Demon Wang’s Golden Favorite Fei

Chapter 149



Chapter 149 (Part 1) Shameless couple

Compared to Yun Xi’s lack of shame, Ming Yue Cheng just let people send over some specialities of Nan Feng to Murong Qi Qi. However, he knew that there were differences between men and women. If he met Murong Qi Qi in private, it would be bad for Murong Qi Qi’s reputation. So, he’d endured all this time and waited for the palace banquet.

Ever since Xia Yun Xi had been humiliated by Wanyan Kang at Long Autumn palace, she had given up on using Murong Qi Qi as a shortcut. From Xia Yun Xi’s point of view, Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang’s relationship was so great that they must be the jackals of the same tribe. She needed to rely on herself for her happiness.

Jackals of the same tribe: they are all just as bad as each other.

So, every day after that incident, Xia Yun Xi got up early and waited for Feng Cang to return from the morning court. She intended to have a sweet encounter with him. However, she waited for four or five days and only saw Ji Xiang and Ruyi, this pair of siblings’ mocking smiles.

Inside the capital, the rumors were that Dong Lu’s princess was pursuing relentlessly, forcing Nan Lin wang1 to have no way out; resulting in that he was unable to return to Nan Lin wangfu2 and could only stay at fifth prince’s residence.

More busybodies dug out Xia Yun Xi’s consort mother’s identity. Her consort mother was originally an orphan unintentionally saved by Dong Lu’s empress. Later, while the empress was pregnant, she climbed on the dragon bed. Because of her skills and charms, she became Xia Jin’s favorite consort. Since then, she never put the empress in her eyes…

All kinds of rumors and the fact that Feng Cang was hiding at Wanyan Kang’s place, was put in front of their eyes, making the citizens of the capital thoroughly understand this Dong Lu’s princess. Thinking about what had happened previously at White Cloud Restaurant, so many people had witnessed Xia Yun Xi’s shamelessness, making people couldn’t help but sigh. Really what kind of seeds would make what kind of flowers! The mother is not a good thing, how can the daughter be a person of good character?!

“Bastard! Bastard!” Xia Yun Xi smashed the things in the room. “If I catch the person who spread the rumors, I will definitely kill him and execute his nine generations! Execute his nine generations!”

“Princess, don’t get angry and make your body unwell!” Hong Ye saw Xia Yun Xi acting like that, and immediately reminded her. Here was Nan Lin wangfu. All the things being smashed were Feng Cang’s.

After Hong Ye mentioned Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi also got angry. No wonder she didn’t see him at wangfu. It turned out that he had run away to live at Wanyan Kang’s. It was definitely Wanyan Kang who’d said something in front of Feng Cang. That’s why he hid from her as though he was avoiding a plague. No wonder, even after she’d kept watch day and night, she still didn’t even see a shadow. It turned out that he went into hiding at Wanyan Kang’s! Could it be that she’s severe floods and fierce beasts?

Severe floods and fierce beasts: extremely dangerous and threatening things.

Thinking of all this, Xia Yun Xi’s tears couldn’t help but fall.

Before coming here, Xia Jin didn’t want Xia Yun Xi to come. He personally wrote a document to set her and Feng Cang’s marriage through Wanyan Lie. Xia Yun Xi only needed to wait for the day of marriage. However, Xia Yun Xi rejected Xia Jin’s suggestion on the spot.

Firstly, it was because she didn’t see Feng Cang for ten years. She had finally become an adult. Xia Yun Xi wanted to see Feng Cang immediately. Secondly, inside Xia Yun Xi’s heart, there was a small pride. She didn’t want to use Xia Jin’s relation to force Feng Cang to marry her under pressure. She was confident in herself. Xia Yun Xi wanted to use her own efforts to let Feng Cang fall in love with her and marry her willingly.

However, Xia Yun Xi had never thought that the difference between a dream and the reality would be so big.

No matter how intoxicated and immersed in the beautiful fantasies she was, the reality was like a slap in her face, mercilessly hitting her and making her get a nosebleed. No need to mention, fooling around with Feng Cang. She had been here for so long, yet she still hadn’t seen Feng Cang’s face. How can she fool around? Even if she wanted to **, she didn’t have a partner, ah!

