Chapter 130 Setting Jue Se Fang on fire (2)
Wanyan Kangs support made Murong Qi Qi give him a big smile. And their interaction fell into Lin Ke Xins eyes, making her hate this younger son even more.
Sure enough, he had a relation with Murong Qi Qi. Now, the emperor had given the right of marriage to Murong Qi Qi. If by chance, she chose Wanyan Kang, then what should she do?! Lin Ke Xin didnt notice, but her eyes, as she looked at Wanyan Kang, had some hate in them now.
Murong Qi Qis phrase without love, how could there be hate completely destroyed the last hope in Longze Jing Tians heart. Her heart had never moved for him; never As if his soul had been pulled from his body, Longze Jing Tian had gone soft. He was escorted back to his seat by Li Yun Qing and Shangguan Wu Ji.
Haha, Wanyan Lie stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Murong Qi Qis braveness made Wanyan Lie like this niece even more! If in the past, Ming Yue could be like her, even if he had to offer his life in sacrifice, he would have been willing to do so!
Longze Jing Tian acting like this, made Wanyan Bao Zhu the saddest person.
After being refused by Longze Jing Tian so publicly, she should have felt ashamed. However, Wanyan Bao Zhu didnt hate Longze Jing Tian. She loved this man and couldnt afford to hate him. Now, the only person Wanyan Bao Zhu resented was Murong Qi Qi. All was because of Murong Qi Qi. Thats why Longze Jing Tian had been humiliated. Thats why she had been rejected by Longze Jing Tian!
Although in her heart, she wished that she could eat Murong Qi Qi, but now Wanyan Bao Zhu had learned how to behave. She didnt reveal any emotions on her face. There was no sadness nor frustration seen on her face because of being rejected by Longze Jing Tian. Instead, she maintained the gentleness an imperial princess should have.
Dont know what little cousin sister Qi Qi has prepared to give imperial grandmother! Wanyan Bao Zhus words hooked the hearts of the people whod wanted to look at a joke, and made them switch their focus back to the main matter.
Seeing that Wanyan Bao Zhus expression remained calm, Murong Qi Qi sneered. Didnt see her for three days, she (WBZ) let her (MQQ) gain a new perspective on her. Murong Xin Lian had become a lot more mature after becoming Wanyan Bao Zhu and didnt act without a brain like before.
Qi Qi already gave aijia1 her gift! Dongfang Lan smiled while showing everyone the jewelries on her body, Qi Qi is really a filial child. She specifically let Guanghua gongzi2 design this Red Phoenix Facing the Sun for aijia. Aijia likes it very much!
Just now, everyones eyes were on Murong Qi Qi. They hadnt paid any attention to Dongfang Lans jewelries. Now that the empress dowager had mentioned it and theyd also heard Guanghua gongzi; all eyes were now focused on Dongfang Lans body.
Guanghua gongzis Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were world famous places. The jewelries were rare there. Plus the fact that Guanghua gongzis character was strange, he would only design one of a kind jewelry. He would never design the same thing twice. So, all the jewelries Tong Bao Zhai sold were unique in this world.
Now, Murong Qi Qi had actually invited Guanghua gongzi to design a Red Phoenix Facing the Sun for Dongfang Lan alone, how much face was that? How much money did that need, ah?!
The womens eyes stared like hungry wolves at the hairpins in Dongfang Lans hair, the earrings in her ears and the bracelets on her wrists. Their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hate. Without at least eight to ten thousand golden teals, you wouldnt be able to get this set!
Although they were already old, but they still had the heart which loved beauty.
Dongfang Lan could read the envy from the eyes of those women. Her mood also got a lot better. Its still granddaughter who was filial and knew what women liked. Even if she was an old woman, she still couldnt put down those jewelries.
Before, when little cousin sister Qi Qi had married, Guanghua gongzi seemed to have bet greatly on little cousin sister. This time, little cousin sister invited Guanghua gongzi to design jewelries specifically for imperial grandmother; it seemed that youre very familiar with each other, ah!
Wanyan Bao Zhu didnt believe Murong Qi Qi. Who was she? She actually could invite Guanghua gongzi. She must be bragging! This jewelry was certainly bought by Feng Cang to let Murong Qi Qi get face!
