The beauty is endless

Chapter 10 Night Detective
"You mean—the person you're looking at is Wei Nange?"

Ji Che raised his head from a stack of letters. Although his expression was as calm as before, Murong Qi could still hear his surprise from his slightly rising tail.

But before she had time to explain, Ji Che asked, "Do you want to marry him?"

This is too jumpy, she rubbed her forehead: "You think too far, and what I just said was 'seem to like him', can you not ignore the two key words 'like'?"

Ji Che raised his eyebrows, and said flatly, "Almost."

Murong Qi pressed the throbbing blue veins on his forehead, it's almost the same, it's a lot worse, okay?

Ji Che lowered his eyelashes slowly, and said, "This is your business, you don't need to tell me."

He didn't seem to be too interested in this matter, and continued to process the letter with his head buried, circling the charcoal pen from time to time in his hand.Although Murong Qi is familiar with him, they rarely see each other these few years.Until now, she seemed to really feel that the person sitting in front of her was the leader of a gang - two thick black and slender eyebrows slightly frowned, straight nose bridge, tight mouth corners, a few strands of black hair falling down from the sideburns, The earbuds that half covered the gloomy light—this kind of him overlapped with the strict and indifferent young man in her memory, and for some reason, he looked a little strange.

She pursed her lips a little aggrieved: "Didn't I treat you as a close friend in my boudoir?"

"I'm very busy now." He said in a calm tone, "Besides, turn right when you go out and you will find the capital's mansion. It's better to talk to the person concerned about your concerns."

"Why do you have the nerve to tell the client about this kind of thing..." Murong Qi muttered softly, she could hear the impatience in his tone, which made her a little embarrassed and sad.Although he is indeed far from the image of a close friend in a boudoir, has she ever really had a friend who can discuss her thoughts?She excitedly came to discuss with him, and finally got such a response, after all, she still felt a little heartless.

Seeing that he didn't raise his head, she also felt bored, so she could only say: "Then you are busy, I won't bother you." After that, she turned and left, and before leaving, she thoughtfully closed the door for him.

As soon as the door was closed, Ji Che raised his head, stared at it for a while, then lowered his head to pick up the charcoal pencil, opened a new page of the letter, read it for a while, but didn't even finish a line.He simply stood up and walked to the window. Outside the window was the dense spring scenery of pink willows and green, but he couldn't see half of it.

Is she angry?

Maybe, should, be disappointed?
However, he really couldn't give her any advice calmly.

Feeling an indescribable depression in his heart, he stood alone for a long while without any clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.Turn around and continue reading the letter.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow quietly passed through the streets and sneaked into the capital's mansion.

Wei Nange is the grandson of the current prime minister. He should have lived in the prime minister's mansion, but he holds an important position and is the prince's confidant. It is inevitable that there will be some secrets that need to be kept out of the public eye. In order not to cause trouble for the old prime minister who is about to retire, Wei Nange will Also set up a house.The mansion of the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion is not as good as the Prime Minister's mansion. Wei Nange is low-key, the mansion has only three courtyards and two courts, and the layout is mainly simple and elegant.

The black shadow was crouching on the roof of the main house at the moment. In the night, a pair of glazed eyes reflecting the moonlight was Ji Che.

Murong Qi originally made an appointment with him to exchange information about Fengyou Palace this afternoon, but she didn't show up until dinner time.He ate silently in front of a table of dishes, without saying a word, but the grass and trees within a radius of one foot were chilling, and no one dared to approach.

Guo Zichen didn't like it, so he hurriedly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and didn't forget to say a few words of comfort before he slipped away.

"Young master, Miss Murong will always marry, and you can't watch her forever, just get used to it sooner."

He froze for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and fell into deep thought.

——Is that so?Just because... not used to it?

What Guo Zichen said made some sense. From childhood, he was used to taking care of this pair of brothers and sisters who were always causing trouble. One day, the little girl said that she no longer needed his care and wanted to find someone else she could rely on. When I was a human being—that kind of feeling, probably very similar to a father whose daughter is about to marry, who will become strict because of inexplicable loss—it should be like this.

No matter how ungentle or virtuous she is, she is a woman after all, and a woman will always marry someone. As for whether this man is Wei Nange or Wei Beige, what does it matter to him?
He is just her friend, and because of the friendship she grew up with, it would be considered as benevolent to help appraise that man's character.

Thinking about this, he decided to go to Wei Nange's residence at night to have a look around.

He has been living in Jianghu since he was a child. Although he has countless channels to know the affairs of the world, because of his status and temperament, he has never paid much attention to the intrigues and ups and downs in the court. middle.But even though Murong Jiu is stubborn, he is a delicate and kind-hearted person. In his opinion, although Wei Nange has a gentle and dignified appearance, he acts ruthlessly and decisively. It is still very difficult to win him.

Unless he has taken a fancy to her beauty, but if this is the case, it may not be a good thing for Murong Qi.

Taking this trip, he just wanted to see what Wei Nange was like in his private time outside the court hall.

Just as he was about to lift the roof tiles, a bell rang in his ears.He stopped and turned around to look, only to see a green felt carriage parked at the back door. The carriage was very inconspicuous, no different from the rented carriages running all over the street.

But at a glance, he still saw something strange.

The carriage is ordinary, but the driver is not ordinary.The man was slender and thin, with a white and beardless face. Although he was wearing men's coarse clothes, no matter whether he was swinging the whip or dismounting from the horse, there was always a powdery smell. If he didn't miss him, he should be the father-in-law from the palace.