Although she’d begged Wanyan Lie and entered the wangfu as she’d wished, but Feng Cang eluded her like a disease. She advanced, he retreated. She chased, he avoided. There was no intersection, let alone having the time to seize Feng Cang’s heart.

Xia Yun Xi began to realise that Feng Cang didn’t like her. Although she wanted to believe that Wanyan Kang playing dirty tricks in front of Feng Cang was the cause and use this excuse to comfort herself on why Feng Cang alienated himself from her, but the truth was placed in front of her. She wasn’t a fool.

“Hong Ye, what to do? Feng Cang doesn’t like me!” Xia Yun Xi’s tears were like pearls and accumulated at the corners of her eyes. She didn’t know what she had done wrong. She’d only fallen in love with Feng Cang and wanted to be his bride.

He wasn’t married, she wasn’t married; wasn’t this the perfect thing?! Why did Feng Cang use such ways to reject her? Could it be that she’s not good enough?!

Xia Yun Xi cried. Hong Ye also became anxious. After thinking for a good moment, Hong Ye moved closer to Xia Yun Xi, “Princess, this slave has a plan. This slave just doesn’t know if princess is willing to do so…”

“What kind of plan?” The moment she heard that Hong Ye had a plan, Xia Yun Xi quickly looked at her, “As long as I can make my wish come true, I am willing to do anything!”

“Princess, why don’t you pretend to be sick?! If the imperial physician came, you can argue noisily that you have a headache and then you pretend to be on the point of death and want to see Nan Lin wang once…,” While saying this, Hong Ye also felt that this plan was a bit too dramatic. She quickly added, “This slave doesn’t have the meaning of cursing you!”

Xia Yun Xi was now giving medicine to a dead horse. Regardless of what she needed to do, as long as it make Feng Cang come see her, she was willing to try. After thinking for a moment about this scheme Hong Ye proposed, she immediately nodded.

Give medicine to a dead horse: trying everything in a desperate situation

“Hong Ye, go into the palace to see your majesty. Say, I’m about to die…,” Xia Yun Xi whispered a few words in Hong Ye’s ear. Hong Ye quickly nodded. After Xia Yun Xi prepared everything, Hong Ye hurried to the palace.

The moment he heard that Dong Lu’s princess was about to die at Nan Lin wangfu, Wanyan Lie became startled, “What happened? What’s the matter with princess?”

Wanyan Lie was worried and fell into Hong Ye’ trap. Before coming, she’d mercilessly pinched her legs twice and squeezed out tears. Now, that just came in handy, “This slave also doesn’t know. In the morning, princess was well. This slave doesn’t know why, but in the afternoon, she felt pain in her chest and now she has fainted!”

Naturally, Wanyan Lie didn’t want Xia Yun Xi to die at Bei Zhou. He immediately sent the imperial physician to Nan Lin wangfu. He also followed them.

Inside Guanyu building’s quarter, Xia Yun Xi was very pale-faced and her lips were a scary red. “Your majesty, am, am I about to die?”

While talking, tears fell out. Hong Ye went forward to wipe them for her. Her mouth was crying, “Princess, you won’t die! Your majesty would definitely let people cure you!”

Originally, Wanyan Lie really thought that something had happened to Xia Yun Xi. Now, after seeing her appearance, Wanyan Lie knew that she was pretending to be sick. Being lied to was not a very good feeling, but Wanyan Lie didn’t say anything. He still continued to comfort her and let the imperial physician give Xia Yun Xia a check-up.

The old imperial physician put his hand across a gold muslin on Xia Yun Xi’s left hand. He closed his eyes, paused for a long moment and also changed hands. Then, he stood up.

“Answering emperor, princess is not acclimatized!”

The old imperial physician’s words almost made Wanyan Lie laugh out loud. This old guy, he’d stayed in the imperial hospital for too long. He knew how to assess the situation. Presumably, he also saw that nothing was wrong with Xia Yun Xi, but he couldn’t unmask her lie. He had to make up such an ‘illness’!

“Not acclimatized?” Xia Yun Xi wasn’t satisfied with this answer. She immediately began to shout, “Aiyo. My head hurts so much. My chest also hurts badly! I certainly wouldn’t be able to endure for much longer.”