Guanghua gongzi is a good friend of mine. While saying this, Murong Qi Qi obviously felt Feng Cangs hand that was holding hers, tighten a bit. It was just, she didnt think much of it. She also didnt know that Feng Cang had eaten a lot of vinegar these past few days because of her and Guanghua gongzis gossips.
Since little cousin sister and Guanghua gongzi are good friends, why dont you invite him to come give referrals to us?
He doesnt have time.
Oh? He doesnt have time or is it that little cousin sister simply doesnt know Guanghua gongzi and cannot invite him?
A pigs head is still a pigs headLooking at Wanyan Bao Zhus proud face, Murong Qi Qi sighed. Originally, she thought that after experiencing death once, this woman would get smarter. Just now, she had been praising Wanyan Bao Zhu. She didnt expect that she (WBZ) couldnt stand being praised so much.
Murong Qi Qi didnt answer Wanyan Bao Zhu. Having a conversation with a pig was completely detrimental to her IQ.
Originally, Wanyan Bao Zhu wanted to let Murong Qi Qi unable to extricate herself gracefully. She didnt expect that Murong Qi Qi would simply ignore her. Now, it became her who stood there awkwardly.
Imperial grandmother, today is your birthday. Bao Zhu will present a song for you to liven things up!
Wanyan Bao Zhu was clever once. She used talent to resolve this embarrassment. After Dongfang Lan nodded, someone immediately brought out a zither. Wanyan Bao Zhu sat in front of the zither and played the song .
Wanyan Bao Zhus zither sound was very beautiful. People couldnt help but close their eyes and immerse themselves in the music. When Wanyan Lie looked at his daughter, there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes.
When did Wanyan Bao Zhus zither skills become so superb? Wanyan Lie knew his own daughters personality. Since she was young, Wanyan Bao Zhu was not someone whos well-behaved. Even when practicing zither, she would only practice half-heartedly. However, now the zither skills she was showing would need at least seven to eight years of practice.
Murong Qi Qi accidentally saw the look in Wanyan Lies eyes. It seemed that this emperor had begun to suspect his princess. How should she borrow someone elses hand to expose Wanyan Bao Zhus true face? It would be the best if she could kill two birds with one sword. Otherwise, it would be a wasted opportunity.
Murong Qi Qi was thinking of how to let Wanyan Bao Zhu reveal her original form and Feng Cangs mood had turned very bad.
Wanyan Bao Zhus words let Guanghua gongzi, this thorn, appear in Feng Cangs heart once again. Especially after knowing that Murong Qi Qi had specially invited Guanghua gongzi to design that set of jewelries. Thinking about the fact that they had contacted each other in private, Feng Cang was very unhappy.
Hed already guarded so strictly, so how did that Guanghua gongzi get in contact with Murong Qi Qi? Could it be that they had their own way of contacting? Or was it that for a certain time, Murong Qi Qi went out in secret to meet him?
The thought of Murong Qi Qi showing her beauty to another man, made Feng Cangs heart feel uncomfortable. His eyes also couldnt help but look in the direction outside the palace as if to penetrate through the thick walls to see Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang and whether or not Nalan Xin had successfully finished the matter.
Now, his intention of killing Guanghua gongzi intensified. Anyway, regardless of the consequences, he would fight with Guanghua gongzi first the moment he appears and then they could talk! Now was not the time to be a gentleman. Hes almost losing his woman, what did he need face for?! At worst, he could let the eagle troop annihilate Guanghua gongzi! He didnt believe that Guanghua gongzi could fly away during the tactics between fleshes!
Wanyan Bao Zhus slender fingers circled once on the zithers strings and ended the whole song satisfactorily. Had to say, although this womans personality was bad, but shed still worked hard on her zither skills.
Good, good! Although Wanyan Lie was suspicious of Wanyan Bao Zhu, but he hadnt figured this out yet. So, he still maintained the attitude of a good father and rewarded Wanyan Bao Zhu with a pair of jade carved lions. They were the size of a palm and transparent white. With one look, you would know that they were extremely valuable treasures.
This subject daughter thanks emperor father!
Wanyan Lies reward let Wanyan Bao Zhus vigilance fall down. She had forgotten that her display of zither skills would bring her a killing calamity.
Seeing the smile on Wanyan Bao Zhus face, Murong Qi Qi felt sad for this pig like woman. Didnt you see that the emperor was deliberately holding you highly to let you relax and unmask your true nature?!
