Chapter 406: A Touch of Affection

"It seems that the Nine Emperors really understand Miss, Miss ate these two, and her expression is really not right from just now." Baoyue saw that Murong Xuanji no longer had the sullen appearance just now, and couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"Mouthy." Although he said reproachful words, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

Thanks to the breakfast that Xuanyuan Hao prepared for Murong Xuanji, after eating, Murong Xuanji's mood was really much better, and his mood was much more cheerful.

"Where's Baoqing? Why didn't I see her early in the morning? Murong Xuanji was sorting out her makeup in the mirror, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Baoqing since she got up in the morning, so she asked casually.

"Baoqing said that she went out of the house, and if Miss smelled it, she said that she went to do something for Miss." Baoyue has been by Murong Xuanji's side for a long time, although sometimes she will boldly tease Murong Xuanji for a few words, but she also knows her identity, so she shouldn't be too curious when she should shut up, which is why Murong Xuanji will keep Baoyue by her side.

After Baoyue said this, Murong Xuanji remembered what he had told Baoqing before, so he didn't say anything more. After breakfast, he was a little bored, and Xuanyuan Hao no longer accompanied him in the house, so he felt a little bored and wanted to read, but after reading for a while, he couldn't concentrate on reading, so Murong Xuanji had to take a walk in the garden accompanied by Baoyue. Fortunately, the weather outside is very good, the sun is shining, and there is a warm feeling on the sunburner.

Murong Xuanji walked to the pavilion where she had been chatting with Xuanyuan Hao not long ago, and Baoyue was smart enough to have tea and pastries prepared.

"Baoyue, you go down first, I want to be alone for a while. If Baoqing comes back, let her come to me directly. Murong Xuanji explained with a heavy heart.

"Yes, miss." Baoyue looked at Murong Xuanji worriedly, but left obediently.

I don't know how long I stayed in the pavilion, but it was so long that Murong Xuanji was about to fall asleep by the sun, and Baoqing hurriedly ran over.

"Don't say goodbye, hurry up and tell me what you have found." Before Baoqing could say goodbye, Murong Xuanji had already opened his mouth to stop her. Ordinary Baoqing always gives people a feeling of being light and unhurried, and seeing her a little anxious today, Murong Xuanji knew that she must have found out something, so she couldn't wait to ask.

"Back to Miss, I found something suspicious." Baoqing said with a stern face, "Early this morning, I went to guard near the person that Miss asked me to follow, and she went to the restaurant near her residence for breakfast as usual, but I actually saw the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in that restaurant. ”

"The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Qi Fangfei? Murong Xuanji asked with some surprise, "Why is she there?" Is she alone? ”

"Yes, she's alone." Baoqing nodded and replied in the affirmative.

Murong Xuanji's expression was a little puzzled, and he pondered alone, not understanding how Yu Xinya and Qi Fangfei could appear in the same place at the same time, whether it was a real coincidence or an encounter with ulterior motives.

"Baoqing, do you know the identity of the person I asked you to follow?" After a long time, Murong Xuanji asked Baoqing with some coldness.

"I don't know. I can only do what Miss tells me to do, and I don't think I have any curiosity about other things that I should know. Baoqing listened to Murong Xuanji's tone and question, and was secretly shocked in his heart, and replied more humbly.

Murong Xuanji glanced at Baoqing, although Baoqing kept her head down, Murong Xuanji still saw a trace of nervousness on her face, knowing that her question just now scared her, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not suspecting you anything." It was the Nine Emperor Princes who asked you to come to my side to serve me and protect me, which shows that the Nine Emperor Princes trust you very much, as long as it is someone that the Nine Emperor Princes trust, I will also believe it. ”

"Yes!" Baoqing didn't know what Murong Xuanji meant by this, but he still responded in a low voice.

"Baoqing, the person I asked you to follow is the county lord of Nanxiao Kingdom, and the place where you squat every day is the place where the imperial court arranges for the county lord and envoys of Nanxiao Kingdom to live." Murong Xuanji turned his back and looked at the sun shining on the lake water in the pond in the garden, sparkling and a little dazzling, Murong Xuanji couldn't help but squint his eyes, seeing the fish swimming around in the lake, it was so comfortable.

Baoqing kept his head down, not knowing what Murong Xuanji's purpose was in telling him about this. The atmosphere around him was a little cold, and Baoqing felt that the air was a little thin.

Just when Baoqing didn't know what to do, Murong Xuanji finally turned around and returned to his original seat again, his calm eyes stayed on Baoqing, "Baoqing, do you know what my purpose is for telling you so much today?" ”

Baoqing shook his head and said with a blank face: "Baoqing, maybe I could treat you as a girl who served me before, but now, the Nine Emperors are dealing with the affairs of the imperial court and the tasks assigned to him by the emperor, so at this time, I don't want to be his burden, I don't want him to worry, do you understand?" ”

Baoqing nodded, but he still didn't understand Murong Xuanji's thoughts.

