Chapter 149 (Part 2) Shameless couple
At this point, it was like there was a big hand holding Xia Yun Xi’s heart on her chest, making her breathing unable to be even. Unable to take her eyes off, she stared at the entrance of the hall. She wanted to know how Feng Cang looked like.
The sunlight sprinkled inside from the entrance and covered the hall with a layer of golden light.
Inside the golden light, a pair of heavenly people came closer and closer. The man was dressed in a graceful white. His appearance was like a painting. The girl was in warm red and smiled like a flower.
‘Boom, boom, boom…’ Seeing Feng Cang once again, Xia Yun Xi’s heart beat very fast. It’s him! It’s really him! Xia Yun Xi was so excited that tears almost came out. After so many years, he became mature. From an elegant young master, he became a devilish beautifully man. However, his facial features remained the same. Although, he looked a lot colder, but it let him have a layer more of masculinity.
Ten years, ah! Xia Yun Xi bit her lips and forced her tears back. The man she loved for ten years, finally appeared.
Ming Yue Cheng’s expression was no better than Xia Yun Xi’s. When he saw the appearance of Murong Qi Qi, Ming Yue Cheng’s hand trembled once. A bit of the wine in the wine cup spilled on the table.
She is actually him? Until today, did Ming Yue Cheng got to know that Murong Qi Qi is Guanghua gongzi; the person who came to find him, partnered with him and won Nan Feng’s throne.
After getting the throne, Ming Yue Cheng contacted the people of Jue Se Fang many times, wanting to see Guanghua gongzi and to show him his grat.i.tude in person. However, the shopkeeper of Jue Se Fang said that gongzi wasn’t in Nan Feng and that gongzi was very busy. Now, Ming Yue Cheng finally understood with what Guanghua gongzi was busy with.
Ming Yue Cheng couldn’t describe his inner thoughts. All the complex feelings poured into his heart. This woman deceived him so bitterly! He searched everywhere for Guanghua gongzi, wanting to express his grat.i.tude. However, this woman went to Bei Zhou and experienced so many things.
If this time he didn’t come personally, presumably he wouldn’t know the truth.
No wonder he felt that Murong Qi Qi’s eyes were beautiful and wondered why someone with such beautiful eyes would look so ordinary. Now, he finally understood. This girl used an ordinary face and deceived everyone. It was just, her ordinary face already let people mesmerized. Now, she changed into a heavenly appearance, presumably more people would fall for her!
“Uncle!” Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi bowed at the same time to Wanyan Lie. Just now, when the two entered together, Wanyan Lie lost his soul for a moment. They’re really a match! If these two people really could be together, how great would that be?!
Wanyan Lie let the person in black ‘monitor’ Long Autumn palace. After knowing that Feng Cang slept every night at Murong Qi Qi’s, Wanyan Lie’s heart finally eased down. Before, he was worried that these siblings would put down this relations.h.i.+p because of their blood ties. Now, it seemed that compared to them, he was the coward. That was why he didn’t get happiness…
“You’re all here. Take your place!”
The banquet began. Songs and dance came up. Delicious food was also placed in front of everyone by the palace maids.
After Ming Yue Cheng looked at Murong Qi Qi, he couldn’t help but look at the man at her side. Don’t know why, Ming Yue Cheng had an intuition. He discovered that Murong Qi Qi treated Feng Cang different than others. At least, the feelings in their eyes wasn’t as simple as that of siblings.
The moment he looked at Feng Cang, Ming Yue Cheng frowned. This man has a problem!
Before, between the eyebrows of Wanyan Lie, Ming Yue Cheng saw that there’s a gu in his body. At this time, on Feng Cang’s face, he saw that same situation again. Between Feng Cang’s eyebrows, there was a touch of back. Ordinary people couldn’t see this touch of black. It was just, Ming Yue Cheng was in contact with gu since young. That was why he had a deep understanding of gu.
Wanyan Lie’s color was a light black. Feng Cang’s color was completely black. It seemed that Feng Cang got the gu for many years.
