The beauty is endless

Chapter 6 Brother and Sister
Wei Nange still looked leisurely, bent down to pick up the dropped tea cup, took a new cup from the saucer, and placed it gently in front of Murong Qi.

Murong Qi stared at those slender and beautiful hands, secretly glad that he didn't say the embarrassing words "I have a younger sister who can marry you" just now.

When she raised her head again, her complexion returned to normal, and although her voice remained the same, the coquettish and lazy look that belonged to Murong Jiu was removed from her eyes, she looked at him with some curiosity, and said, "How did Master Wei see that?" of?"

She is tall and tall, half a head taller than ordinary women, while Xiao Jiu is not yet a weak crown, her stature has not grown, and coupled with her lack of martial arts training, her figure is not burly.As long as she puts on thicker and looser clothes, changes the face line with a little disguise, puts on a fake Adam's apple, and uses pills to change her voice, even Gong Zizhao and those who are very close to Xiao Jiu can't tell the truth from the fake.

Except for Ji Che, of course...

But how did Wei Nange, who was unfamiliar with both of them, do it?
The corner of Lord Shoufu's mouth raised that gentle smile that moved Murong Qi's heart: "I don't have any special talents, but the prince told me before leaving that after this farewell, the next time I come back may not be he himself."

Murong Qi stumbled and almost dropped the teacup in his hand again.

Wei Nange saw her reaction in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I didn't understand what he meant by this sentence before, but I really understood when I saw the princess at Prince Tanhua's mansion that day—the princess's disguise is enough It's true, but the prince's martial arts are not very good, if he was hiding in the tree and peeping, he must not be able to climb down the tree so quickly by himself."

When Murong Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he was right, this point was indeed her mistake.

But it seems that the relationship between Xiao Jiu and him is not just a simple acquaintance.She looked at him and couldn't help asking: "Master Wei, aren't you afraid? I'm a 'dead man'!"

Wei Nange shook his head and said, "Aren't you living a good life now?"

"Aren't you going to report me?"

Wei Nange still shook his head, and said with a slight smile, "Since Princess Yan Rong is already dead, how can there be any reason for her resurrection?"

Two questions, two sentences, but he used two different titles of "you" and "Princess Yanrong". An accident? Did you know that I was not dead? What else did Xiao Jiu tell you?"

Wei Nange smiled and said nothing, just holding the pot to add tea, Murong Qi waited for a long time for the answer, but was attracted by his smooth and elegant movements, almost fascinated.

"...Princess? Princess Yanrong?"

She recovered from her calm voice, and smiled: "Just call me 'Qiqi'. You are Xiaojiu's friend, that is, my friend." She paused, then continued, "As for you The purpose of coming to me is—I can swear to God that I will never tell anyone about what I saw that day. But there are some things you should think about clearly. Yin Zilan has been married to Murong Zheng for several years, and her son is already two years old. Year-old, I don't know what happened between you two, but don't do that again in the future, if someone sees it, you won't be as easy-talking as I am. Murong Zheng looks useless, but he is actually stingy. Moreover, he will be the emperor soon. You must know better than me what the consequences will be."

Wei Nange quietly listened to her unscrupulously commenting on the current crown prince and his privacy, but he didn't get angry, let alone embarrassed. He kept smiling, and his deep brown pupils were dotted with light.

"There won't be a next time, but thank you anyway—" He waited for her to finish speaking, then said softly, "—Qiqi."

What to do, suddenly feel very happy.Murong Qi quietly pressed his hand to his heart that was beating wildly, held it back, but still couldn't hold it back: "Actually, there are many good girls in this world, you can see them everywhere except looking behind..."

"I understand." Wei Nange looked at her with gentle eyes, but Murong Qi felt a little embarrassed for some reason, and hurriedly stood up to cover up: "It's getting late, I have to go."

"Wait a minute." He also stood up, "I invited Qi Qi here today not to expose your true identity, let alone to exchange for my promise to keep it secret, but...to ask for something else .”

"what's up?"

"About the secret agreement between Prince Xin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Murong Qi paused, turned around to speak, but was interrupted by Wei Nange.

"Since Prince Xin agrees that Qiqi pretends to be him and come to Liaoyang Capital, the two of you must have reached a consensus—it must not be as simple as pretending to be him, eating, drinking and having fun, right?" Wei Nange walked forward slowly until he stopped by her side Before, "Let me take a guess? Is it because he expected the danger of returning to Beijing this time, so he let Qiqi, who is strong in martial arts and has enough ability to protect himself, replace him?"

