was near Feng Qi Qi, Feng Xiao would cry without stopping. Since the one-month banquet, Feng Xiao¡¯s ¡®hostility¡¯ towards Feng Cang was not as obvious as before. asionally, he smiled at Feng Cang. After, he also didn¡¯t reject Feng Cang from hugging him.
This matter puzzled Feng Cang very much. Could it be that his son had begin to like this father? In any case, Feng Xiao¡¯s change of attitude made Feng Cang very happy. At the beginning, he had been made fun of by Wanyan Kang for a long time. He (WK) said that Xiao er2 didn¡¯t like this father. Now, it was the turn for the father and son to be affectionate and the turn for Wanyan Kang to envy Feng Cang.
The further to the south, the warmer the weather got. Unlike the desteness of Bei Zhou, Nan Feng was full of mountains and rivers and the scenery was full of beautiful purples and brilliant reds. Gu Yun Wan was very happy after having entered Nan Feng. The happiness of returning to the hometown was something no one else could understand.
¡°Look, this is Qingjiang river. This riveres from our hill vige¡¯s Qingliang mountain! As soon as we reach the source, we will be at our Qiang tribe¡¯s hill vige!¡± Gu Yun Wan sat in the carriage and introduced to Feng Qi Qi and Su Mei. All the way, she told Feng Qi Qi a lot of stories about the Qiang tribe. Especially when ites to the Qiang tribe¡¯s hill vige made of bamboo cottages, Gu Yun Wan was very excited.
¡°Little Wan likes the hill vige a lot!¡±
¡°Of course! I grew up in the hill vige. My mother died early. My father had to manage the hill vige and also be a father and mother to take care of me. The whole vige bears the good memories of my childhood! If I could, I¡¯m willing to live in our Qiang tribe¡¯s vige forever! Like my father and mother!¡±
Gu Yun Wan had a pair of beautiful eyes. Although, they were not big, but they were full of emotions and full of energy. Just looking at Gu Yun Wan¡¯s appearance, Feng Qi Qi could imagine what kind of person her father Gu De was.
¡°Qi Qi, don¡¯t worry! My father is a very good person! Seeing that little shizi3 is so cute, he would certainly help!¡±
Gu Yun Wan knew what Feng Qi Qi was worried about. Staying at the regent¡¯s pce for so long, Gu Yun Wan and Feng Qi Qi had be good friends that talked about everything with each other.
She admired Feng Qi Qi and felt that Feng Qi Qi was a woman amongst woman. She (FQQ) had the tenderness and virtuousness that a woman should have. Obviously, she had a good appearance and a good background, but she wasn¡¯t a bit arrogant. What let Gu Yun Wan admire her the most was that this little woman was never weak. When protecting her husband and child, she showed a strong power that let people couldn¡¯t help but admire.
Gu Yun Wan secretly wrote a letter to Gu De about Feng Qi Qi¡¯s matter. She also said a lot of good things about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi in the letter. However, Gu Yun Wan knew the rules of the Qiang tribe. If they really wanted to cure the gu, even if Feng Cang was Bei Zhou¡¯s regent, he must pass three tests.
Gu Yun Wan had once mentioned these three tests to Feng Qi Qi. Mount the mountains of daggers, go through the sea of mes and enter the dragon pool. Although, these three tests sounded simple, but the degree of difficulty was quite hard.
The Qiang tribe had always worshipped warriors. There were very few of their tribe that could pass these three tests. Even thinking about that picture would make people shudder let alone go try it.
Fortunately, Gu Yun Wan had told Feng Cang and the others in advance. Feng Qi Qi was also mentally prepared. So, all this way, Feng Qi Qi had been looking for ways to break the three tests.
Especially, the third test: enter the dragon pool and look for the millennium sturgeon. This was the most vexing problem. No one knew how deep the dragon pool was. Ever since Qiang tribe was recorded in the history till now, there had only been a handful of ¡®heroes¡¯ who had been able to capture the millennium sturgeon.
Regarding the three tests of the Qiang tribe, Feng Cang only smiled after hearing about them.
How hard could it be? Would it be harder than those years where he suffered the darkness and coldness alone? Now, he already got the person he loves, also got their little world and their cute child. With these happiness, would he still be afraid of those?!
Feng Cang¡¯s group marched into Nan Feng. Inside Nan Feng¡¯s capital, Ming Yue Cheng was badly burned about the head about the selection of consorts.
¡°Your Majesty, these are the information about all the beautiful girls sent from all the counties. They are all daughters of good families.¡± Gu De let people bring in big stacks of portraits of the beautiful girls to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s study. ¡°You need to choose an empress. The harem also needs to be filled with beauties. Nan Feng also needs new blood!¡±
After listening to Gu De, Ming Yue Cheng put down the brush in his hand. He stared at Gu De. ¡°Prime minister, all of what you talked about are secondary matters. Zhen4 thinks the most important thing you wanted to express is that the harem needs the power of all aspects to be bnced!¡±
Gu Deughed after Ming Yue Cheng was so direct. He was about fifty years old and wasn¡¯t tall. His skin was dark and he well-built. The years harshly engraved deep traces on this chief of the Qiang tribe, but his heart wasn¡¯t defeated by the years.
Seeing Ming Yue Cheng point out the most critical meaning of the harem, Gu De stroked his beard and didn¡¯t spoke those high-sounding polite words anymore. ¡°Since Your Majesty knows, you should also know that the harem is a small court. All the forces of the court would be reflected in the harem. If you want the court to be bnced, Your Majesty must first deal with those women of the harem.¡±
¡°Prime minister, Xi Qi just became our country¡¯s territory. There are many things that zhen needs to deal with. Zhen doesn¡¯t have the mind to deal with those.¡±
How could Ming Yue Cheng not know these principles? It was just, his heart was fully filled with a woman named Feng Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t want to abandon these feelings even if Feng Qi Qi was another¡¯s wife. To Ming Yue Cheng, Feng Qi Qi was like a white lotus in the centre of the water. He only needed to guard her from afar.
Gu De didn¡¯t know about Feng Qi Qi. Ever since Ming Yue Cheng became the emperor, he had resisted to take consorts, making Gu De unable to guess this young emperor¡¯s mind. The women of the harem were the best way for an emperor to control the court. Ming Yue Cheng being like this was a bit unconventional.
¡°Your Majesty, if you insist on not taking an empress is alright. You can first choose some young women to fill the harem. The other things can be taken slowly!¡± Gu De thought that the reason Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯t willing was because the court wasn¡¯t stable yet. There was one more reason why he (GD) worried about the country and the people. Presumably, this young emperor hadn¡¯t been enlightened in this matter (making love) yet. Then, the more it was necessary for women to enlighten him. After all the empress and the continuation of the imperial family were rted to the stability of the country.
¡°Your Majesty has great ambition, but the old saying goes: get married and start a career. Of course, it was to start a family first before you can start a career!¡±
Gu De wanted to continue to persuade Ming Yue Cheng, Ming Yue Cheng hugged his tummy and screamed, ¡°Prime minister, zhen seemed to have eaten something bad. I will be back soon...¡±
Not waiting for Gu De to stop him, Ming Yue Cheng rushed out of the imperial study with Fu Er. Looking at Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s back disappear like a gust of wind, Gu De shook his head helplessly. Your Majesty, ah, you use this trick every time, don¡¯t you feel tired?
Seeing that the table was full of portraits of beautifuldies, Gu De sighed. These women had been carefully selected. Whether it was their character, background, appearance or talents, they were the best of the best. They had sufficient ability to enter the harem and be a consort. Why doesn¡¯t Ming Yue Cheng like this? Could it be that he had some problems?
In the imperial garden, Ming Yue Cheng heard Fu Er say that Gu De didn¡¯t chase them. Only then did he slow his pace and sighed from relief.
¡°Fu Er, would it be considered that zhen is evading responsibility by being like this?¡± The imperial garden was full of spring. Ming Yue Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the few white clouds in the blue sky.
¡°Your Majesty, you being like this is being responsible for them.¡±
The them Fu Er talked about was of course referring to those women who were about to be elected. In this world, how many people sharpened their head and sent their daughters into the pce, wishing they could jump and be a phoenix. But, how would they know what kind of a scary ce the harem was? No matter how pure and innocent the women was, after entering the pce, they would turn -from the appearance to their soul- into a devil that could eat people.
Fu Er had been serving those consorts in the pce since young and was used to see the ups and downs. Now, he could understand Ming Yue Cheng. Not to mention that in this master¡¯s heart lives another her! Fu Er dared to say that as long as that woman is alive, no other women in this world can enter this emperor¡¯s eyes. It could only be said that fate yed with people!
¡°Fu Er, you¡¯ve always been so good to zhen! No matter what zhen did, you supported zhen and looked for all kind of excuses for zhen...¡±
Ming Yue Cheng turned and looked at Fu Er. This servant who had followed him to Xi Qi that year, now his hair was already greyed. He clearly remembered all those cold nights after the death of his empress mother Miao Chu Yun. It was Fu Er who stayed with him,forted him, encouraged him and also told him, ¡°Your Highness, Fu Er will always stay with you till thest moment of Fu Er¡¯s life.¡±
Thinking about it, from the moment Fu Er followed him to now, tens of years had passed. Now, he had be Nan Feng¡¯s emperor, Fu Er is still serving him with diligence. The person in front of him was probably the one who understand him the most in this world. To Ming Yue Cheng, Fu Er is a teacher and a friend. He had never treated Fu Er as an inferior servant.
¡°Your Majesty, this servant had promised empress to take care of you! Empress had the grace of saving this servant. This ve¡¯s life is yours!¡±
Fu Er¡¯s words made Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart warm in this afternoon in the spring. To have such a loyal person at his side was a very fortunate thing.
¡°Fu Er, where is Feng Qi Qi?¡±
¡°Answering Your Majesty, princess has just entered Nan Feng. Miss Gu had already sent a letter through the pigeon.¡±
¡°Oh...zhen got it.¡±
After that, Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak. He only looked at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back. Fu Er quietly retreated to a side and waited for Ming Yue Cheng. Until the sun was gone, and the sun burned itsst glory on the sky, Ming Yue Cheng still had the same posture.
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s deste back made Fu Er sigh deeply in his heart. He, a servant, couldn¡¯t say to much on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s matter. However, seeing his master like this, Fu Er still felt sad for Ming Yue Cheng. After all, he saw Ming Yue Cheng grow up and also spent so many years with him in Xi Qi. He loved Ming Yue Cheng as if he was his child from the bottom of his heart.
It was just, life, ah. If it wasn¡¯t full of ups and downs it wouldn¡¯t be called life.
When Gu De left the pce, those officials who had been waiting outside immediately surrounded him. ¡°Prime minister, what did His Majesty say? What¡¯s His Majesty¡¯s attitude?¡±
These eager officials all had daughters that was in the selection process. So, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s attitude determined whether their families would rise and achieve meteoric sess. Ever since Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ascension, he never had any thoughts of marring an empress and taking in consorts, making these officials anxious from waiting.
To put it inly they didn¡¯t care about whether their daughter would be favored. Instead, they cared about whether the emperor would ept such a way that benefits both parties. Daughters were only gifts they contributed. If the emperor epts, their family would naturally be loyal to the emperor. If the emperor rejects, it would inevitable let these people be frightened.
Gu De had gone through many challenging experiences at court for many years. Naturally, he knew the thoughts of these people. He couldn¡¯t say that they were snobbish and selfish. It had been always like this throughout the dynasties and throughout the history. Only by linking the interest of the imperial family to their own family would let these officials feel at ease. Otherwise, apanying a sovereign could be like apanying a tiger. If they didn¡¯t reach a consensus interest and by chance the emperor refused to acknowledge them, then wouldn¡¯t it be bad?
Seeing that Gu De didn¡¯t speak, someone was anxious. ¡°Prime minister, give us some hints, ah! What is His Majesty¡¯s thoughts? We were all looking for you to bring some news!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, prime minister! His Majesty is not young anymore. When would he select consorts? There are already some gossips outside. I¡¯m afraid that if it goes on like this, it would affect His Majesty!¡±
¡°What gossips?¡± Hearing these word, Gu De frowned. He just returned to Qiang tribe for a while, inside the capital there are already gossips that are not beneficial to Ming Yue Cheng?
¡°Prime minister, it wasn¡¯t I who said them. Don¡¯t me me!¡± That person saw that Gu De had be serious, he immediately gestured with his hands that this had nothing to do with him. ¡°All my colleagues must have also heard them!¡±
When this person said that, the neighboring officials were also ufortable. Only now did Gu De got to know that inside the capital there were some critics about Ming Yue Cheng not taking an empress.
¡°What did they say?¡±
¡°This...¡± Stalled for a half a day, someone responded Gu De in a small voice. ¡°The outside rumoured that His Majesty likes men.¡±
When these words were spoken, the officials held their breaths and looked cautiously at Gu De. They didn¡¯t expect that Gu De¡¯s face sank first and then heughed.
¡°This is simply very ridiculous! His Majesty is a healthy man, why would he like men?! It¡¯spletely a false rumor...¡±
A clever person caught some sensitive things from Gu De¡¯s words. He immediately asked, ¡°Prime minister, you mean that His Majesty agreed to select consorts? That¡¯s great!¡±
Not allowing Gu De to exin, the group of people knelt in front of the pce and yelled, ¡°Long live His majesty for ten thousand, ten thousand years!¡±
¡°You...¡± Gu De just spoke when the officials stood up beamingly. ¡°Prime minister, thank you! You are simply an official who did a great merit for our Nan Feng!¡±
1. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank
2. Er: term of endearment
3. Shizi: heir of the first-rank prince/crown prince by the main wife

Chapter 190: The crisis of selecting consort (2)
Chapter 190: The crisis of selecting consort (2)
¡°No, you guys...¡±
¡°Thank you, prime minister!¡± ¡°Nevertheless, prime minister is still the most impressive. As soon as prime minister attended to this matter, His Majesty has decided to select consorts!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right! Prime minister has really done a meritorious service ah!¡±
The praises from the officials shrouded Gu De, leaving him no time to discern anything. By the time Gu De understood their intentions, they had already dispersed and only theirughter could be heard from afar.
¡°This group of sly foxes!¡± sighed Gu De. These guys have really created trouble for him this time! They didn¡¯t even wait for him to finish and justpletely misinterpreted his words. He was certain that soon, the entire capital would know about Ming Yue Cheng selecting consorts. How should he exin this to the emperor then? Did this count as a beautiful misunderstanding?
However, Gu De¡¯s helpless expression changed into a deep smile after a while. Perhaps this mess would make things take a turn for the better and maybe due to the pressure, Ming Yue Cheng would have no choice but to select consorts!
Before then, he (GD) should bring a bramble and ask for punishment and let Ming Yue Cheng prepare himself mentally.
Bring a bramble and ask for punishment: to offer somebody a humble apology
When Ming Yue Cheng came back from the imperial garden, he noticed that Gu De was still standing in the imperial study. This stubborn old man was truly giving him a headache.
¡°Could it be that prime minister wants to stay in the pce and apany zhen 1 to have a meal?¡± Ming Yue Cheng sat down half-jokingly, he propped his chin with one hand and stared at Gu De. In the past, whenever he slipped away, Gu De would have had already left by the time he returned to the study. However, this time he (GD) was still there, very persistent ah!
Gu De knelt down in front of Ming Yue Cheng as soon as thetter spoke. His face (GD) was creased like a fried dough twist, ¡°Your Majesty, this servant beg for your forgiveness! Your Majesty, please have mercy ah!¡±
After saying that, hended his head heavily on the ground and he refused to get up, making Ming Yue Cheng somewhat baffled.
¡°What happened? Prime minister, you should get up first and then speak!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng signaled for Fu Er to help Gu De get up, but unexpectedly he (GD) was nailed to the ground. He refused to get up no matter what. ¡°Your Majesty, this old servant has let you down, this old servant deserves to die ten thousand deaths! This old servant¡¯s death is not to be regretted, but this old servant¡¯s worried about Your Majesty ah...¡±
This kind of making a terrible scene scheme was usually only used by women, but this time, it was copied indiscriminately by Gu De. Ming Yue Cheng really didn¡¯t know whether he shouldugh or cry. Could it be that Gu De had changed his strategy and tactics after hitting a wall a few times here? The stream of tears on his old face really made the scene look like Ming Yue Cheng was a muddle-headed monarch that was bullying him!
To make a terrible scene: to throw a tantrum
To hit a wall: to have the door mmed in one¡¯s face
¡°Uncle Gu De, you should get up first, and then tell me about what had happened.¡± Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng had finally addressed him as ¡®Uncle Gu De¡¯, Gu De breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like this matter was not as severe as he thought. He hoped that he (MYC) would be able to understand his good intentions.
Gu De stood up, only then did Ming Yue Cheng notice that his eyes were quite red. This made his ever persistent heart waver a bit.
¡°Uncle Gu De, what exactly has happened that made you perform such a big rite towards zhen?¡±
After Ming Yue Cheng ascended the throne, he addressed Gu De as the prime minister and bestowed upon him a special privilege, which exempted him from kowtowing when he sees him (MYC). From the way Gu De behaved, Ming Yue Cheng deducted that something must have happened and it must be something big, so he wanted Gu De to exin the matter in person.
As expected, when Gu De told him what had happened at the pce gate counted by five and tens, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s first reaction was that he had been hoodwinked and duped by a group of old foxes.
Count by fives and tens: to narrate systematically and in full detail
¡°Your Majesty, you see... I reckon that by now, all the people in the capital must be celebrating about you ¡®selecting consorts¡¯...¡±
The ¡®helplessness¡¯ in Gu De¡¯s words made Ming Yue Cheng wish he could pry open Gu De¡¯s brains to see whether he really had no intention of doing so at all, or if he did this on purpose.
What should he do now? Now he has been ced in this awkward position, and if you rode a tiger, it was hard to get off. Don¡¯t tell him that he had no choice but to really start ¡®selecting consorts¡¯?
If you ride a tiger, it¡¯s hard to get off: impossible to stop halfway
¡°Your Majesty, there are some words that I don¡¯t know whether it is appropriate to say or not...¡± Gu De hesitated for a moment and put on an ¡®awkward¡¯ expression.
¡°Speak!¡± If the person standing in front of Ming Yue Cheng now wasn¡¯t Gu De, or if he (GD) and the Chu family weren¡¯t acquainted with one another, then he (MYC) certainly wouldn¡¯t have waited so patiently. Instead, Gu De would have already been dragged down and beaten with the nk eighty times as punishment!
¡°As you have been reluctant to select consorts and there¡¯s no master in the harem yet, there are some rumors in the city saying that you...¡±
¡°Saying that you like men...¡±
After Gu De hesitated for a while he finally uttered those few words, causing Fu Er to choke on his saliva instantly. ¡°Cough, cough, cough...¡±
¡°Eunuch Fu, take it easy, I just stated a fact!¡± That¡¯s exactly what the people are saying out there!¡± Speaking up to this point, Gu De¡¯s expression changed into one of earnest and well-meaning advice. ¡°Your Majesty, you are now the sovereign of Nan Feng, so each and every move of yours is being watched by the citizens. If the harem remains uninhabited and there¡¯s no sessor to the royal family, this would only bring about unrest in the country and make the citizens restless ah!¡±
Earnest and well-meaning advice: to persuade patiently
What Gu De had said was reasonable, how could Ming Yue Cheng not not understand? Since things have reached this stage, he couldn¡¯t avoid the matter of selecting consorts anymore. It seemed that from now on, he had no choice but to counter a move when he sees one.
¡°Your Majesty, Your Majesty?¡± Gu De¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw that Ming Yue Cheng was not uttering a word and just frowning there. Could it be that he (MYC) got angry? Gu De knew that if those words were said by someone else instead of him, then most likely, that person would have been dragged down already and punished! This time, he relied on his seniority. However, he really hoped that Ming Yue Cheng could understand the essential rtion between the harem and the imperial court, and for him to take up his role as the sovereign seriously.
¡°Prime minister, zhen understand what you¡¯re trying to say. Since it¡¯s already like this, zhen will let Prime Minister be in charge of this matter to select consorts! The first and second round should be done ording to the old rules, as for the final election round in the pce, zhen will oversee that in person!¡±
¡°Yes! This subject will do as Your Majestymanded!¡± Gu De¡¯s heart finally rxed after hearing Ming Yue Cheng say those words. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something. ¡°Your Majesty, if you don¡¯t like for it to be so rowdy in the harem, then picking one is enough! The headcount doesn¡¯t matter, the most important thing is choosing someone that¡¯s virtuous! The citizens want nothing more but an empress, who could be a motherly figure for the country, and Nan Fengcks a prince to carry on the royal family. But, this subject wishes all the more for Your Majesty to be happy...¡±
The meaning behind Gu De¡¯s words was already very clear. In regard to the matter of selecting consorts, he was not like the other officials, who wished for the harem to be filled with all the more women. Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯tscivious at all, which in Gu De¡¯s opinion could be considered as a good thing. There were many examples of how indulgence in lust resulted in the eventual destruction of nations. Ming Yue Cheng had lost his mother when he was a child and hadn¡¯t received much love from his emperor father. Moreover, he was sent away at a very young age to be a hostage at the enemy country. If he could meet someone he likes and spend the rest of his life with her, then that would be a very happy thing.
Gu De knew that Ming Yue Cheng, as the emperor, could not have a monogamous marriage all his life. But, as his elder, Gu De still hoped for this solitary monarch to obtain his very own happiness.
After saying those words, Gu De bowed respectfully and then slowly retreated.
As Ming Yue Cheng watched Gu De¡¯s not-so-tall figure disappeared at the doorway, his (GD)st few words were still echoing in his (MYC) mind. So, actually, there were still people around who really cared about him! No matter how many things Gu De had done against his (MYC) will, he still did those out of good intentions! In this world, if you have people treating you sincerely, then you should cherish them. Otherwise, it would be toote for regrets after you lose them. This was what his mother Miao Chu Yun had once said to him.
¡°Fu Er, the pce¡¯s going to be bustling with noise and excitement soon.¡± Ming Yue Cheng leaned on the dragon chair, unable to describe the feeling in his inner heart at this moment. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face appeared in his mind, her smile and her frown were all missed by him.
¡°Your Majesty, if you don¡¯t like this... Then after you take a wife, you can just bestow her a title and leave it at that!¡±
Fu Er¡¯s heart ached for Ming Yue Cheng. However, he knew that if he (MYC) didn¡¯t select consorts, then this would bring turmoil to the country. There was a need for a sessor from the same royal bloodline to carry on this dynasty. If Ming Yue Cheng continued to persist in this matter, then not only the imperial court but also the citizens would start criticizing. This was the involuntary ¡®grievance¡¯ that those born to be an emperor had to endure.
¡°Ha ha...¡± smiled Ming Yue Cheng lightly. ¡°Fu Er, wouldn¡¯t that just be wasting thedy¡¯s precious time?!¡±
¡°Your Majesty, to be able to serve you is the people¡¯s blessing.¡± Fu Er stepped forward and poured some tea for Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°Your Majesty, you should also think for yourself. Since that dream can¡¯t be a reality, you ought to think in the interest of the country and the royal bloodline.¡±
The ¡®dream¡¯ that Fu Er talked about was referring to Feng Qi Qi. How could Ming Yue Cheng not understand that Fu Er was indirectly persuading him to let go of his feelings? But, was it really that easy to let go?
It wasn¡¯t long before the news about Ming Yue Cheng ¡®selecting consorts¡¯ was spread. The citizens, who were still worrying about the unupied harem, could finally relieve their hearts this time. Henceforth, the entire capital became lively again.
Those families, with the intention to participate in the election, did everything they could to dress up their daughters, in hope that their family¡¯s daughter could fly to the top of the branches and be the phoenix. After Ming Yue Cheng ascended the throne, he made drastic reforms to the country and then he also conquered Xi Qi in a very short period of time. Thus, in the citizens¡¯ eyes he was the embodiment of a hero.
Phoenix: symbolize the empress
Of course, heroes should be matched with a beauty. At present, thosedy-in-waiting candidates have long heard of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ¡®glorious achievements¡¯, and how outstanding and graceful this young emperor was. Hence in their hearts, they naturally wanted to marry him and be his woman.
In just a while, the prices for all the jewelry, clothing and cosmetics in the capital have doubled. The biggest beneficiaries this time were of course Feng Qi Qi¡¯s Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang.
As this was the first time Ming Yue Cheng was selecting consorts, most of thedy-in-waiting candidates came from official families. The youngdies from official families were naturally well-off and rich, not to mention how those officials were willing to spend loads of money on their daughters for the purpose of getting elected. As a result, Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang became their first choice.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s going to select consorts?¡±
When Feng Qi Qi received the news, she was surprised. It wasn¡¯t just her, even Gu Yun Wan was very surprised by this. After all, Gu Yun Wan understood his (MYC) character quite well, he¡¯s usually very stubborn. In the past, Gu De had forced him to ¡®select consorts¡¯ and he simply abandoned the state affairs and ¡®fled¡¯ to Bei Zhou. Why did he agree so easily this time? This was truly too bizarre!
While Gu Yun Wan was pondering over why Ming Yue Cheng changed so drastically, she was also stealing nces at Feng Qi Qi, hoping to see some kind of reaction from her face.
On the contrary, Gu Yun Wan found the oue quite disappointing. Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t show even the slightest bit of disappointment, jealousy nor other expressions. It seems that Feng Qi Qi really only treated Ming Yue Cheng as a friend, as opposed to his painstaking efforts.
When Feng Qi Qi heard that Ming Yue Cheng was going to select consorts, she felt happy for him. Apart from being happy, she was also a bit worried. Being in that position, it was still a question whether he could meet a girl that was to his liking. ¡®It was lonely at the top¡¯, she wondered if Ming Yue Cheng had already realized this.
However, Feng Qi Qi could not intervene with these things, and could only hope that Ming Yue Cheng would be happy! On the following days, Feng Qi Qi started designing a new set of jewelry. She was nning to give this to Ming Yue Cheng as his wedding gift.
This was the first time that Gu Yun Wan saw Feng Qi Qi designing a present. After seeing those beautiful jewelry designs on the drawing, she couldn¡¯t help eximing in admiration, ¡°Qi Qi, what a beautiful set of jewelry! It¡¯s up to par with Tong Bao Zhai¡¯s jewelry!¡±
Su Mei couldn¡¯t help butugh when she heard Gu Yun Wan¡¯s words. ¡°Miss Wan, you¡¯re probably not aware of this yet, right? Tong Bao Zhai belongs to our miss!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Now it was Gu Yun Wan¡¯s turn to be surprised. Her eyes widened and her mouth turned into an ¡®o¡¯ shape. All that shed through her eyes was admiration. ¡°So, it turns out that you are the famous Guang Hua gongzi? Heavens ah! Guang Hua gongzi is actually a woman? I had no idea at all! Ming Yue Cheng did mention this before, but I thought he lied to me! I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s true!¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s personality was rtively strong. But, no matter how strong a girl behaved, the love for beauty could still be found in a tiny part of their heart and Gu Yun Wan was naturally no exception. Perhaps there were no women in this world that could withstand the allure of Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai.
At this moment, Gu Yun Wan was looking at Feng Qi Qi in a different light. Besides astonishment and admiration, there was also a kind of regret not having met earlier!
¡°Qi Qi, you¡¯re really perfect! Now I know why everyone loves you so much!¡± She said and sighed from the bottom of her heart. Unexpectedly, these words were heard by Feng Cang, who had lifted the curtain toe in. ¡°Who loves my family¡¯s Qing Qing?¡±
Hearing the jealousy in Feng Cang¡¯s words, Gu Yun Wan stuck out her tongue and ran away from the scene. Su Mei also smiled and went out, leaving the couple alone.
¡°Qing Qing, what were you girls talking about earlier? Who loves you?¡±
¡°Nothing special... Little Wan was just saying that I¡¯m loved by all, running into me makes the flowers bloom and encountering me makes the cars boom!¡± Feng Qi Qi shook her head helplessly upon seeing Feng Cang filled with jealousy. He was usually calm and rational, but when it came to matters rted to Feng Qi Qi, he would be impulsive. Right then, he pulled her into his embrace and praised her incessantly when he saw those designs on the table.
¡°This set of jewelry is beautiful! Did Qing Qing give it a name yet?¡±
¡°Peacock Flying to the Southeast...¡± Originally, Feng Qi Qi hasn¡¯t thought of a good name yet. However, for some reason, now that she looked at this set of jewelry again, this name came to mind and was blurted out by her.
¡° Peacock Flying to the Southeast? That¡¯s not bad.¡±
While Feng Cang was talking, his lip moved to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ear and he breathed softly. ¡°Qing Qing, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s going to select consorts and choose an empress.¡±
¡°Yes,¡± hummed Feng Qi Qi softly twice. Her cheeks flushed slightly when she felt the heating from her ears, making her heart tickle and her body numb.
¡°After Ming Yue Cheng takes a wife, I can finally be at ease.¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t expect Feng Cang to say something like that in the end. It looked like he still remembers those words that Ming Yue Cheng had said before ah! This guy... he¡¯s really petty! ¡°It¡¯s all a thing of the past, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°No. That guy won¡¯t give up so easily. So, I¡¯m feeling a lot of pressure ah!¡±
Feng Cang didn¡¯t tell her the words in his heart directly. In his opinion, regardless of whether it was an attack out in the open or a hidden attack, he could counter a move when he sees one and shoots the people harboring evil designs towards Qing Qing down. But this Ming Yue Cheng, he was just watching from a distance and was the ¡®if you are happy, then I am happy¡¯ kind of person. In fact, this type was the most difficult to ¡®deal with¡¯.
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
Chapter 191 (Part 1) Selecting consorts
Chapter 191 (Part 1) Selecting consorts
However, Feng Cang admired this ¡®special¡¯ rival from the bottom of his heart. In any case, Ming Yue Cheng was an opponent worthy to be respected. He would never plot scheme or y trickery. Moreover, he had never y dirty tricks behind the back. As Ming Yue Cheng said before, ¡°I love you, this has nothing to do with you.¡± Feng Cang thought that if it was him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do that on the matter of love.
The news of Nan Feng¡¯s new emperor selecting consorts soon spread like wildfire throughout the entire Nan Feng.
These days during the court, Ming Yue Cheng could feel that the expressions of these ministers were weird. They looked at him as if they were looking at a delicious cake. Some people had even put portraits of their own daughter in the memorial to the emperor, hoping that Ming Yue Cheng could see them when he read the memorial and get a good impression of their daughter. Everyone thought highly of Ming Yue Cheng and all wanted to be connected to the imperial family.
So, a spectacr project about selecting consorts began in the capital. All the beautiful girls were arranged to enter the pce to begin the primary and secondary selections. Everyone strived to show the best of themselves and hoped to be selected by Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Fu Er, how are things going?¡± Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯t affected by the noise of the outside world at all. He still read the memorials conscientiously and asionally asked one or two things about the matters of selecting consorts.
¡°Answering the emperor, the primary selection hasn¡¯t yet begun! The quality of the beautiful girls this time is very high. Those young mistresses are all outstanding. It seems that this time sir Gu De is going to have a headache!¡±
¡°Ha....¡± Couldn¡¯t decipher whether theughter of Ming Yue Cheng was happy or sad. After reviewing thest memorial, Ming Yue Cheng stood up and stretched his muscles. Suddenly he said, ¡°Fu Er, today¡¯s weather is just right. Apany me out of the pce!¡±
¡°Yes....¡± Fu Er had alwaysplied with Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s request. He immediately changed Ming Yue Cheng into the ordinary clothes. Afterwards, Fu Er followed behind Ming Yue Cheng and the two got out of the pce.
It was already early in the spring. The spring in Nan Feng arrived particrly early. Women selling flowers could be seen everywhere on the street. Those beautiful purples and brilliant red flowers were ced in the flower vase. Only by giving a few coppers, a small bouquet could be taken. It was really a good deal.
Beautiful purples and brilliant red: beautiful flowers
Ming Yue Cheng looked at the spray of flowers in front for a long time. He finally picked a bouquet of peach blossoms. Early spring, it was the perfect time when peach blossom bloomed most gorgeously. Peach blossoms were simple and small, with simple colors and small petal. They strived to flourish under the warm sun of spring as if they would use their whole life to embrace spring.
¡°Is it beautiful, Fu Er?¡±
¡°Beautiful! The peach tree is young and elegant, brilliant are its flower!¡±
The peach tree is young and elegant, brilliant are its flower: This sentence is from a Chinese poetry (ÌÒ֮زز£¬×Æ×ÆÆ仪). It means that the peach tree is in full blossom with its flower blooming very beautiful.
¡°Hm, well said!¡± Ming Yue Cheng took the peach blossoms and walked aimlessly in the capital. People brushed past him from time to time. Those smiling faces affected Ming Yue Cheng¡®s mood more or less.
Just when Ming Yue Cheng was immersed in the beauty of spring, the sound of pipa came over.
Pipa (ÅýÅÃ): a Chinese musical string instrument/ a Chinese lute
He followed the sound and found a girl in white clothes kneeling at the street corner not far from him. She had a slender yellow straw on her head and a body was lying in front of her. On the ground next to her, there was a piece of paper on which the words ¡®selling body to bury father¡¯ were clearly written.
The mournful sound of the girl¡¯s pipa with this harmonious spring was somewhat not matched. Her head was lowered, her clothes were wet at the chest, and tears continued to slide down her cheeks. The girl¡¯s voice was also very choked with sobs, so the sound came out particrly sad.
¡°Let¡¯s go over to take a look!¡± Ming Yue Cheng came to the front of the girl. The girl drooped her head and a pair of slender white hands were plucking on the pipa. With her kneeling down like this at the street corner and upying a small area, her eyes couldn¡¯t see the liveliness of the endless stream of horse and carriages at all. She simply lowered her head to y the pipa and her softly singing became the alternative of the busy corner.
An endless stream of horse and carriages: heavy traffic on the street
¡°How much money?¡± Ming Yue Cheng looked at her for a long time and slowly opened his mouth.
¡°Two taels.¡± After seeing that somebody had pay attention to her, the white dressed girl raised her head. When Ming Yue Cheng looked at those teary eyes of her, his heart skipped a beat. This pair of eyes, this face, were actually somewhat simr to Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Death contract?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± The white dressed girl didn¡¯t expect that the person who asked her would be a handsome gentleman. She was a bit nervous after looking at Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s clothes, which clearly was of a nobleman. ording to hearsay, the sons of those aristocrats didn¡¯t regard women as human beings. A girl from her vige was exactly tortured to death after being a ve to them. Is this misfortuneing to her now?
¡°Fu Er, give her two hundred taels and help her buried the body. Afterwards, bring her back.¡±
After leaving these words, Ming Yue Cheng turned away and left the white dressed girl in astonishment.
¡°Girl, let¡¯s go!¡± Fu er sighed. It seemed that His Majesty was stuck in the magic of Feng Qi Qi. Was this cmity or fate?
After Fu Er was done with everything in the evening, he brought the white dressed girl into the pce.
Before, the girl had imagined for quite a while what kind of person Ming Yue Cheng was. Even when she saw the majestic standing and the gold and jade in glorious splendor of the imperial pce, she didn¡¯t link Ming Yue Cheng to the emperor. Just after following Fu Er into the study and seeing a yellow dragon robe on Ming Yue Cheng, did she then know his identity.
Gold and jade in glorious splendor: a dazzling sight
¡°You, you are the emperor?¡± The girl looked at Ming Yue Cheng in astonishment. Fu Er¡¯s brow furrowed as soon as he heard these words, ¡°Audacious....¡±
That long and stern voice made the girl startled and she quickly knelt down. The girl was more affirmative of her inner thoughts after hearing the tone of Fu Er like this. Ming Yue Cheng was the emperor? What did the emperor buy her for?
Now, anxiety took up most of the girl¡¯s heart. She was already a lonely person as she didn¡¯t have parents. Now that she had met Ming Yue Cheng; she really didn¡¯t know what would happen in the future.
¡°How old are you? What¡¯s your name?¡± Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t let the girl stood up and just stared at her. A moment ago, Fu Er had already let the girl change her white clothes and put on blue clothes. It actually washed away some of her grief.
¡°I...no, no, this subject¡¯s daughter is called Lan Cai Yun and is fifteen years old this year.¡± Lan Cai Yun knelt down and didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore.
¡°Can you read?¡±
¡°Answering His Majesty, this subject¡¯s daughter was privately tutored by her father for several years, so had learned a few words.¡±
¡°Hm. Stand up and calmly take two steps.¡±
Lan Cai Yun was surprised at this request of Ming Yue Cheng. However, she couldn¡¯t refute anything. She could only stand up and walked around the study ording to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s request.
¡°Will you be loyal to zhen1?¡±
After Ming Yue Cheng asked the question, Lan Cai Yun immediately knelt down on the ground. ¡°Your Majesty helped this subject¡¯s daughter bury her father, so this subject¡¯s daughter is a ve of Your Majesty and will be loyal to Your Majesty all her life.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t have any expression after listening to Lan Cai Yun¡¯s words. He single-handedly supported his chin; after his fingers tipped the face twice, he nodded. ¡°Zhen will trust you for the moment! Fu Er, take Cai Yun to rest! From tomorrow on, arrange an elder maid to teach her the etiquette of the pce. Zhen wants you to learn it in three days, or else...you don¡¯t have any value of existence. Do you understand?¡±
¡°This ve understands. This ve will certainly do her best....¡±
¡°Retreat then....¡±
After Fu Er helped Lan Cai Yun settle down properly, he returned to the study.
¡°Your Majesty, this ve doesn¡¯t understand what you mean?¡± He was saying he didn¡¯t understand, but Fu Er¡¯s heart could more or less guess what Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s intentions were. He just wasn¡¯t sure. After all, if Ming Yue Cheng really thought so, then it was really too rashly.
¡°Fu Er, what do you think of Lan Cai Yun?¡± Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t directly answer Fu Er¡¯s question. Instead, this question made Fu Er even more convinced of his inner thoughts.
¡°Your Majesty, Lan Cai Yun is a bit small-minded. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s unable to suppress the harem.
Fu Er saying so, Ming Yue Cheng understood. This old man who had followed him for many years had guessed his real inner thoughts.
Indeed, Ming Yue Cheng was nning to let Lan Cai Yun participate in the selection of consorts. Since those people ¡®forced¡¯ him to ept woman because of continuing the royal bloodline and because a country couldn¡¯tck an empress, then he would pick a person who would surprise everyone.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t understand those schemes of the court. It was just his heart was given to a woman named Feng Qi Qi and he didn¡¯t have time to deal with other women. However, the matters about selecting consorts had already been announced to the whole country. He was afraid that if he backed out, he would be unable toply with the people¡¯s heart. Since this was the case, he just had to find a woman who he could control, such as Lan Cai Yun.
By afternoon, An Ying (a secret spy) had already found out about Lan Cai Yun¡¯s past. She was an orphan girl without parents and didn¡¯t have any status nor background. As long as they gave her a new identity and adjust her head and turn her face, she could have a new beginning.
Adjust her head and turn her face: cosmetic changes
The seat of empress? He had already promised to give it to Feng Qi Qi. Even if she wouldn¡¯t be his empress, this seat was tailor-made for that woman. Others weren¡¯t qualified to sit on it!
¡°Fu Er, did you think that I¡¯m going to marry a lot of women? If she isn¡¯t to zhen¡¯s likeness, then zhen will rather not have her.¡±
The obstinate loneliness was revealed in the words of Ming Yue Cheng. Fu Er looked at this master¡¯s resolute expression under the light and didn¡¯t know how to persuade Ming Yue Cheng. He (FE) had served him (MYC) so many years, so he clearly knew how stubborn this emperor was. It was a pity that fate yed tricks on people, otherwise Feng Qi Qi would really have been a perfect match for his master.
¡°Your Majesty, you really need to think clearly about this matter. The selection of consorts has already started. Miss Lan doesn¡¯t have any backing to support her. How do you n to put her among thedy-in-waiting candidates?¡±
¡°This is easy....¡± The corners of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s mouth lifted, ¡°The prime minister had tricked zhen. Since zhen has demands, so he shall naturally help.¡±

Chapter 191 (Part 2) Selecting consorts
Chapter 191 (Part 2) Selecting consorts
Three dayster, Ming Yue Cheng suddenly called Gu De to the pce, leaving Gu De puzzled. It was almost the primary selection, and the emperor suddenly summoned him. Could it be that there was something to be alerted or was it...the emperor had changed his mind?
Gu De entered the study with a nervous heart. After carefully observing Ming Yue Cheng twice, Gu De didn¡¯t sense any strangeness. He hadn¡¯t spoken yet, Ming Yue Cheng already looked up. ¡°Uncle Gu De, sit!¡±
Fu Er sent people to get a chair and then sent everyone away. There were only Ming Yue Cheng and Gu De left in the room, while Fu Er guarded far away.
After waiting for a long time, Ming Yue Cheng was still talking about meaningless topics, which made Gu De¡¯s heart in a mess. As far as he knew, Ming Yue Cheng wasn¡¯t an emperor who would spend time chatting with people. The memorials on his desk were stacked up like hills. It was just too strange for Ming Yue Cheng to put down the memorials and chat with him.
After waiting for ages, Ming Yue Cheng still didn¡¯t get to the main topic. Gu De couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to talk. ¡°Don¡¯t know why Your Majesty has called this subject to the pce today? What is the matter? Is it because of tomorrow selection of consorts? Your Majesty can rest assured. This old subject knows what to do.¡±
¡°Prime minister really knows what to do?¡± The voice of Ming Yue Cheng rose and his address to Gu De changed from ¡®uncle¡¯ to ¡®prime minister¡¯. Such a change and the dignified words of Ming Yue Cheng made Gu De stunned.
¡°What do you mean, Your Majesty?¡± Gu De didn¡¯t understand and couldn¡¯t guess this young emperor¡¯s thoughts. He (MYC) was such a ¡®be a gentleman first and a soldier second¡¯ and the pitch of his voice fluctuated. It made Gu De¡¯s heart really uncertain. He didn¡¯t know what kind of medicine Ming Yue Cheng was selling from the bottle gourd.
Be a gentleman first and a soldier second: try peaceful measures first before resorting to force
What kind of medicine one was selling from the bottle gourd: what has he got up his sleeve
¡°Fu Er, let here in!¡±
When Lan Cai Yun followed after Fu Er, Gu De seemed to understand the thoughts of Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Daughter Gu Yun Yao pays respect to adoptive father!¡±
¡°Lan Cai Yun went to Gu De and did the curtsy ording to the noble etiquettes.
¡°Your Majesty, you....¡±
¡°Congrattions prime minister!¡± Ming Yue Cheng interrupted Gu De. ¡°Prime minister¡¯s adopted daughter is really extraordinary. She must be able to stand out in the selection of consorts. Prime minister, what do you think?¡±
¡°Haha....¡± Besides giving a dryugh, Gu De couldn¡¯t find any words to say. It seemed that Ming Yue Cheng had already prepared these at an earlier time and was just waiting here for him to fall into the trap!
Gu De carefully looked Lan Cai Yun up and down and then nodded. She¡¯s a pretty girl, and her appearance revealed virtuousness and gentleness. If His Majesty really liked this girl, as a matter of fact, there was no harm in it! He only gave this girl a noble identity.
¡°Yao er1, still not thanking the prime minister?¡±
¡°Yao er thanks adoptive father!¡±
After Lan Cai Yun withdrew, Gu De opened his mouth. ¡°Your Majesty, what do you mean in the end? Could it be that you want Gu Yun Yao to participate in the selection of consorts?¡±
¡°That is exactly what zhen2 means. Didn¡¯t uncle Gu De say that the pce needs a woman and zhen also needs a woman to justify myself to the whole world? Since that is the case, then this woman will be chosen by zhen personally. Is this not possible?¡±
¡°But, but what kind of person is she, Your Majesty? If there¡¯s no good reason, I¡¯m afraid that it can¡¯t convince the masses!¡±
Ming Yue Chengughed at Gu De¡¯s words. ¡°What uncle Gu De said is really funny! Isn¡¯t she your adoptive daughter? She has been kept in her boudoir and was only now let to appear in public. Could it be that uncle Gu De didn¡¯t know? What¡¯s there to be afraid if the ministers want to check? Yao er is prime minister¡¯s adoptive daughter. This identity is sufficient to convince the masses!¡±
At this very moment, Gu De finally understood. Ming Yue Cheng had kept in mind what he (GD) did previously and dug a hole for him now. ¡°Your Majesty, you have really caused destructive trouble to this old subject!¡±
As soon as Gu De thought that he would be questioned by those colleagues, he could only smile reluctantly. Ming Yue Cheng threw all the problems to him. It seemed that he (MYC) was already prepared at an earlier time.
¡°Your Majesty, this girl is your crush or is....¡±
¡°Is what?¡±
¡°Or did you find a puppet just for show?¡± Speaking this way, Gu De felt like he was too harsh. But he did everything for the sake of Ming Yue Cheng. He had never before heard that Ming Yue Cheng had had special feeling for any girl and now, some Gu Yun Yao suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Gu De had no choice but to doubt the reason behind this.
¡°If it is, then what? If it isn¡¯t, then what?¡± Ming Yue Cheng seemed to be deliberately going against this stubborn man in front of him.
¡°Your Majesty, you....¡± Gu De waspletely speechless this time. Could it be that he guessed correctly? This Gu Yun Yao wasn¡¯t Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s crush, but a countermeasure after he was forced to marry? Then wasn¡¯t it...absurd?!
¡°Prime minister, zhen still has many memorials to read. Pay more attention to tomorrow¡¯s selection of consorts. If Gu Yun Yao isn¡¯t on the list of the chosen ones, then zhen don¡¯t mind leaving the harem empty for several years and wait for the next selection of consorts.¡±
ckmail! This waspletely ckmail! Gu De wanted to say something. He was on the verge of speaking his mind, but he swallowed it back. If they didn¡¯t push Ming Yue Cheng too far, then Ming Yue Cheng wouldn¡¯t be like this. Moreover, the man in front of him wasn¡¯t that boy who called him ¡®uncle¡¯ anymore. He was the emperor of a country. If he (GD) refuted again, he feared that he would hurt the camaraderie between them.
Only a momentter, Gu De made a decision. He would properly ¡®teach¡¯ Gu Yun Yao so that she would feel at ease as the emperor¡¯s woman.
After Gu De left, Fu Er brought Gu Yun Yao in. ¡°This ve pays her greetings to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, long live ten thousand years, long live ten thousand years!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call yourself a ve in the future anymore!¡±
¡°Yes, Yao er thanks Your Majesty!¡±
He had to say, Lan Cai Yun was a promising person. She originally wasn¡¯t a small-minded girl. After three days of training day and night, her every movement had gotten the noble air of a girl from a noble house.
¡°From now on, you are the prime minister¡¯s adoptive daughter Gu Yun Yao. What you need to do and how to do it. I believe that the prime minister will teach you. You must learn well!¡±
¡°Yes! Yao er will obey Your Majesty¡¯s instructions.¡±
¡°Fu Er, send her to the prime minister¡¯s residence.¡±
Gu Yun Yao spent the night at the prime minister¡¯s residence. The next day, she was sent to the pce by Gu De and was included in the list of thedy-in-waiting candidates. Thedy-in-waiting candidates were very surprised and also curious towards the sudden appearance of the prime minister¡¯s adopted daughter. They had never heard that the prime minister Gu De had an adopted daughter. After seeing Gu Yun Yao, those people couldn¡¯t help but look at her.
It wasn¡¯t long before those high officials of Nan Feng also knew about the matter of Gu Yun Yao. These foxes were also very puzzled. However, everyone didn¡¯t doubt the identity of Gu Yun Yao. Instead, they talked privately about Gu De. They thought that Gu De usually had a noble character and unquestionable integrity, but during critical moment, he (GD) was still unable to hold back his inner desire for power and came up with an adopted daughter. It was nothing more than a desire topete for the position of empress. To put it bluntly, it was just to consolidate his (GD) position in the court.
These rumors spread to Gu De¡¯s ear but he didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. From beginning to end, he was the most ¡®innocent¡¯ person. This Gu Yun Yao was forced on him by Ming Yue Cheng. It was just because his status could give Gu Yun Yao a noble identity. Ming Yue Cheng doing so, coincidentally made his impartial image which he had always maintained, ¡®destroyed¡¯....
With Ming Yue Cheng looking after her, Gu Yun Yao sessfully passed the primary and secondary selections. Soon, it would be the selection at the ha;;.
Hall selection: the emperor will choose a consort by testing thedy-in-waiting candidates at the pce hall.
In the evening, Gu Yun Yao who was lying down on the bed, still couldn¡¯t believe the experiences of these days. Like a beautiful dream, she changed from the daughter of a teacher to the adopted daughter of the prime minister. From an ordinary civilian to a noble woman. All of this came too quickly. So quickly that Gu Yun Yao was still in the dream and didn¡¯t wake up yet.
Recalling the situation where she first saw Ming Yue Cheng, Gu Yun Yao revealed a light smile.
Gu Yun Yao knew Ming Yue Cheng. He was once Nan Feng¡¯s crown prince, andter he went to Xi Qi as a hostage. Afterwards, he returned to Nan Feng and started a pce coup d¡¯¨¦tat, seized the power, and became an emperor himself.
Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t have any special likes or dislikes towards Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s past. She only knew that Ming Yue Cheng is a good emperor. Soon after he ascended the throne, Nan Feng annexed Xi Qi. This was an emperor with outstanding ability and grand vision. It was Gu Yun Yao¡¯s blessing to be chosen by Ming Yue Cheng.
Even now Gu Yun Yao still remembered the words of Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°Zhen will make you the only woman in the harem and will also make you respected by all people. A life of luxury, you won¡¯t be short of it. However, all of these needs to be exchanged with your freedom. Are you willing?¡±
Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t even think at that time and nodded her head. Instead of wandering from ce to ce, it was better to follow the path that Ming Yue Cheng arranged for her. Anyway, she was an orphan girl. There was no one anymore in this world that she worried about and was fond of. Ming Yue Cheng helped her bury her father, so he was her benefactor. She had only a grateful heart towards Ming Yue Cheng. She was willing to do anything for Ming Yue Cheng, let alone just losing her freedom!
Gu Yun Yao had thought many times about why Ming Yue Cheng would choose her. There were many girls who were more beautiful than her, more talented than her and had a better background than her. Why did luck suddenly came andnded on her?
When she asked this question to Fu Er, the chief of internal affairs at Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s side. She saw a strange expression from Fu Er¡¯s face. Although fleeting, she still caught it.
That old man who had followed Ming Yue Cheng for more than ten years only said one sentence. ¡°You just need to guard your heart and keep your mouth shut.¡±
It looked like two simple things, but it seemed to contain a lot of profound meanings. However, the young heart of Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t understand at this moment.
In the expectation of everyone, the hall selection began.
Early in the morning, pce maids came to dress up Gu Yun Yao. In the garden where she lived, there were many official¡¯s daughters who passed the primary and secondary selection. Gu Yun Yao saw excitement and joy from their faces.
Those young girls all dressed themselves up gorgeously to show their most beautiful sides to Ming Yue Cheng. These days, Gu Yun Yao often heard them discussing privately what kind of person Ming Yue Cheng was. What was his appearance like? How was his temper? Was he easy to serve?
Whenever at this moment, Gu Yun Yao would retreat to one side and wouldn¡¯t participate in these girl¡¯s discussion. Their innocent faces were full of yearning for this pce.
Gu Yun Yao felt much betterpared to them. At least she had seen Ming Yue Cheng. Although only a few times, but she still had seen him. That handsome and imposing man was indeed what woman would idealize. But for some reason, she couldn¡¯t see anything rted to love in the eyes of Ming Yue Cheng.
When Ming Yue Cheng told her about her future¡¯s fate, Gu Yun Yao even saw a bit of indifference from Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes. She knew this indifference wasn¡¯t because she did anything wrong, but because of other reasons. Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t understand why this young emperor¡¯s eyes would be frozen like the mountains. Could it be that his heart was hurt?
These questions were only hovering in Gu Yun Yao¡¯s ear, she didn¡¯t say it out loud.
After everyone was ready, Gu Yun Yao joined the fifty-person group and slowly walked towards the main hall.
Under the sunlight, the capital in gold and jade in glorious splendor appeared more dignified. Lady-in-waiting candidates who were chit-chatting a moment ago, were now all holding their breath and quieted down. Each and every one was cautious, making their heart jumped into their throat.
Inparison, Gu Yun Yao seemed more rxed. She already knew the result of the hall selection. Although she didn¡¯t know why it was like this, but it would be fine if she just follow the orders of Ming Yue Cheng. Towards this benefactor, Gu Yun Yao had no other way of thanking him. She could only repay him with her own time in the future.
¡°Announce....¡±
The voice of Fu Er came from the hall. Thedy-in-waiting candidates walked into the hall in groups of five people.
Ming Yue Cheng sat upright on the dragon chair, ying with the amethyst prayer bead in his hand. His expression was very serious and the hall became chilly because of the aura that came from him.
In such a quiet environment, thosedy-in-waiting candidates all lowered their heads and didn¡¯t dare to look at Ming Yue Cheng who was sitting on the chair. The exciting appearance of before had all turned each and every one into a dignified appearance now.
Gu De who was next to Ming Yue Cheng looked at thedy-in-waiting candidates while also secretly nced at Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression. Until now, Gu De finally realized that their ¡°forced marriage¡± made Ming Yue Cheng unhappy. Confronted with so many exquisite women, there was no smile on his face and he was too solemn.
Ay...Gu De sighed in his heart. Although he didn¡¯t want to force Ming Yue Cheng, but one in this position would always be without freedom to act independently.
Without freedom to act independently: involuntarily/ in spite of oneself
Emperors always had inevitably many difficulties and things they had to do. Unless they took off their yellow robe. However, it wasn¡¯t easy to wear a yellow robe and it was even more difficult to take off the yellow robe. This was probably the tragedy of being an emperor since ancient times! The higher one is on the hierarchicaldder, the heavier the responsibilities one carries on the shoulders. One who chose the road of emperor, was doomed to be lonely....
¡°Withdraw....¡±
After waiting for a long time, Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak. Fu Er had no choice but to let people withdraw, and then a new group ofdy-in-waiting candidates came in.
¡°Withdraw....¡±
As the word ¡®withdraw¡¯ spread out, those beautiful girls who waited outside were more frightened. Already more than half of the people had entered, Ming Yue Cheng still didn¡¯t choose one. Was it that this young emperor had very high standards? Many people began to get nervous and there was even a candidate who fainted directly outside the hall.
Looking at the beautiful girl being carried down, Gu Yun Yao had some sympathy towards these noble women. So, it turned out that being born in a noble family wasn¡¯t actually so good! They carried the hope of too many families and also needed to devote their lives to live up to these expectations. It was really pitiful!
Finally, it was the turn of Gu Yun Yao¡¯s team. Following the pce¡¯s elder maid¡¯s teaching, Gu Yun Yao walked in naturally and poised.
The moment Ming Yue Cheng who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw Gu Yun Yao, he was absent-minded. Gu Yun Yao who was trained was more and more simr to the woman in his memory. Although the facial features of Gu Yun Yao couldn¡¯t bepared to Feng Qi Qi, but their expressions and their presence were very simr.
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Finally, Ming Yue Cheng said the first sentence in this hall selection.
¡°This subject¡¯s daughter Gu Yun Yao pays her greetings to Your Majesty. Long live ten thousand years, long live ten thousand years, my emperor!¡±
It was undeniable that Gu Yun Yao¡¯s gestures were very decent and on point. However, after hearing that ¡®long live ten thousand years, my emperor¡¯, Ming Yue Cheng woke up from his dream. How could this person be Qi Qi? Feng Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t say such things to him nor would she be so disciplined and respectful to him.
After a closer look, Gu Yun Yao and Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t resemble each other that much. Thinking till here, Ming Yue Cheng couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Was it because he missed her (FQQ) so much that he saw the shadow of Feng Qi Qi on Gu Yun Yao?