Although Feng Cang looked no different from an ordinary person, but it couldn’t change the fact that he got the gu for many years. The poison of the gu was already pure black. If the gu is still not taken out, when the gu acted on the person who manipulated the gu, Feng Cang would stop breathing and die.
It was just, why would Feng Cang be infected with the gu? This question had been bothering Ming Yue Cheng.
Ming Yue Cheng’s birth mother Miao Chu Yun was an expert at gu and was also a member of Tibetan tribe. However, Miao Chu Yun also once told him, if there’s no hatred, members of Tibetan tribe wouldn’t put gu in ordinary people because gu is an organism which is difficult to manipulate. If the gu wasn’t manipulated well, it may bite back at the person who put the gu. Besides, using gu to harm a human life was a very negative thing. So, the person who put the gu would also not have a long life.
The Tibetan people had been living at the south of Nan Feng. They lived in a tribal form together. Under normal circ.u.mstance, the Tibetan people wouldn’t leave their homeland. Then where did the gu on Feng Cang and Wanyan Lie came from? Who had such a big gut to put gu on Bei Zhou’s emperor and Nan Lin w.a.n.g? What motive did the person who put the gu had?
Ming Yue Cheng frowned, His gaze had been on Feng Cang, making Murong Qi Qi sense something strange. She looked carefully, Murong Qi Qi discovered that Ming Yue Cheng was indeed staring at Feng Cang. Besides, he was staring at between the eyebrows. Could it be that there was something between Feng Cang’s eyebrows? Murong Qi Qi turned her head and also looked at between Feng Cang’s eyebrows.
There was a touch of black. Murong Qi Qi knew that this was the performance of gu. It was just, why would Ming Yue Cheng stare at there? Could it be that he knew something? Speaking of this, in this continent, the people who knew how to use gu were all in Nan Feng. Was it that Ming Yue Cheng had a way to lift the gu?
Murong Qi Qi’s attention walked between Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Cang. If it wasn’t because they were at a palace banquet, she would certainly go see Ming Yue Cheng personally and ask him the situation clearly. If Ming Yue Cheng truly had a way to remove the gu poison on Feng Cang’s body, then it would be very great!
“Could it be that Qing Qing is comparing me and Ming Yue Cheng to see who is better?” Seeing Murong Qi Qi look at Ming Yue Cheng, Feng Cang was a bit jealous. If this wasn’t a public occasion; if in front of everyone they weren’t siblings, he would put his hand on her waist and interrogate why she was looking at Ming Yue Cheng.
“Look at you…,” Hearing the strong jealousy in Feng Cang’s words, Murong Qi Qi chuckled. Her small hand pulled Feng Cang’s sleeve under the table, “Obviously, it was Ming Yue Cheng who had been staring at you, making me jealous. Now, you turned it over on me! Quickly confess, what kind of relations.h.i.+p is there between you and Ming Yue Cheng which shouldn’t be known to the public? Why had he been staring at you? Besides, it was staring between your eyebrows?
After Murong Qi Qi said this, Feng Cang immediately understood her meaning. Ming Yue Cheng could see that there was gu poison on his body. Could it be that he had a way to cure it? It was just, when he thought that Ming Yue Cheng came this time to ask Murong Qi Qi’s hand, Feng Cang’s expression sank.
If Ming Yue Cheng uses the cure of the gu poison as exchange to get Murong Qi Qi, he wouldn’t agree.
How could Murong Qi Qi not know what Feng Cang was thinking? This man, ah, really eating vinegar incessantly! Could it be that she’s like the popular apricot? “I’ve met Ming Yue Cheng before. He’s not a nasty person.”
Murong Qi Qi spoke for Ming Yue Cheng. Feng Cang got another burst of jealousy, “Qing Qing, you actually have contacts with Ming Yue Cheng. Why don’t I know?!”
