181 Acting
Hearing Yan Shuangfei mention Liang Ye, Liang Xuan's gaze froze, and his always warm expression became a little unnatural. He chuckled lightly and said with regret: "The second brother is competitive by nature and has a stronger sense of dignity, in fact, death is also a relief for him, at least he can avoid a lot of insults. β
Yan Shuangfei pursed his lips, noncommittal. At this moment, he can still say such high-sounding words, no wonder Liang Xuan can be subjugated and supported by so many ministers.
"Qiqi, you won't blame me for not excusing my second brother, right?" Liang Xuan asked tentatively.
Yan Shuangfei raised his head and chuckled, shaking his head, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his tone. "How could it be. He once framed you like that, and chased and killed us regardless of friendship, and you didn't fall into the well, and you are already very worthy of him. β
I don't know if it's because she is speaking with a clear conscience, Yan Shuangfei's heart swelled with contempt, all of which were mockery of what she said just now.
I never thought that I would be able to act like this. I thought that as long as she went with the flow and lived every day authentically, but the reality was so helpless after all, even if she wanted to escape, cruel things would always follow - in this case, it was better to face it bravely. Perhaps, she should also learn more from him - the first thing to learn is to act in a good play.
"Qiqi, it's good if you can be considerate." Liang Xuan was a little moved, and hugged Yan Shuangfei again.
"Well......" Yan Shuangfei responded softly, and suddenly seemed to remember something again, and explained seriously: "Brother Xuan, in fact, I went to see Liang Ye on the night he died. β
"Oh?" Liang Xuan pretended to be very curious and asked back, but he was very much looking forward to her next step. The guards had already reported this matter to him. It's just that there are too many things to deal with recently, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and then it was not good to ask Yan Shuangfei about it. This time she took the initiative to mention it, and Liang Xuan was naturally happy to listen to it.
"Before he went, he sent a guard to bring me a letter saying that he wanted to apologize to me. Later, when I arrived at the cell, I realized that he had already remembered me. And the reason why he forgot about me was that Concubine Shu gave him a strange medicine...... It was also because of this incident that he killed Concubine Shu. Yan Shuangfei said as he spoke, his voice choked again. It's just that at this time, she can't tell whether she is really feeling sorry for Liang Ye or continuing her "acting".
Liang Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked casually, "Then he, did he talk to you about anything else?" β
Yan Shuangfei shook his head blankly, and his innocent eyes fell on Liang Ye's eyes staring at her. "He just apologized to me, he didn't say anything else, and he said that everything was meaningless, and he made me forget about him, and everything related to him......"
"Qiqi, since the second brother has let go of everything, you don't need to be too sad." Liang Xuan comforted him kindly, the stone in his heart seemed to fall silently, and the faint worry slowly disappeared.
Yan Shuangfei saw the unconcealable relief on Liang Xuan's face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She naturally knew that someone must have reported to Liang Xuan about her visit to Liang Ye. It was impossible for Liang Xuan not to suspect that Liang Ye had told Yan Shuangfei the ins and outs of the matter, so he didn't dare to rashly look for Yan Shuangfei, and it wasn't until Yan Shuangfei showed him his heart that he dared to talk to her about those things.
- So, what she has to do is to completely dispel his doubts, so that he thinks that she really knows nothing, and she is indeed the "Qiqi" who loves him deeply. And judging from the current situation, she should have done it.
"Qiqi, you haven't told me about what you've been through...... Liang Xuan came back to his senses, and his vaguely worried gaze fell on Yan Shuangfei's slightly haggard face. How did you escape when you were chased by the man in black? β
Yan Shuangfei frowned, and looked at Liang Xuan's gaze very seriously, as if she had palpitations, and her voice couldn't stop trembling when she spoke.
"Brother Xuan, that time, thanks to Brother Feng, if it weren't for him, I would definitely not be able to see you again!"
"General Duan?" Liang Xuan asked in surprise, this time, he was really surprised.
Yan Shuangfei nodded seriously, and added slightly mysteriously: "Or should it be said, it is the Palace Master of the Shadowless Palace." β
"Oh?" Liang Xuan's eyes flashed suddenly, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he immediately returned to a curious look. "You mean, General Duan is the palace master of the Shadowless Palace?"
"Hmm!" Yan Shuangfei answered seriously.
Liang Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if he had a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "This is General Duan's big secret, you told me, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?" β
"What's there to be angry about, Brother Feng won't mind Brother Xuan knowing." Yan Shuangfei blinked his eyes and said very seriously.
Seeing Liang Ye's puzzled face, Yan Shuangfei explained again: "Brother Xuan, you misunderstood Brother Feng. Although the Shadowless Palace is powerful in the rivers and lakes, it has never meant to offend the imperial court. Moreover, Brother Feng was in the Shadowless Palace, and he taught his palace members to devote themselves to the court. The Duan family has been loyal and good for generations, how can they have the intention of rebellion? The emperor also sent Brother Feng to encircle and suppress the Shadowless Palace, if Brother Feng had the idea of rebellion, wouldn't he have rebelled a long time ago? How can you swallow your anger? β
Listening to Yan Shuangfei's methodical explanation, Liang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Yan Shuangfei's hair, seeing that Yan Shuangfei frowned slightly in annoyance, the love in his heart was a little more. "Silly girl, these are what General Duan taught you, right?"
"How do you know?" Yan Shuangfei pretended to be surprised, and asked with wide eyes.
"Hehe, it seems that my father has misunderstood the Shadowless Palace's attempt. Since the Shadowless Palace is led by General Duan, it is a force hidden in the rivers and lakes by the imperial court, Qiqi can rest assured, Xuan will never be embarrassed. Liang Xuan laughed lightly, but said to Yan Shuangfei very seriously.
"Brother Feng said that after listening to these explanations, Brother Xuan will definitely not misunderstand the Shadowless Palace again, and this is really true." Yan Shuangfei grinned, his face was innocent and harmless, but his heart was complicated.
From beginning to end, Liang Xuan never used the word "I" on her, but in this seemingly sincere exchange, he has been lying to her.
How could Liang Xuan not know that Duan Qifeng was the palace master of the Shadowless PalaceβI'm afraid that he was the first among them to know this secret.
Going back a few months ago, it was the days when he and she first met. On that day, a group of black-clothed people of unknown origin wanted to assassinate Master and Duan Qifeng, and the black-clothed man who held her hostage, she always remembered his eyes - the next time they met, it was on the night of Liang Ye's wedding, when she went to pursue the white figure, and at that moment, she recognized those eyes.
That person is Qian Baochen, that is, the personal guard who rescued him in the bamboo forest as mentioned by Liang Xuan just now.
