Chapter 126 Monstrous jealousy (2)
writer:Du.xian.er      update:2022-06-28 15:23
  “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 plan 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 of complex 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 become old, but his bearing was still out of the ordinary and didn’t show an old state.   

  “Uncle, I like this Long Autumn palace very much. In the future, I will come 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 palace. Wanyan Lie accompanied by her side. He introduced everything of Long Autumn palace to her. When they arrived at the place where Yue Lan Zhi had previously lived, Murong Qi Qi discovered that this place had been sealed off.   

  “You said it was bad luck, so zhen1 let people seal it. Anyway, this place is big. You could choose any place 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 palace with Wanyan Lie.   

  Although, she’d entered the palace 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 palace, she had been sent out of the palace 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 place 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 plan. 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 blame 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 the complex 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 glared 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 place, 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 explained, “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 blame 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 softly comforted 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 become 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 you come 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’t comprehend 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 fragrance coming 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 Tian laugh 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 mouth completely. 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 place.   

  \r   \r   \r   

  “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 bit late. 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 glared 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 become 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 become a bit better, “In any case, I don’t want a popularized 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 clapped 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 become 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 Nalan Xin to the study.   

  “Go, go investigate wangfei’s identity.” The moment Nalan Xin entered, Feng Cang threw a piece of paper at Nalan Xin. After reading the contents, Nalan 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 explain 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 relationship? 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, Nalan 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’d come 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 black to white and white to black, Nalan 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 Cang commanded 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 regret coming 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 palace/ I, used by females of the imperial family   

  7. Wangfei: main consort/wife of the prince of first rank   

  8. Gongzi: young master   

  9. Jianghu: world of martial arts

  Chapter 127 The Fight of the dragon and the phoenix (1)   

  Nalan 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 – 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 Nalan 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? Nalan 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, Nalan 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? Nalan 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 accept that wangfei was Du Xian Er.   

  However, after thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t difficult to find the similarities 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 manipulate 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 uncomfortable in his heart.   

  “Wangye, I’m afraid that it’s not very good to touch Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. It seems……”   

  Nalan 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 Nalan Xin stunned. He was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, Nalan 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?! Nalan Xin almost fainted. Just now, he wanted to persuade Feng Cang to consider the balance 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 the commoners? 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 mainland completely, 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 place with a mistress, there would be no place who didn’t love Tong Bai Zhai and Jue Se Fang. Even the empress dowager in the palace 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 Nalan 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!” Nalan 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? Nalan Xin couldn’t help but stare at Feng Cang’s head……   

  Green hat: cuckhold   

  Nalan 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, Nalan 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 become a famous couple of the jianghu. How could Feng Cang accept 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 Nalan 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 to communicate more, communicate 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’s complex expression, Nalan 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 related 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 accept. 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 heart come 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, Nalan 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’t come 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, Nalan 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 yawned lazily, “You returned!”   

  This sentence let Feng Cang’s mood become 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.   

  \r   \r   \r   

  “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 particularly incompetent 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 blanket 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 blame 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 came late. 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.   

  “Little lazy 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 palace. In the future, let’s don’t go anymore! Lest to not get a headache after seeing those people!”   

  Feng Cang’s words successfully 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 Nalan Xin said, be frank, communicate……   

  “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 become 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 relationship 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 become 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 Cang comes 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 of combing her hair over from Su Mei and Su Yue. Although he couldn’t do complicated 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, accompanied 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 accepted to marry cousins with the same surname. However, it was accepted to marry cousins from the maternal line (cousins with different surnames).   

  But later, seeing that Feng Cang treated Murong Qi Qi with his whole heart, these two gradually accepted it.   

  Siblings being lovers was against human relations. 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 Qi laughed, “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 the laughter in her eyes couldn’t deceive people.   

  Su Yue laughed 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’t laugh 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 Nalan 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, Nalan Xin stared at her back for a long time. While looking, he also laughed 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 explained to Murong Qi Qi, “Miss, it’s not like that! That night, teacher Nalan 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, “Nalan 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 explain, but she didn’t know how to say it. Now, Su Mei was happy. She applauded at a side, “Miss, why don’t you be Yue Lao and pull a red string to let them become a pair. How great!”   

  Yue Lao: the god of marriage   

  “Great, you ass!” Su Yue was pressed to much. She finally uttered foul language. “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’t laugh 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)   

  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’ve come 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 relation 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 to laugh and also become 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 become wet. They nodded.   

  This scene fell in Nalan 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, Nalan 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, Nalan 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 Nalan Xin came up with.   

  “Miss, look, Nalan Xin is secretly staring at Su Yue again!” Su Mei had sharp eyes. With one look, she saw Nalan Xin. She immediately stabbed Murong Qi Qi at her side, “Like I said, Nalan 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 Nalan Xin indeed have a few encounters. However, they didn’t talk much and only nodded at each other, nothing more. Nalan Xin’s character was not bad. It was just, Su Yue doesn’t know if she liked him or not.   

  Seeing Nalan Xin appear, Murong Qi Qi laughed. It seemed that there was a chance. Why doesn’t she play 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 blatant. It was like, you stay outside for a bit longer. Even if you don’t come 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.”   

  Nalan Xin was far. He didn’t hear what Murong Qi Qi said. Seeing Su Yue leave, he also followed.   

  Nalan Xin following Su Yue confirmed Murong Qi Qi and Su Mei’s thoughts. The two exchanged a glance and laughed. 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 been completed.   

  Nalan 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 indeed communicated 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 Nalan 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 Nalan, what are you doing here?” When Nalan 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 Nalan 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 more comfortable 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……,” Nalan 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 uncomfortable.   

  Could he be possessed? Nalan Xin patted his forehead. How silly he could look like, was how silly he looked like now.   

  Seeing Nalan 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, Nalan Xin’s face turned red. Like avoiding plague, he stepped back, “That, I’ll go first. I still have something to do!”   

  Not waiting for Su Yue to speak, Nalan 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 Nalan Xin didn’t like her? Otherwise, why would he escape so fast?   

  At the other side, Nalan 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, Nalan 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 to come 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 planned. 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 accept the celebration.   

  As the only person who had a blood relationship with her in this world, Murong Qi Qi was very respectful towards Dongfang Lan. Early in the morning, Murong Qi Qi arrived at Jinxuan palace. These past few days, aside from staying in the wangfu, she also came to Jinxuan palace to accompany 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 to come 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 palace maids at a side, almost fell out.   

  \r   \r   \r   

  “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 palace 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 palace 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 palace, 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 black 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 flashed 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 Hong laugh. 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’d come 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 particularly handsome and charming……”   

  Feng Cang was happy from the bottom of his heart. Because today, Nalan 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 flaws. 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 palace banquet was finished, Nalan Xin would also have done everything successfully. 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 to complete what he couldn’t personally accomplish.   

  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 to compete 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!