Murong Xuanji smiled faintly, and said a little unhurriedly: "So now, I don't want you to just be a girl who serves me, I also want you to be the one who can help me." ”

Baoqing didn't expect Murong Xuanji to take such a fancy to herself, knelt down on her knees, and said firmly: "Miss can afford Baoqing is Baoqing's blessing, and Baoqing will definitely give up." ”

Murong Xuanji nodded with satisfaction, secretly admiring Baoqing's knowledge in his heart, and couldn't help admiring the people around Xuanyuan Hao who seemed mediocre, but they were all hidden masters.

"This county lord of Nanxiao Kingdom is very similar to one of the daughters of General Yuanda of Xiqi Kingdom, I suspect that it is the same person, no matter what her identity is, I always feel that her purpose of coming to the Northern Netherworld this time is not pure, so I want you to monitor her well." Murong Xuanji said calmly without losing a hint of majesty.

"I will not disappoint Miss's expectations." Baoqing said categorically.

"If this county lord is really the daughter of the Grand General of the West Qi Kingdom, then she and the Eighth Prince of the West Qi Kingdom must know each other, if the two do not have any intersection, it is too suspicious, but the strange thing is how could she meet Qi Fangfei today?" Murong Xuanji still felt that things were a little unsimple, "That county lord really didn't have any conversation with Qi Fangfei?" ”

"Yes, I can see clearly, when the county lord arrived, that Miss Qi had already eaten breakfast in the restaurant, so people didn't say a word, but the county lord hesitated when ordering, looked around, and finally pointed to Miss Qi's table and ordered the same breakfast." Baoqing said everything he saw while reminiscing.

Murong Xuanji listened to Baoqing's words while looking for flaws, it seemed that the two of them did not have any suspicion, but Murong Xuanji's naturally sensitive intuition felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as expression.

"Qi Fangfei." Murong Xuanji muttered the name to herself, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong there, "Baoqing, you have been following the county lord for the past few days, before this, did the county lord and the prime minister's daughter appear on an occasion together?" ”

Baoqing thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly replied as if he thought of something: "A few times, but at the beginning, my attention was on the county lord, so I didn't pay too much attention, after Miss reminded me like this, I remembered that I had seen that Miss Qi a few times before, but it was just a flash, so I paid too much attention." Baoqing said later, because of self-blame, his voice became lower and lower.

"It's none of your business, you don't have to blame yourself." Murong Xuanji glanced at Baoqing's expression and knew what she was thinking, so she comforted her, "It's just that these two women are too shrewd, and I almost fooled them." ”

"If I could have been a little more careful, I wouldn't—" Baoqing still fell into deep self-reproach.

"Stop, now is not the time for you to blame yourself." Murong Xuanji interrupted her words in time, thought for a moment and said, "Don't follow that county lord for the time being, go and find out what that Qi Fangfei is doing during this time?" ”

The more Murong Xuanji thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she always felt that this Qi Fangfei was not as innocent as it seemed, especially her feelings for Xuanyuan Hao, although Xuanyuan Hao was nothing to her, but when she thought that a woman would dare to covet her man, Murong Xuanji would still feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Maybe he wanted to make up for his previous carelessness, maybe Baoqing was indeed a little capable, in short, it was just an afternoon, when Murong Xuanji was eating dinner alone, Baoqing came back, and brought back a news that surprised Murong Xuanji and expected.

"Miss, I found out that the prime minister's daughter has been inquiring about Miss recently." Baoqing said to Murong Xuanji with a serious face.

"Why?" Before Murong Xuanji could speak, Baoyue opened her mouth dissatisfiedly to fight for Murong Xuanji, "That prime minister's daughter, it seems that Wenwen is weak, but she always has ill intentions towards our Nine Emperor Princes, always finds trouble with Miss, and speaks with thorns, and now she is still privately inquiring about Miss, what does she want to do?" ”

Baoqing glanced at Baoyue, and her eyes signaled her not to tell the truth. Only then did he look at Murong Xuanji's solemn expression, and asked with some concern, "Does Miss suspect something?" ”

Murong Xuanji tugged at the corners of Baoqing's mouth, and also lost his appetite, put down his chopsticks and asked Baoyue to withdraw the meal, and asked Baoqing to accompany him to the corridor outside. Quiet thinking.

"Baoqing, what kind of person do you think that Qi Fangfei is?" Murong Xuanji asked Baoqing instead, "Do you think she secretly probed on my affairs just for the sake of the Nine Emperor Princes, just to know herself and her opponent?" ”

"This-" Baoqing hesitated for a moment, looking at Murong Xuanji and not knowing how to speak.

Murong Xuanji suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "Baoqing, I don't know if you have been by the Nine Emperors' side for too long, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious, not that you are not good at being cautious, but everything is moderate, you are a little too cautious." ”

As soon as Murong Xuanji said this, Baoqing lowered his head again, knowing that Murong Xuanji's words were blaming himself.

"I want a helper who doesn't just follow my orders, I also want her to give me some advice on something, and sometimes an unintentional word can make people lose their eyes on something. Baoqing, do you understand what I mean? Murong Xuanji said to Baoqing earnestly.

"I see." Baoqing couldn't say what the warm heat flow that surged up in his heart was, and looked at Murong Xuanji with a sincere face.

"You are a smart person, let's talk about your feelings for Qi Fangfei." Murong Xuanji knew that she was a smart person when she saw Baoqing's expression. R638