Wanyan Bao Zhu wasnt aware of it and Murong Qi Qi wouldnt tell her. This woman was like a tenaciously strong person. Since Wanyan Lie had become suspicious of her, why doesnt she (MQQ) borrow someone elses sword to kill?! Wanyan Bao Zhu had provoked her again and again. She (WBZ) truly saw her (MQQ) as someone soft who she (WBZ) could easily pinch!
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qis mind to turn to the end, Wanyan Bao Zhu once again pointed the gunpoint at her, Imperial grandmother, granddaughter heard that little cousin sister Qi Qis zither skills were superb. Dont know if shes willing to play the zither for grandmother.
My ass! Murong Qi Qi pulled her middle finger to Wanyan Bao Zhu under the table. This woman truly wants a mile after giving her an inch. Why was she (WBZ) always setting her eyes on her (MQQ)?! Could it be that they had an immense feud? Murong Qi Qi had forgotten that Wanyan Bao Zhus mother Zheng Min had died indirectly at her hands.
Oh? Qi Qi also knows how to play the zither? The moment he heard this, Wanyan Lie was very happy. Your mother was a talent. Since youre Ming Yues daughter, you shouldnt be bad!
After Wanyan Lie said this, even if Murong Qi Qi wasnt willing, she couldnt brush Wanyan Lies face. Murong Qi Qi was just about to get up when she heard noises from outside the hall.
Whats the matter? Wanyan Lie frowned. Jing De quickly trotted away. After a short while, he trotted back. Answering emperor, it was some palace maids who were talking that Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang are on fire
What?! Murong Qi Qi stood up with a look of surprise. How come? How come Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were on fire? How could this be?! With Fang Kui and Fang Tong there, how could something happen?!
Murong Qi Qis attitude once again made it difficult to bear for Feng Cang. Is she now worried about Guanghua gongzi? What is the relationship between them?
Its only a shop that caught fire. What is the big fuss about?!
Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Murong Qi Qis expression, but her heart was thinking about another thing. What was she pretending about? Pretending that she had a good relation with Guanghua gongzi and pretending to care about him; was it to improve her own worth? Really shameless. Needs to rely on men for everything!
Wanyan Lie was also very surprised that something had happened to Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai. Although Guanghua gongzi was someone from the jianghu,3 but he had a great reputation. The women of the harem also liked the jewelries from his shop very much. Now, hearing that the two places were on fire, it was very surprising.
The most anxious ones on the scene were the uncountable concubines and consorts and also those ladies from dignified families. The moment they heard that something had happened to those two places, the women got anxious. There was so many beautiful jewelry there, ah! There were also a lot of gorgeous dresses there, ah! Who did it? That person must definitely be jealous of Guanghua and thats why that person did such a despicable thing!
The talks of the women in the end spread to Wanyan Lies ears.
Murong Qi Qi was anxious like ants in a wok!
The people in Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang were killers of Moyu. Something happening to these two places at the same time, could it be an enemy had come for revenge? Fang Kui and Fang Tongs abilities werent bad. They actually let people set fire to the shop; the other party must be very powerful!
Now, Murong Qi Qi wished that she could fly out of the palace immediately and go look at how the people of Moyu are! Living together for five years, Murong Qi Qi had long taken Moyu as her own home. Now, there were difficulties at her home and she didnt know what happened to her brothers; how could she continue sit here indifferently?!
Murong Qi Qis anxiousness made Feng Cangs heart turn cold. Sure enough, shes still very concerned about Guanghua gongzi. So, the moment she had heard the news, she would be nervous like this. For a time, a breath seemed to choke in Feng Cangs chest. It couldnt go up and pressed very powerfully.
Uncle, I want to go take a look at Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai! Murong Qi Qi couldnt wait a moment longer. Those were her brothers. If they were truly killed by the enemy, what should they do?! No! She must go there as fast as possible and see what had happened!
Everyone thought that the emperor definitely wouldnt agree to Murong Qi Qi leaving the empress dowagers birthday banquet. Even if youre good friends with Guanghua gongzi, you didnt need to be worried like this!
However, that was only the mens thoughts. The womens hearts had already flown out of the palace. Now, they stood at Murong Qi Qis side. They hoped that Murong Qi Qi could go and inquire what had happened. They hoped that those treasures and beautiful dresses were not all burned!