Chapter 192 The longing love that is not meant to be
¡°Your Majesty, Your majesty...¡± Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t speak for a long time, Fu Er tuned his face and looked at him. He discovered that Ming Yue Cheng was frowning. The amethyst bead slowly rolled over Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s fingertips. His mind seemed to have wandered to elsewhere.
¡°Your Majesty...¡±
Until when Fu Er called ¡°Your Majesty¡± for the third time did Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s minde back. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s prime minister¡¯s daughter. Not bad!¡± Ming Yue Cheng stood up and walked slowly to Gu Yun Yao. He spread her palms and ced the bead in her palm.
¡°You will be it! Zhen 1 likes your educated, well-bnced and cautious appearance. Zhen will bestow you with the letter ¡®Jin¡¯! in the future, you will be zhen¡¯s consort Jin!¡±
Jin (èª) means brilliance.
One sentence defined Gu Yun Yao¡¯s future. There was a moment that Gu Yun Yao thought she was dreaming. Until when Gu De¡¯s voice rang in her ears did she immediately knelt.
After selection of consorts only one woman rose above others, making the officials feel a sense of loss. Just when many people pined their hops on the next selection of consorts, Ming Yue Cheng issued an imperial decree to announce to the world, that in his whole life, his harem would only have one person, Gu Yun Yao.
This imperial decree caused a lot sensation in Nan Feng. At all times, the harem of the emperor was full.
The wealthy family had always had many wives and concubines not to mention an emperor of a country. However, now Ming Yue Cheng expressed that he want to leave the six pces without consorts. This was a really shocking news.
Many people spected that Ming Yue Cheng had a physical problem. More people expressed that they couldn¡¯t understand this matter. All the treasures of this world is his. Naturally, the beauties of this world is also his. Why did Ming Yue Cheng express that he only wanted to drink onedle worth of water from the Ruo river that is three thousand li long?
Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks onedle worth of water from it: there are so many potential lovers to choose from, but you only pick one from among those potential lovers.
Li: Chinese mile: 500 meters
Compared to these critics, the position of Ming Yue Cheng enhanced greatly in the hearts of women.
No matter what era, no woman was willing to share her husband with others. This imperial decree made all those women who were married and those who were about to be married be very envious of Gu Yun Yao. Only be one pair for the whole lifetimes was only a dream for the women of this era. Now, a dignified emperor put this dream into action, making people couldn¡¯t help but admire his courage and also envy Gu Yun Yao¡¯s happiness.
However, such a thing wasn¡¯t epted by those officials at the court who were adherent to old ideas. The imperial family valued heirs. The emperor only had one woman. What if this woman couldn¡¯t bear children? What if she only gives birth to daughters? Besides, if the emperor doesn¡¯t select consorts, their interest wouldn¡¯t be linked with that of the imperial family, leaving these people very uneasy.
So, not long after the imperial decree was announced, arge number of memorials were sent to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s imperial study. There were also officials who protested at the court. It was just, Ming Yue Cheng had already set his mind. So, naturally he didn¡¯t ept people opposing it. After cutting the heads of those who were opposing the fiercest, the matter of Ming Yue Cheng selecting consorts was stopped. Everyone saw the methods of this young emperor. No one mmed their hot head on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s sword.
After selecting the day, the whole pce was busy preparing for Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s wedding. Because this was the only wedding in his life, Gu De suggested to make it grand and lively. Originally, Ming Yue Cheng wanted to oppose it, but he wasn¡¯t able to win against Gu De who directly gestured with his hand to let the people go prepare.
During this period, Ming Yue Cheng only saw Gu Yun Yao once. Now, Gu Yun Yao became the happiest woman in Nan Feng! When the people from both the inside and the outside of the pce were envious of her, only Gu Yun Yao knew that this marriage was fake. This was her and Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s secret.
Gu Yun Yao never tried to guess the reason Ming Yue Cheng did this. To her, Ming Yue Cheng was her benefactor. Besides, he gave her such a good life. She should safeguard Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s everything, including his reputation. So, when everyone were making indirect approach in making inquiries about her and Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s matter, Gu Yun Yao had long prepared a pretext that allowed no one to find any ws.
Time went by day after day. The wedding was also approaching.
The entire pce was covered with red brightnterns. When evening came, thenterns were lit. Looking at them from a high ce, they looked like countless of fireflies fluttering in the nightly sky.
¡°Your Majesty, take some rest! Tomorrow is your wedding. You need to get up early!¡±
Fu Er stood beside Ming Yue Cheng. Until when the bell rang outside, Fu Er opened his mouth to persuade Ming Yue Cheng to rest.
¡°What time is it?¡±
¡°First of the five night watch periods (19:00-21:00).¡±
¡°Oh...Where is Feng Qi Qi?¡±
¡°She will arrive soon in the capital. It should be one of these two days?¡±
¡°Got it!¡±
Ming Yue Chengy on the bed and stared at the dragon and phoenix embroidery on the top of the canopy. His heart felt a bitplicated. In his heart he had an illusion, hoping that Feng Qi Qi could arrive on his wedding day and stop his wedding. Of course, this was only a dream in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart. Feng Qi Qi was with Feng Cang, plus they brought their child. This was the reality. No matter how he dreamed, he couldn¡¯t change the fact that Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang love each other.
Sleep, after sleeping everything would have gone by...Ming Yue Chengforted himself like this. Until when the bell of the third of the five night watch periods (23:00-01:00) rang did he fell asleep in a groggy state.
Early in the morning the next day, Fu Er helped Ming Yue Cheng get out of bed and prepare. Gu Yun Yao also began to dress up. The whole pce was full of joy. All of the officials who had a rank came to the pce to congratte on the wedding.
Although, Ming Yue Cheng only wed Gu Yun Yao as his only woman, but he only gave her the position of consort. So, Gu Yun Yao wasn¡¯t eligible to enjoy the treatment of an empress and also couldn¡¯t receive the rite from the officials in the main hall together with Ming Yue Cheng. She could only wait for Ming Yue Cheng at Qingluan pce.
Qingluan: greenish mythical bird rted to phoenix
The new emperor had married. The main hall was full of enthusiasm. Just when people were about to toast, someone came to report that Bei Zhou¡¯s regents brought princess Zhen Guo, the regent¡¯s shizi2, Xiaoyao wang3 and Xiaoyao wangfei4 toe congratte on the wedding.
Hearing that Feng Qi Qi hade, Ming Yue Cheng was so excited that half of the wine in the cup fell out. Only when Fu Er handed him a clean towel to wipe his hand did Ming Yue Cheng wake up.
When the officials of Nan Feng heard that Bei Zhou¡¯s regent and princess Zhen Guo came to congratte, they all looked at the entrance of the hall. These two people, one was hailed as the most handsome man of the world; the other was hailed as the most beautiful woman of the world. The people only had heard the rumors and haven¡¯t seen them in person. Now, this was an opportunity.
Not long after, they saw a few people walk in. the ones who appeared first before everyone¡¯s eyes was Feng Cang¡¯s family of three.
The man was dressed in white. From afar, he looked like an immortal. From close, he looked life half human half demon. Especially that pair of long and narrow eyes had a charm as if they could suck one¡¯s soul, making people not daring to look at them for fear that they would fall into them.
Looking at the woman, she seemed like a fire from afar, making people think that she would be a passionate person. They didn¡¯t expect that when she got closer, she was a refined woman like the fairy in heaven.
The appearances of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi alone left people in amazement. Wanyan Kang and Su Mei who appearedter also let people talk about them for a long time. although they weren¡¯t as shy as Feng Cang¡¯s pair, but the man was also handsome and the woman was beautiful.
¡°Congrattions to Your Majesty!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Ming Yue Cheng looked at Feng Cang and then looked at Feng Qi Qi. Atst, his gaze fell on Feng Xiao who was in Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Xiao er also came?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was Feng Xiao¡¯s godfather. Now, when looking at Feng Xiao, he felt more cordial. He went straight down and took Feng Xiao from Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Haven¡¯t seen you for a while. Xiao er has be more and more cute!¡±
When the officials saw that Ming Yue Cheng was so skilful at holding a baby, they all couldn¡¯t help but wonder. Even Gu De was surprised when seeing such a Ming Yue Cheng. However, aside from being surprised, Gu De was also very happy. It seemed that Ming Yue Cheng was very fond of children! It¡¯s good as long as he likes children. The blood of Nan Feng was able to continue on then!
How would Gu De know that the reason why Ming Yue Cheng likes Feng Xiao was very simple? It was just because he is the child of Feng Qi Qi.
The original lively party became livelier because of the addition of these honorable guests from Bei Zhou. Especially when Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi delivered the gifts, the atmosphere of the entire hall was heightened to the highest.
¡°This is something we asked Guanghua gongzi5 to specially design for Your Majesty and consort Jin. This set of jewelry is called Peacock Flying to the Southeast and is made from tourmaline.¡± While Feng Qi Qi spoke, she disyed this set of jewelry to the officials. This was a rare opportunity. As a good businesswoman, Feng Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t let go of any opportunity to promote Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang. Especially at such a ce. There were so many officials and aristocrats here, naturally she had to show off!
¡°So pretty!¡±
¡°What a wonderful piece of work!¡±
¡°So beautiful!¡±
The amazing thing about Tong Bao Zhai was that both men and women would find it breathtaking after they have seen it. Moreover, the jewelry that Tong Bao Zhai produced would always retain the jewelry¡¯s original form. On the basis of the original form, the jewelry would be molded with many natural elements to make it look stunning.
This set of Peacock Flying to the Southeast was entirely made of tourmaline. In particr, the peacock hairclip and feathers were all made with multicolored tourmaline. These were polished into small particles and then pieced together. It was very beautiful, making one have no choice but to love it.
Feng Qi Qi felt very happy when she saw the awe in everyone¡¯s eyes. After putting down the jewelry, she took out a splendid-looking set of clothes made by Tong Bao Zhai. The jewelry would be gifted to Gu Yun Yao, but this set of clothes was personally designed by Feng Qi Qi as a gift for Ming Yue Cheng.
Ming Yue Cheng had always liked purple, so Feng Qi Qi has made this set of clothes with severalyers of purple brocade. From the outer to the inneryers, there was a constant ovep of purple, the color went from shallow to deep, giving it a sense of prestige.
Everyone knew that Guanghua gongzi¡¯s designs were invaluable. Ming Yue Cheng got married now and Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi actually managed to ask Guanghua gongzi to make such a unique design for Ming Yue Cheng and Gu Yun Yao. It was enough to prove their sincerity to congratte the couple.
Of course, these people didn¡¯t know that the famous Guanghua gongzi was actually Feng Qi Qi herself.
At this moment, Ming Yue Cheng felt extremely happy in his heart. This was due to nothing else but Feng Qi Qi, because she had personally made a set of clothes for him. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there were many people here and that he was still at the banquet, he would have surely taken off his clothes and put on this set of purple clothes that Feng Qi Qi has made for him.
Wanyan Kang and Su Mei gifted the couple a pair of palm-sized jade carved lion, these were also priceless.
Bei Zhou¡¯s Regent and Xiaoyao wang came in person to congratte Ming Yue Cheng on his wedding day, this has truly shocked all the officials in Nan Feng. Although the officials knew that Ming Yue Cheng had an alliance with Bei Zhou, and that he had worked together with Bei Zhou to overthrow Xi Qi, they still didn¡¯t expect for Ming Yue Cheng to have such a good rtionship with the new power holders in Bei Zhou.
Dong Lu and Xi Qi became history, so Bei Zhou and Nan Feng became the only two countries coexisting on the continent. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. As soon as Bei Zhou had overthrown Dong Lu and Nan Feng overthrew Xi Qi, some people started to think that maybe in ten years¡¯ time, these two big countries would start a war against each other.
One mountain cannot contain two tigers: in an area, there cannot be two very strong personality people leading. Just like in a mountain, there will only be one king, one leader.
However, now that the officials have seen their friendship, their doubt have dispelled. Truth to be told, no one was willing to go to war. Everyone hoped to live a stable and happy life. Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s behavior after he had ascended the throne made some officials misunderstand his intentions, they thought that their sovereign had the ambition to take over the entire world. But now that they have seen their friendship with their own eyes, they could finally be at ease.
Fu Er already arranged a spot for Feng Cang and the rest before they arrived, he left them the most honorable seats. The music and dance started to y the moment the four of them sat down.
A while ago, Ming Yue Cheng took Feng Xiao and has been holding him in his arms ever since. Feng Xiao seemed to be particrly fond of him (MYC), he didn¡¯t cry nor made any noise. When Ming Yue Cheng teased him, he wouldugh and smile. That innocentughter was spread to everyone¡¯s ears and as a result, improved everyone¡¯s mood.
¡°Looks like Xiao er is very fond of me!¡± Ming Yue Cheng waited until the song and dance had ended, before he reluctantly gave Feng Xiao back to Feng Qi Qi.
¡°You are his godfather, so he naturally likes you!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was very satisfied with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s answer. Although the two of them couldn¡¯t be together in this lifetime, he could still be the godfather of her children and this rtionship would let them always be in touch.
There were many people present, so Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t chat with Feng Qi Qi for long. He returned to his dragon chair and stared at the singing and dancing on the stage instead, disying a behavior of a newlywed emperor.
Gu De was the only one constantly staring at Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi sitting in front of him.
Gu De had already received Gu Yun Wan letter before this. In the letter, she had mentioned Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s matter. She also mentioned the child gu inside Feng Xiao¡¯s body. Gu De knew that the couple came this time to cure their son¡¯s gu. He (GD) had nced at Feng Xiao earlier and discovered that he (FX) was really as cute and adorable as Gu Yun Wan had described. It was truly a pity for such a small child to have a gu inside his body.
What Gu De found surprising was the fact that Feng Xiao seemed to be a bit different. Usually, people who had the gu inside their body would show a somewhat unhealthy state. It didn¡¯t matter if it was theirplexion or their eyesight, it would look abnormal. Even adults would be like this, let alone a child.
Children had a weak resistance to begin with, so if someone poisoned them with the gu then their tolerance would be even worse. He had encountered children who had been poisoned with the gu before. All of them were emaciated and looked petite. Moreover, they were dispirited and downcast, and kept crying incessantly.
Dispirited and downcast: in low spirits
However, these conditions didn¡¯t show up for Feng Xiao. Gu De had nced at him earlier and saw that he (FX) was plump and healthy. He was very cute and adorable, was he really poisoned with the gu?

Gu De had doubts in his heart. He didn¡¯t show his doubts as he is now at the pce banquet for Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s wedding.
It was lively at the main hall. The indistinctive smile of Ming Yue Cheng looked unusually mysterious under the dazzling light. Although his eyes were watching the singing and dancing on the stage, he was actually looking at Feng Qi Qi all along.
After not seeing for a long time, she was more beautiful. Every frown and every smile naturally revealed nobleness. Even if she was only sitting, it was the most beautiful scenery at the scene.
However, there was already a man at her side. This was something that Ming Yue Cheng could never rece. It could only be a missed chance in this life!
Even if Ming Yue Cheng hoped in his heart that time would freeze at this moment, but the good times always passed quickly. After the banquet ended, he had to go to Qingluan Pce.
Before leaving, Ming Yue Cheng looked deeply at Feng Qi Qi once again as if he could engrave her smile into his heart.
¡°Arrange to go to Qingluan Pce....¡±
The voice of Fu Er came. Ming Yue Cheng seemed to hear a long sigh in the air. He looked up but he didn¡¯t see anyone. Only a slight breeze blew past his ear. Could it be that the wind took pity on his sadness? So that was why it made such a long sigh?
At Qingluan Pce, Gu Yun Yao was dressed in a tangerine-red color wedding dress and quietly sat in the room.
Gu Yun Yao could vaguely see the furnishings in the room through the red veil. Because she was consort Jin and not the empress, she couldn¡¯t use the bright red color. Even if she was married, she could only wear tangerine-red color. However, she was content in her heart. This marriage was originally a pretense. It was fake, so there was no need to care about those things.
She didn¡¯t know for how long she had been waiting until a voice ¡®the emperor had arrived¡¯ spread to Gu Yun Yao¡¯s ears. The pce maids inside the room quickly went to the door to kneel down and greet the emperor with long live the emperor. Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t say anything unnecessary. It was just a ¡®stand up¡¯ to let them withdraw, leaving only Fu Er.
¡°Long live Your Majesty!¡±
¡°Hm! Take off the veil and eat something. You must be very hungry.¡±
Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t take off the veil for Gu Yun Yao. Instead, he sat down directly and poured tea for himself.
Inside Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart, he still stubbornly persisted that one heart is for one person. His heart was given to Feng Qi Qi, so it was absolutely impossible to amodate another person. He took an imperial consort now because it was only his duty to the country. It wasn¡¯t his wish. Moreover, he wouldn¡¯t really do the wedding ceremony and drank the nuptial cup of wine with Gu Yun Yao. Let aloneplete the wedding night.
After Gu Yun Yao took off the veil, she came to Ming Yue Cheng and greeted him.
¡°Sit!¡±
After Gu Yun Yao sat down, Fu Er went to the bed and picked up the white satin cloth. He pulled out a porcin bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled something on the white satin cloth.
Seeing Fu Er doing so, Gu Yun Yao was a bit surprised but that didn¡¯t mean that she didn¡¯t understand anything. Before the marriage, the pce¡¯s maid had already taught her this aspect of knowledge. It was just seeing Fu Er doing this now, made Gu Yun Yao blush.
When Fu Er finished everything and retreated, Ming Yue Cheng then began to speak: ¡°How was it? Still used to it, right!¡±
¡°This subject wife is doing very well. Thanks Your Majesty for your concern!¡±
When Gu Yun Yao said these words, Ming Yue Cheng knew that he had found a very suitable person. Gu Yun Yao was very clever, but her cleverness was different from other people¡¯s showing off and many other things. She knew what couldn¡¯t be done and what couldn¡¯t be said.
Looking at this young face in front of him, Ming Yue Cheng nodded slightly. ¡°It¡¯s good that you like it! Zhen won¡¯t dy you too much. After a few years, zhen1 will find the right time to arrange your fake death. At that time, you¡¯ll be given a new identity. You can get away from the imperial pce and start a new life.¡±
What Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t expect was that Ming Yue Cheng had thought about every step. From the selection of consorts to the big wedding, and even her future was arranged. In this way, she only needed to follow hismands and cooperated with the actions of Ming Yue Cheng. However, Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t understand why Ming Yue Cheng did so! Wasn¡¯t he an emperor? The world was his. Since he didn¡¯t want to take an empress or consort, why couldn¡¯t he decide this matter himself?!
Ming Yue Cheng seemed to see Gu Yun Yao¡¯s perplexity and put down the teacup.
¡°Don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve ever heard a saying, ¡®When in the jianghu2, one can¡¯t act ording to his wishes¡¯. In fact, this kind of not being able to act ording to one¡¯s wishes wasn¡¯t only found in the jianghu. People like zhen who stand at the top, also have many constraints. The emperor isn¡¯t a man who does whatever he likes. Many moments, zhen has no choice but to do something that zhen doesn¡¯t like.¡±
Speaking till here, Ming Yue Cheng thought of Feng Qi Qi. In any way, she came over today and also sent a gift which she personally made. This was already the greatest satisfaction in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s point of view.
Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t know what Ming Yue Cheng was thinking. At this moment, she clearly saw a smile from the lips of Ming Yue Cheng. This smile was rare to Gu Yun Yao. At least the times that she had met Ming Yue Cheng, she had never seen such an obvious smile on his face.
Don¡¯t know who this smile was for?
After Ming Yue Cheng had said these, Gu Yun Yao had some sympathy for this young emperor in front of her. The world thought that the supreme was no one other than the emperor. However, Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t see the slightest joy and happiness from Ming Yue Cheng. Instead, she felt heavy responsibility and pressure.
Looking at his smile from just now, he must have remembered someone or something. People who were able to make Ming Yue Cheng so joyful, must upy a very important position in the heart of Ming Yue Cheng. Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t understand. Since he liked her, why couldn¡¯t they be together? Was it status or something else?
Ming Yue Cheng was so smart. How couldn¡¯t he know what Gu Yun Yao was thinking? She was only fifteen and was still at the age of innocence. He shouldn¡¯t have let her fall into this heavy whirlpool.
¡°Let¡¯s drink! Zhen really wants to drink today!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng made Fu Er fetch a wine jar. On this day, he suddenly wanted to get himself drunk. He didn¡¯t wait for Gu Yun Yao to speak and immediately started to drink the wine.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became particrly weird. Gu Yun Yao sat beside Ming Yue Cheng and watched him drinking in mouthfuls, but she couldn¡¯t say any words offort. She wasn¡¯t anyone to him, nor could she solve the pain in his heart. Instead of doing so, it was better to sit quietly and look after him after he was drunk.
As expected, after drinking one jug of wine, Ming Yue Cheng was drunk on the table. He originally was a good drinker but didn¡¯t know why he was so drunk today. Fu Er and Gu Yun Yao supported Ming Yue Cheng to the bed. Fu Er personally took off Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s clothes and covered him with the quilt.
¡°Consort, His Majesty is drunk, you see....¡±
Fu Er¡¯s expression was a bit awkward. There was only one bed in the room. Should he let Gu Yun Yao sleep on the bed? Then wouldn¡¯t it be fake y turned into reality at that time?
¡°Eunuch Fu, I¡¯ll just lean at the side! I¡¯m afraid the emperor wants to drink water at night!¡±
Gu Yun Yao was so thoughtful that Fu Er nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the emperor did choose a clever and quick-witted girl. He hoped that she would never change.
¡°Eunuch Fu, you sit down too!¡± Gu Yun Yao signaled for Fu Er to sit down and looked at the sleeping face of Ming Yue Cheng. She then started talking, ¡°Eunuch Fu, I¡¯ve heard that His Majesty¡¯s capacity for liquor is very good. Why is he already drunk after only one jug of wine today?¡±
Fu Er had some difficulty answering this question. Should he tell Gu Yun Yao that Ming Yue Cheng was actually drinking away his sorrows? After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Er gave a smooth answer. ¡°His Majesty had also drunk a lot of wine at the banquet. Moreover, it was easy to get drunk on an empty stomach.¡±
¡°Oh....¡± Gu Yun Yao wasn¡¯t stupid. She knew that Fu Er¡¯s answer was just half-heartedly. She admired Fu Er¡¯s loyalty to Ming Yue Cheng.
¡°Qi Qi, don¡¯t go....¡± Just at this moment, Ming Yue Cheng frowned and said Feng Qi Qi¡¯s name, ¡°Qi Qi, I only made one wrong step, Qi Qi....¡±
The doubts in Gu Yun Yao¡¯s heart just now had been answered from the sleep talking of Ming Yue Cheng. Qi Qi? Could it be that she was the woman who lived in the heart of Ming Yue Cheng?
In one night, Ming Yue Cheng was talking nonsense while Gu Yun Yao and Fu Er were guarding the night. After the morning came, Ming Yue Cheng slowly opened his eyes. He had some headache. The sunshine through the window was unusually dazzling. After waiting for a while, Ming Yue Cheng got used to it.
¡°Your Majesty, you¡¯re awake?¡± Fu Er heard the sound of the bed and quickly came to serve.
¡°Fu Er, zhen wants to take a bath!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Fu Er immediately went to prepare. Soon afterwards, Ming Yue Cheng was lying in a warm pool. The temperature of the water was a little hot but it was the temperature that Ming Yue Cheng liked. He closed his eyes and leaned against the pool: ¡°Zhen didn¡¯t do anything out of character yesterday?¡±
¡°No. Consort Jin has been taking care of you, and this ve was also guarding at the side! However....¡± After saying that, Fu Er hesitated. But in the end, he (FE) told Ming Yue Cheng the matter about his sleep talking. ¡°You have been calling Feng Qi Qi¡¯s name.¡±
¡°She heard?¡±
¡°She heard but didn¡¯t say anything.¡±
¡°Heh...Fu Er, zhen wants to stay alone for a while.¡±
After hearing this, Fu Er retreated. Ming Yue Cheng was the only one left in therge room. He dived into the pool and wrapped himself in the hot water, making him feel like he was back in the mother¡¯s womb. Those warm waters stimted the pores of his whole body, making him rxed.
He was actually drunk and was saying the name of Feng Qi Qi.... Ming Yue Cheng closed his eyes and recalled the things that happenedst night. One by one, the bubbles were spit out of his mouth. A series of bubbles flocked to the surface of the water. These bubbles exploded on the surface of the water and rippled in circles. They spread from the center of the pool, drawing circles like an annual ring and rushed to the shore.
¡°Blub blub....¡±
Ming Yue Cheng suddenly came out of the water and stood in the middle of the pool. The water which emitted hot air was till his pelvis. His hair was dripping wet and stuck on his strong back. Drops were dripping along his spine to the buttock and then into the water. Along with the waves, it spread in hot water and diffused like ck algae.
The sunlight came through the window and fell on the water. Ming Yue Cheng wiped the water from his face. The missed water drops slid down his cheeks to the concave in the middle of his chin. They formed a droplet that was sparkling and translucent under the sunlight; refusing to drop.
Let go! Ming Yue Cheng! Don¡¯t tangle anymore in those happiness that you wouldn¡¯t be able to get! One of the two of them (MYC & FQQ) should be happy! If there was only one option, he would rather let her happy forever!
Ming Yue Cheng secretly said these words to himself. After finishing, he fiercely swam to the edge of the pool and went up the shore.
¡°Fu Er, get people to prepare. Zhen wants to go to the prime minister¡¯s residence!¡± Ming Yue Cheng wiped off the water from his body. After changing his clothes, he left Qingluan Pce.
After waiting for Ming Yue Cheng to leave, the pce¡¯s elder maids came over. They took the white satin cloth that had the blood on it and congratted Gu Yun Yao over and over again. Then, they retreated. In a moment, everyone in the pce knew that the emperor and consort Jin had consummated their marriage. Presumably, it wouldn¡¯t be long that a little prince or little princess would be born in the pce!

Chapter 193 (part 2) The conditions to the rid of the gu
After Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Jin Mo came to the capital of Nan Feng, they stayed at the prime minister¡¯s residence. This wasn¡¯t the idea of Gu De, but it was the decision of Gu Yun Wan. In this regard, Gu De didn¡¯t express any unwillingness. It was fine as long his daughter liked it.
¡°Dad, go help Feng Qi Qi!¡±
He had three days off because of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s marriage, so he didn¡¯t have to get up early to go to the court. Just after he got up in the morning, he was pestered by Gu Yun Wan. She wanted him to cure the gu of Feng Xiao.
¡°Brat, you¡¯re giving me a headache!¡± Gu De only had this daughter and she had gone out for so long. When she came back, it wasn¡¯t to deepen their father-daughter rtionship, instead, she tried to protect the outsiders, making Gu De somewhat jealous.
¡°Dad, do you have a headache? I¡¯ll massage it for you!¡±
Gu Yun Wan quickly supported Gu De to sit down. She then put her small hand on Gu De¡¯s temple and gently massaged it, ¡°Dad, how is it? Is itfortable?¡±
¡°Hm, not bad!¡± Gu De smilingly touched his chin while enjoying, ¡°It¡¯s good to have a daughter! The daughter is caring!¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that dad likes it! Oh, by the way, dad, what is with Gu Yun Yao? When did you got an adopted daughter? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡± Gu Yun Wan massaged while poured out all the questions that kept her confused these days.
After hearing this, Gu De sighed. How could he talk to others about Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s thoughts? But looking at his daughter, Gu De had some regrets. He once wanted to y matchmaker for Gu Yun Wan and Ming Yue Cheng. However, these two people didn¡¯t feel attracted to each other. Without feelings even if he worried helplessly, it wouldn¡¯t do.
¡°Dad, say something!¡±
¡°I just recently adopted her. I feel that she¡¯s a smart child, so I epted her as my adopted daughter.¡±
¡°Oh....¡± Gu Yun Wan lengthened her voice. Gu De thought that his daughter regretted this moment, that she began to understand about the matters of love and was a little jealous because of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s marriage. Gu De was secretly delighted and wanted to continue to make Gu Yun Wan and Ming Yue Cheng a pair but he didn¡¯t expect that Gu Yun Wan said another thing.
¡°Dad, since you can ept a stranger as adopted daughter, why don¡¯t you ept Feng Qi Qi as adopted daughter? In that case, if you think of Feng Qi Qi as our Qiang tribe¡¯s people, then you can help Feng Xiao cure the gu!¡±
After listening to these words, Gu De¡¯s inted heart of just a moment ago was now like a deted ball: ¡°Brat, is Feng Qi Qi so great? Why do you always help an outsider?¡±
¡°Qi Qi isn¡¯t an outsider! She¡¯s my little sister! I have already recognized princess Ming Yue as adopted mother. Now, Feng Qi Qi is my, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s, little sister. Since she has difficulties, of course, I have to help!¡±
Gu Yun Wan said these clearly and logically, made Gu De have a headache: ¡°Friendship is one thing, the tribe¡¯s rules can¡¯t be changed! Your father is the chief of the Qiang¡¯s tribe. If I make exceptions, what will the tribe¡¯s people say? How will I manage the Qiang¡¯s tribe in the future?¡±
¡°Dad....¡± Gu Yun Wan knew that Gu De was telling the truth, but she just wanted to help Feng Cang and the others as much as possible.
¡°Master, miss, His Majesty hase.¡±
At this moment, the housekeeper came hurriedly. As soon as Gu De heard that Ming Yue Cheng came over, he was somewhat puzzled. On the first day of marriage, Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t keep Gu Yun Yaopany in the Qingluan Pce, instead he (MYC) came here? In spite of his confusion, Gu De still immediately got up and went to the door to wee Ming Yue Cheng. Gu Yun Wan hadn¡¯t seen Ming Yue Cheng for a long time, so she also followed.
¡°Your Majesty....¡±
¡°Uncle Gu De, today there¡¯s no majesty but only me.¡±
The words of Ming Yue Cheng made Gu De smile, ¡°Please....¡± Gu De led the way while Ming Yue Cheng walked behind.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, congrattions!¡± When Gu Yun Wan saw Ming Yue Cheng, she pped on his shoulder, ¡°Why did you run away on your newlywed days? Wouldn¡¯t that consort Jin get angry?¡±
¡°Wan er1! Don¡¯t be so impolite!¡± Gu De quickly scolded Gu Yun Wan, when she spoke to Ming Yue Cheng like this. But there was no reprimand in his words, instead there was strong pampering.
¡°Dad, he said that today there¡¯s no emperor or majesty but only you and me! Right, Ming Yue Cheng?!¡±
¡°Right! It was indeed what I said.¡±
¡°Emperor, she is spoiled by this subject and doesn¡¯t follow the rules. You must not me her.¡± Seeing the ¡®interaction¡¯ between Gu Yun Wan and Ming Yue Cheng, Gu De was happy but also worried.
In Gu De¡¯s point of view, Ming Yue Cheng treated Gu Yun Wan different. However, this difference was limited to the friendship between buddies and not the love between men and women. In addition, Gu Yun Wan¡¯s personality was carefree. She wasn¡¯t yet enlightened on the matter of love. This made him, the father, very frustrated.
Furthermore, the identity of Gu Yun Wan was a very awkward matter. She is the empress dowager of Nan Feng and could be regarded as Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s empress mother. It was impossible to erase that past.
Even if Gu Yun Wan was still a pure and clean woman, but the title ¡®empress dowager¡¯ had already broken Gu Yun Wan¡¯s luck in love. Whether it was following Ming Yue Cheng or marrying someone else, it wasn¡¯t quite right. Regarding his only daughter¡¯s happiness, Gu De was very worried. However, there was nothing to be done. He could only let nature take its course.
To let nature take its course: go with the flow
¡°Dad, can¡¯t you rx a little? You two had been a ruler and a minister for so long at the court. Now you¡¯re here, why do you still want to be like that? How awkward is it!¡±
¡°Uncle Gu De, Wan er is right! At the court, I¡¯m the emperor, you¡¯re the minister. But at the prime minister¡¯s residence still being emperor and minister, isn¡¯t it too tired? Could it be that uncle Gu De wants to deprive me of my only ce to rx?¡±
The tone of Ming Yue Cheng made Gu Deugh. Since Ming Yue Cheng regarded the prime minister¡¯s residence as a ce that would make him rxed, this should be his honor (GD). ¡°Cheng er, let¡¯s go this way!¡±
A ¡®Cheng er¡¯ reminded Ming Yue Cheng of his childhood. Gu De used to call him like that too. It seemed that after he became the emperor, he hadn¡¯t heard that ever since. Having an elder who could call himself in such a way and his words revealed concerns was really a thing worth cherishing for anyone.
Since Ming Yue Cheng came over, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi and the others were also invited over.
¡°Feng Cang, long time no see! Ah Kang, I heard you got married, congrattions!¡± Seeing these friends from Bei Zhou, Ming Yue Cheng was in a good mood. Wanyan Kang smilingly came over and punched Ming Yue Cheng lightly. ¡°You¡¯re not bad too! You¡¯ve also got a beautiful woman! Today is your first day of marriage, why did you leave your beauty and came here? Is it because you want to see us?¡±
The thoughtless words of Wanyan Kang made Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t know whether he shouldugh or cry, ¡°There are friendsing from afar, that¡¯s a joy! You guys havee all the way to my wedding. Of course, I have to act as the host!¡±
¡°Great!¡± Wanyan Kang pulled Su Mei to the front of Ming Yue Cheng and gave him an introduction. ¡°This is my wifey!¡±
¡®Wifey¡¯ was the folk¡¯s way of addressing the wife. Didn¡¯t expect that Wanyan Kang, a wangye2 actually used this word to describe Su Mei. Seeing this lovey-dovey couple, Ming Yue Cheng was truly happy for Wanyan Kang. Beside happy, he was a bit sad too. Everyone was paired up and only he was alone. Was fate ying against him?
¡°Woo....¡± The child in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s arms was ¡®babbling¡¯ now. He seemed to be particrly happy when he saw Ming Yue Cheng. The small hands waved and the chubby little fingers were like mature beans.
¡°Feng Xiao is still the smartest, knowing that adopted father ising! Let adopted father hold you!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng went to Feng Qi Qi and reached out his hands, but his eyes kept looking at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face. There wasn¡¯t much difference. She was still beautiful like morning dew, pure and clean. Childbearing didn¡¯t change her. Instead, it gave Feng Qi Qi a more maternal brilliance, making people indulge in her more.
¡°Yaya....¡± As soon as Feng Xiao started ¡®talking¡¯ in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s arms, Ming Yue Cheng lowered his head. Feng Xiao¡¯s beautiful big eyes had been wandering around this adopted father¡¯s face and his eyes were full of curiosity. Ming Yue Cheng originally had no special feelings for children, but Feng Xiao was different from ordinary children.
First, Feng Xiao was really cute and lovely. He looked beautiful, didn¡¯t cry, and was always cheerful. Watching him was a joy; the second and the most important reason was that Feng Xiao was the son of his beloved woman. Ming Yue Cheng could see Feng Qi Qi¡¯s shadow from Feng Xiao.
¡°Is Xiao er talking to adopted father? Does Xiao er like adopted father?
¡°Wo...keke....¡± Feng Xiao grabbed the dangled hair of Ming Yue Cheng and twisted the hair in his white finger. He let Ming Yue Cheng directly know with his actions that he (MYC) looked very pleasing to his (FX) eyes.
Feng Xiao¡¯s performance made Feng Cang, the father, eat a full jar of vinegar. Usually, he didn¡¯t see this brat like him or anything, but how could Feng Xiao smile so happy when he sees Ming Yue Cheng? He was really someone eating inside while wanting to go outside!
Eating inside while wanting to go outside: live on somebody while helping others secretly/ to bite the hands that feed you
Gu De had been standing at the side. Only when he saw how Ming Yue Cheng looked at Feng Qi Qi, did Gu De suddenly realized. It turned out he (MYC) did it for her?!
This judgement made Gu De distracted for a full ten seconds before recovering. He was really too surprised! It turned out that the woman Ming Yue Cheng admired was Feng Qi Qi?! A married woman, the wangfei3 of Bei Zhou¡¯s Regent? How was this news not shocking?!
No wonder that Ming Yue Cheng would create a Gu Yun Yao to let him recognize her as daughter and announced there would be no harem. Could it be that these were diversionary tactics? He did all that because of Feng Qi Qi?
For a moment, Gu De had some difficulty epting this result.
Tracing back the source of this ill-fated rtionship, it should be at the time in Xi Qi before Feng Qi Qi got married. No wonder that soon after the ascension to the throne Ming Yue Cheng went to Bei Zhou. No wonder he would send troops to Xi Qi when Bei Zhou was attacked from three sides. He must know that Nan Feng wasn¡¯t stable at that time and sending troops took great risks. In case of defeat, it would be the danger of destroying the country. Even though the final result was that they won.
Gu De didn¡¯t know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He simply dragged Gu Yun Wan to a remote area and grabbed her for questioning.
¡°Did you know?¡±
¡°Dad, know what?¡±
¡°The matter about His Majesty liking Feng Qi Qi.¡±
¡°I know!¡± Gu Yun Wan looked at Gu De in a puzzled way, ¡°Is there anything wrong? Feng Qi Qi is so beautiful and so nice. If I were a man, I would also like her!¡±
¡°Foolish!¡±
Gu De pointed to Gu Yun Wan and his fingers trembled. He sighed atst and dropped his hands. ¡°What happened, dad?¡± Gu Yun Wan didn¡¯t understand why Gu De was so excited.
¡°Ay, you don¡¯t understand! The people of Miao are famous for their faithfulness. The Miao family is a big family in the Qiang tribe, but the poption isn¡¯t so prosperous. The reason is that the Miao family has produced devoted people for generations. All Miao people have only one partner and are loyal to their partners for the rest of their lives.¡±
¡°His Majesty¡¯s mother, Miao Chu Yun, it was exactly because she fell in love with the emperor that she came to the imperial pce. In the end, what she got was deceit and betrayal. Ming Yue Cheng inherited his infatuation from his mother. He will stick to loving only one person. If Ming Yue Cheng is an ordinary man, it¡¯s alright. However, he¡¯s the emperor of the country. This won¡¯t do!¡±
Gu De said so. Gu Yun Wan gradually understood her father¡¯s worries. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s not such a wicked thing as you say! Ming Yue Cheng is also the descendant of the previous emperor. The previous emperor was really a promiscuous person....¡±
¡°He won¡¯t. Ming Yue Cheng is not such a person.¡±
The thought of Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s marriage with Gu Yun Yao was merely a ¡®cover-up¡¯ that deceived the people of the whole country, made Gu De repent. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn¡¯t be so eager to force Ming Yue Cheng to select consorts. Now, it was really turning cleverness into stupidity. Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s stubborn temper was very simr to Miao Chu Yun¡¯s. It seemed that this matter had to be considered at length.
Turn cleverness into stupidity: shoot oneself in the foot/ to overreach oneself
When Gu De and Gu Yun Wan came back, Ming Yue Cheng was still holding Feng Xiao. From the perspective of Gu De, Ming Yue Cheng was like a loving father holding a child. As if the child wasn¡¯t of Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang, but his and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child.
Seeing such a scene, Gu De sighed. It seemed that Ming Yue Cheng was already deep in love. But continuing like this, wouldn¡¯t Nan Feng have no sessor?
¡°Uncle Gu De,e see my adopted son, Feng Xiao!¡± Ming Yue Cheng let Gu Dee over and carefully ced Feng Xiao in Gu De¡¯s arms. ¡°Isn¡¯t my adopted son very cute?¡±
¡°Keke...yiya....¡±
Seeing the person who held him changed, Feng Xiao rolled his big eyes. He stared at Gu De¡¯s face and waved his small hands as if he was greeting Gu De.
This child was so cute that Gu De¡¯s face finally showed a smile: ¡°He¡¯s indeed very cute!¡±
¡°It¡¯s just that such a lovely child has a child gu in his body and will be tortured by the gu poison in the future. Uncle Gu De, don¡¯t you think this is a very cruel thing?¡± Ming Yue Cheng put his finger into Feng¡¯s Xiao¡¯s little hand. Feng Xiao then grabbed his (MYC) finger and put it into his mouth.
¡°Dirty, you can¡¯t eat!¡± Ming Yue Cheng took out his finger and held Feng Xiao¡¯s little hand. ¡°Xiao er, this is grandpa Gu! Let¡¯s say hello to grandpa Gu!¡±
Feng Xiao looked at Ming Yue Cheng and turned to Gu De again, then a ¡®woeh....¡¯ came from his mouth. After hearing that, Ming Yue Chengughed hard. ¡°Look, Xiao er is calling you!¡±
¡°Hehe....¡± Gu Deughing at this moment wasn¡¯t right but notughing was also not right.
After confirming that Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s beloved was Feng Qi Qi, Gu De was able to see all this clearly. Ming Yue Cheng was trying so hard now, was nothing more than hoping that he would cure Feng Xiao¡¯s gu. This man was really infatuated to the extreme! Obviously, that woman was married to other. He actually still tried to help her child with all his heart and soul. Ay, he really didn¡¯t know if Ming Yue Cheng doing so was worth it.
¡°Prime minister Gu, I¡¯m Feng Cang!¡±
Feng Cang, who was quiet for a while, came with Feng Qi Qi to the front of Gu De. ¡°If you can help our child to get rid of its gu poison, as long as this I can do, even if it¡¯s the stars in the sky, I will pick it for you!¡±
Gu De had previously learned about Feng Cang. He knew that this man was a dragon among the people, and was equally matched as Ming Yue Cheng. After seeing the real person, although Gu De favored Ming Yue Cheng in his heart, but he had to admit that Feng Cang was even better.
This man¡¯s spirit was very strong and you could feel that aura just by standing beside him.
¡°The regent hase all the way to get rid of little shizi¡¯s4 gu. This old man had already heard from Wan er. However, Qiang tribe had its own rules. I can¡¯t ignore the tribe¡¯s rules because of personal feelings. Regent, please don¡¯t make things difficult for this old man.¡±
Gu De said it very clear that no matter who Feng Cang was, regardless of how the feelings between Feng Qi Qi and Gu Yun Wan was, or even how much Ming Yue Cheng wanted to help, rules were rules and shouldn¡¯t be changed because of the ways of people.
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi could understand this point very well: ¡°Prime minister, I¡¯m not letting you break the tribe¡¯s rules. I just want to find a solution. Miss little Wan mentioned to us the conditions of Qiang tribe to cure the gu. We must go through three tests: mount the mountains of daggers, go through the sea of mes and enter the dragon pool. As long as you can cure Xiao er, let alone three tests, even if it was ten tests, I, Feng Cang, will never frown!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words were loud and very manly. Gu De had to admire this devilish beautiful man. Even if Feng Cang looked very young, Gu De believed that he was that kind of person who kept his promise. How could a man who was all-powerful and famous in the world be a cowardly rat?!
¡°Good! The regent is so straightforward that this old man also won¡¯t conceal anything from you. The world knows that we, the Qiang people are good at using gu. Since the beginning of history, the Qiang tribe¡¯s people began to raise gu. As long as it¡¯s gu poison, you can find solutions in the Qiang tribe. However, we also have our own rules.¡±
¡°Because raising gu is never divulged to outsiders, so the world¡¯s gu poisons are done by our Qiang people. Out of respect for the people of the tribe, we won¡¯t easily help outsiders cure the poison. To cure the poison, you must go through three tests. That is, as you just said mount the mountains of daggers, go through the sea of mes and enter the dragon pool.
¡°Only passing the three tests and find the millennium sturgeon in the dragon pool will we help people cure the gu. For hundreds of years, only a handful of people have passed the three tests. A lot of people are buried in the dragon pool in the end. If the regent wants to cure the gu for little shizi, then please think clearly. Life isn¡¯t child¡¯s y!¡±