Seeing Feng Cang pout like a child, Murong Qi Qi smiled, “Cang, could it be that you don’t know the matter of Guanghua gongzi and Ming Yue Cheng partnering up? Otherwise, how could I’ve have gotten the special access of Nan four states!”
“So, it was like that!” Feng Cang nodded. Moyu occupied the four Nan states. Murong Qi Qi is Guanghua gongzi. He immediately understood after putting strings on them. This woman, ah! She inadvertently overturned the regime of Nan Feng. He didn’t even know what to say about her!
“Qing Qing, I’ll give you the special access of Bei four states. You and Ming Yue Cheng broke off your contact, alright?” Feng Cang began to retreat by advancing. Under the table, he grabbed Murong Qi Qi’s hand. His fingertips made circles on her palm, “You see, the territory of Bei four states is also very big. No matter what you do, I’ll support you. Don’t come in contact with him anymore!”
“Cang, are you jealous?”
“He wants to marry you and let you become Nan Feng’s empress. How could I not be jealous?! Qing Qing, he isn’t better than me, really!”
Feng Cang’s acting spoiled made Murong Qi Qi want to pinch his face. However, in public, she needed to maintain her image. “You, ah, can be hundred twenty percent at ease! I don’t have anything with Ming Yue Cheng! Besides, Ming Yue Cheng is a gentleman. When I made things clear to him, he would give up!”
Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi’s interaction fell in the eyes of Xia Yun Xi. This was an irony.
No wonder, Feng Cang dodged her everywhere. It turned out that feelings developed between these siblings!
Originally, Murong Qi Qi was a princess who came for a marriage alliance and it was Feng Cang who personally went to fetch her. Perhaps these two people already breeded fondness out of familiarity. Later, because of their relation as siblings, they were forced to separate. However, the feelings still generated. So, despite the ethics, they maintained an amorous relations.h.i.+p! Really shameless!
Naturally, the one Xia Yun Xi scolded was Murong Qi Qi. Of course, she wouldn’t scold Feng Cang. In Xia Yun Xi’s heart, everything about Feng Cang was great. Then, the problem was definitely Murong Qi Qi. It was definitely this woman who seduced Feng Cang regardless of shame. Really hateful!
Xia Yun Xi finally found out the reason why Feng Cang was cold to her. After knowing the reason, she thought about how to take the appropriate steps to s.h.i.+ft Feng Cang’s attention towards Murong Qi Qi to her. She didn’t want to lose to Murong Qi Qi!
Xia Yun Xi was thinking about how to deal with Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Yi was also thinking about Murong Qi Qi. Yesterday, he discussed again and again with Lin Ke Xin. The two felt that uncooked rice turned to cooked rice was the best. This was the most secure way. He couldn’t afford to lose. So, even if he needed to use underhanded ways, he must also win!
The songs and dance came one after another. The atmosphere on the scene turned livelier. Wanyan Lie ruled the country a bit laxed. That was why, the officials were not so cautious. Now, they had begun to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drunk big gla.s.ses of wine. There were people who boxed with the wine and also people who got up to toast with each other.
The scene turned lively. Seeing this, Xia Yun Xi’s eyes lit up. This was an opportunity! While Xia Yun Xi was thinking, her hand touched the hairpin on her head. Taking advantage of when others didn’t pay attention, Xia Yun Xi took down the hairpin. She turned the pearl and quickly poured the powder in her own jar of wine. Then, she turned the hairpin back to its original form and inserted it in her hair.
Had to say, Xia Yun Xi and Wanyan Yi were a perfect match. She intended to take advantage of this golden opportunity. Wanyan Yi was also thinking like this! However, he hid the drug in the long nails of his little finger on the right hand. Wanyan Yi’s little finger just gently knocked on the edge of the jar. This powder went into the jar and became one with the wine in the jar.
Xia Yun Xi and Wanyan Yi almost got up at the same time. They came together to Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. Seeing the two suddenly appeared dark clouds, Murong qi Qi raised her hand. With one look, she saw the two people she disliked the most. The two appeared at the same time as if they agreed on it. Really connected on a deep level with each other.
