frivolous princess

Chapter 224 She Is My Cousin

Envoy Li cupped his hands and said with a smile: "When the little princess passed by the Weishui area a few days ago, she was attracted by the local customs and customs, and she couldn't bear to return. She said she would stay for a few days before she was willing to leave for Yanjing City."

A deep look flashed in Nangong Lieyan's eyes. Weishui is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River and the prosperous economic center of Beichen.Is Harajuku Qingfeng's stay there really just because of Harajuku Xiaoxiao's temporary pleasure?

Nangong Lieyan smiled calmly, and said: "Princess Xiaoxiao always likes to join in the fun, and the place of Jieshui is very suitable for visiting because of its outstanding people. It doesn't matter if I wait a few more days."

He smiled, and said again: "Master Li has come from a long way, please stay at the house temporarily, and wait for the prince and the little princess to come together."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Li Envoy smiled. "It is not appropriate to visit late at night. If you stay in the residence of the eldest son, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. I have already brought it to the post and rested for a while. It’s late, and I’m going to leave tomorrow morning to meet the prince and the little princess.”

"Since this is the case, I will not force you. Master Li, the journey is easy."

Envoy Li exchanged some polite words with him, then got into the carriage and galloped away.

In the dim night, a cold light flashed in Nangong Lieyan's eyes. He stood there, quietly watching the carriage gradually disappear into the night.

A hidden guard with a knife jumped down from the wall, knelt on one knee and said, "Young Master."

Nangong Lieyan stared at the front without focusing, and said in a cold voice: "Keep an eye on him. Be smart, don't let him find out."

The guard responded, and quickly jumped up the wall, sprinting like the wind over the corrugated wall, and soon disappeared.

Harajuku has a strong national strength and is the most capable of contending with Beichen among the four continents.Border affairs have been turbulent for several years, and what Harajuku has in mind is already clearly revealed.This time the birthday of Empress Dowager Beichen, the crown prince had said something first, but in the end he only sent an envoy to celebrate her birthday.

Harajuku Qingfeng has always been too proud, but Nangong Lieyan never thought that even such a big event as the queen mother's birthday would be ignored by him, and he actually used Harajuku Xiaoxiao as a shield.

Nangong Lieyan snorted coldly in his heart, he really underestimated Beichen Kingdom!
Nangong Lieyan stood in the wind for a while, then asked someone to lead a horse out of the stable in the backyard, and drove the horse to the "Qing Ming Gang" in the suburbs.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Yun Tianyao leisurely raising his feet, drinking fine wine.

"Young Master Yun, it's so quiet in the dead of night, so elegant!" Nangong Lieyan teased.

Yun Tianyao shook his wine glass and said: "My lord sees the moonlight tonight is bright and clear. It's such a good night. You should have a drink."

Nangong Lieyan really looked back. There were only rocky corridors and rock walls behind him, and there were no windows. How could he see the moonlight outside?
Nangong Lieyan smiled and said, "I see, it's not as simple as coming to admire the moon."

Yun Tianyao didn't answer him in a hurry, but picked up another glass, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "The painting that Miss San gave to the Queen Mother yesterday is really good."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Nangong Lieyan frowned, went to sit opposite him, and drank the glass of wine.

"I was in the palace yesterday, and I met a man. He was the guard of my second uncle's house, but later, I don't know what happened, and he became a eunuch in the palace." He paused, and continued with a serious face: " He told me something yesterday."

"what's up?"

"He said that Shangguan Fuxue looks like a person."

"who?"

Yun Tianyao didn't answer him directly, but said: "You know, our Yun family has been in Lieyan Kingdom before. My grandfather moved here because of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Beichen Kingdom. But my second uncle still stayed in Lieyan Kingdom. He has a daughter named Yunli. She ran away from home because she escaped marriage before, and there was no news about her. After our two families separated, we seldom contacted each other. So, this was the first day I knew about it."

"I had someone check it out. Shangguan Fuxue's mother happened to be called Yunli. She fled all the way to the border of Beichen Kingdom and was rescued by General Shangguan who was guarding the border at that time. General Shangguan fell in love with her at first sight, and the two later became friends. Then we got married."

Nangong Lieyan looked astonished, "According to what you said, you can still become her 'cousin'?"

Yun Tianyao poured another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and nodded with a bitter expression.

Nangong Lieyan gave him a blank look, and said, "Don't put on a sad expression, I really can't think of a reason for you to show such an expression."

"I, I, I..." Yun Tianyao was anxious, "Can't I have mixed feelings? How should I put it, this incident happened too suddenly!"

"What's so sudden?" Nangong Lieyan laughed again and again disapprovingly, "Even if she is your cousin, there is no harm. It has no effect on your life."

"What do you know?!" Yun Tianyao drank another glass of wine, "When I rescued her back then, I didn't realize that she was my 'cousin'! What a surprise!"