Chapter 194 The only Immortal Cream
¡°No need to think about it. I came this time to cure Xiao er¡¯s gu. I will do all these three conditions; no matter how difficult they are!¡±
Feng Cang said these very firmly. Gu De nodded. ¡°Since regent is already ready, then let¡¯s go to the White Bird mountain tomorrow!¡±
The White Bird mountain was the nestling ce of the Qiang tribe. It¡¯s located at the southwest of Nan Feng and it¡¯s half a month away from the capital. There, the mountain road was rugged and very difficult to travel on. Plus, the fact, that it was spring, the rain was more abundant. The dirt road soaked with rain had became muddy. It was even more difficult to walk on. However, since Feng Cang came, Gu De still had to take them to the White Bird mountain.
¡°I¡¯m also going,¡± Ming Yue Cheng said. His words strengthened the assessment Gu De had about him. It seemed that Ming Yue Cheng had fallen deeply in love. This matter would be troublesome.
¡°Your Majesty, if you go, who will take care of the affairs of the country?¡± From Gu De¡¯s perspective, he didn¡¯t want Ming Yue Cheng ¡®getting too close¡¯ to Feng Qi Qi. After all, Feng Qi Qi was a married woman. Besides, Feng Cang¡¯s reputation was so great.
If by chance, Feng Cang got to know this and misunderstood, then what?
Nan Feng had just entered the stable stage and needs stability to develop. It couldn¡¯t withstand the extra waves. Feng Cang is Bei Zhou¡¯s regent and held the power of life and death. If two dragons fight for one phoenix, the result would only be that both sides would suffer. Gu De didn¡¯t want to see such an oue.
¡°It¡¯s alright. Take it as if I¡¯m going to try to understand the people¡¯s sentiments. I will read the memorials on the road. It will definitely not affect anything!¡±
¡°Your Majesty...¡± Gu de didn¡¯t expect that Ming Yue Cheng was so stubborn. He was about to discourage him (MYC) when he was stopped by Ming Yue Cheng. ¡°Uncle Gu De, it¡¯s set like this! I will now let people go prepare. Depart as soon as possible!¡±
A few sentences from Ming Yue Cheng blocked Gu De¡¯s next move. He smiled helplessly. This matter could only be done ording to Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s wishes.
From the beginning to the end, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t talk much. She just took Feng Xiao from Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s arms and, quietly stood beside Feng Cang and yed the role of a good wife and mother.
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s quietness was not quite in line with her rumored image. This somewhat puzzled Gu De. At least, when Feng Cang opened new territory at Dong Lu, Feng Qi Qi yed a very important role behind him. Because of her, the military grains and supplies were continuously sent to Dong Lu. That was why Feng Cang could progress so smoothly.
Especially that ¡®empty city stratagem¡¯; now this had spread across the entire continent. Feng Qi Qi used a hundred people to scare away Dong Lu¡¯s army that was a few times more than theirs. This matter would certainly be recorded in history and even be put in the book of war.
Gu De had never imagined that such a radiance image would be linked to this beautiful and gentle woman in front of him. At this time, Feng Qi Qi sung a luby in a low voice to coax Feng Xiao into sleep. The brilliance of a mother emitted from her body which waspletely inconsistent with her rumored image. Could it be that the rumors were false?
How would Gu De know that after bing a mother, Feng Qi Qi restrained her radiance?
However, such a Feng Qi Qi let Gu De have a very good impression of her. because now, she had the image of a good wife and mother and couldn¡¯t be linked with the ¡®fox spirit¡¯. Gu De wouldn¡¯t think that it was Feng Qi Qi who seduced Ming Yue Cheng and cheated Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s love.
Foxes are used in Chinese to describe a very beautiful and maniptive woman.
After determining the time to go to White Bird mountain, Ming Yue Cheng rushed back to the pce. Before he left, Gu De came and whispered a few words to him. Although, others couldn¡¯t hear what Gu De said, but those close could see that Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s expression darkened a bit.
The whole way, Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t say anything. It was just, Fu Er could clearly sense that the aura on Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s body was not right. After thinking about what Gu de said, Fu Er shook his head. Wasn¡¯t this prime minister causing trouble by letting Ming Yue Cheng bring Gu Yun Yao along? Isn¡¯t this creating obstacles for the emperor?!
Although, Fu Er thought so, but he understood Gu De¡¯s meaning. Ming Yue Cheng left the ¡®pce without consorts¡¯ because of Gu Yun Yao. Now when it was still the honeymoon phase, he wanted to abandon consort Jin to go to White Bird mountain. Anyone could guess something fishy about this. If they don¡¯t pretend and the lie was uncovered, then wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of the previous efforts?
Gu De was also well-intentioned. What he said was right. Ming Yue Cheng was angry because of after lying once, he needed to cover that lie with countless of lies. Such a thing made him very distressed!
After returning to the pce, Ming Yue Cheng prepared everything. Then, he went to Qingluan pce.
When Gu Yun Yao heard hat Ming Yue Cheng hade, she went to receive him. Only when she saw Ming Yue Cheng, did Gu Yun Yao felt that something was wrong with him. Smart as she was, she didn¡¯t speak. She only followed behind Ming Yue Cheng with a lowered head. From Gu Yun Yao¡¯s point of view, silence was the best way to cope with Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s ¡®anger¡¯.
After a long time did the anger in Ming Yue Cheng calm down. Looking at Gu Yun Yao who stood respectfully at a side with a lowered head, Ming Yue Cheng nodded to let her sit down. ¡°In two days, zhen1 will go to White Bird mountain. You go with zhen.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Gu Yun Yao knew that she wasn¡¯t qualified to say ¡®no¡¯. Everything about her was given by Ming Yue Cheng. She could only do as asked.
¡°You don¡¯t need to bring many things. Take what you need. When it¡¯s time, zhen will let Fu Er notify you.¡±
After leaving these words, Ming Yue Cheng returned to the imperial study. Until the day of the departure did he show his face again. Like Ming Yue Cheng said, Gu Yun Yao only brought simply clothing and jewelry. Also, only one pce maid called Zhu Er served at her side.
¡°Good. Let¡¯s go!¡±
Only after getting on the carriage and met with Gu De and the others outside the pce did Gu Yun Yao got to know the reason why they will go to White Bird mountain this time. It was to cure the gu for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s son. Gu Yun Yao had heard about these two people, but she had never seen them in person.
When Gu Yun Yao saw Feng Qi Qi, she was shocked. She had never seen such a beautiful girl. Even she as a woman was intoxicated with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s smile.
¡°Hello!¡± Feng Qi Qi smiled at Gu Yun Yao and took the initiative to greet her.
To facilitate, the women were arranged in the carriage. The men rode horses. Because Gu Yun Yao was alone, Feng Qi Qi asked her into her (FQQ) carriage. It was lively with the women being together. Gu Yun Yao wouldn¡¯t be alone.
Gu Yun Yao was very grateful of Feng Qi Qi taking the initiative to invite her. This amiable woman was quite to her liking, making her (GYY) like her (FQQ) from the first nce. Contrary to Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan wasn¡¯t so enthusiastic about a sudden adoptive little sister.
After Gu De asked Gu Yun Wan about Ming Yue Cheng liking Feng Qi Qi, did Gu Yun Wan sense that something was not right. If it was really like what Gu De said that Ming Yue Cheng was an infatuated person, then, why did he marry Gu Yun Yao? Wasn¡¯t this inconsistent?
Seeing that the way Gu Yun Wan looked at her had some ¡®scrutiny¡¯, Gu Yun Yao smiled slowly. ¡°Is there anything wrong with me? Why is big sister looking at me like this?
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong. I¡¯m only curious...¡± Because Feng Qi Qi was here, there were many things that was inconvenient to ask now. Gu Yun Wan sat at a side and didn¡¯t speak.
These past few days, she had been wanting to find Ming Yue Cheng and ask him about Gu Yun Yao. However, every time she enters the pce, Ming Yue Cheng was busy reviewing the memorials. She felt embarrassed if she bothered him. Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s decree ¡®harem without consorts¡¯ was real, but Gu Yun Wan believed that her father wouldn¡¯t lie to her. Could it be that Ming Yue Cheng coborated with Gu Yun Yao to perform a show? If it was really like this, then Ming Yue Cheng really made it hard on himself.
As an outsider, Gu Yun Wan understood Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s love for Feng Qi Qi. She also knows that love couldn¡¯t be forced. It was a well-known fact that Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang loved each other very much. Ming Yue Cheng continued to be in such a bitter unrequited love; in the end, the one who would be hurt would still be him.
Feng Cang¡¯s group just went on the journey when someone sent a letter to elder Teng Yuan on the White Bird mountain. After reading the letter, elder Teng Yuan burned it. Then, hey on bed. There was a pipe on his mouth.
¡°How is it? Does elder Teng Yuan feel a lot morefortable?¡± Duyi sat next to elder Teng Yuan and lit the pipe for him. He took a paste-like substance from his pocket and added a small amount of the substance to the tobo.
¡°Mm,fortable! Veryfortable!¡± Elder Teng Yuan had a look of satisfaction and was immersed in his fairy-like dream. ¡°Duyi, ah, this cream of yours is better than the medicine our shamans make! Since I started smoking it, my spirit was many times better than before. Come,e, give me some more!¡±
Duyi only smiled slightly at elder Teng Yuan¡¯s request. ¡°Elder, this Immortal cream is not a problem, but how is the matter that you promised us?¡±
¡°I knew you came for that. I just received news. Gu De came with Feng Cang¡¯s group. Aside from Feng Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Jin Mo, even Ming Yue Cheng came with consort Jin.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Duyi nodded. He turned his head to look at Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli who sat at the other side. ¡°It seemed that we are about to meet old friends!¡±
While Duyi spoke, he added some of the ¡®Immortal cream¡¯ to the tobo of elder Teng Yuan. ¡°Elder, smoke slowly. I¡¯ve many Immortal cream here. I also have the secret prescription of the Immortal cream. As long as you promise us to not cure the gu for Feng Xiao and while you¡¯re at it, help us achieve what we want, I can give you the whole prescription! In that case, you will have endless Immortal creams.¡±
¡°Not only you can use it, other people can also use it. You can also use this to do business and make a fortune. By that time, I can guarantee that you will make a lot of gold and silver. Elder Teng Yuan, what do you think?¡±
¡°Good...¡± Elder Teng Yuan inhaled deeply and he slowly blew the smoke out. The lingering smoke made him feel like he was in a paradise. Such a taste of happiness was something that he had never experienced before. ¡°This Immortal cream is a really good thing! Do you know? Every time I smoke the Immortal cream, I feel like I¡¯m like a floating immortal and wanted to ascend to heaven. Sofortable!¡±
¡°Elder, no matter how much Immortal cream you want, we have it. However, don¡¯t forget our conditions!¡± Taji Guli stood up and went next to elder Teng Yuan. That time, her left hand was cut off by Feng Qi Qi. Now, it had been reced by a dark iron hook.
1. Zhen: I, used by the emperor
Chapter 195 The cheap trio
Chapter 195 The cheap trio
Taji Guli stroked the hook on her left hand. Her gaze was on elder Teng Yuan¡¯s face. Because she had a side of her face towards him, the tattoo on her left face glowed mysteriously under the light. Elder Teng Yuan smiled, reached out and wanted to touch the hook on Taji Guli¡¯s left hand, but he was dodged by Taji Guli.
¡°I just wanted to see if this iron hook was suitable!¡± Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. ¡°I¡¯m really a genius! I gave you such a good weapon! Girl, you should thank me!¡±
The iron hook on Taji Guli¡¯s left hand was designed by elder Teng Yuan after she came to White Bird mountain and met him. Although, Taji Guli felt that it was a bit ufortable with such a thing on her left hand, but it was better than an empty broken hand. Especially after she tried the power of the iron hook, she had be more and more skillful at using it.
¡°If you want me to truly thank you, then help us. By then, we will give you whatever you want!¡±
Seeing that the moment Taji Guli opened her mouth, she will mention their pact, elder Teng Yuan leaned on the pillow and put more tobo in the pipe.
¡°Alright! I know what you all are saying! Isn¡¯t it just about that I shouldn¡¯t agree on curing the gu?! Rest assured, leave it to me. Even if Gu De is the chief, we, these elders also have the right to vote. If I don¡¯t agree, this matter won¡¯t go so easily! Not to mention how difficult the three tests are! Even a high-skilled person would be guaranteed to be gone forever!¡±
¡®Kuang...¡¯ Taji Guli¡¯s hook nailed in the wooden table in front of elder Teng Yuan. The sudden murderous aura scared him so much that the tobo pouch in his hand almost loosened. He looked again and saw that Taji Guli was looking at him full of anger.
¡°How many times have I told you that Feng Cang is my man! I absolutely won¡¯t allow anyone to touch him! Did you hear clearly?!¡±
That overbearing tone matched with Taji Guli¡¯s ferocious looking face caused elder Teng Yuan¡¯s brow to quiver for two to three seconds. Then, heughed, ¡°A man who needs the protection of a woman is still a man?¡±
This statement undoubtedly ignited the fire in Taji Guli¡¯s heart. How could she ept the other party talking like this about Feng Cang?! In Taji Guli¡¯s Feng Cang was a perfect incarnation. Even if the person in front of her was Qiang tribe¡¯s elder, but he couldn¡¯t even bepared to a small finger of Feng Cang.
¡°Feng Cang is not such a man! He¡¯s a hero!¡±
¡°Oh...¡± Elder Teng Yuan lengthened his tone. His voice was full of mockery, ¡°Then, you are imagining that your love is reciprocated?¡±
Just when elder Teng Yuan was happy that he found the answer, Taji Guli¡¯s hook caught his cor and brought this thin and old man to her face. ¡°Try say that once again.¡±
Elder Teng Yuan was right, but it was precisely because he pointed out Taji Guli¡¯s heart that let her fly into rage out of humiliation. She didn¡¯t like people seeing through her inner thoughts. Feng Cang had be her hero for many years. She admits that she likes him, but when these words were spoken out by elder Teng Yuan, it changed taste. It was like she was a woman who couldn¡¯t be brought out in the open. She didn¡¯t want that!
¡°Don¡¯t get angry. Don¡¯t get angry!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan hadn¡¯t been scared. Instead, he put his mouth on the pipe and inhaled two times. ¡°Comfortable! Sofortable!¡±
¡°If you continue to say nonsense, I will make it so that you can never befortable again!¡± The calmer the other party was, the angrier Taji Guli got. These two people; one was like water and one was like fire that couldn¡¯t mix together and be at a state of mutual hostility.
Seeing Taji Guli like this, Duyi put away the box with the cream and pulled Taji Guli to a side.
¡°Elder, she¡¯s hot-tempered like this. Forgive her!¡±
¡°I never haggle with a woman! Women are to be pampered and loved! However...¡± Elder Teng Yuan swept once over Taji Guli. ¡°I like the gentle and kind-hearted women of our Qiang tribe better. I don¡¯t like such a tigress!¡±
¡°Who did you say is a tigress?!¡±
Taji Guli stood up. She had been forced to hide here for many days. The anger in her heart was already like a thriving volcano and waiting to explode. Now elder Teng Yuan said these words was clearly looking for trouble.
Elder Teng Yuan smiled at Taji Guli¡¯s temper. His mouth made ¡®cheche¡¯ sounds. Then, a worm crawled out from his right ear. This was a fat worm with a pair of small wings on its back. Compared with its fat body, these pair of wings were a bitical. It was just, after the three people on the scene saw the worm, they couldn¡¯tugh. Especially Taji Guli. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
¡°Ah Gu, don¡¯t be afraid! This sister¡¯s temper is just a bit cranky. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan reached out to let the worm crawl on his hand. This worm was blue as the sky. The wings were lovely pink.
¡°I raised my ah Gu for forty-three years. Look, don¡¯t you think he¡¯s very cute?¡±
Elder Teng Yuan looked smilingly at the three people in front of him. Especially when he looked at Taji Guli, his gaze paused for a long time. ¡°Good ah Gu, meet father¡¯s new friends!¡±
That gu worm seemed like it could understand elder Teng Yuan. It shed its wings and flew to Duyi.
For a moment, Duyi held his breath.
Don¡¯t look down on this worm because it looked cute and seemed like fun to y with. It is a real gu worm. Especially when Duyi heard that this worm was raised by elder Teng Yuan for forty-three years, the way he looked at the worm changed. Forty-three years, it had almost be perfect!
If it was somewhere else, Duyi would¡¯ve certainly picked up such a special worm and studied it. However, here is White Bird mountain and the Qiang tribe¡¯s territory. Here, any worm could be a gu. It could be that you didn¡¯t even know that you already got the gu. So, it¡¯s natural to stay as far away as possible!
¡°Elder, Guli was just joking with you!¡± Duyi smiled but his expression was very stiff. He was afraid that this gu would fell on him.
¡°Joking? I know, I didn¡¯t haggle with the little girl! I only wanted to let you meet my baby ah Gu...¡± Elder Teng Yuan continued to smoke on the pipe. His eyes were closed. He had an expression that he was enjoying it very much.
¡°Hey, old man, if you¡¯re unhappy, thene at me! Why use a worm to dress up as god and y the devil?¡±
Dress up as god and y the devil: to mystify/ y tricks
Taji Guli didn¡¯t like elder Teng Yuan from the very beginning. She felt that this person was too ¡®insidious¡¯ and didn¡¯t look like an honest person. Now, seeing that he took out his gu, Taji Guli felt more disgusted. She hated being threatened the most; especially by a worm!
¡°Guli, shut up!¡±
As the leader of the three, Longze Jing Tian issued an order at the most critical moment. He stood up and cupped his fists at elder Teng Yuan to apologize, ¡°Just now, it was our fault. Asking elder to please pardon us!¡±
Although, it had been a while since they met elder Teng Yuan, but Longze Jing Tian still couldn¡¯t see through this elder. He¡¯s the most prestigious elder of the Qiang tribe, but he doesn¡¯t do things ording tomon sense. Sometimes he was honest, sometimes he was evil. He was crazy and somewhat insane.
It was precisely because of this character that Longze Jing Tian boldly put all his hopes on elder Teng Yuan. He didn¡¯t want much. He only wanted to get Feng Qi Qi. Of course, it would be better if they could kill Feng Cang.
It was just, Taji Guli couldn¡¯t bear to see Feng Cang in trouble. So, they reached an agreement. He will get Feng Qi Qi; Taji Guli will get Feng Cang. As for Duyi, Longze Jing Tian promised him that after he (LJT) had killed Ming Yue Cheng and restored Xi Qi, he will give Duyi the position of the highest teacher of the state.
Longze Jing Tian had always believed that there were no permanent enemies in this world. There were only eternal interests. For example, the three of them. They were originally people who would¡¯ve never crossed paths with each other, but for amon interest, they aligned together. Before reaching the goal, the three of them were a small group. If any side encountered a problem, the two other parties must use every effort to remedy the situation. This was where the significance of the alliance lies.
The politeness of Longze Jing Tian was a stark contrast to Taji Guli. Elder Teng Yuan nodded and smoked twice again. He made two ¡®cheche¡¯ sounds. The fat worm flew back and stopped at elder Teng Yuan¡¯s ear.
¡°Go back to sleep!¡±
After hearing elder Teng Yuan, the worm made two ¡®googoo¡¯ sounds and went into his earholes. The whole process was horrifying. Taji Guli almost vomited. She had never seen such a disgusting worm and such a nauseating way.
If it wasn¡¯t because Longze Jing Tian said that this was theirst resort, Taji Guli would¡¯ve never lived in such a sick ce. She grew up on the prairie. When had she seen so many worms? Ever since she stayed at White Bird mountain, Taji Guli had seen a variety of worms. Whether it was the flying or crawling worms, all made her feel sick. Not to mention that these worms could be the terrifying gu.
¡°Ha...,¡± Seeing that Taji Guli didn¡¯t like here, elder Teng Yuan just chuckled. After he smoked a bag of tobo, carefully cleaned the residue of the tobo and knocked the ashes from the pipe, he finally put away the tobo contentedly.
¡°You don¡¯t want Feng Cang to die, but he had decided to go through the three tests to save his son. By then, even if you couldn¡¯t bear to see something happen to the person you love, I¡¯m afraid that it wouldn¡¯t go as your wishes. Not to mention the mountains of daggers and the sea of mes, even if he is lucky and could survive till the end, the dragon pool is not somewhere anyone can enter. In this century, there had only been three people of our tribe who had passed these three tests sessfully. I¡¯m one of them.¡±
When he mentioned that he had passed the mountains of daggers, seas of mes and the dragon pool, elder Teng Yuan¡¯s eyes obviously showed pride. Because he had passed these three tests, he was able to be the elder of Qiang tribe and became the person people admired. Even the new chief Gu De failed to pass the three tests smoothly!
Taji Guli didn¡¯t know what these three tests are, but when she heard that these three tests would be unfavorable to Feng Cang, she was a bit anxious. ¡°Is there any way to resolve t? Nothing should happen to Feng Cang! Absolutely not!¡±
¡°Tsk, tsk, didn¡¯t you just say that he wasn¡¯t a man who needed the protection of a woman?! Since it was like that, then let him get through them himself! Life and death are ruled by fate; riches and honor are decided by heaven! If you want to achieve something without paying an equal price, how could you get what you want?¡±

Chapter 196 The ck hearted wolf
ck hearted means ruthless andcking in conscience.
These wordsing from elder Teng Yuan were merciless but also inevitable and right. His system of values was like this. To elder Teng Yuan, life was all about equivalent exchanges. You want to get rid of the gu, no problem, then, do it ording to the rules of Qiang tribe.
However, when Taji Guli heard these words, they were a cold rejoice in another people¡¯s cmity. If the three tests were really so difficult and something happened to Feng Cag when he is going through the tests, then what should she do? No, she didn¡¯t want anything to happen to Feng Cang!
¡°How did you pass the three tests?¡±
¡°Secret!¡± Elder Teng Yuanughingly shook his head. He kept his mouth shut and didn¡¯t want to reveal it. ¡°I see that the opinions of you three aren¡¯t the same. You¡¯d better go talk about it ande with a unified result beforeing to find me. Otherwise, if one of your opinion is at the south, the other is at the north, it would be very difficult on me.¡±
One of your opinions at the south, the other is at the north: to act in a way that defeats one¡¯s purpose
Elder Teng Yuan came to Duyi and opened his hand. ¡°Where is the thing I want? Give it to me! Just now, I told you an important piece of information. Give me some of the Immortal cream! Otherwise, if I fall ill, I can¡¯t help you get more information!¡±
Duyi didn¡¯t take out the Immortal cream directly. Instead, he looked at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Give one box to elder!¡±
With Longze Jing Tian¡¯s ¡®instruction¡¯, Duyi took out a very small box and handed it to elder Teng Yuan. ¡°Smoke it slowly (use little). It won¡¯t be good if you smoke too much!¡±
¡°Not good? Then, why do you still give it to me?¡± After hearing Duyi, elder Teng Yuan retorted. This made Duyi a bit in an awkward position. In the end, he could onlyugh helplessly.
After getting what he wanted, elder Teng Yuan took out arge bag. With his hands on his back, he slowly walked out. ¡°Wait patiently! I will keep in touch with you anytime! Remember, don¡¯t run off to anywhere! If you are discovered by our tribe¡¯s people, by then, I don¡¯t know you!¡±
After elder Teng Yuan left, Taji Guli¡¯s hook mmed on the stone wall. The iron hook collided with the wall which made a golden spark. ¡°Longze, do we really have to believe this old bastard? He really won¡¯t dupe us?¡±
¡°Presumably not.¡± Longze Jing Tian looked at the forest on the outside. He frowned, ¡°The people of the Qiang tribe are united. Only elder Teng Yuan is an exception. We can only act from here (him). Now, we only need to see if Duyi¡¯s Immortal cream is effective!¡±
Duyi wasn¡¯t so sure about Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. He had just once heard from Misha by coincident that the thing made from poppy seeds would let people be addicted to it. As a result, it would let him (M) be able to control that person.
Originally, Peni Ind had a lot of poppies. However, Misha said that they were poison and ordered to have arge area of poppies burned. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t allow anyone on the ind to grow poppies. When Duyi went to the maind and discovered the poppy flowers, he did as Misha once mentioned and made a cream from the poppy seeds. After many failures, he finally made the present Immortal cream.
The reason he gave it this name was because after taking this cream, one would get a fluttering feeling like a floating immortal. It could let people forget the ugliness of the world and immerse themselves in the ideal world. It was just like being in a fairnd.
Duyi had tried some once. After he saw those hallucinatory things, he immediately stopped taking it. As Misha said, this thing can be addictive. So much that it would let people be immersed in the virtual world. Taking too much waspletely the same as looking for your own death.
If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of controlling elder Teng Yuan, Duyi wouldn¡¯t have taken out the Immortal cream.
He knew clearly well about the power of this thing. He was also afraid that the prescription would be revealed and used by someone with ulterior motives to produce arge amount of it. By then, it would harm people greatly. As for the prescription, Duyi remembered it in his heart. He hadn¡¯t even told his two partners. Only this time, Duyi said to himself. Only to achieve their purpose. When he gets what he wants, he would then stop.
However, it seemed that the effect the Immortal cream had on elder Teng Yuan wasn¡¯t as great as Duyi imagined. Over the past month, he had been continuously increasing the amount, but elder Teng Yuan didn¡¯t show the addiction that Duyi thought that he would show. Could it be that because he was a master, he has more self-control and is resistant towards the Immortal cream?
¡°It would take Feng Cang¡¯s group some time before they arrive. I believe that during this period of time, elder Teng Yuan will certainly be inseparable from the Immortal cream. You can rest assured!¡± Although, he wasn¡¯t so confident in his heart, but in order to give his partners confidence, Duyi still painted an optimistic future for them.
After dealing with the matter of the Immortal cream, Longze Jing Tian looked at Taji Guli. ¡°If Feng Cang insist on going through the three tests, what would you do? If by chance he died, then what would you do?¡±
Taji Guli didn¡¯t know the answers to what she would do if these two situations happen.
Feng Cang would certainly mount the mountains of dagger, go through the sea of mes and enter the dragon pool to save his biological son. Even listening to these three tests sounds terrifying, let alone go through them. How should she stop Feng Cang? This question had been gued Taji Guli. Could it be that she should go to Feng Cang and beg him not to go? In ordance with Feng Cang¡¯s personality, he would certainly kill her and then continue to go through the three tests.
¡°Longze, do you have any good ideas?¡± Taji Guli couldn¡¯t think of a way to resolve it. She could only resort to asking Longze Jing Tian.
When the three of them formed a team, Duyi and Taji Guli agreed tacitly that Longze Jing Tian was their leader.
On the matters rted to Feng Cang, Taji Guli was the person who was baffled on spot. She couldn¡¯t think of any good way. Moreover, Taji Guli knew that Longze Jing Tian hates Feng Cang and wanted to kill Feng Cang. The hate he has for Feng Cang is deep as the hate Taji Guli has for Feng Qi Qi.
It was just, when they joined hands, they reached an agreement. They won¡¯t hurt Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang. They will only separate this couple, and each will get one. Now, hearing Longze Jing Tian say that, Taji Guli knows that he definitely must¡¯ve thought of a good idea.
¡°I do have an idea, but it¡¯s not easy to do it.¡±
Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli¡¯s thoughts wereplete opposite of each other. He would be happy to see Feng Cang die during the three tests. Then, he can take over Feng Qi Qi and be a pair of perfect lovers with Feng Qi Qi.
However, this was only Longze Jing Tian¡¯s wishful thinking. When he joined forces with Taji Guli, he knew he was doomed that things won¡¯t go his way. For example, when dealing with his matter, they had a dispute. They had to find a solution that was epted by the both of them and result in what they both wanted.
¡°What way?¡± The moment she heard that Longze Jing Tian could save Feng Cang, inside Taji Guli¡¯s eyes shone a peculiar light. ¡°Say it quickly! What kind of way?¡±
¡°Since everything Feng Cang was doing is for his son Feng Xiao, wouldn¡¯t it be fine if we just kill Feng Xiao while he (FC) is going through the three tests?¡±
While Longze Jing Tian was talking, Duyi felt a chillness. Feng Xiao was just a baby that hasn¡¯t been born for a long time! Putting their hands one a child who didn¡¯t even have the strength to truss a chicken was crossing the line a bit for Duyi. ¡°Don¡¯t involve me in this matter! I won¡¯t put my hands on a child!¡±
Duyi shook his head and retreated to a side. His enemy was not a baby. To vent anger on a child, what kind of man is this?!
The idea that was denied by Duyi had been approved by Taji Guli. That¡¯s right! Didn¡¯t Feng Cange from the Bei Zhou of thousand miles away to Nan Feng just to cure the gu for Feng Xiao?! As long as Feng Xiao died, Feng Cang wouldn¡¯t need to do those risky things! Every problem was because of Feng Xiao!
Taji Guli wasn¡¯t like Duyi. The one she loves is Feng Cang. Feng Xiao was Feng Cang¡¯s child born from another woman. In other words, Feng Xiao was Taji Guli¡¯s thorn in her eyes and flesh. She couldn¡¯t wait to be finished with him! Originally, Taji Guli hated Feng Qi Qi more, but she had an agreement with Longze Jing Tian to not hurt Feng Qi Qi. So, the only way to solve the problem now was to get rid of Feng Xiao.
¡°I say, can you not think of a more appropriate way? Don¡¯t you feel shame for putting your hands on a child?¡± Although Duyi was one of the cheap trio, but after all, he lived on Peni Ind for a long time. He had been influenced by the ind and wasn¡¯t truly a person wicked beyond redemption. It was somewhat difficult for Duyi to understand Taji Guli and Longze Jing Tian¡¯s decision.
¡°Duyi, can you think of a better way? If you can help me figure out how to stop Feng Cang, then, I will not hurt that child.¡±
Taji Guli already made up her mind that she would do anything in order to let Feng Cang live. Even if her hands were contaminated with blood, it would be fine as long as it¡¯s for Feng Cang¡¯s good.
Sometimes, when people are too obsessed with something, their mind would be sick.
You eagerly presented your heart to the other party and hoped to get the other party¡¯s love, but how would you know that what the other party likes is this? Like how Taji Guli, under Longze Jing Tian¡¯s instigation thought that as long as she killed Feng Xiao, she would be able to stop Feng Cang from ¡®killing himself¡¯. Why won¡¯t she think about how Feng Cang would feel after she killed his beloved son and how would he treat her then?
Duyi wanted to say these to Taji Guli, but after some thoughts, he decided to keep his mouth shut. From his point of view, as long as the matter was rted to Feng Cang, Taji Guli would turn from a sensible woman to a madwoman. It would be useless no matter how much he said. She was someone who wouldn¡¯t cry before seeing the coffin. Even when seeing the coffin, her heart (love) still wouldn¡¯t die.
¡°I don¡¯t have a better way! I can only tell you, you won¡¯t be so lucky every time to be able to escape at the right moment.¡±
How could Taji Guli not understand the hidden meaning behind Duyi¡¯s words?
Feng Qi Qi also came with Feng Cang this time. Taji Guli knew clearly well how powerful Feng Cang is. As for Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ability, Taji Guli remembered it well. Her left hand was broken at the hands of Feng Qi Qi. That kind of pain would let Taji Guli wake up from a nightmare even now.
Feng Xiao had such parents as well as Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Jin Mo, such high skilled people at his side; to kill Feng Xiao under their watch was something very difficult. Although, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s proposal was a good idea, but the feasibility of it was indeed difficult.
Taji Guli looked at her twopanions. She wished to get help from them. Duyi shrugged his shoulders and expressed his attitude. Longze Jing Tian returned her with one sentence that stifled Taji Guli, ¡°Feng Cang is what you want.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t want to help me. I will find someone myself!¡±
Chapter 197 Giving Feng Xiao a little brother
Chapter 197 Giving Feng Xiao a little brother
From Taji Guli¡¯s point of view, if one was human, they would have loopholes.
Even with Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi there, there would always be gaps. Even tigers would doze off, let alone humans! Anyway, there was ample of time. Now, Feng Cang hasn¡¯t arrived yet. It was useless even if she was impatient.
Longze Jing Tian naturally knew what Taji Guli was thinking. To him, Taji Guli was a hot-blooded (reckless) woman . With a bit of instigation, she would change a single spark into a prairie fire. This was typical of a woman who has the beauty but not the brains. Aside from her tenacity, it seemed that she didn¡¯t have any other good points. Even that tenacious and unyielding character had be a bull¡¯s horn. An obstinate and stubborn woman was really not cute at all!
Bull¡¯s horn: to waste time on an insoluble or insignificant problem
Looking at Taji Guli, Longze Jing Tian thought of Feng Qi Qi. That crafty woman was a thousand, ten thousand times better than the woman in front of him. They¡¯re both women, why was the difference so big? If it wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t have enough power now and needed to ¡®form an alliance¡¯ with Taji Guli, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen such a stupid partner.
However, with such a person here, he could use her as a gun. Anyway, his goal was Feng Qi Qi. As long as he could get Feng Qi Qi, he was willing to do anything.
Feng Qi Qi who was far away on the road sneezed two times at this time. She rubbed her itchy nose. ¡°Who is thinking about me?¡±
¡°Miss, didn¡¯t you say in the past that sneezing once was that someone was thinking about you; sneezing twice was that someone was scolding you?¡± While Su Mei was sewing shoes in the form of tiger heads for Feng Xiao, she looked at Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Right, ah! What I said was for ordinary people. In my case, sneezing once is that one person was thinking about me. Sneezing twice is that two people were thinking about me...and so on!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words made Su Mei shook her head. She lowered her head and continue to do needlework.
Feng Qi Qi was not good at things like needlework and embroidery. She hadn¡¯t received such training and also didn¡¯t learn these from young like the women of this era. Therefore, Feng Xiao¡¯s clothes and shoes were designed by her and made by hand by Su Mei and Su Yue.
On the way, Feng Qi Qi asked Ming Yue Cheng to find a carpenter to make a baby cradle. At this time, Feng Xiao was sleeping in the cradle. Feng Qi Qi sung a luby. Because Gu Yun Wan and Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t have anything to do, they helped Su Mei do some needlework like sewing eyes on the tiger head shoes.
All the way, these women got along harmoniously. There was only one thing that made Feng Qi Qi very surprised. That was the attitude Ming Yue Cheng had towards Gu Yun Yao. It wasn¡¯t like how it was rumored to be.
Ming Yue Cheng announced to the world that in this lifetime he would only have Gu Yun Yao as his only women. He won¡¯t select consort in this life anymore. This incident made Feng Qi Qi admire him very much. In this feudal dynasty, it was not easy for a man who stood at the highest position to make such a promise to the woman he loves. Especially that Ming Yue Cheng was able to break all the pressure and stick to his decision. This was very remarkable and admirable.
However, after this period of observation, Feng Qi Qi discovered that these two people were not like a man and a woman in love. No joy of a newly-wedded bride could be seen from Gu Yun Yao. Also, Ming Yue Cheng treated her with politeness. Or better said, it was more appropriate to describe it as coldness. No matter how you look at these two, they seemed strange.
While Feng Qi Qi was observing Gu Yun Yao, Gu Yun Yao was also sizing her up.
Gu Yun Yao was not a fool. The attitude Ming Yue Cheng had towards Feng Qi Qi these past few days was enough for her to guess who the person in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart was. Originally, Gu Yun Yao thought that Ming Yue Cheng liked Gu Yun Wan. Because of Gu Yun Wan¡¯s identity as ¡®empress dowager¡¯, so he had no way but to use such a way to evade.
However, after seeing Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Yao knew she made a mistake. The one Ming Yue Cheng truly loved is Feng Qi Qi.
Now, Gu Yun Yao knew who the ¡°Qi Qi¡± Ming Yue Cheng talked about was. She also knew why this man did so many things. He was keeping his body pure as jade for her; for a dream that can be wished for but that won¡¯t be reality. He insisted on his heart and maintained his. This man couldn¡¯t help but let people feel sorry for him.
However, it was one thing to feel sorry for Ming Yue Cheng, Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t have any improper thoughts. She was a calm and intelligent woman. She would never covet something that wouldn¡¯t belong to her. Even if Ming Yue Cheng was the highly emperor of a country, Gu Yun Yao had never had any illusions about him. Moreover, after getting to know that the person in his heart was someone that she couldn¡¯t bepared to, she would even more not do any of those unrealistic dreams.
After being on the road for ten days, they were finally about to reach White Bird mountain.
¡°There are still two days left!¡± When Gu De told this news to everyone, Su Mei was obviously relieved. She was used to riding on a horse. Now, being inside the carriage for all day really suffocated her. So, the moment they arrived at the inn, Su Mei immediately jumped off the carriage and stretched her muscles.
Contrary to Su Mei, Feng Qi Qi carefully went off the carriage. With Feng Cang¡¯s help, they took the cradle from the carriage. Even if it was a verymon movement, she was able to make it look very ¡®elegant¡¯, making Gu Yun Yao a bit infatuated from looking at her. In her heart, she was more certain about why Ming Yue Cheng would be so attached to Feng Qi Qi. This woman was like a painting that could move, making people unable not to indulge in it.
¡°What are you looking at?¡± When Gu Yun Yao¡¯s mind was elsewhere, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s voice rang beside her. ¡°Are you not going to get off the carriage?¡±
¡°Oh, right now!¡± Gu Yun Yao jumped from the carriage. When she looked again, Feng Qi Qi had already gone far away.
Really a beauty! Gu Yun Yao knew that she couldn¡¯t learn the noble aura that Feng Qi Qi emitted with every movement. Even the way she swayed when she walked was so beautiful like a rose in the wind; touching yet not losing its pureness.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing the dazed Gu Yun Yao, Ming Yue Cheng stopped in his tracks. ¡°You seem a bit strange today.¡±
¡°No, nothing.¡± Gu Yun Yao didn¡¯t want to let Ming Yue Cheng know that she had discovered his secret. She quickly denied and followed behind Ming Yue Cheng to the inn.
Fu Er had long let everyone prepare everything. When everyone entered, everything was arranged properly. After having dinner together, everyone returned to their room. After Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang entered their room, Jin Mo followed them.
¡°Wangye 1, a letter from the house.¡±
Jin Mo brought the news from Nn Xin. The whole way from Bei Zhou to Nan Feng, every three days, Nn Xin would write a letter about every movement in the capital, including the matters of Fo Sheng Men to Feng Cang. So, even if Feng Cang wasn¡¯t in the capital, he could also know what was going on at that side.
After reading the letter, Feng Cang nodded. Jin Mo retreated. Feng Qi Qi came to Feng Cang¡¯s side. ¡°Something happened at home?¡±
¡°Everything is fine at home. It was just, Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli haven¡¯t been found yet.¡± When he said this, Feng Cang¡¯s eyebrow shook slightly. Even Fo Sheng Men and Moyu hadn¡¯t found them. Could it be that these two people grew wings and flew away?
¡°Could it be that someone helped them in secret? So, we couldn¡¯t find them? Or, some people don¡¯t want us to find them?¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words let Feng Cang thought about the disappearance of Taji Guli at Feng Xiao¡¯s one-month old banquet.
That day, Wanyan Kang closed the gates at the fastest speed. Then, the Eagle troop did a thorough search. In the end, she was still able to escape. This shows that someone from Bei Zhou¡¯s officials was a group with them.
¡°Qing Qing, it seemed that we need to do a new investigation.¡± He didn¡¯t know why, but Feng Cang had a hunch that something was about to happen. Since the interior of Bei Zhou wasn¡¯t clean, then they need to find the domestic bad mouse first! Lest to let one mouse¡¯s poop spoil a whole pot of soup.
After Feng Cang wrote a reply and handed it to Jin Mo, next was the world of this young couple.
Feng Qi Qi sat on the bed and breastfed Feng Xiao. The luster of the candlelight lit on her beautiful facial features, making her look more beautiful and touching. Feng Cang walked to her and sat next to Feng Qi Qi. He lowered his head and looked at how Feng Xiao used all his strength to suck milk. A happy smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
This is his wife. This is his child. At this moment, just looking at Feng Qi Qi and Feng Xiao, Feng Cang¡¯s exhaustion would be swept away.
¡°Don¡¯t look!¡± Feng Qi Qi turned slightly to let Feng Cang not look at her. Being looked by Feng Cang like this while breastfeeding made Feng Qi Qi a little embarrassed.
¡°Qing Qing, it had been more than two months...¡± Feng Cang put his head on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s shoulder. His chin rubbed against her shoulder de. ¡°Jin Mo said that the prohibition could be lifted two months after birth. I...want you so much.¡±
The intimate words of Feng Cang made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ears burn. It seemed that the two of them haven¡¯t been intimate for a long time. Feng Cang had always adhered to the principle of protecting his wife. Even if it was hard for him to bear, he only used shower to relieve his heat. Counting it, he had been an ascetic monk for months.
¡°Qing Qing, do you want me?¡± Feng Cang¡¯s breath lingered on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ear letting her ears feel itchy and numb. ¡°You say, should we give Feng Xiao a little brother or a little sister?¡±
¡°All good...¡± Feng Qi Qi turned her head. Her lips just happened to rub on Feng Cang¡¯s lips. The two looked at each other. Their eyes were full of love.
¡°Good! If we have a son, we three will protect you. If we have a girl, we two will protect you and our daughter.¡±
Feng Cang just wanted to seize the opportunity to kiss Feng Qi Qi, he didn¡¯t expect that a ¡®wa...¡¯ sound would separate him and Feng Qi Qi. When he looked, Feng Xiao was looking at his parents with teary eyes with a look of ¡®I¡¯m still here. Don¡¯t teach children bad things¡¯. Hepletely interrupted Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s intimacy.
Next to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were Ming Yue Cheng and Gu Yun Yao. These two people would pretend to be husband and wife in front of others, but they were not excellent actors. They couldn¡¯t act out the feeling of love. Everyone could see that this pair of emperor and consort was a bit too dull.
¡°You sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the ground.¡±
There was only one bed in the room. Ming Yue Cheng took a piece of wood and ced it on the ground. Then he also took a quilt to the ground.
Seeing that Ming Yue Cheng was such a gentleman, Gu Yun Yao couldn¡¯t hep but sigh in her heart. She knew how sincere the feelings between Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi was. She also knew that Ming Yue Cheng was a good man. It was a pity that there was only one Feng Qi Qi. If she had a twin sister, Ming Yue Cheng wouldn¡¯t need to go on being so alone anymore.

Chapter 198 Skillfully winning people’s hearts
Chapter 198 Skillfully winning people¡¯s hearts
At night, Ming Yue Cheng stared at the roof of the room. Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang was just in the room next to him. Through the wall, Ming Yue Cheng could imagine how Feng Qi Qi would sleep in Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
Although, he tried very hard to show that he didn¡¯t feel anything and also wanted to pretend to be in love with Gu Yun Yao, but without the feelings and without the heart, no matter how he tried he couldn¡¯t fake it. Time went by seconds after seconds. Ming Yue Cheng could hear Gu Yun Yao¡¯s even breathing. That soothing rhythm seemed to remind Ming Yue Cheng that it was not early, and that he should rest.
¡°Ay...¡± Ming Yue Cheng sighed deeply and closed his eyes. After the gu on Feng Xiao was solved, she would presumably return; return to that home of hers and Feng Cang¡¯s. It was better if he grabbed the time to get along with her and help Feng Xiao get rid of the gu.
Ming Yue Cheng had a small hidden motive in his heart. He had it from the moment he let Feng Xiao recognize him as godfather. Since he wouldn¡¯t be intimate with any woman aside from her, he wouldn¡¯t have children in this life. Nan Feng¡¯s root couldn¡¯t be broken at his generation. So, he wanted to pass the throne to Feng Xiao. Perhaps, this idea was his wishful thinking, but he had decided. In the future, no matter what method is used, he would abduct, Feng Xiao, his godson to Nan Feng.
After wading through the mountains for two days, Feng Cang¡¯s group finally arrived at the legendary residence of the Qiang tribe...White Bird Mountain.
White Bird Mountain, as its name suggest, it was a mountain. Because there were many birds in the mountain it got the name White Bird mountain. Most of the north were in fields. There were only a few mountains. The south had many mountains. White Bird mountain was steep. There was only a scattered and fragmented stone road. After many twists and turns, it was a road to the top of the mountain.
The road was not easy to walk on. Until night did they arrive at the vige of the Qiang tribe. The bamboo house of Qiang tribe were built in sky. They were one meter away from the ground. The moment the tribe¡¯s people heard that the chief Gu De and great miss Gu Yun Wan had returned, they all went out too wee them. Here, Feng Qi Qi clearly felt the enthusiasm of the Qiang tribe. Gu De¡¯s prestige was high in the Qiang tribe. Many people came to great Gu De and Gu Yun Wan. Compared to them, Ming Yue Cheng, this emperor wasn¡¯t as popr as them.
After knowing that Feng Cang and the others were noble guests from the far away Bei Zhou, the people of Qiang tribe took out fine wine and delicious fruits to treat them. This simple ethnic minority set up a bonfire on the empty ground beneath the house. Men, women, children and elders dressed in clothes of their tribe, danced and sang to wee these noble guests.
¡°Have a taste of our specialty, grilled pine mushroom!¡± In front of Gu De was a grill. Various kind of foods were pierced through a thin hook and giving of an enticing scent.
The food of the Qiang tribe were based on barbecue. During the barbecue, a special sesame oil and honey was brushed over the food. After the food was grilled, it was prepared ording to the different tastes of the individual. The original sauce preserved the original taste of the food.
¡°Have a taste!¡± Gu De handed a string of pine mushroom to Feng Cang. ¡°See if it¡¯s to your taste!¡±
While Gu De was speaking, the people of the Qiang tribe looked at Feng Cang. They wanted to know what this person would do. Feng Cang took over the pine mushrooms from Gu De. He dipped it in the sauce and brought it to his mouth.
¡°How is it?¡±
¡°Very delicious! I like it very much!¡±
After hearing Feng Cang, Gu Deughed out loudly. Those people of Qiang tribe also followed him withughter.
¡°You have been epted!¡± Ming Yue Cheng carefully exined to Feng Qi Qi. It turned out that the worship Qiang tribe¡¯s people had for food was far greater than everything. They thought that food was a gift from the nature. Only those who epted the food of Qiang tribe would be regarded as friend. Just now, Feng Cang liked the pine mushroom. This was the biggest affirmation of Qiang tribe¡¯s food. Those simple and honest people of the Qiang tribe epted Feng Cang for such a simple reason.
¡°Have a drink!¡± Gu De poured a cup of wine made from grapes to Feng Cang. ¡°Let¡¯s make a night of it!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s make a night of it!¡±
The people of Qiang tribe raised their cups made from horns and cheered. The lively atmosphere affected Feng Qi Qi and the others. Wanyan Kang also raised his cup made from horns. ¡°Cheers! Let¡¯s make a night of it!¡±
Wanyan Kang¡¯s spirit was to the people of Qiang tribe¡¯s taste. There were some girls of the Qiang tribe who pulled Gu Yun Yao and Su Mei to let them go dance. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to dance, ah!¡± Gu Yun Yao wanted to be modest but was dragged by Gu Yun Wan to the crowd. ¡°Come, let¡¯s dance together. Just follow the beat!¡±
Su Mei was easy-mannered. Although, she couldn¡¯t dance, but only after seeing it for a few times, she could follow these people. Feng Qi Qi held Feng Xiao. So, she only sat and looked at Su Mei and the othersughingly.
¡°Mistress, go dance!¡± A girl with small braids came to Feng Qi Qi and invited her.
¡°I need to take care of the baby!¡± Feng Qi Qi declined politely, but that girl refused to give up. ¡°Mistress, you can give the baby to your husband! It was hard that youe be a guest at ours,e! Mistress is so beautiful. Your dance must also be very beautiful!¡±
Feng Qi Qi still wanted to refuse, but Feng Cang took Feng Xiao from her arms. ¡°Go, I will take care of the child!¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Feng Cang was so considerate. Feng Qi Qi smiled and walked to the crowd.
When Gu Yun Wan saw that Feng Qi Qi came over, she immediately shouted a slogan. Then, she said arge number of words that Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t understand. Presumably, it was the dialect of the Qiang tribe. After listening to Gu Yun Wan, every one of the Qiang tribe cheered. Everyone made an empty spot in the middle. They pped their hands and looked smilingly at Feng Qi Qi. There were also people who began to cheer.
¡°Little Wan, what did you say?¡± Feng Qi Qi was a bit puzzled. Gu Yun Wan smilingly went forward and took Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hand. ¡°I told them that you¡¯re a very beautiful and talented girl and was very good at dancing! So, everyone was weing your performance!¡±
¡°Eh...¡± Feng Qi Qi went nk. She had been ¡®sold¡¯ by Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Qi Qi, dance! I heard from Jin Mo that you can dance beautifully! The women of our Qiang tribe likes to dance very much. If you dance beautifully, everyone would like you!¡±
Gu Yun Wan pulled Feng Qi Qi to a side and quietly added, ¡°The people¡¯s heart, ah. Qi Qi, if you want to get rid of the gu for Feng Xiao, you need to let everyone like you. Did you see? Everyone who sat at that side are elders! Even if you can pass the three tests, if the elders oppose, we still can¡¯t cure the gu for Feng Xiao. At Qiang tribe, it¡¯s not my father who has the final say. Everything should be voted on! Don¡¯t underestimate these people. They all have voting rights!¡±
Gu Yun Wan¡¯s exnation let Feng Qi Qi began to understand that this tribe wasn¡¯t as terrifying as the rumors made it to be. The Qiang tribe was good at using gu. Gu was a horrible creature in people¡¯s heart. So, Qiang tribe was also a mysterious existence which makes people feel fear.
However, aftering to White Bird mountain and getting to know the Qiang tribe in this short time, Feng Qi Qi discovered that the people of Qiang tribe were very warm and hospitable. Their hospitality was direct and simple. They were a simple ethnic group.
Feng Qi Qi knew that Gu Yun Wan was helping her. She¡¯s the great miss of Qiang tribe and was familiar with the characteristic of the Qiang tribe. She knew that in order to get the people of Qiang tribe¡¯s recognition and support, they must use a way that the Qiang tribe liked.
¡°If this is the case, then I will not be modest!¡± Feng Qi Qi whispered a few words in Gu Yun Wan¡¯s ear. Gu Yun Wan nodded.
Feng Qi Qi was dressed in red. Her hand held a red muslin. Gu Yun Wan retreated and took a drumstick from a man. She beat two times on the big drum that was as big as two people hugging each other, ¡°Boom...boom, boom, boom...boom...¡±
When the drums sounded, the field went quiet. All eyes were on the woman in red on the field.
The bright moonlight shrouded Feng Qi Qi and ted her red dress with a silveryer.
¡°Boom...boom, boom, boom...boom...¡± Feng Qi Qi followed the beat of the drums and waved the red muslin in her hand. She rose up in one bound like a fairy under the moon. Gu Yun Wan¡¯s beat of drum was fierce like the drums on the battlefield. The rhythm was intense, sonorous and stirred the will of the people.
The whole dance was without any assistance of music. There were only the fierce sounds of the drum. Feng Qi Qi was like a goddess of war and disyed that kind of passion and enthusiasm. Originally, women used flexibility as being beautiful, but Feng Qi Qi could couple strength and gentleness, adding a feminine factor to the fierce drum sounds.
Ming Yue Cheng looked at Feng Qi Qi. He didn¡¯t know whatnguage he should use to express his current mood.
This dance was probably Feng Qi Qi¡¯s inner world! There was gentleness through her firmness without losing all the good qualities of a woman like her character. Such a dance, such a woman, how could people not love and not like?
Like Ming Yue Cheng, the people of the Qiang tribe had also been attracted by Feng Qi Qi¡¯s dance. This person was very beautiful. The soul of her dance was like the character of the Qiang tribe.
They¡¯ve lived on thisnd for generations. They used their way to fight against nature. They rooted here and strongly survived. Many people had sympathetic response from Feng Qi Qi¡¯s dance. Many people began to beat the drums in their hands. They followed Gu Yun Wan¡¯s rhythm to give background music to Feng Qi Qi.
Shocking was the feeling Feng Qi Qi brought to Gu De. This whole way, the feeling Feng Qi Qi gave Gu De was that of a gentle and virtuous woman. He didn¡¯t expect Feng Qi Qi to have a valiant, proud and wild side.
Feng Qi Qi danced in the sky like an elf. When she flew up, her toes stepped on the fallen bamboo leaves. Using their strength, she rotated into a beautiful ¡®flower¡¯. The postures were splendid and let people feel that it was refreshing to look at.
Seeing the appearance of his people, Gu De knew that this woman had conquered his people. Using a dance to conquer the hearts of people was indeed a good idea. It seemed that Gu Yun Wan really saw Feng Qi Qi as a very good friend. That was why she (GYW) helped her (FQQ) so much out.
However, Feng Qi Qi indeed did have the ability to attract people. From the moment she began to dance till now, the atmosphere was brought to the highest level by her. Those people had obviously been moved by Feng Qi Qi¡¯s dance. Even the elders nodded repeatedly. It seemed that they also had good feelings for Feng Qi Qi.
Elder Teng Yuan sat among the elders. From the moment Gu De returned, he had been looking at Feng Cang¡¯s group. As one of the elders who had the most right to speak, elder Teng Yuan had long got to know from Longze Jing Tian the purpose that Feng Cang came here for. He reached an agreement with them. As and exchange for the Immortal cream, he wouldn¡¯t let Feng Cang¡¯s wish be fulfilled.