Murong Qi stared at him for a while with black and white phoenix eyes, and finally sat back, propped his chin and said, "Okay, Mr. Shoufu, we really should have a good talk."

Although she is casual, she thinks she is very principled and has a bottom line in everything, just like although she thinks Wei Nange is very good, it doesn't mean that he can easily touch her bottom line.

Now, this secret is her bottom line.

But Wei Nange's voice still carried a faint smile, and a steady, soothing force: "Don't worry, Qiqi, I'm here to help you."

When the lanterns are in hand, a round of bright moon hangs quietly on the willow branches, and the bright moonlight shines all over the ground.

Murong Qi stared blankly at the round moon, biting the celadon wine glass in his hand with his snow-white teeth.

She has lived for 20 years, and this is the first time she has tossed and turned for one thing.

In the past, when she was uncertain, she always relied on intuition to decide, but this time, even intuition couldn't help her.Because that person is the impeccable Wei Nange.

A few hours ago, Wei Nange hit her to the core with just one sentence——

That's right, after two years, she pretended to be Xiao Jiu and came to Liaoyang Capital, not to revisit the old place to eat, drink and have fun; similarly, Xiao Jiu didn't go back to the county palace, and she didn't really want to pursue Ye Er of Liuyun Castle. Miss.

What it was for, only the two brothers and sisters knew, because the matter was of great importance. This time, they even hid it from their best friend Ji Che.

But Wei Nange...

Master Shoufu's gentle voice sounded in his ears again, like clear flowing water, but every word was like water piercing through stone.

"I know that King Xinjun and His Highness the Crown Prince had a private agreement. As long as the prince helps His Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne, His Highness will protect other clansmen and give him freedom in the future, and the grievances of the fathers will be wiped out."

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, he should have kept his promise back then, but the king's heart is like a sea, and Prince Xin is afraid that His Highness feels remorse, and maybe he doesn't want to let him get away, so he asked Qi Qi to come here instead of him. And he himself, I'm afraid he is thinking of another perfect plan elsewhere?"

……

He spoke with eloquence as if he had seen it with his own eyes.Murong Qi has been pretending to be calm and working hard, but in fact she wanted to rush up and shake his shoulder many times, shouting how do you know?Are you clairvoyant or clairvoyant?
Of course there is no clairvoyant in this world, the only explanation is that he has at least understood some of the secrets, such as the fatal agreement between Xiao Jiu and Murong Zheng.

But this agreement should only be known to the three of them. She and Wei Nange are just acquainted for the first time, so it is naturally not her who leaked the secret. So, who is it?Was it intentional or unintentional?
She really didn't use her brain enough to think about such a thing, so she had no choice but to imitate Ji Che's example, and said in a perfunctory way: "Tell me what you want to do first? "

Wei Nange didn't hold back anymore, and said bluntly: "I can help the prince escape from the shackles of His Highness the Crown Prince as he wished, and the trapped clansmen of your mother clan can also be safe; but on the contrary, please also ask Qiqi to help me."

Murong Qi raised his eyebrows, and said very bluntly: "Master Wei, you are too courageous. This is not good. People who knew too many secrets through the ages died very early."

Wei Nange smiled, "Qiqi, you think highly of me. I'm actually very timid. I'm afraid of many things, but luckily I'm never afraid of death."

He always has a gentle smile, that kind of smile is like his armor, which has never been removed at any time.

Murong Qi turned his head a little unable to look directly, and muttered: "If you're not even afraid of death, what else can you be afraid of?"

"If you say that what I'm most afraid of right now is that Qiqi won't cooperate with me."

"Master Wei... please don't eavesdrop on other people's self-talk, please?"

"Then can we continue the conversation just now?"

"..."

Master Wei, you have won.

Slowly withdrawing her thoughts, Murong Qi took down the porcelain cup that was bruised and bruised by her teeth and put it on the table. She raised her head and sighed. People like Wei Nange who only move their mouths but don't move their hands have always been her natural enemies, so they worked hard all afternoon. , making her feel stressed.

The moonlight tonight seemed extraordinarily bright, a little dizzying. She rubbed her eyes, and many pictures that had been deeply buried in her heart seemed to start shaking and changing before her eyes.That huge secret that she brought to the capital...those not-so-pleasant past events...

Six years ago, Emperor Chongji, who had initially ruled the world, finally decided to target the court, and made eliminating internal troubles a top priority.The one who bears the brunt is Murong Su, the king of faith who once committed the great crime of treason but escaped by death, that is, the father of Murong Qi and Murong Jiu.