Alright! Go! When everyone thought that Wanyan Lie wouldnt agree, they didnt expect that he would suddenly nod. What let people be more surprised was that not only did Wanyan Lie agree to let Murong Qi Qi go, he also personally explained to Dongfang Lan, Empress mother, look, this Guanghua gongzi helped Qi Qi design a set of jewelry for you. Now a friend is in difficulties, why dont you let Qi Qi go take a look?!
Dongfang Lan was not someone unreasonable. Granddaughter was already so anxious. Of course, she was not happy to see that. Besides, Guanghua gongzis reputation wasnt bad and seeing that anxious expression on Murong Qi Qi, maybe they were not ordinary friends. A girl knowing some excellent guys was also good!
Go! Pay attention to your safety! Let your brother follow lest you meet with danger!
The two left hurriedly. The lively banquet also quietened because these two had left. The women were too worried about Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang and didnt have the mood to appreciate the song and dance anymore.
However, the banquet still had to continue. Besides, this was the empress dowagers banquet. So, in no time, there were music, songs and dancing. The scene turned lively again.
When Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang arrived at Jue Se Fang, the fire had already been controlled. Originally, it was a refined small three-story building. Now, it had become a black ruin.
Is there someone? Is there still people here? Murong Qi Qi wanted to rush inside to see the situation, but she was stopped by Feng Cang. There might still be danger inside. Stay here, Ill go take a look!
Feng Cang entered inside. Everywhere was burned. Looking at the neat way, it looked like Nalan Xin had done a good thing. Feng Cang was overjoyed. Now, its good! Nalan Xin had certainly caught the people. By then, he could use those people to force Guanghua gongzi to appear and see if he could still hook onto Murong Qi Qi!
How is it? Murong Qi Qi immediately went to Feng Cang after he came out. Are there still some people alive?
There was no one inside. Maybe they had been saved or kidnapped
While talking, Feng Cang examined Murong Qi Qi. He wanted to see her expression. Sure enough, just thinking of the possibility of being kidnapped as mentioned by Feng Cang, made Murong Qi Qis expression turn ugly.
Who was it? To actually dare to break the ground over the overhead of god; to actually dare to touch her people! Really impatient to die!
When Murong Qi Qi personally went inside to inspect, her mood was bad to the extreme. It was like Feng Cang said; there were no corpses, no one had died. Like this, the people of Moyu may had long found out before the enemy had come and retreated or they had all been captured.
It was just, who had such ability? Murong Qi Qi believed that the people under her werent ordinary. Even if it was a real enemy; even using real swords and guns, Moyus people wouldnt be afraid! Besides, in this broad daylight, the other party wouldnt have also taken action openly. If the other party used underhanded ways, then who would be more underhanded than Moyus people?!
On the way here, she had thought calmly for a long time. She couldnt figure out who this person was.
Wu Ji Gong? A group of small bandits. Even if they had Wanyan Hongs support behind them, they still couldnt become something. Other sects? That was also impossible. Moyu had always been coming and going alone and wouldnt warm up or make enemies with people. Moyu didnt have enemies.
Murong Qi Qi even thought about the court. However, her identity was so secret. Wanyan Lie simply couldnt know it. Even if he knew, he wouldnt ruin Jue Se Fang and Tong Bao Zhai without a reason. Who was it?
Murong Qi Qis expression was dark. The vinegar in Feng Cangs heart turned into a sea. If it wasnt because he needed to keep Murong Qi Qi company, he would have long gone to Nalan Xin and wouldve tortured those people to let them say who that damn Guanghua gongzi was!
Just burning his shops was too easy on him! This Guanghua gongzi appeared like a god and vanished like a devil. His entire Fo Sheng Men was mobilized and he still couldnt inquire any news about him. Now, he could only put his hope on the people Nalan Xin caught!
He hoped that these people had enough value and could let Guanghua gongzi bite on the hook. Now, Feng Cangs intention of wanting to kill Guanghua gongzi was even more intense!
He absolutely wouldnt allow another person to be in Murong Qi Qis heart. Even a hair of the other party couldnt enter! He wouldnt allow it!
Just as Murong Qi Qi was thinking about who the one behind the scene was, Su Yue appeared in front of them. She handed a note to Murong Qi Qi.
Tonight at haishi (9-11pm), see you at Lion Ridge.