¡°Oh...¡± Contrary to the lively atmosphere on the field, elder Teng Yuan yawned. There were a few tears on the corners of his eyes. He blinked and took out the Immortal cream from his sleeve. He carefully scooped out a little bit and stuffed it in the tobo.
¡°Bada, bada!¡± Not waiting for the tobo to burn, elder Teng Yuan already took two smokes. Tasting the familiar taste, elder Teng Yuan had a face of satisfaction. A thick smoke came out of his mouth. They turned into circles and faded in the sky.
Smoking the Immortal cream, watching Feng Qi Qi dance and the drums sounds that stirred people¡¯s hearts rang in his ears, elder Teng Yuan had his legs crossed, swayed his head and closed his eyes. From time to time, he would also tip his right fingers on the table following the beat of the drums. He had a very enjoyable look.
In all fairness, he liked Feng Qi Qi¡¯s dance very much. Her dance interpreted a positive and uplifting soul like the ancient people of the Qiang tribe. They had lived at White Bird mountain for generations and had struggled with various environments. Finally, they became the owner here. The dance of Feng Qi Qi expressed the spirit of the people of the Qiang tribe. Elder Teng Yuan liked it very much.
However, he made a promise to Longze Jing Tian. Moreover, the Immortal cream was indeed a good thing. If he could get the prescription of the Immortal cream, in the future he would then have endless Immortal cream.
At this side, Wanyan Kang took Feng Xiao from Feng Cang¡¯s arms and also pushed him (FC) to the crowd.
Everyone of the Qiang tribe could sing and dance. Now, seeing that Feng Cang also joined in, everyone started to cheer. Feng Qi Qinded in front of Feng Cang and handed a bamboo stick to him. The two had a tacit understand and did a ¡®double martial arts dance¡¯. Feng Cang couldn¡¯t dance. He used the bamboo stick as a sword and did a sword dance around the campfire.
The white Feng Cang was cold as snow. The red Feng Qi Qi was passionate as fire. The two pushed the atmosphere to the highest level which were met with a warm cheer. They coordinated very well. The woman was like a fire phoenix, dancing in the sky. The man was like the snow on the ground and contrasted the fiery red phoenix. They sketched a perfect picture.
¡°So beautiful!¡± Gu De stroked his beard. The elders who sat at the other side also nodded frequently. They were all experts in dance. Of course they could understand the meaning of the dance of this pair. They were also impressed by them.
¡°Good...¡± At the end, everyone stood up and cheered for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. this couplended on the ground from the sky. Everyone went to them and surrounded them. The music began again. Everyone began to sing and dance, using their way to wee Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi.
¡°It¡¯s so great here!¡± Feng Qi Qi returned to her seat and smiled at Gu De.
¡°Since wangfei1 likes it here, wangfei can live here. Our Qiang tribe is very hospitable. Unfortunately, there are too few people who wants to be friends with us.¡±
There was some helplessness inside Gu De¡¯s words.
Indeed, to others, Qiang tribe was a weird existence that associated with the gu. Not only were they repelled by the Nan Feng, when other countries heard about the gu, their faces would also change color. In the memory of Gu De, it had been a long time since White Bird mountain had been so lively.
¡°Good!¡± Just when Gu De was immersed in the memories of the past, Feng Cang¡¯s voice reached over, ¡°Since chief invited us, naturally we will ept the invitation as long as chief doesn¡¯t get tired of us.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words surprised Gu De. That he agreed so readily was beyond Gu De¡¯s expectations. ¡°Could it be that wangye2 isn¡¯t afraid of the gu?¡±
¡°Could it be that chief would put gu on us?¡± Feng Qi Qi used a rhetoric question to answer Gu De, making Gu Deugh out loudly. These two people were indeed a match. They were really a wonderful pair.
¡°Regent and wangfei can rest assured. We have our principles. Not to mention that you are noble guests who came from far away. I can assure you that no one would put gu on you.¡±
Gu De really appreciated Feng Cang¡¯s character. Although the two didn¡¯t talk much while on the road. However, now they were being a chatterbox and talked non-stop with each other.
It was lively on the scene. No one noticed that in the shadow not far away, someone was staring infatuatedly at Feng Qi Qi.
Knowing that Feng Qi Qi would arrive today, Longze Jing tian used the night to hide here. The dance of Feng Qi Qi just now deeply stunned him. Longze Jing Tian finally understood what kind of beautiful scenery he had missed.
If he hadn¡¯t written the ¡°Break Off Engagement Letter¡±, the one who would dance with her and receive the blessings of the people would be him. Longze Jing Tian always wondered about why Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t choose him. He was also handsome. This question had puzzled Longze Jing Tian for a long time. He hoped that he could get the answer one day from Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Slut!¡± A voice came from Longze Jing Tian¡¯s side. Only now did he discovered that Taji Guli also came here. Obviously, Taji Guli saw Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi coordinated wlessly in a dance. She hated it so much that she gnashed her teeth. Her right hand was clenched into a fist.
¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive!¡± Longze Jing Tian grabbed the iron hook on Taji Guli¡¯s left hand. ¡°Don¡¯t forget the agreement between us! If you dare to touch Feng Qi Qi, I won¡¯t let Feng Cang off!¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s threat let Taji Guli humph coldly. ¡°I know! You can¡¯t bear to see your beauty suffer! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not an idiot!¡±
Taji Guli pulled her hook fiercely, turned and left here.
¡°Bastard! Bastard!¡± While Taji Guli walked, she waved with the iron hook on her left hand. Why would every man view Feng Qi Qi in a new light? Her looks were only a bit more beautiful. She had nothing else that was special.
Recalling the scene of the deep affection between Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli¡¯s heart felt ufortable like it had eaten a fat fly. Before, she thought to abide to the agreement between her and Longze Jing Tian. As long as she could get Feng Cang, she didn¡¯t want anything else. However now, after seeing the deep and sweet love between Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli changed her mind.
Feng Qi Qi must die. Feng Cang¡¯s heart was already fully filled with this woman. Even if she gets Feng Cang¡¯s person, she wouldn¡¯t be able to enter his heart. She didn¡¯t want it like that! She wanted to let Feng Cang look at her deeply in love like the way he looked at Feng Qi Qi. She also wanted Feng Cang to love her!
Taji Guli didn¡¯t know that her ally, Longze Jing Tian had the same thoughts as her at this time.
Longze Jing Tian had long wanted to get rid of Feng Cang. He is a man. A man¡¯s possessiveness was stronger. He could ignore Feng Qi Qi¡¯s past, but in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s future, there could only be one person; that is him, Longze Jing Tian.
After Taji Guli left, Longze Jing Tian looked once deeply at Feng Qi Qi before he turned and left.
No matter what, he had to get rid of Feng Cang! Longze Jing Tian gritted his teeth. Feng Cang¡¯s existence would be a forever nightmare for Longze Jing Tian.
The campfire was busy untilte at night. Gu De let Feng Cang¡¯s group live in his own bamboo building. Gu De¡¯s bamboo building was at the east. The bamboo building was small and exquisite. It was not big but very heartwarming.
Qiang tribe vige was build houses after houses. There was no barrier between the houses. Just like how the people of the Qiang tribe wouldn¡¯t set up their defenses against each other. The people of the vige were like one big family.
Gu De nned to let Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi see the elders on the second day. Today was their dust-washing feast. Gu De didn¡¯t mention the matter of curing the gu to the elders. However, looking back at Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s performance, it seemed that they left a good impression on the people. He hoped that they could solve the gu smoothly!
The next day, Feng Qi Qi was woken up by the sounds of the birds outside.
Those birds sang happily in the woods. When the wind blew through the wood, it made ¡®shua, shua...¡¯ sounds. The air was filled with a freshness. The greetings in theirnguage by the farmers of the Qiang tribe could be faintly heard. Lying on the bamboo bed and feeling the nature, such a state was really wonderful!
After Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi got up, cleaned up and had breakfast, Gu De let Gu Yun Wan led Wanyan Kang and the others to take a look around the vige. He led Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng to elders.
The five elders had been invited to the ancestral temple of the Qiang tribe. This ancestral temple was a house built from stones. It seemed a bit out of ce among these bamboo houses.
After everyone sat down, Gu De told the five elders the reason they came for. When they heard that Feng Cang came with his child to cure the gu, the elders began to discuss.
¡°Curing the gu is not a problem, but you need to follow the rules.¡± Elder Teng Yuan knocked the pocket with the tobo on the shoe of his sole. ¡°Mounting the mountain of daggers, going through the sea of mes and enter the dragon pool. You can¡¯t miss one of these three.¡±
¡°Mm, I agree!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan was ranked third among the elders. The one helping him now was the fourth elder.
¡°The rules of the ancestors had long been set. If outsiders want to solve the gu, they must pass through the three tests. I agree with third elder on this. Although regent is a friend, but the rules couldn¡¯t be ignored. If we broke the rules this time, when the same thing happens next time, then it would be difficult to deal with!¡±
The two elders had already showed their stance. After the other elders thought for a while, they agreed with elder Teng Yuan.
This was the result that Feng Cang expected. He didn¡¯t expect that the elders of the Qiang tribe would amodate in respect of his identity. ¡°The rules couldn¡¯t be ignored. I can understand this. I want to know when I can start with these three tests.¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s answer surprised elder Teng Yuan a bit. He thought that Feng Cang would make threats and put out his identity to ¡®frighten¡¯ people. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party was so frank and straightforward and agreed so directly. This was very different from the description of the ¡®demon wang¡¯ by Longze Jing Tian. This Feng Cang was quite interesting!
The elders negotiated for a while. In the end, they decided to do it in three days.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I couldn¡¯t help you!¡± After leaving the ancestral temple, Ming Yue Cheng felt a bit guilty. Although he followed them, but he was unable to be of any help. His status as the emperor was of no use to these elders of the Qiang tribe.
¡°You introduced chief Gu De to us. That is already the greatest help for us! Ming Yue Cheng, if I can pass the three tests sessfully, I will definitely have a few drinks with you!¡±

2. Wang/wangye: the first-rank prince
Chapter 200 Mounting the mountains of daggers(1)
Chapter 200 Mounting the mountains of daggers(1)
Feng Cang¡¯s optimism made Ming Yue Cheng smile slightly. He (MYC) didn¡¯t know what else to say. When he was still very young, he had followed his mother Miao Chu Yun to White Bird Mountain. At that time, he happened to attend the Torch Festival, a traditional festival held in White Bird Mountain, and he witnessed first-hand how someone mounted the mountain of daggers and dove into the sea of mes.
In the Qiang tribe, those who could mount the mountain of daggers and dive into the sea of mes were called warriors.
The men of the Qiang tribe felt proud when they were addressed as ¡®warriors¡¯. They were trained from an early age and when they entered adulthood, they would prove themselves as ¡®warriors¡¯ at the Torch Festival. This was the tradition of the Qiang tribe, as a man, they had to go through these tests.
Although these two tests were not so difficult in the eyes of the Qiang tribe¡¯s people, to an outsider, this was not only difficult, but their lives were also at stake because if one was careless, one could also injure themselves greatly.
To cure Feng Xiao¡¯s gu this time, Feng Cang must pass through three tests. In three days, he had to go through the first stage, which was mounting the mountain of daggers. Although Feng Cang was full of confidence, Ming Yue Cheng still felt a bit worried in the heart. Those daggers were extremely sharp, and if there was an ident... then the one feeling sad would definitely be Feng Qi Qi.
Ming Yue Cheng went out for a walk and came back with a man in his thirties. ¡°This is my cousin Ah Zha. He¡¯s a warrior of the Qiang tribe!¡±
Beforeing here, Gu Yun Wan had told Feng Qi Qi a lot of things about the Qiang tribe. One of the topics mentioned was the Qiang tribe¡¯s ¡®warriors¡¯. Men addressed as ¡®warriors¡¯ were those who had passed the stages of mounting the mountain of daggers and going through the sea of mes. Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s cousin Ah Zha, was an outstanding warrior amongst the warriors.
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were very touched when they saw that Ming Yue Cheng had asked Ah Zha toe help and support them. Feng Cang and Ah Zha made an agreement for the next morning to go to the top of White Bird Mountain, to learn the techniques for mounting the mountain of daggers.
On the top of the mountain, Ah Zha built a simplified version of the mountain of daggers. The so-called ¡®mounting the mountain of daggers¡¯ was to climb up a ten meters tall tree stump bound with sharp daggers barefooted while using the edges of the des as stepping stones.
¡°These are real daggers!¡± Ah Zha showed the daggers in his hands to Feng Cang and the rest. When he threw it towards the tree, the branches were directly cut off and this had left Wanyan Kang astonished. ¡°No way! This is a real dagger? Then wouldn¡¯t one¡¯s foot be cut off when it touches the des?¡±
Ah Zha took off his shoes and took a deep breath before he walked to the bottom of the tree¡¯sdder made of daggers, then ¡®thud, thud...¡¯ he climbed to the top in one breath. While everyone was still gaping in surprise, ¡®thud, thud...¡¯ he effortlessly climbed down thedder full of daggers again.
¡°Come here, let me check your foot!¡± Wanyan Kang found ¡®mounting the mountain of daggers¡¯ very intriguing. He couldn¡¯t fathom that one¡¯s foot could be left unscathed after stepping on sharp des, but when Ah Zha showed him his unscathed foot, he (WYK) was truly impressed by him.
¡°Warrior Ah Zha, how did you do that? Can you teach me? Did you learn some kind of godly skill? If there¡¯s such a godly skill, then wouldn¡¯t you be impervious to sword or spear in the future?!
Impervious to sword or spear: invulnerable
Wanyan Kang made Ah Zha smile from ear to ear when he addressed him as ¡®Warrior Ah Zha¡¯. It was known that Qiang tribe¡¯s men liked to be addressed as ¡®Warrior¡¯, and that title was something they were extremely proud of.
¡°Have a careful look at my foot again!¡±
When Wanyan Kang examined it carefully again, he discovered that there was a thickyer of callus on Ah Zha¡¯s foot. The daggers had actually left thinly marked lines on the callus, but he didn¡¯t hurt his foot because the callus was very thick.
¡°Oh no, cousin brother! It¡¯s over for you this time!¡±
Wanyan Kang said ¡°it¡¯s over¡± several times in a row, causing Su Mei to be furious. In that instant, a chestnutnded on Wanyan Kang¡¯s head. ¡°What¡¯s over? Guye1 hasn¡¯t even started yet and you say that it¡¯s over, are you cursing him?¡±
¡°No, no, no, that¡¯s not what I meant!¡± Upon feeling that painful sensation on his head, Wanyan Kang immediately hid next to Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Cousin-inw have a look, the callus on Warrior Ah Zha¡¯s foot has obviously umted from a long period of practice, if it wasn¡¯t ten years of efforts, how¡¯s he able to walk freely on the daggers?¡±
What Wanyan Kang said was the truth. Ah Zha smiled while he put on his shoes. ¡°I started training at the age of eight, starting from walking barefooted on sand, then recing sand with pebbles, then recing the pebbles with the edge of the daggers. Then, I finally reced them with the daggers and I¡¯ve practiced for eight years.¡±
When Ah Zha exined it like this, Feng Cang furrowed his brows. Eight years... He obviously did not have so much time as he had to mount the mountain of daggers the day after tomorrow already. How could he find a way in such a short period of time? This matter was really a headache.
This was also the first time that Ming Yue Cheng was observing ¡®mounting the mountain of daggers¡¯ at a close range. His heart sank when he saw those silver-colored shining sharp daggers. Those daggers... If one were to step on them barefooted, wouldn¡¯t their foot be cut in two? There were only two days left, how could Feng Cang pass the test of ¡®mounting the mountain of daggers¡¯?
While everyone was worrying about Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t utter any words, she just stood there on one side and hugged Feng Xiao quietly.
This ¡®mounting the mountain of daggers¡¯ test reminded her of the Lisu tribe of Yunnan from her previous life, they were experts in things like mounting the mountain of daggers and diving into the sea of mes. Feng Qi Qi had watched the Lisu tribe¡¯s performances and had also spoken to a grand master of the Lisu tribe before, so maybe she would be able to assist Feng Cang this time.
I think the author based the Qiang tribe on the Lisu tribe. They held a festival which only take ce every three years on the 15th day of the 10th lunar month.
¡°Warrior Ah Zha, can I trouble you to demonstrate again?¡± Feng Qi Qi came to thedder and asked Ah Zha to make another demonstration. Mounting the mountain of dagger; first, one had to be fast, second, one had to be bnced and third was to step on the right ce.
Feng Qi Qi whispered a few words in Gu Yun Wan¡¯s ear. Gu Yun Wan immediately brought five pair of socks. Feng Qi Qi handed Feng Xiao to Su Mei. She took off her slippers and wore the five pair of socks and came to thedder.
¡°Qing Qing, what do you want to do?¡± Feng Cang grabbed Feng Qi Qi. Feng Cang was clear about how sharp these daggers were. Now, looking at Feng Qi Qi being like this, it seemed like she wanted to mount the mountain of daggers only wearing socks. What if she injures her feet?
¡°Cang, after seeing warrior Ah Zha mount the mountain of dagger, I thought of a strategy to deal with it and want to try it.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Feng Cang and Ming Yue Cheng opened their mouth at the same time to stop her. Ah Zha already said it very clearly. He had trained for eight years before he achieved such results. Feng Qi Qi just watched it once, how could she get the knack of how to do it?
¡°Cang, believe me!¡± Feng Qi Qi pulled Feng Cang to a side. ¡°Do you remember about my past life that I mentioned to you? There is also mounting the mountain of daggers there! I had been given guidance by a high-skilled expert once. It is presumably the same as this. Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen to me!¡±
Feng Qi Qi was so sure. Feng Cang could only nod. It seemed that he was always ¡®defeated¡¯ by the insistence of Feng Qi Qi. It seemed that in this life, he would be held tenaciously by this woman!
¡°Cang, look carefully at where I step on!¡±
Before mounting the mountain of daggers, Feng Qi Qi smiled at Feng Cang. She imitated Ah Zha; five toes hooked and held on the de.
Unlike the speed of Ah Zha, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s movements were a bit slow. Feng Cang paid attention to where Feng Qi Qi stepped on and recorded her movements in his heart.
At this time, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart hung at his throat. Ming Yue Cheng was somewhat dissatisfied with Feng Cang for letting Feng Qi Qi mount the mountain of daggers. If it was him, he wouldn¡¯t let any mishap happen to Feng Qi Qi. Even if it was an ident that may possible happen, he wouldn¡¯t allow it to have a chance.
Looking at Feng Qi Qi climb on the sharp daggers, Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s heart jumped in his throat. Even his breathing became heavy. If something went wrong, he would definitely be the one to catch her first.
The way Feng Qi Qi climbed thedder made Ah Zha look with his mouth wide open and he was astonished. There had never been a woman who could mount the mountain of daggers. Not to mention that Feng Qi Qi was such a fragile woman. Although, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s movements were not fast, but her feet were not injured. If this was the first time that she mounted the mountain of daggers, then, it was simply too amazing!
When Feng Qi Qi stepped on the edge of the des from the top to the bottom, the people waiting at the side finally felt relieved.
¡°Miss, are you alright?!¡± Su Mei rushed forward to check Feng Qi Qi¡¯s soles. Three of the fiveyers of socks were cut without hurting the feet.
¡°It seemed that my technique is still not perfect, ah!¡± Feng Qi Qi saidughingly. Ah Zha gave Feng Qi Qi a thumbs-up. ¡°Wangfei2 is really amazing! If wangfei was a man, you will definitely be a warrior!¡±
Ah Zha admired Feng Qi Qi very much. As a woman, she was able to go back and forth from thedder of daggers. It was really not easy! Ah Zha was not a fool. Feng Qi Qi just looked at him and she was able to find the know-how. This woman was very smart.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi was fine, Feng Cang was relieved. Just now, he looked very carefully. The hand Feng Qi Qi held the de with was in the shape of a w. Her feet didn¡¯t step on the de. Instead, she stepped on the side. This was probably the know-how that Feng Qi Qi wanted to tell him.
¡°Cang...¡± Feng Qi Qi put on her shoes and whispered something in Feng Cang¡¯s ear. Feng Cang nodded. It was indeed the same as he had summed up. Feng Qi Qi just used the principle of the qinggong3. She transferred the strength of the lower body to the upper body.
With Feng Qi Qi¡¯s demonstration, Feng Cang also changed into socks. ¡°I will give it a try!¡±
After one round, four pairs of socks were cut by the sharp edges, leaving only thestyer of sock to protect Feng Cang¡¯s feet. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s body was light. Feng Cang was a man. Naturally he weighted much more than Feng Qi Qi. The pressure would also be greater.
Ah Zha who was watching at a side couldn¡¯t help but nod. Although these two people mounted the mountain of daggers for the first time, but they were able to not hurt their feet by only wearing five pairs of socks. However, the real mounting the mountain of daggers would be barefooted like how he did it just now. Feng Cang was already very good but mounting the mountain of daggers barefooted without the protection of the socks, the soles of his feet may be cut off.
¡°Cousin Ah Zha, help my friend!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng also know the of this. He personally asked help from Ah Zha. The men of Qiang tribe learned mounting the mountain of daggers from the most capable warriors of the vige since young. Ah Zha was now a teacher who taught the you children in the vige. If he can help Feng Cang, Feng Cang would surely pass.
Ah Zha was Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s empress mother Miao Yu Chun¡¯s big brother¡¯s son. Later, the whole Miao family was executed unto the third generation. Ah Zha had been sent back to White Bird mountain by Gu De and preserved the bloodline of the Miao family. It could be said that these two people were the closest rted by blood in the vige.
Ming Yue Cheng personally asked for help from him. Ah Zha smiled honestly. He wasn¡¯t a fool. When Feng Qi Qi was climbing thedder of daggers, the worried look of Ming Yue Cheng fell into Ah Zha¡¯s eyes. However, Feng Qi Qi was Feng Cang¡¯s wife which means that it was doomed that there would be no future between them.
¡°Ah Cheng, ah!¡± Ah Zha patted Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s shoulder. The Miao family were very affectionate people. Ming Yue Cheng was deeply in love. It seemed that it would be impossible for him to extricate himself!
¡°For your face, I will help!¡±
Ah Zha¡¯s thoughts were very simple. Ming Yue Cheng likes Feng Qi Qi, but the beauty was already married another. Then, at least he should let Ming Yue Cheng have a certain position in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart. At least, he (AZ) should let her feel grateful to him (MYC). Like that, even if they couldn¡¯t be lovers, they could always remain friends.
Ah Zha wanted to help. Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang was very happy. They were even more grateful towards Ming Yue Cheng.
For two days, Feng Cang had been learning the skills of mounting the mountain of daggers from Ah Zha at the top of White Bird mountain. In two days, Ah Zha taught everything he knew to Feng Cang. It was just, the time that Feng Cang had for training was very short. Two days were fleeting. In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the test.
Everyone looked intently at Feng Cang. This Bei Zhou¡¯s wangye4, for his beloved son, came from far away to cure the gu. This had long been spread throughout the vige. The performance of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi that night at the campfire was very well liked by the people of the Qiang tribe. Now, Feng Cang wanted to pass the three tests. These people admired him even more.
Regardless of whether Feng Cang would pass the three tests, the things he did for his son were enough to show that Feng Cang was someone responsible and a father who loves his child.
¡°Add oil!¡± Ah Zha cheered Feng Cang. These past two days, Feng Cang trained from day to night. That kind of -hard-working and not admitting to defeat- spirit made Ah Zha admire him very much.
Although it was only two days, but Feng Cang had already mastered the know-how of the mounting the mountain of daggers. Thest time he climbed thedder yesterday, Feng Cang wore one pair of socks. When he came down, only a few fibres from the socks were cut. To Feng Cang, this was already a big improvement.
Ordinary people had to train for seven to eight years to achieve this. Feng Cang had achieved such a result in two days. In Ah Zha¡¯s words, Feng Cang was really a genius.
¡°Do your best! I believe that you will seed!¡± Ah Zha made a fist and gently hit Feng Cang¡¯s chest. ¡°Rx!¡±
With the cheers of the people of Qiang tribe, Feng Cang stood under thedder. Unlike the training, today¡¯sdder was increased by ten meters. There were thirty-six daggers. Doubled were seventy-two. The longdder reached the clouds. The sharp daggers shone under the re on the sun.
1. Guye: son-inw, also used by the female¡¯s family
2. Wangfei: main consort of the first-wank prince
3. Qingqong is a martial arts technique for making the body extremely light in weight, by altering the distribution and flow of qi
4. Wangye: prince of first rank
Chapter 201 (Part 1) Mounting the mountains of daggers (2)
Chapter 201 (Part 1) Mounting the mountains of daggers (2)
The traditional music of the Qiang tribe began to y. The drummers beat violently on the thick drums. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Feng Cang kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead and hugged Feng Xiao. Then, he took off his shoes and stood below thedder of daggers.
¡°I don¡¯t know if Feng Cang can pass smoothly!¡± Fourth elder sat next to elder Teng Yuan and watched him y with the tobo. ¡°Third brother, what are you smoking? Why is it veryfortable to smell?! Give me some to try!¡±
¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just ordinary tobo leaves!¡± Elder Teng Yuan waved his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s look at Feng Cang mount the mountain of daggers!¡± Elder Teng Yuan didn¡¯t want to share the Immortal cream with others. This thing was very precious! If he gave some to fourth elder, he wouldn¡¯t have for himself.
Elder Teng Yuan changed the topic to Feng Cang. He seeded in letting fourth elder dispel the thoughts about the Immortal cream.
At this time, Feng Cang had climbed on the scalingdder. What left elder Teng Yuan surprised was that Feng Cang could climb freely on the des. Elder Teng Yuan knew that Ah Zha was teaching Feng Cang for these past two days. He didn¡¯t stop it because he didn¡¯t believe that a non-native person could do this in just two or three days.
But now the facts were put in front of elder Teng Yuan, making it so that he couldn¡¯t help but believe. Feng Cang was like a nimble wind and climbed on the 20-meter highdder. Everyone was attracted by the wonderful performance of Feng Cang. The other elders also praised Feng Cang without cease.
¡°I heard that Ah Zha only taught him for two days. This person is really a genius!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Even the warriors of our tribe haven¡¯t mastered the skills of the mountain of daggers so fast. Feng Cang is really too amazing!¡±
These words reached elder Teng Yuan non-stop. He smoked, and his brow were locked. Feng Cang was able toplete the training that would took the people of the Qiang tribe for many years in such a sort time. He had to say that this person was a bit powerful.
If it was under normal circumstances, elder Teng Yuan would feel that two hearts beat as one when meeting such a person. However now, he had an agreement with Longze Jing Tian. This thing had be difficult to handle.
The people on the scene were nervous at first. They were afraid that something would happen to someone as brilliant as Feng Cang. However, after watching for a while, Feng Cang was able to climb up twenty meters so rxed. The people of the Qiang tribe began to cheer.
¡°Warrior!¡± ¡°Warrior!¡± The people began to use the word ¡®warrior¡¯ to call Feng Cang. The drumsticks in the hands of the drummers began to beat harder and fiercer as if they wanted to boost support for Feng Cang.
Feng Cang wasn¡¯t disturbed by the voices. He had a denseyer of sweat on his jade-like forehead. The height of twenty meters was more difficult than the training. Plus, today he didn¡¯t wear socks and was barefooted. The difficulty factor was doubled.
At this time, Feng Cang¡¯s expression was a bit grave. His hands and feet were in the form of a hook. Every step he took was careful.
Not far away, Feng Qi Qi held Feng Xiao. Her heart wasn¡¯t much rxed than Feng Cang¡¯s. ¡°Xiao er1, let¡¯s add oil for daddy!¡± Feng Qi Qi held Feng Xiao¡¯s little hand. Her eyes were locked on Feng Cang. Her heart jumped faster with each step that Feng Cang took.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi was so nervous that her face was a bit pale, Ming Yue Chengforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Nothing will happen to Feng Cang!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s words didn¡¯t eliminate Feng Qi Qi¡¯s worry. In Feng Qi Qi¡¯s point of view, only when Feng Cang safely climbed up and down thedder of daggers and was indeed not injured, she could then rest assured.
Everyone was paying attention to Feng Cang. No one saw Taji Guli in the depths of the jungle.
From the moment Feng Cang went up thedder daggers, the strings of Taji Guli¡¯s heart were tightened. She didn¡¯t think that Feng Cang would really go climb thedder of daggers. Such a dangerous thing, he still did it barefooted. This man is really crazy!
As soon as she thought that everything Feng Cang did was for Feng Qi Qi and Feng Xiao, Taji Guli itched to rush over there and throttle Feng Xiao to death. These past few days, she had been looking for opportunities to kidnap Feng Xiao. However, there were always high-skilled experts at Feng Xiao¡¯s side. Taji Guli had no chance to approach him.
From Taji Guli¡¯s point of view, Feng Xiao was the root of all evil. As long as she had killed Feng Xiao, there would be no need for Feng Cang to pass through the three tests and he also wouldn¡¯t be in danger. It was just, Feng Qi Qi protected Feng Xiao too well. She had no way of taking action. Originally, Taji Guli wanted to give up on this idea, but after seeing Feng Cang doing such a dangerous thing, Taji Guli finally made up her mind. She must destroy Feng Xiao, otherwise he (FX) would definitely destroy Feng Cang!
Time seemed to be particrly slow. The entire scene was quiet. Even the drummers put down the drumsticks in their hands. Everyone stared at Feng Cang. Some even held their breaths for fear of missing something.
¡°Thud, thud...¡± Feng Qi Qi could hear her heartbeat elerate. She held Feng Xiao and looked at Feng Cang without blinking. Until when Feng Cang¡¯sst footstep reached the ground and the cheers rang, did Feng Qi Qi came out of daze.
¡°Warrior, warrior, warrior!¡± The people of the Qiang tribe cheered in unison. Everyone pped their hands.
¡°So great! So great! Passed the first test!¡± Su Mei happily held Wanyan Kang¡¯s hand and jumped. Gu Yun Wan also couldn¡¯t help but p her hands and congratted. Even Gu De couldn¡¯t help but nod smilingly.
Jin Mo went forward to carefully inspect Feng Cang¡¯s feet. Except for the small cut on the small toe of the left foot, there was no other wound. Jin Mo put a creamy white ster on Feng Cang¡¯s wound. Such a small wound would heal in one night.
¡°Great elder, what do you...¡± Gu De looked at the great elder of the five elders to let him announce the result. Great elder discussed with the other four elders for a while. Great elder stood up. ¡°Feng Cang smoothly passed the first test!¡±
Only when the screams reached his ears did Feng Cang really feel rxed. The breath that was stuck in his throat just now also came out.
After passing the first test, what was waiting for Feng Cang was the second test: going through the sea of mes. In consideration that Feng Cang just passed the first test, the elders unanimously decided to go through the second test five dayster.
The second test going through the sea of mes was much harder than the first test. Of course, to the men of the Qiang tribe, this was not a difficult thing. Ah Zha exined the details of going through the sea of mes to Feng Cang. There were no other tricks, there was only one know-how. That was to ask a great mage to chant a spell.
¡°A spell?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! A spell! When we pass through the sea of mes, the great mage would read a special spell. This kind of spell was like a gift from god, attaching to our bodies. Even if we step on the hot charcoal, we won¡¯t feel hot. Instead, we will feel cold.¡±
Ah Zha¡¯s exnation was very difficult for the others to understand. Only Feng Qi Qi, after hearing it, she felt even more that the Qiang tribe had some simrities to the Lisu tribe of the previous life. Lisu tribe also had such statements. She had once seen such a performance with her own eyes. She just didn¡¯t know what the spell of the Qiang tribe was!
¡°Warrior Ah Zha, who is the most famous mage of the vige?¡±
¡°This, of course is elder Teng Yuan! However, elder Teng Yuan won¡¯t help you! ording to the rules, when non-native peoplee to ask for help, they can only use their own strength to pass the three tests. Even if elder Teng Yuan was weird and often do some unexpected things, but as a member of the elders, he wouldn¡¯t vite the rules of the vige.¡±
Ah Zha¡¯s words didn¡¯t let Feng Qi Qi lose confidence. Instead, she wanted to see this elder Teng Yuan.
With the lead of Ah Zha, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi arrived at elder Teng Yuan¡¯s. Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s bamboo building was a remote. The small building was hidden in a verdant wood. From afar, it was impossible to tell where the difference between the bamboo building and the treesy.
¡°Elder Teng Yuan!¡± Ah Zha stood in front of elder Teng Yuan. He screamed a few times but didn¡¯t receive any response. Only when Ah Zha went forward and pushed elder Teng Yuan did hee out of daze.
¡°Oh, Ah Zha, it¡¯s you...¡± Elder Teng Yuan narrowed his eyes. From the fog, he saw Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi who followed behind Ah Zha.
1. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 201 (Part 2) Mounting the mountains of daggers (2)
Chapter 201 (Part 2) Mounting the mountains of daggers (2)
Elder Teng Yuan was surprised at Ah Zha sudden visit. However, after seeing Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi behind Ah Zha, elder Teng Yuan immediately understood the reason for theiring.
The moment Feng Qi Qi entered the house, she smelled a particr smell. When she found out the source of this smell, it was actually from elder Teng Yuan¡¯s tobo pipe. Feng Qi Qi felt it was a bit strange that there was a problem with her sense of smell. Until when the smell got stronger when she got closer to elder Teng Yuan, she affirmed that there was a problem with this smell.
¡°Little girl, why are you looking at me?¡± Noticing that Feng Qi Qi looked at him, elder Teng Yuan inhaled thest bit of smoke and slowly blew it out. ¡°I know you came here for the sea of mes, but I can¡¯t help you with this matter! The elders wouldn¡¯t ept passing the test by cheating! Since you have the heart to cure the gu for your son, everything should depend on your own ability!¡±
¡°Elder, you may have misunderstood!¡± After patiently listening to elder Teng Yuan, Feng Cang smiled politely, ¡°I just haven¡¯t seen the sea of mes and want to invite you and Ah Zha to demonstrate it once!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s answer surprised elder Teng Yuan once again. In his memory, it seemed that those in power liked to suppress people with their identity and enjoyed this process without ever getting tired of it. Before, he heard that Ming Yue Cheng asked Ah Zha to help Feng Cang, elder Teng Yuan mistakenly thought that Feng Cang was also such a person. Now, he (FC) said so was somewhat unexpected.
¡°Really, just a demonstration?¡± Elder Teng Yuan didn¡¯t believe it.
¡°Just a demonstration. Elder is right. I came to cure the gu for my son. I can only rely on myself. I can break the rules of thousand years of the Qiang tribe because of my identity.
¡°Alright! Then, let¡¯s do it now!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan told Ah Zha to find some people to ignite several bundles of dry wood. When the dry wood burned into charcoal, elder Teng Yuan began to cite in a sacred manner. At the same time, Ah Zha seemed like a changed person and stood upright.
¡°Go!¡± Elder Teng Yuan gestured with his hand. Ah Zha stepped barefooted on the red charcoal.
There wasn¡¯t the smell of fire burning the flesh. That red charcoal burned under Ah Zha¡¯s feet, but nothing happened to Ah Zha¡¯s feet. When Ah Zha had walked through the charcoal fire, Feng Cang sighed deeply. ¡°Too miraculous!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words let elder Teng Yuan feel very prideful. Qiang tribe¡¯s mountain of daggers and sea of mes were presumably the things that let people exim in admiration the most. No country, no tribe would have such fierce ¡®national characteristics¡¯ like mountain of daggers and sea of mes. Feng Cang was lucky to pass the first test. No matter what, he wouldn¡¯t be able to pass the second test anyway.
¡°What do you think? Did you look carefully? Do you want me to demonstrate once more?¡±
Elder Teng Yuan said this to Feng Qi Qi. He knew that Feng Qi Qi yed an important role in the first test of Feng Cang. This woman could quickly sum up the experience when Ah Zha was climbing thedder of daggers, making people couldn¡¯t help but have to admit that her wisdom was extraordinary.
Just this time, it won¡¯t be so easy! Because the spell had always been passed down from generation to generation. It was passed down to the males and not females. Besides, it was only passed down to the natives of the tribe. Even if Feng Qi Qi was highly intelligent, she wouldn¡¯t be able to guess the mystery of this spell. This time, Feng Cang lost for sure.
Just when elder Teng Yuan thought that Feng Qi Qi would give up, he didn¡¯t expect that Feng Qi Qi would bow to him respectfully. ¡°I didn¡¯t see clearly, troubling elder to demonstrate once again!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words were unexpected. Seeing her appearance of truly wanting to learn, elder Teng Yuan smashed the ashes on the sole of his shoe. ¡°Alright! This time you need to look carefully. This is thest time!¡±
Feng Qi Qi nodded at Feng Cang. The two separated the jobs. Feng Qi Qi looked at elder Teng Yuan¡¯s lips that were citing the spell. Feng Cang¡¯s gaze hadn¡¯t left Ah Zha¡¯s feet.
Until the end of the demonstration did Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi retrieve their gaze. ¡°Thank you, elder Teng Yuan!¡± Feng Qi Qi was somewhat grateful. In the past, adoptive father forced her to learn how to read lips. So, after two times, Feng Qi Qi already figured out what elder Teng Yuan was citing.
Before she left, Feng Qi Qi expressed her gratitude to elder Teng Yuan. She also said, ¡°Elder, had you been taking some special medicine recently. If you had, the listen to my advice. This thing is not medicine. It is poison. It would make people be addicted to the drug. If you continue to take it, you will be a useless person. You will be from a strong person to a weak person without the strength to even truss a chicken. At the end, you will die very miserably!¡±
Others didn¡¯t understand Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words. Only elder Teng Yuan, after he heard her say so, his face changed slightly.
How did Feng Qi Qi know that she was smoking the Immortal cream? He didn¡¯t tell anyone about this. Could it be that Feng Qi Qi just smelled the smoke in his house and guessed what he was doing? It was just, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words were frightening words to scare people! What is dying very miserably? Was she threatening him?
Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s expression already showed his inner thoughts. It seemed that this old man didn¡¯t know about the harm of opium. Feng Qi Qi smiled helplessly, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can let a doctor check it. The scientific name of this drug is called opium. It is ck and solid. It is usually packed in a cigarette bag and mixed with tobo.¡±
¡°In the beginning, opium could relieve pain and the muscles to let people rx. However, after taking it for a while, it would let people immerse in the infinite fantasy and let people rely on it. Then, if you don¡¯t take it for one day, your whole body would be ufortable and would bepletely inseparable from it.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know for how long elder had taken it and also don¡¯t know how dependent you are now of it. I only want to ask you to listen to my advice. Even if you don¡¯t care about yourself, you should think about all the people of the Qiang tribe. If you let another also get addicted to this drug, then you would be harming others and harming yourself!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s description was the same as what elder Teng Yuan had experienced. How did she know about the Immortal cream? Why would Feng Qi Qi call the Immortal cream opium? Elder Teng Yuan was very sceptical about what Feng Qi Qi had said. Now, he somewhat believed her because the state of the Immortal cream and what one would feel after taking the Immortal cream described by Feng Qi Qi was exactly the same as the experience of elder Teng Yuan.
Could it be that this Immortal cream is the ¡®opium¡¯ that Feng Qi Qi mentioned? If it was like that, then could the purpose for Duyi¡¯s group to rmend the Immortal cream to him be to let him get addicted and then easily control him?
Elder Teng Yuan wasn¡¯t a fool. He could judge the truth and the falseness of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words. Before, elder Teng Yuan was happy for having gotten the Immortal cream. Now, he panicked in his heart.
His current dependence of the Immortal had be from twice every two days to twice a day.
Until after Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang left for a long time, elder Teng Yuan was still thinking about the Immortal cream. He took out the small box. After he opened it, he looked to the ck Immortal cream under the sunlight. Elder Teng Yuan frowned. Who should he believe?
Ah Zha trained Feng Cang on the top of the mountain. Feng Qi Qi went to search for Gu De and Ming Yue Cheng and told them about the harm of the opium. After they heard that opium let a strong country perish, Ming Yue Cheng and Gu De were shocked.
¡°Is it really such a powerful drug?¡± Gu De had never heard about opium or had ever seen it. Now, Feng Qi Qi told it like this, he still had some doubts.
¡°Yes!¡± Naturally, Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t tell them that this happened in the history of another world. She would be seen as a monster if she told them. In order to let Gu De and Ming Yue Cheng believe her and also to prevent the opium from spreading through this continent and harm the people, Feng Qi Qi put what had happened in the past on Peni Ind.
¡°When I was at Peni Ind, master Taixu told this story. He also taught me how to recognize the opium and also showed me the finished product.¡±
With the name of Peni ind, Gu Depletely believed Feng Qi Qi. Now, Feng Qi Qi said that elder Teng Yuan was taking opium, this immediately caught Gu De¡¯s attention. ¡°Elder Teng Yuan is the elder of the tribe. How could he have opium?¡±
¡°This, I don¡¯t know. When I looked at elder Teng Yuan¡¯s appearance, it seemed that he had been addicted for some time. I think someone gave it to him. I don¡¯t know what the purpose is for giving it to him. However, I can be sure that the opium is not a good thing! Not only can it ruin a person, it can destroy a tribe and a country!¡±
When he heard that opium could destroy a tribe, Gu De¡¯s heartpletely leaned on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. As the chief of the Qiang tribe, Gu De¡¯s mission was to carry the Qiang tribe to great heights. Now, there was such a thing that could destroy the Qiang tribe. For chief Gu De, this was something that he didn¡¯t want to see happen.
¡°Qi Qi, if, I say if elder Teng Yuan really took the opium that you mentioned and also got addicted to it, then what should we do?¡±
Ming Yue Cheng frowned. He didn¡¯t think that there would be such a drug in this world that could destroy a country. If opium was produced inrge quantities by people with ulterior motives, then wouldn¡¯t it be very bad? Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t doubt Feng Qi Qi at all. He even thought that Feng Qi Qi said it too lightly. Perhaps, the facts would be crueller than what she said.
¡°Kick the drug habit by force! If he doesn¡¯t want to die, he can only kick the drug habit by force.¡±
¡°Good! I will let people go investigate. If elder Teng Yuan truly got addicted, by then, I have to trouble wangfei1 to help!¡± Gu De¡¯s understanding of opium came from what Feng Qi Qi told him. Now, it was rted to the well-being of the Qiang tribe, Gu De couldn¡¯t not put this matter on his heart. Moreover, elder Teng Yuan was an elder of the Qiang tribe. No matter what, Gu De wouldn¡¯t let elder Teng Yuan be addicted instead of helping him.
Gu De was just about to go see elder Teng Yuan, when Jin Mo rushed over. ¡°Not good! Miss Gu is missing!¡±
The moment he heard that his beloved daughter was missing, Gu De lost his mind. He strode forward and grabbed Jin Mo¡¯s cor. He red fiercely at him. ¡°What happened? What had happened? Where did my daughter go to?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. I only saw such a note.¡±
Gu De let him go and took the note from Jin Mo. On the white paper, there was only one sentence. ¡°Don¡¯t cure the gu for Feng Xiao, otherwise your daughter will die without doubt.¡±
Gu Yun Wan was kidnapped. This was like a bolt out of the blue sky for Gu De. White Bird mountain was the territory of the Qiang tribe. On Qiang tribe¡¯s territory someone kidnapped his, the chief¡¯s daughter. How could Gu De not be shocked?
After reading the letters on the paper, Feng Qi Qi immediately determined the other party¡¯s identity, ¡°This is Longze Jing Tian¡¯s handwriting!¡±
¡°How do you know?¡± Ming Yue Cheng asked. Ever since the defeat of Xi Qi, Longze Jing Tian had disappeared without trace. Ming Yue Cheng had sent people to find the whereabouts of Longze Jing Tian, but every time when he got some clues, Longze Jing Tian would escape.
¡°I know his handwriting. He once wrote the ¡°Breaking off engagement letter¡± to me. I just didn¡¯t expect that he hid in Nan Feng and hid in White Bird mountain!¡±
The meaning of the note was very obvious. If they want to let Gu Yun Wan live, they must give up on curing the gu for Feng Xiao. Only Longze Jing Tian had such great hatred with Feng Cang. Since Longze Jing Tian was here, would Taji Guli also be here?
In a hidden cave at White Bird mountain, Taji Guli looked full of anger at Duyi. ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree on kidnapping Feng Xiao? Why did you kidnap her? What use does it have to kidnap her?¡±
It turned out that today, Taji Guli sneaked into the vige. She had found Feng Xiao who was sleeping in the cradle. She nned to take him away. At this time, Gu Yun Wan came over to look at the child and happened toe face to face with Taji Guli.
If it wasn¡¯t because Duyi followed behind her and made Gu Yun Wan faint, they likely would have been caught today.
However, Taji Guli was dissatisfied that Duyi didn¡¯t take Feng Xiao. Duyi didn¡¯t want to touch an innocent child. The time was tight and someone came over. That was why Taji Guli gave up on kidnapping Feng Xiao.
¡°Guli, if you don¡¯t want Feng Cang to hate you, then, don¡¯t touch his child.¡± Duyi had always disapproved of Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli¡¯s idea. Feng Xiao was just a child who didn¡¯t know anything. Even if there was a grudge, you can¡¯t take it out on a child.
However, today, Longze Jing Tian stood on Taji Guli¡¯s side. Taji Guli secretly went to Qiang tribe¡¯s vige. Fortunately, he and Duyi followed her. Originally, he wanted to take the child away, but was stopped by Duyi. If it wasn¡¯t because Jin Mo came, he would¡¯ve insisted on taking Feng Xiao instead of hastily leaving a note.
¡°No matter what method is used, isn¡¯t it alright as long your purpose is achieved?! Now, Gu Yun Wan is in our hands. Gu De only has one beloved daughter. He certainly wouldn¡¯t leave his daughter and not care about her.¡±
Duyi wanted to persuade his two partners, but after seeing their expressions, Duyi felt a bit disappointed. Although, he also disliked Feng Cang, at least he wanted to achieve some sess that he could be proud of. This dream was destroyed in Feng Cang¡¯s hands. However, he wouldn¡¯t vent his anger on an innocent child because he hated Feng Cang. That was not a man¡¯s behaviour!
¡°What should we do now? If Gu De searched the mountain, where should we hide? After all, here is their territory!¡± Taji Guli ignored Duyi. To her, Duyi was a fool. Even if you exin some things ten thousand times to him, he wouldn¡¯t understand them. This was the so-called generation gap.
The question raised by Taji Guli was exactly what Longze Jing Tian was thinking about. Gu Yun Wan having been kidnapped, Gu De certainly wouldn¡¯t leave the matter at that. No one was more familiar with White Bird mountain than the Qiang tribe. If they sealed and searched the mountain, the three of them certainly couldn¡¯t bepared to the people of the Qiang tribe who was born and raised here. Maybe, it wouldn¡¯t even take two days before they would be found!
¡°Since we started it, we must carry it through. Why don¡¯t we kill her?! Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to bring her into hiding.¡±
While Taji Guli was talking, Gu Yun Wan happened to wake up. When she opened her eyes and saw the environment in front of her eyes, she was a bit puzzled. When she saw that offbeat face of Taji Guli, Gu Yun Wan understood that she had been kidnapped.
¡°Who are you?¡± Gu Yun Wan didn¡¯t show panic. Even after she heard that Taji Guli wanted to kill her, she didn¡¯t show the slightest panic. The enemy was three people. She was obviously heavily outnumbered. At this time, being calm and rational was the best way.
¡°We? Hehe, you don¡¯t need to know who we are. Because, it won¡¯t be long before you be a corpse.¡± Taji Guli walked smilingly to Gu Yun Wan. The dagger in her hand gestured in front of Gu Yun Wan¡¯s face.