Because the person who secretly let Murong Su live was the empress, so Emperor Chongji always turned a blind eye to this matter.But these years, although Lord Xinwang, who was once well-known in the capital, did not trouble the emperor, his powerful wife inherited the Kasyapa Palace in the Far West.Kasyapa Palace is the national protection shrine of Lanruo, the country of ten thousand Buddhas, and the power behind it cannot be underestimated.Thinking of his brother's previous convictions, the insecure emperor couldn't eat or sleep, and finally decided to act first to prevent problems before they happened.

First, he secretly detained the clan members of the Murongsu couple's mother clan, and took these huge clan members as hostages, demanding that the Murongsu couple send their children to Liaoyang Jing to live permanently.The brother and sister entered Beijing secretly when they were 14 years old. Murong Jiu inherited his father's title, but his rank was reduced from a first-class prince to a second-class county king, while Murong Yan was named "Princess Yan Rong" and entered the palace to accompany the empress.

The seemingly infinite reward is actually a disguised imprisonment.This was nothing less than a disaster for the brother and sister, who were used to being lawless since childhood. Therefore, "saving the tribe" and "breaking away from the royal family of Dayou" are rare consensuses reached by the two in the past few years.

The method Murong Jiu chose was very simple - he chose Murong Zheng, who was not outstanding at the time, from among the princes, and persuaded him to reach a private agreement with him - he helped him get the throne, and he gave him back his freedom.

But now, Emperor Chongji was seriously ill, and Murong Zheng was about to succeed to the throne. The promise was finally time to fulfill.

However, Murong Zheng wanted to change his mind.

Speaking of the previous two years, Murong Qi was still willing to play the "gentle, beautiful, and outstandingly talented" Princess Yanrong, squatting in the harem to drink tea, chat, enjoy flowers, and swim in the lake with a group of boring female relatives. The empress's privacy, the noble lady's handle, and then secretly passed on the news, and Xiao Jiuli should cooperate with the outside world.

With their help, in just two years, the invisible war in the previous dynasty finally came to an end with Murong Zheng's successful entry into the Eastern Palace.

But not long after, the empress, who had been depressed all the time, passed away, and Murong Qi's patience with the court had reached its limit. She couldn't wait for Murong Zheng to ascend the throne, so she ran into the East Palace in the dark, drove her cousin around the neck with a knife, and sat down together Drink half the night of tea.

The next day, His Royal Highness the freshly baked Crown Prince approached Emperor Chongji, saying that his dear cousin met His Royal Highness Ju Ze Shizi who was known as "the most beautiful man in the capital" by chance, and he would not marry unless he was the only one.

This led to the later gift of marriage, a seemingly gorgeous wedding that even the groom did not attend, and the "Quxia Rebellion" a month later.

In fact, she didn't even know whether the handsome man in the legend was round or flat. The reasons why she was willing to marry him were, firstly, that he was always a cowardly trash in the eyes of the rich and powerful in the capital; There, I learned that the emperor intends to cut down the vassal and is about to take action.

She finally took advantage of that accident to get away early, and fortunately, she was able to stage Li Daitao's stiff now, so that she had enough time and bargaining chips to deal with Murong Zheng, who had already firmly occupied the position of prince.

In fact, Murong Qi can quite understand this cousin who is famous for his kindness and tolerance—as a member of the royal family, the so-called "gentleness and tolerance" can basically only be heard as a joke.

In the past few years, Xiao Jiu has secretly assisted Murong Zheng, knowing too many secrets, enough to threaten Murong Zheng's throne.With such a serious confidant, it would be fine if he stayed by his side to continue wading through the muddy water, but he chose to retreat bravely and run away with so many secrets. What is the difference between this and hanging a knife on the emperor's head?
If she were Murong Zheng, she would definitely not let Xiao Jiu go.

How could Xiao Jiu not understand something that she could figure out?Although he is a dandy who hangs around all day long and is ignorant and incompetent, he is also an extremely smart dandy after all.So, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, in the name of visiting relatives, he went back to Kasyapa Palace to find her to plot countermeasures.

At that time, she was really depressed by copying Buddhist scriptures, so the two hit it off, and the next day Xiao Jiu took her out of the Kasyapa Palace on the grounds of "taking her sister to relax". work until today.

Everything was going well.

Who knew that a Wei Nange would appear halfway through!

Is he an enemy or a friend?
Should she trust him?Or ignore him?Should he choose to cooperate with him at the risk of being overwhelmed?Or choose to reject his proposal at the risk of being overwhelmed?

It's a real embarrassment.