Xia Yun Xi was clearly acting shamelessly, but Wanyan Lei also had no way out. He had also heard about the recent gossip. Outsiders were rumoring that Feng Cang lived at Wanyan Kang’s. Only he knew that Feng Cang snuck out every night to Long Autumn palace.

Now, Xia Yun Xi was pretending to be sick like this, it was nothing more than wanting to force Feng Cang to appear. This lass wanted to trick him, but she was still inexperienced.

“Feng Cang’s Jin Mo’s medical skills are high. Zhen3 wants to let him come check princess!”

When she heard that it was just letting Jin Mo come and not Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi shouted louder. Her hand clutched her chest and pretended like she couldn’t breathe. She acting like this let the disgust Wanyan Lie had for her become stronger.

“Is not that princess got love-sickness, right?!”

Just one sentence revealed Xia Yun Xi’s thoughts. Hearing Wanyan Lie say that, Xia Yun Xi’s face immediately became red. Now, her chest and head didn’t ache. She lifted the quilt and came out of bed. She knelt in front of Wanyan Lie.

“Since your majesty already knows, then I won’t hide it from your majesty anymore…,” She didn’t even complete two sentences, when Xia Yun Xi began to cry. Wanyan Lie looked at her tears. He frowned even more.

Xia Yun Xi rambled a lot. It was nothing more than how much she liked Feng Cang and that aside from Feng Cang, she wouldn’t fall in love with another person. If she couldn’t become Feng Cang’s bride, she would rather become a nun!

Xia Yun Xi cried and threw a tantrum. However, she forgot that these tricks of women would only be effective when using it in front of the man who loves them. Putting it on another person, no one would give you face.

“Zhen understands princess’s meaning. Princess likes Cang er4. It is his blessing. After two days, it would be the palace banquet. Princess could prepare very well! Zhen still needs to look over documents. Zhen will go first.”

After leaving this sentence, Wanyan Lie left Guanyu building. Looking at Wanyan Lie’s departing back, Xia Yun Xi was somewhat stupefied. What was this situation? According to common sense, Wanyan Lie should immediately send a decree to make Feng Cang come to her. How could he just pat his butt and leave?

“Prin-, princess, now what should we do?” Hong Ye was also dumbfounded. Originally, they thought that this approach would work. They didn’t expect that Bei Zhou’s emperor wouldn’t fall for this. Then,eae what to do?

‘Pa, pa…’ Hong Ye had just finished speaking, when Xia Yun Xi gave her two slaps. “All this was because of you had thought of such a silly idea! My face is completely lost! What could we do more? We could only wait till the palace banquet!”

Don’t know who spread the rumor that Xia Yun Xi got love-sickness. For some time, Xia Yun Xi became the joke of the citizens of the capital. A country’s princess acting so cheap was the first and the last.

Fortunately, Xia Yun Xi was at wangfu and didn’t hear these rumors. Hong Ye also didn’t dare to let Xia Yun Xi know lest to let herself become Xia Yun Xi’s punching bag.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the palace banquet arrived.

The cold winter had passed. The spring was back on earth. All things recovered and everywhere was green. Yan capital was thriving.

Early in the morning, Xia Yun Xi woke up and let Hong Ye help her dress up. After thinking calmly this time, Xia Yun Xi finally understood Feng Cang’s meaning. He didn’t like to see her. No matter how petty and low she put herself, he wouldn’t give her any chance.

Xia Yun Xi couldn’t accept it. She felt that nothing was wrong with her. Why didn’t Feng Cang want to give her a chance? Could it be that there’s another person in Feng Cang’s heart? Or was it that he had heard some rumors? In short, if she couldn’t see Feng Cang and find out the reason, Xia Yun Xi wouldn’t give up. Let her give up on the man she loved for ten years, she wasn’t willing!

“Hong Ye, did you already prepare the things?” Xia Yun Xi faced the mirror and checked her make-up once again. She added one more brush to the eye, before she was satisfied.

“Princess, everything is ready!” Hong Ye handed a pearl hairpin and a thing wrapped in paper to Xia Yun Xi.