Chapter 202 (Part 1) Love is in sky of affection (1)
Gu Yun Wan wasn¡¯t a little girl and wasn¡¯t scared by Taji Guli¡¯s actions. She had experienced too many storms. In just a moment, she determined her current situation. She only knew Longze Jing Tian amongst the three. When Nan Feng attacked Xi Qi, she had seen Longze Jing Tian from afar.
Now, Longze Jing Tian appeared at White Bird mountain. This made Gu Yun Wan feel very surprised. When she looked at Taji Guli, Gu Yun Wan had once seen her on the wanted poster in Bei Zhou. She didn¡¯t expect that they ganged up together. Really birds of a feather flock together!
¡°You want to kill me?¡± Gu Yun Wan sneered.
¡°Here is White Bird mountain and the territory of the Qiang tribe. If you kill me, you also won¡¯t have a good oue! My father won¡¯t let you off! Perhaps now, my father already knows that I had been kidnapped and the whole vige had been moved to search for me. It won¡¯t take long before they find me and also find you!¡±
What Gu Yun Wan said was exactly what Longze Jing Tian was worried about.
He didn¡¯t want to die. Gu Yun Wan was right. Even if they kill her, they wouldn¡¯t have any good oue. Instead, they would anger Gu De and bring a bigger trouble to them. However, Gu Yun Wan is a living person. It¡¯s very difficult to hide her. What should they do?
¡°On the way here, I saw a deep hole left by hunters at the side of the mountain. Let¡¯s threw her there and cover her with leaves. Then, threw some bodies of dead animals with her to use the smell as cover. No one will find her.¡±
The one who spoke was Duyi. He once used this trick to deal with aa disciple who was in conflict with him. It worked well. When that person was discovered, he had already died for a long time fromck of water. No one had ever found out that this was done by him.
Duyi¡¯s idea made Gu Yun Wan startled. This man was really vicious. He was actually able toe up with such an idea. Not only would the smell of rotting flesh eliminate the idea of people to inspect but it would also attract beasts. He did this just to get more time for them and let her die in the hole.
¡°This idea is not bad! Let¡¯s do it like that!¡± Longze Jing Tian quickly understood the meaning of Duyi¡¯s words. He let Taji Guli block Gu Yun Wan¡¯s mouth. Gu Yun Wan wanted to struggle, but her limbs were bound. She simply couldn¡¯t go against Taji Guli¡¯s brute force.
Gu Yun Wan whose mouth was blocked by a cloth didn¡¯t brutally fight back but instead she huddled quietly. She held her hands behind her body. In her heart, she was silently reading a gu spell. A small worm came out from her fingertip. When it fell on the ground, it merged with the grass. If you don¡¯t look carefully, you won¡¯t see it.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Duyi went forward, put Gu Yun Wan on his back and carried her out of the cave. The three soon found the deep hole left by the hunters. Duyi hit Gu Yun Wan¡¯s acupuncture point. Then, he took something to put in her mouth and threw her on the ground. Taji Guli cut a lot of green branches and threw them inside the hole.
Theyers of leaves obscured Gu Yun Wan. Duyi threw a few dead rabbits inside. The rotting smell was released in a short time. After doing these, Duyi inspected for thest time before he pped the dust from his hands and left with Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli.
Bastard! Gu Yun Wan smelled the rotting smell and wanted to vomit. She now had some regrets for not learning the study of the gu from Gu De when she was young. Otherwise, it would¡¯ve been a piece of cake to deal with these three people; if it was like that, how would she be in such a sorry state now?
Gu De originally put two gu on Gu Yun Wan to let her protect herself in the pce of Nan Feng. It was just, after Ming Yue Cheng ascended the throne, Gu Yun Wan felt that there was no need and returned the gu to Gu De.
The gu she released just now was a gu Gu Yun Wan raised from a young age. Unfortunately, usually she was toozy to train it. That gu was just a smallrva, didn¡¯t have much power and also couldn¡¯t protect her.
Now, the only thing that Gu Yun Wan hoped was that her gu could fly back to the vige and bring people to save her.
However, Gu Yun Wan was also not sure whether this thing will seed. After all, here was too far from the vige. Her gu was too small. It was difficult to say if it had the ability to fly back. Besides, there were many birds in the woods. They were the natural enemies of worms. Although, birds were also very afraid of the gu but her gu was too small and didn¡¯t have much destructive power. Then, she would be really without aid.
Gu Yun Wany alone in the stinky cave. She wasn¡¯t able to move. The dead rabbits next to her gave off a bloody smell. She knew that before long, this bloody smell would be a rotting smell and would attract a variety of snakes and worms. If by that time she still can¡¯t leave here, she would really be buried here.
At the vige, that Gu Yun Wan was missing spread throughout the vige in a short time. Everyone gathered at the square in the vige.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Men, women, children and elders were all holding torches and prepared to search for Gu Yun Wan. The daughter of the chief was missing. Moreover, she had been kidnapped in their vige. To the people of the Qiang tribe, this was absolutely intolerable.
¡°Chief, don¡¯t worry! We will definitely find great miss!¡±
In the end, the elders stayed at home to look after the children. The middle-aged group grouped in ten people, held a torch and went up the mountain to search for Gu Yun Wan. Feng Qi Qi needed to take care of Feng Xiao, so she also stayed. Feng Cang joined the team of looking for Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Great miss! Where are you?! Great miss!¡±
A string of long torches with the shouts of people echoed in the forest.
Gu Yun Wan who was thrown into the deep hole heard her name half-consciously. She wanted to answer but was unable to make a sound. She wanted to sit up, but her acupuncture point had been blocked. At this time, Gu Yun Wan couldn¡¯t do anything. She could only worry helplessly.
¡°Great miss! Great miss!¡±
Everyone searched carefully on the mountain. They didn¡¯t let go of any ce, including the holes dug for hunting. Hearing that the sounds were getting closer and closer, Gu Yun Wan was very excited. She wished she could shout, ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± However, she couldn¡¯t move at all.
The torches gathered around the deep hole where Gu Yun Wan was located. Some people looked inside. Several people came together. The people looked for a while and only saw some leaves and shadows and also smelled the rotten smell. ¡°There¡¯s no one!¡± Someone shook his head.
After hearing this Gu Yun Wan got anxious. I¡¯m here! I¡¯m right here! Gu Yun Wan was very anxious but she could only feel the disappearance of the light of the fire. The surrounding had be quiet again.
Bastards! Now, Gu Yun Wan hated Longze Jing Tian¡¯s group very much. These three people actually hid in White Bird mountain. They are certainly doing disadvantageous things to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. Now, she was trapped here and there was no way notify them. She hoped that her small gu could go back!
One night had soon passed. The people of Qiang tribe who had searched for a whole night didn¡¯t find Gu Yun Wan. After the sky became bright, everyone returned to the square of the vige. When Gu De heard this news, he almost fell. Fortunately, Ming Yue Cheng supported his back.
Just the thought that his only daughter had been kidnapped and her whereabouts were unknown, Gu De felt anxious. His eyes were bloodshot. He had never been so panicked before. Even when Gu Yun Wan married into the pce as hostage, he wasn¡¯t this worried.
¡°Uncle Gu De, go rest a bit. We will go search once more. Now, it¡¯s during the day. It would be easier to search. I believe that it won¡¯t take us long before we will find little Wan.¡± Seeing the tiredness in Gu De¡¯s eyes, Ming Yue Cheng supported Gu De whileforting him.
Gu De rejected Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s good intentions. ¡°No! Little Wan hadn¡¯t been found. I can¡¯t sleep. I¡¯m worried that something will happen to her. I want to go with you!¡±
Gu De¡¯s eyes made it impossible for Ming Yue Cheng to refuse him. Gu Yun Wan had lost her mother from ever since she was young. Gu De was a father and a mother and raised Gu Yun Wan. He held her in his hands, fearing that he¡¯ll break her. He cherished her in his mouth, fearing that he¡¯ll melt her. How could Gu De not be worried now that Gu Yun Wan had been kidnapped?

Chapter 202 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (1)
¡°Chief, don¡¯t worry! We will definitely find great miss. Guys, don¡¯t you all think so?!¡± ¡°Yes! Chief, don¡¯t worry!¡±
Everyone didn¡¯t rest for the whole night. They hurriedly filled their stomachs. A new round of search began again.
White Bird mountain was veryrge. It would take half a day to search the entire mountain. Jin Mo followed the people of the Qiang tribe into the forest. Although, it was spring, but the weather wasn¡¯t that warm. However, the people of the Qiang tribe lived in the south and White Bird mountain was a dense forest. Not long after, everyone¡¯s back was full of sweat.
¡°Great miss!¡± ¡°Little Wan!¡±
The sounds echoed in the mountain. After Gu Yun Wan who was in the deep hole persisted for one night, her mouth and tongue were dry. She was thirsty and hungry. At this time, she didn¡¯t have the strength she had before. Even if she heard those voices, she couldn¡¯t respond.
Another day had passed. The people who had returned still didn¡¯t find Gu Yun Wan. This time, Gu De got anxious. ¡°How could this be? Little Wan disappeared. Could she had been taken away by Longze Jing Tian? What does he want to do?¡±
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi felt very guilty about Gu Yun Wan¡¯s abduction. The ones Longze Jing Tian probably hated were them. Naturally, he didn¡¯t want Feng Xiao¡¯s gu to be cured. Now, because of the matter of curing the gu, Gu Yun Wan got involved in this. These two people felt very guilty.
Deep in the forest, the small group of Jin Mo were still looking for Gu Yun Wan. A whole day had passed. It was already evening. Jin Mo drank some water at the spring and wiped his mouth. They searched for such a long time and still hadn¡¯t found Gu Yun Wan. Could there be some ces that they had missed? Just when Jin Mo was thinking about this, a green worm climbed on his hand.
¡°Goo, goo, goo, goo...¡± the small worm weakly flicked its wings and made ¡°googoo¡± sounds.
Jin Mo had seen this worm before. Before, at Bei Zhou, in order to study the gu Jin Mo asked Gu Yun Wan to release her gu. The appearance of that one was exactly the same as this one.
¡°Do you know where Gu Yun Wan is?¡± When he saw the small worm, Jin Mo was very surprised. He immediately called the other people.
¡°This seems to be great miss¡¯s gu!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s great miss¡¯s!¡±
The small worm lingered in the left hand of Jin Mo. It looked very pitiful.
¡°Goo, goo...¡± The small worm was not a human being. It couldn¡¯t talk. It could only make sounds.
¡°You want me to go save little Wan?¡±
The gu fanned its wings and flew.
¡°Follow her. Maybe we can find great miss!¡± Jin Mo followed behind this little worm. It fanned its wings with all its strength, but it was too weak. A whileter, it fell on the ground.
¡°Great miss¡¯s gu is still arva. It can¡¯t fly for too long. It must be that great miss encountered trouble and let the gue back to tell us!¡± Someone went forward and wanted to pick up the small worm, but he didn¡¯t expect that the small worm would sh its wings ad fell on Jin Mo¡¯s hand.
¡°Young master Jin Mo, it seems that great miss¡¯s gu trusts you! I have to trouble you!¡±
Jin Mo nodded and gently stroked the wings of the small gu. ¡°Since you can¡¯t fly, then tell us the direction. If we go in the right direction, then make sounds, alright?¡±
¡°Goo, goo...¡± The gu agreed and nodded.
Jin Mo sent someone to go notify the vige. He took the other nine people and followed the gu¡¯s instruction to find Gu Yun Wan.
¡°Googoo!¡± ¡°Googoo!¡±
The gu continued to make sounds. Jin Mo let people follow the sound to distinguish the direction. They travelled back and forth through the forest. It took a long time before they came to the deep hole.
¡°Googoo, googoo!¡± When they got here, the gu made fiercer sounds. It even jumped from Jin Mo¡¯s hand and fell on the ground. It directly climbed into the deep hole.
¡°Great miss is inside!¡± Jin Mo immediately understood the gu.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Someone lit a torch, and another used the surrounding vines to make an ordinary rope.
¡°I will go down. Wait here for me!¡± Jin Mo grabbed the vines and went down the hole.
¡°Weng....¡± A group of bats saw that someone came and flew away immediately. The blood and rotten smell filled Jin Mo¡¯s nose and made him startled. The bats love the smell of blood the most. These bats came to eat in the hole. Could this blood be Gu Yun Wan¡¯s? Nothing happened to her, right?!
Jin Mo held the torch with one hand and the other moved the branches and leaves.
¡°Little Wan?!¡± When he saw the woman lying on the ground, he shouted, ¡°Great miss is here. We found great miss!¡±
When the people at the entrance of the hole heard that Gu Yun Wan was found, they were very excited. Jin Mo checked Gu Yun Wan and found out that only her acupuncture point had been hit. He immediately released it and also took away the worn-out cloth from her mouth.
¡°Are you alright? I will check for you!¡±
¡°I, I can¡¯t move,¡± Gu Yun Wan said with difficulty. She had been in this position for a day and a night. Her blood wasn¡¯t flowing well. Her whole body waspletely numb.
Jin Mo immediately helped Gu Yun Wan improve her blood cirction. After massaging for a long time did Gu Yun Wan¡¯s limbs gain some of their sense of feel back.
¡°Don¡¯t move, let me piggy-back you back to above!¡±
Jin Mo reached out and put Gu Yun Wan on his back. Then, he climbed with the help of the vines to above.
¡°Great miss, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re alright!¡± ¡°Great miss!¡±
The others gathered around and helped Jin Mo put Gu Yun Wan down. Jin Mo once again checked Gu Yun Wan carefully. He wrapped the wounds on her body and knelt down to rub her legs that had been stiff for a long time.
¡°How is it? Why doesn¡¯t my legs have any feelings yet?¡±
¡°It¡¯s just that the blood isn¡¯t circting well. So, it¡¯s a little bit troublesome. Let¡¯s go back and talk then!¡±
Jin Mo was a doctor. Even if Gu Yun Wan felt that something was not right, she still chose to believe Jin Mo.
Immediately someone made a simple chair from the branches and vines. Jin Mo put Gu Yun Wan in the chair. Then, the group hurried back to the vige. When they were halfway, some people came to pick them up. After Gu De got to know that Gu Yun Wan was found, he personally rushed over. When he saw Gu Yun Wan in the chair, Gu De was very excited.
¡°It¡¯s good that you came back! It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine!¡±
When they were back in the vige, Jin Mo found an opportunity to talk to Feng Qi Qi. ¡°Junior sister, something is not good!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Feng Qi Qi was a bit puzzled. Why was is not good that Gu Yun Wan is found? ¡°Senior brother, what happened?¡±
¡°Gu Yun Wan¡¯s acupuncture point had been hit and she had been thrown into the hunting hole. She hasn¡¯t moved for a whole day and night. The blood in her limbs isn¡¯t circting well, maybe...¡±
Jin Mo hasn¡¯t finished speaking, Feng Qi Qi already understood what he meant. Long-term immobility caused the blood to not circte well. The nerves were oppressed and would cause necrosis. Could it be that such a thing happened to Gu Yun Wan?
¡°Senior brother, let¡¯s go take a look!¡±
Feng Qi Qi handed Feng Xiao to Su Mei and hurried with Jin Mo to Gu Yun Wan¡¯s room. At this time, Gu Yun Wan had bathed and put on clean clothes with the help of her maid. However, her right hand and feet still have no feelings.
When she saw Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan had an ominous premonition. She knew Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ability. Now, Feng Qi Qi came over and her expression was so serious, could it be that something had happened? When she looked at Jin Mo, although his expression hadn¡¯t changed, but his eyes were not right. Gu Yun Wan wasn¡¯t a fool. They were both famous doctors. The two came at this time and with these expressions, it didn¡¯t seem like they came to chat with her.
¡°Qi Qi, are my legs ruined?¡± Gu Yun Wan asked when Feng Qi Qi wanted to examine Gu Yun Wan, making Feng Qi Qi startled. Feng Qi Qiughed, ¡°No, I just came to see you! Besides, even if there¡¯s something, I will make you safe and sound!¡±
After Feng Qi Qi said this, Gu Yun Wan knew that there really was a problem with her legs. After Gu De heard the talk between Gu Yun Wan and Feng Qi Qi, he also moved closer to them. ¡°Princess, if you have something to tell, tell us directly. What¡¯s the matter to my Wan er1?¡±
¡°Chief, keep calm! I was just not sure, so I brought my junior sister to confirm the diagnosis! Don¡¯t worry, with me and my junior sister here, nothing will happen to great miss!¡±
After Jin Mo said this, Gu De¡¯s face sank. ¡°So, something is wrong with Wan er?¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t say anything. After checking Gu Yun Wan once again, she stood up.
¡°Qi Qi, is it that I can¡¯t walk anymore? And my right hand can¡¯t move anymore?¡± Gu Yun Wan couldn¡¯t ept this reality. This way, wouldn¡¯t she be a rubbish?
¡°Little Wan, don¡¯t think so bad of things. Your legs and right hand only temporarily lose their feeling. Trust me, you will be the same as before.¡±
¡°Really? You didn¡¯t lie to me?¡± Gu Yun Wan didn¡¯t believe it. From the moment she had been rescued by Jin Mo till now, her legs and right hand didn¡¯t have any feeling. Isn¡¯t this disability?
¡°If you lie to me, I will hate you!¡±
¡°Believe us, nothing will happen to you.¡± Seeing Gu Yun Wan like this, Jin Mo squatted in front of her. ¡°You need to cooperate well with the treatment, so that you can restore your health. You have been in the same position in the hole for too long. So, the blood isn¡¯t circting well in your body and caused the current condition of your body. With acupuncture plus rehabilitation, your will restore your health soon!¡±
The words of Jin Mo calmed down Gu Yun Wan¡¯s giddiness. She stared into Jin Mo¡¯s eyes. ¡°Jin Mo, you won¡¯t lie to me?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t lie to you. I and junior sister will definitely cure you!¡±
Afterforting Gu Yun Wan for a long while did Feng Qi Qi left. Gu De followed behind Feng Qi Qi. The two walked for some distance before they stopped. Feng Qi Qi exined the reason why this condition had happened to Gu De.
¡°Qi Qi, what do you mean with the vascr necrosis of the calf? How much chance does Wan er have at recovering? How long will it take to recover?¡±
¡°At least half a year.¡±
¡°Half-year?!¡± Gu De¡¯s heart immediately hung on the air. ¡°You said half-year?¡±
¡°Chief doesn¡¯t believe in my and senior brother Jin Mo¡¯s medical skills??¡±
¡°I...I believe you.¡± Gu De didn¡¯t expect that things would be so bad. Half-year, how could Gu Yun Wan ept it?
Feng Qi Qi saw Gu De¡¯s worries from his expression. She quicklyforted him, ¡°Chief, I only estimated the period roughly. As long as little Wan coordinate well with senior brother¡¯s acupuncture and my message, perhaps it wouldn¡¯t take so long. Little Wan is a strong girl. Nothing will happen to her, believe me!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words were very sincere letting Gu De slowly put his fears down. Now, the one he hated the most was Longze Jing Tian. Not only did he kidnap Gu Yun Wan, but also harmed her like this. ¡°All the me is on Longze Jing Tian! I must find him and kill him!¡±
1. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 203 Love is in sky of affection (2)

Gu De was this furious, came as no surprise to Feng Qi Qi. How could Gu De ept that such a thing happened to his daughter? ¡°Chief, we didn¡¯t find Longze Jing Tian during the search of the mountain. This indicates two possibilities. One is that Longze Jing Tian is gone, and the other is that someone has hidden him somewhere.¡±
¡°You mean, there¡¯s a traitor in our tribe?¡± How couldn¡¯t Gu De understand the meaning of Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words? But to say that the Qiang tribe had traitors and had hidden Longze Jing Tian, Gu De couldn¡¯t believe this. However, the truth was in front of him and made it impossible for him to not believe it.
¡°Humph! Who is it that has such big gut to actually do such a thing?!¡± Even though Gu De usually looked gentle, but once it involved his only daughter, his bad temper immediately came up. ¡°Investigate! Must investigate!¡±
¡°Chief, I have a suggestion. Don¡¯t know what you think about it.¡± Feng Qi Qi whispered her thoughts to Gu De. As soon as Gu De heard it, he nodded repeatedly. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right! Since their targets are you and the regent. It¡¯s indeed possible to do so. However, I¡¯m worried that Longze Jing Tian is a madman and will hurt you two and the child.¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s scheme was called ¡®draw the snake out of its hole¡¯. The purpose that Longze Jing Tian came here was nothing more than to retaliate her and Feng Cang. In this case, they must be looking for an appropriate opportunity. Since Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang were Longze Jing Tian¡¯s targets, so let them (FC&FQQ) be the bait to bring out these ¡®snakes¡¯ which were hidden in the dark!
Draw the snake out its hole: lure the target to appear.
The people of Qiang tribe were relieved that Gu Yun Wan was sessfully found. Jin Mo and Feng Qi Qi discussed the method of treatment for Gu Yun Wan, by relying mainly on the acupuncture of Jin Mo with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s massage as support. The mood of Gu Yun Wan was also calmed down. It didn¡¯t take long for her to restore to the former strong girl and began to cooperate with the treatment of Jin Mo.
Looking for Gu Yun Wan had dyed some time. So when Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang went to the top of the White Bird mountain the next day. Ah Zha and Ming Yue Zheng had long been waiting there.
When Ah Zha did the demonstration previously, Feng Qi Qi kind of got a grasp on elder Teng Yuan¡¯s spell and intended to experiment it today.
¡°Let me do it!¡± After hearing Feng Qi Qi¡¯s thoughts, Ah Zha took the initiative to cooperate with Feng Qi Qi. ¡°I have been through it many times, let me try it first, this way the sess rate will also be much higher!¡±
Feng Cang shook his head and refused Ah Zha¡¯s suggestion directly. Feng Qi Qi simply wanted to try it. It still needed to be examined if she really got the hang of the spell of Elder Teng Yuan. If not, wouldn¡¯t both feet of Ah Zha¡¯s be disabled when he stepped on the hot charcoal? This kind of thing shouldn¡¯t be done by other people.
¡°Let me do it!¡± Feng Cang stood up. His words made Ah Zha frown, ¡°The regent doesn¡¯t believe me?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that! I¡¯m just afraid that something might happen to you. After all, Qing Qing isn¡¯t so sure about it too.¡±
¡°Then, you two don¡¯t take me as a friend?¡± Ah Zha was even more unhappy, ¡°My skin and flesh are thick. Even if there is something, it will recover soon. The third test is to enter the dragon pool. If you hurt your foot, how do you get into the water? Don¡¯t you want to cure little shizi¡¯s1 gu?¡±
¡°I want to! I want to cure Xiao er¡¯s2 gu more than anyone else. But I also don¡¯t want anyone to get hurt because of our matter.¡±
Feng Qi Qi had already told Feng Cang about the matter regarding Gu Yun Wan. As soon as he thought of that once healthy and lively girl might be disabled, Feng Cang gnashed his teeth and would hate Longze Jing Tian and the others so much. No matter what kind of grudges they had against each other, please don¡¯t harm the innocent! If someone was injured because of curing Feng Xiao¡¯s gu, how could Feng Cang not feel guilty?
Gnashing teeth: disying extreme anger or frustration.
Ah Zha still wanted to persist but was stopped by Ming Yue Cheng, ¡°Cousin Ah Zha, since Feng Cang has made a decision, we should support it. I trust Qi Qi¡¯s abilities. They pairing up should be no problem!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng was also not sure. Although Feng Qi Qi could read lips and understood elder Teng Yuan¡¯s spell, but after all, it was a charcoal that was burning hot. People are made of flesh and blood. What if there was any mistake, those feet might really get disabled.
If Feng Cang didn¡¯t interrupt, he (MYC) was willing to try it. But Ming Yue Cheng knew that the matter with Gu Yun Wan had caused invisible pressure on this couple. If Ah Zha hurt his feet, they would definitely feel guilty about it.
Feng Qi Qi also supported Feng Cang¡¯s decision. They only came here to cure Feng Xiao¡¯s gu. She didn¡¯t expect that Longze Jing Tian and the others would actually follow them and even injured Gu Yun Wan. Although Gu Yun Wan¡¯s legs could be treated. It just needed some time, but it wasn¡¯t a matter that made people rxed after all. She also didn¡¯t want anyone to be hurt anymore because of their matters.
¡°Cang, look at the copper coin in my hand.¡± Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang looked at each other. Different from elder Teng Yuan, Feng Qi Qi had a copper coin tied up with a string in her hand. Just saw Feng Qi Qi¡¯s mouth slightly open while Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were fixed on the copper coin. In just a moment, the eyes became cold and empty.
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s ¡®spell¡¯ was only a kind of hypnosis. The power of mental cues was endless. It was only used during the hypnosis to let Feng Cang enter a frozen state. He wouldn¡¯t feel any heat then.
¡°Go!¡± Feng Qi Qi said softly. Feng Cang turned and stepped onto the fire.
Out of safety, Feng Cang wore a pair of ice silk socks on both feet. The ice silk had insted effect. Even if he stepped on the fire, he would only feel warm and wouldn¡¯t burn his feet. With thisyer of protection and also Feng Qi Qi¡¯s spell, it was double protection. In just a moment, Feng Cang passed through the burning coals.
¡°How is it?¡± After removing the hypnosis, Feng Qi Qi quickly checked the feet of Feng Cang. There were no blisters and no injuries!
¡°I didn¡¯t feel anything.¡± Feng Cang shook his head. ¡°Is it because of the ice silk? Shall I try with my bare feet?¡±
¡°Good!¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded and hypnotized Feng Cang again.
This time, Feng Qi Qi had her heart into her throat. Without the protection of the ice silk, could Feng Cang really pass the sea of mes? Although she used to do a lot of things with hypnosis in her previous life, but this time, she was still very worried. After all, Feng Cang¡¯s feet were on hot burning charcoal, what if....
Not waiting for Feng Qi Qi to finish worrying, Feng Cang had sessfully passed through the sea of mes once again. There was no what if, everything went well....
¡°Princess, you¡¯re so amazing!¡± Ah Zha looked stunned at the side. Only the elders could do the spell. How could Feng Qi Qi learn it after she only had seen it once? ¡°Princess, are you sure you¡¯re not from our Qiang tribe?¡±
The words of Ah Zha made Feng Qi Qi smiled slightly, ¡°Warrior Ah Zha, I¡¯m certain I¡¯m a Bei Zhou¡¯s citizen and have no rtionship with the Qiang tribe.¡±
After Feng Qi Qi said this, Ah Zha could only exim in admiration repeatedly, ¡°Princess is really a genius, amazing!¡±
The news that Feng Cang could pass through the sea of mes was soon spread throughout the vige. After hearing that it was the credit of Feng Qi Qi and that she had unraveled the spell for ¡®through the sea of mes¡¯, elder Teng Yuan was surprised. How could this be? He just demonstrated it once. How did Feng Qi Qi learn it already?
¡°As expected she isn¡¯t easy to deal with!¡± While elder Teng Yuan was surprised, the peculiar voice of Taji Guli came over, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Feng Qi Qi to be really able to do it! Elder Teng Yuan, it mustn¡¯t be that you changed your mind?!¡±
Listen to Taji Guli mentioned Feng Qi Qi, elder Teng Yuan couldn¡¯t help but thought of what Feng Qi Qi had said before. The Immortal cream was an addictive poison, and now he was already poisoned.
¡°Elder Teng Yuan, elder Teng Yuan?¡± Seeing that elder Teng Yuan didn¡¯t speak, Taji Guli came forward and touched him with the hook of her left hand, ¡°Are you alright?¡±
¡°Did you guys kidnap great miss?¡±
¡°How can it be us?! We won¡¯t do such a thing!¡± Taji Guli quickly denied. Duyi also stepped forward and lit the tobo for Elder Teng Yuan, ¡°Even if we are dissatisfied with Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, we won¡¯t make an enemy out of the Qiang tribe. Elder must believe in our sincerity!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan originally had doubts, but the smell of the Immortal cream had already been spreading. After he impatiently smoked from the mouthpiece of the pipe tobo twice, he tossed the matter of a moment ago beyond the topmost clouds.
Beyond the topmost clouds: unimaginably far away.
After seeing elder Teng Yuan like this, Taji Guli and Duyi looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that he had been indulged in the Immortal cream and was unable to extricate himself from it. In the future, he (TY) could only be manipted by them (TGL & DY).
Finally, it was the day to go through the sea of mes. After the Qiang tribe¡¯s young and old had seen Feng Cang mount the mountain of daggers, they had greatly improved their impression of the regent from Bei Zhou. He (FC) was the first foreigner who could mount the mountain of daggers. Since ancient times, the Qiang tribe had worshipped warriors. Feng Cang had already been ssifies as a half warrior.
On this day, the weather was clear. In the early morning, someone set the wood on fire. In just a moment, thick smoke surged on the field. After the smoke was dispersed, only pieces of burning red charcoal were left.
One already heard that Feng Cang could ¡®go through the sea of mes¡¯. Everyone who came today wanted to see the miracle. As expected, after the hypnosis of Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang walked barefoot through the ten-meter-long ¡®sea of mes¡¯. When Feng Cang reached the ground, sound of cheers was heard.
The elders who came to watch were all astonished at this, especially elder Teng Yuan. It was one thing to hear, but seeing with his own eyes was another thing. The shock that Feng Qi Qi brought to elder Teng Yuan was so great that he couldn¡¯t help but stare at Feng Qi Qi.
¡°How did you do it? Our spell are never divulged to outsiders!¡± Elder Teng Yuan stared at Feng Qi Qi. He knew that Feng Cang could pass, was thanks to those repeatedly murmured words of Feng Qi Qi at the beginning. Could it be that she secretly learned their spell? But why was there a string with a copper coin in her hand, which was somewhat different from the spell of the Qiang tribe? This was the most confusing part to elder Teng Yuan.
¡°Elder wants to now? This is our Feng family¡¯s secret technique!¡± Feng Qi Qi could see the dejection and deterioration from the face of elder Teng Yuan. It seemed that this Elder had been deeply addicted to drugs. ¡°It seems that elder didn¡¯t follow my advice and still took the Immortal cream. Is elder really not afraid of death?¡±
The seriousness in the eyes of Feng Qi Qi made elder Teng Yuan¡¯s heart tighten all of a sudden. Although Longze Jing Tian and the others didn¡¯t admit that they kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, but when they rushed to his home for help that night, he should already see iting that they did something unspeakable. The culprits who kidnapped Gu Yan Wan were absolutely Longze Jing Tian, those three people.
If he was caught in conspiracy with outsiders, he would surely be ridiculed by the Qiang tribe¡¯s people. Maybe even be expelled from the Qiang tribe. What should he do? He lived here for his whole life. If by any chance, he was expelled from the White Bird mountain because of those three people. Then wouldn¡¯t he be a falling leaf that is unable to return to the roots when he died?
A falling leaf returns to the roots: returns home, go back to one¡¯s roots
The face of elder Teng Yuan was extremely ugly, and his voice became lower, ¡°Do you have any way to get rid of my addiction?¡±
Elder Teng Yuan said it like this made Feng Qi Qi certain that this opium was really given to him by someone. But what was the purpose?
¡°I can help you, but the process of quitting the drug is long. It has many obstacles that ordinary people can¡¯t bear. Although the drug addiction of elder isn¡¯t serious. However, if you continue in this way, it¡¯s difficult to guarantee that you won¡¯t die from opium.¡±
¡°Opium? So the Immortal cream is actually called this name.¡± Elder Teng Yuan was a bit hesitant. He could hear the truth in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s words. Recently, in the tribe, he also heard a lot of things about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. The people of the tribe all praised them. Feng Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t deceive people, and there was no need to deceive him.
However, when he thought about the happiness that the Immortal cream brought to him, elder Teng Yuan wanted to yawn.
¡°Yawning repeatedly, tears welling up. Elder, do you want to take the immortal cream?¡± Feng Qi Qi saw that elder Teng Yuan wasn¡¯t right. She pulled out a silver needle from her hand and put it into Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s temple.
¡°You, what are you doing?¡± It was painful. So, elder Teng Yuan wanted to pull out the silver needle, but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Save you! Help you to suppress drug addiction! Elder doesn¡¯t want to be controlled by opium and without the freedom to act independently, and finally betray yourself right?!¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t know that the person who gave Elder Teng Yuan the Immortal cream was Duyi. She just thought that using opium to manipte the elders of Qiang tribe must be sinister. However, her words happened to touch the sensitive spot of elder Teng Yuan. He snorted, and pulled out the silver needle and threw it to Feng Qi Qi, ¡°Don¡¯t go specte on others, I hate such self-righteous people the most!¡±
Elder Teng Yuan swung his sleeve and walked furiously away. As if someone was chasing behind him, and soon he disappeared.
Feng Cang sessfully passed the two tests ¡®mountain of daggers and sea of mes¡¯, not only made the people of Qiang tribe amazed. They particrly worshipped this regent from Bei Zhou and even gave him a title of warrior. If Feng Cang could pass the third test, then he was a hero thoroughly.
¡°Four dayster, enter dragon pool! If the regent can pass thisst test, we will certainly get rid of the gu poison of little shizi!¡± When Gu De announced the news, the people on the field apuded and cheered for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. The interaction of these days made them already acknowledge these people from Bei Zhou. They were very fond of Feng Cang and the others, and sincerely hoped that Feng Cang could sessfully pass the third test.
After returning to the residence, Jin Mo took out Nn Xin¡¯s confidential letter and handed it to Feng Cang. ¡°There¡¯s a situation at home.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Wanyan Kang who was at the side, heard it and immediately came over.
After Feng Cang read the letter, he handed it to Wanyan Kang. When he (WK) finished reading the contents of the letter, Wanyan Kang shout out, ¡°Wanyan Hong is really shameless. He actually resurfaced again. What the hell?! Even more, he wants to fight with his son over the throne. He really have no shame!¡±
It turned out that Wanyan Hongunched a coup d¡¯¨¦tat with the support of the prime minister. However, there were Dongfang Lan and Feng Xie. In addition, Nn Xin and Su Yue also stayed in Yan capital. His (WH) restoration hadn¡¯t begun yet, but was already discovered. Now, DongFang Lan had sent a letter and asked Feng Cang how to deal with this matter.
¡°Cousin, Wanyan Hong really never change. It¡¯s better to ¡®kacha¡¯ him!¡±
What Wanyan Kang¡¯s ¡®kacha¡¯ meant, was to kill him (WH) to avoidter troubles. Anyhow, he (WH) was the biological father of Wanyan Jie. If Wanyan Jie wasn¡¯t the emperor, there was no need to keep the life of Wanyan Hong. However, there was a blood rtionship between them. He (FC) was afraid that the title of killing biological father wouldn¡¯t be good for Wanyan Jie.
¡°I think, it¡¯s better to let him die of an illness.¡± Feng Cang didn¡¯t speak out. Feng Qi Qi knew his (FC) inner thoughts. He (FC) was considering the reputation of Wanyan Jie in the future. So she said her opinion, ¡°People get sick, drag for a year and a half, he will eventually die. This way, it won¡¯t make things difficult for Jie er in the future....¡±
¡°Qing Qing¡¯s thoughts is the same as what I thought. If ordering to kill Wanyan Hong. Jie er is still young, so it will leave a mark in his heart. Just follow what Qing Qing said!¡±
Previously, they were already wary of possible changes in Bei Zhou. Feng Cang had made people to watch the movements of the court¡¯s officials carefully. He didn¡¯t expect to actually have caught them. After this incident, Bei Zhou was now really settled down and entered a stage of stable development.
The news of Feng Cang had passed the second test and only the third test remained, was passed on Longze Jing Tian and the others by elder Teng Yuan. As soon as Longze Jing Tian heard that Feng Cang would enter the dragon pool, he slightly furrowed. This was an opportunity and Longze Jing Tian was waiting for this opportunity.

2. Er: term of endearment

Chapter 204 (Part 1) Love is in sky of affection (3)
In the period before Feng Cang came, Longze Jing Tian, Duyi and Taji Guli went to the dragon pool first.
From the beginning, he (LJT) already felt that Feng Cang was no ordinary man. The first two tests must be held in the vige of the Qiang tribe, so it wasn¡¯t a good ce to take action. Therefore, they set the opportunity at the third test. Now, Feng Cang was really, like he (LJT) had imagined, sessfully passed the tests of mounting the mountain of daggers and going through the sea of mes. The remaining test was to enter the dragon pool, which was their chance.
¡°What are you all going to do?¡± Elder Teng Yuan looked at Longze Jing Tian. He knew that this young man was the leader of the three. Although he (LJT) didn¡¯t have much to say, the other two seemed to listen to him (LJT).
¡°Elder, we need your help!¡±
¡°Help? Alright, but you all have to eat this.¡± Elder Teng Yuan opened his hands, and there were three pills lying inside.
¡°What is this?¡± Taji Guli was shocked after seeing elder Teng Yuan like this, ¡°Old man, what do you mean?¡±
¡°Feng Qi Qi told me that this Immortal cream isn¡¯t a good thing, but a poison that controls people¡¯s hearts and makes people addicted. This is premeditated right?! You just want to get addicted to he drug to control me, right?¡±
Elder Teng Yuan looked at the three people in front of him, especially Duyi. When he (TY) said these words, Duyi¡¯s eyes flickered once, and he (TY) had a conclusion in his heart. It seemed that what Feng Qi Qi said was tight. The purpose of these people was indeed so despicable.
¡°Elder, what are you saying?! Don¡¯t listen to Feng Qi Qi. Don¡¯t you know better than us what the Immortal cream is!¡± Duyi smiled cunningly, but elder Teng Yuan wasn¡¯t someone who was easily botched.
¡°It¡¯s possible to let me believe you all. Eat the gu. I will believe you all then!¡±
It turned out that the pills in the hand of elder Teng Yuan weren¡¯t medicine pills, but the eggs of gu. Listening to what he (TY) said, made Taji Guli immediately nauseous. It was really disgusting. He (TY) actually wanted them to eat gu, ¡°Elder Teng Yuan, what¡®s the meaning of this? Feng Qi Qi is clearly provoking the rtionships between us. Why do you believe her so much rather than us?¡±
The usual friendly look of Elder Teng Yuan had disappeared and looked a bit gloomy now. ¡°If you don¡¯t eat it means that you harbors ulterior motives!¡±
¡°How do we know that elder is still on our side? What if elder is bribed by Feng Qi Qi and just wants to deceive us to eat the gu, and then take our lives? Elder, don¡¯t you agree?¡± Duyi didn¡¯t react as extreme as Taji Guli. Though he was smiling, his words were full of thorns.
¡°If I partner with Feng Qi Qi, do you think you all are still safe and sound here? After you all eat it, I¡¯ll definitely help you all get rid of the gu. Could it be that you don¡¯t trust me?¡±
The answer was definitely a yes. On all three people¡¯s faces were written ¡®We don¡¯t believe you¡¯. This was an indirect refusal and confirmed elder Teng Yuan¡¯s inners thoughts even more. It wasn¡¯t gu in his palm, but just ordinary medicine pills. It was only used to test them. But didn¡¯t expect them to not be able to withstand the test. It seemed that Feng Qi Qi was right.
Elder Teng Yuan stared at these three people. His expression was a little weird, but in the end, he still put away the pills. ¡°Since you all don¡¯t want to eat, I won¡¯t force you anymore. However, we don¡¯t trust each other, so there¡¯s no need for us to continue our mutual benefit. You all can leave!¡±
The faces of the three weren¡¯t good when elder Teng Yuan suddenly asked them to leave. You must know that although Gu Yun Wan was found, the people of Qiang tribe didn¡¯t give up on the search of the culprit. Everyone was very angry at the injury of Gu Yun Wan. Every day, a small group of Qiang tribe¡¯s people patrolled the White Bird mountain. Elder Teng Yuan drove them out at this moment, he undoubtedly wanted to cut off their rtionship, and drove them to a dead end.
¡°Is elder not afraid that we might give you away after we are caught?¡± Longze Jing Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, ¡°I heard that the Qiang tribe¡¯s punishment for traitors is very grave. If chief Gu De knows that you let us kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, you say, can Gu De still tolerate you?¡±
The true colors of Longze Jing Tian made elder Teng Yuan feel that this person was a shameless person. It was obvious that the three of them kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, but it had now turned into his, elder Teng Yuan¡¯s idea. It seemed that these people were really ungrateful. He really couldn¡¯t tell people apart.
However, they had forgotten that he (TY) was the most arrogant elder Teng Yuan of the Qiang tribe, how could he (TY) be threatened by them. ¡°Thinking of our friendly rtions, I¡¯ll let you all go. If you still don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll put gu on you all. Do you all like the feeling of being bitten by gu worms?¡±
As soon as the voice dropped, a fleshy worm appeared in the hand of Elder Teng Yuan. Taji Guli was frightened and then looked at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Longze Jing Tian knew that elder Teng Yuan wasn¡¯t joking with them. After a deep look at elder Teng Yuan, Longze Jing Tian took Duyi and Taji Guli, and left elder Teng Yuan¡¯s house.
After the three left, Elder Teng Yuan took out the Immortal cream and sighed. He didn¡¯t even know that such a good thing was poison, and would make people addicted. Now, his body¡¯s drug withdrawal symptoms urred again. He couldn¡¯t help but wanted to put some in the tobo pipe and smoked it. But when his hand opened the box lid, that pretty face of Feng Qi Qi , and the words that she said suddenly appeared in front of him
On one side was the temptation of the Immortal cream, and on the other side was the words of Feng Qi Qi. It was difficult for Elder Teng Yuan to choose.
Just a little bit.... Elder Teng Yuan was already shaking a bit. When he was about to scoop out the Immortal cream, a gust of wind swept over and the Immortal cream fell off of his hand. When he looked up again, Gu De and Feng Qi Qi were standing in front of him.
¡°Ch...Chief....¡± The hand of elder Teng Yuan couldn¡¯t stop trembling, but at this moment the Immortal cream was more important to him. He crawled on the ground and reached out to pick up the Immortal cream that was smacked to the ground by Gu De. But just as he was about to reach it, it was kicked farther away by Gu De.
¡°Princess, I have trouble you!¡±
Gu De was heartbroken after seeing the appearance of elder Teng Yuan. Previously, Gu De thought that the opium that Feng Qi Qi had mentioned was just an ordinary addictive drug. Now, seeing Elder Teng Yuan looking like this because of the Immortal cream, Gu De detested the Immortal cream bitterly.
¡°Someone. Seal the mountain and go find the whereabouts of the three!¡±
It turned out that Feng Qi Qi had long noticed that elder Teng Yuan was suspicious. But because he was the elder of the Qiang tribe, so Feng Qi Qi informed Gu De about it. Therefore, Gu De had sent some people to watch over elder Teng Yuan, but didn¡¯t expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Feng Qi Qi also didn¡¯t expect that the person who gave Elder Teng Yuan the Immortal cream would be Longze Jing Tian, not to mention Taji Guli and Duyi were also here. It seemed that these three people were really unbeatable cockroaches with strong vitality!
At this moment, Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s face was already covered in tears and snots. The symptoms of drug withdrawal started again and he couldn¡¯t control it. But the sanity left in his mind didn¡¯t let him snatch the Immortal cream from Gu De¡¯s hand.
¡°Please help me put elder Teng Yuan on the bed and bound his hands and feet.¡±
Immediately, four people came up and put elder Teng Yuan on the bed, and tied the hands and feet of Elder Teng Yuan to the bed frame with a rope. On the way here, Gu De already said to the people to obey Feng Qi Qi¡®s orders, even if her request was too much. Gu De didn¡¯t speak, so the four men did ording to the instructions of Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Give me, give me a little... I beg you....¡±
At this moment, elder Teng Yuan had no longer the appearance that a tribe¡¯s elder should have. He looked so poor and so fragile. No one had ever seen Elder Teng Yuan like this before.
¡°Please, give me a little, a little bit is alright....¡±
Even though Gu De once suspected the ability of opium, but seeing such an appearance of Elder Teng Yuan now. This kind of suspicion also flew beyond the topmost clouds and became the absolute belief in Feng Qi Qi. It was indeed a terrible poison. It could actually make people like this... with no self-respect.
Beyond the topmost clouds: unimaginably far away.
¡°I beg you....¡±
The withdrawal symptoms came up like ten thousand ant bites. Elder Teng Yuan felt very ufortable. He had never tried this kind of taste where living was worse than death. Now, he could only look thirstily at the Immortal cream in Gu De¡¯s hands. His eyes were full of longing, ¡°Give me, give me the Immortal cream!¡±
Not waiting for elder Teng Yuan to struggle, the silver needle of Feng Qi Qi had been inserted into his body. It made elder Teng Yuan, who was about to fall apart, under control.
¡°His drug addiction is only moderate, it can still be cured.¡±
The words of Feng Qi Qi made Gu De calm down. It was good that there was a way to solve the problem. He was worried that this Immortal cream was incurable. Elder Teng Yuan would then really be ruined.
The matter that elder Teng Yuan became addicted to drugs was soon made public by Gu De. In the beginning, the other elders didn¡¯t believe it. But when they came to the home of elder Teng Yuan and saw the appearance of that old man on the bed, the elders were shocked.
¡°There¡¯s actually such a terrible poison in the world? If such a poison is used as a bad thing, the world will be disrupted!¡± The great elder had an imcable hate towards the Immortal cream after seeing the immortal cream. Other elders also nodded repeatedly and ssified the Immortal cream as a poison.
¡°Who is the person who poisoned Elder Teng Yuan? Who have such deep hatred toward him?¡±
After fifth elder said this, Feng Qi Qi told the whole story to them. As soon as they heard that the three men turned out to be fugitives of the maind, the four elders immediately became furious.
¡°They have fled to our White Bird mountain. Do they think our Qiang tribe¡¯s people are easy to bully?! Chief, Longze Jing Tian and the others provoked our Qiang tribe over and over again. First, kidnapping great miss and now they made Teng Yuan be addicted to drugs. What sort of ce do these people think our Qiang tribe is? I urge the chief to let us go into the mountains and find these three bastards, and kill them to avenge great miss and Teng Yuan!¡±
The words of great elder was approved by the other elders. Such a hateful people should be seized and be killed!
¡°Good!¡± Gu De also didn¡¯t have a good impression of the three people. They actually caused harm to Gu Yun Wan. Gu De was so desperate and wished he could personally catch them and end their lives.
The people of Qiang tribe were furious when they knew elder Teng Yuan had been harmed, especially when they knew that the people who harmed elder Teng Yuan and the people who captured Gu Yun Wan were the same people. Public outrage was aroused, so everyone voluntarily went up the mountain to find those three ¡®evil persons¡¯.