“Little cousin sister, don’t know if I have this honor to treat you to a cup of wine!” Wanyan Yi raised the jar in his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
“w.a.n.gye, can I treat you to a cup of wine?” At a side, Xia Yun Xi also said that.
Really a match, ah! Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang exchanged a glance. With one look, you would know that the appearance of these two wouldn’t bear anything good. It was just, in front of everyone, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi didn’t object. They stood up.
“w.a.n.gye, I will pour wine to you.” Seeing Feng Cang so willing, Xia Yun Xi’s beautiful eyes betrayed her inner thoughts. She picked up Feng Cang’s cup and slowly poured a cup of wine. When she smelled the wine fragrance that drifted over, Murong Qi Qi’s face turned cold.
Shameless to the extreme! In this world, there was actually such a shameless woman. Putting drug in the win to seduce men. Really shameless! Murong Qi Qi’s hand pulled Feng Cang’s sleeve slightly and gave him a reminder.
How could Feng Cang not know Murong Qi Qi? They got along for a long time. Every move and gaze of her, he knew what they meant. Now, Murong Qi Qi pulled at his sleeve after Xia Yun Xi poured wine for him. It was obviously telling him that there was a problem with this wine!
At this side, Wanyan Yi also poured wine for Murong Qi Qi. After seeing the wine Wanyan Yi poured, Murong Qi Qi sneered. These pair of woman and man were both as cheap! One wanted to drug Feng Cang; the other wanted to drug her. They calculated very well, ah!
“Little cousin sister, please!” Wanyan Yi used his best smile to face Murong Qi Qi. As long as this matter is successful, he would be Bei Zhou’s crown prince. This world would be his!
“Haha…,” Murong Qi Qi laughed softly. Her eyes had been staring at Wanyan Yi’s eyes, “Cousin brother, thank you…”
These sentences were said floatingly and slowly as if it had magic. When facing with Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Yi had a sense of being absent-minded. In a moment, his mind went blank and didn’t know what to think anymore. When Wanyan Yi woke up, Murong Qi Qi already drank the wine and showed him the empty cup.
“Cousin brother, it’s your turn!”
“Good, good! I’ll drink!” Wanyan Yi raised his head. A cup of wine went into his stomach. Looking at the wine on his mouth, the corners of Murong Qi Qi’s mouth went up.
Murong Qi Qi drank the wine. Xia Yun Xi also looked at Feng Cang eagerly, “w.a.n.gye, I’ve always admired you. This cup of wine is my respect to you!”
Xia Yun Xi’s meaning was very obvious. Feng Cang must drink this wine.
“Princess, you are being like this is unfriendly. You only treated bengong’s big brother and didn’t treat bengong. Could it be that you look down on bengong?” Murong Qi Qi came over. Her eyes were smiling while she looked at Xia Yun Xi.
She didn’t know why, but when facing Murong Qi Qi, Xia Yun Xi felt that her heartbeat was twice as fast. When she came by, Murong Qi Qi laughed, “Princess Yun, bengong was joking with you! I won’t bother you (two) anymore! You drink!”
When she looked again, Feng Cang already poured the wine in his mouth. Seeing Feng Cang drank the wine she poured, Xia Yun Xi felt that happiness was waving at her. Everything went according to her plan. It seemed that heaven was helping her.
Wanyan Yi and Xia Yun Xi was immersed in their own thoughts and went back to their seats. Xia Yun Xi was very happy. She planned to escort Feng Cang out when the drug flared up in Feng Cang’s body. Then…hey, hey, when the matter is done, she would be Nan Lin w.a.n.gfei.
Different from Xia Yun Xi, although Wanyan Yi felt that he was one step closer to victory, but seeing Xia Yun Xi toast with Feng Cang juts now, he keenly sensed the strangeness in this woman. The thought that Xia Yun Xi may use the same way as him to deal with Feng Cang, a knot swelled in his heart.