From the outside, there was nothing wrong with this pearl hairpin. Xia Yun Xi turned the pearl on the hairpin and took it out. It turned out that there was an empty space inside the hairpin. “Put the drug inside. Be more careful!”

“Yes!”

Hong Ye carefully opened the package. Inside it was a thick layer of white powder. She took a small brush and swept a bit into the hairpin. Then, she turned the pearl back in its place and put the hairpin in Xia Yun Xi’s hair.

“Princess, do you really want to do this…”

Hong Ye had a bad premonition. She felt that Xia Yun Xi’s idea of giving Feng Cang the drug was a dangerous thing. If by chance they were found out, then what should they do? By then, the news that, in order to marry Feng Cang, Dong Lu’s princess had drugged him, would spread out. Could Xia Yun Xi continue to live, ah?!

Xia Yun Xi didn’t take Hong Ye’s worry seriously. She had gone mad from Feng Cang’s continuous alienation and indifference! She couldn’t wait a moment more!

Before coming, Xia Yun Xi told everyone proudly at Dong Lu’s palace that she had come here to be Nan Lin wangfei,5 to become Feng Cang’s wangfei. If this time, she was rejected by Feng Cang and needed to go back dejectedly; by then, wouldn’t she be made into a joke by those snobbish people? Xia Yun Xi didn’t want it to be like that!

Even if she knew that this was risky and an approach born out of desperation, but Xia Yun Xi still wanted to take the risk.

What thing you do in this world isn’t a gamble? She was gambling her happiness, gambling her future. What’s wrong with it?! Didn’t consort mother use this method and became emperor father’s pampered consort? Even if Feng Cang didn’t love her, it’s enough that she loves him. When she becomes Nan Lin wangfei, she would definitely make Feng Cang fall in love with her.

With the determination to win, Xia Yun Xi went into the palace. She had gone there early. Although many officials had come with their wives to the location, but the major characters still hadn’t arrived. Some maids led Xia Yun Xi to Taiji hall. However, she felt very bored. She didn’t want to sit there and just wait. So, she walked around.

After going a full circle, Xia Yun Xi discovered that the way those noble ladies looked at her was a bit different. Those ladies grouped together in groups of three to four people. When they saw Xia Yun Xi, their looks were strange as if they were saying, look, that’s Dong Lu’s princess who’d chased a man all the way to their Yan capital.

Xia Yun Xi wasn’t a fool. How could she not understand the gazes of those women? It was just, here was Bei Zhou. She could only endure! Humph! Xia Yun Xi glared fiercely at those women once. When I become Nan Lin wangfei, I will let you see!

Because empress Li Bing was imprisoned, the one who’d followed Wanyan Lie to these sorts of banquets was consort De, Lin Ke Xin. It could be said that Lin Ke Xin had everything going her way after the crown prince was disposed and the empress was imprisoned. Wanyan Lie let her oversee the harem. Although she didn’t have the phoenix seal, but Lin Ke Xin’s power was almost the same as the empress’s.

Now, the most important thing for Lin Ke Xin was to let Wanyan Yi become the crown prince smoothly. The day Wanyan Yi becomes the crown prince is the day Li Bing would be disposed and she would become the empress. She wanted this position of empress for a long time. Now, it was right in front of her eyes, how could she give up?

These days, Wanyan Yi listened to her and had been going to Long Autumn palace. It was just, every time, either Feng Cang was there or Wanyan Kang was there. He didn’t have any time to be alone with Murong Qi Qi.

Although the result was a bit inconsistent with what Lin Ke Xin had expected, but at least, she made a momentum. Plus, the fact that she’d spread some rumors in the palace, now many people thought highly of Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi. This made Lin Ke Xin feel quite satisfied. Next, it’s on today….

Lin Ke Xin sat next to Wanyan Lie. Her mood was very good. Without the empress, she sat like the mistress of this palace. Her every gesture was excellent.

The eunuch shouted, “Audience!”, and everyone who would participate in the palace banquet arrived.

When Ming Yue Cheng arrived at the scene, the hearts of those women present couldn’t help but ripple.