¡°How was it?¡± Gu De and the four elders were waiting at the side. After seeing Feng Qi Qi perform the acupuncture, everyone was surprised.
They had never seen such exquisite medical skills. Those silver needles were flying in the hands of Feng Qi Qi andnded exactly on the acupuncture points of elder Teng Yuan. urate to perfection, it made these people broaden their horizons.
urate to perfection: precise to the finest detail.
¡°This old man thought that princess Zhen Guo was a weak woman, but didn¡¯t expect it....¡±
The words of fifth elder spoke out the thoughts of everyone. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s method was fast and urate, and there was a right amount of strength. How was this a weak woman? It was clearly a martial arts master and also a medical expert. Immediately, the recognition of Feng Qi Qi rose to a very high level in the hearts of these elders.
After waiting for an hour, Feng Qi Qi finally retrieved the silver needles from the body of elder Teng Yuan. Elder Teng Yuan¡¯s madness of just a moment ago had also disappeared, and he slowly felt asleep.
¡°Thanks a lot, Princess!¡± Gu De stepped forward and bowed to Feng Qi Qi. Although Elder Teng Yuan did wrong, he (TY) once taught Gu De the method of gu. Now, seeing that he (TY) had been used by people and became like this, it made Gu De very worried about elder Teng Yuan.
After seeing the medical treatment of Feng Qi Qi, Gu De¡¯s worries werepletely gone. Elder Teng Yuan was in good health. The Qiang tribe owed Feng Qi Qi a favor. ¡°Thank you!¡±
¡°Chief doesn¡¯t need to be polite. It¡¯s a very slight effort. It¡¯s what I should do.¡±
After seeing the ¡®extraordinary methods¡¯ of Feng Qi Qi and seeing her be so modest, the good impression of the four elders who was standing aside, of Feng Qi Qi rose a lot again. They lived in White Bird mountain for generations, and didn¡¯t likeplicated conflicts and the scheming against one another. The four elders really liked such a simple person like Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Not good!¡± While everyone was talking, Su Mei rushed in and looked anxious. ¡°Miss, it¡¯s not good! Little shizi1 is gone!¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
Su Mei¡¯s words made Feng Qi Qi shcked and immediately grabbed Su Mei¡¯s hand, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Miss, I just bathed little shizi and went out to throw out the water. After I returned to the house, little shizi had disappeared! Guye2 has already gone to find little shizi!¡±
That Su Mei said so, made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face sank. She (FQQ) had already guessed who captured Feng Xiao. It must be Longze Jing Tian and the others.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
One after another, Su Mei and Feng Qi Qi left the bamboo building. Seeing Feng Qi Qi in the fluttering red dress and just barely touched the ground, she had already reached a hundred meters away, Gu De and the others even more surprised.
¡°Chief, let us help too!¡±
¡°Good!¡± Gu De and the four elders followed closely behind.
Just by following, made Gu De and the four elders even more amazed by Feng Qi Qi. She was just a 17 to 18-year-old woman. Why was her qinggong3 so good?
The four elders were all experts from the Qiang tribe, but they were all left far behind Feng Qi Qi. This time, the shock that Feng Qi Qi brought to them was already hard to express in words. Such an expert but so subtle and restrained, was rare in the younger generations.
Feng Qi Qi followed Su Mei and following the message left by Feng Cang, they finally came to the millennium cold pool at the foot of White bird Mountain. The moment they arrived, Feng Cang and Longze Jing Tian were standing opposite each other. Taji Guli stood on the left side of Longze Jing Tian, while Duyi on the right side and Feng Xiao was being held by Longze Jing Tian.
¡°As expected, it¡¯s you!¡± Seeing Longze Jing Tian again, Feng Qi Qi felt that he had changed a lot.
Although the Longze Jing Tian from the past couldn¡¯t be a friend, but he was also not an enemy. However, the current Longze Jing Tian standing like that, regardless of imposing manners or attitudes, waspletely different from the past, especially when Feng Qi Qi saw Feng Xiao in the arms of Longze Jing Tian, she almost screamed.
Soon after, Gu De and the elders rushed over. Even Ming Yue Cheng and Wanyan Kang who had heard the news, also arrived here. Everyone surrounded Longze Jing Tian and the others, but no one dared to move. Because the hand of Longze Jing Tian was ced on the head of Feng Xiao.
¡°You havee....¡±
The voice of Longze Jing Tian was a little hoarse. He (LJT) didn¡¯t expect that elder Teng Yuan would betray them at the crucial moment, and even more that Feng Cang would follow so soon. It would be very hard to get out with so many masters around them.
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t answer Longze Jing Tian. At this moment, her eyes were eagerly watching Feng Xiao who was in the arms of Longze Jing Tian. That child didn¡¯t seem to know that he was in danger. He was just ying with the small golden bell with on his wrist with his own small chubby hands producing sharp and clear sound.
¡°Put down Feng Xiao and I¡¯ll give you a way to survive.¡± Feng Cang stood next to Feng Qi Qi and looked at Longze Jing Tian. If it weren¡¯t because Feng Xiao was in their hands, he would have already ground the bones of these three people in front of him to dust.
¡°A way to survive? By this moment, do you think I still care about life or death?
When Longze Jing Tian and Feng Cang were talking, Taji Guli¡¯s eyes were smitten with Feng Cang. He was still so charming, but his cold eyes deeply hurt the heart of Taji Guli. From the beginning to the present, he didn¡¯t look at Taji Guli at all. How could she not be upset?
¡°Feng Cang!¡±
Taji Guli called out the name of Feng Cang. Her voice trembled slightly, so the sound on thest word almost broke.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t look at Taji Guli. This woman had long been defeated by him. Now that she had colluded with Longze Jing Tian, Feng Cang couldn¡¯t wait to kill her. Why should he pay attention to her at this time?
The indifference of Feng Cang made Taji Guli¡¯s heart chilly. She didn¡¯t think that Feng Cang¡¯s attitude towards herself was like this. Previously, she had secretly observed the attitude of Feng Cang towards Feng Qi Qi. Such a gentle and affectionate man would only appear in the dream of Taji Guli. Now, with his cold face, he didn¡¯t bother to look at her. It made Taji Guli¡¯s heart very painful.
¡°Feng Cang, I¡¯m Taji Guli. Look at me, alright?¡±
It was said that love made people petty and low like the dust. Taji Guli felt that she was like a female ve creeping on the ground and looked pettily at the highly Feng Cang. She had already trampled on her own self-esteem like this; why was Feng Cang still so mean and unwilling to distribute some love to her?
¡°Shameless!¡±
When Su Mei saw Taji Guli like this, she readily uttered a curse. Su Mei¡¯s words immediately received a response from Wanyan Kang, ¡°Agree, she¡¯s really shameless! Who is this ugly person? If benwang4 was this ugly, I¡¯ll definitely hide at home and wouldn¡¯te out to see anybody! Don¡¯t know how her parents raised her!¡±
Su Mei smiled at the words of Wanyan Kang and added a sentence at the back, ¡°Husband, how can you talk like that of other people¡¯s parents! Which parents don¡¯t want their children to be well? If the seeds were good, I don¡¯t know how one became like this at theter age. I think, this is a problem of the person herself!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, wifey is right! Can¡¯t me the parents for the people bing lowly! Besides, her parents died early, when did they had the time to teach her how to be a good person?!¡±
This couple echoed one another and scolded Taji Gul making her have cuts and bruises all over (figuratively). This made Taji Guli very furious that she shouted and attacked Su Mei.
¡°Tsk, tsk, so ugly and still want to fight me! Considering that you only have one hand, I¡¯ll also use one hand to fight you! I don¡¯t want others to say that I bully people with disabilities. If this gets out it won¡¯t be good to my reputation!¡±
1. Shizi: heir of the first-rank prince, usually born by the main wife
2. Guye: son-inw, also used by the servants of the mistress
3. Qinggong: martial arts technique for making the body extremely light in weight, by altering the distribution and flow of qi
4. Benwang: this king, I used by the first-rank prince

Chapter 205 (Part 1) Love is in sky of affection (4)
Su Mei mouth didn¡¯t have mercy on people. The round moon dagger in her hand flew out and directly cut off the iron hook on the left hand of Taji Guli.
¡°Really...a rubbish!¡± After retrieving the round moon dagger, Su Mei looked coldly at Taji Guli. ¡°Such a rubbish still dared to covet our guye1, really delusional!¡±
¡°You! I want to kill you!¡± Taji Guli¡¯s angrily shouted once and rushed at Su Mei.
¡°Overconfident!¡±
Su Mei faced Taji Guli. Wanyan Kang crossed his arms and retreated to a side. ¡°Little Mei er2, teach this ugly thing who have no sense of shame a lesson! Let her know how amazing you are!¡±
That Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t help his wangfei3 and instead fanned the fire at a side made Ming Yue Cheng couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Xiaoyao wang4 is really a true temperament person!¡±
¡°To deal with such an ugly thing, my little Mei er only need ten strikes. If I intervene, little Mei er will certainly me me for being too meddlesome!¡±
That Wanyan Kang repeatedly said ¡®ugly thing¡¯ deeply irritated Taji Guli¡¯s sensitive heart. Which women don¡¯t love beauty? Even she hoped to be as beautiful as Feng Qi Qi. However, her face was ruined. Now, she had be like this and Wanyan Kang repeatedly used ¡®ugly thing¡¯ to call her, how could she be willing?
¡°Bastard! You both are bastards!¡± Taji Guli already lost her mind. The nine-section whip in her hand flew towards Wanyan Kang but was dodged by Wanyan Kang.
¡°Ugly thing, don¡¯t disgrace yourself, ah! Benwang will take into consideration that you are a crippled person and don¡¯t argue with you. However, don¡¯t want a foot just because I give an inch!¡±
The words ¡®cripple¡¯ and ¡®ugly thing¡¯ destructive power was beyond reach. At this time, Taji Guli¡¯s head had lost its mind because of anger. She didn¡¯t care how Wanyan Kang escaped, she confronted him.
¡°Guli, that¡¯s a psychological game!¡± Duyi, as a bystander, wanted to remind Taji Guli, let her wake up and not fall into Wanyan Kang¡¯s evil trap. But how could those words enter the furious Taji Guli¡¯s ears.
Seeing that Taji Guli attacked, Wanyan Kang smiled naughtily and dodged once again. He liked to destroy people mentally like this. Like that, it was very satisfactory.
Duyi wanted to help Taji Guli, but was stopped by Longze Jing Tian. ¡°Duyi, she had gone crazy.¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words were very obvious. Taji Guli had gone crazy. They couldn¡¯t go crazy with Taji Guli. The most important thing in front of him now was to deal with Feng Cang. They couldn¡¯t lose their sense because of Taj Guli.
Hearing Longze Jing Tian said that, Su Meiughed, ¡°She really is a pitiful person. She doesn¡¯t even know that she had been used as a chest piece and had been thrown away. Husband, such a woman is already very pitiful, don¡¯t strike her fragile heart anymore. Why don¡¯t you yield three strokes to her?!¡±
¡°Good! I¡¯ll listen to little Mei er. Taking into ount that you had been thrown away by your owner, I will yield three strikes to you!¡±
Both Wanyan Kang and Su Mei have sharp mouths that wouldn¡¯t spare people. Now, Taji Guli hadpletely gone crazy. The nine-section whip in her hand also lost its sense and had been attacking Wanyan Kang and Su Mei.
At that side, the fight was in full swing. At this side, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s gaze hadn¡¯t left Feng Xiao for a moment. This child didn¡¯t seem afraid at all. For a moment, he looked at Longze Jing Tian and for a moment, he looked at Duyi. He even smiled at them making Gu De and the four elders greatly surprised.
It was already such a situation, this baby could still be so calm. If it was an ordinary child, that child would¡¯ve cried from being scared. This child wasn¡¯t afraid at all. Instead, it smiled at people. When they looked again, they saw that the child had a pair of deep purple eyes. This made the elders even more surprised. Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi had ck eyes, why does the child have purple eyes?
¡°If you return the child to me, I will let you go today.¡± Feng Cang still had a cold expression and repeated the sentence of just now.
¡°You will let us go?¡± Longze Jing Tianughed. His big hand stroked Feng Xiao¡¯s head. ¡°Feng Cang, do you think he can bear it if my hand goes on like this?¡±
¡°If you dare to hurt Xiao er, I will let you be buried with him!¡±
Feng Cang¡¯s words made the smile on Longze Jing Tian¡¯s face be bigger. ¡°I had long been a dead person. Dead is nothing to me. However, little shizi6 has just been born. His life has just begun, but will have to be buried with me. The life of the dead for the life of a newborn really makes people happy! Moreover, you would feel guilty your whole life about your weak protection and continue to remember me. This makes me even happier.¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words were a bit disorderly, making people unable to guess the meaning. Feng Cang understood his implied meaning. Even if Longze Jing Tian died, he wanted to let Feng Qi Qi remember him for her whole life. Even if it was in the name of hate. This person really had gone crazy!
¡°My son won¡¯t die. The one who will die is you!¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t care about the meaning of the sadness in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s words. The golden thread in her hand already had gone straight at Longze Jing Tian.
¡°Ha...¡± Feng Qi Qi attacked, how could Feng Cang just stand by and watch? A white light shed and he appeared in front of Longze Jing Tian.
However, Longze Jing Tian was also not someone easy to deal with. He seemed to have long expected that the two would attack. He held Feng Xiao and retreated like the wind.
¡°Give me back the child!¡±
How would Feng Qi Qi give Longze Jing Tian the opportunity to retreat? The golden thread went to his back and sealed his retreat. When Duyi saw that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi picked Longze Jing Tian, how could he stand by and watch? He immediately drew his sword and went against Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Humph!¡± Seeing that someone blocked her, Feng Qi Qi sneered. The golden threads in her hand shed and entangled Duyi.
Duyi now felt that it was the wrong choice to pick Feng Qi Qi. He had only heard some rumors regarding Feng Qi Qi. The rumors didn¡¯t mention how her martial arts was. However, now it seemed that it was as what Taji Guli said. This woman couldn¡¯t be belittled.
It seemed a littlete for Duyi to think so. Every attack of Feng Qi Qi was to take his life, making him change from attacking to a difficult defense. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s attacks were vicious and unrelenting. In just a while, a denseyer of sweat appeared on Duyi¡¯s forehead.
Duyi was Peni Ind¡¯s second great disciple. Ming Yue Cheng had exined his identity to the four elders. Now, Feng Qi Qi attacked Peni Ind¡¯s disciple, making him have no way of retaliating, made these people even more surprised.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that this girl¡¯s cultivation to be so high....,¡± Second elder didn¡¯t finish his sentence, but the others understood what he meant. Feng Qi Qi was so young but was able to reach the ninth level. She was really a rare genius of the world.
¡°She¡¯s so powerful. The regent is also a powerful figure!¡±
Gu De¡¯s words led everyone¡¯s eyes from Feng Qi Qi to Feng Cang who was fighting with Longze Jing Tian. Because Feng Xiao was in Longze Jing Tian¡¯s hand, every time Feng Cangunched an attack, Longze Jing Tian would put Feng Xiao in front to block the attack, making it so that Feng Cang had no way but to retrieve his attack. It was the kind of feeling that a string of arrows was blocked in the middle of the road. This made people feel that Feng Cang was even deeper and unmeasurable.
Even the elders on the scene wouldn¡¯t be able to control the force so naturally and stop the attack instantly. How strong was his level of control?!
Originally, Ming Yue Cheng wanted to help. After he saw Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qiunch an attack, he retreated to a side. Looking at the red and white figure fighting in the air, Ming Yue Cheng felt that he had always been an outsider. These two people were a match made from heaven. Their appearance and ability were very strong. They matched in all aspects. They were really a match made from heaven. Others simply couldn¡¯t get in between.
The expression of Ming Yue Cheng was exposed to the eyes of Gu De. Gu De couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He had watched Ming Yue Cheng grew up. He (MYC) was now the ruler of a country and had managed Nan Feng well and orderly. Gu De had to say that he (MYC) was a very good emperor. But in the matter of love, he was persistent just like thete empress. This was the only bad thing about Ming Yue Cheng.
He (GD) hoped that after seeing the scene in front of him (MYC), Ming Yue Cheng would open the knot in his heart and ept other women. Otherwise, how should the dynasty of Nan Feng be continued? This was really a headache!
Before Gu De could finish his thoughts, all he heard was a scream. Taji Guli fell from the air and Su Mei¡¯s round moon dagger directly cut off her neck. The screams of Taji Guli made Duyi distracted. After hearing the whistling sound, Duyi shouted, ¡°Not good.¡± The golden threads of Feng Qi Qi were tightly wrapped around his neck.
¡°Kacha....¡± The sound of fracture of the neck bone was heard clearly by Duyi. He never thought that he would die like this. Duyi was somewhat unwilling to ept it. He felt that he lived this life stupidly and cowardly. At Peni Ind, he was suppressed by Misha. Here, he was suppressed by Longze Jing Tian, and now he had to die at the hands of a woman. He couldn¡¯t ept it.
However, all the unwillingness was ended with that ¡®kacha¡¯ sound. His life hade to an end here. So many unwillingness, he could never strike back.
The death of Taji Guli and Duyi made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes gloomy. Feng Cang¡¯s attacks were too fierce. If Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t in his hands, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take on it. Now that his twopanions were dead, he was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to walk away today.
After seeing the red dress of Feng Qi Qi appear in front of his eyes, Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart hardened and he plunged right into the dragon pool.
¡°Feng Cang, Feng Qi Qi, if you dare toe over, I¡¯ll throw the child into the water to feed the fish!¡±
Longze Jing Tian could swim, so he was now swimming towards the centre of the dragon pool, while his other hand held Feng Xiao. The delicate neck of Feng Xiao was scratched by Longze Jing Tian and blood poured out. After feeling the pain, Feng Xiao finally made a cry once.
¡°Xiao er....¡± The wounds were on Feng Xiao¡¯s body but it hurt the heart of Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi wanted to go over regardless of anything but was stopped by Feng Cang.
¡°Longze Jing Tian, what do you want?¡±
Longze Jing Tian was clearly prepared a life or death struggle afterhe had brought Feng Xiao into the water. That was why he cut through the neck of Feng Xiao and wanted to use his (FX) blood to attract the creatures of the water in the pool. This person (LJT) was really vicious.
¡°What do I want?¡± After hearing Feng Cang¡¯s words, Longze Jing Tian stopped and looked at the snow-white dressed Feng Cang on the shore. Heughed out in tears, ¡°Will you give me anything I want? I want you to kneel down? Will you?¡±
The words of Longze Jing Tian made Wanyan Kang furious, ¡°What are you? You actually want my cousin to kneel down?¡±
Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t finish his words yet, Longze Jing Tian had made a cut on Feng Xiao¡¯s small hands with the knife. ¡°Feng Cang, do you want to watch your son die or is your dignity more important? I want you to kneel down for me, kneel down!¡±
The atmosphere was heavy on the field. Everyone looked at the crazy man in the dragon pool. The sound of Feng Xiao¡¯s cries slowly came through, though not loud, but Feng Cang¡¯s heart still felt as painful as a knife cut.
¡°It seems that you don¡¯t like this child so much! Hahahaha....¡±
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t finishughing, Feng Cang lifted up his white clothes and knelt down on the ground.
The kneeling of Feng Cang was unexpected to Longze Jing Tian. When he saw that proud man kneel in front of him now, Longze Jing Tianughed madly, ¡°Hahahaha! Feng Cang, you didn¡¯t think that this day wille, right? Hahaha! Someone so proud like you is actually kneeling in front of me! Hahaha!¡±
Longze Jing Tian¡¯s madness made people furious. Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears flowed down after watching this man beside her kneel. On one side was her child who she carried for ten months, and on the other side was her lover of this life. How could this not make her sad?
Feng Qi Qi shedding tears made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s smile be stiff. His eyes were like a vicious snake and nced at Feng Cang, ¡°The first condition, you did it, very well; the second, I want Feng Qi Qi to go with me!¡±
¡°Impossible!¡± Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to finish his words, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi spoke out at the same time. The tacit understanding of the two made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s eyes darken, ¡°So, you two want to watch Feng Xiao¡¯s die? I thought that you loved your child very much, but I didn¡¯t expect that the one you two love are each other, ah!¡±
Longze Jing Tian once again made a cut on Feng Xiao¡¯s hands. The red blood ran down from Feng Xiao¡¯s fair arms and formed a sharp contrast with the white arms of Feng Xiao. Drop by drop, the blood fell in the water, forming a ripple of light red, spreading in circles and submerged in the water.

Chapter 205 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (4)
Contrary to before, Feng Xiao¡¯s crying came to an abrupt end. He seemed to know what he was experiencing and no longer cried. Instead, he kept looking at Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi on the shore.
¡°Xiao er1....¡± Feng Xiao¡¯s eyes made Feng Qi Qi¡¯s chest very painful. ¡°Longze Jing Tian, if you hurt my Xiao er, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Feng Qi Qi jumped up suddenly and like a red figure stepped on the surface of the water. At the same time, Feng Cang also like a gust of white wind, swirled up the sand from the ground and rushed to Longze Jing Tian.
The murderous aura around these two people was heavy. Longze Jing Tian continued to retreat in the water. As Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were about toe to Longze Jing Tian, a rumbling sound was heard from the water.
The blue-green water of the pool suddenly turned ck, and a huge monster suddenly surfaced out of the water. The huge waves swept Longze Jing Tian into the water. Feng Cang took Feng Qi Qi into his arms and quickly brought her to the shore.
¡°Xiao er....¡± Feng Qi Qi screamed after watching the waves swept Longze Jing Tian and he disappeared in the water. At the same time, a giant monster appeared suddenly in front of everyone.
¡°Dragon, Dragon God....¡± When Gu De and the four elders saw the monster in front of them, they were shocked, and quickly knelt down to pay their respect. That water monster, with a slender neck and a huge body, only revealed half of its body, but it looked already veryrge.
¡°Xiao er! Xiao er!¡± Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t care what this monster was. She wanted to rush over, but was hugged tightly by Feng Cang. ¡°Qing Qing, calm down!¡±
¡°How do you want me to be calm, my Xiao er is still in the water, I¡¯m going to save....¡± Feng Qi Qi hadn¡¯t finished her words, Feng Cang gave her a blow in her neck.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t wait for Ming Yue Cheng to understand, he handed Feng Qi Qi over to him, ¡°Help me take care of her!¡±
¡°What about you....¡± Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t finish his words when he saw Feng Cang jumped into the water. ¡°Feng Cang....¡± It turned out that Feng Cang stopped Feng Qi Qi because he was worried that she would enter the water to look for Feng Xiao, and was worried that Feng Qi Qi might get hurt. That was why he did this to her. He did it to enter the water himself.
After hearing a ssh of water, the water monster saw Feng Cang jump into the water. It looked at the people on the shore and then with a huge whirlpool, it sank into the water.
Just a momentter, the dragon pool was restored to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.
¡°Where, where is cousin?¡± Wanyan Kang couldn¡¯t believe what happened in front of him. Suddenly, there was a monster, then Longze Jing Tian, Feng Xiao and Feng Cang disappeared? What had happened?
Wanyan Kang looked at Su Mei, but she was also shocked. It seemed that she didn¡¯t wake up from what had just happened. Was that monster actually the Dragon God? What¡¯s this?
Just after the water monster had disappeared, Gu De and the four elders stood up. Su Mei quickly went to Gu De. ¡°Chief, what¡¯s that water monster? Will our guye2 be in danger?¡±
Gu De and the four elders saw Feng Cang enter the dragon pool with their own eyes. Their expressions hadn¡¯t recovered from the shock yet.
¡°Miss Su Mei, that¡¯s the Dragon God of dragon pool. It¡¯s really rare to encounter it. You alle and it appeared. It¡¯s really amazing!¡± The words of second elder made Su Mei tremble. Isn¡¯t the legendary dragon capable of mounting the clouds and riding the mist? How did that water monster be Dragon God?
¡°Then will my cousin be alright?¡±
Wanyan Kang was now most worried about Feng Cang. He (FC) alone went deep into the dragon pool to find Feng Xiao. If something happened to him, not only could he not find Feng Xiao, but he could also lose his own life. Wouldn¡¯t Feng Qi Qi going to go crazy when she woke up?!
Gu De and the four elders shook their heads at Wanyan Kang¡¯s question. ¡°We don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know?!¡± Wanyan Kang raised his voice, ¡°Isn¡¯t this your territory? Something like this happened and you all don¡¯t know?¡±
¡°Xiaoyao wang3, there are very few people who cane out of the dragon pool. Very, very few. You¡¯re asking us, but how do we know?!¡± Gu De and the four elders were also very anxious. This water monster had been living in the dragon pool. It was granted the title of Dragon God and it was rare to see it.
Thest appearance was forty years ago. At that time, Gu De was still a small kid. Some people also came to remove a gu at that time. Gu De remembered that in the end the man was drowned in the dragon pool and blood spread out in the water. Later, he didn¡¯te out again. Now, Feng Cang was determined to enter the pool for Feng Xiao. He (GD) was afraid that it was likely more a disaster than blessing....
These words, Gu De only thought about it in his heart but didn¡¯t say it out loudly. Looking at the grave expressions of the elders, they must have thought the same as him. Feng Qi Qi was unconscious and Feng Cang went into the dragon pool. If something happened to Feng Cang, the oue was not something the Qiang tribe could bear.
Feng Cang went into the dragon pool, just like how a fish would enter the water. He glided in the water and looked for Longze Jing Tian and Feng Xiao. With the experience of being trapped in the cold pond for more than ten years, the dragon pool was nothing to Feng Cang. He was like a white fish skillfully and easily swimming in the water.
Xiao er! Where are you, Xiao er?
Feng Cang knew that it was the blood of Feng Xiao that attracted the water monster. However, that monster didn¡¯t seem to be malicious. Otherwise, with its huge body and great attack power, he would¡¯ve already be a dead man.
When Feng Cang¡¯s head came out of the water, Min Yue Cheng¡¯s eyes were sharp and was the first one who saw him (FC). ¡°It¡¯s Feng Cang! Look, it¡¯s Feng Cang!¡±
¡°Cousin is fine! Heaven, emituofo!¡± Even if Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t believe in Buddhism, he couldn¡¯t help saying ¡®emituofo¡¯ after seeing Feng Cang safe and sound.
Feng Cang just showed up slightly, he took a breath and plunged into the water again.
It was alreadyte spring, early summer. The water of the dragon pool was cold but it wasn¡¯t bone-chilling. Feng Cang continued to look for traces of Feng Xiao, but the pool was a thousand feet deep. How could he find him?
Feng Cang was looking for the whereabouts of Longze Jing Tian and Feng Xiao. He didn¡¯t know that at the other end, Longze Jing Tian had already emerged from the water. The wave of just now was too fierce, it really caught him off guard. Fortunately, his swimming skills were excellent, so it didn¡¯t take long for him to emerge again.
The first thing that Longze Jing Tian did after he emerged from the water was to check on Feng Xiao. He originally thought that Feng Xiao had experienced such a thing and had a round in the water, he (FX) would definitely die. He didn¡¯t expect him (FX) to be only red-faced, and that only his mouth and nose constantly emitted water. It seemed that he still had a breath. Longze Jing Tian hurriedly pressed the water out of Feng Xiao¡¯s belly, and waited until he spit out the waterpletely. He then let out a sigh of relief.
Looking around, Longze Jing Tian was far away from the shore and could see a few figures on the shore. He was now in the centre of the dragon pool. It would take some time from here to the shore. After thinking about it, Longze Jing Tian intended not to lose time here anymore. First, leave with Feng Xiao, and then make ns for the future. No matter what, he would never let go of Feng Qi Qi.
¡°Isn¡¯t that Longze Jing Tian?!¡± Just as Longze Jing Tian was about to leave, Su Mei was sharp and saw the heading out of the water. Although it was far away, Su Mei could still clearly distinguished that person wasn¡¯t Feng Cang at all. Apart from Feng Cang, only Longze Jing Tian was in the pool. This person must be him! However, the problem was that Longze Jing Tian was in the centre of the dragon pool and there was no boat. How could they catch him!
Just as Su Mei and the others were in a hurry, a ¡®woo¡¯ sound was heard. Feng Qi Qi woke up. Feng Cang didn¡¯t use a heavy hand. He just let her faint temporarily. So after a while, Feng Qi Qi woke up. As soon as she didn¡¯t see the water monster, and that Feng Cang was no longer around, Feng Qi Qi already guessed what the problem was.
¡°Cousin-inw....¡± After seeing that Feng Qi Qi¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t right, Wanyan Kang quickly went forward. ¡°Cousin is fine, you can rest assured!¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s face sank even more after Wanyan Kang said so. Well done, Feng Cang (sarcastic). All said that husband and wife are of one mind. At this moment, you actually took the risks on your own and let me be on the side. Was this one mind?!
¡°Where is he?¡±
Feng Qi Qi asked this question, but Wanyan Kang didn¡¯t know whether she was talking about Feng Cang or Longze Jing Tian. He quickly told her the whereabouts of the two people. As soon as she heard that Feng Cang really went down in the dragon pool, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart choked. This bastard! Although the weather was warm, the dragon pool was cold. Feng Cang was originally tortured by the cold poison for years. Although his body was fine now, but after all, it wasn¡¯t a good thing to soak in the cold water. He was really a fool!
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t speak and looked around with her beautiful eyes. Not far away, she found a washboard-size nk. She immediately picked it up and threw it into the water.
¡°Miss....¡± Su Mei could roughly guess the idea of Feng Qi Qi. Before she (SM) could stop her (FQQ), Feng Qi Qi had jumped on the nk floating on the water.
¡°Call Jin Mo!¡± Feng Qi Qi turned around and urged them. Then, with a single foot, paddled into the dragon pool.
1. Er: term of endearment
2. Guye: son-inw, also used by the servants of the mistress¡¯ family
3. Wang/wangye: the first-rank prince
Chapter 206 Love is in sky of affection (5)
Chapter 206 Love is in sky of affection (5)
Just saw a woman like red dust, lightly touching the blue waves, and like a fire-colored dragonfly ying on the water surface. It made the people on the shore dazed.
When Feng Cang surfaced from the water again, he noticed something strange. He looked again and Feng Qi Qi had already arrived in front of him.
¡°Qing Qing....¡± Feng Cang hadn¡¯t finished his words yet, he was entangled in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s golden threads and was pulled out of the water, ¡°I¡¯ll punish youter! First, let¡¯s save Xiao er!¡±
When Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi caught up, Longze Jing Tian was only five meters away from the shore. He had discovered earlier that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were chasing after him, but didn¡¯t expect they came to him (LJT) by crossing the water on just a piece of wood.
¡°Give me the child!¡± The golden threads were fluttering in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands. Longze Jing Tian could see that the woman had the heart to kill him. His eyes were full of unwillingness, so he grasped Feng Xiao and sank into the water together.
Feng Qi Qi, I couldn¡¯t get you, so I wouldn¡¯t let you be happy too! Even if you hate me, I had to live in your heart!
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t notice that at the same time, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi both got into the water and swam over. Longze Jing Tian who was in the water, saw that the two wereing from the opposite side. He wanted to choke Feng Xiao to death, but the speed of Feng Cang was even faster than him.
Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t feel the pain yet, two streams of watery blood spread from his knees. When he noticed the pain, the golden threads in Feng Qi Qi¡¯s hands had already brought out Feng Xiao.
Feng Cang wanted to kill Longze Jing Tian but was pulled out of the water by Feng Qi Qi. After seeing the shadow in the water moving closer and closer to them, Feng Qi Qi shouted loudly, ¡°Let¡¯s go¡±, and stepped on the water with Feng Cang to rapidly go ashore.
Although Feng Cang had already seen the real appearance of the water monster, he still felt that this monster was very scary when he saw it once again. The two just got ashore, the slender head of the monster had already surfaced with the body of Longze Jing Tian in its mouth. He (LJT) was still struggling, but the part below his knee hadpletely disappeared.
¡°Help! Save me!¡±
The fishy smell emitted from the water monster¡¯s mouth made Longze Jing Tian get a kind of unprecedented fear in his heart. Was he going to be the food of this monster? He didn¡¯t want this! No!
At this side, Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang hade ashore. Feng Qi Qi just nced at the water monster and then concentrated on the treatment of Feng Xiao. Fortunately, Feng Xiao was just choked on water. Although the face was pale, it was nothing serious. Feng Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Cang quickly used his inner energy to dry the swaddling clothes of Feng Xiao.
¡°Save me!¡± Longze Jing Tian¡¯s scream was heard. Feng Qi Qi looked up and coldly looked at the poor man struggling in the mouth of the water monster. There were no other emotions except the coldness in her eyes.
If she hadn¡¯t noticed that the water monster was approaching, she would definitely kill Longze Jing Tian with her own hands. How could Feng Qi Qi save him after he had schemed against Feng Xiao like this?!
¡°Save me! I beg you, save me!¡± Longze Jing Tian didn¡¯t know why the water monster didn¡¯t eat him now, but its sharp teeth had already prated his chest. Longze Jing Tian could feel his life gradually flow away, but he still couldn¡¯t help but ask Feng Qi Qi to save him. However, he was met with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s indifferent and cold eyes.
This look made Longze Jing Tian¡¯s heart tremble. Feng Qi Qi was gentle, enchanting, cunning and noble. However, she had never had such an attitude, like she couldn¡¯t wait for him to die immediately.
Yes, she hoped that he would die right away.
Longze Jing Tian began to feel his eyes bing blurry. The pain from his body could no longer be described by simple words.
After Feng Qi Qi had treated Feng Xiao, Feng Cang held his son and held her thin waist. The two walked farther and farther, and left only a cold back facing Longze Jing Tian. This view of the back made Longze Jing Tian cold from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this time he had really lost.
¡°Cousin, cousin-inw, are you two alright? Is Xiao er alright?¡±
Wanyan Kang and the others who were on the other side of the Dragon pool, hurriedly came over. When they arrived, the water monster opened its mouth and swallowed Longze Jing Tian.
Everyone was shocked to see this scene. Fortunately, this water monster didn¡¯t hurt other people. Instead, the monster nced at them and sank into the water again. Everything had be calm again.
¡°Xiao er is alright!¡± After saying this, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s legs gave out and fell in the arms of Feng Cang.
She didn¡¯t feel scared just now. Now that she thought about it. If Feng Xiao had some unexpected misfortunes, she would never be able to get through this.
¡°Jin Mo, quickly, take a look at Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang saw that Feng Qi Qi was losing focus from her eyes, he immediately asked Jin Mo to examine Feng Qi Qi. The result was that she was well and in good health. Feng Cang was then relieved.
¡°Wangye1, let me examine you too!¡± Jin Mo came to Feng Cang and felt his (FC) pulse. After a while, he nodded, ¡°Wangye is also in good health!¡±
After hearing Jin Mo said that Feng Cang was fine, Feng Qi Qi slowly recovered from her absent-mindedness. ¡°It¡¯s good that there¡¯s nothing! It¡¯s fine as long as the whole family is safe and sound!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s good that there¡¯s nothing! Little shizi2 is fine, Miss is fine, guye3 is also fine! So great!¡± The matter of just now, it really frightened Su Mei. She was afraid that the water monster might do something to Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang. Now that she saw that they were safe and sound, Su Mei¡¯s eyes became red. ¡°It¡¯s good that there¡¯s nothing!¡±
Because of a series of idents, the test of Feng Cang entering the dragon pool was directly exempted. On the second day, Gu De took Feng Xiao to see the elders.
Previously, the elders didn¡¯t pay much attention to Feng Xiao. Except for elder Teng Yuan who was still in drug rehabilitation, the remaining four elders were waiting for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s child. They had already seen scene of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi at the dragon pool yesterday. In addition, the Dragon God had appeared. After the four people discussed, they decided to get rid of Feng Xiao¡¯s gu.
¡°How is it?¡± Although Gu De was a master at removing gu, at the Qiang tribe, the elders were the symbol of power. Not to mention, the elders¡¯ gu skill was more superior than him. The first thing he did was carrying Feng Xiao to see the elders.
¡°Strange!¡± After Great elder had examined Feng Xiao, his eyes became strange. Second elder also came over. ¡°Big brother, is he?¡±
Second elder didn¡¯t finish his sentence and his expression became very surprised. After the remaining two elders examined, the four people¡¯s expressions were alike.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Gu De looked at the four elders and felt that something had happened. Great elder didn¡¯t answer Gu De examine Feng Xiao.
After examination, Gu De¡¯s eyes becameplicated and excited.
¡°Could it be that he¡¯s the legendary gu man who was rare to encounter once in hundred years?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Great elder nodded, ¡°I heard that this child had been poisoned in the womb with gu, and presumably he began to raise the gu in the womb.¡±
The words of Great Elder affirmed the thoughts of Gu De. He didn¡¯t know what to say now. After discussing with the four elders, he (GD) immediately invited Feng Cang and his wife over.
¡°Gu man?¡±
Hearing the word, Feng Qi Qi furrowed. Hearing it, it seemed a bad word. But why did she see shining stars from the eyes of the elders?
¡°What is a gu man?¡±
¡°ording to our saying, the gu man is given to the people of Qiang tribe by the Gu God. It¡¯s a God¡¯s gift to us.¡±
Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t doubt these words of fifth Elder. However, Feng Xiao was the gu man. No matter how she listened to it, it was somewhat different from normal people. It felt weird.
¡°Princess, the gu man has the supreme honor in our Qiang tribe.¡±
Great elder was the eldest, so he saw the worries of Feng Qi Qi. He quickly exined to her in detail what the gu man was. In the history of the Qiang tribe, every time a gu man appeared, the Qiang tribe would get a vigorous development. Gu man, it sounded frightening, but in fact, it was just that this person brought gu with him from the womb. And wouldter put the the study of the gu to great use. He wasn¡¯t a monster.
In the past hundred years, there hadn¡¯t appeared any gu man in the Qiang tribe. Although some people had eaten gu while they were pregnant and wanted to give birth to a gu man, there was no sess. They didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xiao was one.
¡°You mean not to help Xiao er remove the gu?¡± Feng Cang immediately got a hold of what was happening here.
Gu Deughed with embarrassment when Feng Cang pointed it out so bluntly, ¡°Regent is straightforward. Yes, we mean this. Originally, you came to remove the gu, but little shizi is a rare gu man. Furthermore, we have just examined him carefully, the gu poison in his body doesn¡¯t harm him. Instead, because that gu is with little shizi together from the beginning in the womb, it actually is very protective of little shizi.¡±
After Gu De said this, Feng Cang also remembered. Feng Xiao was indeed different after birth. He didn¡¯t have the symptoms of being poisoned by the gu. On the contrary, he could eat and sleep like normal babies. Could it be because of what Gu De said?
¡°What we mean is that we want to keep little shizi here....¡± As soon as second elder said it, the faces of Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi changed slightly. Second elder hurriedly exined, ¡°We won¡¯t harm little shizi. We want to pass on the best studies of gu to him. After all, gu man is a rare encounter in a hundred years. If little shizi likes it, we¡¯re willing to teach him all the studies of the gu.¡±
Although Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t understand the importance of a gu man to the Qiang tribe, they could see the expression of the five people in front of them. They (FC/FQQ) probably could guess the gu man was probably like the existence of a spiritual leader. That was why they (elders+GD) were so eager.
It seemed a bit impossible to let Feng Xiao stay in Qiang tribe and learn the study of the gu. That meant that they had to be separated from Feng Xiao. In addition, Feng Xiao might not like the little worm in his body, and might not be willing to learn the study of the gu.
After being silent for a while, Feng Cang looked at Feng Qi Qi. She could read the meaning of Feng Cang¡¯s eyes and nodded at him.
¡°Since the gu isn¡¯t harmful to Xiao er, we¡¯ll take Feng Xiao back.¡± Feng Cang¡¯s answer, let the little stars burning in the eyes of the elders died down instantly. Just a moment ago, they were looking forward that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi would leave Feng Xiao here. Now, the father wasn¡¯t willing, they couldn¡¯t really go snatch him from them. After all, Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t from the Qiang tribe. In addition, he was still so small and couldn¡¯t be separated from his parents.
¡°But....¡± Feng Qi Qi opened her mouth after seeing the disappointment in the eyes of these elders.
When they heard this ¡®but¡¯, great elder seemed to see the hope again, ¡°But what? What conditions does the princess have? We can ept it all!¡±
The great elder said so, every elder next to him nodded vigorously, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! We ept all conditions!¡±
Their behavior made Feng Qi Qi shook her head with a smile. ¡°I can see that you all won¡¯t hurt Xiao er. I¡¯m very relieved. But I won¡¯t take the happiness of my son as a condition of exchange! Although I and Cang are Xiao er¡¯s parents, we have no right to decide the future of Xiao er. Our decision is to wait when Xiao er is big enough and let him make his own choice. If he¡¯s willing to learn the study of the gu and is willing to stay at the Qiang tribe, I and Cang will never stop him.¡±
The words of Feng Qi Qi were equivalent to giving these people reassurance.
Gu De thought that such noble people as Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi wouldn¡¯t let their child learn the study of the gu. After all, the study of the gu was a frightful existence in the eyes of others. He didn¡¯t expect that these two people were so open-minded that they left the choice to Feng Xiao.
¡°Princess, do you and the regent really think so?¡±
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi were so open-minded that it was beyond the expectations of the elders. Let Feng Xiao choose, that child would definitely choose the the study of the gu and the Qiang tribe. He had a gu in his body. As long as the gu and the child cultivate good feelings, he wouldn¡¯t reject the study of the gu, nor would he reject the gu. Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi asked their son to make his own choice. In fact, the four elders could already expect the results.
¡°Yes. The future of our child, we¡¯ll let him decide it. We as parents won¡¯t interfere.¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Great elder was somewhat excited, and his eyes were red. ¡°Since the two of you are so open-minded, we won¡¯t say anything else. We also respect the opinions of little shizi. No matter when little shizi wants to learn, he cane to the Qiang tribe. The door of our Qiang tribe will always be open to him!¡±
¡°Right! He cane over at any time!¡±
The promise of the four elders and Gu De made Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi more reassuring. As for Feng Xiao, it was better to see him grow up and made his own decisions!
¡°Cousin-inw, do you really want to let Xiao er makes his own choices? Why do I feel that this child really likes it here?¡± Wanyan Kang teased Feng Xiao, causing him (FX) to giggle.
Surprisingly, Feng Xiao didn¡¯t appear to have suffered any physical changes due to the drowning in the dragon pool before. Instead, after he was fed with milk and slept, he was the same as before. If he was the average baby, he would be sick at least for a few days. Contrariwise, this child was very sturdy.
¡°Well! If Xiao er likes it, we won¡¯t stop him.¡±
¡°Cousin-inw, you and cousin are really open-minded!¡±
When Wanyan Kang and Feng Qi Qi were talking, Feng Cang came over and his face was a bit grave.
¡°Cousin, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing the letter in Feng Cang¡¯s hand, Wanyan Kang stood up. Somehow, Wanyan Kang had a bad feeling in his heart. Before he could guess what happened, Feng Cang¡¯s next remark startled him directly.
¡°Wanyan Jie died.¡±
¡°What?!¡± The news that came out of Feng Cang¡¯s mouth, not only startled Wanyan Kang, but also Feng Qi Qi and Su Mei who were next to them.
¡°How can Jie er die?¡±
Feng Qi Qi snatched the letter from Feng Cang¡¯s hand and saw it from the beginning to the end. After seeing Wanyan Jie¡¯s death written by Dongfang Lan herself, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s tears fell down immediately. That, little kid, was gone just like that? When she (FQQ) left, Wanyan Jie was reluctant to part with her and pulled her, so that she must bring little brother back to y with him. She didn¡¯t expect that it was just a few months of separation, but it became an eternal farewell....
Reluctant to part: broken-hearted at having to leave.
¡°Wanyan Hong, that bastard!¡± After Wanyan Kang had finished reading the letter, he gnashed his teeth and cursed.
Gnashing one¡¯s teeth: disying extreme anger.
It turned out that there was a pce maid around Wanyan Jie who was Wanyan Hong¡¯s spy. After Wanyan Hong¡¯s defeat, he wasn¡¯t willing to ept it. He seemed to expect he would encounter this kind of ending, so he let the insider feed Wanyan Jie poison.
¡°This man is really is deserving of death! I really hate myself for being kind at that time and let him keep his life.¡±
Feng Qi Qi¡¯s eyes were gloomy. A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs. The abnormal state of Wanyan Hong had already exceeded the normal range of people. He actually poisoned his only son. What was this man¡¯s heart made of?!
A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs: even wild beasts look after their young.
¡°I want him to die!¡±
The cold air around Feng Qi Qi was something that Wanyan Kang had never seen before. He had never seen Feng Qi Qi hate a person so much, nor had he seen Feng Qi Qi with a murderous aura so strong like this. Wanyan Hong was really not a human. He actually had done such a thing! He ought to be killed!
¡°I have already replied to grandmother to execute Wanyan Hong to lingering death.¡±
Lingering death, also called death by a thousand cuts (Áè³Ù´¦ËÀ): an old form of execution in ancient China where a knife was used to slice a part of the body while they were still alive over a period of time, and eventually leading to death. This form of slow torture execution was reserved for people who hadmitted a capital crime, such as treason.
¡°The lingering death is still too light for him! Need to find the best knife executioner and slice his meat down pieces by pieces! I want to see what his heart is made of! What did Wanyan Jie do wrong! That¡¯s his own son!¡±
Speaking till the end, Feng Qi Qi¡¯s voice was already trembling slightly. She still couldn¡¯t ept the fact that that innocent and lovely child had actually died in the hands of his own father. Wanyan Hong was really worse than a beast!
¡°Alright!¡± Feng Cang took Feng Qi Qi in his arms, and gently stroked her trembling back with his big hand, ¡°All will be done ording to Qing Qing¡¯s wishes!¡±
The coldness in Feng Cang¡¯s eyes was bottomless. Wanyan Hong, who was far away in the prison of Bei Zhou, didn¡¯t know that what he was waiting for was three days and nights of lingering death. If he had known earlier that it was so painful, he vowed that he wouldn¡¯t do such a stupid thing.
Five yearster.
Since the death of Bei Zhou¡¯s emperor Wanyan Jie, there had been civil unrest. The new emperor Wanyan Kang ascended the throne. On the foundation of five years, he made the opposition forces into Bei Zhou¡¯s territories/ fugitives. Furthermore, the rebels of the former Dong Lu were suppressed one by one, and finally weed peace and prosperity.
But after the country had settled down, the once-famous regent Feng Cang and Princess Zhen Guo Feng Qi Qi dropped a resignation letter, and took the whole family to the feudal state of the regent, Yongzhou. Since then, they no longer took interest in the affairs of the country.
¡°Bastard, bastard!¡± In the pce of Bei Zhou, Wanyan Kang cursed after reading a letter, ¡°This throne should cousin¡¯s, but he put me on it! He¡¯s really a jerk!¡±
¡°Ah Kang, what are you saying?¡±
Su Mei, who was the empress of the country, had entered the imperial study room with her big belly. As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the angry voice of Wanyan Kang. She realized that he was angry again because of the matter of Feng Cang, and immediately walked in with a smile.
¡°Little Mei er, why did youe? Where are the people serving you? Where are they?¡±
After seeing Su Mei, Wanyan Kang immediately became gentle. He quickly stepped forward to help Su Mei, and carefully apanied by her side. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait for me in the chamber? Do you me me for beingte? I¡¯m almost done with the things here. Wait for me! Right, aren¡¯t you hungry? How is the baby?¡±
Su Mei could only make a helpless expression at the series of questions from Wanyan Kang. Ever since she became pregnant, Wanyan Kang was even more nervous than she, the pregnant woman. Every day was like this. Su Mei suspected that Wanyan Kang got this so-called ¡®prenatal depression¡¯ that Feng Qi Qi said.
¡°Jin Mo said that I should walk more. This way, it¡¯s easier for a natural birth! So, I came to see you, and I miss you too!¡±
One sentence of Su Mei ¡®I miss you¡¯ let Wanyan Kang feel great, ¡°I miss you too, muah muah!¡±
Seeing the mouth of Wanyan Kang moving closer, Su Mei pped and pushed him away, ¡°Cheesy! There are others here!¡±
1. Wanye/wang: the prince of first rank
2. Shizi: the heir if the first-rank prince, usually born by the main wife
3. Guye: son-inw, also used by the family of the mistress