He simply found a shelter from the wind, sat down and waited.

The father-in-law in disguise respectfully pulled out a person from the car. The person was wearing a big cloak, covering his entire body tightly, but his steps were swaying and light. He should be a young woman.

A hint of amusement flashed in Ji Che's eyes, and he followed the woman's figure into the back door, passed through the flowers and trees in the back garden, and finally disappeared behind a pink and white shadow wall.

He stepped down and followed silently.

Behind the shadow wall is a small living room with wide open windows on all sides, facing the main scene in the garden. There is a piano on the table by the window, and a stone table and two stone benches in the middle of the room. There are chess boards and chess baskets, and tea sets on the small table beside the table. At this moment, the light in the house is dimly lit, and the tea is boiling on the red clay stove.

Ji Che found a big tree to hide his figure, and looked at Wei Nange who was sitting at the table sifting tea leaves from a distance. He was dressed in a snow-green plain robe, and he was very elegant. His eyebrows were warm, and he was indeed Murong Qi's favorite. appearance.

After a while, the woman just pushed the door open and entered alone. While taking off the heavy cloak, she sat down on the stone bench opposite him.The voice was as cold as a yellow warbler out of the valley: "It's cool at night, but here is transparent on all sides. Is this your way of hospitality?"

Ji Che leaned sideways on the tree trunk and looked over by the moonlight. He saw the woman with unpainted makeup, clear eyebrows, and a lotus-colored skirt, which was so fragile that she was as delicate and refined as a moonlit orchid. She was just like the Murong brothers and sisters. This kind of natural evildoer, winking eyes like silk misfortune looks are two extremes.

Wei Nange picked up the iron pot on the stove, slowly poured boiling water on the purple clay pot, and said slowly: "The officials said that we shouldn't meet each other, but the princess just refuses to remember."

"So you pretended to find such a place to avoid suspicion?" The woman sneered softly, "Wei Nange, do you think that you can stay out of the matter just by saying that you don't see each other again? You owe me, and this life will never end!"

With a light flick of his slender fingers, a few drops of boiling water fell on the ground. After a while, he sighed softly: "I know."

With this sigh, Ji Che's back straightened slightly. He did not expect to meet the Crown Princess Yin Zilan during a night visit on a whim, and it was a worthwhile trip.

He had also heard about Wei Nange's entanglements with Yin Zilan when they were young, but he was not as nosy as Murong Qi, so he never delved into it.Unexpectedly, after so many years, the status and status of the two of them have been changed, but there is still an affair in private. No wonder Wei Nange is a general, but has not yet married his first wife... He thought of Murong Qi's flushed cheeks, and couldn't help squinting his eyes , although he secretly scolded her for being an idiot in his heart, he wanted to beat Wei Nange straight up.

In the abode, after a brief silence, Yin Zilan had returned to normal, with lowered eyebrows, she said gracefully and calmly: "I came here in person today to ask how the Fengyou Palace is going."

"The lower officials have already made arrangements. If there are no accidents, you should be able to see Mr. Feng in the next few days."

"Where is King Xin?"

"He never had any suspicions."

After saying this, Wei Nange was about to get up to pour tea when the back of his hand suddenly felt warm, but was held down by Yin Zilan.Looking at the beautiful snow-white hand covering the back of his hand, he couldn't help being taken aback, Yin Zilan said softly, "Let me do it."

Before he agreed, she had already picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup, three ups and downs, graceful movements, the tea soup was clear and full of fragrance.

Gently picked up a glass and put it in front of him, she said softly: "A few days ago, when your Highness was drunk, he brought up the agreement with King Xin, hesitating and distressed in words. The enthronement ceremony will be in a few days No matter what, this matter has to be decided no matter what, so he is now in a dilemma, I am watching, and I feel uncomfortable for him."

Wei Nange's face froze slightly, and then said: "What should the princess do if she wants to be dismissed?"

"Why are you so out of touch?" She smiled softly, "We've known each other for so many years, how come you don't know what I want to do? Your Highness cares about the brotherhood, has a kind heart, and doesn't want to break the oath. There are too many secrets, and there are people who cannot be avoided. Therefore, what he needs most now is someone to do things for him that he can't do in person. Nan Ge, you are His Highness's most trusted courtier, and Prince Xin Old friend, it is most appropriate to entrust this matter to you."

Hearing these words, Wei Nange didn't answer immediately, and the expression on his face was also a little uncertain. After pondering for a long time, he said: "I can do this, but Prince Xin..."

Before she could speak, Yin Zilan pressed her lips with her hand. She looked around, stood up, and closed the windows one by one.

The two people in the house were immediately isolated, and their voices were extremely low. No matter how good Ji Che's hearing was, he couldn't hear a word.

But he was not in a hurry to leave, his straight back slowly relaxed, his eyes turned to the bright moon in the middle sky, although his posture was lazy, the brilliance in his eyes was very cold.

It seems that I heard something extraordinary...

Although their intentions cannot be heard from just a few words, but two things are certain: first, Wei Nange and Yin Zilan are inseparable and have an ambiguous relationship; second, there is an agreement between Murong Jiu and the prince that he does not know. And because of this agreement, they planned to harm Murong Jiu.

But now, Murong Qi is the one who stays in the capital as "Murong Jiu, King of Xinjun".

Only these two points are enough for him to make a judgment - Wei Nange is definitely not a good match for Murong Qi.Not only must he stop her thoughts as soon as possible, but he must also let her recognize the current situation and take precautions as soon as possible.