"Then are you crying from joy? Or is it from sadness?" Nangong Lieyan said leisurely.

"I want you to take care of it!" Yun Tianyao scolded childishly, and started crying regardless.

"Are these three words the catchphrase of your family?"

Yun Tianyao rolled his eyes at him, put away the tears that didn't come out at all, and changed the subject: "The envoys from the Harajuku Kingdom went to the Chu Palace and looked for you?"

Nangong Lieyan nodded, "Harajuku Qingfeng is so proud that he can even miss the Queen Mother's birthday. It's so strange for such a big country to break promises and disrespect. I have already sent someone to follow that envoy."

"But according to the received news, Harajuku Qingfeng was playing with the little princess Harajuku Xiaoxiao all the way, and she didn't do anything unusual." Yun Tianyao frowned.

Nangong Lieyan shook his head and said: "Harajuku Qingfeng is a cunning person, and he is also a smart person. He will not be stupid enough to miss an appointment on this kind of thing. Although I didn't attend, the reason for my absence was perfunctory like a provocation."

He paused, and narrowed his eyes coldly, "It's like he's throwing stones to ask for directions, testing Beichen Kingdom's reaction."

"I know that Harajuku Qingfeng has always been ambitious. If what he sees along the way is just an illusion, then he is hiding too deeply. Our spies have been following him for so long, but they didn't even see him." come out."

Nangong Lieyan's face suddenly turned cold, and he pondered: "Maybe...he knows that someone is following him."

Yun Tianyao frowned, "If this is the case, it will be troublesome."

Nangong Lieyan quickly shook his head and said: "There are countless gangs in the world that collect information. He may not know that our people are following him. Besides, in his eyes, I have always been a businessman. Mostly he is a profit-seeking person and will not pose too much threat to him."

Yun Tianyao nodded in agreement, "Although there are many intelligence collectors in the world, there are very few who can be as meticulous as ours." He thought for a while, and then said: "I have something that I have been unable to understand. Beichen Kingdom Why do you have to take care of it? Go back and be your prince, okay?"

Nangong Lieyan heard the words, but just shook his head in a daze, his eyes were empty and far away, as if stuck in some kind of memory, after a long time, he said lightly: "You don't understand."

"I don't understand?" Yun Tianyao suddenly laughed, and soon he waved his hands helplessly and said, "Actually, I understand. You are for your mother, the eldest princess of Beichen Kingdom."

Hearing what he said, Nangong Lieyan fell into an unspeakable sadness. Up to now, he still can't believe that the person who used to be beautiful and caring has left him forever.He will never eat the delicacies made by her, he will never see her leading him to dance in the snow, he will never smell the reassuring smell in her arms... nothing will go back up.

"Stop talking." Nangong Lieyan took a deep breath and interrupted him. His chest was full of choked pain, and even his breathing was trembling.

Yun Tianyao showed a trace of sympathy, and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to mention this." He hurriedly changed the subject, and said, "Actually, I came today to find information on Liang Muhua and Liang Musheng."

Nangong Lieyan's breath was still unstable, he suppressed his headache for a while, and said, "You mean to say that Liang Muhua will be taken to the prime minister's mansion to recuperate tomorrow?"

Yun Tianyao spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I really like Shangguan Fuxue."

Nangong Lieyan's eyes shrank sharply, and Yun Tianyao hurriedly explained: "I mean, it's a very pure kind of liking. I think, since we are friends, she has become my cousin now. Do I also care about her? Should you be concerned?"

Nangong Lieyan said impatiently: "Let's get to the point."

"The point is, if Liang Muhua goes to Liang Musheng, Liang Musheng will have nothing to worry about. It will be easier for him to deal with Shangguan Fuxue."

Nangong Lieyan smiled disapprovingly, "Remember last time you said that the relationship between Liang Muhua and Liang Musheng was a bit ambiguous?"

"Remember." Yun Tianyao nodded, his eyes flickered, "You want to start with this?"

Nangong Lieyan shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's not that I want to start from this aspect, I believe that someone has already thought of starting from this aspect."

Yun Tianyao half-closed his eyes with a smirk, "You mean - her?"

Nangong Lieyan also nodded with a smirk.

Yun Tianyao rubbed his hands excitedly, "Now, there's another good show to watch."

General House

The night was even deeper, Shangguan Fuxue stood in front of the window, thinking of something, staring at the scenery outside the window, dazed.

Suddenly soft footsteps sounded behind her, she frowned, her thoughts returned, but she didn't look back, she just said coldly: "Is the matter settled?"

Silhouette nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss. Everything has been settled."

A strange smile slowly floated on Shangguan Fuxue's face. Under the pale moonlight, there was no warmth at all, like a lifeless ghost, which made people shudder.

After a while, she finally said slowly, "It's time for her to pay with blood."