Chapter 207 (Part 1) Love is in sky of affection (6)
Wanyan Kang was beaten up, but he didn¡¯t get angry. Instead, he handed the letter he had just received to Su Mei. ¡°Look! My cousin and cousin-inw took my aunt and uncle with them to the Number one vige under Heavens to enjoy their life and left me here. Little Mei er1, don¡¯t you feel pity for me? Don¡¯t you agree that they are bullying me?!¡±
As soon as Su Mei heard that it was Feng Qi Qi¡¯s letter, she was extremely overjoyed. ¡°Miss sent a letter? I don¡¯t even know how miss is doing at the moment. How¡¯s her morning sickness now? Did it get better?¡±
Although she has be the country¡¯s empress and was addressed as such by others when she went out, her way of addressing Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t change at all, because she still regarded her (FQQ) as her miss in her heart.
After she finished reading the letter, Su Mei¡¯s happy expression turned into a pout. It was apparent that she was not happy at the moment. Wanyan Kang knew that she also wanted to go to the Number one vige under Heavens, but she was pregnant, and this was her first pregnancy, so she had to stay in the pce to give birth. Otherwise, just based on Su Mei and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s good rtionship, it was certain that she would have thrown him, this emperor aside and followed her miss to the Number one vige under Heavens.
¡°Little Mei er, don¡¯t be sad. When the baby¡¯s born, I¡¯ll take you to Yongzhou, alright?¡±
¡°Humph! Still talking?! It¡¯s all your fault! You, this bad guy!¡± As soon as Su Mei thought of this, she will get angry. She had never been away from Feng Qi Qi for such a long time. Even more now, when Feng Qi Qi had to take care of three children. She (SM) didn¡¯t know if she (FQQ) will be able to endure it. It was by coincidence that Su Mei got pregnant and couldn¡¯t stay at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. All of these was brought by the ¡®culprit¡¯ Wanyan Kang.
When she thought of this, Su Mei punched Wanyan Kang once.
¡°Aiya, little Mei er, it hurts so much!¡± Wanyan Kang held his chest and lowered his body. He kept shouting. Although, he had used this trick many times, but it seemed to still be useful at this time.
¡°How are you? Does it hurt very much?¡±
Su Mei remembered that her punch was not light, she immediately wanted to help Wanyan Kang get up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I just missed miss!¡±
¡°Little Mei er, your heart only has cousin-inw. When had you put me and the child on the first ce?¡± Wanyan Kang squatted on the floor. His voice was choking with sobs. Him being like this made Su Mei flustered. It seemed that Wanyan Kang had never been like this. No matter what she did, Wanyan Kang was always all smiles and had neverined. What happened to him today?
¡°I...¡±
¡°Little Mei er, you are my wife and the mother of my child. You are Bei Zhou¡¯s empress. However, in your heart cousin-inw had always stood at the first ce. Do you know how sad that makes me?¡±
Wanyan Kang continued to clutch his chest while squatting. He didn¡¯t look at Su Mei and his voice trembled.
Him being like this made Su Mei had some doubts in her heart. Could it be that she really cared too much about Feng Qi Qi and so neglected Wanyan Kang? She originally thought that Wanyan Kang wouldn¡¯t care about these. She didn¡¯t expect him to really care.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean it. I was only worried about miss. She¡¯s also pregnant now and has a really bad morning sickness. I was worried about miss¡¯s body...¡±
¡°Then what about me? Had you ever worried about me? I¡¯m not made of iron. I also need your concern...¡±
Wanyan Kang continued toin, making Su Mei at loss about what to do for a moment.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t know you will be so sad...How about, I care more about you in the future?¡±
Su Mei¡¯s answer made Wanyan Kang¡¯s eyes smirk. It was just, he didn¡¯t express it. Instead, his voice trembled more. ¡°Little Mei er, are you telling the truth?¡±
¡°Mm! Of course, I promise you!¡±
After hearing Su Mei promise, Wanyan Kang finally let out a sigh of relief and raised a face full of smiles. ¡°It seemed that little Mei er still cares about me!¡±
Seeing through that Wanyan Kang was teasing her, Su Mei red and was about to curse him when she saw the tender feelings in his eyes. She swallowed the words that were in her mouth. When Feng Qi Qi left, she told Su Mei about what had happened that day on the seven-level pagoda and also told Su Mei with meaningful and heartfelt words that she must be kind to Wanyan Kang. In fact, he didn¡¯t look as sunny as he appeared on the surface.
At this time, seeing Wanyan Kang like this, Su Mei reached out and gently helped him up.
¡°Actually, the person I care about the most in my heart is you!¡± Su Mei nestled in Wanyan Kang¡¯s arms like a small bird. Such gentleness made Wanyan Kang feel ¡®ttered¡¯. The thought about what Feng Qi Qi said about Su Mei¡¯s past and that she used hot-tempered to cover her fragile heart, Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart softened and held Su Mei in his arms. He put one hand on her five-month big belly that was beginning to stick out.
¡°The person I care the most in my heart is also only little Mei er...¡±
The two nestled against each other. The sun shone and pulled their shadows and made them very long.
¡°After you give birth to the child, I will take you to the Number one vige under Heavens to let you see cousin-inw, alright?¡±
¡°Not right...,¡± Su Mei shook her head. For the first time, she had the thought to apany this man. ¡°After giving birth, I still need to restore my health. Besides, miss said that the first three years, it¡¯s easy for the baby to get sick. Going back and forth is not good for the child. Moreover, the country had just stabilized. You have many things to do and also can¡¯t leave. The baby can¡¯t be without me and I, also can be without you...It¡¯s better to wait till the child is a bit older to go together!¡±
To Wanyan Kang, Su Mei¡¯s words were moving as never before. Su Mei had never said such loving words. She always had the appearance of a small pepper. Now, these words came from Su Mei¡¯s mouth made Wanyan Kang¡¯s heart suddenly be fully filled with happiness.
¡°Little Mei er, it¡¯s so good to have you!¡± Wanyan Kang kissed Su Mei¡¯s forehead. ¡°I love you!¡±
¡°Annoying, we¡¯re already old husband and wife. You still say such cheesy things!¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s romantic words made Su Mei blush. Being married for five years with Wanyan Kang, she had never said such loving words to him. Wanyan Kang had also never said them. The two just seem like a quarrelsome but loving couple. The whole way, there wasn¡¯t much sweet talk. What surrounded them seemed to be more ¡®opposing each other with equal harshness¡¯.
Now, Wanyan Kang said the words that Su Mei had been waiting for a long time in her heart. Her heart jumped madly, and her cheeks were also red.
¡°Little Mei er, you haven¡¯t said if you love me or not.¡± Wanyan Kang¡¯s face was slightly thicker than Su Mei¡¯s. He kept staring at Su Mei¡¯s pink neck. His mouth became a rogue. ¡°Tell me, ah. Do you love me or not?!¡±
Being tormented by Wanyan Kang, Su Mei had no choice and mumbled, ¡°If I didn¡¯t love you, why would I marry you?!¡±
Although the voice was small, but it was heard by Wanyan Kang. However, he didn¡¯t want to let Su Mei off like this. He continued to bother her. ¡°What did you say? I didn¡¯t hear. Can you talk a bit louder? My hearing is impaired!¡±
Even though knowing that Wanyan Kang was doing it on purpose, Su Mei stillughed. Then, she grabbed Wanyan Kang¡¯s ear and pulled him to her. ¡°I said I love you!¡±
Su Mei deliberately screamed loudly, making Wanyan Kang¡¯s ear shook and made ¡®weng¡¯ sounds. But, he was happy in his heart. ¡°I knew you loved me! Where would you find someone as handsome, highly intelligent, confident, easy-going, and monogamous as me?!¡±
For the first time Su Mei didn¡¯t argue with Wanyan Kang when he was blowing his own trumpet. Instead, she looked tenderly at his increasingly mature face and was very grateful of this marriage.
At Yongzhou, Chasing the wind cliff, Number one vige under Heavens.
¡°Ou...¡± Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t remember anymore how many times she had vomited today. Although, it was the third time that she would be a mother, but the morning sickness of this time was worst than the two previous times.
¡°Mother, drink some water!¡±
¡°Mother, wipe your mouth!¡±
Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin stood beside Feng Qi Qi and looked smilingly at Feng Qi Qi. When the little brats saw their mother being in so much pain, one gave her a teacup and the other handed her handkerchief. After seeing this, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie who were at a side nodded repeatedly.
After Feng Xiao, Feng Qi Qi gave birth to this pair of twins...Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin. The two brats looked exactly the same. The only differences were the second eldest Long Yin Qi had a red like blood mole between his eyebrows and that third eldest Long Yin Lin¡¯s eyes were purple. If it wasn¡¯t because of such obvious differences, others wouldn¡¯t be able to tell them apart.
However, the favorite game of this twin brothers was ¡®Guess who I am¡¯. They were quick-witted and weird. They often hid their characteristics to let other people guess. Aside from Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang, even Dongfang Lan, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie couldn¡¯t differentiate who was who. Not to mention other people. They were often cheated.
At this time, seeing that the two sons changed their usual mischievousness and showed her so much care, Feng Qi Qi reached out and touched the bun like cheeks of the two. ¡°Mother is fine. This is mother¡¯s normal reaction.¡±
¡°Mother, is it so hard being pregnant? Then, when mother gave birth to us and big brother, mothers must¡¯ve suffered a lot!¡± Long Yin Qi put his small hand on the belly of Feng Qi Qi that didn¡¯t look pregnant yet. ¡°Mother suffered so much. In the future, we must be filial to mother! And not let anyone bully mother!¡±
¡°Right! I also will give the best food to mother and protect mother!¡± Long Yin Lin clenched his fist as if, if someone was bullying Feng Qi Qi, he would definitely wave out a fist.
¡°Good boys!¡±
The children being so understanding, even though Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t feel well, but her mood was very good.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qiughed, Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin pped. ¡°Motherughed! Mother is the most beautiful when youugh!¡±
The moment Feng Cang walked in, he saw such a heart-warming scene. When Long Yin Lin turned, he saw Feng Cang. He immediately rushed over. ¡°Daddy, you¡¯ve returned! Where¡¯s the good thing you brought me?¡±
In just a moment, Long Yin Lin climbed into Feng Cang¡¯s arms. Long Yin Qi also didn¡¯t want to be outdone and also climbed into Feng Cang¡¯s arms. His small hands also probed in his (FC) clothes. ¡°Right, ah. Daddy, we took care of mother. Where¡¯s the gift you promised us?¡±
Not waiting for Feng Cang to speak, Long Yin Qi already found a dagger in Feng Cang¡¯s clothes. Long Yin Lin also found the little sword he wanted.
¡°Thank you, daddy! Daddy is as best as mother!¡± After getting the gift, the two no longer stuck like that on Feng Cang. Instead, they climbed down, rushed to Feng Qi Qi and showed her the gifts in their hands. ¡°Mother, look. Do I look awesome?¡± ¡°Mother, am I very handsome?¡±
The two little handsome boys disyed their treasures in front of Feng Qi Qi. This let the difort of Feng Qi Qi reduce a lot.
¡°Our family¡¯s babies are the best and the handsomest!¡±
With Feng Qi Qi¡¯s praise, the two brothers felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey. ¡°This time we must defeat big brother when he returns!¡± Long Yin Qi held his own dagger and said to Long Yin Lin, ¡°We must not let big brother get first ce again!¡±
1. Er: term of endearment
Chapter 207 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (6)
Chapter 207 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (6)
¡°Right! This time we team up. We must beat big brother!¡±
Feng Xiao who the two were talking about went to Nan Feng¡¯s White Bird mountain when he was two years old. Originally, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi wanted to let Feng Xiao grow up and choose his own road. They didn¡¯t expect that since small, Feng Xiao showed love towards gu. Plus, the fact that the five elders of Qiang tribe personally came to Bei Zhou to lure Feng Xiao. Under the temptation of the five elders, Feng Xiao ¡®betrayed¡¯ Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi without any backbone and went to Qiang tribe to learn the study of the gu. The moment he went away, he was gone for two years.
Last time, when Feng Xiao returned, Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin fought with this big brother. The result was that Feng Xiao won. The two little brothers refused to ept this oue. They decided to team up and defeat this big brother next time. That was why they begged Feng Cang to find them weapons. So, they can begin to train quickly.
Feng Cang wasn¡¯t against the littlepetition between brothers. Instead, he supported them topete with each other. So, Feng Cang went out and brought them ¡®weapons¡¯ which made the two brothers very happy.
¡°Mother, daddy, we will go!¡± They didn¡¯t continue to act cute. Instead they gave Feng Qi Qi two kisses and then ran away. They didn¡¯t want to lose so miserably again the next time big brother returned. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t let Feng Xiao be in the front of them, lest to let big brotherugh at them and say that they are little children.
¡°Take it slower!¡± Feng Qi Qi hasn¡¯t reminded them much, when the two had already ran away.
¡°Qing Qing!¡± Feng Cang reached out and took Feng Qi Qi into his embrace. He put his big hand on her belly. ¡°Do you feel better today?¡±
When Dongfang Lan who was at a side saw the young couple being like this, she immediately made a gesture to her daughter and son-inw. The three retreated quietly. Seeing her grandmother and parents being like this, Feng Qi Qi blushed and nestled in Feng Cang¡¯s arms.
¡°Still the same and always want to vomit. I can¡¯t eat anything.¡±
Looking at Feng Qi Qi¡¯s bright like jade face, Feng Cang gently kissed her forehead. ¡°I brought the sour plums you love to eat! When you want to vomit, eat some!¡±
¡°Mm!¡± Feng Qi Qi nodded. She nestled like azy cat in Feng Cang¡¯s arms. ¡°Before when I gave birth to those three brats, I didn¡¯t feel so ufortable. This child is more mischievous than his three big brothers!¡±
¡°Haha...¡± The moment he thought that Feng Qi Qi gave him three treasures, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes would be infinitely gentle. In five years, they got three children. Their feelings also got sweeter. As early as when Wanyan Kang ascended the throne, Feng Cang had wanted to leave. However, there were many things that needed to be done in Bei Zhou. The two stayed in the capital to help Wanyan Kang. That help turned into five years of helping.
It wasn¡¯t easy to get away ande to the Number one vige under Heavens. They could begin their happy and simple life now.
¡°I hope that this time it¡¯s a daughter!¡± Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi¡¯s small hand. For so many years, this hand had continued to hold his hand and apanied him through these years. Now, the soft body was still soft, smooth and fair. And, it couldn¡¯t be seen that Feng Qi Qi was a mother of three. She still looked young and beautiful.
¡°You, ah. You are really bing crazy from wanting a daughter!¡± Feng Qi Qi joked.
Others were hoping to have more sons to pass down the line. Feng Cang on the other hand, always wanted to have a daughter like Feng Qi Qi. These three sons were too mischievous. Feng Cang wished for a little sister to let the three brothers neutralize this family full of masculinity.
¡°Is it not?!¡± Feng Cang¡¯s fingers entangled with Feng Qi Qi¡¯s little hand. ¡°Even in my dreams I want you to give birth to a daughter! Then, the men of our family would protect you two! How great would that be?!¡±
When Feng Qi Qi was pregnant with the second child and was diagnosed with twins, Feng Cang truly hoped for a pair of daughters or a son and a daughter. He didn¡¯t expect that it would be two sons. Although, he liked both sons and daughter, but the rarer the greater the value. In this family with many sons, Feng Cang wished very much that Feng Qi Qi could give birth to a pretty and lovable daughter.
Feng Cang didn¡¯t have any daughters. It happened that Nn Xin and Su Yue¡¯s child Nn Zhu was a girl. So, every time when Feng Cang saw Nn Zhu, he would be very envious. He wished that he could steal her from Nn Xin and raise her himself.
Feng Qi Qi knew that Feng Cang wanted a daughter. She couldn¡¯t help but put her small hand on Feng Cang¡¯s big hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! This time it definitely would be a daughter! There was no morning sickness the previous two times. That resulted in sons being born. This time the morning sickness is so great, naturally I am pregnant with a daughter!¡±
Feng Qi Qi said so, Feng Cang¡¯s eyes were full of expectations. ¡°If it¡¯s a daughter, it would be so great! Even Jin Mo had a daughter. Our daughter can¡¯t be bad!¡±
Hearing the sourness in Feng Cang¡¯s words, Feng Qi Qiughed so much. Five years ago, Jin Mo helped with Gu Yun Wan¡¯s treatment and stayed at Qiang tribe. He didn¡¯t expect that he would stay for half year. When Gu Yun Wan recuperated, the two developed feelings after being together for day and night. Finally, they married at Qiang tribe. For his beloved wife, Jin Mo also stayed at Qiang tribe.
Two years ago, Gu Yun Wan gave birth to a daughter who was named Jin Ai Wan (Jin loves Wan). At that time, that name surprised Feng Cang for a long time. It was said that Jin Mo was unromantic and always unted that he wanted to be independent. After marriage, he actually opened up and even the name he gave his daughter was so sweet.
What made Feng Cang even more ¡®jealous¡¯ was that Jin Mo actually had a daughter.
One after another, the people around him gave birth to daughters. He, himself had three ¡®little brats¡¯. How could Feng Cang not be envious? So, this time when Feng Qi Qi got pregnant, Feng Cang prayed more than once for it to be a daughter
Feng Qi Qi understood Feng Cang¡¯s mind. But, she couldn¡¯t choose to give birth to a boy or a girl! However, the pregnancy of this time was different from the previous ones. Feng Qi Qi also wished to give birth to a daughter. By then, three big brothers could take care of their little sister. How great is that?!
After a long wait, it was finally the day for Feng Qi Qi to give birth.
Feng Xiao rushed back from Nan Feng. He was now already six years old. Although, every year, Feng Xiao could only go home once and could only stay for a short time with his parents, but his feelings towards Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang was particrly deep.
When he was born, Feng Xiao would reject Feng Cang. When he learned the study of the gu and was able to control the child gu inside his body, such a problem no longer existed. Feng Xiao worshipped the daddy who had the reputation of war-god very much.
At this time, Feng Qi Qi was so full of sweat and in so much pain inside the room. Feng Cang waited outside with the three little boys. Ming Yue Cheng was also here. After six years, Ming Yue Cheng was still confident, at ease and handsome. His appearance didn¡¯t change. This time, when Feng Qi Qi gave birth, he specially brought Feng Xiao to the Number one vige under Heavens.
¡°Daddy, why is little sister still noting out?¡± Long Yin Lin was like a little adult with his hands on his back and tiptoed to look inside the room.
¡°Right, ah. Daddy, when will little sistere out?¡± Long Yin Qi was also very anxious. The twin brothers had the same expression. Feng Xiao, the big brother kept biting his mouth and looked at the room without saying anything.
¡°Good boys, wait for a bit more!¡±
Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s big hand rubbed Long Yin Qi¡¯s and Long Yin Lin¡¯s head. These are her children. He also likes them very much. Ming Yue Cheng liked everything rted to Feng Qi Qi. Not to mention, he could see her shadow from these children¡¯s faces.
Although, it wasn¡¯t the first time that Feng Qi Qi gave birth, but Ming Yue Cheng still let go of the government affairs and apanied Feng Xiao to here. Like when Feng Qi Qi gave birth to Feng Xiao and when she gave birth to Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin, Ming Yue Cheng also waited outside.
Even if he wasn¡¯t the one at her side, he wished that he could wait outside at such dangerous moments. Only when he heard ¡®the mother and child are safe¡¯ would he be at ease.
Hearing Ming Yue Cheng¡¯sfort, the twin brothers quieted down. The two¡¯s pearly white teeth bit their red lips. The two¡¯s eyes were anxious, but they didn¡¯t make any more noise.
Already having given birth two times and the second time were twins, it didn¡¯t take Feng Qi Qi a long time this time to gave birth to the child.
¡°Congrattions, congrattions, it¡¯s a daughter!¡±
When the midwife passed these words to the outside, Feng Cang was so happy that he became a fool. ¡°I have a daughter?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! Congrattions, regent. It¡¯s a beautiful little junzhu1!¡±
¡°So great! I have a daughter!¡± Regardless of those, Feng Cang rushed to Feng Qi Qi¡¯s side. ¡°Qing Qing, you¡¯ve worked hard! We have a daughter!¡±
After the birth of the child, Feng Qi Qi had long known that it was a daughter. The wish in her heart was alsopleted. At this time, seeing Feng Cang happy like a child, Feng Qi Qi smiled tiredly. ¡°Now you¡¯re happy!¡±
¡°In the future, the four of us would protect the two of you well! We will definitely not let you suffer any grievances! Thank you, Qing Qing! Thank you for giving birth to my children!¡±
When Feng Cang held the wrapped little daughter in front of Feng Qi Qi, the little daughter was spitting bubbles.
¡°Feng Cang, give the child a name!¡± Having sons and daughter and apanied by the person she loves, Feng Qi Qi felt that she was very blessed.
¡°Ah Kang¡¯s twin son and daughter is called Wanyan Che and Wanyan Chen Xi, let¡¯s name our daughter Feng Huang, alright?¡±
Che(³º): thoroughly
Chen Xi (³¿êØ): the first rays of the morning sun /first glimmer of dawn
Feng Huang (·ï»Ë): phoenix
1. Junzhu: daugther of the first-rank prince
Chapter 208 Love is in sky of affection (7)
Chapter 208 Love is in sky of affection (7)
Seeing that Feng Cang gave such a domineering name to their little daughter, Feng Qi Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. This man, ah! Four children; one was called formidable (Xiao xiong), that pair was Chinese unicorn (qilin) and this baby is phoenix (fenghuang). He really wanted to tell the world that the babies of their family were the best.
¡°Alright! Then let¡¯s call her Long Er as her nickname, what do you say?¡± Feng Qi Qi named that name with a deep meaning. Feng Xiao got her surname. The twins got Feng Cang¡¯s surname. This time, Feng Cang let the surname of the daughter he looked forward to so much be Feng again. Feng Qi Qi simply made Feng Huang¡¯s nickname rted to Long. Now, her names had dragon (long) and phoenix (feng), so great.
How could Feng Cang not know Feng Qi Qi¡¯s inner thoughts? Feng Huang, Long Er, both their surnames were included. This just conformed that the child was the fruit of their love.
The two didn¡¯t had time to talk more. Three small heads had already appeared in front of them. ¡°Daddy, let me look at little sister!¡± ¡°I also want to look!¡± Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin reached out to the newly born Feng Huang. They didn¡¯t expect that they hadn¡¯t touched Feng Huang yet, when they were interrupted by Feng Xiao...
¡°Little sister is still small. When she¡¯s a bigger, you can hold her!¡±
Feng Xiao was a year and two months older than the twins. Although, after Feng Xiao went to Qiang tribe, the three brothers didn¡¯t see each other much, but Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin still listened to this big brother.
¡°Then, can we take a look? I want to know if little sister looks like me!¡± Long Yin Lin exerted all his strength to extend his head.
Feng Cang generously satisfied this requirement of the child. He held little Feng Huang in front of his three sons. Three small heads immediately surrounded little Feng Huang.
¡°Little sister, little sister...¡±
Looking at the pinkish little baby, Feng Xiao no longer pretended to be an adult. Instead, he stared at Feng Huang with his purple eyes. ¡°Little sister looks like me!¡±
¡°Hahaha! Big brother, third little brother, little sister has ck eyes. She looks like me!¡±
When he saw that Feng Huang had a pair of ck eyes, Long Yin Qi shouted smugly, ¡°Big brother and third little brother have purple eyes. Little sister has ck eyes like me! Little sister looks like me!¡±
Long Yin Qi¡¯s words made Feng Xiao and Long Yin Lin unconvinced. However, after seeing Feng Huang¡¯s eyes, the two little brats were envious of Long Yin Qi¡¯s ck eyes. If they also had a pair of ck eyes, how great would that be?! Then, they would also be like little sister!
After all, Feng Xiao was the big brother. He didn¡¯t lose confidence because of Long Yin Qi¡¯s blow. After carefully observing Feng Huang, Feng Xiao also shouted, ¡°Little sister¡¯s nose is like mine! It¡¯s a high nose!¡±
With Feng Xiao¡¯s shout, Long Yin Lin also screamed, ¡°Little sister¡¯s mouth and eyebrows are like mine! You two only have one thing that is the same as little sister¡¯s. Only I have two things that are the same as little sister¡¯s!¡±
After saying that, Long Yin Lin proudly crossed his arms and looked at the big brother and second big brother who were showing off just now as if he was saying, see, you lost now!
The three babies argued noisily because of Feng Huang¡¯s appearance. Feng Cang made a ¡®be silent¡¯ gesture towards them. When they looked, Feng Qi Qi already fell asleep with a smile. Giving birth was really too tiring. She was very tired. At this time, she leaned on Feng Cang¡¯s arms with her eyes closed and slept.
Seeing that Feng Qi Qi fell asleep, the three brothers copied Feng Cang and did a ¡®be silent¡¯ gesture.
¡°Let¡¯s go out! When mother is better, we wille again!¡± Feng Xiao was the big brother and ordered his two little brothers. If it was usually, Long Yin Qi and Long Yin Lin would certainly rebut in unison. However, this time, the three brothers rarely found amon ground. They walked quietly on tiptoe, fearing to wake Feng Qi Qi up.
Seeing the departure of the three small figures and looking at the big and small people in his arms, Feng Cang smiled and kissed Feng Qi Qi¡¯s forehead. ¡°Thank you, I love you...¡±
Thank you for giving me a warm home. Thank you for giving me four lively and lovely children. Thank you for being at my side, loving me, encouraging me and supporting me. Thank you...for your everything!
Fifteen yearster.
Because of the arrival the regent¡¯s family, the pce of Bei Zhou was very lively.
¡°Oh my god! He¡¯s so handsome!¡± The pce maids grouped in three and five and looked at the man in purple who came from afar. The man was only about eighteen to neen years old, but he had an aura of a fairy. He had ck hair like ink and a pair of calm purple eyes that separated him from the world. Plus, his purple clothes and a very handsome face made the onlookers scream continuously.
If it wasn¡¯t because here was the imperial garden, everyone would think that they arrived in the fairnd and encountered an immortal.
¡°Is he Long Yin Qi or Long Yin Lin? I heard that they were twins and that they couldn¡¯t be told apart!¡±
¡°It should be third young master Long Yin Lin! It was said that third young master was a god-like person and don¡¯t eat the food ofmon mortals. And, he had a pair of purple eyes that enticed the human realm. He must be third young master! Moreover, second young master was already engaged. Jin Ai Wan was the bride princess Zhen Guo personally selected for second young master. The two were childhood sweethearts and inseparable. He doesn¡¯t have any woman around him. He must be third young master!¡±
Not eating the food ofmon mortals: cing oneself above the others
¡°Wow...third young master is really too handsome. Even crown prince isn¡¯t as handsome as third young master!¡±
A group of love-struck fools...could it be that you don¡¯t know that this young master had been raised in medicine and have a good hearing. You are so eagerly promoting this young master handsomeness; do you think that this young master wouldn¡¯t hear? Long Yin Lin thought, but his expression remained the same.
He didn¡¯t want to be tied up by one woman like big brother and second big brother. And then, be hot-headed because of the wife and children. Their life was finished like that. He wanted to pursue freedom and didn¡¯t want the nuisance love. What meaning did to bill and coo and be affectionate to each other have? If you have the time, it would be better to make some poisons and mess with people. He hasn¡¯t yed enough yet!
To bill and coo: to whisper sweet nothings to one another
Besides women like eldest and second sister-inw were extremely rare. Looking at big brother and second big brother get along with them was as if he saw Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. Other women only saw his appearance and his noble identity. If he was a poor boy, what kind of faces would these women show?!
Because he felt bored, Long Yin Lin came for a walk in the imperial garden. He didn¡¯t expect that because of this face, no matter where he went, he would be the focus of attention. If it wasn¡¯t because it was his uncle¡¯s birthday, he wouldn¡¯t want toe to this women¡¯s heap.
Just when he wanted to leave, Long Yin Lin suddenly heard a song.
The juvenile ambition is always higher than the sky
With magnificent aspirations, heroic feelings and unafraid of the storms
The spring flowers and the autumn fruits never get old
The years were written off by one brush
Leaving only the sound of the zither floating in the sky
The autumn moon hung on the sky and the maple leaf shook
The morning of the spring was divided by twilight and dawn
The years continued to grind and disappear
Who can understand?
Hasn¡¯t ever been a frivolous madman then it was a vain of being a juvenile
The bustling world of mortals always made me free and unfettered
Toasting, being drunk from watching the moon and seeing the beautyugh
Today I have a gentleman aspany
How beautiful is the night?
Let¡¯s sing a folksong together
Hearing the lyrics, Long Yin Lin¡¯s mouth went up. This smile was exactly the same as Feng Cang¡¯s. He seemed to have found something interesting. He followed the song and found it.
He saw peach blossoms blooming gorgeously. Inside peach blossom forest was a swing. A slender figure sat there, and the song came from her mouth.
When Long Yin Lin approached, Wanyan Chen Xi had already seen him. She didn¡¯t need to guess, just from his looks, she knew that this handsome boy was uncle Feng Cang¡¯s son Long Yin Lin.
The world said that Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s children were outstanding. When she saw Long Yin Lin, there was a touch of surprise in the eyes of Wanyan Chen Xi.
They hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time. This boy actually changed so much.
Cold and cheerless, proud and aloof. That pair of untamed purple eyes, at this moment revealed some meaning of exploration. If it wasn¡¯t because she experienced two life times, Wanyan Chen Xi would certainly be attracted by Long Yin Lin. But, after all she was someone who time-travelled. This handsome young man was handsome, but her psychological age was much more mature than him.
Wanyan Chen Xi didn¡¯t stop because of the appearance of Long Yin Lin. She still swayed the swing and continued to sing this song . After being time-travelled to here, she had a pair of parents that loved her very much. She also had the identity of the imperial princess. Wanyan Chen Xi was very content. Such a life like a rice worm was what she yearned for the most in her previous life.
She had been very busy in her past life to be a good professional broker. She dedicated her youth. Now, she was reborn. She wouldn¡¯t be the same as before. She wanted to enjoy the present and be azy worm who sunbathed in the sun during the day and bathed in moon during the night.
Seeing that the girl didn¡¯t pay much attention to him, Long Yin Lin got interested. Ever since young to now, no matter where he went, he would see love-struck fools. Now, a girl actually appeared who wasn¡¯t attracted by his looks. To Long Yin Lin, this was like a fun toy had appeared that made him interested.
However, a fallen immortal should have the look of a fallen immortal. Even if that look was to tempt the world, he didn¡¯t mind disguising himself in front of strangers.
He didn¡¯t disturb Wanyan Chen Xi¡¯s song. He sat at a side and listened to her beautiful singing.
If it was any ordinary girl, she would definitely blush because of Long Yin Lin¡¯s action. However, who was Wanyan Chen Xi? Her age of her previous life plus the age of this life was more than twice the age of Long Yin Lin. Not to mention that she and Long Yin Lin had some ¡®grudges¡¯. She wouldn¡¯t be touched by such a small tricky move.
Two people, one was singing the other was listening. With theyers of peach blossom, it was also a beautiful picture. Only when a group of people came from afar did the singing stop.
¡°Father, mother!¡± Seeing Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, Long Yin Lin changed from his coldness of just now and smilingly walked over. He didn¡¯t know that this smile of him was capable of causing the downfall of a city. Even if Wanyan Chen Xi wanted to control her little heart, she also couldn¡¯t help but be a bit touched by his peerless handsomeness.
¡°Imperial father, imperial mother!¡± Wanyan Chen Xi left the swing and bowed to Wanyan Kang and Su Mei.
¡°Xi er1, where you with Lin er just now?¡± Seeing her daughter like this, Wanyan Kang was a bit surprised. ¡°I thought that you would fight the moment you meet!¡±
Xi er? Hearing this name, the bells in Long Yin Lin¡¯s heart rung. When he looked at her appearance, it ovepped with the little girl in his memory. ¡°It¡¯s you? You are Wanyan Chen Xi? You are the little devil?¡±
Long Yin Lin pointed at Wanyan Chen Xi. His fingers trembled a bit. When he confirmed her identity, the unhappy memories in Long Yin Lin¡¯s head came to his heart. The girl in yellow dress with a sweet smile in front of him was the little devil who set fire and burned down his alchemy room? Long Yin Lin couldn¡¯t imagine it.
¡°Long Yin Lin, it couldn¡¯t be that you just recognized me, right?! A pig¡¯s head is really a pig¡¯s head, ah. The intelligence can never keep up with humans!¡± Looking at Long Yin Lin¡¯splete opposite image of the one from just now, Wanyan Chen Xi helplessly shrugged her shoulders. Her small hand was on Feng Qi Qi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Really don¡¯t know how godfather Feng Cang who is handsome and outstanding and godmother Qi Qi who is clever and intelligent would give birth to such an idiot like you!¡±
Pigs are considered stupid in China.
¡°Wanyan Chen Xi!¡±
A pair of quarrelsome but loving couple was born like this.