He was dressed in luxurious purple clothes. On his waist, a gold belt was buckled. From head to toe, aside from the gold belt, there was no extra decoration. This new emperor of Nan Feng appeared relaxed. There was clear carelessness in his beautiful eyes. His thick hair was only tied with an amethyst hairpin. On his feet turned out to be a pair of clogs.

‘Ka…ka…’ Ming Yue Chen’s steps were not fast nor slow. The clogs knocked on the marble floor and issued a clear sound. Sound after sound, it beat on the people’s heart.

Ming Yue Cheng went to his seat and sat down. His gaze swept once over the crowd, but he didn’t see Murong Qi Qi. It seemed that she hadn’t arrived yet.

Just as Ming Yue Cheng was thinking about Murong Qi Qi, a “Nan Lin wang arrived! Princess Zhen Guo arrived!” spread to his ears. Murong Qi Qi arrived! Hearing this, Ming Yue Cheng revealed an excellent smile. She had finally come…

1. Wang/wangye: prince of first rank

2. Wangfu: residence of the prince of first rank

3. Zhen: I, used by the emperor

4. Er: term of endearment

5. Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank

Chapter 149 (Part 2) Shameless couple

At this point, it was like there was a big hand holding Xia Yun Xi’s heart in her chest, making her breathe unevenly. Unable to tear her eyes away, she stared at the entrance of the hall. She wanted to know what Feng Cang looked like now.

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 moved 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 started beating 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 had become mature. From an elegant young master, he’d turned into a devilishly beautiful man. However, his facial features remained the same. Although he looked a lot colder, but it let him gain a layer of masculinity.

Ten years, ah! Xia Yun Xi bit her lips and forced her tears back. The man she’d loved for ten years has 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 cup spilled onto the table.

She is actually him? Only today, did Ming Yue Cheng realise that Murong Qi Qi was also Guanghua gongzi;1 the person who’d come to find him, partnered with him in order to win Nan Feng’s throne.

After getting the throne, Ming Yue Cheng had contacted the people of Jue Se Fang many times, wanting to see Guanghua gongzi and to show him his gratitude 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 what exactly Guanghua gongzi was busy with.

Ming Yue Cheng couldn’t describe his inner thoughts. All the complex feelings poured into his heart. This woman had deceived him so bitterly! He’d searched everywhere for Guanghua gongzi, wanting to express his gratitude. However, this woman went to Bei Zhou and experienced so many things.

If he hadn’t come personally this time, then perhaps he wouldn’t have known the truth.

No wonder he’d felt that Murong Qi Qi’s eyes were beautiful and also wondered why someone with such beautiful eyes could look so ordinary. Now, he finally understood. This girl used an ordinary face mask and deceived everyone. It was just, her ordinary face already made people mesmerized. Now that she’d changed into a heavenly appearance; presumably, even 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 had 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 continue to ‘monitor’ Long Autumn palace. After knowing that Feng Cang had slept every night at Murong Qi Qi’s, Wanyan Lie’s heart finally felt at ease. Before, he was worried that these siblings would put down this relationship because of their blood ties. Now, it seemed that, compared to them, he was the coward. That’s 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 differently compared to the others. At least, the feelings in their eyes weren’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 had seen that there’s a gu in his body. At this time, on Feng Cang’s face, he saw that same situation once again. Between Feng Cang’s eyebrows, there was a touch of back. Ordinary people couldn’t see this touch of black. It’s just, Ming Yue Cheng had been contact with gu ever since he’s young. That’s 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 had the gu for many years.

Although Feng Cang looked no different from an ordinary person, but it couldn’t change the fact that he carried the gu for many years. The poison of the gu was already pure black. If the gu was still not taken out, then if the gu acted on the person who’d manipulated the gu, Feng Cang would stop breathing and die.

It’s 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 have put gu in ordinary people because gu was an organism that’s difficult to manipulate. If the gu wasn’t manipulated well, it might bite back at the person who used the gu. Besides, using gu to harm a human life was a very negative thing. So, the person who put the gu in someone else 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. Under normal circumstances, the Tibetan people wouldn’t leave their homeland. So 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 wang? What motive did the person who used the gu had?