Epilogue
I¡¯m the most insignificant and unremarkable servant of Nan Feng. I entered the pce at the age of eleven. I¡¯ve already lived in this pce for sixty years.
When I said this, you should know my age. I¡¯m already seventy-one years old. No one was older than me among the servants of the pce. Those who entered the pce with me had already became earth and dust. Only I was left and was still living in this world to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and the rise and fall of the tide. And also continue to live with this dynasty.
When the people of the pce saw me, they would respectfully call me eunuch Fu. Even when the head of the eunuch of the emperor saw me, he would need to give me some face. From their eyes, I saw respect and fear. Thete emperor said that this was something I deserved. So, I enjoyed all of these as it should by the rights.
I liked to bask in the sun. Every day I would go to the yard and sat on the rocking chair while enjoying the warmth of the sun. Only when seeing the sun rise from the east, I can be sure that I have lived another day.
Thete emperor abdicated. I originally wanted to follow thete emperor, but the emperor said I¡¯m old and let me enjoy a life in retirement inside the pce. I knew that thete emperor did it for my own good. Staying at thete emperor¡¯s side for so many years, I can tell the truth and lies from thete emperor¡¯s words and bodynguage.
However, although knowing that thete emperor really did it for my own good, I still felt sad. Because, I¡¯m old and couldn¡¯t serve thete emperor anymore. Looking at him leave with little master Feng Huang, I felt emptiness in my heart. The little prince who I apanied for so many years had grown up and would never need me anymore.
Fortunately, the new emperor was very good to me. Every time when he saw me, he wouldn¡¯t let me kneel. Instead, he repeatedly called me eunuch Fu, making me unable to bear this blessing.
Every time when I saw the new emperor, I would be absentminded for a moment. That pair of purple eyes of the new emperor let me think about many, many things of the past.
Speaking of it, I also saw the new emperor grow up. When thete emperor brought this child to the pce, I knew thete emperor¡¯s decision. In the whole life of thete emperor, he had only loved three women.
The first one naturally was empress Jingde. She was the birth mother of thete emperor. Her name was Miao Chu Yun. She was a beautiful, gentle and pitiful woman.
The second one was the woman in the north. I¡¯m only a servant and couldn¡¯t be presumptuous to guess thete emperor¡¯s mind. However, I knew that thete emperor¡¯s heart would contain that woman called Feng Qi Qi for his whole life even till death. Unfortunately, in this world, there wasn¡¯t always a reward for hard work and it wasn¡¯t that I love you, you would also love me. Thete emperor inherited empress Jingde¡¯s infatuation with love. In the end, he guarded that woman for so many years.
Until...the appearance of the third woman.
Although, in the eyes of many people, I¡¯m a rare case. Aside from the title of eunuch Fu, I don¡¯t have any other characteristics. However, they had forgotten that in such a cold and heartless pce, I was able to live here for sixty years was already enough to exin my ability.
For example, I understand the preferences of the masters. I knew what I should say and what I shouldn¡¯t say. For example, I have a very good memory. I can remember many things and many scenes.
Just like, when I think back about the past, when I saw that master for the first time, that scene would immediately jump in my mind and couldn¡¯t go even if I wanted it to go.
Thete emperor wasn¡¯t tempted by women¡¯s charms. This was a well-known fact through whole Nan Feng. Everyone was envious and jealous of Gu Yun Yao. She was the only woman at thete emperor¡¯s side. Thete emperor abolished the harem that hadsted for hundreds of years for her. He expressed that there would be no consorts in the six pces and that at his side there would only be this woman.
The world said that thete emperor was love-struck man. Everyone didn¡¯t understand why he didn¡¯t give her the status of empress since he was infatuated with her and why he only let her stay at his side as a consort.
There had been multiple discussion about this matter among the people. In the end, everyone agreed that thete emperor was being like this because he didn¡¯t want to ruin the rtionship between him and Gu Yun Yao. If she was made the empress, a rtionship without love the emperor and empress would only be bound by interests. Thete emperor wasn¡¯t willing lost the woman he loved. So, he never allowed her to sit on that position that overlooked all the living beings.
When I told this to thete emperor, thete emperor didn¡¯t say anything. His expression remained the same. It was just, I knew that in thete emperor¡¯s heart, he left that ce for a dream that he longed for but couldn¡¯t reach. Inside thete emperor¡¯s heart, only that woman was qualified to sit on that position. That woman was the forever pain in thete emperor¡¯s heart.
Speaking of that woman, I had to talk about the two most legendary characters on the maind...Lian gongzi and Guanghua gongzi.
These two people, one had high medical skills, the other very wealthy. However, only a handful people knew that these two people were the same person. It was the woman I just talked about...Feng Qi Qi.
She was a woman who possessed myriad of favors. Under the heavens, there was no one more noble and beautiful than her.
However, the nobleness and beauty didn¡¯t let this woman be prideful. On the contrary, she was kind and friendly, making people feel close to her and didn¡¯t dare to spheme her beauty.
The most important woman in thete emperor¡¯s heart was her. From when thete emperor encountered her when he was twenty to the next twenty years, she had been the cinnabar mole of thete emperor¡¯s chest that couldn¡¯t be touched because the moment it was touched, it would hurt.
I once hoped that thete emperor could battle bravely for the beauty and write an announcement of war to that proud man. Thete emperor had also thought about this. However, when he saw that woman cuddle gently with that man and smile like he had never seen before, thete emperor knew that he was a step toote.
Once, when thete emperor was drunk, he said to me, ¡°One misstep, every following step would also be misstep.¡± Seeing thete emperor like that, my heart ached for him. He was the most magnanimous man I¡¯ve ever seen. He didn¡¯t hide his love for Feng Qi Qi and also told Feng Cang if he (FC) did her any wrong, he (MYC) would take her away and take good care of her.
It was just, Feng Cang didn¡¯t give thete emperor such an opportunity. They were lovey-dovey and had many children. And, thete emperor could only wait outside every time that woman gave birth and leave when he heard that the mother and child were safe.
Many times, I felt injustice for thete emperor. Ever since empress Jingde passed away and thete emperor was sent to Xi Qi as hostage, I had always been by thete emperor¡¯s side. I looked at how he grew up, how he matured, how he learned to cover his heart and how he learned to scheme and calcte. I took care of thete emperor like he was my own child. I didn¡¯t expect that the heart of the child I cared for would one day be hurt.
It was reasonable to say that I should take revenge for thete emperor and help him recapture that woman, but I couldn¡¯t do it.
It was because I understand thete emperor too well. I knew that the position of Feng Qi Qi in thete emperor¡¯s heart was non-substitutable. If I let her cry, thete emperor would kill me without care about our rtionship of so many years. I¡¯m not afraid of the death. I was afraid that if I¡¯m death, no one would take care of thete emperor as dedicated as me.
Moreover, I wished for thete emperor to be happy. To thete emperor, if that woman was happy, he would be happy. If I ruined that woman¡¯s happiness, she would be sad. Thete emperor would be even sadder. I didn¡¯t want thete emperor to be sad. He had met with many difficulties in his life and was already unfortunate enough. I couldn¡¯t deprive him of the little happiness left in his heart.
So, I stood behind thete emperor and watched him be delighted, happy, sad and sorrowful for that woman, but I was powerless and couldn¡¯t do anything for thete emperor.
You see, I¡¯m already old. When I reminisced, I would have many emotions and had forgotten to talk about the main thing.
What I talked about, the third woman among the three women that thete emperor cared the most about was rted to that woman. Her name is Feng Huang. She is Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s daughter.
When Feng Huang was born, thete emperor was already twenty-six. That time, I was sick. Thete emperor empathized with me and let me stay at the pce. He took the new emperor to the Number one vige under Heavens; that is, the ce where Feng Qi Qi was.
That time, when thete emperor came back, I saw a kind of light from thete emperor¡¯s body. It was something I¡¯ve never seen before.
¡°Fu Er, she had given birth to a daughter. The mother and daughter are safe.¡±
From thete emperor¡¯s voice I could hear his happiness. That afternoon, thete emperor told me a lot about this newly born little girl. I heard that she had a pair of ck eyes and was as nimble as Feng Qi Qi. I heard that she liked thete emperor very much. She yed for a long time in thete emperor¡¯s arms. I heard that when thete emperor left, little Feng Huang cried miserably, making thete emperor¡¯s heart almost stop beating.
¡°Fu Er, she is closer to me than she is to Feng Cang. I finally turned the tables.¡±
When thete emperor said this, his words were full of childishness. It seemed that this was the first time that thete emperor was so proud and ted ever since Feng Cang upied Feng Qi Qi¡¯s heart. Little Feng Huang liked this uncle more than her father. When thete emperor described Feng Cang¡¯s ugly face to me, heughed twice loudly. That was the heartyugh I haven¡¯t heard in a long time. At that time, I put the name ¡®Feng Huang¡¯ in my heart.
Speaking of it, Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, this couple was really too domineering. It seemed that there wasn¡¯t a more noble couple than them in this world. So, when they named their children, they were also domineering.
The eldest son, also the new emperor Feng Xiao was like his name. The new emperor is the chief of the Qiang tribe and his skills at the gu was unparalleled. When his mouth went up, he would give a lofty quality of overlooking themon people, making him (Fu Er) couldn¡¯t help but sigh that this name was very well given to him.
Second son Long Yin Qi and third son Long Yin Lin,bined are called the ancient Chinese animal ¡®qilin¡¯. The two brothers are twins. Their looks couldn¡¯t be distinguished. The only differences were the cinnabar mole and the deep purple eyes. There were only very few people under the heavens that haven¡¯t heard of these two names. The two were dragons among people and matched with the name qilin.
As for little master Feng Huang, I don¡¯t have to say, you can see that this name was domineering. Feng Huang, Feng Huang, only this couple woulde up with such a mad name. Fortunately, Feng Huang had a uniquely nickname...Long Er. Although, this name was also very domineering, butpared to Feng Huang, it was a lot more reserved.
When little master Feng Huang was born, consort Jin had already passed away. Thete emperor never took any more consorts. The harem remained empty. Although, the officials remonstrated even though they could face death, but thete emperor turned a blind eye and ignored those voices. Everyone said that the emperor of Nan Feng was love-struck, and no one could bepared to him. How could they know that the dead woman had changed her name and surname and had gone far away with her lover?
This was thete emperor¡¯s promise to Gu Yun Yao. Marrying her was also a diversionary tactic to confuse the people. Consort Jin was also like her title. She strictly abode to the agreement with the emperor until when she met the one she loves.
I originally thought that after some years of getting along together, thete emperor would be somewhat unwilling to let her go. After all, whether it was inside or outside the pce, consort Jin was his only woman. However, when Gu Yun Yao said that she wanted to leave, thete emperor didn¡¯t show any other expression or nostalgia. With a stroke of a brush, he gave her happiness.
I always thought that thete emperor was a gentle person. Although, on the process of reforming the country, he was bold and decisive and didn¡¯t show the slightest amount of leniency, but in his heart, he still kept the pureness of empress Jingde. That was why he was able to let go when he met the woman he loved and would give the woman at his side happiness when she left.
The first time when little master Feng Huang came to the pce was when she was seven years old.
At that time, thete emperor was already over thirty. Because he didn¡¯t take in consorts and the officials were worried about the issue of the heirs, thete emperor made the new emperor the crown prince. After talking so much, I still didn¡¯t introduce the new emperor¡¯s name. His name is Feng Xiao. He¡¯s Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang¡¯s eldest son.
When the court saw that the emperor wanted to make someone irrelevant the crown prince and that Nan Feng would fell into the hands of others, they all presented memorials of objection to the emperor. This matter was also used by people with ulterior motives. A small wave appeared in the country.
Towards those faint and probing power, thete emperor swept over them like thunder. The officials also shut their mouth because of those blood. Thete emperor had been gentle for too long. They had all forgotten what kind of person thete emperor was.
From then on, no one questioned the decision of thete emperor. Feng Xiao steadily became the crown prince.
Thete emperor didn¡¯t seek Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi¡¯s opinion on this matter. Instead, he directly asked Feng Xiao what he thought about it. That child, no, the new emperor only returned one sentence at that time, ¡°It seemed that it would be fin!¡± Thete emperor knew then that he (FX) agreed.
After Feng Xiao became the crown prince, Feng Huang came to Nan Feng to see her big brother.
At that time, I saw little master Feng Huang for the first time. When she, dressed in white, runughingly over to here, I obviously felt that thete emperor¡¯s body trembled slightly.
Little master waspletely a miniature version of that woman. Whether it was augh, a scowl, anger or displeasure, it was the appearance of that woman. It was indeed...her flesh and blood!
When I saw little master Feng Huang, I looked at thete emperor with some worries. From his eyes, I saw astonishment. Aside from astonishment I didn¡¯t saw any other emotion. At that time, I let out a sigh of relief. I was worried that thete emperor would transfer his love from Feng Qi Qi to little master Feng Huang who looked the same as her. However, it seemed that I thought too much. Thete emperor wasn¡¯t like that.
Chapter 209 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (8)
Chapter 209 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (8)
Thete emperor raised little master Feng Huang like his daughter and spoiled her to the heavens.
I had never seen thete emperor pamper and indulge a person so much. He held little master Feng Huang in his arms, allowing her to see a farther scenery in a higher position. He stripped the lychee and fed it into little master Feng Huang¡¯s red lips.
Because little master Feng Huang liked white, he ordered people to weave silk that was softer than the clouds to make new clothes for little master Feng Huang.
In short, the emperor put all his indulgence on little master Feng Huang. He even wanted to make little master Feng Huang a princess, but was rejected by little master Feng Huang. At that time, little master Feng Huang said one sentence. Thete emperor didn¡¯t pay attention, but I listened to it with my heart.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, I don¡¯t want to be a princess! A princess is too far away from you!¡±
Thete emperor saw these words as being childish, but I saw a certain thing from little master Feng Huang¡¯s eyes. At that time, my heart shook a bit, but when little master Feng Huang looked at me, I lowered my head.
Little master Feng Huang was very satisfied with my performance. She willfully enjoyed the indulgence of thete emperor and wrote a letter to her parents saying that she liked Nan Feng and wanted to stay here.
I don¡¯t what Feng Qi Qi would think after she read that letter. I¡¯m afraid that she and Feng Cang may not know that their seven-year-old daughter had fallen in love with thete emperor. Light shed inside that pair of clear eyes. Aside from I, this outsider, who can see thoroughly, even thete emperor didn¡¯t take notice.
Little master Feng Huang stayed in the pce for eight years.
Eight years were like a shuttle. Little master Feng Huang had grown from a little girl to a slender and elegant woman.
At that time, Feng Qi Qi no longer showed her face to the world. The title of the number one beauty went from princess to Ming Yue to Feng Qi Qi, and then fell on little master Feng Huang.
Although, she was only fifteen years old, little master Feng Huang has be a famous beauty in the maind. She was pure as the dew on the green leaves in the morning and clean like the snowdrops on the top of the sky. Everyone who saw little master Feng Huang would be intoxicated by her gentleughter and affectionate voice.
Like her mother, she had an eye-catching charm and a modesty that couldn¡¯t be found in the nobility.
The good name of little master Feng Huang became known to all as she grew older and became the object of love of the young masters.
¡°Ming Yue Cheng, I don¡¯t like those men!¡± Little master Feng Huang was gentle. Her face would only change at one moment; that was, when someone confessed to her. Every time when little master Feng Huang say this sentence, thete emperor would rub her head gently and ask affectionately, ¡°What kind of man does Long Er like? I will find him for you!¡±
¡°I like you!¡±
Little master Feng Huang had always been straightforward. I still remember the first time she said that. Thete emperor was startled at first and thenughed out loudly, ¡°Long Er, I¡¯m already old.¡±
Two hidden meanings were revealed with thete emperor saying this. The first one was that he already knew the love little master Feng Huang had towards him. The second was that he wouldn¡¯t ept the feelings of little master Feng Huang.
Such an answer, how could someone as clever as little master Feng Huang not know the hidden meaning? However, her answer was even more surprising, ¡°Ming Yue Cheng, I wouldn¡¯t give up!¡±
If someone asked me, what will happen when two people with a strong will collide, I would tell him that, that was a test of the heart and the affection. It would be the same struggle as running a long-distance marathon. It would be...rocked by a major disaster!
On little master Feng Huang¡¯s sixteenth birthday, I saw Feng Qi Qi again. When she stood together with little master Feng Huang, her age couldn¡¯t be told. Those who didn¡¯t know would think that they were a pair of twin sisters.
Those who came with Feng Qi Qi were her husband and sons. Their family was riunited in the pce of thete emperor.
To be able to see Feng Qi Qi, thete emperor was very happy. The smile on thete emperor¡¯s mouth didn¡¯t disappear for the whole night. When this scene fell on little master Feng Huang¡¯s eyes, it clearly became a pain.
That night, thete emperor got drunk. I served at his side. Deep in the night, little master Feng Huang suddenly came over. She was dressed thinly andy next to thete emperor. I was so shocked that I almost screamed. She firstly hit my pressure point, making me unable to move.
¡°Why won¡¯t you take one more nce at me? We¡¯re only twenty-six years apart! Why wouldn¡¯t you ept me?¡±
Little master Feng Huang snuggled in the arms of the drunkente emperor. She looked pitiful like a child. Her appearance and her tearful voice made me feel heartache.
¡°When the emperor was born, I wasn¡¯t born yet. When I was born, the emperor is already old. However, I don¡¯t care. I don¡¯t care at all!¡±
Just when little master Feng Huang wanted to kiss thete emperor, thete emperor opened his eyes and stopped her ¡®absurd¡¯ behavior.
¡°Long Er, from the start till now, my heart only has your mother. She¡¯s the love of my life and also the only woman that I love. You once asked me why the harem was empty. I didn¡¯t answer you. Now, I will tell you, I once promised your mother, the position of the empress will always be reserved for her.¡±
¡°Long Er, you are only a child in my eyes. I can¡¯t be together with your mother, but I treated you and your brothers as my children. I only love you dearly, but it¡¯s not the love between a man and a woman.¡±
¡°Long Er, you should find a young man to love you and not cling to me!¡±
I feel that the words of thete emperor were a bit cruel to little master Feng Huang. That treasure that thete emperor held in his hands, tears fell from her eyes for the first time in my memory.
¡°I know you love my mother, but I won¡¯t give up. Here has me!¡± Little master Feng Huang put her hand on thete emperor¡¯s chest. ¡°You have me in your eyes and in your heart. You can lie to me, but you can¡¯t lie to yourself!¡±
After saying this, little master Feng Huang ran out barefooted.
¡°Long Er...¡± If it was in the past, thete emperor would definitely chase after her. The night was dark, the wind was strong and little master Feng Huang ran barefooted, thete emperor would definitely be worried about her. However, this time, thete emperor only called little master Feng Huang¡¯s nickname once but didn¡¯t chase after her.
¡°Fu Er, did I do wrong?¡±
Thete emperor asked me, but my pressure point was hit. I couldn¡¯t make a sound. Even after my pressure point was released, I couldn¡¯t answer this question to thete emperor. After all, I¡¯m not the involved party. I didn¡¯t have anything to do with this and couldn¡¯t feel all the emotions of this matter. Naturally, I couldn¡¯t say anything about this.
After that night, little master Feng Huang left a letter and left without saying goodbye. The letter only said that she wanted to travel through the maind to let herself be mature. However, I obviously saw an emotion called heart-tearing pain on thete emperor¡¯s face.
In the days that followed, little master Feng Huang would sent letters every three days. It was still the handwriting that thete emperor was familiar with. The content was nothing more than where she had gone to and what she saw. It was just, at the end of each letter, little master Feng Huang would write a sentence, ¡°Wait for me toe back.¡±
This kind of thing had been going on for a year. Suddenly, little master Feng Huang didn¡¯t send more letters. For a long time, she didn¡¯t write a letter.
During that time, I obviously was able to detect that the emperor was not right. When he was reading the memorials, he would immediately raise his head when he heard footsteps. He wanted to know if it was the eunuch who brought little master Feng Huang¡¯s letter. The repeatedly disappointment made thete emperor¡¯s face graver and also made him thinner.
Little master Feng Huang disappeared like that out of nowhere. Even her family didn¡¯t know where she went. After reading the letter written by Feng Qi Qi, thete emperor waspletely anxious. Feng Huang had always been filial. She wouldn¡¯t not keep in contact with her family. However, this time, even her family didn¡¯t know where she went. Thete emperor was sure that something had happened to her.
Feng Xiao was recalled by thete emperor. Thete emperor passed the throne to him. He took the letters written by little master Feng Huang and began to trace the footprints of Feng Huang. In other words, thete emperor walked on the roads she walked on and drank the soup she tasted...Thete emperor began from the first letter and followed the footsteps of each letter to explore the whereabouts of little master Feng Huang.
Contrary to the attitude of thete emperor, Feng Qi Qi didn¡¯t seem the slightest bit worried about her daughter nor did she send people to search for little master Feng Huang. This was a bit unusual. I noticed it, but I didn¡¯t tell thete emperor. I just followed him all the way. In the end, we reached Xiliang City, the former capital of Xi Qi.
At this point, Xi Qi had already be Nan Feng¡¯s territory for many years. Returning once again to the ce where we were held hostage for ten years, my heart had too many emotions.
Thest letter of little master Feng Huang was sent from here. After that, there was no more news of her.
I and thete emperor took the portrait of little master Feng Huang and posted it everywhere. So, people could help find the whereabouts of little master Feng Huang. We stayed for a month.
This month, I watched thete emperor change from a mature and handsome man to someone dirty. Ayer of beard grew on his clean chin which looked very decadent, dispirited and listless.
¡°Fu Er, I lost her.¡± Thete emperor looked at theing and going people in the city of Xiliang and said that to me. There was endless remorse in this statement which made me pity this emperor.
Thete emperor, this involved party probably wasn¡¯t aware that his love for her had changed long ago from the love of an elder for the younger generation to a love between a man and a woman. It was said that the person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear. Although, I was an onlooker, but I couldn¡¯t say anything.
The person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear. The not involved party sees more of the situation.
¡°Uncle, this is something a sister asked me to give you.¡±
Just when thete emperor fell into loneliness once again, a child with a teapot hairstyle, stuffed a note to thete emperor and then ran awayughingly.
I don¡¯t know when I saw this scene, I suddenly felt that hope wasing. Before I reacted, thete emperor already ran away regardless of his image.
I was old and really couldn¡¯t keep up with thete emperor. I could only hire a carriage and chased. When I caught up with thete emperor, we hade to ake. A small boat was parked on the shore. It seemed to be waiting for us.
When we went by boat to the big boat in the middle of theke, a sound of zither came over. At that time, I clearly saw that the hand of thete emperor began to tremble. Only she could y such a beautiful music.
As a qualified servant, I didn¡¯t follow thete emperor. Instead, I left this ce for them.
However, even so, I heard little master Feng Huang¡¯s voice. I swear that I only heard two sentences. Those sentences said this.
¡°In the past, you met my mother on this boat and fell in love with her. Now, you met me here, can you also love me once?¡±
What happened after that, I don¡¯t know. Even if you question me intensely, I don¡¯t know what had happened. Forgive me for being an old man. Old people forget easily. I don¡¯t remember many, many things anymore.
Maybe, you will say that I was ying the fool. Then, you are very right! As a servant who lived for sixty years in the pce, to be able to live, there must be a way to survive and keep his life. For example I, I know what I should and shouldn¡¯t say. I also know when I should understand things and when I should y the fool.
I can only tell you that after this, thete emperor apanied little master Feng Huang to the Number on vige under Heavens in Yongzhou. I am old. Thete emperor waspassionate. He didn¡¯t let me follow. As for what had happened there, I don¡¯t know.
What I do know is that the ending of this story is clich¨¦. Thete emperor and little master Feng Huang lived happily together. Everyone one, including I, this old eunuch who couldn¡¯t get any older, lived happily.
Chapter 210
Special Chapter: Thest princess (1)
Prologue
August, with the scorching sun, a caravan (a group of merchants) moved slowly at the foot of Dayu Mountain.
¡°Damn, it¡¯s so hot!¡± Song Xi, the leader of the team, wiped the sweat off his face, ¡°If it continues to be hot like this, I¡¯m fucking be shedding ayer of skin when we get to the Fish Gate.¡± Song Xi¡¯s words didn¡¯t make the people of the caravanugh.
If it was under normal circumstances, when Song Xi spoke, there was always someone who goes along with him, but this time this delivery wasn¡¯t the same. First, the weather was too hot and second, because of the arrival at Dayu Mountain. The bandit Xi Mei from Dayu Mountain was very ferocious, so everyone couldn¡¯t be happy.
After seeing the demeanor of everyone, Song Xi beckoned Ah Nan over, ¡°Ah Nan, that brat Ah Wei went to scout the road, why hasn¡¯t he returned yet?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ah Nan was a neer who just came to the caravan. This time, just before departing, the boss elder Yu especially told Song Xi that Ah Nan was his (Lao Yu) distant rtive¡¯s nephew and asked him (SX) to take special care of him on the road. Song Xi hated this kind of entering through the backdoor the most. He especially ¡®took care¡¯ of Ah Nan through the whole journey. The hard ones, the tired ones, he let Ah Nan do it all. If it wasn¡¯t because Ah Nan was a newbie, Song Xi would also make him do things such as scouting the road.
However, Ah Nan was a good-tempered one and was good at his work. No matter what Song Xi made him do, he (Ah Nan) had done it carefully and properly. Song Xi couldn¡¯t find any mistakes.
Moreover, this brat was lively. Where he went was where the joy was. Not long after he entered the caravan, he was able to blend in with the guys. In addition, on several asions where they had encountered danger, Ah Nan took the lead and saved everyone. Therefore, in the caravan, Ah Nan¡¯s prestige was almost equal to Song Xi. It made Song Xi had a sense of crisis for the first time.
¡°Don¡¯t know? Aren¡¯t you two close enough to wear the same pants? You don¡¯t know?¡±
¡°Uncle Song, I don¡¯t have that of a big waistband, and I¡¯m not a demigod.¡±
Ah Nan¡¯s words causedughter in the surroundings. Even Song Xi who saw Ah Nan¡¯s serious expression afterwards, alsoughed and scolded him, ¡°Get lost...Don¡¯t stand in front of me, seeing you make me feel irritated.¡±
After Ah Nan left, Song Xi rubbed the sweat on his face and stared at the misty green hills not far away, and muttered, ¡°Could it be that Ah Wei ran into the bandits?¡±
Nan Feng had been steady and stable in Ming Yue Cheng¡¯s hands. It could be regarded as a strong and prosperous nation. However, in such a country, there was an exception like Dayu Mountain.
Dayu Mountain was located in the north of Nan Feng, near the frontier fortress. Because the mountain was high and far away, the officials couldn¡¯t care much about it. Five years ago, Dayu Mountain was upied by a group of bandits. In less than two years, the name of the female leader of Dayu Mountain Xi Mei spread out, and it was now even more resounding throughout Nan Feng.
All caravans going out of the border must pass through Dayu Mountain. As long as they passed by, they must pay tribute to Xi Mei. Otherwise, they would be looted. In order to avoid being robbed, some caravans made a detour around Dayu Mountain. But after Xi Mei discovered it, she directly took people and outnked them (caravans). In the end, they came to an even more tragic end and directly lost their lives.
The imperial army had alsoe over to encircle and suppress them several times. But because Dayu Mountain was big and deep, the army failed to do something significant to the bandits. After a few times, the imperial army had lost a lot of troops and horses. It gradually became unbothered. As a result, the bandits of Dayu Mountain also became notorious all over the world. Those caravans saw that even the imperial court couldn¡¯t deal with Xi Mei. So they might as well pass through Dayu Mountain and honestly paid tribute to Xi Mei. This way, it was more peaceful.
Song Xi was on this road for several decades. Since the appearance of the bandits, he had also paid tribute to Xi Mei ording to the rules, and every time it was safe and sound. This time, Song Xi sent Ah Wei to scout the road, was to see where the bandits were so that he could be prepared. But didn¡¯t expect Ah Wei to be gone for half a day and still didn¡¯t return. It was really anxious.
¡°Boss, are we going or are we still waiting?¡± Someone asked. Song Xi clenched his teeth, looked at the sky, and ordered. ¡°Let¡¯s go ahead!¡±
The caravans entered in big groups the Dayu Mountain and still didn¡¯t encounter bandits in the evening.
There was something odd about it. Song Xi felt that going this ¡®smoothly¡¯ was wrong. Did the bandits got drunk and went to sleep? Those were actually devils who killed people without blinking their eyes. He heard that many wanted criminals had fled to Dayu Mountain to be bandits. These people couldn¡¯t be offended.
Just as Song Xi was racking his brains about the abnormalities of the bandits, a ¡®rustling¡¯ sound came from the nearby forest. Then a ¡®hand over the money, don¡¯t kill¡¯ was heard, which scared Song Xi so much that he almost fell off the horse.
After looking again, a pink figure slowly appeared in front of everyone. That woman¡¯s ck hair was hanging down on her left shoulder, the hair wrapped in pearls, gold and silver threads. There was a quail-egg-sized gem that hung in her earlobe, lengthening her white earlobe.
She was wearing a pink short dress with dark red knee pads on her legs, and a cor so low revealing the aqua-blue undergarment with the white flesh swaying with each step, letting people daydream.
¡°Tsk, tsk, boss Song, I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days, but you have already forgotten the rules of Dayu Mountain.¡±
It turned out that the woman in front of them was the bandit Xi Mei that gave many a headache. Seeing that somebody came over, Song Xi quickly filled his face with a smile, ¡°Miss Xi, you misunderstood! This time, I have sent Ah Wei over as soon as I arrived at the mountain. But after waiting for a long time, Ah Wei didn¡¯te back...And I¡¯m in a hurry, so that¡¯s why...¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t seen any Ah Wei or Ah Mao that you mentioned. Brothers, have you all seen them?¡±
¡°NO....¡± The men at the side waved their swords and shouted fiercely. It scared the people of the caravans so much that they dismounted their horses, and lowered their heads for fear of annoying the bandits and make them taking their lives.
Compared with these people, Ah Nan who was still on the horse, stood out particrly. Xi Mei soon noticed him.
Ah Nan was sitting upright on the horse and was holding the reins with a straight back. He looked at Xi Mei without squinting. There wasn¡¯t the slightest timidity in his eyes, which aroused Xi Mei¡¯s interest.
Xi Mei swayed the colorful horsewhip in her hand, swinging her hips and walked to the horse. She raised her pretty face and looked at Ah Nan.
This face of the oval type didn¡¯t have the fairness of women in the boudoir. Instead, because of the long-term exposure to the sun, it was dyed with a healthy red. On the oval face, there was a mboyant pair of long, shapely eyebrows with thick dark colors. Under the eyebrows, there was an indescribable charm in the eyes. On the left face of Xi Mei, there was a thin scar that continued from the tip of the eyebrow to the corner of the lip.
At this moment, Xi Mei was looking at Ah Nan with strong interest. In the eyes of Xi Mei, Ah Nan was a tall man with wide shoulders, a thin waist, narrow hips and a superb body. Compared with the good figure, Ah Nan¡¯s face was rather ordinary. Not handsome, but charming, and very young, at most sixteen or seventeen years old.
¡°This brother, first time going out?¡± Xi Mei jumped up and sat down in Ah Nan¡¯s arms. Her hands reached into Ah Nan¡¯s clothes and squeezed a few times. Hard muscles, great body! Xi Mei burst intoughter.
¡°Yes, Miss Xi, please take good care of me.¡± Ah Nan with a straight face gripped the hand of Xi Mei to not let her go any deeper.
Ah Nan¡¯s voice had a special kind of maism. Listening to it, made Xi Mei¡¯s heart tremble. She wasn¡¯t a little girl who had no experience. But Ah Nan¡¯s clean body air made her feel good and happy. After looking into the eyes of Ah Nan, this feeling in Xi Mei¡¯s heart was more obvious. This man was full of magic, people couldn¡¯t help but want to explore.
Xi Mei moved sideways to expose the white flesh on her chest to Ah Nan. She put her hands around his neck and rubbed gently her chest against Ah Nan¡¯s strong chest. ¡°How old are you, brother? Is there a wife in the family?¡±
¡°There isn¡¯t.¡± Ah Nan shook his head and leaned backwards, trying to create more distance between Xi Mei and him.
After Song Xi, who was in front of the team, heard Xi Mei¡¯s questions, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. What did this woman want to do? Could it be that she took a fancy to Ah Nan and wanted to make Ah Nan her bandit den¡¯s husband? The slutiness of Xi Mei was as notorious as her ruthless and spicy attitude. A man with a bit of good-looks would be kept by her. Although Ah Nan wasn¡¯t outstanding in appearance, he had entered the eyes of Xi Mei, which was a troublesome matter. If Xi Mei really wanted to keep Ah Nan, how was he going to exin to the boss (elder Yu)?
¡°Don¡¯t have a wife?¡± Xi Mei hooked her hands and stroked Ah Nan¡¯s chin. The ck stubble was still soft, proving that this man wasn¡¯t mature and still unripe.
Xi Mei stared at Ah Nan¡¯s eyes. She looked at the shadow inside, and her voice softened up. ¡°Then do you have someone to marry?¡±
¡°There isn¡¯t.¡±
Ah Nan¡¯s answer made Xi Mei very happy. Sheughed heartily and showed two rows of white teeth and pink gum flesh. Just when everyone thought that Xi Mei was going to snatch him directly, Xi Mei got down and came to Song Xi. The horsewhip hooked around Song Xi¡¯s neck and brought him into her arms. ¡°Song Xi, you broke my rules today. As a rule, you have to leave all the goods.¡±
Song Xi didn¡¯t dare to look at that spring bosom and quickly dodged to the side to make a bow with his hands to Xi Mei. ¡°Miss Xi, I really sent Ah Wei out. That brat must be hiding somewhere ying. If the goods are confiscated, even ten heads of mine won¡¯t be enough topensate! Miss Xi, be generous. We can pay more for the toll.¡±
Seeing Song Xi like this, Xi Mei smiled and didn¡¯t answer. Her eyes looked straight at Ah Nan. As it happened, Ah Nan was also looking at her. Xi Mei felt that there was a fire burning inside, making her fidget. She whipped her whip and pointed to Ah Nan, and said to Song Xi, ¡°The toll is tenfold and he has to stay.¡±
At the first part of the sentence, Song Xi was relieved. Tenfold, then tenfold was fine. As long as the goods weren¡¯t confiscated. However, why was thetter sentence so wrong!?¡±
¡°What are you doing by keeping Ah Nan? He¡¯s clumsy, he can¡¯t do anything well, and he¡¯s still a novice. Do you want to change to somebody else...¡±
¡°No! I just fancy him! Thisdy just like beautiful young boys!¡±
The stubbornness of Xi Mei was well known. The things she had set on wouldn¡¯t be changed. But leaving Ah Nan, Song Xi couldn¡¯t do it. Although he didn¡¯t like this young man who entered the caravan through the backdoor, Ah Nan wasn¡¯t bad. For the sess of the caravan, he needed to leave Ah Nan in the bandit¡¯s nest. But in the event if something happened to Ah Nan, not only it wasn¡¯t easy to tell the boss (elder Yu), Song Xi himself would also feel very apologetic.
¡°Miss Xi, we can pay more for the toll, but Ah Nan really can¡¯t stay. I promised the boss to protect him. This is hard toply.¡±
¡°Hehe, then there¡¯s nothing to say!¡± Xi Meiughed and pped. The bandits flocked over and surrounded the caravan. ¡°Since boss Song refused, I can only let you all stay! Brothers, take them all to the Chao Tian vige!¡±
Immediately, the bandits came forward and shoved the crowds. They (bandits) bound their (caravan) hands one by one with hemp rope, and their eyes were wrapped in ck cloth.
¡°Walk!¡±
Special Chapter: Thest princess (1) (Part 2)
Chao Tian vige was located in the deep mountains of Dayu Mountain. Song Xi and the others were blindfolded by a ck cloth. When they were taken to the vige, the sky was already dark.
When they saw the light, the crowds found out that Chao Tian vige was actually a dam in the mountain, with only a narrow path out. The dam was surrounded by cliffs. It was a smart move to choose such a ce for a vige.
¡°Do you like it here?¡± Xi Mei came up to Ah Nan and stood beside him. She then found out that her height was barely at Ah Nan¡¯s chest. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was, the more she liked him. She decided that Ah Nan was her man. She simply leaned in his arms and felt the masculinity of his body.
¡°Not bad.¡±
Ah Nan didn¡¯t push Xi Mei away this time but looked closely at Chao Tian vige. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was no wonder that the imperial court hadn¡¯t found the bandit¡¯s nest for so long. So, it turned out they were hiding here.
¡°I picked this ce! People of the imperial court can¡¯t find it!¡±
Xi Mei leaned on the wooden fence and looked at her Chao Tian vige. Her eyes were full of confidence.
Ah Nan turned his face to the side and looked at Xi Mei. This woman was in her twenties, less than thirty. Usually, she looked just like a gorgeous beauty, somewhat vulgar, somewhat sexy, like the owner of a bar, both ttering and flirtatious. If it wasn¡¯t because the reputation of Chao Tian vige was too well-known, and there was too much blood on her hands, no one would believe that the woman in front of him would be the bandit¡¯s leader who coldly killed people.
¡°Why did you be a bandit?¡±
¡°Do you discriminate against bandits?¡± Xi Mei frowned and her two red lips moved close to Ah Nan. ¡°My father was a bandit, my mother was a bandit, and my dead man was a bandit, so I¡¯m naturally a bandit too!¡±
This answer made Ah Nan smiled faintly. When he smiled, the corner of his mouth was very beautiful. Xi Mei¡¯s heart trembled and turned her eyes to one side. She had seen men more handsome than Ah Nan. Why did she think that Ah Nan was different? The smile was so charming. This Ah Nan was really good-looking!
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Ah Nan.¡±
¡°Ah Nan? Good name... Xi Mei suddenly tiptoed, trying to give Ah Nan a peck on the lips, but was avoided by him. Her lips just rubbed the stubble on his chin. ¡°Ah Nan, I like you! If you don¡¯t want anything to happen to them, stay here.¡±
¡°What if I say no?¡± Ah Nan smiled wickedly. That smile made Xi Mei almost be indulged in it.
If other people were provocative, Xi Mei would immediately kill that person without saying anything but Ah Nan was different. At first nce, Xi Mei took a fancy to Ah Nan. So that was why she took him to Chao Tian vige.
¡°Ah Nan, you should have heard of my reputation. If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll kill them one by one and let them die in front of you.¡± Xi Mei smilingly spoke, but her eyes looked like it had a knife. She was determined to have this man. The men she had fancied, there wasn¡¯t one who she couldn¡¯t obtain.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I heard that anyone who has been taken to Chao Tian vige, end up with dead eventually. You¡¯re afraid that people will leak the location of Chao Tian vige and therefore will kill them every time. This is your usual trick. Since they are doomed to die in the end, why should I care so much?!¡±
Ah Nan¡¯s answer was somewhat inhuman, but the more Xi Mei listened, the more she liked this man.
Everyone said that she Xi Mei¡¯s methods were cruel. Not only robbing the money but also robbing people of their lives. However, she never cared about these ims. She liked this kind of life. Who in this vige didn¡¯t have a few lives in their hands? She killed the most! In this line of work, she had long forgotten the virtues and moralities. She was just going to live in the moment.
¡°Ah Nan, you can¡¯t run away! You¡¯re mine, just mine.¡± Xi Mei¡¯s hand pulled out the hairpin on Ah Nan¡¯s head and put her hands in his thick ck hair. ¡°Tonight, you can¡¯t avoid the consummation! Looking at your appearance, you¡¯re still a virgin. You can rest assured. I¡¯ll teach you step by step!¡±
After saying that, Xi Meiughed loudly and swung into the room.
This time, except for Ah Nan, everyone else was tied up and thrown into the hut. The bandits in the vige were drinking heavily and eatingrge pieces of meat. Those wooden houses were covered with white skeleton head on the roof, as if they were advertising their glorious achievements.
¡°Husband Ah Nan,e on...¡± Xi Mei changed to a thinyered red-burning gauze dress, with only embroidered ¡®mandarin ducks ying in the water¡¯ on the red undergarment and a red shorts inside. The white flesh was particrly enchanting under the red dress. The bandits on the field cheered and immediately filthy words were filled in Ah Nan¡¯s ears.
¡°Husband, are you shy? Would you like me toe to you?¡± Xi Mei had put on makeup, and it looked very sexy under the lights.
Ah Nan ignored Xi Mei. Instead, he pulled the rabbit meat in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it up.
¡°Leader, the husband is perhaps shy! Look at him, he¡¯s certainly a small chicken. Leader, you must remember to be gentle!¡±
¡°Hahaha! Husband, you must eat enough, then you¡¯ll have the energy to work hard! It¡¯s been a long time since the leader has cared about someone!¡±
Everyone¡¯s words made Xi Mei very happy. She simply sat beside Ah Nan and served him the food. Seeing Xi Mei like this, the bandits whistled and roared one after another. They all said that Ah Nan was blessed enough to enjoy Xi Mei¡¯s close service.
¡°Get lost!¡± Xi Mei looked at those people and put her hands on Ah Nan¡¯s arms. ¡°You all must have a good drink and good meal today! Right, don¡¯te to disturb the bridal chamber! I want to be happy today!¡±
After saying that, Xi Mei went into Ah Nan¡¯s arms. ¡°Husband, are you done with eating? If you¡¯re full, let¡¯s go do something meaningful~~~.¡±
Ah Nan, who was avoiding before, lifted her up and put her on his shoulder. And in the whistling sound of everyone, they went to their bridal chamber.
If Xi Mei had foresight, she would definitely let go of Ah Nan and the caravan. However, she wasn¡¯t a god and couldn¡¯t do fortune-telling. She didn¡¯t know that her life woulde to an abrupt end on this day.
When seventy-six people lively heads fell in front of Xi Mei, she screamed. No matter what, she couldn¡¯t connect the former ordinary Ah Nan with the crown prince of Nan Feng, Feng Xiao, in front of her.
Looking at the red figure in front of her, handsome and with an unusual purple-eyed man, Xi Mei knew that she was wrong. She couldn¡¯t imagine that the magnificent crown prince would disguise as a servant in order to clean up the Dayu Mountain¡¯s bandits. When she entered the bridal chamber and was knocked unconscious by him, Xi Mei noticed something unusual. But this oddness happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
¡°Bastard, kill me! Just kill me!¡± Xi Mei looked up and looked at Ah Nan fiercely, no, it should be Feng Xiao. ¡°Just kill me!¡±
¡°Rest assured, the next one is you.¡±
Feng Xiao pped his hands and a person came forward to read the crime of Xi Mei. Until only now did Xi Mei knew that she had 143 lives on her hands. She couldn¡¯t remember it herself but didn¡¯t expect that Feng Xiao could find out.
¡°Execute....¡±
¡°Wait a minute!¡± Just as the big knife was about to fall, Xi Mei shouted out. ¡°His Royal Highness, I, can I ask you something?¡±
¡°Talk.¡±
¡°The mute girl who cooked for us is innocent. Her parents were killed by me. I saw that she was young and there wasn¡¯t any threat, so I let her stay as a servant. She¡¯s clean and innocent. Please be generous and don¡¯t kill her. She, she¡¯s only nine years old, still a child....¡±
¡°I know. Execute her....¡±
The head of Xi Mei fell down and rolled to the ground. Before dying, Xi Mei had been staring at the small figure not far away. There were too many unwillingness and intolerances in her eyes. Rong Hua, aunt could only help you till here. How your future would unfold, it would depend on your own fortunes...
~~~Rong Hua~~~
When that heaven-like man came over, my cold heart suddenly jumped up. He came up to me and lowered his body. I found out that he had a pair of deep purple eyes, which was different from ordinary people. Beautiful and flirtatious, emitting an enchanting radiance.
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± His voice was very soft and low, with an enchanting luxury. I clenched my fist and looked at his eyes with some fear. I don¡¯t know what kind of existence I would be in Feng Xiao¡¯s eyes. At least my petite body, and wide and fully patched rough cloth would make him pity me from the heart. Moreover, I¡¯m a mute.
¡°Can you write?¡±
Feng Xiao opened his palms and put it in front of me. His fingers were slender. I thought that such a noble person as him must be very spoiled. But didn¡¯t expect that there was rough callus on his palms and fingers. It seemed that the rumored imperial crown prince who was a master of pen and sword, wasn¡¯t fake. Otherwise, Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t able to sneak into the Chao Tian vige alone and eliminated the bandits that gued the people in one go.
¡°Rong Hua.¡±
I extended my fingers and wrote these two words in the palm of Feng Xiao.
¡°Rong Hua? Good name!¡± Feng Xiao rubbed my head. Just when I thought he would hand me over to the soldiers behind him, he picked me up. He looked young and not very sturdy. However, he was very tall and was strong enough.
It was the first time that I was held like this. I was a little nervous. My small hands tightly grabbed the clothes on his chest. The firewood ash that was on my hands left a small handprint on his red burning brocade. I was so shocked that I pulled back my hands.
Although this was Chao Tian vige, news from the outside wasn¡¯t blocked. Aunt Xi Mei would bring back all kinds of news from the outside, such as news about Feng Xiao. I knew that he had germophobia (obsession with cleanliness) and liked red. The clothes on him must be the brocade with golden carp. I heard that once a pce maid went near him and wanted to get the favor of the crown prince, but she was thrown into the fish pond.
Now, looking at the grey handprint on his brocade, I closed my eyes and my small body shivered. I don¡¯t know if my fate would also be thrown out by him like that pce maid. But with my frail body, I would be seriously injured if not deadnding on the ground.
After waiting for a long time, when I felt hopeless in my heart, I heard a chuckle in my ear. ¡°Ha, this little fellow is very interesting!¡±
He wasn¡¯t mad? I was very surprised and looked at Feng Xiao with wide eyes. His smile was very charming. Although I was only a nine years old child, I couldn¡¯t help but blush. Devilish beauty! It was probably to describe such a man like him!
Feng Xiao held me and went out all the way. I saw the head of aunt Xi Mei. The look before her death was filled with all kinds ofplicated feelings. I knew that she was worried about me.
¡°Don¡¯t look! Children mustn¡¯t look at these things....¡±
Just when I was about to say farewell to aunt Xi Mei, a fragrant handkerchief covered my head and blocked my view. The handkerchief smelled very good. I had never smelled such a smell. It actually had the same scent as Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao didn¡¯t let me see, so I just rested on the shoulders of him. Children always made people put their defenses down. This was what aunt Xi Mei often said.
Feng Xiao obviously regarded me as an ordinary child. What he didn¡¯t know was that I grew up with aunt Xi Mei, so I was used to seeing all kinds of blood. The scene just now didn¡¯t frighten me at all. As early as the day when Chao Tian vige was established, I knew that there would be a day like this. Aunt Xi Mei also knew. In other words, for the past five years, we had been waiting for this day, waiting for Feng Xiao toe.
I held on Feng Xiao¡¯s shoulder and watched Chao Tian vige where I grew up these years. I got far and farther away. My mood became heavier too.
Aunt Xi Mei was dead. My only rtive was gone, and my future looked dim. I don¡¯t know how I could stay with Feng Xiao and how I could survive.
Aunt Xi Mei had said, ¡°Rong Hua, no matter what happens, you must hold on to it. Even if you drift and lives without purpose, you must live on. Because your body is filled with noble blood. You won¡¯t be petty and low forever. You must not only live but also live a splendid life....¡±
Thinking of aunt Xi Mei and Chao Tian vige, I slowly fell asleep. When I woke up again, I was lying on a clean bed. This room was far better, cleaner and more beautiful than my cottage in Chao Tian vige. The curtains hanging on the side of the bed were translucent, embroidered with fluttery butterflies on it. Even the wings of the butterflies were decorated with beautiful little gems.
The things from Jue Se Fang were really exquisite. I couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch the butterflies on the curtains.
¡°Miss Rong Hua, you¡¯re awake?¡±
After hearing the movement on the bed, a pretty girl appeared in front of me. She wasn¡¯t much older than me. About thirteen year¡¯s old and looked very friendly.
¡°This servant Dong Rui is sent by His Royal Highness to serve you!¡±
Dong Rui was the second person I got to know after leaving Chao Tian vige. She smiled every day as if she never knew sorrow. In Dong Rui¡¯s words, I was too depressed. She thought it was because I had been in the Chao Tian vige for a long time and was frightened by the bandits, so that¡¯s why I had lost my childishness and innocence. But how could Dong Rui know, I was also a bandit.
Feng Xiao ced me in the Hua Yang Hall of the Eastern Pce. Here, it faced the sun and was warm. Feng Xiao said that I¡¯m too thinpared to children of the same age and should be nourished well. Moreover, basking in the sun was one of the tasks that Feng Xiao arranged for me. He said to supplement me with calcium. I don¡¯t know what calcium supplement was, but I followed the request of Feng Xiao. First, it was to please him, this was the request of aunt Xi Mei to me; second, his words were reasonable.
I liked the warm sunshine and I also liked the freshness and cleaness on Feng Xiao. It was just that I remembered the words of aunt Xi Mei: the hatred of destroying the country, made us unable to live under the same sky. Feng Xiao, he was destined to be my enemy in this life.
Chapter 211 (END)
Special Chapter: Thest princess (2) (Part 1)
I had been in Hua Yang Hall for three months. During these three months, I had gone to every ce in the Eastern Pce. Everyone knew that I was the mute girl who was picked up by Feng Xiao. They saw that I was only a child, so they didn¡¯t hinder me much from wandering around.
Three months was enough for me to remember theyout of the Eastern Pce. Except for Feng Xiao¡¯s study that I couldn¡¯t enter, I had my presence at all his other ces.
What made me worried was that there were very few times to see Feng Xiao in the past three months. After he ced me in the Hua Yang Hall, he never appeared in front of me again. Aunt Xi Mei said that I should please Feng Xiao and get his likes. That way I could survive here. So, I made a decision.
¡°You want to be a pce maid?¡± Dong Rui was surprised, ¡°Isn¡¯t it good now, miss? There¡¯s His Royal Highness, no one will bully you!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch.¡± I wrote on paper.
Dong Rui looked at it for a long time and smiled. ¡°Miss, allow this servant to report to His Royal Highness.¡±
However, Feng Xiao didn¡¯te see me in the end. That young man who held me in Chao Tian vige never appeared again. Only Dong Rui brought back a reply. Feng Xiao agreed to let me start from the lowest rank for pce maid.
Dong Rui brought me a small size of the pce maid¡¯s clothes. I took off the robes on my body and started as a small pce maid.
Many people didn¡¯t understand my choice. People thought that I should ask for more things through the favor of Feng Xiao. I heard everyone¡¯sment but didn¡¯t respond. Aunt Xi Mei said that no one would be guarded against children. I didn¡¯t think so. Feng Xiao¡¯s cold shoulder at these times was sufficient to show that I was merely a small wave and didn¡¯t attract his attention.
If I wanted to stay at Feng Xiao¡¯s side, I had to have such ability and qualifications. Only in this way, I could avenge my royal father one day.
The pce maid who was in charge of matters wasn¡¯t particrly tolerant of me because I was brought back by Feng Xiao. She treated me equally and was still strict with me. Under her teaching, soon I was able to do my job and became a qualified pce maid in the Eastern Pce. I was assigned to the garden of the Eastern Pce.
Although the garden of the Eastern Pce wasn¡¯tparable to the Imperial Garden in the imperial pce, it was still colorful and full of flowers.
Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t married, so there weren¡¯t any female masters in the Eastern Pce. The only person who often came to y was Feng Xiao¡¯s little sister, Feng Huang. When I first saw Feng Huang, I was surprised. I thought I saw a fairy from the heaven. Feng Xiao gently stood beside Feng Huang and picked up the petals on her shoulders. The two of them standing in the garden was just like fairies.
Feng Huang was the same age as me, but the nobleness of her gestures was entirely innate. Seeing me looking at her, she wasn¡¯t angry but instead nodded to me and smiled. That smile made me forget that I was sweeping the floor and I foolishly stood there.
¡°Brother, you hire childbor! You¡¯re even willing to let such a small girl work. If mother knows, she¡¯ll scold you again!¡± The voice of Feng Huang was as gentle as the butterfly in the wind. When I saw hering over, my breathing slowed down.
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Feng Huang held my hand. I recognized the brocade on her body. It had long been known that little master Feng Huang was much doted on by Ming Yue Cheng. It seemed to be true.
I didn¡¯t know why. When I saw Feng Huang and Feng Xiao together, I felt a sad feeling in my heart. Everything they enjoy now should have belonged to me. If my royal father was still here, if my royal father got the throne, I would have been the honorable princess Rong Hua and not a little pce maid with a broom.
¡°Long Er, she can¡¯t talk.¡± Feng Xiao exined my silence and told my name to Feng Huang. From the eyes of Feng Huang, I saw pity. Compared to her brother Feng Xiao, Feng Huang was a simpler girl.
¡°Brother, let Rong Hua go with me! Ick a studypanion!¡±
I had heard that as long as Feng Huang asked, Feng Xiao would meet her request. But this time, Feng Xiao looked at me for a long time. If it hadn¡¯t been for the sun up in the sky, I thought I fell into the ice cave. My intuition told me that Feng Xiao doubted my identity. That was why he did this to me. In a panic, I lowered my head and my tiny fingers grabbed the broomstick firmly, and even at some point, I was about to stop breathing.
¡°Brother, don¡¯t scare Rong Hua. She¡¯s still a child.¡± Feng Huang seeing me like this, quickly helped me out. In an instant, the cold that was frozen around me disappeared. ¡°If you like her, take her with you then!¡±
After Feng Xiao and Feng Huang left, my legs gave out and fell on the ground.
I would never forget the expression of Feng Xiao, where his purple eyes were covered with ice behind the long eyshes. Although I didn¡¯t know what had gone wrong and made him change so much, but I could feel him doubting me and guarding against me.
Before I could ponder over the cause of the problem, I was brought into the imperial pce of Nan Feng by Feng Huang.
This was my first visit to the pce. Even though I knew a lot about the imperial pce of Nan Feng from the description of aunt Xi Mei. I had also once fantasized in my little head about how magnificent the imperial pce was. But I was still attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of me.
¡°Rong Hua, you¡¯ll live here from now on. You can rest assured that no one will bully you. There¡¯s me! Even brother can¡¯t!¡± Feng Huang generously found a residence for me. Let me go from being an orphan girl to a studypanion of Feng Huang.
In Nan Feng, there were three noblest persons; one was Ming Yue Cheng, the second was Feng Xiao and the third was Feng Huang.
But for the people in the pce, the noblest person was Feng Huang. Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Xiao treated her like a treasure. All the food and clothing expenses were the best, even I as the studypanion was enjoying the best treatment. My status had also risen because of Feng Huang and became miss Rong Hua among the people.
Aunt Xi Mei said that ten years wasn¡¯t too long for a gentleman to take revenge. Feng Xiao had already be suspicious of me. I must have the trust of Feng Huang in order to survive in this pce.
In the next five years, I had been careful and cautious, firmly remembering my identity and tried my best to y the role of a studypanion. As time passed, I almost forgot my identity until eunuch Luo came to me.
That day, I picked up the red plum blossom and nned to go back. A eunuch with a crooked body stepped on the snow appeared in front of me. ¡°Paying this eunuch¡¯s respect to Princess Rong Hua....¡±
His voice was old and gloomy. When I heard him for the first time, I was startled and quickly looked around. It was winter and there was no one in the Plum Garden. I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at eunuch Luo and pretended that ¡®I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡±
¡°Hehe, Princess is very sharp-witted.¡± That eunuch took out a jade and handed it to me. After seeing the word ¡®Xi¡¯, my eyes became warm. ¡®Xi¡¯ was the name of my royal father. This was the jade that imperial grandfather gave him when he was born. Aunt Xi Mei said that if I could enter the pce, someone would take the jade of wangye1 to meet me. I think the eunuch in front was the person who aunt Xi Mei talked about!
¡°Luo Su?¡± I spoke softly.
¡°It¡¯s this ve.¡± Luo Su heard me speak and his eyes became red. People in the pce thought that I was a mute girl. No one knew that I could actually speak. I just pretended that I couldn¡¯t. ¡°Princess has suffered! If wangye was still here, he¡¯ll certainly be happy to see Princess being so sensible!¡±
Luo Su¡¯s words were very emotional and made my heart tremble. After living a quiet life for so long, Luo Su¡¯s arrival finally disrupted it.
I took what Luo Su gave me and quickly returned to the room. After I calmed down, I went out of the room. I put the red plum blossoms in the vase and put it in front of Feng Huang.
¡°It¡¯s really pretty!¡±
Feng Huang liked red plum blossom. The bright red plum blossom set off her devastatingly beautiful face. The person and flowerplemented each other. It was very touching.
¡°Rong Hua, thank you!¡± Feng Huang took out a plum blossom and put it in my hair.
Feng Huang¡¯s manner was very good. Although she was the most beloved girl in Nan Feng, she wasn¡¯t arrogant because of this. She was always modest and amiable. Looking at Feng Huang, I would feel inferior. Not only because god gave her perfect looks, but also because of her noble character. I often wonder if my royal father became the emperor, could I, as the princess, be as noble and pure as Feng Huang.
After returning to the room, I opened up what Luo Su had given me. There was a piece of paper inside, which was densely packed with the people my royal father had put in the imperial pce of Nan Feng in those years as well as the weakness of powerful officials. Since the death of my royal father, Luo Su had been hiding quietly in the pce. It had been ten years now. His life was saved by my royal father, so I would never doubt his loyalty.
It took me three days to memorize all the people written down on the list. Maybe everything was god¡¯s will. Most of those people were assigned to Feng Xiao¡¯s Eastern Pce, which was more convenient for me.
After memorizing it all, I burned the paper. Everything was so cautious that no one was aware of it. For the past five years in the pce, although Feng Huang protected me, I knew clearly that in this dark pce, no information that could be used against me could be left behind. Otherwise, the one that was going to die wasn¡¯t me but everyone.
Special Chapter: Thest princess (2) (Part 2)
Now, Ming Yue Cheng doesn¡¯t deal with the court¡¯s matter anymore. Five years ago, Feng Xiao had begun to participate in the political affairs. The whole political court is now in the hand of Feng Xiao.
In fact, Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t the child of Ming Yue Cheng. Contrariwise, it was me and Ming Yue Cheng who had an inextricable connection.
ording to seniority in the family, I should call Ming Yue Cheng imperial uncle. In those days, in order to clear the obstacle for the crown prince (FX), Ming Yue Cheng killed many people, including the imperial family of Nan Feng who opposed to Feng Xiao¡¯s session of the throne. My royal father was among them.
My royal father, Ming Yue Xi, was the legitimate prince of Nan Feng. If Ming Yue Cheng didn¡¯t return to the country, this dynasty might had belong to my royal father. Unfortunately, life had its ups and downs. The prince (MYC) who was imprisoned in Xi Qi became the ruler of Nan Feng and imprisoned his brothers in the capital, including my royal father.
When Ming Yue Cheng wanted to make Feng Xiao the crown prince, my royal father summoned the ministers day and night. In the eyes of my royal father, Nan Feng belonged to the Ming family. No matter what, it wasn¡¯t the turn of Feng Xiao. Ming Yue Cheng doing this was undoubtedly selling the country.
¡°He ruined Nan Feng was just to please that demonish girl of Bei Zhou! He¡¯s just selling the country!¡± When he got agitated, my royal father would bang the table hard and spit everywhere.
At that time, I was young. I didn¡¯t know who the demonish girl that my royal father talked about was. Until he hade to a bad end, only then did I got to know that the person royal father mentioned was the mother of Feng Xiao...Feng Qi Qi.
Royal father unscrupulously attacked Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Xiao in wangfu1. Until the time, when he repeatedly called Feng Qi Qi ¡®demonish girl, wangfu then faced imminent catastrophe.
I never knew that imperial uncle¡¯s protection over Feng Qi Qi would be so deep. He personally came to the wangfu to question royal father. But it so happened that, that day royal father was unhappy. He had drank wine and even talked irresponsibly. He even shouted out imperial uncle¡¯s secret.
¡°Imperial brother, don¡¯t think that you can hide those things you do from all the people. Everything you do is for that demonish woman! Because of that demonish woman, you give up the harem of three thousand beautiful women! Because of her, you even don¡¯t want an imperial heir! She can bewitch you into this. She¡¯s just a wicked woman!¡±
¡°Bastard!¡± Ming Yue Cheng gave royal father a p in the face, so hard that his mouth was bleeding. Aunt Xi Mei quickly covered my eyes and hid me. Afterwards, wangfu was cleaned up. Aunt Xi Mei had fled with me and took me out of the capital. After that, we rooted in Dayu Mountain.
I was young at that time. I couldn¡¯t remember many things clearly. I only clearly remembered the words royal father shouted. ¡°That demonish woman is going to ruin my Nan Feng! The hatred of destroying the country is absolutely irreconsble!¡±
I engraved these words in my heart because it was these words that brought death to my royal father.
The reason why eunuch Luo came to me now was because Feng Xiao was about to get married. He thought that this was an opportunity. I had seen Feng Xiao¡¯s fianc¨¦e Nn Zhu. She was a beautiful, gentle and kind girl. As soon as Feng Xiao saw her, his purple eyes would turn gentle.
I once met them in the Imperial Garden. Feng Xiao was holding her hands and carefully cherished her. Although Nn Zhu wasn¡¯t a weak woman, she could save tiger cubs from the wolves when hunting in winter. But in front of Feng Xiao, she was like a cute and helpless-looking woman and nestled against Feng Xiao. The two together were like a fairy couple, making people envy.
Eunuch Luo said that when Feng Xiao married, Feng Qi Qi would definitely attend her eldest son¡¯s wedding. This was a good opportunity to strike.
As soon as I heard the name of that demonish woman, I forgot all the things like -endurance and hide oneself- that aunt Xi Mei said to me. Feng Xiao was my enemy, Feng Qi Qi even more. Because of Feng Qi Qi, royal father died unjustly. Everything was because of her!
I followed Luo Su¡¯s arrangement and met the people on the list. After years of observation by eunuch Luo, he concluded that these people were loyal to my royal father a. As for the ministers, they had also recently received an anonymous letter, which detailed the evidence of their bribery. For a moment, the court was in turmoil. I felt that everything was in my hands. When I looked at Feng Huang again, I gave her back the pity look that I had seen in her eyes.
One day, I would return to my position and destroy those who brought me harm!
Because of Feng Xiao¡¯s wedding, Feng Huang moved to the Eastern Pce to help him prepare. I as the studypanion also came to the Eastern Pce again. After five years, I was no longer that submitting and lonely mute girl. Feng Xiao also became a more mature and steady young man from that elegant youngster.
Looking at the Eastern Pce decorated withnterns and colored banners, and filled with joy, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart. I didn¡¯t know from when, Feng Xiao was like a small seed that nted in my heart. It gave birth to a small bud and grew into a dense of branches, let my heart gradually be filled with him.
I envied Feng Huang, was jealous of Nn Zhu and hated all the people that Feng Xiao treated well. Envy, jealous, hate. The source of all crime....
I don¡¯t know if it was because I fell for Feng Xiao that I changed the target of revenge from Feng Xiao to Feng Qi Qi. I stubbornly believed that the direct cause of the death of my royal father was Feng Qi Qi and not Feng Xiao.
I forgot his indifferent eyes of that time when I left the Eastern Pce and also forgot aunt Xi Mei¡¯s advice that ¡°killing Feng Xiao was the best revenge against Feng Qi Qi¡±. As early as when Feng Xiao lowered his body and asked my name in a low voice, that purple-eyed young man had entered my heart.
Because my embroidery was very good, the future crown princess asked me to help her make her wedding dress. Looking at the expression of Nn Zhu¡¯s begging, I felt satisfied inside. It turned out that she wasn¡¯t perfect. She also had things that she couldn¡¯t do. I put all the longing for my wedding on this wedding dress as if every stitch and thread outlined my happiness.
I carefully sewed the wedding dress, and hid the ¡®dark fragrance¡¯ on the gold threads and sewed the wedding dress with it. ¡®Dark fragrance¡¯ could make people unconscious. My aim was to let Feng Xiao lose consciousness at the wedding night. After that, I and my royal father¡¯s men would take the opportunity to kill Feng Qi Qi to avenge my royal father.
From the beginning to the end, I didn¡¯t want to hurt Feng Xiao. I just wanted to make him faint. I just wanted to let him avoid this organized and nned revenge, but I was wrong. I had the intention to let him go, but others wouldn¡¯t. When Luo Su¡¯s sharp knife was turned to Feng Xiao, I screamed.
¡°Princess, please move away....¡± Luo Su frowned.
¡°Eunuch, our enemy is Feng Qi Qi and not the crown prince!¡±
¡°Princess, you¡¯re confused! How can Feng Xiao be the crown prince of our Nan Feng?! His surname is Feng. He¡¯s the son of that demonish woman. He¡¯s your enemy!¡±
Even after Luo Su said these, I still refused to move. I still believed that in the whole matter, Feng Xiao was innocent. When my royal father died, Feng Xiao was just as old as I am now. How was it his fault? The people that should die were Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng!
¡°Eunuch, in any case, you can¡¯t kill Feng Xiao. The people we want to kill are Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Qi Qi. They¡¯re the murderers of my father!¡±
My insistence made Luo Su helpless. Luo Su could only step back and took everyone to the other pces. For a moment, Eastern Pce was brightly lit and noisy everywhere. Just when I thought all the dust had settled and the dynasty of Nan Feng would return to my hands again, a sword was ced on my neck.
¡°You, when did you wake up?¡± I looked at Feng Xiao and was shocked. There were also Nn Zhu who was at the side, the matron of honor, and the pce maids. They all stood up.
¡°I have been awake the whole time.¡± Feng Xiao¡¯s voice was still deep and low with a charming maism but piercing cold.
Everything my royal father left for me was ruined this evening. Those hidden in the Imperial Pce and the Eastern Pce were dug up. All of them were killed by Ming Yue Cheng immediately. Before Luo Su died, he sighed a long sigh at me, as if he hated iron for not bing steel. Also, as if he felt guilty for notpleting the task given by my royal father.
As for other people, I knew that some died unwillingly, some died resentful. Luo Su¡¯s loyalty was unquestionable. However, other people had lived peacefully for so long but stepped on the road of death because of my arrival. So, I could see their hatred for me in their eyes.
¡°Just kill me....¡± I looked desperately at the man on the high tform. This was the first time I spoke. Except for Feng Xiao, others were obviously surprised.
¡°You can talk? Rong Hua, why are you doing this?¡± Feng Huang looked at me iprehensibly.
In the past five years, she had treated me as her best friend and shared her joys and sorrows with me. Including her little secret of secretly loving Ming Yue Cheng, she had told me. She had never discriminated against me because I was a mute girl. She sincerely cared for me and treated me like an equal to her.
Looking at the beautiful eyes of Feng Huang, all her kindness to me, all came to my mind. I couldn¡¯tpare in character, manner and kindness to the girl in front of me at all. She was the perfect embodiment, making me feel inferior. That was probably why I wanted to destroy her happiness. Because I was unwilling. I was the real princess!
I closed my eyes and tried to force all the good of Feng Huang out of my head. She was the daughter of that demonish woman. She wasn¡¯t my friend. She never was!
When I opened my eyes again, my eyes returned to calmness and indifference. I looked at Feng Xiao. He didn¡¯t look at me. Instead, he held Nn Zhu¡¯s hand tightly. Their hands intertwined together. At this moment, it was so offending to the eyes, so much that my heart hurt.
¡°You already know who I am, right?¡± Although I was only fourteen, almost fifteen, but my voice had some maturity that was inconsistent with my age. It was also slightly hoarse for not speaking for a long time.
¡°Yes.¡± Feng Xiao raised his head. His purple eyes were cold and cheerless without a trace of waves. It made me scared. He knowing it was one thing, but he admitting it was another thing. It seemed that my road to revenge was a failure from the beginning.
¡°Then why did you bring me back? Why did you carry me in your arms?¡± I shouted hysterically.
Feng Xiao would never know that that hug of his was the driving force for me in these past years. He who was so clean and beautiful and didn¡¯t bother with the dirt on my body. When he held me, it reminded me of the embrace of royal father. It was also that kind of warmness and refreshing.
¡°Because you¡¯re thest princess of the dynasty.¡±
I didn¡¯t understand Feng Xiao¡¯s words at the beginning. Just untilter, I understood it.
After being imprisoned in Ting Fo nunnery, only then did I know about a lot of things from the past. Because of Feng Xiao¡¯s one sentence ¡®young children are innocent¡¯, Ming Yue Cheng gave up on tracking my whereabouts. He (FX) brought me back because he wanted to keep the bloodline of the Ming family. In order to protect him (FX), imperial uncle had executed too many people. Feng Xiao wasn¡¯t a cold-hearted person. He didn¡¯t want Ming Yue Cheng to carry too many bad names on his back. That was why he (FX) took me back to the Eastern Pce. However, in the end, I failed Feng Xiao who had given me the opportunity.
The person who told me these things was Feng Huang. When she came to see me, she was already the bride of Ming Yue Cheng. I saw a never before seen happiness in Feng Huang¡¯s face. That sweet smile diluted the mncholy that she had for years. Seeing her happiness, I was really happy for her.
¡°Rong Hua, Cheng (MYC) has retained your title. If you want, you can leave here anytime and start a new life. My brother will help you!¡±
When Feng Huang left, the door of Ting Fo nunnery that had been closed for many years was never locked again. Looking at the open world outside, I knew that they had given me freedom.
In the days at Ting Fo nunnery, I felt an unprecedented peace in my heart. Living in revenge for so many years, I had forgotten my age. I¡¯m now only eighteen years old. It was the best years of life. It was just that seeing the world outside, I couldn¡¯t take a step out.
Perhaps this was my best destination. Only listening to the Buddhist sound, I could let my soul that was immersed in hatred get a moment of peacefulness.