Ming Yue Cheng frowned. His gaze had been on Feng Cang, making Murong Qi Qi sense something strange. She looked around carefully, and discovered that Ming Yue Cheng was indeed staring at Feng Cang. Besides, he was staring at the area 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 the area between Feng Cang’s eyebrows.

There was a touch of black. Murong Qi Qi knew that this was the performance of gu. It’s just, why would Ming Yue Cheng stare at that area? 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 moved between Ming Yue Cheng and Feng Cang. If it wasn’t because they were at a palace banquet, she would certainly have gone to see Ming Yue Cheng personally and ask him about 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, then he would’ve 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 to me! Quickly confess, what kind of relationship is there between you and Ming Yue Cheng which shouldn’t be known to the public? Why was he looking at you? Besides, it was gazing at the area 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 in his body. Could it be that he had a way to cure it? It’s just, when he thought that Ming Yue Cheng had come this time to ask for Murong Qi Qi’s hand, Feng Cang’s expression sank.

If Ming Yue Cheng decided to use the cure of the gu poison as an 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 contact 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 was Guanghua gongzi. He immediately understood after pulling strings together. 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 break 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 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 make things clear to him, he would give up!”

Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi’s interaction fell into the eyes of Xia Yun Xi. This was an irony.

No wonder Feng Cang dodged her at every turn. It seems that feelings have developed between these siblings!

Originally, Murong Qi Qi was a princess who’d come for a marriage alliance and it was Feng Cang who personally went to fetch her. Perhaps these two people had already bred fondness out of familiarity. Later, because of their relation as siblings, they had been forced to separate. However, the feelings were still there. So, despite the ethical code, they’ve maintained an amorous relationship! Really shameless!

Naturally, the one Xia Yun Xi scolded was Murong Qi Qi. Of course, she wouldn’t admonish Feng Cang. In Xia Yun Xi’s heart, everything about Feng Cang was great. Therefore, the problem definitely lied with Murong Qi Qi. It was this woman who’d 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 shift Feng Cang’s attention from 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 had discussed again and again with Lin Ke Xin. The two felt that uncooked rice turned to cooked rice was the best method. 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 of the place turned livelier. Wanyan Lie ruled the country a bit slack. That’s why the officials did not act so cautiously. Now, they had begun to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drunk big glasses of wine. There were people who’d boxed with the wine and also people who’d gotten up to toast with each other.

The scene turned even more vibrant. Seeing this, Xia Yun Xi’s eyes lit up. This was an opportunity! As Xia Yun Xi was thinking, her hand touched the hairpin on her head. Taking advantage of when others didn’t pay her any 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 had hidden 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.

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 head. With one look, she saw two people she disliked the most. The two had appeared at the same time as if they’d 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.

“Wangye,2 can I treat you to a cup of wine?” At a side, Xia Yun Xi also said the same.

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.

“Wangye, I will pour wine for you.” Seeing Feng Cang being 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 fragrance of the wine that’d drifted over, Murong Qi Qi’s face turned cold.

Shameless to the extreme! In this world, there was actually such a shameless woman. Putting drugs in the wine 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 had being getting along well for a long time now. Every move and gaze of hers, he knew what they meant. Now, Murong Qi Qi pulling at his sleeve after Xia Yun Xi had 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 had poured, Murong Qi Qi sneered. This 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 was 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 he didn’t know what to think anymore. By the time Wanyan Yi woke up, Murong Qi Qi had already drunk 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 had drunk the wine. Xia Yun Xi also looked at Feng Cang eagerly, “Wangye, 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 being like this is unfriendly. You only treated bengong’s3 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 heart was beating twice as fast. When she drew closer, 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 had already poured the wine into his mouth. Seeing Feng Cang drink the wine she’d poured, Xia Yun Xi felt that happiness was waving at her. Everything had gone according to her plan. It seemed that heaven was helping her.

Wanyan Yi and Xia Yun Xi were both 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 wangfei.4

Thinking a bit differently from Xia Yun Xi, although Wanyan Yi felt that he was one step closer to victory, but after seeing Xia Yun Xi toast Feng Cang just now, he keenly sensed the strangeness in this woman. The thought that Xia Yun Xi might have used the same method as him to deal with Feng Cang, made a knot swell in his heart.
